Naive Naked German
Trainees Reprimanded for
Lewdness In S. C.
CHARLESTON, S. C., OP — Five
young German sailors who un
wittingly stripped on a nearby
beach to change into their, swim
ming suits drew suspended sen
tences from a judge.
Through an interpreter, Judge
Herbert Lauden told the five Fri
day night that stripping on
American beaches just isn’t done.
The five, members of a large
German contingent undergoing
training at the Charleston Naval
Base, were arrested last Friday
after shocked bathers watched
them calmly strip, don their suits,
go swimming, strip again, and
pause to wash their suits in the
surf.

i Thinking' Geese . . .
CHARLESTON, Mo., W — Far
mer Armont Oliver’s geese are
wary of water.
They waddled into a Jarm pon'8
recently — and sank.
Oliver waded in and rescued the
befuddled flock. Then he tried to
figure out what happened.
Farmers in southern Missouri
use domesticated geese to clear
their cotton fields. The geese
range down the rows, eating weeds
and grass.
But while the flock was doing
its stuff, a pilot hired by Oliver
passed over, spraying the field and
the geese with insecticide.
When the geese entered the
shallow pond, the sank to the
muddy bottom, right up to their
long necks.
The spray contained an agent
that dried out oil sacs in their
skins.

Liberace Sues ~
British Journalist
| For Inferences
j LONDON, 'J?i—American enter
tainer Liberace denied in a Bri
! tish court today that he is a
I homosexual.
His denial came at the opening
! of a libel action against the Daily
! Mirror and News columnist, Wil
[ liam Neil Conner, who writes
| under the pen name of Causandra.
* The entertainer, whose full
name is Wladziu Valentine Lib
erace, was asked by his lawyer,
Gilbert Beyfus if he ever indulged
in homosexual practices.
“No sir, never in my life,” Li
berace replied.
Bayful said the language used
by Connor in the Daily Mirror
“meant, and was intended to
mean, that Liberace was a homo
sexual.”
The trial opened before a judge
and a jury that included two
women. The gallery was crowded
with women and girls.
Beyfus quoted in coiirt the of
fending articles.
“He reeks with emitic language
that can only mean grown men
long for a quiet corner, an aspi
dastra, a handkerchief and the
old heave-ho. Without doubt he is
the biggest sentimental vomit of
all time,” one said in part.
Bayfus said the article caused
Liberace intense distress and that
his mother was most upset when
she finally saw it.
In its defense plea the Mirror
contended that statements of fact
in the Connor article were true,
and that his expressions of opinion
were fair comment.
