Tainted Cranberry
Shipment Seized
In California
WASHINGTON, UP) — The Wel
fare Department has recom
mended seizure in California of
another shipment of Oregon cran
berries found to be tainted with
aminothiazole, the weed killer
that produces cancer in rats.
Welfare Secretary Arthur S.
Flemming said Friday no evidence
has turned up that any cranber
ries are contaminated except some
of those from Washington and
Oregon.
Flemming was borne out by' an
Associated Press check of 17 re
gional offices of the Food and
Drug Administration, which is
testing the entire current cran
berry crop.
Aside from the San Francisco
office, which turned up the second
tainted Oregon shipment at Mo
desto, Calif., none" of the offices
have found any bad cranberries.
Flemming said the tainted ship
ment contained 311 bags of 4
pounds each that came from Co
quille, Ore.
Cranberry growers have severe
ly criticized Flemming for touch
ing off the scare just when
Thanksgiving and Christmas are
coming. Flemming has stood his
ground. His department said Fri
day that “no one knows how much
or how little of any chemical
which produces cancer in the test
animal may be required to pro
duce cancer in a human being.”

Baltimore Pours
Out Cash to Poor
BALTIMORE, Md., — It’s
six weeks until Christmas, but a
Santa Clause has already doled
out thousands of dollars to the
poor folks of this city.
He’s not a jolly, plump man
with a white beard, but a serious
looking man of 27. He wears
slacks, a black suit coat and blue
denim shirt.
He just asks two questions after j
he raps on a housewife’s door:
Are you poor? Will you use any
money I give you in the right
way?
Some ladies simply slammed the
door in his face when he first
went about his portal-to-portal
altruism on Thursday. But most;
quickly caught on when he
pressed $25 or $50 into their palms
I and walked off. He handed out
about $3,000 Thursday and an un
disclosed amount Friday, author
ities said.
Who is this mystery man, people
in crowded row-houses are asking.
He’s Arthur Douglas Foster III,
of suburban Glyndon. He’s single,
according to friends, and he in
herited about $85,000 from a
grandmother.
His parents were divorced and
remarried. Both are well-to-do.
They have tried to persuade him
to give up this share-the-wealh
plan, Foster told a reporter Fri
day night.
After getting many calls about
the man, police picked him up (
Friday and questioned him. Fos- i
ter was indignant at first, but j
the officers explained it just isn’t
common for a man to go around j
giving away money.
At any rate, they couldn’t hold
him for giving away his own
money, so off he went again by
taxi, presumably to hand out
more bills.
“All this publicity may force
me to change my tactics,” he said.
Asked to explain his generosity,
Foster answered with a question:
“Look at it this way; if you were
poor, would you rather go to the
welfare department, where you
have to tell them everything about
yourself, or would you rather just
knowr that there is someone who
can help you without all of that?”
When asked if he had a reli
gious motive, he replied: “Yes, I |
suppose you would say I have.”
Other than that, he wasn’t say
ing much.
U. S. Passports Will be
Altered to Pacify Reds :
I
WASHINGTON, MV-At the re- j
quest of newsmen waiting to get |
into Red China, the State Depart
ment' has agreed to change the i
wprding of their passports.
The passports issued to 31
newsmen say they are not valid
for travel in “Albania, those por
tions of China, Korea and Viet
Nam under Communist control.”
The newsmen suggested that
Red Chinese authorities might
have been annoyed by “portions
of China under Communist con
trol.” The Communist government
considers itself the government
of all China and lays claim to
Formosa, now held by the Na
! tionalists.

Canadian Telegraph Company to
Build Microwave Communication
Link to Alaska For the U.S. Govt.
TORONTO, (J) — Canada’s pub
licly-owned telegraph company
has made a deal with the U. S.
government for a microwave com
munications link to Alaska.
Details of the contract were dis
closed last week by John R.
White, general manager of Ca
nadian National Telegraphs
(CNT).
The company has signed a con
tract with RCA Victor Co. litd.,
of Montreal, for construction of
the line.
When completed, it will produce
a border-to-border telephone and
telegraph link from Montana to ;
Fairbanks, almost entirely free of j
climactic interference and with j
an ultimate capacity of 660 chan- ;
nels.
Its cost is estimated at between !
$20,000,000 and $25,000,000. CNT i
and its contracting firms will
build about 50 microwave towers
from southern Alberta to the j
Alaska border in the vicinity of j
Snag, Y.T. It will follow general
ly the route of the Alaska High- ;
way and cover a distance of about j
1,250 miles.
At the border it will link up
with the Alaska Comunications
System to Fairbanks via facilities
to be 'built by the U. S. The
southern terminus will be at
Sweet Grass, Montana.
Initially the project will pro
vide two broad-band microwave
connections, one a spare, each

i with a capacity of 120 channels.
A third band could be added if
needed.
It will be built entirely at the
expense of the CNT which will
retain ownership. The United
States will have a 10-to-15-year
lease on the initial 120 channels
at a yearly rental which will
cover the capital cost of the two
broad bands.
Since last October CNT has had
two or three helicopters looking
at the route and has tentatively
picked the tower locations. These
will have to be rechecked by the
contractor during the building
job for CNT.
Some sites, however, are so
obvious that work on land-clear
ing and construction of access
roads may start before winter,
White said.
BLM Alaska Employes
Offered Right to Apply
For Small Tract Leases
WASHINGTON, UP> — Under
a new Interior Department or
der, Bureau of Land Management
employes in Alaska will be al
lowed to apply for small tract
leases on federal land.
Senator Bob Bartlett, who was
notified of the directive Friday,
said it affects some 600 BLM
employes who have been unable
to file for land since last May.
Bartlett had opposed an Interior
Department directive which pro
hibited such employes from fil
ing on federal land. He said it
was necessary to allow them to
apply as an added incentive for
Alaska employment.
Bartlett also argued that there
is little land other than federal
land available for purchase.
