Secretary Wilber Brucker said the armed strength at 14 military posts will be reduced by 50 000 by June 30 1958 to meet a personnel ceiling. No major post will close in fiscal 1958. Reductions come mainly from fewer trainees transfers and inactivations.

Scientist says normal humans are exceedingly rare
Dr. Roger J. Williams, UT Austin chemist, teased the idea of a standard human by statistics. He showed one in 1,024 could be truly normal, and that with 99.8 percent assumed normal, only one in five would fit the broad standard. He argued body chemistry varies with each person, making sameness impossible.
