...advisory board has been set up for the first time to help guide the drive and select the individual charities. In previous years, campaign chairmen were under supervision only by the Student Council, but now a board with representatives from several College organizations, including the CRIMSON, WHRB, and the Freshman Council, will help co-ordinate the campaign...
Happy Anniversary (Fields Productions; United Artists) is a vulgar, slick, hilarious film version of Anniversary Waltz (TIME, April 19, 1954), a common mattress farce, put together by Jerome Chodorov and Joseph Fields, that packed the Broadway tourists in for more than 17 months.

At the time, his mourners did not recall his failures but remembered his "firm, unquestioning faith; his kindly, frock-coated dignity; his accessibility and dedication to the people: the federal simplicity that would not be seen again in Washington."
