In Kansas City

direction. This brought down a.
bigger chorus of boos. For the

everytime the spotlight was on
Williams the fans booed.
There was no comment from
manager Michael Higgins about
the case of Williams, who was
fined $5,000 for a similar incident
two years ago.
Neither was there any from
Williams. He left word with the
hotel telephone operator he did
not want to take any calls.

Miss Louisiana
Chosen Miss
United States

Louisiana, a slender blonde with
that special sparkle, is the new
Miss United States in 1958’s Miss
Universe contest.
Eurlyne Howell, 18, has the

judge described this way:
“You fall in love with her as
soon as you see her.”
She has a dazzling smile, blue
eyes, and long, honey blonde

She speaks with a soft Dixie
drawl and fits her self-descrip
tion: “a Southern lady.”
Eurlyne is 5 feet 6, weight 119
pounds and measures 36-23V£
35Vi. These charms helped her
last night in winning victory over

Miss Florida, Marcia Valibus, 20,
Miami Beach; Miss Alabama,
Judith LuJille Carlson, 18, Birm
ingham; Miss Illinois, June Pick
ney, 22, Chicago, and Miss Geor

All were beautiful. What made
Eurlyne the winner:

able something that makes a girl
an actress—>or doen’t make her
an actress,” said Vincent Trotta,
head of the nine-judge panel.
“This girl has that special
sparkle.”
The competition begins tonight,
when the 34 foreign entries—plus
Miss Howell—will be cut down to
15 semi-finalists.

Rape-Slayer Dies
In Electric Chair
On His 33rd Birthday
HUNTSVILLE, Tex., — For
mer airman Jimmy Shaver was
put to death in the electric chair
here early today—his 33rd birth
day—for the 1954 rape slaying
of a three-year-old San Antonio
girl.
His only birthday gift was a
bouquet of flowers given to him
yesterday by his aunt, Mrs.
Elaine ■ Tyer. With the flowers
was a note: “May this be a
small ray of sunshine to you on
your birthday.”
The execution of Shaver, con
victed of the death of Chere Jo
Horton near a San Antonio tav
ern, had been delayed several
times by reprieves.
The last was issued after a
former jailmate, Donald Summers
confessed to 'slaying the girl.
Earlier this week the State Board
of Pardons and Paroles said a lie
detector test showed that Sum
mers was not the slayer.

Soviets Want To
Extend Geophysical
Year Beyond Dec. 31
LONDON, IJO — The Soviet
government wants to extend the
International Geophysical Year
(IGY) for another 12 months af
ter Dec. 31, Pravda said today.
The Communist Party organ
said the Soviet IGY committee
feels the 18-month IGY year is
too short to complete some as
pects of the program, Moscow
radio reported.
The IGY began July 1, 1957, as
a cooperative effort by more than
10,000 scientists of 66 nations to
learn more about the earth, from
the depths of the oceans to outer
atmosphere. The IGY special
committee will meet in Moscow
for nine days beginning next
Friday to survey results thus far.
Washington proposed last April
that IGY studies in the Antarc
tic by the United States, the
Soviet Union and 10 other nations
continue after Dec. 31.
