...exercise patient judgment in trying to understand one another's problems. Indeed, just 90 minutes before he went to his press conference, the President had conferred with U.S. Solicitor General J. Lee Rankin. U.S. Legal Spokesman Rankin had told the President, point by point, what he intended to present as the position of the U.S. Government at the Supreme Court's Little Rock hearing next day. That position was for broader action against segregation than even the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People had petitioned for (see below)-and Dwight Eisenhower gave his unqualified approval...
...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.

...heavy-footed bureaucrat ; he plays his part in the Government with the same soft touch that he uses on the pedals of the Hammond organ in his Johns Hopkins residence-in stocking feet. Far from being a doctrinaire ax grinder, he bends over backward to present objective views to Ike. Indeed, he is most reluctant of all to give advice on the subject he knows best and feels most strongly about: agriculture...
...hands-those of Phillips Academy (Andover) Chemistry Master Elbert Weaver -performing experiments. Explanations are amplified by animated drawings showing molecular action. Weaver's scripts are tough enough to keep students out of that double-feature daze, call for as much attention as a classroom lecture. The films present no chemical formulae and do not show a periodic table-these can be handled better by textbooks and classroom charts. The Manufacturing Chemists' Association, which commissioned the films (cost: $20,000 each), will distribute them through nonprofit rentals this fall, plans to have four more made...
