...penance, and Rochester's Bishop Fulton J. Sheen, 72, was more than agreeable. On Ash Wednesday he disclosed that he has turned over $680,000 worth of church property in downtown Rochester-1½ acres of land, a church and a parochial school-to the Federal Government for use in an urban-renewal project. Some of the Negroes and Puerto Ricans who make up a majority in the parish were distressed at losing the church and school, but Sheen promised to support a new social center next to another Catholic church in the area...
...gymnasium dispute. Columbia got the city's permission to put up a $9,500,000 building in Morningside Park, long a bottle-strewn, crime-ridden buffer between the campus and Harlem. The university plans to devote the ground floor to a free community gymnasium and swimming pool, use upper floors of the building for its own athletic programs. Although this would be the only such public facility in the neighborhood, well-organized protesters called the project "a land grab" and "a desecration of a public park," termed the facilities "separate but unequal." The university did not help matters much...
Goddard made it clear that, personally, he opposed such harsh measures. But law-enforcement officials had convinced him that without the increased penalties their hands were tied.

...vaccine, tested on over 1,200 flu sufferers by the Eli Lilly pharmaceutical company of Indianapolis, is now being marketed under the trade name Zonomune. It was developed by Lilly in cooperation with scientists at the Atomic Energy Commission and the National Institutes of Health. Using a modified high-speed centrifuge, a research team headed by Dr. Norman G. Anderson of the AEC's Oak Ridge National Laboratory was able to remove 95% of the vaccine impurities that have caused side effects in the past. The Lilly Co. has bought three of the $40,000, 32,000-r.p.m...
Expanding the gravity studies, Oyama and NASA Biologist William Platt have begun to use a new 26-ft.-radius centrifuge that can be supplied with food and cleansed of waste while it is running. On it, generations of rodents can be born and spend their entire lives under uninterrupted higher G. loads. From the responses of test animals-eventually including primates-Oyama hopes to predict the effects on astronauts of space trips that last for months and even years...
