America Named lor Richard Ameryck New York-niPD-America got its name from Richard Amer yck, a customs collector in Bristol, England, not from Amerigo Vesipucci, according to Fitzroy W. G. Chamberlain, Lord Mayor of Bristol. During a recent visit to New York, Chamberlain said explorer John Cabot named America after Ameryck to show bis appreciation for the latter's successful efforts to get him a pension from Henry VII. Cabot made his famous voyage of discovery in 1497 California Admission Day Ignored at Prison San Quentin, Calif. - (UPD - California observed Admis sion Day Tuesday but not San Quenton prison. A paroled convict, Herschel 'Corrective' Camps Not Paying Chinese Hong Kong-(t?D-"Corrective labor" camps aren't always paying propositions the Chi nese Communists have found. They just haven't got the men to run the camps effici ently. For instance, in Inner Mon golia, workers in "corrective labor" camps reclaimed about 157,400 acres of wasteland during the past five years, but only two-thirds of the, land has been cultivated. The Communists blamed "bad management," admitting that more than $262,400 had been wasted. The managements of factor ies and farms set up in Inner Mongolia to implement the policy of "reform through la bor" have been heavily criti cised for inefficiency, waste and extravagance. One report cited the case of three farms at Paotow which allowed 226,000 pounds of fresh vegetables and 133, 330 pounds of medicinal herbs to rot. In addition, livestock valued at about $120,000 died as a result of "improper feed ing and insufficient care." to what later became known as Newfoundland. Chamber lain's theory about how Amer ica got its name received no support from official sources.

Morgan, 39, San Mateo, Calif., pounded on the gates of the prison and pleaded with officials to let him in. "I want to come back," he cried. "Please let me in." Associate Warden Louis Nelson refused. "You've got to do these things right," he explained. Morgan explained he was sentenced from Tulare Coun ty in 1949 to a term of one year to life for lewd and la scivious conduct. He had been on parole for three years and had one more year to serve. Herschel then said he was breaking parole at that very moment by having left San Mateo county without notify ing his parole officer. "I owe money on my house . . . I'm in trouble," he said. Nelson called the Marin County Sheriffs office. A dep uty took Morgan away to be booked as a parole violator in county jail. "That is the regulation first step for a parolee wishing to come back home," Nelson said. Italian Court Rules On Spending Wives Rome (UPD An Italian su preme court .has modified the old adage that, "It's papa who pays." The court ruled that wives cannot run up bills for per sonal things if the amount ex ceeds the , husband's earning power. The case involved a hus band who was brought to court by a grocer after his wife had run up a huge bill on foodstuffs and had charged the amount to hubby. The court upheld, the gro cer. "The bills that a wife runs up must be limited to within the earning power of the hus band. In this instance, the wife bought solely foodstuffs and an amount which appears reasonable for an average daily sustenance," the judge said. The husband had to pay the bill. But the judge added that if the wife had charged things "for her own personal use, such as an excessive amount of cosmetics, jewelry, a fur coat or perhaps an automo bile, then the husband would not be held liable to pay."
