More in hurt than anger, New Rochelle defended Lincoln as a typical "neighborhood school" that, like Topsy, just grew that way. The trial told a different story. Back in 1930, the school board redrew lines to make the Lincoln district match the Negro area. It also allowed whites to transfer out -and they did. By 1949 the school was 100% Negro...
...OPEN ENROLLMENT. The most widely used method so far, it modifies the neighborhood-school concept enough to let students of mostly Negro schools transfer to mostly white schools that have sufficient room. Open enrollment was pioneered in New York City, is used or will be starting in some form next September in Baltimore, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, San Francisco and many smaller cities. Usually only a fraction of the eligible Negro students take advantage...
...Gehlen's organization, and reportedly Gehlen will retire soon. Von Hassel added lamely: "There will always be cases of infiltration in any intelligence service." But the Gehlen group must have set a record of sorts. At one point, testified Felfe, his Russian bosses urged him to get a transfer because there already was a surplus of Soviet agents in his department.

Simultaneously, the two agents got citations for ten years' meritorious...
Twice last week the big U.S. Air Force hospital plane thundered north from La Paz to the Canal Zone, each time carrying strictly quarantined, desperately ill patients plucked from the hinterlands of Bolivia for transfer to the modern facilities of Gorgas Hospital. First to land were Wisconsin-born Dr. Ronald MacKenzie, 38, and Panamanian Technician Angel Muñoz, 42. At Gorgas, the fearful diagnosis made in the field was confirmed: both were victims of a newly discovered and deadly disease, Bolivian hemorrhagic fever. By midweek, the C-130 with its doctor-nurse team had made another trip, carrying...
Manhattan Transfer. Last week the Brenninkmeyers were well on their way to gaining control of the cash-and-carry Ohrbach's chain ("A business in millions, a profit in pennies"), which has sales of some $75 million from five low-markup clothing "supermarkets" in Manhattan, Newark, Long Island and greater Los Angeles. The Brenninkmeyers bought an interest of roughly 47% in the chain last year, have an agreement to buy the remaining shares from Founder and Chairman Nathan Ohrbach when he decides to retire; Ohr-bach is vigorous and determined to stay on, but he is also 77. Fortnight...
