MILLTOWN FOR FIDO
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho, UR —
Billy Young had no way of know
ing the situation when a barking
dog came out to meet him as he
pedaled his bicycle past a home
here.
The dog bit the boy on his

Correction On Rescue of Plane
Larry Fagan of the U.S. Weath
er Bureau of Kotzebue sent in a
correction to our recent story on
the rescue of Bud Priest’s plane.
According to Fagan, Wallen
Thompson and Leo Schaeffer, of
the CAA of Kotzebue located
the “downed airplane and dis
tributed sandwiches to Priest and
his passengers and gave him
enough gas to get to his destina
tion.”

these pilots, as it is sometimes
difficult for anyone to piece to
gether a rescue when everyone

Search Under Way
For Pilot Lost
In N.E. Alaska
FAIRBANKS, UP! — Don Ivfer
son, co-pilot of a plane whose
wreckage was found Monday in
Northeastern Alaska, was killed
in the crash but an air search is
under way near the Yukon bor
der for the plane’s pilot, Frank
Novosel. Both men were from
Fairbanks.
The crash was in a mountain
pass 175 miles northeast of Fair
banks and 20 miles west of the
Yukon-Alaska border.
A U.S. Air Force para-medic
team was dropped to the wreck
age and found Iverson’s body.
A parachute hung in a nearby
tree and an attached note read:
“I will try to make Porcupine
River and then make Fort Yukon.
Co-pilot lost.”
Speculation was that Novosel
was headed on foot for the river,
15 miles south of the crash site.
U.S. Air Force planes scanned the
area yesterday without luck and
were to'continue today.
The converted U.S, Navy re
connaissance bomber, owned by
Aklavik Export-Import Company,
crashed Saturday night on a
400-mile flight to Fairbanks from
Inuvik, the new Aklavik town
site near the mouth of the Mac
kenzie River.

Bare Bosoms Banned
LAS VEGAS, Nev., UP) — There
will be no more bare bosoms in
the chorus line at the El Rancho
Vegas. But there is still cleavage
in the ranks of hotel owners.
Beldon Katleman, the hotel’s
principal owner, Monday capitu
lated to pressure from civic and
church leaders and ordered a five
girl chorus line into more modest
costumes. They’ve been danc
ing nude above the waist.
The trend toward nudity in
hotel shows started last October
when one hotel imported a bur
lesque production. Resort owners
immediately split on the issue and
the controversy spread through
out the community. Two major
hotels still feature dancing girls
naked from the waist up.
Katleman wired Las Vegas
clergymen Monday “It behooves
every person connected with en
tertainment to reconsider their
standards of show production . . .
perhaps our decision will start
the tide in another direction.”
SHADES OF WYATT EARP
DALLAS, UP) — Nobody was
whooping it up in the Neighbor
hood Bar Monday night.
Then a khaki-clad stranger
stepped through the door of the
tavern. “I’m here,” he shouted,
and made sure nobody overlooked
the announcement by riddling a
coin machine and a beer sign
with buckshot. *
No one was injured and the
stranger fled in an old-model
car, but it took a while for things
to get quiet again.

Blimp Proves
Itself For Arctic
Summer Work
SOUTH WEYMOUTH, Mass.,
UP—Capt. H. B. Van Gorder re
ports there is no question of the
ability of a blimp for supply line
work or research in the Arctic.
Just back from a nearly 8,000
mile round trip from South Wey
mouth Naval Air Station to a
point about 500 miles of the
North Pole, Capt. Van Gorder
told, a news conference the air
ship—christened the Snow Goose
by its crew—can work in the
Arctic in the comparatively warm
summer months better than any
other aircraft.
Capt. Van Gorder paid tribute
individually to the 18 members
of the crew and observers who
were aboard on the most nor
therly part of the flight from
Churchill, Manitoba to T-3, the
floating ice island 500 miles from
the pole which is a research base.
Capt. Van Gorder said the far
thest north the airship went was
to 79.8 degrees north latitude,
which is only 10.2 degrees from
the North Pole. They also passed
within 25 miles of the magnetic
pole. He said the weather was
exceptionally good and that visi
bility was excellent except for
fog patches over areas of open
water.
“It is a lot warmer in the Arc
tic at this time of year than
people think,” he said.
The temperature in the far
north ranged from a 35-degree
low up to 54 to 56 degrees dur
ing “the heat of the day,” he
said.
"Nudoscope" Too Suggestive
MEXICO CITY, UR — Mexico
City’s entertainment department
has banned use of the term
“nudoscope” in advertising the
movie “Enchanting Ladies.”
Original ads said: “First —
cinerama — panorama — cinema
scope —and now—nudoscope.”
The department said the term
was too suggestive. The cast in
cludes several noted flesh artists.
Battalion Of
U.S. Marines
Leave Lebanon
BEIRUT, (*> — The United
States is withdrawing one battal
ion of Marines from Lebanon at
once.
Sweating, leathernecks of the
2nd Battalion of the 2nd Divi
sion began moving their heavy
equipment to the beach shortly
after the announcement Tuesday.
They began embarking early
Wednesday morning.
Saeb Salam, rebel leader in
Beirut, said he welcomed “this
symbolic step” but emphasized it
fell short of rebel demands for a
complete withdrawal.
The 2nd Battalion was the first
unit to land July 15 at the re
quest of President Camille Cha
moun, who feared a pro-Nasser
uprising similar to the one that
overthrew the government of
Iraq July 14.
It was understood the battalion
will remain with the U.S. 6th
! Fleet, restoring its amphibious
striking power in the Mediterran
ean.
Adm. James L. Holloway, com
mander of the 15,000 U.S. Mar
ines and troops in Lebanon, an
nounced the withdrawal. He in
dicated this was the beginning of
the pullout of U.S. forces.
(Diplomatic officials in Wash
ington said the battalion is the
only unit scheduled for with
drawal under present plans.)
