Quotes From the News
BY UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL
Denison, Tex. Chaplain Ransom B. Woods, describing
his parishioners after ushers passed collectibn plates heaped
with $5 bills and Woods urged the congregation to help
themselves:
"You should have seen the looks on their faces. Some
were skeptical . . . and others were just plain flabbergasted."
Washington H. L. Thackwell, in proposing a five-stage
eolid fuel rocket for a man-on-the-moon shot:
"Assuming a starting date of Jan. 1, 1961, ii would be
possible for the U.S. to land a man on the moon by Jan
uary, 1967."
Washinslon Everett A. Thompson, when asked by iiv
vestigators looking into Florida's highway program what he
thought when he began receiving $zo in casn anonymously
each week:
"I thought I must have a mighty good friend."
Moscow Krushchev In the 1961 manifesto:
"War is not fatally inevitable."
Baker County Clerk
Snuffs Out Own Life
Baker -(UPU- Baker County
Clerk Grant Young, 64, killed
himself Monday, using first a
.22 caliber rifle and then a
shotgun.
Police said Young first
wounded himself with the
rifle in his home, then went
into the yard and fired a shot
gun into his head.
He had been in poor health
since suffering a mild heart
attack in October. He was
appointed county clerk in
1950, and was elected to the
post in 1952, 1956 and 1960.
New Psssporls
Due Travelers
Washington - IUPII - Ameri
cans traveling abroad soon
will be carrying a new, more
colorful, less expensive, eas
ier to clean, harder to coun
terfeit passport.
The new passports will be
issued starting Jan. 1. Holders
of existing passports will not
have to get new ones until
their present documents ex
pire. The State department an
nounced Monday that the new
passport will have a plastic
cover "impervious to almost
all liquids, humidity, heal,
cold, sunlight, and smudgy
hands." It will be colored
"horizon blue" instead of the
current dull, sickly green.
Passports issued to diploi
mats will be black. Maroon
passports will be issued to
non-diplomatic U.S. officials.
The ink on the green pass
rort has a tendency to run in
damp climates, sometimes
coming off on clothing. The
corners got dog-eared. All
that is supposed to be elimi
nated with the new passport,
which is the result of 18
months of research. The de
partment estimated the new
passport would cost S59.000
less each year to make.
Officials said the new pass
port would be harder for spies
to counterfeit. This is partly
because of an imprinted eagle
which appears sometimes
frontwards and sometimes in
reverse on different pages.
