Rockefeller's bill will not easily overcome various pressures in the legislature. Democrats are using his stand as a weapon in a forthcoming Nassau County election. Other opposition has come mainly from counties who have thought themselves able to finance education without raising local taxes, who have turned down bond issues repeatedly. Significantly, however, opposition to educational spending has reversed its field. Where once "federal" control was the bugaboo, in New York it seems that "local" control is the danger. Fortunately, this is a difficult point to prove...
...acquisition, a 1949 oil entitled Woman in Blue, is the donation of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Pulitzer, who are notable collectors of modern art. The woman was obviously posed in a chair, but she is painted so that she seems to stand parallel to the wall, in a manner reminiscent of El Greco's Fray Hortensio Felix Paravicino.

Says Bernard de Bunsen, British principal of Uganda's Makerere College: "We are running a race against time to produce at least a few Africans capable of occupying the key posts they are demanding...
...storm, and nobody expects the break to be as rough as the one that shook the industry four years ago (TIME, May 7, 1956). Said President James L. Runyan of the Kansas City Stock Yards Co.: "Cattlemen don't like the situation, but they are able to stand it. It's not like periods in the past, when cattleman after cattleman went broke...
