Chief Justice
Warren Out Of
Amer. Bar Assoc.
CHICAGO, UP — The Board of
Governors of the American Bar
Association Friday night accepted
the resignation of Chief Justice
Earl Warren from the group.
* Warren, 67, the 14th Chief Jus
tice of the United States, had been
a member of the ABA for 28
years.
In a brief statement, Ross L.
Malone of Roswell, N. M., associa
tion president, said:
The resignation of Chief Justice
Earl Warren as a member of the
American Bar Association was ac
cepted today by the Board of Gov
ernors of the association.
“The termination of member
ship was in no way related to
dues. The Chief Justice has as
sured me that he will cooperate
with the association as he has done
in the past.
Malone did not elaborate.
The reference to dues in the
statement apparently was in an
swer to earlier reports that the
ABA had dropped Warren from
its roles for nonpayment of dues.
In Washington, an aide to War
ren said there would be no com
ment from the chief justice.
In the summer of 1957 the ABA
meeting in London approved a re
port sharply criticizing Supreme
Court decisions and called for new
legislation to tighten what it
called loopholes in the law deal
ing with Communists.
Warren attended the conven
tion and was reported by other
delegates as annoyed that the re
port was endorsed without any
outspoken opposition.
A FLAMING GOOD TIME !
KANSAS CITY, — A curious
two-year-old had to be carried
from his burning home three times
Friday.
Two older brothers and a sister
settled for one rescue each.
Mrs. Henry J. Schmidt saw
flames in the bedrom in which
four of her seven children were
playing. She guided the four chil
dren to safety, then called fire
men.
By the time firemen arrived
Henry, the youngest, had wan
dered back in for another look at
the fire. Fire Captain Prines Hol
land brought the child from the
smoke-filled rom only to have
him break loose and return for
still another look. Holland
scrambled after him and pulled
him to safety again.

! Colorado Oil Firm
i To Expand Gubik
Gas Resources
FAIRBANKS, OP) — Colorado
Oil and Gas Corporation is plan
ning an extensive exploration and
expansion program in Alaska, the
Denver firm’s president said Fri
day.
The company has acquired sub
stantial lease holdings on the Gu
bik gas structure and drilling rigs
from the Alaska Propane Com
pany, said W. C. Norman.
A 402-mile gas line costing
more thn 42 million dollars would
be built to link the Gubik fields
with Fairbanks if exploration
shows adequate reserves, he said.
Continued exploration will be con
tingent on receiving commitments
for use of natural gas at Alaskan
military bases, Norman said.
Clinton Brown, president of
Alaska Propane, said if all goes
well, Fairbanks housewives could
be “cooking with gas” by the fall
of 1961.
Use of natural gas would mean
a drop in Fairbanks’ high cost of
living through a reduction of about
50 per cent in fuel and heating
costs, Brown said, and would also
encourage industry to settle here.
Africans Plan Doping Wild
Animals To Save Them
From Rising Lake Waters
SALISBURY, Southern Rhode
sia, Iff) — Game wardens are plan
ning to shoot wild animals with
drug darts to rescue them from the
rising waters of Lake Kariba.
Covering 2,000 square miles, the
lake will be the world’s largest
artificial body of water when a
Zambesi River project is com
pleted. Lions, leopards, antelope,
buffalo and other animals are
taking refuge on islands being
formed as the water spreads.
Lands Minister A. R. W.
Stumbles explained that the darts
would be tipped with tranquiliz
ing drugs and the doped animals
ferried to safety.
LARCENY WITHOUT SHOES ? ?
KANSAS CITY, (ffl — A 16
year-old boy didn’t appear in
Jackson County juvenile court
for his hearing on a larceny
charge.
He couldn’t, an 18-year-old
brother explained, because he
didn’t have any shoes.
The brother told the court
there was only one pair of shoes
for himself, the 16-year-old and
their father to share. That’s why
the father wasn’t in court either.
The 18-year-old, who had fin
ished a term at the Negro Paren
tal School, wore the shoes to court
to ask for release from probation.
Judge Henry Riederer released
him.

MacMillan Visits
Khrushchev For
I ‘Understanding’
MOSCOW, OP — British Prime
Minister MacMillan flew into
Moscow today with a smile, a
gentle dig at his host, and a fur
hat that wowed the Russians.
Premier Khrushchev welcomed
him to the Soviet Union with a
speech full of friendly sentiment
and expressing hope for “a use
ful exchange of views.”
MacMillan and his foreign min
ister, Selwyn Lloyd, got a red car
pet reception upon their arrival
for talks they hope will ease world
tensions.
“I do not come to negotiate on
particular subjects,” MacMillan
said. “I do hope, however, that in
our talks together we shall at
least reach a better understanding
of our points of view.”
He recalled that his previous
visit to the Soviet Union was 30
years ago as an ordinary tourist.
Khrushchev arrived at the air
port eight minutes before MacMil
lan’s Comet four-jet plane touched
down minutes ahead of schedule.
He gave MacMillan a cordial
greeting in an impressive setting.
An honor color guard of officers
— their swords shimmering in the
sunlight — stood smartly at at
tention and a military band blared
the Soviet and British anthems.
Khrushchev said in welcoming
MacMillan that the Soviet Union
“believes in peaceful co-existence
among different social systems
and the lines of that policy re
main unchanged.”
The Soviet leader added “We
are a country now embarked on a
great building program and we
do not want war again. That would
be violating the purposes of such
a program.”

First Atomic Surface Ship
Readied By Russians
LONDON, 141 — The Soviet
Union says the world’s first atom
ic surface ship soon will be ready
to put to sea.
Moscow Radio gave some details
of the 16,000-ton icebreaker Lenin
which was launched at Leningrad
in December, 1957.
The broadcast said the Lenin,
which is completing dockside
tests, is powered by three atomic
reactors which can develop 44,000
horsepower.
CRASH BY HAND . . .
DETROIT, 141 — Earl Bradford’s

trapped. The car roared into life
and, dragging Bradford along, it
crashed through a wire fence, hit
a parked car, went through a ga
rage and another fence, and final
ly stopped when it hit a tree.
Bradford was hospitalized in
serious condition.

VISITOR FROM MAINE WRITES
POEM ABOUT NOME
'J'HE IMPRESSIONS OF a visitor who traveled from Maine to
Nome last fall, bringing, with other Chamber of Commerce
members, carloads of Maine products and merchandise which were
distributed in Anchorage. . . . Ot fhe group, only one came to Nome.
His name was George Morill, and those who met him remember the
man who wasted not a minute of his visit, making friends with
young and old, and learning all he could about the northern State.
From The Enterprise, newspaper of Lisbon Falls, Maine, comes
the following poem:
NOME REMEMBERED
By GEORGE MORILL
The other day I passed through Rome.
Its name reminded me of Nome.
(The Rome I Speak of here in Maine, while
Nome, of course, is on the Bering Sea.)
The story is that “Nome” was “Home”
’Til some cartographer did dimly see
The “H” and made it “N” instead.
I, however, having in the past months read of Vitus Beirng
And journied far to this still frontier land,
Was well content to breathe with awe
The heady scents of violent pasts which
Blend with wind and water on the Golden Strand —
Immune to cryptic errors and conscious only
Of remembered men and deeds in days long gone.
The traveler, weary of distances of land and sea
(Not time, for hours are now as months were then
When white men first set forth to conquer unknown ways) '
Stands alone in wonder at the sea, the land,
The shadow image of the town in falling snow,
Quiet, calm and sure, precisely outlined at the edge
Against the openness of land and slate gray sea on every hand.
From out the past appeared the wooden sailing ships
From Russia on the western shore of Bering Strait;
Fur hunters bent on exploration
Far beyond the frontier of their day —
Seeking furs and also knowledge of a passage ’twixt two
Continents, and Steller went ashore to find his Jay.
The vision faded, and in its place came one of miners
Landing on the golden beaches, mad for Gold,
Forgetting all their ties to other pasts
And sailing over seas to join the throng of thousands —
111 equipped — unmindful of but one word — “Gold”.
Forty thousand at one time vied together on this site
Where eighteen hundred now reside — then
One thought only in each mind —
Self, and self alone — all blind but to the lure of gold.
The gold rush passed, and on a later day two Nations,
Joined in war on common foe, shuttled armor through this
Vastness, ferried planes from West to East
Through Nome the place for changing crews.
Russians flew the planes to westward,
Planes to fight the German Beast.
Once again the beach was crowded,
Airborne hunters roamed the sky ’till the second world
war ended.
Once again the stream of History passed this frontier by
So today in frozen silence full three quarters of each year
Nome awaits another future, dimly seen at first,
then clear —
Man made harbors where there are none,
Unknown wealth in stockpiled gold
(Not the yellow stuff, but other minerals to be used
For purposes as yet undreamed, untold).
Harbors, highways, trade and commerce,
These are things the people speak of,
Citizens of Nome. — That day in Nome I shared
Their hopes — their visions —
Wished I were a great deal younger —
Unencumbered — free to wander —
But I am content to be at Home.
