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

'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."

R. 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."

Sproul Expected
To Take Stand
In Murder Trial
Canyon City, Ore. - (UPD -Robert
E. Sproul, 43-year-old
rancher accused of first ae
gree murder in the gun duel
shooting of his brother-in-law
June 21 in nearby Fox valley,
was expected to take the
stand in his own defense to
day. The state, which called six
witnesses Tuesday, indicated
that Dolly Williams of Bro
gan, the only witness to the
shooting, may be its final wit
ness. Williams is a brother of
Harlin (Link) Williams, who

wounds.
Disagreement Outlined
Defense Attorney" Bruce
Spaulding, in a lengthy open
ing talk to jurors Tuesday,

ment between Sproul and
Williams. The dispute had
come to a head over use of
an access road between their
properties. Spaulding said
that two days before the
shooting Sproul went to see
Williams and said he was go
ing to remove a roadblock
from the road and use it.
"If you do, be out there
with a loaded Winchester ahd
one of us will go out feet
first," Spaulding said Wil
liams told the defendant.
Action Said Deliberate
District Attorney Michael
S. Mogan spoke only briefly
to jurors in his opening state
ment. He said Sproul "delib
erately and intentionally arm
ed himself for this conflict
and went up there with the
intention of killing Harlin
Williams."
Spaulding told the jury
that Sproul thought Williams
had shot him first.
Dr. Gerald Van der Blugt
of John Day testified that he
he found 17 holes in Williams
body, caused by eight bullets.

Young Speculator's
Scheme Collapses
New York -(UPD A 16-year-old
Brooklyn boy recently at
tempted to corner the market
in subway tokens, in anticipa
tion of a fare rise.
What he did, according to
E. Vincent Curtayne, a mem
ber of the New York Transit
Authority, was to buy hun
dreds of dollars worth of tak-
ens at 15 cents apiece with the
idea of selling them at a profit
when the higher fare went
into effect.
Curtayne, who did not name
the lad, said he got the money
to, make his purchases, which
were perfectly legal, by with
drawing from his own savings
account. This was in June, the
youngster expecting the fare
boost to take place on July 1.
His- scheme" collapsed on
two accounts. First of all,
transit police began invest!
gating when they realized
somebody was buying an
awful lot of tokens. ,
Second of all, the fares did
not go up on July 1. What
the young speculator whose,
case was dropped did not
know was that there is a law
against any fare rise before
Jan. 1.

Hugh Gallagher, chairman

the West Coast won't put us
at a competitive disadvantage

This is what we've been

can still get the contracts."
