^ast German Girls
On “Love Strike”
Against Liquor?
BERLIN, UP) — East German
girls have gone on a “love strike”
to keep their boy friends from
dripking.
Hans has been given the choice
of Gretel or the bottle.
Female members of the Soviet
zone Communist Youth Organ
ization have vowed to become
German-styled Carrie Nations to
help the Kremlin’s anti-alcohol
campaign. But while America’s
Carrie Nation only broke up sa
loons in her temperance drive,
the East German girls threaten
to break up romances.
The girls went into action be
cause few East Europeans heeded
Communist orders to sober up.
East Europeans are trying to
drown their discontent in large
amounts of vodka, schnapps and
beer, apparently because Com
munism is driving them to drink.
As a result, drunkenness has
become a major problem in East
Germany, the Soviet Union, Po
land and other Soviet bloc na
tions.

Johnson Urges Quick
Senate Action On Ike’s
Reciprocal Trade Bill
WASHINGTON, UPI — Sen.
Lyndon Johnson voiced “whole
hearted support” for President
Eisenhower’s House-passed recip
rocal trade agreements program.
The Democratic majority lead
er told the Senate he hoped it
will pass “this very important”
measure “without crippling
amendments” at the earliest pos
sible time consistent with ade-1
quate Hearings.
He spoke as the administration
backed bill hit a Republican
leadership snag.
In the face of a lop-sided 317-98
House vote Wednesday to con
tinue Presidential control over •
tariffs for five years, Sen. Wil
liam F. Knowland (R-Calif’ an- j
nounced he will back a move to!
reduce the extension to three
years.
Knowland, the Senate Republi
can leader, said he believes the
Senate eventually will pass a
measure “generally satisfactory”
to the administration.
Johnson said he will ask the
Finance Committee to start hear
ings on the .earliest possible day
and meet morning and afternoon
to expedite action.

I Dog Banned From
Free Entry To
London Cinema
LONDON, [ffi — A dog was
barred today from going to the
i movies without a ticket.
The dog, a hefty boxer named
Mugsy, belongs to Charles Wat
ney of suburban Hampstead.
The uherettte at a local cinema
found a shadowy figure sitting
in an aisle seat. Feeling sure
she had not collected a ticket for
that seat, she tapped the figure
on the shoulder. It barked.
The usherette at a local cinema
shrieked for the manager, Eric
i Edwards. He detrmined that the
figure was a dog, found an iden
tity tag on the collar, and called
up Mugsy’s owner. Said Ed
wards:
“We simply can’t have the
dog taking up a seat when we’ve
got a queue of customers waiting
outside.
Watney, full of apologies, came
and collected Mugsy.
“ He loves the theater,” said
Watney. “Sneaked into the bal
let the other week to see Les
Sylphides.”

Crashes Stolen
Bomber in Britain
HUNTINGTON, England, UP)
— A U. S. Air Force mechanic
stole a bomber plane early this
morning and zoomed' off alone on
a mystery flight. He crashed to
his death a few miles away in
the kind of mishap that gives
the British the jitters.
Left-wing leaders here insist
the presence of American bomb
ers armed with nuclear weapons
adds to the island’s dangers—
that someone might go berserk
or accidentally drop one of the
atomic bombs on Britain.
The plane that crashed this
morning carried no bomb of any
sort. A hurried announcement
from the headquarters of the
3rd U. S. Air Force assured
Britons the plane was not com
bat-ready.
Just what prompted the runa
way flight was not known. The
Air Force said the plane was
piloted by an airman second class
who was a mechanic and had no
instruction in flying.
The plane sped off the run
way at Alconbury shortly af
ter midnight. It gained altitude,
banked to the right and crashed
almost immediately into a rail
way line.
The runaway crash came only
10 minutes after another accident
involving another U. S. Air Force
plane from Alconbury—a collision
in flight between an American
jet trainer and a RAF Canberra
bomber. Two Americans and
two Britons died in that crash.
The U. S. Air Force announce
ment said there was no relation
between the two crashes.
The 1st Marine Battalion land
ed in Cuba in June 1898, becom
ing the first U. S. unit to land
during the Spanish-American
War. Shortly after, they fought
the first land battle in that war
at Cuzco, near Guantanamo Bay.

Device At Kodiak Tells
When Mail Arrives
Kodiak, (£> — The .Kodiak Pos
tal Service got a light touch this
week in a manner not covered by
any postal manual, but if it
were it might read like this:
No light,
' No flight.
When green,
He’s Ben.
When red,
He’s Abed.
That’s because lights were in
stalled this week on poles located
across the side street from the
post office. They can be seen the
full length of Main Street and to
the Russian Church.
When the air mail arrives at
this North Pacific Island, a green
light goes on. When it has been
distributed to the proper post
boxes, the red light beams and
residents can head for the post
office.
If the mail plane cancels or is
late—no lights, no mail, no trek.
The installation was done with
voluntary labor of Kodiak res
idents—at no cost to the govern
ment.
