JEW HIGH SCHOOL
LAD IS ASSAULTED
BALTIMORE. June— The Con
gressional committee investgat
ing un-American activities was
reported ready to send repres
entatives here to join local au
thorities in their nvestigation of
the attack on a junior high
school Jewish student, Mervin
Bridge, 14, for alleged anti-Sem
etic activities within the school’s
news.
Representative Dies committee
chairman, is now in Houston,
Texas, and said he would "send
an investigator to Baltimore in
the next day or two to make a
complete inquiry into conditions
there.” Mayor Jackson ordered
Forrest Bramble, school board
president, to conduct an exhaust
ive probe into the reported
branding of the boy by 40 fel
low pupils.
Young Bridge said they had
slashed his neck when he admit
ted he was Jewish.
So far the only arrest was the
detention of Morton Rosen, 19,
seaman, and a friend of Bridge,
held for grand jury action, and
released under $100 bail, on
charges he assaulted Harry Eb
berts, 15, and Carrol] Phillips,
17, in retaliation for the attack
on Bridge.
Grizzly Giant, America’s
Own Leaning Tower of Pisa
SAN FRANCISCO, —The lean
ing Tower of Psa in Italy, long
considered a world wonder, has
its living counterpart in the
famed Grizzly Giant, a towering
Sequoia tree in Yosemite Nation
al Park, comparative figures re
ported to the National Park Ser
vice regional office of the Inter
ior Department disclosed recent
ly.
Figures from Yosemite reveal
that the big tree, 209 feet high,
leans 18,3 feet off center or ap
proximately four degrees and 58
minutes. So well known for its
off-center angle of four degrees
and 27 minutes or 14 feet, the
Tower of Pisa 179 feet high leans
less than the Grizzly Giant.
While the angle is so apparent
in the latter, it is far less notice
able in the great Sequoia due to
its large spreading branches and
proximity of surrounding trees.
Park Superintendent Lawren
ce Merriam states research has
revealed that the Grizzly Giant
has been off center probably for
centuries, but is in no danger
of falling. Recent annual checks
have shown the lean has not var
ied. An extensive root system
thoroughly anchors the big tree,
also held in place by buttressing
of the trunk, 34.7 feet in dia
meter at the base. In addition,
limbs and foliage have develop
ed in such a way to counter-bal
ance this condition. The center
of gravity of the tree is declared
to be well within the stability
limit.
The Sequoia is located in the
Mariposa Grove of Big Trees,
and is annually viewed by tens
of thousands of park visitors,
most of whom arc unaware they
