Submarines Thought Sighted at Nome
AFTER NUMEROUS REPORTS of submarine
sightings here, and on dry land of all places, an
investigation by the N.S.E.A. (Nome Sandwich Eat
ers Assn.) proved that these objects were only the
Giant Submarine Sandwiches served by Dave Rich
ards at the (?).
These sandwiches were mistaken for real subs
because they were so fat — jammed full of salami,
bologne, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, mustard,
mayonnaise and with ;a huge conning tower of Potato
Salad, surrounded by Oceans of Free Coffee.

Whales do not spout water,
contrary to popular belief. The
moist air blown from the whale’s
lungs condenses into drops of
moisture in the colder atmosphere
giving the appearance of a foun
tain of water.

acid which was squirted at Rep-1

Egan Praises Eisenhower
Action on Land Selection
JUNEAU, — Governor Egan
this week praised President Eisen
hower’s action in approving a bill
permitting Alaska to select lands
placed under oil and gas lease
since July 7, 1&58, as part of its I
statehood land grant.
“This action on the part of the
President and the Congress,” Egan
said, “clears the way for the
state, should it so decide, not only
to select these lands but also to
consolidate other selections with
which these lease lands are inter
mingled. It’s one less block in
the way of a satisfactory land
selection program.”

Quite—But Not Quite . . .
LONDON, W> — The Soviets are
quite free to listen to foreign
radio broadcasts, Radio Moscow
said yesterday.
“Not only are we allowed to
hear foreign radio broadcasts but
we do,” said a commentator.
Practically every set on sale
in the Soviet Union has a short- !
wave band, Moscow said, “and
that means everybody has all
the chance in the world to tune
in to foreign broadcasts.”
The broadcaster made no men
tion of the frequent Soviet jam
ming of Western programs.

Enraged Elephant
Charges Throngs
At Cevlon Festival
J
By DENZIL PEIRIS
KANDY, Ceylon, (/PI — A mad
dened temple • elephant charged a
crowd of 200,000 at a religious fes
tival Wednesday night. Twenty
persons were reported killed in
the crush and thousands injured.
Several persons were reported
missing. It was feared some had
fallen or jumped into Kandy Lake
nearby.
The elephant was one of more
than 100 participating with dan
cers and drummers in an annual
Buddhist pageant called Perahera.
The animal became infuriated
when it stepped on burning coals
which had dropped from a flam
ing torch. It wheeled about and
charged, and the crowd ran
screaming in panic, seeking shel
i ter in nearby buildings, atop walls
and in trees.
Two mahouts clung to the ele
phant’s tail and trunk. They final
ly stopped it and chained it to a
lamppost. But the noise of the
surging crowd set the beast off
again and it broke loose, smash
ing shop fronts and trampling ob
stacles in its path.
Police finally shot and killed the
animal on the street.
The Perahera pageant cen
tered on the Temple of the Holy
Tooth, one of Buddhism’s most
sacred spots. The temple houses
a tooth supposed to have come
from the jaw of Buddha, who
founded the religion 25 centuries
ago.
