Walking My Baby Back Home (Universal) is a musical with its brains in its feet. The feet, young Donald O'Connor's, are clever enough to weave their way through any reasonably foolish script. But in this picture, Dancer O'Connor is tangled in at least a half-mile of celluloid that should have been left on the cutting-room floor. The love interest: Janet Leigh, in a sweater. The whole thing ends with a sort of death rattle: a concert of "symphonic Dixieland" that seems better calculated to finish jazz than to revive...
Under plans announced this week by Basil O'Connor, president of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, Dr. Salk will widen his testing program in western Pennsylvania to cover more than 5,000 children by midwinter. Then mass field trials on a nationwide basis will get under way on Feb. 8 in a county (still to be chosen) in one of the Southern states where polio strikes early and often.

Test areas will be chosen for scientific reasons, and within those areas the test groups will be picked the same way. Estimated cost of the program: $7,500,000 of $26.5 million which the foundation has earmarked for polio prevention. The rest of the money will go for gamma globulin, which...
