Leo Sherlock from Chicago: “I have brought 103 babies into the world” 
Sherlock is not an obstetrician.  Rather, he is a Chicago police officer, who over the course of a twenty-year career has been in the right place at the right time – a lot.  Even in his current role as a deskbound “lockup keeper”, processing, fingerprinting and detaining suspects, he recently managed his 103rd delivery when police realized the mother wouldn’t make it to the hospital in time, and they knew “Midwife Sherlock” was in his station house across the street.   

Mrs. Garnand from Cleveland, Ohio: “I am the world’s fastest typist” 
Stella Pajunas Garnand first won national typing competitions in 1946.  Almost immediately, IBM hired her to make public appearances to show off her skills and of course promote their line of electric typewriters, still relatively new to the public.  Her speed of 216 wpm on an electric typewriter is a record that, astonishingly, still stands today, though faster speeds have been set on modern computer keyboards, especially on non-QWERTY keyboards specially designed to be more efficient.   In 1964, Garnand would contract a form of muscular dystrophy.  With exercise and training to overcome the effects of MS, she still managed to reach speeds of 140 words per minute.  The average person types at 40 wpm.   

Special Guest Broderick Crawford challenges the panel’s powers of observation. 
Crawford and Garry make subtle changes around the set (switching ties, moving a bandage from one side to another, even changing the show sign to read What’s My Line?) and the panel tries to notice what’s different.  Crawford, an Oscar winner in 1949 for All The King’s Men, is typically known at this point for his tough-guy roles on stage and screen.  He has just begun starring in the syndicated police series Highway Patrol (1955-1959) as Police Chief Dan Matthews.  The series would make him an international star.
