Sea Monster Washed Up on Beach Puzzles Everyone

Mortenson, operators of small fishing camp at the mouth of the Akwe, viewed it and said more than 50 feet of its length was above the sand at that time.
 Wide Eye Sockets
 Its head measures 51s feet in width. The eye sockets, with fragments of decaying flesh still clinging to them, are between 2 and g inches in diameter. The sockets are approximately 42 inches apart.
 Reddish-brown hair about two inches long covers the thick, de- caying hide. Thick, oily-like blood flowed freely from puffy parts of the flesh when poked with a stick or shovel.
 No blubber or fat is visible on the carcass and the crimson flesh

 YUKATAT Alaska, R-A frighteningly huge carcass, con- servatively estimated at more than 100 feet long and Is feet wide at the broadest visible point, has washed up on the sandy, wind-swept shore of the Gulf of Alaska, so miles southeast of here.
 The hairy-coated monster has mystified the few persons who have seen it, including me.
 Prehistoric Beast ?
 Speculation as to what it might be have ranged from an extinct prehistoric beast long encased in a nearby glacier to some warm blooded sea animal.
 Much of the carcass is now buried in the sand 125 feet from the oceans edge on the shore of

Eisenhower, at Panama Conference, Calls for Inter-American Cooperation To Combat Disease and Ignorance


 hover, nearing the end of his visit to Panama, said today that on this trip q have abeen improv- ing every day, I've felt better every day"
 Here as a convalescent for Pan American conference, Eisen- hover made the remark to Presi- dent-Elect Herman Siles Zuazo of Bolivia.
 The Bolivian asked Eisenhower how he felt as the two were part ing after conferring at the US. Embassy. Eisenhower looked as if he were feeling all right, even though he was up late last night after busy day in which he urged hemisphere unity in ad- vancing human welfare.
 Eisenhower stretched his good will mission through an extra day to be host at the US. Em- bassy to 10 other American Pres idents or Presidents-elect in a series of half-hour talks. He was slated to take off on the return flight to Washington at pm. Boring Standard Time.
 The US. Chief Executive al- ready has talked to eight other national leaders who came here for the conference. Still conva- lescing from his June 9 intestinal operation, he has appeared tired at times, but in the main he seemed to relish the proceedings.
 The party, which commemor- ates the first Pan-American Con ference called by Simon Bolivar, the South American liberator 130 years ago, ended yesterday. It closed in an historic setting with the signing of declaration of principles and 319 hours of speeches.
 Eisenhower took only nine minutes for his address. He made one major point-the Americas already have put together mechanism for meeting aggres- sion or Communist intervention in their affairs. Let Us join to find ways which will enable our peoples to combat the ravages of disease, poverty and ignorance" he declared.
 He proposed forming, in effect, a commission of human prob lens with a representative of each of the 21 American republics to offer practical suggestions in the economic, financial, social and technical fields.
 Such a commission, he said, could consider ways to hasten ''the beneficial use of nuclear forces throughout the hemisphere both in industry and in com batting disease ."
 He said he had decided to name his brother Milton as US. repre- sentative on the proposed new commission.

An interesting old man who
loves to talk about old times, is
Franklin Bentley Black. 79-year-
.lCld storekeeper at Bayboro.
He earned the nickname
Judge Black" during the sec
ond and third decades of the
present century by serving as
magistrate for three terms. He
has always been jovial and
friendly with acquaintance,
and the weight of his years has
failed to depreSs that personal
Iity.
Judge Black was born in Ca
harrus county IN. c. Septemb-
er 10, 1876 near Concord and
grew up on a rugged and rocky
farm.
On January S, 1905, he step
ped off train at Gurley to take
a job with the Horny Lumber
Co., owned by Thrower and
Godfrey of Cheraw. At that
time, Gurley was a progressive
small town with several stores,
a postoffice, express and tele-
graph office, a lumber plant
complete with planning machin-
cry, and possibly a turuentine
still and cotton gin.
On Blacks second day in the
Timber mill he was promoted to
be foreman. He soon married a
local girl, Callie E. Tyler of
bayboro, and stayed on to be-
come a permanent citizen.
With the passing of the lumb-
er mill, when the supply of
choice trees was exhausted, he
became a farmer and was a ia
mlliar figure with corn meal all
over his face and clothing dur
ing the 80 years he operated a
grist mill. Hs had reputation
for grinding high quality fine
meal.
Asked about his most exciting
experience as a magistrate, he
told of homocide that occurred
near Bayboro about the time OF
the first World War when one
drunk Shot another.
He could not be sure whether
number of men were all try
ing 10 court the same woman OF
whether they were gathered al
Ia home where contrabranC
lWhiSkey was sold. Somebody
notified the nearest magistrate
(which was Black. He crankec
up his car and hurried to the
scene of the crime, where he
found a man dying with two
IIpistol wounds-one in the alb.
comen and another in the
shoulder.
He asked the dying man VIII,
shot him and received definite
reply. Soon thereafter, observer.
r. marked that the wounded
man had eased off to Sleep
Judge Black replied yes, never
to revive"

THE WEEK IN RELIGION
Clergy Urged to Work
With Psychiotrists
By RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE

BY RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE
Churchmen and doctors in
this country are stressing the
need for closer cooperation be-
tween pSychiatrist and clergy
man in the field Of psychoso-
matte medicine.
One school Of thought holds
that religion and psychiatry have
nothing in common. But the
more widespread sentiment ap-
pears to be that the two can,
and should, work together.
The latter viewpoint was en-
phasized last week at the an
nual meeting of the Church
Conference of Social Work in
st. Louis.
DR.. Alfred K. Bauer, super
intendent of State Hospital at
Fulton, Mo-, told the church,
men it was time to end the
"we-won't-b o h e r-you-i f-you-
don't-bother-us" attitude which
he said exists among too many
clergymen and psychiatrists.
Achieve Cooperation
He recalled a recent address
by DR.. r. Finley Gayle. jr..
president of the American
Psychiatric Association. who de-
clared that psychiatry and re-
ligion are now ready to move
gradually from the status Of
peaceful co-existence" to one
of active cooperation.
DR.. Gayle's talk was regarded
as one of the most notable on the
subject by a practising psy-
chiatrist.
Some Of the points he made
we're:
Clergymen and psychiatrists
must continue to study ways in
which they can work together,
especially in mental hospitals
where many patients are beg
ging" for religious guidance and
help.
In this cooperative effort,
only clergymen of high calibre
and proper training and temper
ament should be used.
