...wound up 45 years in the Navy with a chestful of decorations and five-star fleet-admiral's rank. He said: "Let the younger fellow's take over." and Bull Halsey's officers-Forrest Sherman, Arthur Radford, Mick Carney, Arleigh Burke-did. He put in a stint for International Telephone & Telegraph Corp., launched but lost a fund-raising drive to save his old flagship Big E from the scrap heap. "Remember!" he rasped. "Scrapped ships will not rest peacefully in deep blue waters beside the gallant Lexington, Wasp, Hornet, Houston, Atlanta, and all the brave others...
...efforts of what are now N.M.A.'s elder statesmen, Negroes today are accepted as members of more and more county medical societies in all states except Louisiana. They have won the right to treat their patients in a growing number of first-class, tax-supported hospitals. To younger elements in N.M.A. leadership, these gains brought a new challenge.

Every other summer for twelve years the Communists have served up a monster propaganda rally for fellow travelers of the younger set from all over the world, and for any other ingenuous souls who could be enticed along. Until this year, the circuses were always staged behind the Iron Curtain, with plenty of Red police to keep things moving by the numbers, and press censorship to blank out any slipups. But last week, when the pink pipes of Pan sounded for the Seventh Youth Festival in neutral Vienna's vast Prater fairgrounds, there was trouble, trouble everywhere...
