...heartening report from Ann Arbor last week raised an urgent question for every U.S. parent: "Can my children get shots this year to keep them safe from polio?" For about 30 million (more than half the U.S. population under 18), the answer will be yes. Among them, a vast majority of children up to ten years of age will get the shots in one way or another.

They knew that their union strength in Italy was slipping (from 90% of the workers in 1949 to 60% last year). Yet Togliatti's Communists felt that the Fiat fortress was safe. When 49,600 Fiat workers balloted last week, the Communist vote fell a surprising 27%. The Communists, who previously had 100 shop stewards, elected only 55.
