Shower of Tinfoil
Is Philadelphia Mystery
. PHILADELPHIA, W—If you
like your tinfoil shredded, show
ery, and straight from the sky,
come to suburban Philadelphia.
That is where the strange ar
rival of the shiny metal—appar
ently from the sky—has aroused
both curiosity and complaint.
There has been no explanation
and no one yet to blame.
Residents along Philadelphia’s
main line, especially in the Penn
Valley area, say the tinfoil has
been falling in strips four inches
long.

Queen Elizabeth Will
Be Flown to America
In U.S.-Made Airliner
LONDON, UP)—Queen Elizabeth
II will have to use a U.S.-made
airliner for her trip to the United
States and Canada next month.
Britain’s new turbojet liner will
not be ready in time.
Indignant London newspapers
gave that word to the British
public yesterday. They reported
any lingering hope the Queen
might be able to fly in Britain’s
own new Britannia 312 had been
dashed by an announcement from
the British Overseas Airways
Corporation (BOAC).
A BOAC spokesman said the
first 312 was delivered yesterday,
six months behind schedule. This
leaves so little time for necessary
pioneering commercial flights
there is no longer any thought of
using the plane for the Queen’s
transatlantic flight.
Instead, the British monarch
will tnavel by Boeing Stratocruis
er or Douglas DC-7C, the planes
BOAC is using for its service to
America.

Blast Wrecks
$500,000 School
At Nashville
{By The Associated Press)
A dynamite blast wrecked a
newly integrated half-million
dollar grammar school at Nash
ville, Tenn., shortly after mid
night yesterday. At Birmingham,
Ala., where racial violence flamed
Monday, 2,400 white pupils were
evacuated from the high school
because of a bombing threat.
Nashville police took five men
into custody. Three were charged
with unlawful possession of arms
and the other two with vagrancy.
The Nashville explosion came
about 17 hours after Negro chil
dren attended their first classes
with whites at the Hattie Cotton
Grammar School.
The clearing of Birmingham’s
Phillips High School came' dra
matically after police and school
officials received anonymous'tele
phone calls that a bomb had been
placed in the school and would go
off at 9:59 a.m.
Fire bells rang at the school and
the students marched out. The
children got a bang out of the
march to a nearby park, many of
j them laughing and smilng. There
| was no blast.
At Birmingham, Ala., where a
j Negro integration leader and his
12-year-old daughter were in
jured in an attack by white men
Monday, police Tuesday broke up
a noisy segregation demonstra
tion. A shouting crowd of 75 to
100 white pupils filed to go into
Woodlawn High School when the
classes began. Police threatened
to turn fire hoses on the students
and dispersed them.
MAINE ABANDONS
EARLY ELECTIONS
PORTLAND, Maine, UP—Maine
has abandoned its first-in-the-na
tion September election date to
join the 47 states that ballot in
November.
The decision ending a tradition
137 years old was taken in a spe
cial referendum election Monday.
About one-fifth of the 500,000
registered voters participated.
The change will be effective in
1960.
And, starting in 1958, Maine
governors will serve four-year
terms with a limit of two elected
terms. Now, the term is two years
and there is no limitation. How
ever, no governor has ever served
more than two terms.
