When the American Cancer Society gathered a number of the nation's big-name researchers in Palm Beach Shores last week, the most provocative report came from a hitherto-unknown scientist who is not even a specialist in human cancer.

In Denver, Sears, Roebuck & Co., which hitherto had had one Negro employee (dusting shelves), hired 19 more Negroes for a variety of jobs.
