Story of $1,000 Bill
Has q Happy Ending

CLEVELAND, June Is Dr.
This is the story of a wandering
81 900 bill and a devout couple
from the Philippines who put
their trust in God.
The couple are Juan C. VAL
DEE and his wife, Esperanto,
delegates to the Seventh-day
Adventist World Convention
here. The story of the $1,000
bill started June Is when the
couple withdrew from the Riggs
National Bank in Washington
most Of their balance there. It
was money loaned by relatives
to help them through the Uni
versity Of Maryland, where both
are studying for doctorate de-
grees in education.
Mr.. Valdez took the $1,000
in one crisp bill and folded it
carefully inside a notebook. He
did not know how much money
he would need in Cleveland and
thought this would be q good
way to carry it.
Last Thursday. after taking
q sightseeing trip around Cleve-
land. Mr.. Valdez discovered he
had lost the $1,000 bill. Mrs.
Valdez said that when the loss
was discovered they prayed and
asked the Lord to take care
Of it." The loss could mean
delay-possibly q year-in IN
ishing their studies and getting
back to teaching in the Philip
pines.
The loss was not reported
until Monday.
Yesterday the Adventists

passed the hat at Cleveland
Auditorium and raised $l,216
to cover the loss. That made
the couple very happy.
Then today the wandering
$1,000 bill turned up on a side
walk in downtown Cleveland.
The finder. John w. Myron,
a 6l-year-old truck driver, said
he saw a man pick it up, look
at it and throw it away. l guess
he thought it was phony. When
I picked it up I thought so
too, but l stuck it in my pocket. .
His wife thought it was fake
too. Neither of us had ever
seen a $1,000 bill. Then we
read about, the couple losing
such a bill and we began to
think it might be the real
thing"
After the return Of the bill
Mr.. Valdez gave Mr.. Myron q
500 reward.

rilla fighter in the Philippines

Boy, L, Offers Plan to Send Rocket
With Monkey Into Space and Back

The United States, its satel-
lite program tagging and its
space-age prestige sagging, has
been given AL the elements of
a workable system" for catching
up in the space race within the
coming year.
The plan came from a H.
year-old boy.
Jonathan Orovitz, air-minded
son Of a Flushing IN. " de-
partment store owner, preached
his plan in a letter a month
ago to the Pentagon's research
chief, DR.. Roy w. johnson. The
success Of the Russians in
launching the lla-ton Sputnik
III on May is got him to think
ing. Jonathan said.
What came out of long hours
Of lonely cerebration in his
book filled room was what
Jonathan called Project
Oracle" It emissions using
existing hardware to launch a
monkey carrying. 4,630-pound
returnable satellite.
Jonathan's satellite launcher
would be a beefed-up Atlas in
tercontinental missile. 1t would
fire the 2A-ton monkey carry
ing satellite into an elliptical
orbit Of 800 to 1850 miles alti-
tude. After two weeks it would
be returned through the atmos-
phere by virtue Of a protective
nose cone and would be landed
in the ocean where it would
float until picked up.

ments Of a workable system

Mr.. McLaughlin's proposal

who said he was outraged" at
slurs on the agency.
The latest development in
the subcommittee's inquiry into
relations between Sherman
Adams, President Eisenhower's
No. ! assistant. and Mr.. Gold
fine came when Joseph T. Con-
lon. a subcommittee attorney
read into the record q memo
randum of an interview June
~ with Thomas Meeker, SEC
general counsel.
The memorandum described
the interest shown in the Gold
fine case by a White House
aide and Republican Senators
Paine of Maine and Cotton Of
New Hampshire.
Interview Described
Mr.. Conlon described an in
terview with Mr.. Meeker re-
garding visit Mr.. Meeker made
to the White House to discuss
the Goldfine case with Gerald
Morgan, the Presidents spe-
cial counsel. The subcommit-
tee already has been told that
Mr.. Morgan inquired about the
case at Mr.. Adams request.
Mr.. Conlon testified that the
SEC counsel told him that Mr..
Morgan may have mentioned
during the White House con-
ference in the middle of Feb
ruary. 1856, that Mr.. Goldfine
was a Republican.
But later in the interview,
Mr.. Conlon said, Mr.. Meeker
expressed doubt about any men,
ton having been made of Mr..
Goldfine's politics. For that
reason. the subcommittee at
torney added. he had omitted
reference to this in his memo
randum on the Meeker inter-
view.
HAY on Details
The staff memorandum indi-
Gated that Mr.. Meeker was hazy
on the details Of his conference
with the Presidents special
counsel at the White House.
According to the memorandum,
Mr.. Meeker was unable to re-
call whether Mr.. Morgan had
called about the status of a
case involving Mr.. Goldfine's
East Boston Co.. or whether the
appointment was "set up" by
Mr.. Armstrong. then SEC
chairman.
In the give-and-take session
with Mr.. Armstrong, now an
Assistant Secretary of the
Navy, the subcommittee never
got around to asking before
the noon recess If he had set
up the appointment.
At any rate. Mr.. Meeker

BEIRUT, Lebanon, June Is
R.-Heavy firing broke out In
Lebanon late today shortly
after the government announced
1t had asked for an armed U. u,

President Camille Glamour
said he expected a big rebel
push against his pro-Western
government at any hour, but 1t
was too soon to say whether
this was 1t.
The heaviest firing was heard
in Ghandak Ghamik, on the
outskirts Of the Basta section Of
Beirut, where rebel forces under
former Premier Saeb Salam are
entrenched inside barbados.
Shooting broke out in the
post Office area at about the
same time and firing erupted
and bombs we're exploded in

Machineguns, mortar fire.
dynamite bombs and small
arms fire could be heard as
the rebels and security forces
exchanged fire.
The fighting broke a long
day Of unusual calm in Beirut.
The rebels had called a truce
during the visit here Of u. N.
Secretary General Dag Ham
marskjold, here to try to bring
peace to the troubled little Mid
east nation. The shooting broke
out shortly after he left BY
plane for New York.
Even as firing broke out,
Rebel Leader Salam said in an
interview that the rebels would
resist any increase in U. N.
forces in Lebanon. He said he
spoke for all rebel leaders.
Salam said that even II the
number of U. N. personnel be
as little as 500 and unarmed.
the rebels would consider this
as q change in U. N. policy.
Pictures Aggression
"If the number Of United
Nations forces should be in
creased we viii consider this an
international Intervention and
aggression, and we win resent
II as we would resent any ag-
gression," Salam said.
Salam was commenting on q
statement by Premier Sami

U. N. force ito seal of COM
pletely Lebanon's frontiers"
with the Syrian province Of
President NaSser's United Arab
Republic. The request was
