JAN SIBELIUS, FAMED FINNISH
COMPOSER, DIES AT AGE OF 91
HELSINKI, Finland, Iff)—Jean
Sibelius, a brooding, mystical
giant among the world’s compos
ers, died Friday night at the age
of 91.
He had been in good health
until stricken with a brain hem
orrhage at the villa which he built
near Helsinki 53 years ago.
Sibelius left his imprint on the
world of music with 13 symphon
ic sagas, seven symphonies, and
several works for piano and
strings.
He also left a mystery. Altho
his last published music appeared
in the late 1920s, he was believed
to have worked on an eighth
symphony in more recent years.
The grand sweep of his tone
poem “Finlandia” has intrigued
and mystified audiences since it
Was first performed in 1899. The
Russians, who then ruled the land
of the Finns, banned it for a time,
fearing that its grandeur might
incite freedom riots.
The “Swan of Tuonela,” with a
dark philosophy of death and
damnation, was second to “Fin
landia” in the favor of Western
audiences.
Sibelius’ symphonies, especial
ly those in E and in D, also were
widely played.
Sibelius’ last published major
work was “Tapiola,” which ap
peared in 1925.
Sibelius began composing at the
age of 10. After a fling at legal
studies, he dedicated his life to
music.
Survivors include his wife,
Aino, 89, and five daughters.
There are 15 grandchildren, in
cluding Laura, wife of Ralf Enck
ell, Finnish delegate to the U.N. «
SEARCH CALLED OFF
FOR AIRMEN IN
CRASH OF B-47
HALIFAX, N.S., Iff)—U.S. and
Canadian air force units have
called off a search for two Amer
ican airmen who disappeared last
Tuesday after their B-47 bomber
crashed in the Gulf of St. Law
rence off the Nova Scotia coast.
One of the three crew members
aboard the plane was rescued.
The others also were believed to
have bailed out but no trace was
found of them.
A U.S. Air Force spokesman
said 19 aircraft and 12 ships of
both nations covered 12,000
square miles during the four-day
search.

Climbs 26 Miles
For New Record
OAKLAND, Calif. UP)—A weath
er balloon ascended to a record
height of 138,000 feet—about 26
miles—Weather Bureau officials
disclosed Saturday.

from the Oakland airport shortly
before midnight.

quired 93 minutes to reach the
height, about 2,000 feet higher

Small A-Device
‘Whitney’
Fired Today
ATOMIC TEST SITE, Nev., UP)
—A relatively small atomic de
vice was fired at 5:30 a.m. today
from a 500-foot tower on the
Yucca Flat testing grounds. It
was the oft-postponed “Whitney”
shot, 22nd in the 1957 series.
The Atomic Energy Commis
sion said the energy yield was
more than half nominal, which
means the blast would have the
equivalent of something more
than 10,000 tons of TNT.
Reporters watching the explo
sion from Angel’s Peak, some 40
miles from the detonation point,
estimated the power at around 15
kilotons, or 15,000 tons of TNT.
The nominal bombs dropped on
Japan in World War II were rat
ed at 20,000 tons.
Newsmen were not permitted
to view this test from the site
itself.
A brilliant yellow flash was
followed by a two-second fireball
which flared a deep red-orange
color, with a purple glow tinging
the rising mushroom cloud.
Mr. and Mrs. Willie Kuzruk are
the parents of a daughter born at
the MMM Hospital.

| Fun-Loving Bavarians
[will Roll Out the Barrel
To Celebrate Harvest
MUNICH, Germany UP>—Bavar
ia rolled out the beer barrel Sat
urday for a 16-day beer bust.
Mayor Thomas Wimmer tapped
the first giant keg to start the
annual blow-out in celebration of
good crops.
From Saturday until Oct. 6,
fun-loving Bavarians and an ex
pected 6,000,000 guests from other
parts of the world will whoop
it up.
They’ll imbibe a million gallons
of extra strong special beer and
as many pork sausages to the ac
companiment of booming Bavar
ian brass bands. Several thousand
roast chickens and many oxen-on
the spit will be served.
The celebration centers in a
two-mile-square flat meadow con
taining beer halls, many holding
4,000 persons each, wild west
shows, roller coasters, freaks and
tummy twitchers.
Arctic Research
Center Testing
Homes for Natives
ANCHORAGE—A house built
from a modified water tank is be
ing completed in Eeek, an Eskimo
village on the lower Kuskokwim
River.
The home is one of four experi
mental houses being planned end
erected by the Arctic Research
Center here in an attempt to find
sanitary homes which can be
made and heated at little cost by
the Alaska natives.
A model of a log house destined
for construction at Beaver, Indian
village on the Yukon which being
relocated away from the river’s
path, now sits in the laboratory of
the research center.
A bungalow type home is a
year old in Napaskiak, an Eskimo
village about five miles below
Bethel on the Kuskokwim; and
another has recently been com
pleted at Aniak, about halfway
between Bethel and McGrath.
The experiments are being
made so that if ever a housing
program gets underway here the
plans for the best type of housing
will already have been made.
Researchers here hope that in
the round Eek house they have
the answer to the principal prob
lem that faces them: to find a
house that will save heat so the
residents will not have to spend j
so much time hunting driftwood j
and can use that time hunting for I
food.
