L. A. Police Are
Skeptical of Story
Panther on Loose
LOS ANGELES, UP)—As the po
lice department’s panther division
continued to search yesterday for
a big black panther supposedly
loose in the city, Chief Wiiliam
Parker expressed doubt in the en
tire cat tale.
Life has been made miserable
for black cats and dogs since the
spread of the story. Hundreds of
pets have been investigated within
an inch of their one to nine lives
before nervous citizens were satis
fied they were not panthers.
Parker’s statement came after
he had closely questioned the man
who originally reported that a
140-pound cat was loose in Los
Angeles.
The men who first reported the
animals loose is Wayne Roberts,
who with his father, Sky Roberts,
owns a small circus. Roberts said
the animals escaped from the cage
on a truck somewhere between
here and the Arizona border.
He explained that because a
couple of other animals—a kinka
jou and a chimpanzee—also had
escaped and were found in a cer
tain section of Los Angeles, he
believed the panther must have
escaped there too.
This news caused mothers to
take their youngsters to- and from
school and keep them indoors
afterwards. Hundreds of persons
reported sighting the beast. Each
report was investigated. No pan
ther.
Police grew more and more
skeptical. Their skepticism was
not lessened, said Police Inspector
Hugh Farnum, by Roberts offer
ing a $5,000 reward foT the pan
ther—dead or alive.

University Consents Make
H. Hess Hall Available
As Tourist Summer Hotel
COLLEGE, Alaska — As a re
sult of pressing requests from var
ious tourist agencies, the Univer
sity of Alaska has consented to
make Harriet Hess Hall available
as a tourist summer hotel during
the coming tourist season.
“The University is not anxious
to be in the hotel business,” Dr.
Ernest N. Patty, president of the
University, explained. ‘‘But after
conferring with the Tourist Com
mittee of the Fairbanks Chamber
of Commerce and representatives
of Fairbanks hotels, these groups j
decided this move is necessary to
accommodate the increased num
ber of tourists already booked for
interior Alaska trips.”
Dr. Patty said tourist agencies
report they have more confirmed
bookings at the present time than
all tourists who visited Fairbanks
last summer.

Hundreds of Police Patrol
New York Waterfront To
Halt Srike Violence
NEW YORK, UPt— Hundreds of
extra police patrolled New York’s
vast waterfront amid crackling
tension Friday as Mayor Robert
F. Wagner sought to halt strike
violence.
Fist fights brought out again at
a pier on the Brooklyn dockfront,
scene of previous clashes between
striking and non - striking long
shoremen.
However, no' one was hurt and
there were no afrests.
Despite the mayor’s pledge to
protect all dock men who want to
work, there was activity today at
only a handful of the big port’s
piers.
The outlaw strike by members
of the International Longshore
men’s Assn., now in its 15th day,
has shut down a major part of
the docks on the New York and
New Jersey waterfront.
Wagner called out extra police
chiefly to combaf what he called
“goon squads” of strikers roving
the waterfront and causing
trouble. He declared this was
going to- be halted.
Former Councilite Writes
To Friends From Arabia
Gordon Mathews, former Alas
kan who worked in the Council
area, writes to his friends Mr.
and Mrs. Clyde Glass, from Arabia
where he is now working on the
Arabian oil line for an American
company, that he will be glad to
return to the U.S.A.
He said that Americans do not
realize how lenient American law
is toward crime until they live in
a place like Saudi Arabia.
Thieves are punished for their
first offense by having a hand cut
off; second offense a foot is cut
off. Other crimes are punishable
by beatings over the kidneys with
palm branches. When the two sol
diers who are adminstering the
beating tire, two more are always
ready to take their place, he said.
This punishment is administered
in a public square on pay day.
Many crimes are punishable by
decapitation in the same public
place, Mathews said.
TRANSPORT SPENDS 6V2
YEARS IN AIR IN 15 YEARS
In a 15-year period, a typical
twin - engined American transport
plane spent a total of 6I/2 years in
actual flight.
Operated by a maior U.S. air
line during the 15 years, the plane
carried 213,000 passengers and
flew an average of IOV2 hours
each day of the year.
The flying workhorse logged a
total of 8,517,300 miles—this single
plane flying a distance equal to
more than a round - trip to the
moon each year it was in service.
At 40 miles an hour a car trav
els 58 feet a second.

O’Eisenliower
Honorary Member
Sons of St. Patrick
WASHINGTON, UP) — It was a
great night for the “O’Eisenhow
ers” what with the President join
ing up with the Friendly Sons of
St. Patrick and having a bit of
blarney for the ladies.
The Washington chapter of the
200-year-old Society of Friendly
Sons observed St. Patrick’s Day
Wednesday night with a stag din
ner at which Eisenhower became
an honorary member.
And the President — who is
mostly German by descent and
not Irish at all—flashed a broad
gin and remarked:
“All this is zany. But what
could be more zany than to take
into the Friendly Sons of St. Pat
rick a man by the man of Eisen
hower?”
The President told a tall tale,
too, a legend he called it, about
a.whale which took a fly St. Pat
rick had given a fisherman and
caused Ireland’s River Shannon
to overflow.
“There’s no point of this story
whatever,” Eisenhower grinned.
“But that’s the Irish of it, isn’t
it?”
His audience of Irishmen roared
with laughter at that, and did
again when—without any mention
at all of an Irishman named Sen.
McCarthy, who wasn’t there—he
said:
“This word ‘friendly’—this wor
ies me. Shouldn’t all of St. Pat
rick’s sons be friendly?”
