SEGREGATION IS NO SOUTHERN MONOPOLY. The vast Negro influx into Northern cities is spreading a new problem: de facto segregation. In New York City more than half the schools are in fact "segregated."

Bernard Berenson, the most cultivated of men and renowned of art historians, died yesterday after a long illness. "B.B.", as his many friends called him, classified the vast, disorganized material of Florentine drawing and Italian Renaissance painting; he was the Linnaeus of art history...
