Dorcas Gives New Yorkers
Lowdown on High fcorth
Smooching & Delicacies
By HUGH A. MULLIGAN
A-P Newsfealures Writer
NEW YORK, UP) — Eskimo ac
tress Dorcas Brower says it’s true
what they say about whale meat,
polar bear’s liver and rubbing
noses in the Land of the Midpight
Sun.
Over a dish of crushed Hawai
ian pineapple, the Alaskan beau
ty, soon to be seen in the movie
version of Edna Ferber’s “Ice
Palace.” delivered a miniature
travelogue on the delights of her
frozen homeland.
“Whale meat is very delicious,
quite sweet and very good for the
figure, because it has a low fat
content.
“But you must never eat polar
bear liver, otherwise you will lose
your hair and maybe your teeth.
Perhaps the hair will come back,
but it will be snow white.
“It’s true that Eskimo lovers
kiss by rubbing hoses, but in the
picture I don’t get to kiss Robert
Ryan. He plays my husband.”
Rubbing noses was quite the
thing at Sheldon Jackson Junior
College in Sitka, where Dorcas
was a campus beauty queen be
fore moving on to the University
of Alaska to study anthropology.
“They passed some sort of regu
lation about rubbing noses being
undignified on campus,” Dorcas
recalls. “It was quite a problem.
About 10 per cent of the student
body were Eskimos.”
Dorcas went on her first date
on a dog sled, which probably
meant the boy’s father had to
walk that night.
Prior to being discovered by
Hollywood scouts on the- Univer
sity of Alaska campus, the biggest
event in her life was Point Bar
row’s week-long celebration of
Alaska statehood.
“There were fireworks, bands,
speeches, bombing of icebergs and
everything,” she vividly recalls.
“That’s right, bombing icebergs. I
They blast them out of the water
with dynamite.”
Despite all the hoopla, there
was no drinking. With all that'ice
around, Point Barrow, the north
ernmost town in these United
States, is bone dry, by vote of
the local citizenry.
Dorcas has no .opinions on the
prohibition issue north of the Arc
tic Circle, but she does take sides
in the Anchorage vs. Jupeau
battle over which city should be
the permanent state capitol.
“I think,” says Dorcas, “it
should be Point Barrow.”

Ike On Formosa;
Denounces Reds as
Aggressive Tyrants
By MARVIN L. ARROWSMITH
TAIPEI, Formosa (Sunday), (R
— Half a million Chinese Nation
alists roared approval yesterday
as President Eisenhower con
demned Comunist China as a
tyrannical regime. He uttered the
denunciation a few hours after
the Communists hit Quemoy with
a tremendous artillery barrage in
tended to embarrass him.
Eisenhower got a thunderous
welcome to this Nationalist island
stronghold and reaffirmed Amer
ican defense pledges to President
Chiang Kai-Shek — including a
promise to defend the Quemoy
offshore complex against any at
tack that might be a prelude to
invasion of Formosa itself.
A joint statement to give new
support to hese military links be
tween Taipei and Washington was
support to these military links be
tween Chiang and Eisenhower, a
political highlight of the 25-hour
visit from Chiang’s point of view.
Eisenhower came ashore by
helicopter Saturday morning from
the heavy cruiser St. Paul less
than nine hours after the Chinese
Communists slammed a record
86,000 shells into Quemoy, held
by Nationalist China a few miles
from the Red mainland and about
100 miles west of Formosa.
The Friday night assault killed
eight, including three civilians,
and wounded 47. The Commu
nists called the onslaught a sym
bol of “contempt and scorn” for
Eisenhower, and they assailed
him as a “god of plague.”
The President, on a Far East
ern tour taking him to Okinawa
and Korea, denounced the bom
bardment through an aide as a
“deliberate aggressive act.”

Ted Williams Satisfied
To Retire at 500
NEW YORK. Wl — Ted Wil
liams, having reached the last of
his personal goals with Home Run
No. 500, has made up his mind to
close out his long, brilliant and
turbulent career at the end of the
1960 season.
This is no sudden decision on
Ted’s part. The tall, handsome
Boston Red Sox slugger, who on
Aug, 30 will reach his 42nd birth
day, began this season with the
idea that this would be the last
one.
Friday night, after hitting his
eighth home run of the season
and 500th of his career, he was
asked whether he had changed
his mind.
"My mind is made up in re
gards to next year,” he said.
“And you know what it is. The
only reason I’m playing this year
is because I wanted to vindicate
myself and I also wanted those
500 home runs.”
