Day s Hews
By FRANK JENKINS
Mishmash in the news:
London's Big Ben clock, which
every tourist has seen, stopped
for 52 minutes the other day
and tor eight minutes less than
an hour Londoners in the area
of the Parliament building were
left with an uneasy feeling that
something terrible was about to
happen. Without Big Ben's boom
ing voice, that part of London
just isn't quite itself.
What happened?
Later investigation revealed that
a workman who had been tinker
ing with the big clock had gone
off and left a paint brush in its
innards.
Big Ben is the great bell in
the great clock in the clock tower
of Hie Parliament building. It
weighs tons, and was cast
in 1858. a little more than a cen
tury ago.
The big clock that strikes the
hours on Big Ben has four dials,
each 22'z feet in diameter. The
minute hands are 14 feet long and
the hour hands arc nine feet long.
The numbers around the dial are
two feet high, and the minute
spaces are a foot square.
The big clock got off its routine
once before and boomed forth thir
teen strokes at midnight which
upset Londoners no end. There's
an old saying to the etlecl tnat
every dog is entitled lo one bite.
so one supposes that Big Ben ought
to be entitled to two mechanical
upsets in lOfi years.
From Saigon:
Diplomatic sources interpret the
Vict Nam government s removal
of gold and foreign exchange from
Saigon banks to the PKlSMDbN-
T1AL PALACE the other day as
a precaution against a head-on
clash with the U.S. over current
policy. These sources indicated
tlial the withdrawal of the gold
and the currency was probably In
preparation for shipping it out of
the country.
Where to?
Well, probably to some place
where the Big Shots can pick it
up if and when thc-y have to skip
the country.
Question:

Did you ever ask yourself that
one?

Even in very high doses, Waalk

inellective in treating animal can

call any tests of Creatine for
treatment of human cancer.
But, he added, it is "impossible
to conceive how the minute doses
of Creatine (in the Krebiozen
sample tested i could be of any
value in treating cancer in view
of the large amounts of Creatine
already in the body."
Waalkes said that every human

WASHINGTON lUPD - The

Both Sen. Richard B. Russell

heads the preparedness subcom
mittee, said concern over possi
ble military disadvantages of the

A UPI poll of other members
of the armed services committee
showed two senators in favor of
ratification, three undecided and
one undecided by leaning toward
ratification.
Sens. Stuart Symington, Do-Mo.,

Wallace Set
To Explain

Gov. George C. Wallace headed
for this racially tense city Sat
urday to consult with a battery
of constitutional lawyers and pre
pare for Alabamlans an expla
nation of his struggle to maintain
decades of classroom segregation.
Wallace was to arrive from
Montgomery during the afternoon
and enter into immediate consulta
tion with the lawyers, about 20 of
rhem, to1 discuss a series of
moves during the week that re
sulted in the closing of eight
schools.
The wrath of manf white pa
rents was aroused in four cities
and there were moves to force
Ihe schools to reopen.
By executive order and the
might of his armed etate troop
ers, Wallace closed schools in
Tuskcgee, Huntsville and Birming
ham.
With integrated classes sched
uled to begin Monday in several
cities, Wallace has kept school
authorities guessing about his next
move to forestall school Integra
tion. The governor was also sched
uled to speak at a banquet given
by the United Americans for Con

vative group that has backed his
school closures.
Wallace and his legal battery
will also tape a forum-type tele
vision program for statewide dis
tribution Sunday night giving a
"Layman's explanation" of his
action in opposing desegregation
of public schools.
