Two thoughts on finding that story. There is a magazine
called "Nation's Business" that is published by the U.S.
Chamber of Commerce. It didn't publish fiction when I used to
see copies in the 1980s but that doesn't mean it didn't in
the early 1950s. The U.S. Chamber is a huge operation in
Washington, DC and I would be surprised if they didn't have a
complete run of the magazine.
Secondly, this is a real long shot but James Atlee Phillips'
son Shawn Phillips was living in Austin, Texas the last I
heard. Shawn achieved some renown as a musician and is still
rocking at the age of 65 according to the website
