Wayward Whale Now Cat Food
San Francisco - IUPD - San
Franciscans sniffed the a i r
cautiously today and breathed
a sigh of relief - the body of
the wayward whale of Pier
50 was gone.
The carcass of the 20-fool
grey whale was removed from
the maze of pilings below the
pier Wednesday and towed
away to become whale oil and
cat food.
The 4,000-pound mammal
became trapped under the pier
late Monday night and was
badly injured trying to free
itsplf It was shot bv the hu
mane society Tuesday, but
there was a delay in the deci
sion about wnat snouia dc
done with the carcass.
The SPCA said its respon
sibility ended when the whale
was put out of its misery, thn
Coast Guard maintained it

Advisors Say U.S.
May Have to Delay
Spaceman Program
Washington . (UP11 Advisers
lo President-elect John' F.
Kennedy have suggested that
the .United, Stales might have
lo switch missiles for its man-
in -space program possibly
causing a delay of at least a
year in putting an astronaut
in orbit.
The possibility was raised
Wednesday in a report sub
milted lo Kennedy by a spe
cial "task force." The report
said the man-in-space program
is ailing, the United States
trails Russia in missile devel
opment and there is an ur
gent need for n single military
space command.
The United States now
plans to send a man into orbit
by the end of 1961 In a cap
sule atop an Alias interconti
nental ballistic missile. The
task force told Kennedy a Ti
tan missile may have to be
used instead.
Headed by PhyiicUt
The task force was headed
by Dr. Jerome B. Wiesnef, 45.
year-old physicist at the Mas
sachusetts Institute of teen
nology and Kennedy's newly
named special assistant for
science and technology.
He was aided by former
Air Force Asst. Secy. Travor
t
said it was no concern of
theirs.
The American President
Lines, which rents Pier 50,
argued that it was "not a
good situation."
The aroma of dead whale
tends to detract from the ro
mance of beginning a cruise
to the South Seas.
The Port Authority came
up with the solution.
It maintained that if the
carcass was dragged from un
der the pier and into the bay,
it would become a peril to
navigation, and therefore the
responsibility of the Coast
Guard.
The carcass was lowed to
Pier 18 - and custody of the
Coast Guard, which delivered
it to the Del Monte cat food
factory in nearby Richmond;
Amendment Also
Would Require
Judicial Work
Washington - ItM - Sen.
Herman E. Talmadge intro
duced a constitutional amend
ment today which in effect
would kill the Supreme Court
ruling that Negroes may not
be barred from white schools
on racial grounds.
The Georgia Democrat also
offered a bill which would
prevent federal courts from
enforcing integration of south
ern schools.
In a speech prepared for
delivery in the Senate, Tal
madge linked his proposals
with the integration crises at
the University of Georgia and
in New Orleans, although he
did not cite them specificially.
He also introduced meas
ures lo demand that Supreme
Court justices have at least
five years of substantial
judicial experience, force the
Supreme Court to accord full
hearings to all parties before
acting on lower court rulings
and require jury trials in all
contempt cases arising from
disobedience of lower court
decisions.
Talmadge previously has in
troduced this legislative pack
age with little success. But he
vowed to keep pushing his
proposals.

Television To
Carry Conference
Palm Beach - (UPD - President-elect
John F. Kennedy
has decided to put his first
press conference as Chief
Executive on live television
Jan. 25, five- days after he
takes office.
Kennedy made the basic de
cision to put at least some of
his news conferences before
the public via instantaneous
TV and radio some time ago,
and the agreement with the
networks to start immediately
after the inauguration was an
n o u n c e d here Wednesday
night by his press secretary,
Pierre Salinger.
Not all of Kennedy's meet
ings with reporters will be
televised for immediate use.
The present thought is to have
a TV news conference roughly
every five or six weeks inter
spersed by conventional ques-tion-and-answer
sessions film
ed as they are now under
President Eisenhower for lat
er showing.
Authorities Press
Investigation Into
Portland Slayings
Portland (UPB Authorities
pressed their investigation to
day into the Peyton - Allan
murder case in hopes of com
ing up with a lead that would
locate the slayers of a Port
land State college student and
his pretty coed girl friend.
Officers said there were
some people they wanted to
talk to but indicated there
was nothing lo link them with
the case.
One, authorities said, is a
sailor from the Tongue Point
Naval Station near Astoria,
who obtained a 48-hour week
end pass for Nov. 26 and 27
and has not returned to the
base.
Editor May Be
USIA Director
Palm Beach, Fla.-OIPD-Presi-dent-elect
John F. Kennedy
is considering the possibility
of naming the liberal North
Carolina editor and author,
Jonathan Daniels, as head of
the United States Information
Agency, it was learned today.
Daniels, editor of the Ra
leigh News and Observer, is
one of three men under active
consideration for the USIA
post and his name figured in
a conference today between
Kennedy and Gov. Terry San
ford of North Carolina, ac
cording to well informed
sources.
Kennedy has nol made up
his mind about a final selec
tion, but these sources said
Daniels figured prominently
in the president-elect's delib
erations. A public announce
ment was expected before the
Jan. 20 inauguration.
Daniels is a veteran at gov
ernment service. He served on
the White House staffs of
Presidents Roosevelt and Tru
man. The USIA post has been
vacant since the recent resig
nation of George V. Allen.
