Photo of Diplomat,
Bare-Chested Girls
Starts British Row
LONDON, liD—A picture of a
smiling British diplomat hand in
hand with two bare-breasted Bor
neo girls touched off a row Satur
day between two London news
papers.
The diplomat is Malcolm Mac
Donald, commissioner general for
Southeast Asia, whose job is to
coordinate British policy in the
area.
The controversial photo, splashed
over six columns of the tabloid
Daily Mirror, showed him walk
ing on a beach with the dusky
daughter and niece of a Dayak
chief in the headhunting country
of northwest Borneo. The girls
wore only necklaces above the
waist.
A columnist of the conservative
Daily Telegraph first mentioned
the picture two days ago, saying
it showed the “transgression of
limits to which policy justifies the
discarding of dignity.”
The Mirror jumped to Mac
Donald’s defense Saturday with
an editorial blasting the Tele
graph’s attitude as “babyish.”
"The truth is,” said the Mirror,
"that it is hot in them parts.”
In Singapore, where MacDonald
has his headquarters, Canon R. K.
S. Adams, principal of the col- !
only’s St. Andrew School, said,
“There is nothing indecent about
the picture in relation to the place
where it was taken. . . . Mr. Mac
Donald is doing a great service in
winning the friendship and trust
of Asians so freely.”
Ike Bags Duck Limit in
In Half Hour, Then
Gets Five Pheasants
TOLEDO, Ohio, liPl—President
Eisenhower was in Ohio over the
weekend as the guest of Secretary
of the Treasury George Hum
phrey for a round of Lake Erie
marshland duck hunting off Mau
mee Bay, 14 miles east of Toledo.
The Chief Executive fired at
ducks Friday for the first time in
20 years and brought down the
daily legal limit of four in the
first half hour of shooting.
Thus foreclosed from further
duck hunting that day, the Presi
dent trained his sights—in the
secluded Cedar Point Club area—
on pheasants, on which there was
no limit. He bagged five in 2V4
hours.

Merchants And Nanooks
Bow To Army and Air
Force In Hoop Opener
A good crowd of about 200 was
on hand to initiate the first regu
lar basketball game of the sea
son last Friday night. The Army
Bruins lived up to their pre-sea
son exhibition showing by drop
ping the Nome-Merchants 68-57.
The hot shooting Bruins were
in control from the start and even
though they held the command
ing edge all through the game it
was no runaway. The Merchants,
with only five men, staged a de
termined battle, but the difference
in height and in reserve strength
of the Army proved too much for
them. Roberts, the high point
man, contributed 20 points to the
Army score, and Williams and
Nershak made 13 points apiece
for the Merchants. Quarter scores
were: 14-12, 32-19, 56-33, 68-57.
In the second game, the Air
Force nosed out the determined
Nome Nanooks team 49-48. It was
a fast, action-filled game with
both teams battling down to the
final whistle. High point man for
the Jets was Jackson with 17
points and for the Nanooks, Will
oya made 14 points with Herman
following close behind with 11.
Referees for the second game
were Honner and Roberts.
The new rule on common foul
shots was used in the second
game and will be used from now
on. It is that on foul shots, the
player will get a second bonus
shot if the first is successful. This
rule emphasizes better marksman
ship on the foul line and will
make for less fouling.
“Boiler Kid” Dies in
In Iron Lung Where
He Lived I8V2 Years
MIAMI BEACH, Fla., UP)—The
body of Fred B. Snite Jr., sealed
in the iron lung in which the
famed “boiler kid” died, awaited
removal to Chicago Saturday for
funeral services that will signal
ize the end of a valiant fight
against a crippling disease.
The brave victim of infantile
paralysis died in the iron lung
Friday at West Palm Beach where
he had gone the day before to
take part in a bridge tournament.
He had lived in an iron lung
longer than any other person—18
years and 7 months, the greater
part of his adult life.
The body was encased in the
large metal cylinder, loaded upon
its special bus, and returned to
Miami Beach, where the Snite
family maintains an estate.

Russia Constructing
Arctic Research Station
LONDON, (At—Russia announced
Friday the construction of a re
search station in the arctic, there
by strengthening the theory that
the Soviets may be setting up mil
itary and atomic bases in that vi
tally strategic region of the world.
Moscow Radio did not specify
where the station is being built
but said the recommendation to
establish it came from a group of
geophysicists who’ve spent four
years on the Kola Peninsula.
The Kola Peninsula, a portion
of which lies north of the Arctic
Circle, is strategically close to
northern Norway.
i
U.S. and S. American
Countries Exchange Notes
On Antarctic Plans
WASHINGTON, Wt—The State
Department said Friday Argen
tina, Chile and Britain have noti
fied the United States they will
send no war ships to the Antarctic
this year.
In turn, the department said in
a statement, the U.S. government
informed these three countries
no American vessels except one
previously announced would sail
the South Polar seas.
Such exchanges of information
on Antarctic plans have become
traditional among these govern
ments, each of which has a claim
on the territory. The idea is to
avoid any misunderstanding.
The summer White House at
Denver announced on Oct. 2 that
the U.S. Navy icebreaker Atka
would conduct mapmaking and
research operations in the area,
with no permanent shore base
established.
This announcement apparently
was the basis for rumors, flatly
denied by the State Department
and the Atomic Energy Commis
sion, that the U.S. contemplated
testing hydrogen bombs in the
Antarctic. The rumors had occa
sioned much controversy in New
Zealand elections last week.
