D. QUIGG United Press Correspondent Sarasota, Fla. (U.R) Now I know how Noah must have felt. I'm aboard the circus train with hundreds of animals, per formers, freaks, snakes, queer critters, and one expectant gir affe. The -'G.S.O.E.," (greatest show on earth, Matilda) hit the road for the North with all handj alerted. They were ex pecting a blessed event that they could tell tall tales about for years to come. The expectant lady is nmed Ingrid, a native of Africa. She is handsome and, despite her delicate condition, still guite graceful and willowy for htr height, which is 16 feet. Ingrid is expected to have her h o baby I guess you could call it a calf, since giraffes are bovine any day now, and we don't pull into our destination, New York, until Sunday morning. If she has it on the train, she'll make history. No giraffe ever has had a ba by on a train, as far as is known here. If the stork comes during oue trip to New York, the train will have to stop right in its tracks and let Doc E. Y. Hender son go to work. Doc Henderson, a tall, lean Texan, has been the circus veterinarian for 16 years. But right now, because of Ingrid, he"s jumpy as a Mexican bean. Not even Albert Rix, the me nagerie's superintendent, ever heard of a giraffe giving birth while riding on a train, and Rix grew up with the great Hagen- 'S PLASTIC back circus of Germany. In grid's present husband, an 18 iooter named Boston, was born on the road hi as you probably guessed Boston. But that was during an engagement and not while actually on the rails! Italian Romance Ingrid and her former hus band, Roberto, came over from Europe together. Doc Henderson explains: "It was about the time or, you remember, that romance in Italy. But they were named before we got them." Roberto la ter died and Ingrid remarried. It's always an event when Sarasota's main institution, the mighty "Ringling Bros, and Bar num & Bailey combined shows" breaks winter quarters here and heads for its annual 40-day stand at Madison Square Garden and the subsequent summer under the big top. Families say tearful goodbyes at trainside in a scene compar able with that of the early whal ing days when the master of the house would embark for many months of absence at sea. SO Ft. 50 ft.

Khrushchev and Soviet Pre mier Nikolai A. Bulganin to Britain next month has turned against the "police state methods" the British govern ment is reported planning to use to keep them happy during their stay. "Arrangements for hindering press coverage . . . are beginning to trickle out . . ." said the lib eral Manchester Guardian. . "The government and the police are cooperating in the game of pro viding "facilities" for keeping the newspapers at arm's length." Short of Police "Stop this police state stuff!" snapped the conservative Daily Sketch. "If we are going to have cops as thick as blackberries around Bulganin and Khrush chev, let them be their own cops. "This country is badly short of police. Messrs. B. and K. should find that a very refresh ing change." The latest example of the se curity precautions imposed by the government was the report that Alexander Nejmirok, . a prominenti Russian anti-communist, was refused permission to land when he arrived from France by ship Wednesday night. Nejmirok, a leader of the Rus sian refugee organization NTS, had planned to spend only a few days in Britain, leaving at least a week before the Soviet PAPER SEIZED John Gates, editor-in-chief of The Daily Worker, prepares to leave New York office after Treasury men seized the paper's property.
