Chinchilla Quints Bom
And Doing Well Despite
Mama’s Refusal to Nurse
COLUMBUS, Ohio, W—The
owners called it a million-to-one
shot, but chinchilla quintuplets
were born near here this week.
And they’re well and thriving,
despite mama’s refusal to nurse
them.
The five were born on the chin
chilla ranch of Mr. and Mrs. Wil
liam E. Miles, who hand-feed the
quints every hour. Born Monday,
the five measure about two inches
each and weigh between one and
one and a half ounces apiece.
Experts on the South American
animals say only four such births
have been recorded in the United
States. A pair of mature male and
female chinchillas can bring as
much as $1,500.

Western Powers Sign Agreement
Allowing West Germany to Rearm;
Saar Dispute Settled in 11th Hour
By JOSEPH E. DYNAN
PARIS, UP)—The western allies
took defeated West Germany into
the defense fold Saturday after
France and her traditional enemy
wrote a hectic 11th hour compro
mise settlement of the long-fes
tering dispute over the Saar.
French Premier Mendes-France
and West German Chancellor
Konrad Adenauer initialed an
agreement to give the rich Saar
border area, German by language
and custom but closely tied to the
French economy, a “European”
status—at least until the long
awaited peace conference for a
reunified Germany.
This accord, which remained in
doubt almost to the last minute,
removed the final obstacle to the
signing of other Allied treaties
hammered out here this week and
in London last month.

Soviet Union Proposes
Big Four Meeting
To Reunify Germany
By STANLEY JOHNSON
MOSCOW, UP)—The Soviet Union
Saturday proposed a meeting of
the Big Four foreign ministers
next month to take up the prob
lem of reunifying Germany.
The proposal, which coincided
with the conclusion of meetings in
Paris Saturday bringing West
Germany into the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization (NATO), was
contained in notes to Britain,
France and the United States am
bassadors here by Soviet Foreign
Minister V. M. Molotov.
Insistence on holding such a
conference in effect rejected a
Sept. 10 demand by the Western
powers that the Soviet Union
agree to sign an Austrian inde
pendence treaty and to hold gen
uinely free all-German elections
before any such conference takes
place.
Abe Lincoln Figured in
Last Case of This Kind
CHICAGO, UP)—Mark Melhado,
30, filed a complaint in Superior
Court Friday lo'ng unheard in
Illinois courts.
The complaint for “protection
of the rights of infants” asked the
court to allow him to see his two
children. It was filed against his
estranged wife, Joan, 26.
The- last case on these grounds
filed in Illinois courts was in 1846.
It reached the Illinois Supreme
Court before the petition was de
nied.
The losing lawyer: Abraham
Lincoln.
I
and white state diningroom, the
foreign ministers of the western
Big Three then joined the Chan
cellor in signing an agreement to
end the Allied occupation of West
Germany and to restore all but
full sovereignty to the West Ger
mans.
A principal factor in winning
the new agreements was a prom
ise by the United States and Brit
tain to keep troops on the Euro
pean continent indefinitely. These
guarantees were given—to soothe
apprehensive Frenchmen—at the
London Conference late in Sep
tember at which the basic outlines
of Saturday’s agreements were
drawri'.
European foreign ministers fol
lowed up the sovereignty agree
ment with the signing of amend
ments to the 1948 Brussels Alli
ance, which established a “west
ern European union” linking
Britain, France, Belgium, Holland,
Luxembourg, West Germany and
Italy.
Their action, adding two former
enemy states to the original five
power treaty, replaced the ill
fated European army plan (EDC)
as a framework for West German
rearmament, less than two months
after the death of EDC in the
French National Assembly.
In Saturday’s treaty and with
their new sovereignty, the Ger
mans received the right to rearm.
The Wost Germans simul
taneously renounced war as an
instrument of national policy, par
ticularly in connection with
claims to lost areas in the east,
and stepped willingly into an
inter-Allied system setting strict
controls on the production of arms
and the movement of troops in
Germany for the rest of this cen
tury.
Another agreement fixed a ceil
ing of 12 divisions on the new
German army and placed it tight
ly under the orders of the su
preme Allied commander, Gen.
Alfred M. Gruenther. The Ger
mans also pledged themselves not
to use force to achieve the deeply
desired reunification of their
country.

£9,000 When Husband
Hears Wife Called Darling
DUBLIN, Ireland, UR—-Donald
Angus McKay phoned another
man’s wife—and the final bill
came to 9,000 pounds ($25,200).
The husband, bank official
Geoffrey O’Reilly, was accident
ally cut in on the call when he
phoned home from his office. He
heard McKay calling Mrs. O’Reilly
“darling” and joined the conver
sation.
When he got home that night
Mrs. O'Reilly had gone away with
McKay.
The story came out Friday in
Dublin’s High Court. O’Reilly
sued McKay for “criminal con
versation,” an old-fashioned form
of action dating from the time
when wives were regarded as
chattels.
A 12-man jury ordered McKay
to pay O’Reilly the 9,000 pounds

Indian Mother’s Patience
At End—Tot Is Doctor’s
CEDAR CITY, Utah, UR—An In
dian mother can only be so pa
tient.
For a month she had been re
turning weekly to a local hospital
to take home her baby daughter,
born prematurely and kept since
in the nursery.
Each time she was told by the
attending physician: “Wait until
next week.”
Then a week ago the doctor said
the tot could go home during the
week. But before the baby could
be picked up, the little girl caught
cold. The order was changed:
“Don’t let the baby go' or it will
likely die.”
This was all the patient Piute
mother could take, hospital offi
cials said.
“You tell doctor he have baby,”
she was quoted as saying. “We
moving, won’t be back.”
Attendants say the baby’s doing
fine now.

Nome Junior Police
Hears Capt. B. T. Holta
Of National Guard Friday
There was a very large atten
dance of the members of Nome
Junior Police at last Friday’s
meeting.
Capt. B. T. Holta, United States
National Guard, was greatly
pleased with the standing wel
come the boys gave him when he
entered the City Council Hall. He
joined them in pledging allegiance
to the flag and listened intently
to the Junior Police Pledge. The
giving of these pledges opens and
closes all their meetings.
Capt. Holta complimented the
members on their interest and
told them the Junior Police Pledge
was new to him. He thought it
was a good one and if always
followed, they would lay the
foundation for good citizenship.
He further addressed them on
the need of safety in the handling
of firearms—that Gen. Noyes, ad
jutant general, Alaska National
Guard, had issued instructions to
assist Nome Junior Police when
ever possible in the care of the
rifle and at target shooting. This
gives all members a chance to
learn the proper use of .22 calibre
rifles under the guidance of quali
fied instructors.
The captain answered questions
from the group regarding several
matters—all were pleased with
his talk.
Thirty-eight names will be for
warded to the National Rifle As
sociation, Washington, D.C., as
charter members of the Nome
Junior Police National Rifle Club.
Two meetings are being planned
for November—one for Junior Po
lice training and the other for
rifle training.
Mr. and Mrs. Brown furnished
“show” tickets, several given out
as rewards for special needs per
formed by certain members—one
being the picking up of paper on
Front Street.
Junior Police maintained safety
lines and order at the fire early
Sunday morning.
