Two-Headed Baby
Is Thriving, But
Puzzles Doctors
INDIANAPOLIS, Iff) — A two
headed, four-armed baby, already
twice as old as any previous re
corded case of its kind, was thriv
ing today as doctors puzzled over
its future.
The four-day-old boy is at the
Indiana University Medical Cen
ter. It is taking nourishment in
both mouths, and the intestinal
tract is functioning normally. Its
chances for survival are consid
ered good.
The baby has two names, the
44-year-old father said he gave
the name Donald Ray to “the best
one” and the name Daniel Kaye
to the other head and arms.
He did not say what he meant
by “the best one,” but doctors
said one head is larger than the
other and one pair of arms is
better developed.
Dr. John D. Van Nuys, dean of
the medical center, said no sur
gery is contemplated at this time.
The baby has two spinal cords
joined at about the waistline. Doc
tors believe there is only one set
of internal organs.

Cruise Company Folds
And SS Aleutian Will
Be Returned to Seattle
SAN FRANCISCO, (if) — The
fledgling Hawaiian cruise com
pany went out of business here
yesterday without ever having
sailed a ship.
President Harry Fischnaller
said the line’s only vessel, the
SS Aleutian, will be returned to
its owners, The Alaska Steamship
Company in Seattle, “just as soon
as we can get heat in the boilers.”
The announcement came after
failure to reach an agreement
with rival AFL Stewards Union
and the Independent Marine
Cooks and Stewards, who have
tied up the Aleutian in a jurisdic
tional dispute since Dec. 5.
Efforts this week to sell the
line to a member of the Pacific
Maritime Assn., so that stewards
might be hired through the joint
hiring hall, were futile.
Fischnaller and his partner
Loris Gillespie, both of Seattle,
leased the liner from the Alaska
Steamship Co. at a reputed $5,000
a month. They planned to run
“casual” low-rate vacationers’
cruises from California to Hawaii.
The first sailing was scheduled
for Dec. 5. The jurisdictional dis
pute, which eventually involved
Harry Bridges’ longshore union,
has keep the ship tied up ever
since.

Second Division Judge
Will Be Appointed After
Congress Convenes
WASHINGTON, UPi — A new
federal judge for Alaska’s Sec
ind Judicial Division at Nome
probably will be appointed by
President Eisenhower after Con
gress meets next month, a Justice
Department spokesman said to
day.
“No appointment has been made
and there probably will be none
until the name can be sent direct
ly to the Senate,” said Fred Mul
len, department press relations
man.
In line with department pol
icy, Mullen declined to discuss
who might be in line for the vac
ancy which was created when the
Senate adjourned without acting
on the recess appointment given
to J. Earl Cooper by former Presi
dent Truman.
At Republican National Com
mitee headquarters, it was learn
ed “several recommendations”
have been made to the depart
ment. Among those under con
sideration, it was said, were Wal
ter Hodge of Cordova, and Ai
mer Peterson and William Olson,
both of Anchorage. All three are
attorneys.
French Missionary
Safe In Wilds Of
Arctic Canada
CHURCHILL, UR—A brief radio
message, relayed along the arc
tic’s dog team - radio network, has
brought word from the barren
lands that a 39-year-old bespec
tacled French missionary, unre
ported for several months, is safe
at a northern outpost.
Rev. Joseph Buliard of the Ro
man Catholic Oblate Order was
last seen by a mining engineer
during the summer, making the
rounds of his far-flung Eskimo
parishioners. Much concern was
felt here for his safety after a plan
to send supplies to his Garry Lake
Mission, 1,200 miles north of Win
nipeg, failed to work out.
Rev. Peter Lessard of the Ob
late Mission mailed a message to
the CBC’s “Northern Messenger”
service which was broadcast from
Winnipeg last Friday night seek
ing word of the priest who has
worked 14 years in the arctic.
Even before the message was
broadcast, a radio report came
from Baker Lake, 980 miles north
of Winnipeg, saying Father Bul
iard is in good health. While not
at home, he said he did not need
a plane-load of supplies until next
March.
Officials said that from what is
known of his usual winter route,
Father Buliard’s “all-well” mes
sage probably originated at Cam
bridge Bay on the south shore of
Victoria Island, 1,100 miles north
of Edmonton, on his arrival by
dog team.
Once before Father Buliard,
who is about 39 years old, fooled
those who believed he had per
ished in the North.
For seven months in 1949 he
was unreporrted as he trekked
over thousands of miles with an
Eskimo tribe. His fare was raw
meat and even that was scarce as
he and the Eskimos worked their
way back to Garry Lake, just
south of the Arctic Circle and
some 1,200 miles north of Winni
peg.
Father Buliard was located there
[ by Bush Pilot Gunnar Ingebright
son and flown to Churchill for
medical treatment. His arms and
legs were frozen. After recovering
he returned to the North.
Marlene’s New Nightclub
Gown Shocks Even
Burlesque Reporters
LAS VEGAS, Nev., —Marlene
Dietrich made her nightclub debut
Tuesday night in the most reveal
ing gown that show business vet
eran could remember.
The veteran glamour girl open
ed at the Sahara, and her first ap
pearance drew a gasp from the
capacity audience. She sauntered
on stage in a gown of transparent
black net and little else.
The gown, a clinging number
designed by Jean Louis for a re
ported $6,000, revealed more than
it concealed.
Joe Schoenfeld, entertainment
veteran and editor of Daily Var
iety, said: “It’s the most daring
gown I’ve ever seen on a stage,
and I covered New York burles
que in the old days.”
A consensus of other reviewers
drew similar comments. One was
asked what he thought of the
gown. “What gown?” he replied.

Negotiate Peace But
“It May Take Months”
HONOLULU, UFi — U.S. Envoy
Arthur Dean arrived here Wed
nesday en route to Washington
predicting that the Communists
would return to Panmunjom and
negotiate for a Korean peace con
ference but “It may take months.”
“They’ll come back,” he told

they’re in no hurry. Time is the
whole stock in trade of the Com
munists. We must fight them at
their own game.”
Dean said he would be in Wash
ington indefinitely but would be
ready to return to Panmunjom at
a moment’s notice.
