Seven-year-old Stymie, alltime top money winner ($911,335), fractured a bone in his right forefoot in July and has been "resting, just resting" since Trainer Hirsch Jacobs sent him to a Virginia farm. Armed, second money winner ($773,700), sprained his left foreleg last winter, lost some easy races, and was retired to Calumet Farm because Trainer Jones didn't want to see the seven-year-old "degraded." Assault was retired to stud (but proved impotent) after losing the Widener Handicap last February (TIME, March 1). Citation's victory last week put him ahead of Assault...
Animal Kingdom.

Out of the glacial blue clay came parts of a hind leg, pelvis, forefoot, vertebrae, a molar tooth. Back in Chicago's Field Museum, where he is Assistant Curator of Paleontology, Patterson pieced the fragments together. Last week he announced that he had one of the finest fossil ground sloths discovered in the U. S. since 1796. In that year the huge, extinct beast was first studied and named Megalonyx by a great U. S. paleontologist...
Narvik lies at the western forefoot of a mountainous promontory between two fjords. Last week a French general and General Fleischer of the Norse 6th Division superintended a 24-hour assault, begun at bright midnight. British warships' fire and French artillery covered landings by French Alpine troops across the north fjord to one side of the promontory. Polish troops pushed in from the other side.
