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.

Sociologists and Justices have studied carefully the grave Southern threats that "Negro blood will boil into the gutters of Memphis."

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...
