ALASKAN DOCUMENTS
TO BE MICROFILMED
BOISE, Idaho, Iff) — Another
geld rush in Alaska?
Dr. W. S. Jenkins of the Uni
versity of North Carolina is on
one, in a way. He calls it a
“gold rush for archives.”
The 56-year-old historian is
en route to the 49th state to
get the new state’s constitutional
and legislative documents on mi
crofilm right from the start.
It will be the first time any
body has had a chance to do that.
There were no microfilm methods
available when the other 48
states joined the union—even
when Arizona and New Mexico
came in in 1912.
Jenkins is director of the Uni
versity’s Bureau of Public Col
lections and Research at Chapel
Hill, N.C. He has about 33 miles
o microfilm already from a 1941
48 tour of the 48.
He says that mileage contains,
for example, copies of every mes
sage to state assemblies given
by every governor.
Jenkins says that having all
the records in one place gives
the scholar “armchair service.”
His tour is sponsored by the
university and the Library of
Congress. He stopped off here
Friday.

Prince Charles Named
Prince of Wales
LONDON, UP) — Queen Eliza
beth named her 9-year-old son,
Prince Charles, Prince of Wales
Saturday.
Buckingham Palace confirmed
the appointment after the queen
announced in a broadcast mes
sage at the conclusion of the Em
pire games at Cardiff, in Wales,
that she intended to do so.
Speaking to “all the Welsh
people,” the queen said:
“I intend to create my son
Charles Prince of Wales today.
When he is grown up I will
present Trim-'you at Caernar
von.”
Caernarvon is the reputed
birthplace of Edward. Ili first
prin.ee of.
The queen’s broadcast was re
corded Friday at Buckingham
Palace, where she is recovering
from an acute sinusitis attack.
The news was greeted by a
huge ovation and wild cheering at
the stadium in Cardiff where
athletes from all over the British
commonwealth have competed
throughout the week.
The newly named Prince of
Wales watched the closing cere
monies of the games on tele
vision at Cheam School, where he
is a student, and heard the
queen’s message broadcast.
The last to hold the title of
Prince of Wales was King Ed
ward VIII, who abdicated in
1936 and now is Duke of Windsor.
The Duke of Edinburgh already
had informed his young son of
the step to be taken.
The prince, who will be 10 in
November, is finishing his first
year at Cheam, his father’s pre
paratory school, near Newbury.
The queen’s mention of Caer
narvon in her announcement was
a reference to Caernarvon Cas
tle in Wales, traditionally associ
ated with the presentation and
investure of those who hold the
title.
The effect of Saturday’s an
nouncement is that the heir to
Britain’s throne no longer will
be Prince Charles, Duke of Corn
wall, but will be called, formally,
Prince of Wales. He will not be
invested in the near future.
Elliot Runs Seventh
Sub-Four Minute Mile
CARDIFF, Wales, UP> — Herb
Elliott of Australia captured the
British Empire Games mile Sat
urday with his seventh sub-four
minute clocking. *His time was
3:59.
Elliott, a 20-year-old wonder
runner who twice has bettered
John Landy’s official mark of
3:58, won by 25 yards from an
other Australian, Merv Lincoln,
with Aussie Albert Thomas third.
Lincoln was timed in 4:01.9
and Thomas, who holds the world
three-mile record, finished in
4:03.9.
Elliott’s time was two-tenths
of a second slower than the
Empire Games record of 3:58.8
set by Britain’s Roger Bannister
—the first four-minute miler—
in his memorable duel with
Australia’s John Landy at Van
couver in 1954.
Thor Intermediate
Range Missile Explodes
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., UV—
A Thor intermediate range bal
listic missile burst apart with a
violent roar high in the sky early
Saturday shortly after launching.
The missile streaked aloft at
at 1:40 a.m. but a minute and 10
seconds later it exploded into
two pieces with a brilliant flash
of orange flame.
The two sections plunged into
the ocean about five miles from
the launching site streaming
trails of flame and smoke.
The cause of the explosion was
not known immediately.
It was the 17th Thor fired in
a stepped-up program aimed at
developing the missile for opera
tional capabilities by December.
The missile reportedly was
launched toward an impact area
1,500 miles out in the Atlantic.

Amateur Boxing King
Beaten In Second
Pro Fight Attempt
LOS ANGELES, UR — The
strange saga of Pete Rademacher
must be over—or is it?—while
Zora Folley stands out today as
the top contender for a crack at
the World Heavyweight champion
ship.
Big Pete tried his hand at pro
fessional fighting for the second
time last night, and it was even
worse than the first.
The dangerous hitting Folley
knocked the former amateur king
out in one minute 15 seconds of
the fourth round.
It took Floyd Patterson, the
world titleholder, six rounds to do
it at Seattle last August.
Folley, who had promised to
beat Patterson’s mark, had the
29-year-old Pete from Columbus,
Ga., down four times in all.
On the last knockdown, executed
before 7100 fans at the Olympic
Auditorium, referee Charlie Ran
dolph didn’t bother to finish the
count.
“He’s still as green as he was as
an amateur,” said 26-year-old
Zora, who split a pair of decisions
with Pete when they were ama
teurs.
Sportsman Rademacher was
high in praise of Folley.
“Frankly,” said Pete, “Patter
son was nothing like this fellow.
He had real power—and he was
very good with his head.”
Rademacher referred to the
only controversy of the scheduled
10-rounder. He inferred that
Folley, accidentally or otherwise,
butted him in the second round.
, The referee called it a punch,
and to some ring observers, it
seemed more likely that when
Rademacher’s long right slipped
over Folley’s shoulder, they sim
ply collided with a bang.
In any event, Folley was never
in trouble, and it took but one
short right chop to the jaw that
traveled hardly 12 inches to
start Pete on the downhill road
This was in the third round.
Some sleep-walkers can act,
speak and have the sense of
touch, sight and hearing even
though they are still asleep.

Beauty New
Miss Universe
LONG BEACH, Calif., UP)—A
flashing-eyed Latin beauty who
has never been kissed—for real—
is the new Miss Universe.
She is Luz Marina Zuloaga, 19,
of Manizales, Columbia.
“Only that actor kissed her,”
said her mother, Margarita, after
her daughter was crowned Miss
Universe of 1959 at ceremonies
Friday night. “That actor,” was
cowboy actor Hugh O’Brian,
who kissed the dark-eyed senor
ita last Monday when she toured
a Hollywood studio.
Her predecessor, Gladys Zen
der of Peru, was there Friday
night—and was the only one on
the stage who cried when the
winner was announced.
The four-runners-up seemed
delighted with the way things
turned out. They are, in order:
Miss Brazil, Adalgisa Colombo,
18, of Rio De Janeiro, who de
clared “I am very happy just to
be where I am.”
Miss Hawaii, tall Chinese
Hawaiian Gero Hoo, 18, of Hono
lulu. She said she had had eight
different offers for television,
movie and nightclub opportunities
and couldn’t be happier.
Miss U.S.A. Eyrlyne Howell,
18, Bossier City, La., who drawled
“I think it’s wonderful bein’
third runner-up. I never did
expect to win.”
The new Miss Universe sat
upon the throne, a pearl-studded
crown on her head and a scepter
in her hand, as successive platoons
of photographers jammed in to
take her picture.
Her mother, a widow, watched
smiling as the flashbulbs lit up
the girl’s dark-haired beauty.
Like her mother, Luz speaks
no English. She accepted the
crown \yith the simple English
words, “thank you.”
Luz has a flawless olive com
plexion, flashing black eyes, and
at 5 feet 4 inches is the shortest
of the 15 girls who reached the
semi-finals.
Her home in Manizales is in the
foothill coffee country of Colum
bia, some 50 miles south of the
capitol, Gogota. She is a graduate
of a catholic girl’s school in the
town.
