Will Shoot No Walrus
In Desert Flights
ALBUQUERQUE, UP) — With
tongue in cheek, fighter pilots
flying over the arid southwest
have given a solemn promise to
shoot no whales, walruses or sea
lfons.
National Air Defense Command
headquarters asked the 93rd
Fighter-Interceptor Sqdn. to pro
hibit its men using sea animals
as gunnery targets.
Lt. Col. Wind ell Whitehouse,
acting commanding officer of the
93rd, solemnly replied that his
squadron had been so ordered and
that no pilot “will be guilty of
molesting, shooting or killing a
whale, sea lion or walrus while
operating from this base” — a
mile above sea level and 550
miles from the nearest large body
of water.

Another Day of
Quiet On Quemoy
TAIPEI, (#) — Quemoy offshore
hostilities subsided into another
even-numbered day of quiet Sat
urday.
By early afternoon the Nation
alists had not taken advantage of
the no-shelling day to push an
other supply convoy across For
mosa Strait, although they sent
convoys on the other three no
shelling days last week.
The Nationalist Defense Min
istry refuses to report on convoy
sailings, giving military security
as the reason. However, Nation
alist officials are reluctant to an
nounce the convoys as a matter
of face, lest it be interpreted as
conforming to a Communist
schedule.

Wrong Way Driver
Kills Seven Persons
On Ohio Speedway
NORWALK,' Ohio, MP> — Alive
but incoherent, a wrong-way turn
pike driver was the only survivor
Saturday of a head-on collision
that killed seven persons. A state
patrolman was speeding to head
him off when the crash came.
Why was John M. Hines Jr., 41,
of Detroit, headed east in a west
bound lane? Ohio Turnpike offi
cials tried to piece together clues
but admitted it was guesswork.
Hines was reported in fair con
dition at a hospital, fcut in no
condition -to be interviewed.
Six members of a Jamestown,
N. Y., family and Hines’ passen
ger, Mrs. Claudia Brooks, 45, also
of Detroit, were killed in the
turnpike’s worst crash since it
opened October 1, 1955.
Patrolmen found an oil-stained
ticket indicating Hines had en
tered the turnpike at Exchange
No. 5, Stony Ridge. The time was
blurred. Stony Ridge is a little
east of Toledo, at Milepost 70,
counting eastward from the In
diana line.
There was no report of trouble
at Freemont Interchange No. 6,
at Milepost 92, nor at the service
plaza at Milepost 100.
But the patrol’s log shows a
patron stopped at Castalia Main
tenance Building, on the north
side between Milepost 107 and
108, to report an eastbound car
in the westbound lane. A radio
message went out at 11:20 p.m.
and the pike headquarters in Be
rea told a cruising car to give
chase. . '
Sgt. J. F. White estimated the
speeding cruiser reached within
three or four miles of the wrong
way car. At 11:25 the collision
occurred near Milepost 111.
