Nude Subway Rider
Jolts New Yorkers
NEW YORK, UP—It was balmy
Monday afternoon, about 72 de
grees, and t^e Indenendent Sub
way terminal at 207th St. and
Broadway was the usual busy
place.
New Yorkers are noted for
minding their own business and
nobody seemed to notice when
Patrick Brady, 30, not wearing
as much as a hat or a wrist
watch, calmly boarded a down
town train. The car he sat in was
filling up with male and female
passengers.
One elderly gentleman happen
ed to look up from his newspaper
and spotted Grady. The gentle
man almost fell off his seat. That
did attract some attention. One
stare—at Grady—let to another
and there was much scurrying to
leave the car. The police were
called and someone thoughtfully
shut off the lights in the car.
Grady, smiling and calm and
saying nothing, was taken to a
hospital for observation.

Ceremonies Make
West Germany
Sovereign Nation
BONN, Germany, (#> — The
West German Republic became a
sovereign nation in alliance with
the free world Thursday. The
10-year Allied occupation ended
at noon.
Two short ceremonies wiped
out the supreme powers wielded
by the United States, Britain and
France over the 50 million West
German since 1945.
In the first, the Allied High
Commission repealed all its laws
and abolished itself by proclam
ation.
Then the British and French
high commissioners completed
the formality of depositing the
sovereignty treaty at Chancellor
Konrad Adenauer's office. The
United States and West Germany
did this on April 20.
The French and West German
governments simultaneously put
into effect their agreement to
Europeanize the Saar.
Sixty Allied laws and 130 or
dinances were repealed by the
proclamation, which was signed
by Dr. James B. Conant of the
! United States, Sir Frederick Hoy
| er Millar of Britain and Andre
| Francois-Poncet of France. They
I now become their nation’s am
! bassadors to the new republic.

To Marry Woman, 60
ANCHORAGE, (3—The oldest
man in the Air Force and his
bride-to-be kept their wedding
plans secret today—but they had
their license.
Master Sgt. Horst W. (Pop) Tit
tle, 70, and Mrs. Ethel Andrews}
60, of Orleans, Mass., picked up
the license after having filed their
application last week.
Tittel was in the spotlight sev
eral weeks ago in Washington
when he was sworn in personally
by Air Secretary Talbott for six
more years, to add to the 46 he
already has served.
Tittel and Mrs. Andrews met
several months ago when she
came north on a visit.
Tittel serves in the Information
Office of the Alaskan Air Com

vice and age, which few enlisted
men can match: he often rides
to work in the morning with his
theater commander, Maj. Gen.
George Acheson.

25 Greenland Fishermen
Escape From Drifting Ice
JAKOBSHAVN, Greenland,
— An exhausted group of 25
Greenland fishermen turned up
safely here Thursday after a
grim fight to escape from drift
ing ice floes. But a number of
others were reported still miss
ing.
The men were fishing last
Tuesday when the ice broke into
numerous floes which started
drifting toward the open sea.
Rescue teams carried dinghies
six miles overland to wait in the
vain hope winds and currents
would bring the floes near the
shoreline.
The 25 survivors reached safe
ty by jumping from one floe to
another and crawling through
shallow icy water.
The moon has no light, twi
light, no dawn, no sunrises or
sunsets, no clouds,' fogs, winds,
rain.
