dollar set a 24-year high when it

all-time high of $1.05%, reached

tributed the high premium to
steady demand for funds in the
U.S. capital markets by Canadian
industry. Financing floated her
must be changed into Canadian
currency before it can be used
north of the border. Resultant de
mand for Canadian dollars pushes
up its price in relation to the

Seaman Goes On j
Murderous*
Armed Mutiny
SAN FRANCISCO, UV—Naval
psychiatrists tried to determine
today what sent a normally mild
seaman on a murderous six-hour
armed mutiny yesterday aboard
ship.
One officer was killed and an
other seriously wounded. The
sudden burst of gunfire turned
the attack cargo transport Uvalde
into an armed camp.
Negro Seaman Jimmie L. Hen
derson said he killed because he
was convicted of stealing a $30
watch. Apparently without re
morse, the 21-year-old talked
freely to newsmen of his resent
ment, his planning and the kill
ing. Then he was taken under ;
guard to Oak Knoll Naval Hospi
tal in Oakland.
The bespectacled sailor slugged
a guard on the Uvalde at a Trea
sure Island dock, seized his auto
matic and killed Ens. Arthur L.
Morris, 26, of Stow, Ohio.
For eight months Henderson
had worked directly under Mor
ris, who was both the ship’s pay
master and legal officer.

Sprightly Foot Doctor
Fond of Cigars, Whiskey,
Dies at Age of 99
NEW YORK, OP)—Dr. Maurice
J. Lewis, 99, a sprightly physician
devoted to cigars, whiskey and
the human foot, died Monday at
his hotel apartment.
Lewis was founder and presi
dent of the New York College of
Podiatry. He was credited with
almost single - handedly raising
podiatry—the treatment of foot
ailments—to professional status.
Lewis had been confined to his
apartment after suffering a brok
en arm last November. But he
continued to run the affairs of
the college.
Only last year he explained
why he would not consider re
tirement.
“Who ever heard about anyone
retiring at 98?” he asked. “It’s
too late for that.”
Even in his later years, Lewis
continued his custom of staying
up late, attending the theater and
opera and playing poker with
friends into the small hours of
the morning.
He smoked 12 to 14 cigars a day
until a doctor recently talked him
into cutting down to eight. He
drank whiskey regularly.
He said he once had a corn—
in 1913.

Forces of TAC
‘Are Ready for
Any Emergency’
By VERN HAUGLAND
ST. LOUIS (JV-Gen. O. P. Wey
land says the forces of the Tacti
cal Air Command which he heads
“are ready for any emergency.”
Weyland told the annual meet
ing of the Aviation Writers Assn.
Monday that even while the Air
Force is awaiting a ballistic mis
sile capable of flying 5,000 miles,
“our tactical forces have the abil
ity to go that distance at this
very moment and deliver its
weapons with accuracy.”
Weyland said the Strategic Air
Command made Soviet Russia
realize she could not launch a
global war without expecting a
successful counterattack, and the
TAC similarly restrained the
Reds from starting small brush
fire wars.
He said the threat of Soviet ag
gression evertheless remains, with
the Reds showing “keen interest”
in the Middle East and other
areas.
“If there is any military ad
vantage for either nation at this
time, however, it is most certain
ly on the side of the United
States,” Weyland said.

New Planes Demonstrated
After McDonnell Aircraft Corp.
unveiled for the visiting writers
the new F-101B Voodoo fighter,
Weyland became the first person
outside the McDonnell ranks to
fly in it.
Robert C. Little, McDonnell’s
chief test pilot, flew the two-seat
version of the F-101A, with Wey
land in the radar observer’s seat,
and exceeded the speed of sound
while climbing.
McDonnell also gave the first
public demonstration of the XV-1
Convertiplane, which took off like
a helicopter—and then shifted to
a “pusher” propeller behind the
pilot for forward flight.
Also demonstrated for the first
time in public was the Sparrow
III missile, an air-to-air weapon
mounted on a McDonnell F2H-2
Demon Navy fighter.
At the end of the Revolution
ary War, Congress ordered the
disbandment of the entire army
except “25 privates to guard the
stores at Ft. Pitt and 55 to guard
the stores at West Point.”
