Naval Air Techniques Find
Place To Sit At Premium
By FRANK ELEAZER
United Press Correspondent
Aboard The Cruiser North
ampton (U.R) Congressmen
observing new naval air tech
niques in the Caribbean suspect
they have uncovered a basic
fault in naval architecture: No
place to sit down.
The planes are great. The
pilots are hot. The guided mis
siles are hotter. But the more
than 70 senators and representa
. tives who left their seats in Con
gress 1100 miles away have to
lean, squat, and mostly just stand
for hours to see the show.
Initially, this was considered
merely serious. As the maneuv
ers progress, it is coming to be
held by unanimous consent a
fundamental, oversight in de
sign. Ups and Downs
There are sofas in the ward
room and chairs in the cabins,
but you can't see maneuvers
from wardrooms and cabins. Be
sides riding those "members
only" elevators in the Capitol
has proved sorry training for the
ladders and stairs and compan
ionways that must be forever
climbed and un-climbed.
The run from Guantanamo
Bay, Cuba, on the guided mis
sile ship Boston was in most
respects a big success.
But before the two $30,000
Terrier guided missiles finally
blasted a World War II drone
Hellcat fighter plane out of the
sky, footsore members of Con
gress were eyeing possible but
unlikely perches on rails, bol
lards and gun mounts. Empty
beer cases would have sold at
high prices just for the place to
sit down. v
Back on the Northampton,
which serves as a floating hotel
for the visitors, congressmen
rushed to their beds and show
ers: That was when the generator
burned out. The air condition
ing quit. The water petered out.
And the lights dimmed and died.
Neubergsr Opposes
Moving of Negroes
Washington (U.R) Sen.
Richard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.),
disagrees with a proposal by
Gov. George Bell Timmerman
of South Carolina that the gov
ernment transplant southern
Negroes to northern states.
"American , men and women
are free to live in whatever part
of the country they prefer or
consider their home," Neuberg
er said. "It is in the Soviet Un
ion, instead of America, that
people are shipped about against
their will."
Timmerman had criticized
Neuberger's views on segrega
tion as well as suggested the mi
gration program for Negroes.
Teacher Accused
In Elopement
With Student
New York (U.R) A 34-year-old
teacher faces abduction and
second degree rape charges to
day for eloping with a 17-year-old
high school classroom pupil.
George Wald, graphic arts in
structor at the High School of
Industrial Arts, was arrested on
the complaint of the girls' par
ents after he went to their home,
blurted out the secret of their
marriage and claimed his bride.
Worth Night in Jail
"Honey, being with you is
worth a night in jail," said Wald
when he was arrested. "This is
onlv a dream maybe we'll wake
up."
"I love him and I'll stick
with him," said his wife, Sydney
Silverman. "If it comes to leav
ing my parents, I'll go with
him."
"He's a man who's been mar
ried twice," said Sydney's father,
Morris, a dress shop accountant.
"I don't think he's the man for
my daughter."
The bride of two months re
vealed that they became engaged
on graduation night last August
and eloped to Elkton, Md., on
Jan. 9. Sydney said she gave
her age at 20.
The couple parted on the day
of their marriage, Sydney going
to her parents' apartment and
Wald to his furnished room in
Coney Island. They lived apart,
meeting only on week ends in
the afternoons.
First Wife Died
Wald's first wife, an English
war bride, died of polio in Mos
cow, Idaho, in 1949. Their two
children, Carolyn, 9, and Geoff
rey, 7, are living with a married
sister"' in Brooklyn. His second
marriage in Michigan in 1953
ended in divorce eight months
later.
Police said the legal contract
of Wald's marriage to his former
pupil is doubtful as she is under
age and could not legally be
married without her parents'
consent.

Gloria Swanson Blames Self for Ladies
Wearing Short Simplified Japanese Obi
By GLORIA SWANSON
Written For United Press
Rome (U.R) Ladies (no men
allowed yet) if you find yourv
selves wearing a short street
length kimono with a sash, a
simplified Japanese obi you
can blame me. I'm the culprit.
This idea I have had for about
a year, but not having a sewing
room here as in New York, I
have been unable to make it
myself. And not until recently
have I stood still long enough to
have someone else make any
thing for me.
To get Italy's newest fashion
sensation, Robert Capucci, to
make up this revolutionary idea
of mine I must admit that I first
ordered some exquisite evening
gowns and cocktail dresses from
his own collection.
Dress Created
Finally all my frustration dis
solved when I shanghaied Ca
pucci to my apartment and don
ned a Japanese dressing gown.

Cost of Living Held
Steady for February
Washington (U.R) The cost
of living held steady last month.
Lower food prices offset in
creases in other classes of con
sumer goods and services.
The Bureau of Labor Statis
tics reported that its consumer
price index in mid-February
stood at 114.6 per cent of avear
age 1947-49 prices. This was the
same as in January and three
tenths of one per cent higher
than a year ago.
Food prices declined slightly
for the fifth straight month.
They were at their lowest level
since December, 1950. But the
index showed prices for housing,
clothing, transportation, medical
and personal care, recreation
and other goods and services.

a street dress instead of a dress

I have been a guinea pig for

Old Story
If your memories are long
enough you will remember you
wore many styles in hair-dos
and dresses that I had nerve
enough to start back in what I
call my "clothes-horse era."
If our men folk find this style
to their liking, who knows? May
be they will adapt their dressing
gowns to street wear for win
ter, covering long red woolies,
and for summer, nothing!
Finally and at long last they
will be able to discard the things
they have always loathed
garters, ties, belts and braces,
buttons and zippers and waist
lines, or the pretense of having
one!
Washington (U.R) The Su
preme Court has ruled that the
government may force witnesses
to testify in national security
cases by promising them abso
lute immunity from prosecution.

True the whole world over. . .
It takes a perfect water
to make a oerfect
Throughout the world, certain localities have become famous for
producing beer of a rare and distinctive quality. When science finally
unlocked the centuries-old secret of such superb beers as those of Munich
and Pflsen, it was established that the quality of the watef used in
brewing made the flavorful difference.
Another of the world's few sources of water naturally perfect for
brewing is at the home of Olympia Brewing Company, near Olympia,
Washington. Here, artesian water flows sparkling-cold and crystal-clear,
in an unchanging natural balancejequired to extract from choice hops
and grains the delicate flavor . . the light, bright, just-right taste that
marks Olympia a superior beer.
