Although 67 white children in the Orchard Villa district had been transferred to segregated schools elsewhere, parents of the remaining 14 were generally satisfied with the integrated setup; indeed, with so few pupils, their children were getting far more attention than those in other schools. But that, said the school board, was too costly, and so it voted to relieve overcrowding at nearby, all-Negro Holmes School by assigning more than 100 Negro children to Orchard Villa, along with Negro teachers to replace the white staff. Seven white children were withdrawn from the school, and the others seemed likely...
Mexico's President came mostly to repay friendly visits by Ike, brother Milton, and Texas Senator Lyndon B. Johnson, and the U.S. made sure that he would hit all the high spots. On the agenda: a White House state dinner, a day with Ike at Camp David in Maryland's Catoctin Mountains, a helicopter's-eye look at Gettysburg, an Ike-guided visit to the Eisenhower farm, dinner with Ike at the White House correspondents' dinner celebrating Eisenhower's 69th birthday. From Washington, López Mateos planned to go to Chicago, New York...
...ponderous electric hobby horse, on which Calvin Coolidge took frequent constitutionals while in the White House, was presented to the Forbes Library in Coolidge's home town, Northampton, Mass., where Coolidge's widow Grace dwelt until her death in 1957.

Few victims suffered paralysis, and all recovered, often with startling rapidity. In a 1942 outbreak in White Plains, Dr. Dalldorf saw what he calls "the footprints of other viruses," but it took him five years to track down the particles. From patients with similar illnesses in the Hudson River town of Coxsackie (pop. 2,800), Dr. Dalldorf isolated a hitherto unknown virus. The Coxsackie virus thus put the town...
Last week Iowa-born Gilbert Dalldorf, 59, won one of the 1959 Albert Lasker Awards ($2,500 plus a gold Winged Victory statuette) for following the White Plains footprints to Coxsackie and beyond, and also for showing that one viral infection may interfere with the development of another. (This may explain why, though Coxsackie and polio often coincide, one usually predominates and few if any patients seem to get both diseases...
