Retired N&vy Man,
62, Gives Fortune
To Academy Fund
ANNAPOLIS, Md., UPI — A
$17,000 trust fund will be set up
to help Naval Academy athletes
through prep school, thanks to a
meek man who asked only one
favor.
After traveling 600 miles by
bus, the soft-spoken man waited
patiently in an outside office Fri
day to see Capt. Slade Cutter,
Navy athletic director.
Once inside, he explained he
was 62 years old, a retired Navy
enlisted man, a bachelor. He had
lived frugally all his life, had
saved some money and wanted
to help deserving academy ath
letes.
He took $23,000 in $100 bills
from his pocket and gave it to
the captain. Only at Cutter’s in
sistance would the man take back
$6,000 — in case of emergency.
He insisted he remain anony
mous. He refused a receipt^
After taking his visitor on a
tour of the Navy-Marine Memor
ial stadium under construction,
toward which the man had con
tributed $1,000, the captain asked,
“Is there anything else I can do?”
“Well,” the old sailor said hesi
tantly, “would you mind driving
me back to the bus station?”

Stoner of Japan’s
Prince Is Held On
‘Violence’ Charge
TOKYO, UP) — The unemployed
commoner who stoned the royal
wedding processions once Wanted
to challenge members of Japan’s
imperial family to a duel.
Police said a notebook found in
the apartment of Kensetsu Naka
yama, 19, carried the following no
tation address to members of the
imperial family: “I challenge to
a duel on April 10.” It was dated
March 26.
Nakayama will be turned over
to the Tokyo district prosecutor’s
office for indictment, police said.
A charge of “committing vio
lence,” carrying a maximum pen
alty to two years’ imprisonment,
will be recommended.
Nakayama hurled a stone at
Crown Prince Akihito and Prin
cess Michio Friday as they left
the Imperial Palace after their
marriage to ride through cheering
throngs in an open carriage.
The stone narowly missed the
prince. Police pounced on Naka
yama seconds later as he vaulted
onto the side of the moving coach
in a lunge towards Akihito.
“I have hated the Emperor and
Empress ever since my primary
school days when my teachers
forced me to bow deeply in the
direction of the Imperial Palace,”
police quoted the youth as saying.

Daffodil Festival
Has ‘Midnight Sun’
Theme at Tacoma
TACOM^., Iff) — A million gol
den daffodils ■— borne on 40 fab
ulous floats — spelled out a spec
tacular salute to Alaska Saturday
morning as downtown Tacoma was
transormed into a wonderland of
flowers and music.
Thousands of spectators jammed
downtown streets to applaud as
the procession moved through Ta
coma en route to Puyallup and
Sumner.
The skies were friendly and the
sun beamed frequently on the
26th Puyallup Valley Daffodil
Festival parade.
First in line, following the mo
torcycle policemen and the color
guard were convertibles, bearing
distinguished guests, led by Alas
ka Governor William A. Egan,
parade marshal, and Wallace T.
Stattz, festival president.
The first “oohs” and “aahs”
were for the queen, Her Majesty
Carol Mills, who waved to her
subjects from atop the “Land of
The Midnight Sun,” a float fa
shioned from 40,000 daffodils by
the city’s Department of Public
Utilities.
The remainder of the floats and
27 bands, punctuated by 35 drill
teams, three drum and bugle
corps, anl four mounted units,
glided and marched through the
streets and past the Union Sta
tion reviewing stands in a jumble
of music, noise and applause.
HOW MUCH IS A BILLION?
A hazy idea of the meaning of
a billion may be had by the fact
that the propeller on an air
plane traveling 300 miles per
hour would turn a billion times if
the plane could cruise continuous
ly (24 hours a day) for a year.
A billion dollar bills laid end
to end would encircle the earth
four times. And one billion min
utes sound like several months of
time, but it would actually carry
you back to the year A.D. 54.
One of the things we have often
wondered about is why “Heav
ens” is an exclamation and “Hell”
is a cuss word.
