Bunny Mistaken for Bruin
RICHMOND, Va. MB — A big
bear hunt within sight of this
city’s skyline has turned up noth
ing more than five rabbits, a few
field mice and a turkey hen and
gobbler and their brood of 14.
After reliable reports indicated
the sighting of a black bear near
Deepwater terminal within the
city limits, a (bear hunt was quick
ly formed yesterday that included
hunters and dogs from as far as
100 miles away.
All day the men talked excited
ly of guns, good and bad hounds
and what it was like to hunt bear
in Alaska. And all day the hounds
sniffed and waded, paddled and
pawed around the terminal area.
But at sundown the talk turned
to warm rooms, dry feet and hot
baths. The fact of the matter was
that the bear just wasn’t there.
Richmond’s big bear hunt came
to an end. And nobody said much
about a second one.

Travel Restrictions to Be
Eased on Communist
Officials in U.S.
WASHINGTON UT> — The Ken
nedy Administration plans to ease
travel restrictions on some Com
munist officials in this country,
authoritative sources said yester
day.
The State Department is work
ing on the revision.
Various kinds of restrictions are
in existence for Soviet and other
diplomats, newsmen and officials
from the satellite countries.
The State Department contends
the restrictions were established
strictly in retaliation for similar
restrictions ordered by Moscow
or other Satellite capitals.
More than 75 per cent of Am
erican employes get coffee breaks
on company time. Two per cent
of the firms limit the coffee break
to no more than five minutes,
20 per cent to 10 minutes, 36 per
cent to 15 minutes, and 42 per
cent leave it up to the conscience
of their employes.
Donates Estimated Cost
Of Fallout Shelter,
$1,000, to United Nations
PALO ALTO, Calif. UFi — Mrs.
Wayne Ehvood Sr., wife of a
business executive, has donated
$1,000 to the United Nations. This
is the amount she estimates it
would have cost her to build a
fallout shelter, she explained yes
terday.
Mrs. El wood wrote a letter to
U.N. acting Secretary-General U
Thant saying: “The family shelter
plan contributes to the idea that
nuclear war is inevitable, fosters
the illusion that a post-nuclear
world would be worth living in
and encourages in man the animal
instinct for survival at the cost
of the human principle of the
brotherhood of man.”
You don’t have to have a col
lege degree to become President
of the United States. At least
nine didn’t. They were Washing
ton, Jackson, Van Buren, Taylor,
Fillmore, Lincoln, Johnson, Cleve
land and Truman.
