f . - r f'i z . E 4-Jit a &t 1 VACATIONING in Fort Worth, Tex, Louisiana's Gov. Earl Long shouts during press conference. Village Church Closes to Visitors Jacksonville - The Village church, Jacksonville, which was opened for visitors last Friday, Saturday and Sunday will not be opened again this summer until a new arrange ment may be worked out, church officials reported to day. It had been hoped by church officials that the old Methodist church which was established in 1854, could be left open part of each week for viewing by tourists. Since the church was un able to have a person at the building a wire screen had been constructed over the open door so visitors could look inside. Last week vandals kicked in the screen and moved around the pews and furni ture inside, a church spokes man said. Although it was re ported , that nothing was broken or taken from the building it will be several weeks before the church can be straightened up so it may be used for services. i TV Show Closed To Humphrey in Fear Of Equal Time Law Washington (LTD One tel evision network closed its co axial eye on Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey today but another flashed him a welcome whether he's announced or unannounced as a presiden tial candidate. And Congress, it appeared, was being impelled to speed up action on a bill to let all presidential candidates make TV-radio news program ap pearances without getting net work hosts in trouble with the law. Might Fores Equal Time The Minnesota Democrat was knocked off the Colum b i a Broadcasting System's July 19 "Face The Nation" TV show because network attor neys felt he had become a presidential candidate. This, CBS explained with regret, might force the network to give obscure candidates equal time on that program. Humphrey replied that this was "all nonsense," and was both "unnecessary and un founded." He said the fact that Gov. Orville L. Freeman and Sen. Eugene J- McCarthy, of Minnesota, had set up a Humphrey - for - President or ganization did not make him a formal candidate. His explanation had scarce ly hit the news wires when the senator announced that the National Broadcasting Com pany had invited him to ap pear this morning on its show "Today" Humphrey, who al ready had gotten some legal advice, quickly accepted. Video Hardship . The senator said that if the CBS position were maintained it would work the same kind of video hardship on other "potential" presidential can didates for whom state or lo c a 1 presidential campaign committees have started func tioning. The list, he said, includes Sens. John F. Kennedy CD- Mass.), Stuart Symington (D Mo.), and pernaps even Ma jority Leader Lyndon B. John son (D-Tex.). But a solution awaited a tion in the Senate itself. The Senate Interstate Commerce Committee unanimously ap proved a bill Wednesday ex empting news programs from the equal time requirements of the federal communica tions law. Actor David lliven, Wife Separate Hollywood (UPD David Ni ven, Academy Award winner, and his second wife revealed Thursday they have separated after 11 years of marriage but do not plan an immediate di vorce. .

Booth Kelly has some three billion feet of timber holdings in Oregon, plus its big saw mill at Springfield. Quotes From the News By United Press International Bethlehem, Pa.-Steel Union President David J. McDonald, addressing strikers while touring picket lines here: "The concessions the industry has demanded would rape the union contract. They want to destroy all you've worked so hard to get." Hollywood-Actor David Niven, revealing that he and his wife have separated, but do not plan an immediate divorce: "We are trying to work out our problems as quietly and personally as possible." Buford, Ga.-State Prisons Director Jack Forrester, after his threats had quelled a "sit down"- strike by 111 convicts at a prison rock quarry: "We didn't make any concessions. We're going to run these prisons if we have to pack them in isolation like college boys in phone booths." . ' 1 . Washington-Vice Chairman Karl E. Mundt (R-S.D.) of the Senate Rackets Committee, on the question of contribu tions made by UAW members toward election campaigns of the auto union's officers: .'..' "Some new documentary evidence has come to light." End of Hanford Strike Seen Dim Richland (DPD - R. W. Schaffer, business,, agent of Electrical Workers Union Local 77, said Thursday there was no immediate hope of a settlement in the strike by c'onstruction workers at the Hanford Atomic Works. Schaffer said the pickets would continue to be set up daily on all roads leading to Hanford "until a satisfactory agreement is reached." The pickets made their first appearance Monday. They were set up by the local in protest of a $9,415 contract to the Estep Co., Yakima, which employs non-union labor. About 500 workers refused to cross the picket lines earlier this week but Wednes day more than 100 men re ported back to their jobs. Schaffer said a "few more workers" reported this morn ing. Two firms, the J. A. Jones Co., and the Shaw and Estes Co., have filed unfair labor charges with the National Labor Relations Board's reg ional office at Seattle. Both companies charge the pickets are a "secondary boycott," halting their contracts with the AEC; The AEC has estimated that about $18 million worth of construction has been stalled by the strike. i Fire Danger in Northwest High Portland -flJPD- Fire danger, is high in the Pacific North west.

Visitors To Truman Museum Dazzled by Display of Jewels Independence, Mo. (UPD Close to 200,000 persons have visited the Truman Library, and most of them have asked the mild-mannered guard the same question: Are the jewels encrusting two large knives and two scimitars on display really real? They are The large diamonds, sap phires, rubies and pearls glit tering in gold settings laid out on velvet is estimated by B a r n e 1 1 Helzberg Jr., vice president of a large jewelry concern, to be worth "possi bly as much as a quarter of a million dollars To the layman the dazzling array,, displayed in a simple glass case, looks like some thing straight irom the treas ure chest of an Oriental po tentate; and it is. Gift of Gratitude The ornately bejeweled weapons were a gift of grati tude to President Truman from King Ibn Saud and Prince Saud of Saudi Arabia. They were in royal apprecia tion after Truman sent his personal White House physi cian to tend the ailing monarch. While the jeweled weapons are probably the museum's most spectacular exhibit, they no more than tie for ' first place in public interest, ac cording to staff members. Equal attention, particular ly that of small boys, is drawn to George Washing ton's signature. The first Pres ident's name, signed to several documents, seems to fascinate the youngsters. Lucky visitors to the li brary may also get a glimpse of Truman himself as he steps, briskly out to lunch or re turns from a mid-morning trip to his home for a cup of coffee. The former President and his staff occupy a suite of offices in another wing of the building, which is 550 feet long. Central Theme The museums central theme is the Presidency of the United States, its duties, re sponsibilities and history.' Something relative to each of the nation's chief execu tives, from Washington to Dwight D. Eisenhower,, is on display. The range is wide. Some exhibits, have great in trinsic or historical value; some are merely curiosities. In size they vary from a 17- foot Persian rug to tiny cam paign badges. The largest single display is the full-sized reproduction of the President's office. Built from the original plans and furnished with duplicates of the original furnishings, it contains pictures, maps and desk ornaments used by Tru man. Among them is his fa mous desk sign: "The Buck Stops Here." A recorded message by Tru man tells, at the touch of a button, much about the room as well as the significance of the Presidency. Papers on Loan On loan from the National Archives in Washington is an historically important collec tion of American state pa pers. .They include such fa mous items as the Alaska Purchase treaty with Russia of 1867; proclamations of war with Mexico in 1846 and Ger many in 1917, signed respec tively by Presidents Polk and Wilson; Truman's 1945 V-E Day proclamation; and a mes sage from President Thomas Jefferson requesting that Con gress appropriate $2,500 so he could send Lewis and Clark to explore the newly-purchased Louisiana territory. Lewis and Clark incident ally, passed within two miles of the Library's location on their way west. Another favorite document of visitors is the draft of a letter from Washington to Alexander Hamilton dated March 30, 1789, and express ing a relatively simple re quest-that lodging be engaged for Washington in New York City. The first President evident ly had some difficulty com posing the simple note. The letter to' Hamilton is inter lined and scratched, with numerous alterations.
