Ponders Wisdom
Of Arctic Jaunt
Seattle U.R) The world
champion wheelbarrow pusher
wondered Wednesday whether
he shouldn't give up. his plan to
trundle to the' Arctic circle and
become a "radio cowboy" in
stead. Larry Hightower, 51-year-old
part-time horse wrangler, was
flat on his back at the Seattle
veterans hospital nursing a ser
ious knee injury suffered when
he supped on an icy cattle trail
on an eastern Washington ranch.
"And I wasn't pushing my
wheelbarrow, either," Hightower
muttered gloomily. "I know I
could have made it to the Arc
tic circle. . I got to the top of
Pikes Peak and I shuffled right
along through a cyclone in Mi
chigan. "And now, right here in my
own territory, I durn near bust
my.leg."
Hightower became the unchal
lenged wheelbarrower of the
world by pushing his barrow 20,

state of the union, most of the
Canadian provinces and some of
the Mexican states.
apartments throughout the city.
Spectators Arrested
About 100 persons. Including
stag show spectators, were taken
to Bronx District Attorney
George B. Deluca's office for
questioning. Among them were
women who performed in the
nude at the smokers.
A spokesman for Deluca said
the roundup would continue
throughout the day.
The vice squad began work
ing on the case about three
weeks ago when the parents of
a Bronx high school student
told police lewd films had been
shown to pupils at a secret pre
vue in the building.
Movies Confiscated
During the raids plainclothes
men confiscated more than 500
obscene movies, thousands of ob
jectionable comic books and
numerous pornographic devices.
Detectives said movies were
rented at high fees to individuals
or private groups who, in turn,
charged high "admission" prices.
Some of the private apart
ments were used as storerooms
for the films and indecent pho
tographs peddled by the ring the
district attorney's office said. -
