Short Creek Polygamists
Get ‘Stay Of Execution’
After Pleading Guilty
KINGMAN, Ariz., UP)—A judge’s
angry words echoed for a lonely
group of men who headed home
Tuesday—to empty Short Creek,
a town with echoes of its own.
The 26 leaders of the uprooted
polygamy colony were given a
“stay of execution” after pleading
guilty to charges of conspiracy.
Imposition of sentence was sus
pended until Dec. 1, 1954, by Su
perior Court Judge Robert A. Tul
lar with this stern warning:
“A violation by any of you and
the individual will be sentenced
to prison.”
Legal wives will be permitted
to join their husbands at Short
Creek. But polygamous wives will
not, on threat of legal action by
the state.
All of their children now are
forbidden from returning. State’s
attorneys indicated a way might
be found to keep the children with
their mothers’ however.

Now Coeds Can Get
Escorts For a Price
—70c Per Hour
STILLWATER, Okla., UFV—Chiv
alry, dead for years, has been
pushed about six feet deeper into
the ground by four Oklahoma
A&M College undergraduates who
decided to trade the Sir Lancelot
idea for a fast $$$.
Their money-making idea is
guaranteed to make a French
man’s blood turn white, a Latin’s
heart to limp.
They are selling good looks and
social poise for 70 cents an hour
to dateless damsels.
Calling themselves the City
Wide Escort Service, they believe
their business venture will prove
the answer to a desperate coed’s
prayer.
They are available, at the pre
vailing rates, for Coke dates,
dances, bridge, coffee or tea drink
ing, or any social gathering at
which a young lady may with to
appear with an escort.
The boys guarantee the young
ladies a date they will be proud
of, well-mannered, well-dressed,
well-read—well! ^
The boys announced their arri
val on the Oklahoma A&M social
scene with an ad that read: “Girls,
don’t panic. An escort is as close
as your telephone.”
Here’s how their system works:
Customers get the use of one of
four cars—their choice. The first
20 miles are free and a nominal
charge of three cents a mile is
added thereafter. Cigarettes, the
customer’s brand, are free. Rates
start at 70 cents an hour for
single dates with lower rates for
double, triple or quadruple dates.
Air Secretary Talbott Says
U.S. Will Eventually Help
Japan Build An Air Force
NEW ORLEANS, IS1)—Air Secre
tary Harold Talbott said Monday
the United States plans eventually
to help Japan build an air force.
Talbott’s comment, contained in
an address prepared for delivery
to the chamber of commerce,
came, probably by coincidence, on
the anniversary of Pearl Harbor
Day.
Talbott gave no details for the
plan to aid Japan.
Talbott spoke of the huge air
bases at Anchorage and Fair
banks, Alaska, which serve both
for defensive purposes and as
“staging bases for our strategic
striking forces.” He declared:
“I believe our investment there
is paying off right now in terms
of the apprehension it must cause
the Communists to see us sitting
just across Bering Strait with such
an array.”
Then Talbott referred to the
new USAF base at Thule, Green
land, as one of the most valuable
of the forward bases “because
from this base, at the top of the
world, SAC’s (Strategic Air Com
mand) bombers can reach any
point in the Northern Hemi
sphere.”
A Quaint Scandinavian 5
Custom, No Doubt p
HOLLYWOOD, Fla., Uft—A Nor
wegian business executive and his
secretary went swimming Scan
dinavian style Tuesday and were
surprised at the excitment they
caused. 1
Police said Carl Lowenskiold, 52,
of Oslo, plunged into the ocean in
his natural state.
His secretary, Mrs. Blesvik As
trid, 33, also of Oslo, was attired
in the bottom half of a two-piece
bathing suit.
“Why, I didn’t know there was
anything wrong in that,” Lowen
skiold protested to police when
they were arrested for indecent
exposure. “It’s quite proper in
Norway.”
“That may be,” agreed Desk
Sgt. Emil Joo, “but unfortunate
ly we have laws against it here.”
Both were released after post
ing $25 bond.
