CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. UP)—
The Army has taken another big
step toward making its Jupiter
intermediate-range ballistic mis
sile an operational war weapon.
The 10th Jupiter blasted 1,500
miles across the Atlantic last

provide the big push for the

Spiritual Truths

Nome Gospel Home
An 84-year-old man, by the
name of George E. Foulkes, living
in Hartford, Michigan, says he
wants to give away a 160-acre
farm.
He said his gift was bom of an
old man’s need as well as his de
sire to do one good deed before
he goes.
He doesn’t care where the man
comes from, nor what his nation
ality. He doesn’t care what de
nomination he belongs to, though
he does want him to belong to
some chaurch.
“And the poorer he is the bet
ter. I’d like him. I was poor once
myself. If he is a good man, but
ill, I will nurse him like my own
child,” he said.
“There is no better land on
earth than the land that farm is
on, Foulkes said.
He also said he didnt think he
would be able to get the farm
deal closed until after the year’s
crops are taken care of. He said
he would interview the best pros
pects himself, probably this
winter.
“Ill give the man who comes
with me all the machinery and
backing he needs to get in his
wheat, barley, oats, and flax.”
“It’s really nothing extraordin
ary. The land is here. All I want
is a good man,” he concluded.
“What a grand gift!” you say,
“for some man and his wife.”
Yes. it is that; but as Mr. Foulkes
says, it is not extraordinary.
For an extraordinary gift offer,
consider this: “For the wages of
sin is death; but the gift of God
is eternal life through Jesus
hrist our Lord.” (Romans 6:23).
The farm will be for someone’s
lifetime; but God’s free gift is
for both time and eternity. Who
soever will may accept it. Have
you accepted it?

Union Head
Called Cop-Hater
WASHINGTON. WP) — A St.
Louis police detective today* de
scribed Teamster Vice President
: Harold Gibbons as a cop-hating
associate of underworld charac
ters whose labor activities have
been filled with violence.
“Practically every strike he
has been involved in has had oc
casions of violence and destruc
tion of property,” Detective Capt.
Thomas L. Moran told the Sen
ate Rackets Investigating Com
mittee.
Moran said Gibbons tells St.
Louis Teamsters to regard poliee
as strikebreakers on the jside of
management.
Moran testified that Gibbons
“seems to have more than a talk
ing acquaintance with some of the
leading underworld figures.”
He specifically mentioned John
Vitale, reputed head of the Ital
ian crime syndicate in St. Louis,
and Joe Costello who has been
described as the leading fence or
dealer in stolen property in St.
Louis.
Moran, head of the St. Louis
police bomb and arson squad, tes
tified as the committee turned to
Gibbons in its continuing probe of
the Teamsters and their presi-v
dent, James R. Hof fa.
Before Moran testified, the
committee charged that the offi
cials of Teamster Local 688 lit
erally sold the local secretly" to
Gibbons.
But Lawrence J. Camie, the
local’s former president, insisted
that $36,000 he received for step
ping out as president when Gib
bons took over in 1949, was sev
erance pay. No sale was involved,
he swore.
“I didn’t sell that union and I
couldn’t sell it if I wanted to,”
Camie said.
He acknowledged that the es
crow agreement under which he
drew $36,000 in three $12,000 an
nual installments made no men
tion of severance pay.
Camie testified he and other
local officers and directors were
offered a choice of remaining on
the job after Gibbons took over,
or quitting and collecting sever
ance pay equal to the salaries
they would have drawn for the
remaining three years of their
tej-ms.
The committees chairman, Sen I
John L. McClellan (D-Ark.), pro
duced figures subpoenaed from
the union which showed, he said,
that the cost of getting the offi
cers out was $78,410. The local,
he said, didn’t even have enough
money in its treasury to pay
Camie’s $36,000 share. McClellan
said the rest was borrowed.
U. S. In Joint
Formosa Air
Maneuvers
TAIPEI, Formosa IS*) — Nation
alist and U. S. planes conducted
joint air defense exercises today
over the goast of Formosa as Reds
pound the Nationalist-held is
lands just off the coast of main
land China.
The announcement by the U.S.
Formosan command gave no de
tails of the joint air maneuvers.
But it obviously was designed to i
point up American backing for
the Nationalists in hopes it
would deter the Red Chinese
from trying an invasion of the
offshore islands.
As the Communist artillery at
tack on the Quemoy Island
group pounded through its sixth
day, Nationalist intelligence
sources reported Red land and
sea movements they interpreted
as the prelude. to an invasion
attempt.
A Defense Ministry spokesman
said the Reds battered Quemoy
with more than 16,000 shells in
the 19 hours before dawn and
that sporadic shelling continued
through the daylight hours.

Dawson Boys
6Wlioop It Up’
DAWSON, Yukon Terr. UPi —
A bunch of the boys whooped it
up at the Malemute Saloon the
other night.
Next door noisy crowds sat in
on hands of blackjack and chuck
aluck. The click of poker chips
mixed with the background whir
of a roulette wheel.
Honky tonks sold coffee for
$1.50 and hot dogs for $2.50 —
“Klondike money.” Strong Yukon
rum flowed liberally.
This was the 60th anniversary
of the 1893 Klondike Gold Rush
that centered near this northwest
Yukon community, 50 miles east
of Alaska. The strike that lured
droves of prospectors, miners and
camp followers to the area was
made less thgn 10 miles away on
Bonanza Creek.
Several thousand persons cele
brated the anniversary, but it was
a far cry from 1898, when Noth
west Mounted Police recorded
more than 6,000 boats carrying
28,000 passengers down the Yu
kon River to Dawson.
Among those gold-seekers were
Alex Adams, now 82, and Harry
Leamon, 81, who marched in this
year’s parade. They are members
of the Yukon Oder of Pioneers
which sponsored the event with
the Klondike Tourist Assn.
Adams now works as guide and
commentator for tourists in the
old Nugget dance hall where he
once performed as a dancer. Lea
;mon gets a small income from
his mine shaft by allowing tour
ists to pah for gold there.
Most Dawson citizens turned
out in period costumes for the
celebration and bought great
wads of “Klondike money” to
scatter in traditional sourdough
style at gaming tables and lunch
counters.
Yukon Commissioner Fred Col
lins, Mayor Mike Comadina and
J. H. McCausland, president of
the Pioneers, spoke before the pa
rade. The march was led by a
group of 66 pioneers, 20 of whom
had been in the actual rush for
gold.
Everyone took time out from
the fun to admire a 57-year-old
pure gold miniature of a placer
mining operation. Loaned for the
celebration by E. L. Harvey of
Calgary, the miniature included
a 4-inch-square mine bucket
filled with tiny nuggets. Valued
at $800, it was made in Dawson
for William Ogilvie, first gover
nor of the Yukon, in 1898-1901.
