Florida endured a chilly winter as migrants, rebels, and exiles filled headlines. Reports describe a makeshift munitions effort in a motel turned factory, indictments of former Cuban leaders, and shortages that fed charitable aid.

Stock Exchange Plans Census of Shareholders
New York Stock Exchange president Keith Funston announced at St. Lawrence University a plan for a 1859 census of shareholders. The project aims to survey about 5.01 publicly held companies with roughly 8,000 stock issues, analyzing 400,000 IBM cards to produce a new portrait of the American stockholder including age occupation income and education. This will be the exchange's third census, following 1952 and 1958 measurements showing rising stockholder numbers.
