Blind Woman Saves
Daughter in Home Fire
VASHON, Wash. OP!—Awakened
by smoke Tuesday night, Joan
Shaffer, 35, made her way from
her bed in her small house west
of here to that of her daughter,
5-year-old Laura, in another room.
Mrs. Shaffer wrapped Laura in
a blanket, carried her outside,
placed her on the ground, then re
turned to the house to summon
firemen. But the telephone was
dead.
Again she made her way
through the smoke to the cut
side, gathered Laura in her arms
and carried her to a neighbor’s
home.
Firemen who answered her tele
phone call quickly put out the
fire, and discovered:
Mrs. Shaffer is blind.

Trucked Mail to
I Alaska Will Cost
ft.9 Cents Per Lb.
A year’s experiment on trucking
mail over the Alaska Highway
between Seattle and Fairbanks
four times a week was announced
recently by the Post Office De
partment.
The service, which will start
on or about September 1, is pared
down from the plan announced
earlier this year by Postmaster
General Day to serve both An
chorage and Fairbanks daily with
the trucking service.
Post Office Department offi
cials informed the Alaska con
gresional delegation that the ex
periment should prove whether
the service is practicable for ex
pansion.
Garrison Fast Freight, a di
vision of Consolidated Freight
ways, Inc., was the low bidder at
8.9 cents a pound. It is expected
that approximately 4r2 million
pounds, or 2,250 tons, of all but
first class mail will move be
tween Seattle and Fairbanks in
the 12-month period. First class
mail will continue to be airlifted
on a space-available basis. Trucks
will leave Seattle Tuesdays,
Thursdays, Fridays and Satur
days at 12:01 a. m., making an es
timated 96-hour run to Fairbanks,
with return trips to Seattle de
parting about 30 minutes after the
arrival of the inbound trips from
Seattle.
Post Office Department offi
cials advised Sen. Gruening, Sen.
Bartlett and Rep. Rivers that
meetings will be held with offi
cials of the Seattle Region Office
to determine whether mail des
tined for such places as Nome,
Barrow and Bethel will be re
routed via Fairbanks rather than
via Anchorage.
"NO FISHING" . . .
MIAMI, Fla. (jP) — Ray Moore’s
suburban pool has everything for
the wellbeing of its exotic gold
fish except a “no fishing” sign.
Moore says he didn’t realize one
was needed — until he surprised
a 14-year-old boy sizing up the
pool.
“I came here to fish,” the lad
explained. “My friends said they
got 20 nice ones from your pool.”
Moore shooed the boy away and
began counting his recent losses:
72 large fantail goldfish, six to
eight inches long.
COSTLY KISS . . .
ROVIGO, Italy 0P>— Gino Ber
gantin and Giovannina Mancin

them with behaving obscenely in
a public place.

not far from this north Italian
town, found Gino, 21, and Gio
vannina, 20, guilty Monday. Each
was fined 10,000 lire—$16
They got off light. A month ago
a Rome court sentenced two young
lovers to two months in jail for
a goodby kiss at a streetcar stop.

Justice Clark Says
Businessmen Must
Clean House on Violations
ST. LOUIS, Mo. GP — Associate
Justice Tom C. Clark of the U. S.
Supreme Court said yesterday '
American business must clean its
house of hardcore anti-trust vio
lations or more businessmen may
find themselves in jail.
“The choice is clear and so is
the duty of management and the
antitrust bar,” he said in a speech
prepared for the American Bar
Assn.
Clark said the jailing this year
of top-level businessmen for price
fixing marked the beginning of
a new era in government enforce- i
ment of antitrust measures.
Until then, some business law
yers had concluded Clark said,
“that no one would sentence a
reputable businessman to jail
with common crooks.”
“The Attorney General thought ;
that such activity resulted from
the existing policy as to sentenc
ing.” Instead of jail sentences
only fines were usually imposed, 1
after which business went on as
usual, he said. “Nor was the busi
nessman thought to have done j
anything wrong, just followed the
accepted practices.”
Neither the National Associa
tion of Manufacturers nor the
Chamber of Commerce, Clark
said, ever reprimanded an indict
ed member company.
Population Center
Located on Farm
Field in Southern Illinois
WASHINGTON GP — The coun
try’s population center has been
officially located in a field on the
farm of Fred Kieiboeker about a
mile south-southwest of Shattuc,
111., a rural community.
The point was located by the
Coast Geodetic Survey, using
calculations made of last year’s
national head count.
The Kleibroker farm is about
6Vz miles northwest of Centralia,
111.
The Census Bureau defines the
population renter as “that point
upon which the United States
could balance, if it were a rigid
plain, without weight and the
population were distributed there
on with each individual being
assumed ao have equal weight.”
“It has no scientific value,” a
bureau spokesman said. “It merely
symbolizes the westward move
ment of the population.”
Since the first census in 1790
the population center has moved
westward 701 miles from its ori
ginal point 23 miles east of Bal
timore.
The geographical center of the
United States is in Butte County,
S. D.
Soviet Workers
Bark Nikita's Firm
Stand on Berlin
MOSCOW UP> —'The Soviet
Union yesterday organized a show
of workers’ solidarity behind
Premier Khrushchev’s firm stand
on Berlin. Defense workers
gathered at meetings to pledge a
longer day at the plant if needed.
Khrushchev, who called for
East-West negotiations on Ger
many but stuck to his demand for
East control of the access routes
to Berlin, told the Soviet people
Monday night that no sacrifices
would be necessary to bolster the
nation’s military power.
But defense workers through
out the nation were summoned
to factory meetings immediately
after the speech. Communist
party activists in fiery speeches
called for a showing of support
ers raised their hands to approve
previously prepared resolutions on
a longer work day. The Com
munist party paper Pravda pub
lished a picture of one solemn
faced group with hands raised at
a Moscow defense plant.
Khrushchev said the Soviet
Union may have to move divisions
up to its Western borders and call
up reservists. But he told the
Russians that no extra appropri
ations would be necessary for the
arms buildup.
“The armaments which have
already been produced and are
being produced by our industry
will be sufficient,” he said. “We
shall not make the people shoul
der unnecessary, unjustified bur
dens.”
