SHOT BUT I TOOK IT TO ONE OF THEM LOOK HOW THEy FIXED ITyD NEVER KNOW IT Glen Canyon Dam Work Shuts River To Boal Travel Kanab, Utah. m Con struction work on the site of the Glen Canyon Dam, east of Kanab near the Utah-Arizona border, has forced the closing of a long stretch of the Colorado river to boat travel. Running the Colorado from Hite, Utah, to Lee's Ferry, Ariz., has long been rated as one of the most thrilling ad ventures in the west. A report from Commission er of Reclamation W. A. Dex heimer to Interior Secretary Fred A. Seaton explained that work already under way on the steep cliffs at the dam ite makes conditions "simply too dangerous" to permit river travel. As a result, signs warning of the closure have been post ed at Hite and Lee's Ferry. There are no places of exit from the river for boatmen and their gear between these points. Dexheimer said that cables now cross the river at .water level to anchor barges being used by drill crews at the spot where the 700-foot dam will begin to rise soon. Tunnel Started Other crews are working on the sides of the cliffs, blasting and scaling, and rocks falling from these operations would be hazardous to boatmen. Dexheimer said engineers had hoped to find a feasible exit for boatmen upstream irom the dam sije at Warm Creek or Wahweap Canyon. However, quicksand forma tions, rough tertain and the possibility of flash floods forced abandonment of this hope. Boring of the first diversion tunnel has already started. The prime contract for the main dam is expected to be let this summer. Engineers aid that in about two years, when the diversion tunnels and coffer dam are complet ed, the river level may be high enough so the Wahweap Canyon exit may be used. When completed, Glen Can yon Dam, a major unit of the Colorado River Storage Project, will store about 28 million acre feet of water. The river will be changed into i a lake extending 186 miles north-eastward up the main Qolorado channel and 71 jiiiles up the San Juan river. -- Ex-Senafor's Wife Files Divorce Suit Tacoma (tP) The wife of former U.

(Cl Hospital Staff Donates Funds To Keep Going Philadelphia (IP) The na tion's oldest nursing school and its hospital were saved from being closed down re cently when doctors, nurses, technicians, office help and maids contributed a total of $50,000 to keep it running. Women's Hospital of Phil adelphia, which will be 100 years old in four years, is al most a half million dollars in debt. The board of managers was considering merger with another hospital when the staff made their offer. The board was then able to turn down the merger, which would have meant the clos ing of Women's Hospital as a separate institution. The hospital was founded by Dr. Ann Preston in 1861, two years after the founding of the first hospital for wom en, the New York Infirmary for Women. Women's Hospital opened the first nursing school in the country in 1867. In those days the hospital and the school were housed in a building rented for $300 a year. Sixty-seven patients, attracted by newspaper ad vertisements, were treated the first year. Two Quaker women acted as chaperones when surgeons worked in the operating room. $200 More Needed Now the hospital occupies a million-dollar building in West Philadelphia. Annual operating expenses run to more than a million dollars, the number of patients ex ceeds that of the first year by almost 100 times. A men's section was added in 1950 to meet American Medical Association requirements for resident intern training. Mark L. Dawson, who. be came the hospital's first male administrator i n October, said the staff's $50,000 ges ture of loyalty was the only thing that kept the hospital alive. He said another $200, 000 will get the hospital on a stable business basis. The hospital receives al most $30,000 dollars annual ly from the United Fund and is bound by an agreement with the fund not to make an independent plea for-contributions. However, friends of the hospital in the neigh borhood and former patients from all over the country have been sending in volun tary contributions. Perhaps the historic hos pital will see its centennial yet. Institute Studies Worker Attitude Ann Arbor, Mich. OP) The Institute For Social Re search at the University of Michigan has completed a study in an industrial plant on the change in attitude of workers who become com pany foremen and' union stewards. The study concluded that new foremen became more anti-union than stewards be came anti-management. "Workers who became fore men had to relinquish their membership in the union, while workers who became stewards did not. New fore-1 men are subject to one main set of loyalties to manage ment. When asked to carry out a markedly new set of functions, they tend to de velop negative attitudes to ward the unions as well as positive attitudes toward management. "New stewards, on the oth er hand, are subject to over lapping group membership. As union leaders, they are still dependent on manage ment for their livlihood. As a result, they tend to become more favorable to the union, but they do not turn against management." -it mum -.3 t KIP Jayne Mansfield, Husband Receive Reception Guests Dallas, Tex. OP) Jayne Mansfield and muscleman Mickey Hargitay, married Monday in a world-premiere atmosphere, finally found peace and quiet at their wed ding reception, guarded by a squad of 13 police. Today they leave for Miami Beach for a three-day honey moon. A police sergeant stood at the door, of the home of Jayne's mother and step father, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Peers Tuesday and checked off reception guests as they entered from a list that con tained not only names but tel ephone numbers. A plainclothesman stood on the lawn with a loudspeaker system, warning back press ing fans. Eleven other police men were scattered around the house in exclusive Uni versity Park, keeping traffic moving and looking out for gangs of teen-agers who might try to crash the reception by the back way. In this law-enforced quiet, the 24-year-old bride and her 27-year-old former "Mr. Uni verse" husband received their guests. Jayne greeted them with a firm handshake. Mickey spent a good deal of his time com forting Mrs. Peers, who wept freely. Toward the end of the re ception, the crowd outside had grown to around 300, about half of them teenagers. After the reception, Jayne and her new husband came outside and signed autographs. When they first reached the Peers' home early Tuesday morning, Hargitay lifted his bosomy bride in his arms and carried her across the thresh old.

Race Relations Said Worsened Tuskegee, Ala. (IP) Tuskee- gee institute reported today that relations between Whites and Negroes in Southern states worsened in 1957, a year which saw passage of a fed eral civil rights bill and the use of troops to enforce inte gration of a school. The annual report on race relations issued by the presi dent of the famed Negro school, L. H. Foster, said both sides of the controversy be came "more resolute" in the eventful year and made urg ent the need for "realistic and constructive" efforts to avoid more serious trouble. "Obstruction of federal laws which guarantee constitu tional rights to the individual was extremely vigorous in numbers of states and cities," the report said. "The growth in numbers and the increased activity o f voluntary segregationist groups reduced the security of person and property in many Southern communities. "Despite this trend toward lawlessness, the number of in cidents of physical violence remained relatively low. Those occurrances were con demned by numerous persons, regardless of their own views on desegregation." .
