Vermont Lass Wins
Miss UJS.A. Title
With 35 - 24 • 35
LONG BEACH, Calif., UH— Miss
Vermont, the prettiest Republican
you ever saw, today is Miss ILS.A.
Carlene King Johnson of Rut
land won the crown last night
over 14 other pretty finalists. The
runnersup were the Misses Ar
kansas, Nebraska, California and
Georgia.
Miss Johnson, a 22-year-old
blue-eyed blonde who looked 16,
is also the prettiest business
woman you ever saw. She runs
her own jewelry business in Rut
land.
Two years ago she was Miss
Vermont in the Miss America
pageant at Atlantic City but only
placed 13th. She enters the Miss
Universe semifinals here tonight.
Asked if she were a traditional
Vermont Republican, she replied:
“Is there any other kind?”
She admits to being a real con
servative Down-Easter but there
is nothing conservative about her
face and figure. Doll - like, she
stands 5-feet-8 in her high heels
with the perfect Miss Universe
measurements—bust and hips the
same at 35 inches and the waist
11 inches smaller at 24.

* FAIRBANKS, Ub—Governor B.
Frank Heintzleman believes after
two months in Washington sound
ing out the political atmosphere
that Alaska’s mental health bill
has a good chance of passing if
it can reach the floor of the
House of Representatives.
He reported on his arrival here
yesterday he had conferred with
Rep. A.L. Miller, (R-Neb) who
is on a committee which present
ly serves as a repository for the
bill. The measure would transfer
treatment of the mentally ill to
the territory. The government
now sends them to Portland, Ore.,
away from their homes and fam
ilies.
Heintzleman said Miller still is
raising objections to a six and a
half million dollar appropriation
for construction of mental hos
pitals in Alaska.
“His arguments were not very
convincing,” the territorial gov
ernor said.
“A matching fund arrangement
was suggested but I objected to
that. There’s no reason why the
federal government shouldn’t
make the appropriation. It is over
a 10 year period. There has been
more widespread interest in this
bill than any other except state
hood.”
He also reported many con
gressmen have promised to sup
port a proposal that the Interior
Department release the Gubik
gas fields.
He said Delegate Bartlett’s bill
to set up a buying station for
Alaska tin “is important.”
“It is ridiculous,” Heintzleman
commented, “for the United
States to be 100 per cent depend
ent on foreign tin when we ob
viously have a supply for devel
opment in the territory.”
The governor expects to visit
Mt. McKinley National Park, Kot
i zebue, Nome and Anchorage be
fore returning to Juneau.

j Tokyo Kidnaper Nabbed
As He Reaches for Ransom
For Comedy Star’s Kids
TOKYO, (#—Police clasped the
handcuffs on a 37-year-old unem
ployed school teacher just as he
reached for a kidnap ransom
package at midnight.
An hour later they rescued his
unharmed victim, the six-year-old
son of stage, screen and television
comedy star Toni Tani.
It ended Japan’s most sensa
tional kidnaping case and the na
tion’s greatest postwar manhunt.
Tadahiko Miyasaka admitted to
police that he had kidnaped Ma
sami Tani from his primary school
last Friday to get money to start
a magazine.
Miyasaka was jailed and was
charged with kidnaping. Maxi
mum penalty under Japanese law
is ten years imprisonment. Auth
orities said the fact the boy had
not been harmed probably would
result in a lesser sentence.
Police found Masami in an ap
ple orchard, sleeping under a
mosquito net with the kidnapper’s
own two young children.
Preliminary examination indi
cated the kidnaped boy had not
been harmed, had been treated
well and fed well. The boy him
self said he had enjoyed his six
days captivity picking apples, dig
ging potatoes, and swimming and
playing “with my new friends.”
Senator Calls Wasteful
Army Plan to Sell
Surplus File Folders
WASHINGTON, Sen. Ken
nedy (D-Mass) said today he has
learned the Army sought recently
to sell as “surplus” a $450,000
supply of stiff paper file folders—
enough to supply the entire fed
eral government’s needs for the
item for 15 to 18 years.”
Kennedy said one of his aides
figured the seven million folders
probably would be a 50-year sup
ply for the Army. Saying that
sounds wasteful, he said he will
ask for some explanation of why
a stock that big was bought.
Kennedy told a reporter that
Max Elliottt, general counsel to
the General Services Administra
tion, told of the incident at a
hearing on a surplus property
disposal bill before a government
operations subcommittee which
Kennedy heads.
Actress Stabs Herself
Because Fiance Refused
To Set Wedding Date
LOS ANGELES, (Jt—Police say
actress Eve Miller stabbed herself
because her fiance refused to set
their wedding date.
Actor Glase Lohman told offi
cers he informed Miss Miller, 31,
Wednesday night that he couldn’t
marry her until he was financially
able. He said she told him:
“You’ll be sorry—because you
will find me dead in the morn
ing.”,
He" said he heard her scream
and fall as he was leaving her
home. He summoned police. They
said the actress apparently had
stabbed herself in the abdomen
with a paring knife.
She was taken to the hospital
in critical condition and under
went four hours of surgery.
Miss Miller, whose real name is
Marilyn Miller, starred with Kirk
Douglas in a picture called “The
Big Trees,” Lohman said. He told
police he met her a year ago and
they became engaged eight
months ago.

Air Force Secretary
Denies Improper Profit
From Business Interest
WASHINGTON, tf*-Sen. Mc
Clellan (D-Ark) said today a Sen
ate inquiry is “still open” into a
profitable business interest which
Secretary of the Air Force Talbott
has offered to give up if the sena
tors think he should.
Talbott told the Senate Investi
gations subcommittee yesterday
he has reaped no “improper”
profit as a partner in the New
York efficiency firm of Paul B.
Mulligan & Co., some of whose
clients hold government contracts.
He said his “special partner
ship” in the Arm pays him more
than $50,000 a year. McClellan
put it at $60,000. The Air Force
secretary’s salary is $18,000.
Talbott said he has given up all
the other business interests he
held when named secretary of the
Air Force in early 1953. He said
he had outlined the Mulligan ar
rangement to the Senate Armed
Forces Committee when it was
considering his nomination then.
