Russians Really
‘Dig’ American
Humor Says Hope
NEW YORK, W) — Comedian
Bob Hope came home Saturday
from a week’s visit to Moscow
and reported the Russians like
American clothes, rock’n’roll mu
sic and even humor.
He found them quite touchy on
the subject of “American Sput
niks,” however, and added they
didn’t seem to “dig” some of the
Hope-type wiscrackery.
He termed the visit very inter
esting and said: “I wouldn’t have
missed it for anything. It’s an
amazing picture there. It looked
like a casting lot for ‘Lost Hori
zon’ or a Charlie Chan picture.
There were about 40 different
types of people.
“The Russians are interested in
American entertainment. They
like American humor. They dig
most of the jokes. They watch us
closely. They are wearing our
clothing and they, would like to
have more.”
Hope filmed a television show
while in Moscow—the first U.S.
entertainer ever to do so. The
film—or whatever parts of it the
Russians don’t frown upon—is to
be televised in this country on
April 5.
Hope said Soviet interpreters
and a technical crew were as
signed to the filming. The tech
nicians who processed the film
held it 36 hours and then made
“suggestions” as to how it might
be used or cut, he said. As for
the visit in general, Hope said:
“They gave us great treatment
all the way.”

! Colin Kelly III
Will Follow Father
I To West Point
CHESTER HEIGHTS, Pa., \ffy—
“Corky” Kelly, son of one of the
nation’s first heroes of World
War II, has decided he wants to
follow the footsteps of his father
to the U.S. Military Academy at
West Point.
Corky, formally known as
Colin P. Kelly III, is a 17-year
old high school senior on whose
behalf President Franklin D.
Roosevelt in 194*1 wrote a letter
to “the President of the United
States in 1958.”
The letter, written when Corky
was 16 months old, asked that the
“merits of a young American
youth of goodly heritage” be con
sidered for appointment to the
academy “as a token of the na
tion’s appreciation of the heroic
services of his father,” Army Air
Force Capt. Colin P. Kelly Jr.
Capt. Kelly, flying a B-17 out
of Clark Field in the Philippines
in the early days of the war, first
was credited with sinking the
Japanese battleship Haruna. It
turned out later, however, that
his target was the heavy cruiser
Ashigara, which was not sunk.
Corky lives in this suburban
Philadelphia community, with his
mother and stepfather, Dr. and
Mrs. J. Watson Pedlow, who dis
closed Corky’s intentions today.
But West Point is probably
more than a year off for Corky.
Mrs. Pedlow said that in prepar
ation for possible appointment,
Corky has been accepted by an
unnamed college where he plan
ned a year of study before enter
ing the academy.
Corky’s record speaks for him.
The six-foot two-inch youngster
is president of the study body at
Westtown Friends School, has a
high academic rating and has
achieved Eagle Scout rank in the
Boy Scouts.

Elvis Presley
Inducted Into
Army Today
MEMPHIS, Term., —Sleepy
eyed from an all - night open
house at his suburban mansion,
Elvis Presley reached draft board
headquarters half an hour early
today to begin a 2-year hitch in
the Army.
The teen-agers’ rock’n’roll idol,
elegant in dark blue trousers and
subdued check jacket, was filled
with cheerful wisecracks. He
mounted a quick but fruitless
campaign for recruits among the
crowd of newsmen.
Presley, 23, was accompanied
by his parents. He carried a pig
skin shaving kit case. His black
hair, normally swept in a luxur
iant ducktail cut with long side
burns, brustled up in a modified
crew.
Fifteen police officers were de
tailed to the downtown building
where the draft board is located.
However, the crowd on hand was
small. Not only was it 7 a.m., but
a steady drizzle was falling.
In the drab draft board office
Presley and 11 other inductees
answered rollcall.
Presley, a phenomenon in en
tertainment circles, will be in uni
form tomorrow unless an unex
pected hitch develops.
As a $78 a month private he
will take quite a salary cut. x
During his brief career, Presley
turned out 20 gold records sig
nifying sales of over a million
each, plus two album trophies for
albums that sold a million each.
Arrivals at the airfield are en
joying a real Eskimo Igloo built
by Boy Scout Explorer Post 766
as part of their survival training.
Snow blocks were carefully cut
and shaped by the Scouts who
had been instructed by Roy Sny
der.

National Archives Ask
$60,000 to Microfilm
Confederate Records
WASHINGTON, W-Some old
soldiers, especially Confederates,
never fade away so far as the
National Archives are concerned.
A House appropriations sub
committee was asked for $60,000
to start microfilming cards which
contain the military service rec
ords of Confederate veterans.
“There has been a great de
mand for such data from the
Southern states which did not get
this kind of information from the
federal government after the
Civil War,” U.S. Archivist Wayne
C. Grover told the subcommittee.
He said once the cards were
filmed, copies could be prepared
inexpensively for the 12 or 13
states interested and ultimately
the National Archives would have
fewer requests for information.

Shorts Banned for Coeds,
And Sacks Recommended
WOODLAND HILLS, Calif., Iff*
—Coeds short-shorts are so short
at Pierce Junior College that no
one’s paying attention to the pro
fessors.
So, starting April 7, all trouser
like garb will be banned for 2,000
women students.
“It started with slacks and blue
jeans,” says Mrs. Marjorie Lord,
assistant dean of student activi
ties, “then went on to Bermuda
and Jamaica shorts.
“When they started wearing
the shortest short-shorts they
could find, it was too much. Not
many girls wore them, but when
they did no one paid attention to
the professors. The situation just
got out of hand.”
The ban was decreed by women
student leaders, who suggested
the new sacklike chemise dresses
as replacements.
