Into the U.S. Senate's buff-and-marble caucus room one day last week marched the New York Central Railroad's pink-and-silver Robert R. Young. Railroader Young was there to answer the questions of a Senate Banking subcommittee investigating the recent rash of proxy battles. The Senate subcommittee, headed by Wall Street Alumnus Herbert H. Lehman, wanted Bob Young to explain just how he had managed to win control of the $2 billion New York Central last year, and especially how he made his big deal whereby Texas Oilmen Clint Murchison and Sid Richardson cast...
...Cutter question seemed finally answered. It was a rash of polio cases following use of Cutter vaccine that had first halted the vaccination program. For weeks, experts have broadly suggested that some live virus must have slipped through the killing and testing process in the manufacture of the Cutter product. Last week, for the first time, a virologist flatly asserted that he had found live virus in Cutter specimens. He was Dr. Louis P. Gebhardt, professor of bacteriology and director of the polio research laboratory at the University of Utah. The chilling thought, of course, was that what happened...
Sociologists and Justices have studied carefully the grave Southern threats that "Negro blood will boil into the gutters of Memphis." Even though many of these gruesome promises are designed merely to discourage radical de-segregation, some Southerners may feel pride-bound to fulfill their rash avowals. Particularly in rural areas, where Negroes compete for jobs directly with whites; where illiteracy, bigotry, and violence combine in a sordid tangle, racist strife seems likely as integration approaches. Yet these social experts could point to Baltimore and Washington as examples of successful rapid integration. They cited numorous cases in labor and military...
...month-old boy in Pocatello, Idaho got sick too. He had been vaccinated eight days earlier. Also in Pocatello, Susan Pierce, seven, became ill with bulbar polio three days after her inoculation. Within two days she was dead. In Moscow, Idaho, another seven-year-old girl died. A rash of cases was reported, from Napa, Calif, to Chicago...
Interrupted Melody (M-G-M). The Salk vaccine, which prevents infantile paralysis, will probably bring out, in reaction, a low-grade rash of films like this one. If ignored, they will go away. Based on the autobiography of Marjorie Lawrence, the Metropolitan Opera star who was stricken with the disease in 1941 but came back in 1943 to sing Venus from a sitting position, Interrupted Melody is a poliopera in color. For three-fourths of the picture, Singer Lawrence (played by Eleanor Parker, sung by Eileen Farrell) vivaciously eludes the clutches of one hairy tenor after another in scenes from...
