Dismay. The man whom these churchmen were expected to nominate is the Rev. Patrick Rodger of Scot land's Episcopal Church, choice of the council's powerful 16-man executive committee at a meeting held in Tutzing, Germany, last August. There were quiet complaints even then about Rodger, a scholarly theologian who has been on the council's staff, as head of its Faith and Order Department, only since 1961.

The winner: Indianapolis' own steady, careful Rodger Ward, who also won in 1958, averaged 140.292 m.p.h., enough to set a new race record and collect a well-earned total of $124,515 in prize money...
...Somewhere between 0 and 300" round bottom flasks are missing, according to Rodger W. Griffin, head lab man of the course. But apparently the flasks themselves are worth very little, and the benzophenone, though prepared by the students, was a result of only about one lab period...
