A KING AND QUEEN of yore thought the world of a ear
tain jester, but he risked the royal ire one day by van
luring, "An apology can sometimes be worse than an insult."
"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!"

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

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 10 institutions which led
in the number of students this
year were:
University of California 41,
598; University of Minnesota
35,852; New York university
31,068; State University of New

Invitation Accepted
To Visit Land Of Nile
Cairo (IP) U.S. Ambassador
to the United Nations Henry
Cabot Lodge has accepted an in
vitation to visit Egypt, the news
paper Al Ahram said Saturday.
The invitation was extended
by Egyptian Foreign Minister

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.

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.
As an added inductment,
Brasacchio said he would invite
the buyer to be best man at his
wedding.
The Chesapeake Bay bridge
spans four miles of water to
link Maryland's eastern and
western shores. It cost $44,000,

above the ship channel, allow
