Top Asronauts and Wives
Relax In New York City
After Strenuous Training
NEW YORK, UP) — The nation’s
seven astronauts and their wives
are in New York for a week end
of relaxation.
“We just came in to spend a
week end, see a couple of shows
and have dinner,” said Captain
Donald K. Slayton, 35, of Sparta,
Wis.
Slayton arrived Friday with his
wife and four other astronauts
and their wives. Two other astro
nauts and their wives had arrived
earlier.
Slayton was asked by newsmen
if the astronauts are confident'
they can travel into space and
return safely to earth.
“One hundred per cent,” he re
plied. “Oh, yes. There’s no doubt
about it.”
Back in Norfolk, Va., Lt. Col.
John H. Povyers, press chief for
Project Mercury, said the future
spacemen have graduated from
basic instruction in propulsiort
systems to more specific and com
plicated training with the actual
equipment they will use.
Soviets Develop New
Electronic Cold Unit
News of the Russians picked up
from Sen. Gruening’s party which
just toured that country is that
they have made tremendous
strides in building huge dams for
hydro-electric power.
One small, but interesting, use
to which they are applying their
power is refrigeration with no
moving parts. It is a reversed
thermocouple process. When heat
is applied to the two dissimilar
metals of a thermocouple, an elec
t ic current is caused to flow.
When a current is applied to the
right combination of two dissim
ilar metals, they absorb heat and
create refrigeration.

Duel Between Swimming
Elephant and 14-Ft. Sharks
NAIROBI, Kenya, UP\ — Fisher
men watched a duel to the death
between a thirst-crazed elephant
and giant sharks off the Kenya
mainland.
The elephant stampeded into
the sea and began to swim toward
an island 10 miles offshore. Seven
miles from the mainland sharks
— some 14 feet long — swept into
the attack, their dorsal fins slic
ing the sea’s surface.
Time and again, the doomed
beast lunged at his tormentors
% with dripping tusks. Then the
sharks attacked from both sides
and killed the elephant.
Game wardens Saturday re
ported finding 80 dead elephants
— believed to have died of thirst
— on the mainland opposite Lamu
. Island.
Harry Gabrielson, manager for
the Lomen Commercial Co., and
Jim Carey, who is in charge of
the floating equipment of the
plant, left for Seattle on Friday,
where they will spend the winter.

Wreckage Sighted
In Gulf of Mexico
Of 41-Victim Crash
NEW ORLEANS, UP) — A Coast
Guard helicopter reported today
sighting bodies floating in the
Gulf of Mexico amid scattered
wreckage at the scene of a Na
tional Airlines plane crash.
The pilot of the helicopter did
not indicate if there were any sur
vivors from the crash on the Mi
ami to New Oleans run. The plane
carried 35 passengers and a crew
of six.
The crash was the second in
volving a National Airlines plane
in - six years. Another plane
crashed in the Gulf in 1953 taking
46 lives.
The plane vanished in a fog
that* enveloped the area so quick
ly that Moisant International Air
port at New Orleans h^d to amend
its midnight forecast. The plane
was already overdue at fog
shrouded Moisant when the
amended forecast came out.
The plane was about a half
hours out of Moisant when it
dropped off the radar screen that
had been tracking it. The aircraft
was flying at 14,000 feet over the
450-mile overwater route from
Miami. .
The crash today and the one in
1953 had some startling parallels.
The planes were on the same run,
j the weather conditions were about
the same and both carried ap
proximately the same passenger
load.
The 1953 crash resulted in a
rash of law suits, one of which
was settled only last week by the
U. S. Supreme Court.
The high court denied a. Na
tional Airlines petition for a re
view of an order awarding $250,
000 to Mrs. Bervle Whiteman
Stiles, widow of one of the 1953
crash victims.
Frustrated Bandit . . .
ST. LOUIS, Mo., UP — A bandit
dashed from a market and jumped
into a parked ear, gun in hand,
thinking it was his getaway car.
Sitting in the car Friday was
the husband of a woman the ban
dit had just robbed. They
grappled, and the husband, Homer
McAfee, 34, disarmed Joseph
Williams.
Williams, 33, admitted to po
lice he robbed Mrs. McAfee of
$75 after taking $300 from a cash
register. He told officers he
thought McAfee’s car belonged to
a man who gave him the gun and
was to drive him away.
Police picked up the man, who
denied having anything to do
with the case.

of sending a delegate to be se

the governor said. _
The cost for each delegate has
been estimated at $600.
Names of the state delegates
must be submitted for credentials

Takes Over As
Cuban Army Chief
By RICHARD VALERIANI
HAVANA, MB — A hard-bitten
revolutionist took over command
of Cuba’s army Saturday as the is
land republic began a week of
mourning for his missing prede
cessor, Major Camilo Cienfuegos.
Major Juan Almeida’s appoint
ment as Army Chief of Staff fol
lowed a quick series of govern
ment moves Friday.
U. S. charges that “deliberate
and concerted efforts” are being
made to wreck American-Cuban
relations were rejected by Cuba.
Formal notice was given that
all but 1,050 acres of the 38,000
acre Becerra Ranch — controlled
by the King Ranch of Texas —
will be expropriated by the gov
ernment. The ranch was given
until Sunday to select the acreage
it wants to keep.
Cienfuegos, pne of the most pop
ular figures in Prime Minister
Fidel Castro’s regime, disappeared
on a plane trip from Camaguey
to Havana .October 28. Castro di
rected an unsuccessful search for
his army commander and said in
a TV speech early Friday
that Cienfuegos presumably had
crashed in the Atlantic.
Almeida, one of the original
band who helped Castro launch
his revolt against President Ful
gencio Batista three years ago,
formerly was air force chief.
