Ogden Reid Named
U.S. Envoy to Israel
WASHINGTON, UP) — President
Eisenhower’s nomination of Og
den R. Reid as Ambassador to Is
rael and George M. Johnson as a
member of the Civil Rights Com
mission have been confirmed by
the Senate.
Both won approval Thursday
on voice votes, with little of the
opposition that had been forecast.
Reid, 33, formerly was presi
dent and editor of the New York
Herald Tribune. He had been rec
ommended for confirmation by a
10-4 vote of the Foreign Relations
Committee over the opposition
of the committee chairman. Sen.
J. William Fulbright (D-Ark).
Fulbright told the Senate Thurs- ;
day the nomination was “improv
ident and irresponsible,” and said
he didn’t know “why the Presi
dent should have selected Mr. Reid
for this extremely challenging,
highly sensitive job.”
Johnson, 58, is a Negro lawyer
and educator. He succees the la^e
J. Ernest Wilkins, also a Negro.
Johnson, whose home is at Berke
ley, Calif., was dean of the Howard
Law School here until last year.
He Dropped Down

with a load of things to be
dry cleaned and laundered so
that the inside of his home will

Freak Winged Cat Found i
In Wilds of West Virginia'
PINEVILLE, W. Va., (ffl — A
15-year-old boy has nabbed an
odd freak — a cat with a wing
like growth.
Douglas Shelton, high schgol
freshman at this southern West
Virginia community, said he was
in the woods the other day when
he rfbticed the animal treed by a
dog.
He shinnied up and captured the
cat, then took a good look at his
prize.
The female cat is 30 inches
long, has a bushy tail and attrac
tive white fur like a persian.
Each wing is about six inches
long. Each appears to be boneless,
but evidently cartilage gives them
their shape.
The wings are also a barometer
of the cat’s temper — she lifts
them when angered.
A local veterinarian said he has
never heard of such an animal.

SI Million Cut In
Fisli, Wildlife Fund
May he Restored
WASHINGTON, (tf> Senator
Bob Bartlett predicted Wednesday
that the Senate Appropriations
Committee would restore a mil
lion dollars which had been cut
from proposed Alaska fish and
wildlife funds.
The Interior Department appro
priations bill for the year begin
ning July 1 is before the Senate
committee. The House cut a mil
lion dollars from the item re
quested in the Interior Depart
ment’s proposed budget for Alas
ka fish and wildlife management.
Bartlett predicted also that
Alaska would get funds for a
$23,813,796 federal aid airport
program in the next four years,
with the federal government put
ting up 37 per cent of the total.
He expects Congress to ap
prove a House bill under which
Alaska as a state would finance
62Vf> per cent of the total airport
construction program.
A Senate bill would provide 25
per 'cent in federal funds and re
quire Alaska to put up the re
maining 75 per cent. This would
give Alaska a program costing a
total of 12 million dollars, Bart
lett said.
Adoption of the House formula
would put Alaska on an equal
footing with other states, he
added.
