...Albert Szent-Gyorgi, Hungarian-born Nobel Prize winner, will also be present at the rally. Szent-Gyorgi relayed an appeal on Sunday to American university students from his former colleagues at the University of Szeged, who asked for aid for Hungarian students. The Student Council unanimously lent support to the Hungarian students on Monday night in response to Szent-Gyorgi's plea...
Last week three judges of the U.S. Court of Appeals at St. Louis not only sustained the District Court injunction but unanimously ruled that school boards administering integration programs "have a federal right to be free from direct and deliberate interference with the performance of their constitutionally imposed duty." In Washington the Justice Department (which had taken the school board's side in the appeal as a "friend of the Court") saw a "nationwide impact" in the hands-off warning to segregationists, believed that the Hoxie suit might well mark a turning point in the integration fight.

Separate Tables (by Terence Rattigan) brings quicksilver to a Broadway season still lacking in blood. A big London hit, Separate Tables is as much stunt as drama in effect, as much production as play in appeal.

Despite this disarmingly candid appeal, readers should be warned not to rush to the flamboyant Armenian's fiscal relief unless they are incurable addicts of the wacky, the whimsical and the whopperish. Only in Saroyan, perhaps, could one meet the vice president of a cemetery company who yearns to write ad copy like "Inter here. A lot for your money." Or the off-key executive who plays Cupid by posting a lonely young man in an empty cubbyhole in the piano warehouse with no duties except to wait for the right girl to come along. She does. Saroyan alternates...
