memory of American soldiers, sail
ors and airmen who died on D

Veterans of the first hour of
the historic assault on Normandy
mingled with French residents,
official representatives and rela

Wreaths were laid and prayers
said at an impressive memorial
at the American cemetery at St.

Eisenhower Sends
Message via Moon
To Canadian Chief
PRINCE ALBERT, Sask., UPt —
Prime Minister John Diefenbaker
Saturday received a message from
President Eisenhower bounced off
the moon, and prepared one that
may follow a similar course back
to the President.
The two leaders exchanged
greetings on the opening of a new
government radar laboratory
here, to work with ■ the XJ. S.
Millstone Laboratory near Boston.
Diefenbaker announced at the
opening ceremonies that Canada
will launch an earth satellite in
1961 with XJ. S. coperation.
The President’s message — em
phasizing cooperation between
Canada and the United States —
was recorded by the laboratory
here a few days previous from a
Millstone Laboratory radio trans
mission bounced off the moon.
Diefenbaker’s reply was sent to
Boston for transmission via the
moon at a later date.

, Saturday the setting was peace

littered the invasion coast on the
15th anniversary of the mammoth
second-front assault which started
the Allied sweep across Europe
and brought Germany to her knees
within eleven months.

16 Mexican Workers
Killed in Bus Crash
PHOENIX, Ariz., UP) — Sixteen
farm laborers were killed and 32
others were injured when a
crudely fashioned bus crashed
into a tree and exploded near
Phoenix today.
The highway patrol, which had
difficulty determining the num
ber of charred and cremated bod
ies in the twisted wreckage, listed
these figures as official, but said
there may be more dead.
All of the victims were Mexican
nationals.
Many of the injured were re
ported in serious condition with
burns and broken bones.
The patrol quoted the driver,
Nato Manuel Gloria Jr., as say
ing he dozed at the wheel. Gloria
said he began feeling sleepy and
was going to stop at the intersec
tion 100 yards ahead to turn the
driving over to another.
The driver escaped serious
injury.
The workers were en route from
a labor office at Mesa, Ariz., to
garlic fields at Tolleson, west of
Phoenix.

Flying Granddad
Finds Arab Tea
Illness No Joke
LOS ANGELES, UP> — The
flying granddad, Max Conrad, says
he learned on his record non-stop
flight from Africa to California
that:
“Mint tea makes me ill.”
A tired but happy Conrad said
it with a grin last Thursday after
the 55 hour, 38 minute, 7,638-mile
hop from Casablanca, Morocco.
But it was no joke, he admitted,
when he took a good swig of the
tea and became nauseated over a
lonely expanse of ocean near
Cuba.
“I didn’t want to take any food,
only a thermos of coffee and the
tea, said Conrad, who makes his
living delivering airplanes around
the world. “The Arabs put mint
in the tea and it became rancid.
Boy, was I sick!”
Conrad, who made the flight as
a promotion stunt for the plane’s
manufacturer, said the most dan
gerous moment was takeoff.
“The plane was loaded with 500
gallons of gas,” he said. ‘I got
it off after 4,500 feet of runway,
and still had about 1,000 feet to
spare. A normally loaded plane
of this type — the Piper Comanche
— takes less than 1,000 feet to
take off.

Pacific Northwest Conference last
week.

ence, which meets in Denver next
April, and the Western Jurisdic
tional Conference must approve
the action to put into effect a set
up which would create a fifth
bishop for the west.
“Our vast geographical expanse
is well recognized, and, particular
ly with the new emphasis on
growth in Alaska, the needs of our
churches require this additional
episcopal supervision.” ,
Under the plan north Idaho,
Alaska and parts of Washington
would foe placed in the new area.
