Truman Intercedes On
Behalf of Man Arrested
For Carrying a Gun
INDEPENDENCE, Mo., M —
Harry S. Truman helped get a
release yesterday for a man who
was carrying a gun when he was
arrested near Truman’s office
Saturday.
Circuit Judge Ben Terte dis
missed a charge of carrying a
concealed weapon against Rich
ard Paul Goff, 33, of Altoona,
Pa., with the understanding Goff
will get mental treatment in a
Pennsylvania state hospital.
The judge was handed a letter
from Truman, who expressed the
hope the man could get medical
care. The former President wrote
that he talked with Goff and ap
parently the man had an irration
al belief Communists and police
were against him.
Goff told police he wanted to
talk to Truman Saturday about
getting a government job and was
carrying the gun to protect $600
he had in his pocket.
Geologic Map Of
Kateel Quadrangle
Now Available
A newly - published geological
map of the Kateel River quad-1
rangle—a possible oil province—
climaxes a couple of years of re
search and aerial photography by
the U.S. Geological Survey.
Located about 200 miles east of
Nome, the area depicted covers a
portion of the Yukon - Koyukuk
region. While no oil has yet been
found there, investors are inter
ested in the land as it possesses
types of formation in which oil
is very often found. .
U.S.G.S. reports that “thick
sequences of both sedimentary
and igneous rock, largely Cre
taceous and Tertiary in age, un
derlie the area. Folding is prom
inent and the axis of the more
prominent folds can be traced for
many miles. At least two ages of
faulting have been recognized in
the quadrangle.”
A brief text accompanying the
map describes the main struc
tural features and rock types.
The map is on a scale of four
miles to the inch. \
It. is entitled “Reconnaissance
Geologic Map of the Kateel
River Quadrangle, Alaska,” by
John T. Cass, and is on sale for
75 cents at the- Geological Survey,
520 Illinois St., Fairbanks.
New Missile;, the Sergeant,
Will Be Hard to Evade
CHICAGO, [S)—A new highly
mobile surface-to-surface ballis
tic guided missile with a range
to 10Q miles and the ability to
resist enemy counter-measures
has been developed by the Army.
Dr. William H. Martin, civilian
director of Army research and de
velopment, said the new missile,
the Sergeant, is not yet in use,
•but has been “successfully” tested
a number of times.
Martin said the new missile
uses a solid fuel, instead of the
liquid fuel used by the missile
it eventually will' replace, the
Corporal.
. “It can deliver a nuclear punch
deep into enemy lines, and its
extremely accurate guidance
system is invulnerable to any
known enemy counter-measures,”
he added.
Martin said the 30-foot-long
Sergeant has far greater mobility
than many other weapons of its
type and can be more easily
stored and readied for action.
