East v. West. As a two-year-old, Never Bend won seven of ten races and an all-time record $402,969; two weeks ago he clearly stamped himself the best in the East by coasting to a five-length victory in Florida's $136,600 Flamingo Stakes. The West's champion, Candy Spots, has an even cleaner record: he has won all his five races, and on the same day that Never Bend won the Flamingo, he skirted a four-horse pile-up to win California's $143,300 Santa Anita Derby by 1½ lengths...
Captain Harry F. Guggenheim, owner of Cain Hoy Stable, whose Dark Star handed the great Native Dancer the only defeat of his career in the 1953 Kentucky Derby: a sweep of Belmont Park's opening-week Cowdin and Lawrence Realization stakes. Guggenheim's speedy two-year-old Never Bend swept to a three-length triumph in the seven-furlong Cowdin, and his three-year-old Battle Joined came home in front by two lengths in the 1⅝-mile Lawrence. Prosperous Cain Hoy's winnings for the week...
...recently dismissed a similar suit on technical grounds, but added: "Chicago cannot deny the existence of de facto segregation or excuse it on the pretext of a benign indifference." Chicago's $48,500-a-year (tops in the U.S.) School Superintendent Benjamin Willis long defended neighborhood schools. Last month Willis retreated to an imitation of New York City's two-year-old "open enrollment" plan, which this fall will allow 9,000 youngsters in heavily Negro and Puerto Rican schools to attend underused schools in white neighborhoods...
...because the pace had slowed. To be sure, she still kept photographers busy-with profitable results. And the Ravello villa was still a crowded place: on the premises with Jackie and little Caroline were Jackie's sister Lee Radziwill, Lee's three-year-old son and two-year-old daughter, a dozen or so U.S. Secret Service agents, a score of Italian cops, and an ample household staff. At home Caroline played hostess to some of the village children-the daughters of a carpenter, a boatman, a laborer. None of them spoke English, and Caroline does...
Curiously enough, the Government is working simultaneously to raise short-term interest rates. The thinking at the Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board goes this way: since the Government's two-year-old policy of easy money has not stimulated much borrowing for business expansion, a slight tightening of short-term rates should not affect capital spending very much-but should help slow the nation's gold outflow by narrowing the spread between interest rates at home and abroad. In pursuit of this new policy the Federal Reserve has lately been reducing the nation's lendable money...
