...wrote Editor James Jackson Kilpatrick of the Richmond News-Leader, once one of Dixie's hottest massive-resistance defenders, after last week's primary races for the 140 state legislature seats (132 Democratic). Like most politicians, Editor "Kilpo" read the results as a considerable victory for Governor J. Lindsay Almond Jr. and his moderate school program. Politicians also saw in the results a personal comedown for the segregationist patriarch of state Democrats, U.S. Senator Harry Flood Byrd...
...Oxford-educated, held his senate seat against the combined forces of Virginia-style citizens' councils and all that the Byrd forces could throw against him. Byrd and Son Harry Jr., 44-year-old state senator, personally made calls and wrote letters for the candidacy of their cousin, Marshall J. Beverley, whose savage (for Virginia) campaign was managed by Harry Jr.'s brother-in-law, James M. Thomson. Almond maintained the fiction that he was not involved in the campaign, but managed to make it apparent where he stood. Boothe beat Beverley by nearly...
...putting on weight around the middle." With other newsmen-including the Times's fulltime Cuba correspondent, Ruby Hart Phillips -reporting growing discontent with the Castro regime, growing concern about Communist influence, Matthews presented a far brighter picture.

Bittner showed that breast cancer in certain mice is transmitted by a factor, now accepted as a virus, in mouse mothers' milk. This led to the establishment of mouse "dairies," and the painstaking milking of tens of thousands of rodents. In 1951, Dr. Ludwik Gross of The Bronx Veterans...
Worried Stocks. Complicating the situation. United Steelworkers' President David J. McDonald last week presented union demands to the aluminum industry, whose contracts lapse July 31. Dave McDonald wants the same windfall for his 32,000 aluminum members as for his 500,000 steel-industry members: a three-year contract with a 15? hourly wage-and-benefit boost every year, plus cost-of-living hikes. The U.S. aluminum industry is softer than steel; if management accedes to a neat compromise package-perhaps iof an hour-it might speed a settlement in steel. If not, the aluminum workers may soon join...
