Humble Oil Bringing 2 'COpterS To Seward

SEATTLE, R - An unusual type of cargo dropped down at the East Waterway Terminal Friday to be shipped to Seward.
 The cargo came in under it's own power with a blast of air that cleaned rain puddles off the pier in hurry and sent spec tators scurrying for cover.
 The cargo consisted of two he1i- copters. They are big ones, Ncap- able of carrying 12 passengers each.
 The helicopters, owned by the Humble Oil Refining Co.,, were flown to Seattle from Grande Isle, La, important center for Gulf of Mexico oil-industry ac- tivity, by Norman Stone and Alan McKechnie.
 The helicopters are to be shipped from Seattle to Seward, aboard a Coastwise Line barge.

Killer Asks For Forgiveness At Last Instant

POINT OF THE MOUNTAIN, Utah, R m Barton Kay Kirkham, who scorned religion and family, asked God to forgive him Sat urday an instant before he died in the hangman's moose.
 His last words were the first of remorse he had uttered pub licly since he was condemned to die for the murder of grocery clerk David Frame, 50.
 But otherwise, the 21-year-old Kirkham lived to the end the hard-case reputation he strived so carefully to build during two years of Imprisonment.
 i've asked God to forgive me-" Kirkham told sheriff George Beckstead through the black hood that shrouded his head and shoulders. Then as Beckstead stepped back, a lever was pulled and Kirkham plunged six feet through a trap door of the IT. foot pine board gallOW.
 Kirkham declined to ask for religious comfort during his final hurs. He scoffed at suggestions that he should be remorseful for the staying of Frame and Mrs. Ruth Webster, 3S, during hold up Aug. II, 1856. Kirkham saw movie with his parents, ate pizza and ice cream and bade them farewell just before mid night. Then with an audience of prison guards, chaplains and oc- casional news men, he spent the night jovially playing classical piano music and cracking maca- bre jokes about his impending execution.

Elisian Reinstated By U. s. Auto Club

INDIANAPOLIS, tR " Ed Eli. sian. Oakland, Calif., driver who was accused of causing the 15- car pileup in the first lap of the 500-mile race May 30 was back in good standing Saturday because the United States Auto Club di- rectors admitted they couldn't prove an error of judgment.
 The 200-pound curly-haired Elisian, only driver who ever turned in a 48-mile-an-hour lap at the Indianapolis Motor Speed way, was suspended by Duane Carter, USAC Director of Com petition.

 As to the pileup that resulted in the death of driver Pat O'Con- nor and injury of two other drivers, the board Said it felt ii could not prove any error o1 judgment.

Robinson and Patterson Offered One Million
 Dollars For Title Match

NEW YORK, R - A million dollars is a lot of money, and Floyd, Patterson is just a man, so Sugar Ray Robinson is more than willing to listen to million dol lar offer to meet Patterson for the heavyweight boxing title.
 The offer came Friday from Sy Weintraub, a television man who recently purchased the Sol Lesser Productions. Weintraub would stage the night in the Los Angeles Coliseum sometime in September.
 In a telegram to Robinson, Weintraub said he had made the same offer to Patterson. Neither the heavyweight champion nor his manager, Gus D'Amato, was available for comment.
 Boxing is my business and it looks like business is good,'' said Sugar Ray. He added he'll fly to Los Angeles Sunday to talk with Weintraub.

up under the strain and strife that
existed at the once all-white high
school, when they were admitted,
DIR. Matthew J. Whitehead, chAir-
man of the Achievement Week
Committee, which made the selec
ton, lauded Mrs. Bates and con-
graduated the children for the
fortitude, bravery and courage that
they displayed in the time of so
great crisis. The Conclave cheered
loud and long when the award was
made.
In accepting the award, Mrs.
Bates displayed the same calm,
serenity and humbleness, along
with the exuding Christian attitude,
that she has shown throughout the
ordeal. She thanked the fraternity
for its consideration and felt that
the giving of the award for render
ing that type OF service would
serve to inspire others to take up
the torch and hold it high in the
fight for full citizenship.
Attorney Oliver w. Hill, Rich

ried the brunt of the fight for equal
opportunity for all the citizens of
Virginia, was given the "Omega

of the injustices which have been
perpetrated upon Negroes in the

challenged by Hill and his asso-

abolish the poll-tax, as prerequi-

Work Scheduled On
Bolivian Pipeline

Construction is expected to start
in March on 215-mile crude pipe
line from the interior of Bolivia
to the Chilean port of africa, CIV
ing Bolivia its first outlet to the
sea for its increasing crude pro-
duction.
The line will be built by Will
liams Brothers Sudamericana Linn
tied under a contract signed with
Yacimientos Petroliferos Fiscales
Bolivianos, the Bolivian govern
ment's oil corporation.
Construction of the line is ex-
pectAd to speed development of
Bolivian fields, since export Of
crude has been blocked by lack
Of transportation, except for small
amounts going across the border
into Argentina.
The line is the fourth phase of
a pipeline network being built by
Williams Brothers in Bolivia. Last
year Williams Brothers completed
23O-mile, six-inch products line
to La Paz, the Bolivian capital,
from the YPFB refinery at Coch-
ALBANIA.
The new section, to be started
upon delivery of the pipe, prob
ably in March, will consist of I'll
miles of 10-inch and A miles of
8-inch pipe joining the existing line
at Sicasica and carrying crude to
africa.
The contract also calls for con-
struction of loading facilities at
africa, including a 100000 barrel
tank farm.
The line is designed for $500
psi operation, with an initial ca
pacity of 5000 barrels per day,
with an inherent capacity of &C.,
600 barrels with the addition of
two intermediate pump stations.
Target complexion GATE Is No
vember l, 1858.
When completed the line will
cross the Andes at a point 1881
feet above sea level, and at one
point will drop 1920 feet in 43.5
miles.
On the steep drops to the coast,
restraining anchors will be in
stalled, and the line will be buried
to depth greater than normal in
order to provide additional sta
bility.
Because Of the high altitude, con-
struction of the line will require
special facilities for both men and
equipment. In building the Coch-
abama-LaPaz line, Williams Broth
ers found that first aid equipment
must include oxygen tanks to be
used in reviving men who faint
from cverexertion in the thin air.
