, Father Is A Hero
To Small Son
SEATTLE, UP) — Eight months
| is a terribly long time to a little
| boy of years,
j It had been that long since Billy
' Mims Jr. .had seen his father. And
dads the world over are heroes
to youngsters the size of Billy, re
gardless of circumstances.
Billy had come all the way from
Spokane to see his dad, William
T. Mims, 22, play in a football
game in Seattle. And when daddy
i received a slight knee injury and
had to sit out most of the game
— well that was just fine with
Billy.
It meant nearly an hour of be
ing in Dad’s arms — something
very warm and wonderful after
240 lonely days.
All this happened six days ago.
Few spectators at the exhibition
football game had noticed Billy
race from the stands to be
scooped into the arms of one of
the players.
Billy’s father’s team lost to the
Seattle Ramblers. 46-6. That was
hard enough for Billy to under
stand. After all, his father was a
star end.
It was even harded to under
stand why his mother, Jodine, had
to take him as his father walked
from the field, guarded with
guns.
Billy doesn’t know his father
was penalized 3Vis years in the
State Reformatory for a costly
fumble — with bad checks.
U. S. To Test
Underground, If
Agreement Fails
NEW YORK, UP) — The New
York Times said Saturday that
Atomic Energy Commission offi
cials believe that the atomic test
series just ended in Nevada
shows the feasibility of going al
most completely underground in
a future test program.
In a Washington dispatch by
John W. Finney, the newspaper
said:
“A proposal to conduct under
ground tests is being advanced
within the commission as an alter
nate American position in the
event the current East-West ne
gotiations at Geneva'fail to agree
on halting atomic tests.”
In view of worldwide fears of
atomic fallout, the story says,
AEC officials concede that contin
uing above-surface atomic tests
will place the United States at a
severe psychological disadvantage.
The population of Brazil is
growing at the rate of 2.5 per cent
a year, one of the highest rates
in the world, according to Focus,
a publication of the»American
Geographical Society. Official es
timates say the population will
reach 65,743,000 by 1960.

Seven More
Workers Found
Alive In Mine
SPRINGVILLE, N. S., UP) —Res
cue workers dug seven more min
ers alive Saturday from the shat
tered Cumberland No. 2 diggings,
buckled by an earth shift nine
days before.
Freed from the hardships and
terrors of imprisonment in a
waste area at the 13,00-foot level,
the seven were lifted out to cheers
of townspeople who had given
them up for dead.
Sounds and moans from behind
a wall of debris had caught the
attention of a rescue crew a
couple of hours before dawn.
Byron Martin was first to reach
the surface in this dramatic re
enactment of the rescue on Wed
nesday of 12 other miners who had
survived for six days in a dark,
narrow pocket with almost no
water, food or hope.
Ken Murray, one of the rescue
workers, said he and a teammate,
John Calder. first heard scratch
ings.
Another rescuer said “It
sounded like a cat.”
“I couldn’t believe my ears,”
he said.
Thirty-five men, dead or alive,
were estimated to be still at the
13,000-foot level. Five are still
missing elsewhere in the mine.
Of the 174 men underground
in North America’s deepest coal
mine when it was wrecked nine
days ago, 40 are now missing and
34 are known to be dead. One
hundred escaped, or have been
found alive.
Prince Philip, husband of Queen
Elizabeth II, visited the pithead
Friday. He also talked with the
survivors and the relatives of
men who lost their lives.
