...violence should prevail at Little Rock's Central High School. The legal situation was more complicated. Last June Federal Judge Harry J. Lemley of Arkansas' Eastern District ordered a 2½-year breathing-spell delay in integration at Little Rock. Last month in St. Louis, the U.S. Eighth Circuit Court reversed Judge Lemley's ruling, but later granted a 3O-day stay of integration, to let the school board present its case to the Supreme Court. Technically, before the Supreme Court last week was an N.A.A.C.P. motion to vacate the 30-day stay. But the U.S., represented...
...leading the majors with 42 home runs and the league with no runs batted in.* Far behind were such famed sluggers as the Giants' Willie Mays (23 homers) and the Yankees' Mickey Mantle (83 runs batted in). Banks seemed a sure bet to become the eighth player-and the first shortstop-ever to hit more than 50 homers in a single season.

Examples: a woman who for years has taught high school English in Pennsylvania had only 18 semester hours of English in college, got mournful Ds in all the courses; a teacher, major in physical education and science, took over an eighth-grade English class in an Ohio school, although she could not spell such a word as acknowledgment. "It is a frightening fact,"' Tuttle says, "that many English teachers do not write or speak as well as their more able students...
...steel industry's scheduled operating rate also continued to climb for the eighth straight week, reached 63.6%, highest since June 16. Steelmen expect the rate to rise to about 70% as inventories are rebuilt and construction awards are translated into more orders for structural steel, which hit the highest level in July in 14 months. Steel stocks paced the market; U.S. Steel hit a historic high of 75⅝. Department stores also reported that sales rose 3% over a year...
