MeKinstry Elected
President of
Lomen Company
WASHINGTON, UPV—’The U. S.
Court of Appeals has reversed the
contempt of Congress conviction
of Marcus Singer, Cornell Univer
sity zoology professor who re
fused to name one-time Commu
nist associates.
The appellate court, in throw
ing out Singer’s conviction and
ordering his acquittal, said its ac
tion was based on the Supreme
Court’s decision June 28 in the
Watkins case.
In throwing out Singer’s con
viction, the appellate court set
aside its own judgment made in
April, which had affirmed the
lower court’s verdict.
Singer was convicted by U.S.
District Judge Burnita S. Mat
thews, who fined him $100 and
gave him a suspended jail sen
tence of three months.
Singer 'has remained on the
Cornell faculty pending the out
come of his case. He has not,
however, been assigned to teach
ing duties since his indictment
but has devoted his time to re
search.
This is the first contempt con
viction to be reversed in this jur
isdiction as a result of the Wat
kins decision.

Disabled Jet Land on
Opposite Sides of River
FAIRBANKS, I#—A pilot and
radar observer who parachuted
from their disabled jet fighter
yesterday were found unhurt on
apposite sides of the Salcha River
55 miles southeast of here.
Altho separated by only a short
distance, they could not see one
another in the rough country.
They parachuted from their
F-89 jet at 8:30 a.m., shortly after
the pilot reported smoke in the
cockpit. Radar screens showed
the two men had jumped and a
search was begun.
The wreckage was found about
two hours later about 20 miles

later sighted the fliers and they
were picked up by a helicopter

Senate Debate on Civil Rights Bill
May Last More Than Eight Weeks
WASHINGTON, OP)—Sen. Know

senhower yesterday the current
debate on civil rights legislation
may continue four to eight weeks
and possibly longer.
Knowland, the Senate Republi
can leader, told newsmen Eisen
hower is “fully informed regard
ing the implications” of such a
lengthy debate with respect to
possibility of congressional action
at this session on other adminis
tration bills.
Knowland said there certainly
will be Senate action on some
other legislation after conclusion
of the civil rights debate. But he
added it also is likely that some
administration measures might]
have to be put on the shelf in j
Congress until next year.
Knowland and other GOP con- [
gressional leaders discussed the
civil rights situation in the Senate j
at their regular Tuesday morning |
meeting with Eisenhower.
They met at the White House
as Senate Republicans girded for
around-the-clock sessions which

By Washouts Following
Four Days of Rain
EDMONTON, Alta., 0P>—1Thru
traffic on the Alaska Highway
came to a standstill Monday when
heavy nains in the Yukon caused
two washouts.
The 1,527-mile gravelled high
way was closed officially and the
Alberta Travel Bureau said it
may be four or five days before
it is re-opened. Some light traffic
to and from Alaska was moving
thru Dawson City, Y.T., skirting
the washouts.
The base of a bridge at Mile
1,151—mileage is measured from
the Dawson Creek, B.C.„ starting
point—was washed away by the
heavy rains and at the 1,200-mile
point, part of the highway itself
was swept away.
The weather office here said
rain has fallen almost continu
ously in the southern Yukon for
the last four days. Some points
recorded more than two inches of
rain.
Legal Forms at The Nome Nugget

stiffen their resistance to bring
ing the House-approved bill offi
cially before the Senate.
Senate debate on a motion by
Knowland to make the measure
the Senate’s pending business be
gan Monday. Knowland said he
is hopeful the Senate will vote by
Saturday on that motion.
The California senator made it
clear that he looks for more ex
tensive debate if and when the
Senate does vote to make the bill
its pending business.
Eisenhower has called it a de
cent bill and a moderate one.
House GOP leader Martin said
there is a possibility the House
might recess after concluding its
legislative business if the Senate
civil rights debate is still going on.
Martin added that he saw no
reason why Eisenhower, too.
