Miss Universe
girls are visual,
not very oral
WASHINGTON (UPI! Unless
you happen to enjoy looking at
pretty ((iris in bathing suits, a
Miss Universe news conference is
rather a letdown.
A group of the participants in
this year's Miss Universe con
test stopped off here for a visit
en route to Miami Beach, where
the pageant will be staged later
this month.
They held a press conference
on the shores of a hotel swim
ming pool, but it turned out to I
be more visual than oral. Either I
their time was monopolized by
photographers or they were un
able to speak English.
It was most disapoointing be
cause I had been looking forward
to discussing the Common Mar
ket with Miss Belgium, obtaining
Miss France's views of Gen. De
guile's "grand design," hearing
Miss Italy's opinion of the new
Pope, and so forth.
I could, of course, have inter
viewed Miss England, but only one
thin" has been happening In Eng
land recently and I was reluctant
to bring that up.
Fears Chaperon Reaction
I was afraid one of the chaper
ones might overhear us and get
the wrong Idea.
So there was nothing much for
a reporter to do but deposit him
self on a chaise longue and watch
some 20 of the world's most
beautiful young women parade
around In powder blue swim suits.
Pity.
Beautv pageants continue to
attract large crowds in this coun
try, but actually they do not pro
vide much of a challenge for a
vetnran girl-watcher.
When a bird-watcher has a yen
to gaie upon a great racket-tailed
drongo or a rufous-browned pep
per shrike, he do"s not go to an
aviary. That would be considered
unsoortlng.
He goes into the narks or woods
to seek out the birds in their
natural habitats. Spotting a red
whiskered bulbul is onlv fun for
a bird-watcher when It Is accom
panied bv a case of poison ivy.
Pleasure Lessened
II Is much the same with girl
watching. Organized displays of
feminine pulchritude take a great
deal of the pleasure out of this
ancient pastime by removing the
element of chance.
' Spotting a pretty girl at a beau
ty contest simnly is no accom
plishment at all.
Some of the best girl-watching
grounds In the world can be found
in Washington. Among the more
favorable locations is the cafeter
ia in the House Office Building
during the lunch hour.
A person wouldn't suspect, judg
ing from some of the legislation
they pass, that members of Con
press were capable of such dis
cernment in the employment of
clerks and stenographers.

"And she told me that as a

WASHINGTON (UPD-Twenty-one
American mountain climbers
who took part in the conquest of
Mt. Everest, including one who
died in the effort, were honored
Monday by President Kennedy.
The President presented the Na

members of the expedition.
At a ceremony in the White
House garden, Kennedy said
Americans took pride in the ac

expedition. But he said the people
of Nepal, the British and others
had paved the way.

Aires, Argentina,
Rep. Vinson will soon set
longevity mark in House
By Frank Eleaier
UPI Staff Writer
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Rep.
Carl Vinson, a 79-year-old spect
acle wearing, Georgia country
boy sees no cause for reminiscing
just because he will soon set a
record for serving more years in
the House than any other repre
sentative. 'You've got to stay busy and
stay abreast of the times," the
dean of the House said as he
neared completion of 48 years, 8
months and 13 days of continuous
service in Congress. "Times move
ahead. There's notliin' to be
gained sittin' back reminiscing."
On July 16, Uncle Carl Vinson,
leader of the so-called moderate
bloc from the South and power
ful chairman of the House Armed
Services Committee will break the
record set by that other House
giant, the late Speaker Sam Ray
burn. The shrewd and capable Vinson
has withstood many a House bat
tle since lie first entered Con
gress in 1914 as Its youngest mem
ber at age 30. On Nov. 18, he will
be 80, and next year will have
completed 50 years in the House.
In Fine Shan
Although the Milledgeville, Ga ,
native is very familiar with re
cent criticisms that there are too
many old men in Congress, he re
fuses to accept that description of
himself. His hearing, vision and
energy are excellent. His mind,
as many admirals and generals
who have appeared before his
committee will attest, is as sharp
as ever.
His last drink of whiskey was
taken 30 years ago. But, Vinson
still manages to smoke seven or
eight 10 cent cigars every day.
As one possible concession to his
age, he claims to have stopped
chewing tobacco. '
Poiteri for the presidential

Vinson still retains his South
ern drawl and a habit of being in
his office by 7:30 a.m. His staif
does not have to report until 8.
As chairman of the House
Armed Services Committee he

signing them a problem which he j
already has solved. "Now heali s
what let's do, and I'm gonna hep
you," Is a frequent saying of Vin
son's. He has headed the group for
more than 12 years and was chair
man of its predecessor, the Na
val Affairs Committee, for 16
vears before that. If there has
been another person who served
that long as a committee chair
man, no one can recall.
Says Kennedy Great
During his tenure, Vinson has
worked with and known well eight
Presidents starting with Woodrow
Wilson. He has called President
Kennedy one of the greatest Pres
idents despite their disagreement
over civil rights.
He believes Kennedy is wrong,
and will join fellow Southern rep
resentatives in voting against the
administration's civil rights bill.
But, on other critical issues, he
has helped gather Southern votes
for the President and predicts
"I'll be heppln' him again in the
future."
Vinson, with his countrified
looks, large nose and glasses
which he peers over in the man
ner of the country judge he once
was, has become one of the few
real characters in Congress and
it is hard for many to Imagine
him gone.
When asked about rumors that
he will not run for a 26th term.
he looked over the rims of his
spectacles and said:
"I never take oil my socks un
til I get to the creek."
Form Federation
of Malaysia in
Southeast Asia
LONDON (UPI) An agree
ment was signed early today for
the formation of the Federation
of Malaysia, creating a new anti
Communist bastion in Southeast
Asia.
The federation will merge Ma
laya, an independent member of
the British Commonwealth, and
Singapore, Sarawak and North
Borneo all remnants of the
British empire in the Asia region.
A fifth proposed member, Hie
tiny oil-rich sultanate of Brunei,
decided to stay out (or the time
being. The sultan of Brunei made
it plain, however, that with "sat
isfactory terms" he wants to Join.
Tile signing of the agreement
shortly after midnight insured
that the federation would become
effective as scheduled next Aug.
31.
t
The union will encompass 10
million people, including Malays,
Chinese, Indians and indigenous
Borneo stock. Its land area of
128,552 square miles will stretch
from the southern tip of Thailand
to the southern shores of the
Philippine archipelago.
British Prime Minister Harold
Macmillan said at the signing
ceremony that Malaya and Singa
pore "had provided the success
story of Asia," and expressed
confidence the new federation
would have a bright future.
The federation, in effect, ex-
tends V,c s,mlncl,y pro-Western
federation of Malaya across the
southern stretches of the South
China Sea to form a bulwark
against expansion of Communist
Chinese influence. Malaya, whoso
people make up 70 per cent of
the new federation's population,
is the dominant member by far.

Federal judge
OK's settlement
SEATTLE (IIPI) Federal
Judge George Boldt Monday ap
proved a $1 million settlement of
55 civil damage suits brought
against 28 electrical equipment
manufacturers for alleged over
charges. The suits had been brought by
Pacific Power and Light Co.,
Portland: Idaho Power Co., Boise;
Montana Power Co., Butte, Mont.,
and the Eugene, Ore., Water and
Electric Board, a munieipally
owned utility, as the result of the
federal government's anti - trust
prosecutions in 1961.
Judge Boldt expressed the hope
that the out of court agreement
by the four companies might set
a pattern for clearing away ap
proximately 1,800 similar damage
suits filed in U.S. courts across
the nation.
Attorneys for the utility com
panies and the equipment manu
facturers said the agreement was
reached after more than a year
of negotiations.
Attorney George Rodger, Port
land, said the agreement provided
for aggregate payments of $1 mil
lion for damages probably suf
fered by the utilities.
The 28 defendants manufacture
transformers, turbine- generators,
switchgear, insulators, circuit
breakers and miscellaneous equip
ment used extensively in the elec
tric utility Industry.

Nikifa's new
test ban offer
has 'substance
WASHINGTON (UPI)-Sen. Hu
bert H. Humphrey said today
there is a feeling in U.S. govern
ment agencies that Soviet Pre
mier Niklla Khrushchev's new
nuclear test ban offer Is a pro
posal of "substance" rather than
propaganda.
The Minnesota Democrat, chair
man of (he Senate Disarmament
subcommittee, made the state
ment as President Kennedy ex
panded a policy meeting on Die
question Into a full-blown Nation
al Security Council session.
The entire council was called in
for a session Willi W. Averell Har-
rlman, who will be chief U.S. ne
gotiator at the test ban talks
opening in Moscow July 15.
Humphrey, who plans to leave
for Europe later tills week, told
reporters "I think there is a pos
sibility of agreement on a limited
nuclear test ban."
He added that there seemed to
be "no evidence" that Khrush
chev's parallel suggestion of a
non-aggression pact was intended
to be linked with his test ban pro
posal. Kennedy scheduled tho Security
Council meeting earlier.
