...good demonstration of how a scientific breeder works. Lasater gives his cattle a start- dehorning, vaccination against blackleg, a little hay and some alfalfa pellets in the winter; then he stands off and watches. Should a cow trip in holes, need its hooves trimmed, walk with a short gait, have to be milked out to prevent caked udder, or drop its calf one hour after the 42-day calving period, it is yanked out and sold for slaughter. The same end awaits a bull that has trouble at stud or a calf that is wild or too lean. Unlike many...
Dividing the House. Near the end of Eden's disjointed, defensive speech he made the mistake of calling Gait-skell's criticism of the Baghdad Pact "a milder echo of the Moscow radio," and had to take his words back. Having risen to Tory cheers, he sat down to a Labor thunder of "Resign! resign!" Gaitskell, shouting at the top of his lungs to be heard, cried: "In view of the totally unsatisfactory nature of the Prime Minister's reply, we shall divide the House...
...down to his knees, "Hans" Wagner was a Pennsylvania coal miner at twelve, a barber a few years later, when he came up to the light and air. Then in 1895 he tried semipro baseball.

Barrow wasted no time signing the youngster to play for his Paterson, N.J. team...
Itch is beautifully mounted in De Luxe-color CinemaScope, and Marilyn Monroe's eye-catching gait is more tortile and wambling than ever. She also displays a nice comedy touch, reminiscent of a baby-talk Judy Holliday. After listening to a Rachmaninoff concerto, Marilyn gets real comic conviction into her voice when she decides it must be classical music "because there's no vocal." Tom Ewell brings the expertise of long familiarity to his part of the agonized husband, but Director Wilder has let several of Ewell's monologues go on a shade too long. In minor...
...charge of delay for the Craig forces was a round, rollicking state senator named Roy Conrad of Monticello, who raises purebred Aberdeen Angus cattle. An expert in state political matters, Conrad put the slowdown on everywhere. He even changed his personal gait. From his seat near the back of the senate chamber to the microphone at the front, Conrad began to move at the pace of a tired Angus on a summer evening. Conrad was not tired; he had merely made a deal with Craig to block the Jennerite bill...
