Ketchikan Chiropodist
 Attacked By Marauding Wolf While Out Camping

KETCHIKAN, R-A Ketchikan chiropodist narrowly escaped ser ious, or possibly fatal injuries, when he was attacked by a marauding wolf while camping at nearby Hickman Lake.
 Dr. H. D. Kingland, his hand and arm Iacerated, brought in the wolf's feet yesterday for the reg ular $50 bounty and told of the incident.
 Kingland said he was awakened early Monday by the sound of big wolf killing deer near his camp. He sneaked out in his underwear, took a shot at the marauder, felled it and then aim- lessly fired all the rest of his shells in the wolf's direction.
 The killer, not badly wounded, scrambled up and leaped for the doctors throat. Kingland tended off the attack, with his arm, which was raked by the wolf's teeth.
 The sound of the firing reused Kingland's companion, Ed Wolfe, who grabbed up a .45 revolver, rushed to the scene and handed it to the doctor. Kingland made his next shot count.

Ike Says His Objective Is To Get His Legislative Program Enacted Now

 The President made the state ment at his news conference after virtually barring questions on the sharp controversy between members of his administration and Sen. Mccarthy.
 The President said that from now on he has just one objective - to get his legislative program enacted.
 In a prepared statement, Eisen- hover said "the constant surveil- lance of Communists in this coun- try, is a 24-hour seven-days-a- week, 52-weeks-a-year job.

It is being done quietly and relentless ly and those who best know it's effectiveness are the Communists themselves.
 Then Eisenhower alluded to a statement which Atty. Gen. Brownell isued last Friday and the President said it was put out at his (Eisenhower's direction.
 That amounted to a reaffirma- ton of the administration position with respect to Mccarthy.
