Axis Sally Released
From Federal Prison
ALDERSON, W. Va. UP* — Mil
dred Gillars, the Axis Sally of
World War II walked out of fed
eral prison today with a flourish.
The starred voice of Nazi pro
paganda broadcasts was still the
actress.
A reporter asked for a state
ment on her frist l'eaction after
12 years in prison, and Miss Gli
lars replied, ‘‘well after some 15
years in prison, what am I sup
posed to say?”
Although she said 15 years, she
actually has been in the reform
atory only since 1949.
That’s far as she would go. She
wras hustled into the car of a sis
ter, Mrs. E. E. Nieminen of Ashta
bula, Ohio and was driven off.
Miss Gillars was convicted of
treason in March 1949 and was
sentenced to from 10 to 30 years.
She was released on parole today.
As Axis Sally, she conducted
Nazi propaganda broadcasts dur
ing World War II beamed to
American troops overseas and
Americans at home. She played
sentimental recordings and won
dered aloud to the GI’s about
what their girls back home were
doing.
Miss Gillars, now 60, said she
could not say whether she was
going into a convent — as has
been reported.
Mrs. Nellie Poerier, of Sparks,
Nev., was the guest of the Cham
ber at noon today. She is cele
brating her 77th birthday in
Nome, by choice, and enjoying
her Wien Alaska tour.
Sen. Frank Moss of Utah
Survives Crash Landing
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho —
Sen. Frank E. Moss <D-Utah>, and
his son Gordon, 11, survived a
crash landing on the Idaho Falls
airport Sunday. So did the other
four in the twin-engine plane. No
body was hurt.
They had been fishing Saturday
at Henry’s Lake in eastern Idaho
not far from Yellowstone Na
tional Park. When the plane took
off from a landing strip on a
ranch it hit a cow. The landing
gear and a propeller were dam
aged. The pilot, Homer Fountain,
flew 100 miles to Idaho Falls and
skidded 1,200 feet to a safe stop
on the runway, wheels up.
Sen. Moss kicked open the
emergency door and everybody
piled out as a fire truck sprayed
foam to prevent a fire. There
was none.

Air Force Orbits 300-lb.
Discoverer 26 Satellite
VANDENBURG AIR FORCE
BASE, Calif. UPI — Discoverer 26,
an Air Force satellite carrying
300 pounds of secret gear, is
whirling about the earth every
95 minutes today.
Its capsule will be ejected some
time within the next two days
and airmen will try to recover it
near Hawaii.
The kettle-drum shaped cap
sule in the nose of the 25-foot
long second stage of the 81-foot
rocket was fired into orbit Fri
day. It was the 19th in the Dis
coverer series to orbit success
fully.
The Air Force said the capsule,
in a north-south orbit, is whizzing
around the globe at a maximum
altitude of 503 miles and a mini
mum of 146 mles.
So far the Air Force has suc
ceeded in catching three capsules
in the air. Two others were fished
from the ocean.
There is unofficial speculation
that in addition to the secret gear,
Discoverer 26 probably carried
equipment being tested for photo
graphic and missile - detection
satellites, Samos and Midas.
Harry Knudson. who is with
Army Engineers at Ft. Greeley,
returned to his job last week
after sending several days per
forming assessment work on his
mining property here.
He reports that his wife and
son are living in a new home in
north Seattle and that Tommy
graduated from high school this
spring and is now taking a course
in electronics at Edison Tech in
Seattle.

Gina Lollobrigida
Just Wanted to
Take a Bath . . .
MOSCOW CP) — Gina Lollo
brigida says she meant no snub
by walking out on Premier
Khrushchev at the opening of the
Moscow film festival—she just
wanted to take a bath.
But the Soviet leader and other
Communist bigwigs stared as the
Italian film star stalked out of
Moscow’s Lenin Stadium Sunday
night just when the show was
warming up.
Gina, who had been rushed to
the stadium direct from the air
port, said the whole thing ap
parently was a misunderstanding.
“I wasn’t angry, just upset,”
she told reporters later in her
hotel room (after taking a bath).
“I was sure they would under
stand when I left.”
As for Khrushchev, Gina said:
“I had the pleasure to see Khrush
chev. This is something exciting,
even from far away.”
Though one of the top foreign
attractions here for the festival,
Gina had only a third-row seat in
the audience.
Gina looked lovely — but hard
ly dressed like glamorous actress
es usually do for gala public ap
pearances. She wore a tall blue
straw hat and two-piece blue
traveling suit.
In her own words, “I looked
like a gypsy.”
American film producer Wil
liam Perlberg, who sat nearby,
said she was “sore as hell’ about
not being given a chance to take
a bath, make up or change her
clothes before being taken to the
festival.
Jens Handeland, brother of Kay
Handeland, has been visiting here
I for the past ten days and left over
| the weekend to return to his
| home in Seattle.
