Batista Read Everything
On Abraham Lincoln
FLAT ROCK, N. C., UP) — For
a dictator, Juan Fulgencio Batista
had curious reading tastes — any
thing and everything about free
dom-loving Abraham Lincoln.
Carl Sandburg said Monday he
autographed two four-volume sets
of his work, “Abraham Lincoln:
The War Years,” for Batista sev
eral years ago.
“He read all about Lincoln I
could tell him,” said the poet-nov
elist-philosopher.
“And it did him no good,” Sand
burg commented with a grin, re
ferring to Batista’s downfall at
the hands of rebel leader Fidel
Castro.
Sandburg, interviewed on his
81st birthday at his mountain
country home here, appeared in
excellent health.
The Illinois-born poet concluded
the interview with a “Hurrah for
Castro.”

Nat. Guard Five
Stops ANB In
Friday Tilt
Last Friday night the National
Guard basketball five came up
with one of their better efforts and
knocked the ANB into submission
by the count of 51-36. In the sec
ond contest the High School licked
the Polar Hornets 46-27.
In the first event, Bill Caldwell
came up with his best game of
the year for the Guard five, with
some 21 points and fine rebound
ing. Dave and Johnny Bell both
hit for ten. For the losers Harold
Bell attempted to stem the tide
with a fine floor game and twelve
points, followed by Gil Ozenna
and Gary Longley, with 6 and 7
respectively.
The High School showed good
coordination in their victory as
Ed Maloney hit for nineteen, and
Chuck Fagerstrom rammed in
eleven for the winners.
The Polar Hornets were close
throughout, but lost pace near the
end of the third quarter. Clyde
Nershak and Roy Luke led the
losers with eight apiece.
Ralph and Ann Zweigle are the
parents of a daughter born on Jan
uary 5th at the MMM Hospital.

1st West Coast
Satellite Launching
Ready In Calif.
LOS ANGELES, UPt — A 1,300
pound satellite — the first ever
to be launched on the West Coast
— is on its pad at Vandenberg
Air Force Base.
Some time within the next few
days, Projecf Discoverer will be
under way, headed for a pole-to
pole orbit.
A dozen or more Discoverer
satellites will be launched from
the California coast this year,
each of them carrying hundreds
of pounds of instruments to tell
man what he will face when he
ventures into space. Some also
will carry mice, and, later, mon
keys. V
The Discoverer satellites will
be pointed southward to orbit
around the earth from pole to
pole. The first few are expected
to stay aloft for only a matter of
I hours before they plummet back,
to burn up in the earth’s atmos
phere.
Before they do, however, they
will eject a capsule, containing
instruments — and any animal
passengers — which can be re
covered by Air Force and Navy
search crews.
The first satellites will be pow
ered by a Thor missile topped by
a smaller Bell-Hustler rocket.
But before long the Thor-plus
booster is expected to be replaced
with mighty Atlas missiles.
Vandenberg Air Force Base is
170 miles north of Los Angeles.
Eddie Fisher TV Show
To be Dropped by Sponsor
HOLLYWOOD, UPi — Eddie
Fisher’s television show will be
dropped March 17.
His sponsor — a tobacco firm
— didn’t pick up the options on
his contract, a spokesman for the
crooner said Monday.
An unofficial network source for
the National Broadcasting Co. said
“It’s strictly a matter of low
ratings.”
The hour-long show is opposed
by top-rated western on other
networks.
