YOUNG COUPLE CANCEL
HONEYMOON TO NIAGARA
SYRACUSE, N.Y., UP)—A depu
ty sheriff noticed the couple on a
sleek power cruiser moored in
Onondaga Lake and inquired
where they were headed.
A honeymoon to Niagara Falls,
the two explained politely.
The “bride” had spent her
dowry—42 cents—on lunch for
the “bridegroom” but that didn’t
bother them. They planned to live
on the fish they caught, at least
until they got to Niagara Falls,
Deputy Arthur Willis reported.
Nevertheless, the honeymoon
was- postponed indefinitely and
the 'sweethearts—each aged 8—
returned to their homes.

Aviation in U.S.
Switches Over to
Nautical Mile
WASHINGTON, WT—Aviation
in the United States officially
switched over at midnight Thurs
day from the statute mile to the
king-sized nautical mile and the
knot.
The quiet changeover follows
several years of bitter wrangling
over the step to standardize mili
tary and civil flying.
While commercial airlines will
have to figure speed and distance
in knots and aeronautical miles,
non-airline aircraft, including pri
vate pilots, may continue report
ing in the present terms of miles
and miles per hour if they wish.
The- Civil Aeronautics Adminis
tration said it will normally give
information as to speed and dis
tance in ground and air commu
nication in nautical units, but on
specific request also will transmit
them in statute units.
(One nautical, or geographical,
or sea, mile is equivalent to 1.1516
statute miles. The nautical mile
is taken as 6080.20 feet in the
United States.I

their spare time (about 600 hours)
since last fall. The reason for this
diligence and patience has been
the hope of earning one of the

State Delegates Warned
Federal May Give Up Role
Of “Great White Father”
SUN VALLEY, Idaho, (ff)—Del
egates from 16 states were warned
Thursday the federal government
may soon be giving up the role of
“Great White Father” it has been
playing for more than a century
toward the American Indians.
The warning came from Allen
P. Jeffries of Boise, chairman of
the Governors’ Interstate Indian
Council at the opening of the
organization’s seventh national
meeting.
“There are some congressmen
who would like to immediately
terminate all federal jurisdiction,
all federal services and,repeal all
bills having anything to do with
Indian citizens,” Jeffries said.
Congress is moving rapidly
away from Indian control and
assistance, Jeffries added, and “if
thd states do not enter the picture
in the planning stages, they may
find themselves in a situation
where the only change has been
the transfer of the federal pro
gram to the state level.”
New Weapons May
‘Destroy the U.S.’
Atom Expert Warns
WASHINGTON, MV- A fore
most exponent of atomic and air
power urges that America push
for an enforced system of disarm
ament lest the weapons of today
and tomorrow “destroy the United
States.”
Thomas K. Finletter, former
secretary of the Air Force, listed
atomic and hydrogen bombs, fu
ture “superhydrogen” bomb and
“cobalt” bombs among weapons
existing or in prospect and said:
“Applied science for destruction
is wholly out of hand; it is like a
wild tiger running about the city
streets.”
In a book summing up his
views—“Power and Policy,” pub
lished Thursday by Harcourt,
Brace & Co.—Finletter said the
United States must create air
atomic power even greater than
Russia’s to deter the Soviets from
an attack on the United States.
But this country also' should
work with “utmost energy and
determination to find some way
of preventing atomic war—some
new way in addition to the man
euverings of diplomacy and the
maintenance of armed strength,”
he wrote.
