Attempt Dropped to Try Owen LattimOre on Charges of Perjury

WASHINGTON, R-The gov ernment decided today to drop its 219-year-old attempt to try Owen Lattimore on charges of perjury.
 Atty. Gen. BroWnell made the announcement.
 Brownell noted that the US. District and Appeals courts here had twice thrown out key counts of indictments charging Lattimore with false testimony before the Senate Internal Security subcom- mittee in early 1852. Brownell said it thus appeared impossible to proceed on five remaining per jury counts.
 Lattimore, a Johns Hopkins lec- turer and Far Eastern affairs spe- cialist, was accused of lying in denying that he had been fol- lower or promoter of the Commit mist line.

A SKATING RECORD

Skating on natural ice in Nome, Alaska, on June 25th was. the un- usual experience of MT. Olaf Hal verSon.
 The interesting formation of ice on Bourbon Creek during the past winter made this late June skat- ing possible. There was little danger in breaking through the ice because it is still three feet thick in certain places.
 Successive overflows and freez- ing during the entire winter made this unusual accumulation of ice possible.

DARE TO BE WRONG

Dare being wrong then, If you must,
Rather than being nothing Stand and choose!
This choice distinguished life from the dust
Always there will be something you may lose
But all is lost TO him who makes no move.
Fear left more ships to founder in the deep
Than went down with faith to prove.
Life Is maintained through waking not through sleep
Dare then, to do what others dream but fear!
How did Columbus reach the land?
Some will be criticizing far and near,
Condemning all they do not understand.
But in the chorus Of the triumph song
Are always those who dared risk being wrong.

WHY LAMENT

l too could sing in sad lament
As poets do for summer spent.
And grieve that autumns leaves are shed
To make a coverlet for winters bed.
But though could. viii but smile.
Or merrily I'll laugh the while;
For autumn's glory would not miss,
so revel in a death like this.
Flame and blood and light Of sun
Gather in leaves; then one by one
They gently fall or by windy gust
Color all the earth to rust.
SO blow, high wind though it seems rude
stiD will laugh when trees stand nude
And life their reaching arms on high
As II to plead the reason why:
For summers seeming death will bring
Again ere long, another spring.
