"Either prove that," com manded the king, "or oft goes your head!" After dinner, Hi Majes ty happened to bend over, and the jester landed a lus ty kick on the royal rear. As the king straightened up, purple with rage, the jester explained, "Pardon me, Sire. I thought you were the queen!" Clarence Darow oace won difficult cut for a society queen.

National Guard Reported Facing Strength Reduition Washington Ml The Army National Guard was reported Saturday facing a natonwlde 80, 000 man reduction In. strength next year. Pentagon and National Guard omciais aemea Knowledge or any specific divisions or smaller units which might be affected, but said th sharp cutback was definitely Indicated In the fiscal year 1959 defense budget. Fiscal 1959 begins July 1, 1058. The Army Guard now Is slight ly over the 400,000-man limit set by Congress in this year's de fense budget. It has about 4,200 units. The Guard publication, "Na tional Guardsman," aaid In Its January edition that the force might undergo a 20 per cent re duction next year. It said thia would mean a cut of five or six divisions The Army National Guard now has 21 infantry and six armored divisions. Officials said Saturday while no final decision has been made on the matter, an "across-the-board" reduction of 80,000 men seemed probable next year. In addition, the budget reduction would mean a cut in funds as signed for support of many guard units. Guard officials feel that they face a battle to prevent further reduction of their forces. One officer said It Is "going to be a real battle to maintain our readiness as the nation's first line of reserve force." He expressed fear that the guard will be relegated to an "insignificant" status in the na- tion's overall military picture, j lew High Seen On Enrollments At Colleges Washington (Ifi College enrollments are expected to hit an all-time high of 3,460,000 students when the second sem ester opens next month. This would be an increase of 392,000 over the record fall en rollment of 3,068,000. Lawrence G. Derthick, U. S. commissioner of Education, said fall enrollments in 1,890 col leges and universities showed a 41.1 per cent increase over 1956. He also said enrollments have increased 45 per cent since 1951. Derthick said the number of college-age persons will start to climb sharply in the early 1960s due to an unprecedented increase in births during the mid-1940.s During the next decade the num ber of young people seeking to enter college is expected to double.

The invitation was extended by Egyptian Foreign Minister Mahmoud Fawzi during a recent visit to U.N. headquarters in New York. The newspaper gave not date for the visit. Chattanooga, Term. (W Tennessee Judge Raulston Schoolfield told a radio-television audience Friday night that implications before the Senate Rackets committee that he ac cepted a bribe were part of a "consummate plot to destroy me." The 52-year-old criminal court jurist spoke for an hour here on both radio and TV, then flew to Nashville and made the same speech on another radio hook up. In the speech he denied "emphatically," that he accept ed money to quash Indictments against members of the Team sters union. Testimony in which the impli cations were made came during the committee's investigation of labor violence in Chattanooga and other Tennessee areas. 'Directed Squarely at Me' The probe was "directed squarely at me and no one else" Schoolfield said, and termed the entire investigation "a consum mate plot on the part of certain people of Interests to destroy me." Schoolfield said the "inter ests" wanted to ruin him because of his belief in separation of the races and his opposition "to the federal government's tow ering proportions of power in the affairs of the people." - State officials, including Gov. Frank Clement, huddled earlier this week and agreed to investi g a t e Schoolfield's activities. There also have been indications the state bar may ask the judge to leave the bench until this in vestigation is complete. Hunted Scandalous Conduct 'Schoolfield charged in his speech that two Senate investi gators sent to the Chattanooga area "addressed almost all of their time and effort toward trying to produce scandalous and-or unlawful conduct on my part, all of which was wholly unrelated to the field of labor Hew Election Asked For Labor Portland (IP) The Port land central labor council will have to hold a disputed election of officers over again to clear up the position of secretary treasurer, AFL-CIO President George Meany ordered Friday. Meany, called by Portland council secretary Gust Ander son, said the new election will be barred to teamster, bakery workers and laundry workers. Anderson defeated Ed Whe- land of the firefighters union for the post of secretary-treasurer in an election three weeks ago. The fire fighters interna tional union complained that 35 teamsters voted, even though the teamsters union had been ex pelled from the AFL-CIO on the national level three days earlier. Meany personally told Glenn Blake, Portland central labor council president, that the prev ious election was illegal. Blake said he would ask council dele gates at a Monday night meet ing for a new election to be scheduled for Jan. 6 with team- sters.'bakers, and laundry wor kers excluded from the voting. and management "At the time I went to Wash ington I was of the opinion that the senior senator from Ten nessee (Estes Kefauver) was in all probability the trigger man in this plot," the judge added. "But up to this time I have been unable to uncover his track." The judge said committee in vestigators "studiously avoid ed" checking out alleged labor violence and bribery in Chattan ooga. "There was not one word of evidence introduced at that hearing proving any violence of trouble between labor and management." British to Scrap Fighter Plans, Officials State London HP) Britain has de cided to scrap plans to produce a 1,500 mph rocket-jet fighter and to end competition with the United States in development of long-range airliners, it was re ported Saturday. The airliner decision, If con firmed by the government which faces socialist questioning on the issue, would give the U.S. a virtual monopoly on pro duction of jet airliners such as the DC-8 and Boeing 707. It also would write an end to the British Aviation Industry's commercial hopes that soared only a week ago when the turbo prop "Whispering Giant," Bris tol Britannia airliner started op erating between London and New York. West German rejection of the British Sr-177 fighter, which av iation sources describe as a "manned missile," was disclos ed Friday. The Bonn govern ment had been expected to buy up to 400 of the planes. The British supply ministry withdrew its multi-million dol lar support for the fighter's de velopment as a result. Instead of the Saunders-Roe SR-177, West German Defense Minister Franz-Josef Strauss has indicated interest in the American-built Grumman Tiger and Republic F105 jet fighters. A decision whether West Germany will buy them is expected early next year. The state tree of New Mexico is the pinon, a member of the pine family. Pinon wood was used as fuel by prehistoric In dians, and is still popular today because of its fragrance. Pinon nuts furnish food for wildlife, and Navajo Indians harvest them for their own use. The Colony and Protectorate of Gambia, Britain's oldest link to west Africa, comprises little more than a broad river with narrow strips of land on each side. Leading exports are pea nuts, palm kernels, and beeswax. As a result of rigid conserva tion practices, there are now five times as many buffalo in the United States as in the early 1900s. WALKING FROM EAST ROOM In White House, President and Mrs. Eisenhower lead family of son, John, toward living quarters for Christmas dinner (International Soundphoto) Amnesia Man Refuses Truth Serum Injection San Francisco (IP! Harry Gallon, the "lost commuter" whose story of amnesia fell to pieces in a lie detector test, re fused Saturday to take an injec tion of truth serum because he said he was tired of publicity. Gallon, 31, disappeared from his office in San Francisco on Aug. 15. He turned up in New Orleans early this month with a story of having lost his mem ory. He said he regained it with a "blinding flash." Police in New Orleans and in San Mateo, Calif., where Gal lon was living at the time of his disappearance, became suspici ous of his story. At length, Chief of - Police Martin C. McDonnell of San Mateo asked Gallon to come to San Francisco and undergo a lie detector test. Gallon, accompan ied by his wife, Betty, 36, did so Friday. The test lasted two hours. Gallon Visibly Upset Gallon emerged from the test, visibly upset. He refused to discuss it. He and his wife re turned to their home in subur ban Burlingame. , George W. Harman, director of the firm that administered the test, made a report of his findings to McDonnell, who then issued a statement: "It is his (Harman's) opinion, that Gallon probably has a con scious memory of leaving San Francisco, his mode of travel and his activities during all of his stay in New Orleans. "This opinion is based on the polygraph recordings of answers given to the questions asked. To certain of the questions, Gallon was not telling the truth consci ously. "Harman offered to arrange for a widely known and highly qualified psychiatrist to admini ster truth serum, but Gallon de clined the offer, stating that "there already had been enough and too much publicity concern ing him." Case 'Closed' McDonnell said the result of the lie detector test will be placed in Gallon's file and the case considered "closed." There have laeen no charges of any kind placed against Gallon. Although Gallon refused to comment on the test, his 16-year-old stepson, Gary, was skeptical about it. "If he flunked it, then there's something wrong with the mach ine," the youth said. The investigation into the ver acity of Gallon's story began when New Orleans police found a roommate of Gallon's, Louis Blakely. Blakely quoted Gallon as say ing he left home after a bitter quarrel with his wife. Wine Soothes Nerves, Also Brings Arrest Mineola, N.Y. (IP) - Alex Szwetowski, a Long Island gar dener, pleaded innocent to a drunk driving charge Saturday. He admitted he had been drink ing when he was arrested after the accident. But he said he merely sipped some wine after the crash, to soothe his nerves. Merriam turkeys, the wild birds hunted annually in Jfew Mexico, were domesticated by the Indians long before the first Spanish explorers arrived. Fran cisco Vasquez de Coronado, who explored New Mexico in 3540, received a turkey as a token of peace from the Indians. Inducement Offered With Sports Car Sale Mineola, N.Y. OP) Gene Brasacchio, 23-year-old court stenographer, put his sports car up for sale Saturday. He wants $2,300 to buy furni ture for his bride-to-be.
