Mama Grizzly Bear Severely Claws Fairbanks Man

FAIRBANKS, (P) - Dan Lud- dington want sthe hide of the bear that bit him.
 Luddington, owner of the Sum init Lodge roadhOuse Is miles southeast of here. told his story in a Fairbansks hospital yesterday.
 He had 200 stitches taken in his face, scalp, arm and leg after a terrific mauling by a she-grizzley with her cub, which Dan met head on near Summit Lake last week.
 My rifle failed to fire the first bullet" he recounted, land she got me down, she was paving, maui ing and raking me with her claws and I was trying to get away and at the same time reload my rifle.
 "It seemed like my head was in her mouth when I got another shell in the chamber. I managed to get my rifle around while she was dragging me by one leg.
 "The bullet hit her in the chest and she dropped"
 Luddington painfully inched himself a mile to a road where he was picked up by an Alaska Freight Lines truck.

SCHOOL NOTES

October 18th was Columbus Day. Christopher Columbus was born in 145l and died in 1906. At a nearly age, he read the romantic adventures of Marco Polo. He was convinced that the world was round, an idea shared with Scien- tiSts of that day. With financial aid from King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella, Columbus set sail with three vessels, Santa Maria, Pinta, and the Nina. For seventy days they sailed in fear of sea dragons.
 A variation in the compass and a meteor hissing into the sea near by startled them. Many of his sail ors had been drafted from crim- inals in prison. On various occa- Sions, they had planned to mutiny and to throw him overheard.
 Early on Oct. 18th, 1492, land was sighted. It is believed that he landed on one of the Bahama Is lands.
 Students in typing I are work ing on lessons which show prog ress in their work. One minute tests are taken regularly by the students.
 The world history class has been occupied in the study of Roman history especially the three Punic Wars. Other topics of discussion have been the first triumvirate, Caesar in Gaul and the crossing of the Rubicon.
 Words of appreciation for the last High School annual, the Po- laris, have been received from Loretta Snyder, Margaret Bjorn- stad, Bertha Fiscus, Corinne Syn der, Marilyn Dowd and George Bourbon.

WASHINGTON (PJ-The House armed services committee agreed yesterday to hear the airforce next week in reply to the naVy's bitter criticism of its B-36 bombber pro- gram. Secretary of defense John son also will testify then.
 Chairman .Vinson D.-Ga0 and Secretary Johnson held a long conference yesterday morning. Afterwards, Vinson announced the schedule for the next phase of the committees inquiry into military policy.
 Vinson said that beginning next week the committee will hear Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, Gen. Omar Bradley, secretary of air Syming- ton and air force officers.
 Then, he added, Secretary Johnson will give the committee and the country" his views.
 Johnson, as civilian boss of all the armed services, is caught squarely in the cross-fire of the angry controversy over military policy.
 He also has come in for harsh words from some Congress mem bers because, by executive order, he has cut back appropriations that the lawmakers made for the navy.
 Vinson publicly accused John son Wednesday of making "a grandstand play" by economizing on navy funds. He said the com mittee "iS to have a lot to say about this"

fans. Rita Hayworth is really and truly princess.
 Some in the international society set have been scoffing that Rita didn't deserve the title she's been using since she married Ally Khan. Their argument: Aly's title of prince usually has been regarded as a courtesy handle because his father is the Aga Khan, spiritual leader to a large Moslem sect.
 But yesterday Trans ambassa- dor informed the Aga Khan that the Iran government considered him as a prince of the last dynasty of Iranian kings.
