...Kresge Auditorium last night for an organ recital by E. Power Biggs. The three-manual Holtkamp organ has just recently been installed. It is designed along Classical rather than Romantic lines, with all the pipes unenclosed. The instrument speaks with great clarity, although some of the ranks of reed pipes are harsh and unevenly voiced. The Auditorium itself is truly an acoustical marvel...
...Johns Hopkins, it was the end of a long search. After President Detlev Bronk quit in 1953 to head the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, kindly Mathematician Lowell Reed came out of retirement at 67 to serve only until the university could find a younger man. Besides its prestige, Johns Hopkins had a special attraction for Dwight Eisenhower's brother: Baltimore is only a 45-minute train ride from Washington.

All are pointing for next month...
...veterans of World War I, aged 65 and above. But the congressional action that would have the biggest and most immediate impact on the people of the U.S. (see BUSINESS) was enactment of the historic $33.5 billion federal-state road-building program, signed by the President before leaving Walter Reed Hospital. Starting this week, the U.S. motorist will begin to pay for the unprecedented 41,000-mile project with a tax of one cent more for every gallon of gas, plus a tax on tires that will run around 70? a tire for passenger cars...
