...them legitimate half-brothers or -sisters of an illegitimate sibling. A federal ruling struck down that regulation, but other rules affecting children remain. Currently under attack is Georgia's "employable mothers" law, which allows counties to cut Negro mothers off the family-aid rolls whenever farmers need $2.50-a-day crop pickers. In 21 states, grants may not exceed a stated maximum no matter how many children a family has. Excess children must live in other homes or go hungry...

Many of them looked for temporary work on the ground; TWA Captain Ford S. Blaney-who ordinarily earns $30,000 a year flying a jet-took an $18-a-day job piloting, a gas-eating Chicago taxicab. Nor was there much comfort for some 16,000 passengers of TWA who in most cases were abroad on vacation and found themselves stranded in Europe, unable to get home to the U.S. TWA helped out by offering them interest-free loans...
