Heavyweight pass: verified source as the Church History Library-contributed Internet Archive scan conferencereport1957a (127th Annual Conference, held Apr 5-7, 1957; IA metadata confirms CHL call no. M204.1 A1 1880, 1897-). Rebuilt page reading order from the scan's DjVu XML word-coordinate data (scripts/ingest/cr-reading-order.py) to safely resolve talk boundaries against the report's own session headers (FIRST/SECOND/THIRD DAY, MORNING/AFTERNOON MEETING, GENERAL PRIESTHOOD MEETING) and speaker headers. Confirmed session and exact date from the report's own dateline (Friday Apr 5 = First Day, Saturday Apr 6 = Second Day plus the Saturday-evening General Priesthood Meeting, Sunday Apr 7 = Third Day); corrected date_precision from month to exact and added the session field (both were previously unset). Added a page-anchored source_url (leaf n133 of conferencereport1957a) in place of the bare item link. This is Elder Marion G. Romney's Church of the Air broadcast (Columbia network), printed after the conference's formal adjournment; distinct from Gordon M. Romney's Priesthood Meeting address.
