RATING OURS TOO^
REFLECTION ON PERFECTION
By VERA C. SIEGWART
Is there a new way to write an old thought;
Any conception really freshly begot?
There are ever now devices our hands to employ,
And each hour, new methods for Man to destroy
His fellow on land, on sea, and in air.
To ponder them all, ’tis to despair.
Yet the true convictions of Mankind—ever so
Were SO WELL WRITTEN on stone long ages ago:
The principles, the doctrines, the rules—
there are TEN—
It has never seemed needed to rewrite or amend.

House a compromise bill remov
ing the 10 percent travel tax on
most trips from the U.S. borders
to Alaska, the Caribbean, Ber
muda, Latin America and Hawaii.
The bill contains a limitation
letaining the levy on trips into
rones of Mexico and Canada
which extend 225 miles from the
U.S. border.
The estimated revenue loss is
$17 million a year. The removal

Japanese Air Line
Plans Service to Seattle
SEATTLE, Ml—Japan Air Lines
hopes to start service over the
North Pacific route from Tokyo
to Seattle early in 1958, Jitsuro
Kobayashi of San Francisco, an
airline official, said in Seattle
Tuesday.
He said Japan Air Lines is con
sidering scheduling nonstop Ja
pan-Seattle service with long
range DC-7Cs.
The airline now operates four
transpacific flights a week, flying
from San Francisco to Tokyo via
Honolulu.
House Passes Bill to
Increase Top Income of
Alaska Commissioners
WASHINGTON UP*—1The House
passed and sent to the Senate
Monday a bill to increase the
maximum income of U.S. com
missioners in Alaska.
It would set at $12,500 the lim
it of fees received by commis
sioners which they could retain
as compensation each year. The
limit now is $7,500.
The House also passed and sent
to the Senate a measure to in
crease the term of office of dis
trict judges in Alaska from four
to eight years.
WASHINGTON, OPt—Congress
agreed Monday that the Baranof
Castle site in Sitka—where Alas
ka was transferred from Russia
to the United States in 1867—
should become a historical park.
The House passed and sent to
•the White Honse a measure pro
viding that a 1.3 acre site be
transferred from the Agriculture
Department to the territory for
historical purposes.
The sport of bowling originated
as a religious ceremony in cathe
dral cloisters, where, if a parish
ioner bowled over his pin, he
was considered to be leading a
clean life.
Russia Promises
E. Germany More
Trade and Aid
MOSCOW, UFi—The Soviet gov
ernment has promised Communist
East Germany more trade and
aid. The Russians also agreed to
give the Red zone of Germany an
atomic power station and halve
the yearly bill for support of So
viet occupation troops.
The new economic agreement,
signed after only two days of fi
nal negotiation, in effect ties the
East German economy still closer
to Moscow.
(The new aid also appeared de
signed to meet widespread East
German grumbling which has
aroused Red fears of a workers’
uprising similar to that in Poznan,
Poland, June 28. A Red news
agency said Russia would ship
several billion marks worth of ad
ditional goods, making possible
a boost in living standards.)
The Soviet and East German
delegations toasted their work at
a Kremlin banquet at which Com
munist Party Boss Khrushchev
ridiculed western democracy as a
sham. The picked audience
laughed heartily.
Ted Williams Hits
400th Home Run
BOSTON, —"It was a long
time in coming.”
Thus did Boston Red Sox slug
ger Ted Williams characterize the
430-toot blast last night which
made him the fifth player in ma
jor league history to hit 400 home
runs.
Williams did not outwardly ap
pear happy about reaching his
personal goal. Maybe it was relief
more than anything.
Ted, the 37-year-old veteran
who lost some of his most produc
tive years due to two service
hitches, smashed Tom Gorman’s
first pitch in the sixth inning 15
rows into the right field bleachers
over the visitor’s bullpen in Bos
ton’s 1-0 decision over Kansas
City. The Sox had captured the
opener 10-0 on Tom Brewer’s
four hitter.
Williams still remained well be
hind his four predecessors in the
historic achievement: Babe Ruth
clubbed 714 homers in his major
league career, Jimmy Foxx 534,
Mel Ott 511, and Lou Gehrig 493.
Rumor Says Prince
Of Monaco Has Given
Grace Kelly the Heir
PARIS, Itf)—Prince Rainier III
of Monaco, commenting on fiesn
reports that Princess Grace is ex
pecting a baby, said yesterday:
“When there is something to an
nounce I will make it myself in
the Palace of Monaco.”
The Prince’s prepared state
ment came following publication
on news dispatches from Rome
quoting the Prince’s Roman Cath
olic chaplain, the Rev. Francis
Tucker, as indicating an heir was
on the way.
“I see no reason to deny infor
mation which will anyway be
made official soon,” Tucker was
said to have told newsmen.
