‘Don’t Know Anything . . .’
Will Be Loaded With
‘Do-It-Yourself’ Books!
WASHINGTON, UR — Rep. Bass
(D-Tenn.) has broken his rule
against sending more than 10 gov
ernment publications to any one
person at one time.
He sent 76 of the do-it-yourself
pamphlets to a Tennessee man
who pleaded:
“Recently married, expecting,
just moved into new home and
broke. I do not know anything
about anything. Neither does my
wife. Thanks.”

j Seemed To Be a Snake
I In Dresser Drawer, And
Police Come to Rescue
HOBBS, N. M., — There
seemed to be a snake, a Hobbs
family fold police, in a dresser
drawer at their home.
Three cops entered the home.
They found a screen wire over
the drawer in question. The police
captain, after removal of the
screen, was gingerly poking in
the drawer when . . .
“Buzz, buzz,,” said the snake.
“He’s under the bed!” shouted
a detective.
The police captain leaped into
the middle of the bed.
The police patrolman ran out
of the room backwards and fled
down a hallway.
Others in the audience chose
scattered points of safety.
Then calmness returned, as did
the officers. They determined the
critter wasn’t under the bed after
all. The search of the drawer was
resumed.
The buzzing demon then was
found — an old, partially dis
mantled and tightly wound watch,
unwinding its spring a few ticks
at a time.

Comments On
Beck’s Testimony
WASHINGTON, — President
Eisenhower said today, in com
menting on testimony by team
sters’ president, Dave Beck, he
shares the common reaction that
if a man invokes the Fifth Amend
ment there is something he doesn’t
want to tell.
Eisenhower was asked at his
news conference whether he be
lieves a labor leader has a re
sponsibility to answer questions
of Senate investigators such as
those put to Beck.
Eisenhower said he is no law
yer and could not pass on the
legal aspects of the matter.
But the President said he up
holds strongly the right of Con
gress to investigate as a basis for
legitimate legislation.-He said the
power and dignity of Congress is
in good hands.
Eisenhower said he has no doubt
the Fifth Amendment should be
used in instances where it is
necessary to protect and safe
guard basic rights.
But he went on to say he shares
the common reaction — that when
a man takes the Fifth Amend
ment there is something he doesn’t
want to tell.
Eisenhower was asked for his
opinion on the code of ethics
adopted by the AFL-CIO over
Beck’s opposition. The President
said he has been so preoccupied
with other matters he has no
opinion on that code.

Storm-Stranded
Traveler Knows
‘How Eskimos Live’
By FRANK CRAWFORD
KANSAS CITY, UP) — “Now I
know how the Eskimos live.”
That is how Miss Norma Duff,
26, of Middletown, Ohio, one of
253 passengers, described two
rugged days and nights aboard
the Rock Island Railroad’s Golden
State Limited, buried in a snow
drift near Meade, Kan.
A rescue train picked up ail
the passengers yesterday after
noon at Meade and stopped here
for two hours late last night be
fore continuing to Chicago.
Bedraggled but happy chair
car passengers agreed with Miss
Duff and added their descriptions
of darkened coaches, some with
out water and all without heat in
the raging blizzard that stalled
the Los Angeles to Chicago train
Saturday night. It was late Monday
before school buses had taken all
the passengers, including 22 chil
dren, to Meade. Most of them took
turns sleeping in the high school
gymnasium.
“I’m glad to be alive,” said
Mrs. George Helfrich who, with
her husband and three small chil
dren, hope to be home in Brook
field, 111., today.
Some 15 passengers were over
come by foul air Monday in car
No. 48, buried and insulated by
the snow.
“If it had been night and we
had been sleeping when these
people collapsed, I think some of
them might have died,” said Mrs.
Helfrich. She said they had noth
ing to eat Sunday except some
snacks they had in their luggage.
