...preference were allowed to continue until they had spawned bad publicity for the University. The officials in charge of University relations with clubs and ticket purchasers should have known about and should have stopped both practices. But if this shows official negligence, it can easily be corrected by prompt action. No one has to make public the names of all the players who profited from free tickets. Nor should they be denied free passes, if they give them to family or friends, for they certainly earn them. But the Faculty Committee on Athletics should recommend to the Administrative Board that...
...Prompt Arrest. Despite the restraining efforts of priests and organizers, the threat of violence hung like Spanish moss over the bayous. In Terrebonne Parish, swamp-fire violence flared briefly when four men ambushed and shot three Negro sugar-mill workers, wounding them slightly. The four were promptly arrested. Said Governor Robert F. Kennon: "I feel it is my duty to publicly state that such acts will not be tolerated." Said Jesuit Father L. J.

Sipping countless cups of tea, Reshevsky managed to wind up in a triple tie for second place with two Russians...

"Better to be in good time than too late," replied Winston Churchill. That seemed to be exactly the view of the U.S. State Department, which issued a prompt statement declaring itself "gratified" at the "firm action" against a Communist bid for power within the U.S.'s vital strategic zone...
...process developed by the University of Pittsburgh's Dr. Jonas E. Salk (TIME, Feb. 9). Since the first announcement of his work, Dr. Salk said last week, 474 more subjects, both children and adults, have received the vaccine with no ill effects, and in most cases, with a prompt and dramatic increase in the blood-borne antibodies which give protection against polio. Cautious Dr. Salk made no claim that he had found the answer to the perils and paralysis of polio. There may be several ways of producing a safe and inexpensive polio vaccine, he said, but none...
