Gray Whales
 Heading g North To Boring Sea

The gray whale is now heading north to it's summer feeding grounds in the Boring Sea in Q migration that will get little pub lie observation, according to the Fish and Wildlife Service. This whale, scenic attraction on its journey south close to shore during the winter, makes its northward migration almost un- noticed-the thousands of mi grants being spread over too wide an area in the Pacific and usually too far from shore to attract at tention. On it's way southward it travels in a relatively narrow cor ridor seldom more than three miles from shore.
 During the recent winter Fish and Wildlife observers at the La Jolla, Calif., station counted 1,782 of these animals migrating to their wintering ground along the coast of Lower California.
 Some of the whales even round the tip of the long peninsula and feed not far from the main coast of Mexico.
 Once plentiful, the gray whale was harvested to the point of near extinction. Now it is protected by international agreement Present ly it is estimated there are about 1000 adult gray whales and 800 calves, altho conditions make an accurate census difficult.

 AS usual, the legislators adopt ed the resolution without a mur- mur of dissent after hearing For eign Minister Andrei Gromyko. 1t was Gromyko's maiden speech as foreign minister in the Su- preme Soviet.
 Gromyko said it was premature to draw any conclusions about the outcome of disarmament talks in London, and that Russia was compelled to go on producing atomic weapons because of the competition imposed by the az gressive circles of certain coun- tries"
 The disciplined deputies also unanimously approved Commit mist Party Chief Khrushchev's plan to decentralize the vast Soviet industrial administrative machine.

general overhaul of the military pay system with view to weed ing out the less capable personnel and encouraging the better men to remain in service
 Wilson took no action on this, but said study would continue
 Besides the pay increases for enlisted technicians, Wilson also adopted a recommendation for lump sum bonus payments to re- serve officers who remain on ac- tive duty beyond their normal tours. This would become effec- tive starting July 1, 1859.
 Unlike the technician pay raise, the bonus plan requires congress sional approval.
 The technicians' pay boosts will be distributed this way: Air Force $19 million, Navy $15 mil lion, Army $11 million, Marine Corps $4 million.

ed in the past two weeks.
In order to secure the max
imum protection from the polio

completes the series should be
seven to twelve months after
the second.
County Health Department re-
cords indicate that last July
and August several thousand
children received their second
shot an are now due to receive
the third. DR.. Sikorsky strongly
urges all parents to have their
children 3 months through 19
years old vaccinated, and streS-
sess the Importance of immun-
ization for expectant mothers.
Since the polio season is here,
parents should contact their
family physician, or if they live
within the City limits and are
unable to pay for the vaccin-
alton they can receive their vac
cination on Thursday from 800
am. to $50 am. at the City
Health Department, 225 West

the County can receive their
vaccinations at the County

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.-There

The article, "The Negro News

written by the head of the Lin

journalism. He is now on a one
year leave as a visiting Fulbright
professor in Rome, Italy
The Gazette article divides
thnnews content of Negro news
papers into five categories: the
Negro Story, the Achievement
Story, the Negro Angled Story,
the Gossip Story, and Miscel-
laneouS News Items.
The analysis includes figures
on the size and location of the
Negro newspapers and discusses
the roles these papers play in
American society.
DR.. Pride reviews the fuctions
of these papers and cities the
several press creedS that have
envolved from the newrooms OF
Negro Journals.
He stated: Evils in the areas
of race, creed, and color are pos
sible going to re-emerge in the
new order in more subtle and

There will be uncOmely and
