Pres. Expresses
Nation’s Regrets
| Of Pope’s Passing
<Bu The AssocUited Pratt)
“His was a full life of devotion
to God and service to his fellow
man.”
' These words by President Eis
enhower summed up tributes to
the late Pope Pius XII by Amer
ican leaders in government, re
ligion and other fields.
News of the Pontiff’s death
on Wednesday brought an out
! pouring of statements expressing
sorrow and lauding the late Pope
as a “foe of tyranny ... a man
of profound vision . . . one of the
foremost champions of human
dignity, freedom aryl peace.”
Joining Roman Catholics in
mourning the Pope’s death were
spokesmen for Protestant and
Jewish groups.
Vice President Nixon said he
had never met a leader in any
part of the world “who had a
keener and broader understand
ing of the great issues o{ our time
than he had.” Nixon added that
“The wisdom of his counsel will
guide statesmen for years to
come.”
Smooch Lines
Without Contagion
At Kansas State
MANHATTAN, Kansas., M —
Only an epidemic or the individr
ual involved can stop the smooch
lines at Kansas State College,
thanks to a committee of Asso
dated Women Students.
K-State’s traditional practice
of congratulating girls- announc
. ing engagements or pinnings with
a kiss was ordered stopped this
year by Margaret Lahey,- dean
of women. Bad health practice,
she said. . ■
But the committee won a re
versal of the ruling. The new
policy, as set forth in the student
newspaper:
“Smooch lines may occur dur
ing times of good health at the
discretion of the individual pres
ent, if conducted in a way to pre
vent the spread of infectious
diseases.” - ... .

Red Bombardment
NANSAN, Quemoy, Uft — Hun
dreds of civilians in this Chinese
Nationalist village scarcely five
miles from Communist territory
slept Wednesday night in water
logged holes in the ground.
They plan to do the same again
tonight despite the Communists’
cease fire in the Formosa Strait.
The islanders fear the Reds
may resume shelling at any
time, and few have homes left
after the 44-day bombardment of
Quemoy which ended at midnight
Sunday.
The situation remained quiet
although the Nationalist defense
ministry said the Communists
were strengthening their fortifi
cations in the Quemoy area.

BLM Moves To Add Nine Additional
Tracts To Alaska Recreation Areas
WASHINGTON, UFl — The Bur
eau of Land Mnagement is mov
ing to add nine more Alaskan
tracts to its chain of public rec
reation areas in the soon-to^be
49th State.
Formal notice of its plans to set
the areas aside for recreation use
was published Wednesday in the
Federal Register. Interested par
ties have 60 days in which to file
comments or protests with the
Bureau’s Anchorage office.
The tracts, ranging from 5 to
40 acres in size, were selected
under a five-year program begun
in 1956 for the development of
roadside recreational areas. As of
June 30, work had been done on
47 sites. The ultimate goal is 106.
Televisionitis Reduces
16-Year-Old British Boy
To Zombie State
LONDON, UFl — A 16-year-old
boy who has done nothing but
watch television for nearly eight
months has ben “reduced to the
state of a zombie,” his father
says.
Television has given the. boy a
sickness requiring medical treat
ment, the father told a juvenile
court Tuesday.
The father brought the boy to
court as being beyond /control. He
said the boy had refused medi
cal treatment.
His son left school in February,
he said, adding:
“It has got to the stage where
he will not talk to me. And when
his mother goes out shopping he
locks the doors so she cannot get
back in.”
The court ordered the boy to
see a doctor, and adjourned the
case for two weeks.
FIVE KOREANS KILLED
ON U. S. ARMY. RANGE
SEOUL, Korea, UFT — Five
Koreans entered an off-limits
American artillery area near
Seoul and were killed- by an exr
plosion, the U. S. Army announced
today. The Army said one of them
apparently triggered a live ar
tillery shell.
__r l
Financed by a $100,000 yearly
appropriation, development work
is limited largely to the installa
tion of sanitation facilities, and
the provision of water and camp
ing sites.
Purpose of the program in part
is to provide recreational areas
where picnickers and campers
will concentrate, thereby easing
the problems of roadside clutter
and fire protection. Areas selected
for inclusion for the most part
are those in which the public has
tended to gather for recreational
purposes.
A Bureau spokesman said it is
planned eventually to turn the
areas over to the new State for
maintenance and inclusion in. its
recreational system.
The nine areas now in the pro
cess of being set aside:
Grizzly Lake, southeast shore,
25 acres; Crosswind Lake, north
ern outlet, 5 acres; Crosswind
Lake, northeast side near Small
Beaver Dam, 5 acres; Crosswind
Lake, eastern peninsula, 30 acres;
Cobb Lake, northwest Smaller
Jack Lake, between ■ north shore
and Nabesna Road, 15 acres; Ta->
nada Lake, east side, 5 acres; Ta
nada Lake, along east side Ta
nada Creek, 40 acres.
