...next morning Publisher Allen had decided that he had not a legal leg to stand on. He went before the grand jury again. This time, questioned again about his sources, he said: "All I have is an anonymous letter."

Said Allen: "I just agreed with 'em to lollipop 'em along...
...When Eileen Sue Van Lopik, 2, of Grand Rapids was found last November to have acute leukemia, doctors examined her identical twin Kathleen Jo, were relieved that she seemed to have no sign of the invariably fatal disease.

Wide, Wide World (Sun. 4 p.m., NBC) has never quite managed the splendor imagined by its creator, but its TV cameras have looked into the Grand Canyon, crossed the seas to Bimini and Cuba, and gone over the border to Mexico and Canada.

The Federal Grand Jury in Chicago last year indicted a debt-pool outfit which assessed customers a $75 "survey charge," then sent them next door to a loan company to borrow the $75. Another Chicago pooler would collect his fee, make a few payments, then recommend that his client go into bankruptcy, steering...

The Big Three U.S. copper companies boosted prices to 46? a lb., an increase of 30? since 1950.
