WHO'S AFRAID OF A BIG OL' BEAR? Apparently
Jeaniene Cook (Miss Sacramento County) isn't. Jeaniene,
an entrant in the Maid of California contest, was posing
with this ursine roue at the state fairgrounds in Sacra
mento. Her charms are natural and obvious but the bad
ol' bear got that leering expression from the whimsical
end of a retouch artist's brush.
'Girard Case' Bill
Passage Expected
Washington (IP) The House
appeared likely Saturday to pass
a heavily watered-down bill de
signed to prevent another "Gir
ard case" in the foreign trial of
American servicemen.
However, proposals for a ma
jor revision of the international
status of forces agreement on
trial and punishment of U.S.
troops overseas were losing
ground in the face of stiff ad
ministration opposition.
A compromise bill, if it clears
the House, will still face in the
Senate a log-jam of legislation
caused by the lengthy civil
rights debate. Its chances of Sen
ate approval before adjourn
ment remain slim.
Rep. Carl Vinson (D-Ga: vet
eran chairman of the House
armed services committee, said
he favored a slight change in
U.S. administrative procedures
under the foreign trial arrange
ments. Unless some compromise
bill is approved by the commit
tee, he said, "We may be con
fronted on the floor with some
thing that could cause a lot of
friction with our allies."

sonburg, Va., in a Charlottes
ville, Va., desegregation case.
Judge Paul, ruling on an iden
tical motion in a nearly identi
cal school case, ordered a year

Sultan of Oman
Beefs Up Forces
Sharja, Trucial Oman (in
The Proabritish sultan of Oman
beefed up his forces on the edge
of rebel-held territory Saturday
in preparation for an all-out
campaign to wipe out an Arab
insurrection that threatens his
rule.
Half the Sohar regiment from
(he sultan's Muscat and Oman
force had moved into the area
at Ibri. Ibri is 80 miles north
east of the rebel headquarters
at Nizwa.
In the Buraimi oasis, Trucial
Oman scouts commanded by
British Col. Stewart Carters es
tablished a headquarters and
started sending patrols down
the rough, sun-baked trail to
Irbi, 80 miles to the southwest.
Ibri has served as the nerve
center of the sultan's Oman reg
iment since it was pushed out
of Nirwa by the rebels in the
week-old desert war.
Approximately 1,000 Trucial
scouts moving into Buraimi were
expected to take off shortly to
join the sultan's Sohar and Oman
forces of about 400 men.

U.S.-Panama Highway
To Be Completed in 1959
Washington M The inter-
American highway linking the
U.S. border with 'Panama is ex
pected to be ready for traffic in
early 1959, the international
road federation said Saturday.
It said that only 5 per cent of
the 3,200-mile road remains to
be built but this will take two
years because of rough and
sometimes inaccessible terrain.
Here the builders must contend
with jungle, tropical heat, rocky
mountains, landslides, rivers, and
torrential rains which wash out
roadbeds.
Utah's state tree is the blue
spruce, the sea gull the state
bird, and the Sego lily the state
flower.
