Pony Express Goes
Through One-Time
Wilcl Mining Town
Placerville, Calif., OlPn -The
Pony Express came
through here again Wednes
day Just as it did a century
ago when the West was young
and wild and this place a
rip-roaring mining town.
The city was called Hang
town then, in memory of a
few killers and others who
were strung up by the towns
folk. It was also a big center
for the Pony Express - the
xtoried mail-carrying service
to the Old West. Hangtown
was an express terminus for
a while and then a spot where
the riders got a fresh change
of mount. This happened in
front of the Alta Telegraph
Co. on the west end of town.
The arrival of the express
was always greeted by the
red-shirted band and a group
of cheering inhabitants.
In all there were 308
cross country runs through
here, which saw the riders
carry the mail 616,000 miles
and deliver 34,753 letters.
Only one package of mail
was lost.
Special Stamp Iuud
The United States is cele
brating the 100th birthday of
the express this month by is
suing a 4-cent stamp to hon
or it and by recreating the
old mail ride between St. Jo
seph, Mo., and Sacramento,
Calif.
Riders took off 1,900 miles
apart at the two towns Tues
day night. About 1,000 riders
will carry- the two special
packets across the - western
half of the nation and hope
to reach the end of the ride
July 28.
,The first to leave St. Jo
seph was Tex Cushman, 62, a
mailman who looked as lean
and sinewy as the 18-year-olds
who carried the express
a century ago.
The Westbound riders av
eraged between six and sev- j
en miles per hour during the
early stages of the run Tues
day with riders switching ev
ery four miles or so.
No Swearing
"Postmaster General Arthur
Summerfield was on hand at
Sacramento for ceremonies to
launch the eastbound riders.
The 46 men who were to car
ry the mail to the Nevada
border first took oaths from
Summerfield.
With their right hands rais
ed, they swore - as did the
original riders - "before the
great and living God" that
during their engagement they
would "under no circum
stances, use profane lan
guage." They also promised that
they would "drink no intoxi
cating liquors," and that they
would "not quarrel or fight
with any other employee of
the firm" and that they
would be "faithful to my du
ties." The riders were also given
a promise by Piute Chief Har.
ry Winnemucca - represent
ing all Indians - that they
could cross the nation safely.
Crash Kills Five

Placerville, Calif. - IUH) -

Calif., family, returning home

the vehicle burst into flames.
Garibaldi Man a.
Drowns in Bay
Garibaldi - 0IPD - Raymond
P. Davis, Garibaldi, drowned
Wednesday afternoon at the
mouth of Garibaldi bay when
the small boat in which he
was riding overturned.
' Davis was an occupant of
the craft along with his wife
and pet cat. The cat also
drowned.
Mrs. Davis was rescued by
nearby fishermen. She was
taken to Tillamook general
hospital in severe shock.
Dragging operations for the
body were begun by the Coast
Guard and skin divers from
the Tillamook county sheriff's
office.
Motorcycle Chases
Bats From Belfry '
Hadlelgh, England-IUPD-The
Very Rev. Wi J.' Brown re
ported In his parish magazine
today he had rid his belfry of
"no fewer than 750 bats by
borrowing a motorcycle, start
ing it up in the church and
blowing . its horn continu
ously." ' '
The Rocket Research Insti
tute of Sacramento blasted off
two 16-foot cargo rockets con
taining 4,000 letters on a IV
mile flight. An institute
spokesman explained that as
the Pony Express was the
mail-delivery method of the
past, these rockets represent
ed the mail carrying device
of the future.
Soviet Court Which Will Hear Powers Case Tried Red Purgers
By PHIL NEWSOM
UPI Foreign Editor
On Aug. 17, Francis G.
Powers achieves the dubious
distinction of b e c o m I n g
)WWI the first
v m e r i c h n
to oe inea
in open So
viet court on
spy charges.
The official
k4 Soviet news
agency Tass
a n no u n ced
the trial date
Phil nkwsom "no said the
case had been "accepted" by
the "Military Collegium of
the Supreme Court of the
U.S.S.R." a court usually re
served for high ranking offi
cers only,
Thus, on his 31st birthday,
the pilot whose U-2 hlgh-uUi-tude
reconnaissance plane
was shot down over Sverd
lovsk last May 1 becomes an
individual pawn in a show
trial whose primary objec
tive will be to further the So
viet campaign labeling the
United States an aggressor
nation.
There was no indication of
the defense which Powers
will be permitted after 108
days in the hands of Soviet
Interrogators.
Could Fact Death
Conviction could result In
n prison sentence of from
seven lo 15 years or death be
fore a firing squad.
A grim history lies behind
the thrco-Judite collegium
which is Soviet Russia's hlglt
e.st military court.
The lale Dictator Josef Sta
lin used it as his favorite in
strument to eliminate possible
rivals.
His favorite prosecutor was
the late Andrei Vyshlnskl
who afterward became Sta
lin's chief cold war spokes
man before the United Na
tions and In world councils,
In three spectacular trials
In l:i, 11)37 ami 11138 Sta
lin purged tint Communist
Party of most of Iho lending
"old Bolsheviks." Thuy were
the giants of early cnmniu?
nlsm, but one and all they
"confessed" lo the crimes of
treason and sabotage as
charged by Slalln.
They Included former Pre
mier A. I. Uykov, and two
former presidents of the Com
munist International, Greg
ory Zlnovlev and Nikolai
Bukharln.
- United Press International's
veteran Moscow manager nl
tended those trials and recalls
hearing Vyshlnskl order llip
military aupreiup court to
"sluml the mud Fascist dogs."
Henry Shapiro adds, "Most
of the memluM's of Lenin's
central commltlco then were
liquidated."
Diplomats, cabinet minis
ters economic experts and
honored soldiers disappeared
one nfler the other, victims of
Stalin's terror apparatus.
So sweeping were the
purges that years later Nlkl
in Khrushchev revealed they
left tho Soviet Union's de
fense completely unprepared
for the Gorman onslaught
Beyond the date and Iho
court that will try him, little
clso of tho Powers case Is
known, U. S. officials have
not been permitted to see him
since his capture.
