Whoops! Whooping Crane’s
Big Feet Mashes Eggs
NEW ORLEANS, UP) — The big
feet of the whooping crane may
be one reason why they are nearly
exfinct.
Josephine and Crip, the famed
whooper couple at Audubon Park
Zoo here, have trampled both eggs
in their recent clutch.
Zoo attendants found the last
of the eggs broken Monday when
papa crip got up after his sitting
session. The other egg was
trampled Saturday soon after the
clutch was completed by Jose
phine.
The brace of whoopers are
among six in captivity and some
three score known to exist. They
are the first to reproduce in cap
tivity. Two chicks hatched from
their eggs two years ago, and one
last year, are thriving.

West Has Doubts For
Agreement With Russia
GENEVA, UP> — The United
States and Britain told Russia to
day that yesterday’s speech by
Soviet Premier Nikita Khrush
chev raised the gravest doubts
whether agreement could ever be
reached to ban nuclear weapon
tests.
Khrushchev told a Moscow au
dience Tuesday Western propo
sals for veto-free international
control and inspection are unac
ceptable to Russia because they
constitute “a thorough military re
connaissance of the entire terri
tory of our people.” The West
considers such control an indis
pensable element of a test ban.
The conference has been at a
virtual standstill over this issue
for months.

Legislature Deluged With
Demands To Retain
Education Commissioner
JUNEAU, (.41 — The demand of
south central district Democratic
committee members that Educa
tion Commissioner Don Dafoe be
dismissed has brought a deluge of
letters and telegrams to the law
makers.
The gist of the messages was:
Retain Dafoe as commissioner.
Preserve a non-partisan Board of
Education.
Upwards of 25 had been re
ceived Wedn'esday by each sen
ator; a score were delivered to
House Speaker Warren Taylor, and
a dozen or more went to each
member of the House.
Dafoe said he would not “dig
nify” the resolution by comment
ing on it.
He has supported retention of
a commission form in the pro
posed reorganization of Alaska’s
government. John Butrovich, of
Fairbanks, Republican candidate
for Governor last fall, also cham
pioned that idea and this appears
to have underlain the south cen
tral district Democrats’ demand
last Sunday.
LITTLE GIRL NEEDS CHEER
(From a letter recently received)
A little girl, Diane Boul, 12
years old, is the victim of Leuke
mia. Until February 7 she liked
to ride and* play outside, but her
strength is fast ebbing and she is
now confined to bed.
Diane doesn’t know why she is
tired and getting weaker.
She loves to receive letters and
pretty cards of all kinds. That is
why I am writing you. She loves
Eskimos and dogs that pull sleds.
If you would like to help her
smile a little longer, send her
cards to Box 403. Pacoima, Cali
fornia. Her home is 11310 Glen
oaks Blvd., Pacoima, in case any
one wishes to visit her.

It was* the third time in three
years flames have leveled Smith’s

defect.
