HOW ABOUj^^TAGONIZING REAPPRAISAL?^
‘THE LIGHT THAT SHINETII IN DARKNESS’
Announcement has just been made of the “Air Age
supplement to the American welcome so long extended
to shipbome visitors by the Statue of Liberty.” This
new aerial “symbol of welcome and freedom”—which,
it is hoped, can be turned on for Easter Sunday—will
be visible to overseas visitors for 300 miles out over
the Atlantic Ocean.
Described as “a spectacular electronic tiara,” this
bright new welcome will be provided by four revolving
beacons 1,092 feet above the “sidewalks of New York”
atop the Empire State Building. These Empire State
Lights, generating a brilliance of nearly four billion
eandlepower, will be the brightest continuous source of
man-made light in the world. The four huge “lamps,”
weighing a ton each, are being installed at the base of
the mighty television tower that provides the antenna
for all seven of New York City’s TV stations. The syn
chronized beacons will revolve counterclockwise at
about one revolution per minute, and will be in opera
tion from sundown until midnight.
Air travellers in our own country will see the
Empire State Lights from as far away as Harrisburg,
Albany, Boston, Baltimore and Washington. From the
ground, they will be visible in Bridgeport, Conn.,
Poughkeepsie, N.Y., and Allentown and Bethlehem in
Pennsylvania—and on especially clear nights perhaps
in Philadelphia, 85 miles away.
It is the hope of Col. Henry Crown, president of
the Empire State Building Corporation, that these fab
ulous shafts of light will “symbolize not only welcome,
but the unlimited opportunities of America and our
hopes and prayers for peace.”
YES, ADVERTISING PAYS
A retail grocers’ association reports that of every
100 customers put on the books of any store in any one
year, only 19 remain after 10 years.
Citing this, the Sanderson vi lie (Georgia) Progress
says: “Merchants who believe ‘everyone knows where
my store is’ might ponder these figures and seek more
new customers through planned newspaper advertising
in the home town newspaper.”
Competition is mighty keen in retailing these days,
and the successful merchant must vigorously go after
business. The home town newspaper is still the best
place to advertise any store’s wares and attractions.
Soviets to Enforce Sharp
Restrictions On Salmon
Fishing In The Pacific
l
LONDON, UFI — Moscow radio
said today the Soviet Union will
enforce sharp restrictions on sal
mon fishing in the Sea of Ok
hotsk, the western part of Ber
ing Sea, and part of the north
Pacific.
Described as a conservation
measure, the restrictions will ap
ply to Soviet citizens and foreign
fishermen.
The broadcast said the mea
sures will be enforced during the
spawning season from May 15 to
Sept. 15, beginning this year.
Under the regulations, it added,
fishing in the areas involved “can
be carried out only with special
permits issued by the USSR min
istry of fish industry.”
TOKYO, OP — The chief of
Japan’s fishery board said today
Japan will not recognize the re
strictions Russia placed on salmon
fishing in some Far Eastern
waters.
Tomonsuke Shiomi called the
Russian restrictions a violation of
the basic principles of fishing in
open seas.
McKay May Resign
Early to Campaign
WASHINGTON, UP> —Secretary
j of the Interior McKay said yester
| day he may resign early enough
| to permit him to be in Eugene,
i Ore., April island 14 to speak to
| a meeting of young Reppublieans.
McKay is a candidate for the
Republican senatorial nomination.
He previously had said he plan
ned to resign from the cabinet by
May 1 and Monday he was report
ed aiming at about April 20.
“I’ll know by Monday when I’ll
resign,” McKay told a reporter.
“It may be in time for me to
be able to speak at a meeting of
young Republicans in Oregon
next month. I might be out by
then but if I am still secretary
there will be a conflict unless I
can break engagements I have.”
“Direct Male” recalls the old
days when, if a youth started
sowing wild oats, he father started
the thrashing machine.

Cyprus City Suffers
Anti-Greek Riots
By Turkish Mob
NICOSIA, Cyprus OP—Gangs of
Turkish Cypriot youths stormed
through Nicogia yesterday looting
and smashing Greek shops.
Inflamed by reports of a Greek
attack on Turks in the village of
Vasilia Monday, Turkish mobs
started gathering in Nicosia’s Ko
nak Square yesterday morning.
Police used tear gas to disperse
them, but they re-formed and
stormed out of the square towards
the neighboring Mosque of St.
Sophia, largest on the island.
Leaving a trail of debris and
shattered glass in its wake, the
mob was eventually broken up by
police cars and it scattered into
the narrow side streets.
Before it was scattered, the
mob, which numbered about 500
at the time, beat up a Greek Cyp
riot photographer who was snap- j
ping pictures of the demonstra- j
tion. He was not seriously injured, i
The youths ignored a loud-1
speaker appeal from a city official
to disperse to save the Turkish!
quarter from being placed under [
curfew.
