Active forces could drop about 468,060 to 2,700,000 by June 1959, while all but standby reserves would train regularly.

A Silver Spring Md housewife, Elaine Spencer, underwent a rare operation using cooling to lower body temperature and reduce oxygen needs. Surgeons blocked blood flow through the heart for eight minutes to repair a membrane defect between the heart’s upper chambers, enabling a nearly bloodless field.
