News in Brief: Physically Handicapped. In Washington, D.C., the president honors the 'Handicapped Man of the Year,' Hugo Deffner, of Oklahoma City, and high school essay contest winners. U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower shakes hands, individually, with young women who have won this essay contest, hands them a certificate wrapped like a scroll. People in audience (proud parents undoubtedly among them) applaud. Ike poses with the five teenage girls. Eisenhower poses with plaque and Hugo Deffner, who seems to be in a wheelchair.
