Burmese Top Knots Y.

LOUISVILLE, Ky.,R Morton Gluckmann couldn't understand how anyone in the Burmese Air Force could wear anything as small as a size 512 cap.
 So Gluckmann, military sales director for Louisville cap firm, went to the Burmese Embassy in Washington to see if a mistake had been made in an order for several hundred caps. The en- bassy didn't know.
 Gluckmann finally got his an- sWer from Burmese officer studying at the nearby Fort Knox armor center.
 Captain Aye Maung of Rangoon explained:
 "The little caps are for the la dies Of the air free. They wear their hair in top knots and the smaller size cap just fits over the hair on the top of the head - it isn't supposed to encircle the head"

BOAC Wins CAB. Approval of Tokyo Flights

WASHlNGION,l lR - The C1Vll Aeronautics Board ruled yesterday that Tokyo properly is on Great Britain's Transpacific air route as identified in that governments air agreement with the United States.
 The board said in it's ruling, how ever, that it is not now passing on the question whether Tokyo should be included in any permit issued to British Overseas Air ways Corp. under the terms of the agreement
 "That issue is now before the examiner and has not yet reached the board," the CAB said.
 BOAC had advertised it would start operations between San Francisco and Hong Kong by way of Tokyo April 1. Opposition by Northwest Airlines prevented the start of service, however.
 Yesterdays action consisted of a denial of Northwest's motion to sever the issue of service to Tokyo from the non-controversial issue of a permit to BOAC to op- crate Transpacific route not serving Tokyo.

EDlToR'S NOTE: Fiction often approaches
so close to life it's difficult to say where
fabrication begins and fact leaves off.
In 1908, in the Marquesas Islands of the
South Seas, French painter Paul Cauguin
died. In 1919 appeared novel, ''The Moon
And Sixpence, by British author Somerset
Vaughan, about painter named Charles
Strickland who, like Cauguin, abandoned a
comfortable job in the financial world to live
out his life, painting, in self-exile in Tahiti.
Inevitably comparisons have been made =
most recently in ''Olivier Plays Cauguin,

of a television play with Laurence Olivier.
based on 'FThe Moon And Sixpence."
Our article brought denial from a sur
prising source - Mrs. Emile Cauguin, of
Englewood, Fla. Cauguin's daughter-in.law
wrote us to contradict the idea that the real
Cauguin and the 6ctional Strickland were
alike. Her defense of her father-in-law con-
tributes fresh understanding of one of the
worlds most gifted and original artists.

Clark Visit
Disrupts Holiday

Owners of Dottie's Lunch, a
combination luncheonette and
service station located about
four miles south of Smyrna at
Twin Willows, report their bus
mess was totally disrupted dur
ing the July Fourth holiday by
an impromptu visit by famous
television personality Dick Clark.
According to the proprietors of
the Dupont Parkway business,
Clark entered the luncheonette
unnoticed, purchased soft
drink and bag of potato chips,
and was busily engaged in con-
suming the contents of his near
empty bag before group of
teenagers recognized the popu-
lar TV disc jockey. Clark was
enroute to Baltimore, Md. for a
scheduled appearance, and ap-
parently missed the turn which
would have taken him to the
Bay Bridge. He paused momen-
tarily for photos and signed
autographs before departing on
his Maryland jaunt.

Weekend Collision
Injuries Two Men;
Fnremen Remove
Gas From Hiway

Two men were injured in a
weekend two-car collision at the
intersection of Route 300 and
DUPONT Parkway which caused
an estimated $3.50 damage to
the vehicles. Volunteers of the
Citizens Hose Company were
summoned to the scene to wash
gasoline off the highway follow
ing the mishap. Manuel Alvara-
do, Clayton, driving south, was
in the left lane with blinker
lights on, making a left turn to
go in to the Smyrna Diner. Mrs.
Alvarado was with him. A car
driven by Dorse Francis, Marsh
allville, KY, a civilian worker
at Dover Air Force Base struck
the rear of Alvarado's car and
drove it across the northbound
lane of the highway on to the
property of the Smyrna Diner.
Fuel tank was filled and gasoline
flooded the highway. The volun-
teers of the Citizens Hose Com
pany responded and washed the
gas off the highway. Arnold Nor
man, 80, S. Governors Ave-, Do
yer, owner of the car, suffered
lacerations of the head and arm.
Francis had decorations of the
head, and both required ten or
IL stitches. They were taken to
Kent General Hospital in the
Smyrna police car. Damage to
Alvarado's car, a 1859 Dodge,
was estimated at $1,000, and
damage to the other car, a 1852
Ford, estimated at $3.50. The
Alvarados were not injured. AT
ter investigation by Smyrna po-
lice, a hearing was held at Al
derman's Court. Francis was
charged with not using due care
and caution and fined $40 and
costs.

An almost completely new

next year. This was the word
released today by Charles v.
Williams, faculty athletic direc-

three of the schools major
sports programs will utilize
new or improved facilities in
the l959-60 seasons. Heading
the list of ultra-modern units
is the recently completed 750-
seat field house dedicated at
May Day ceremonies. This stall
wart structure, desperately need
ed because of increased enroll
ment, was pressed into immedi-
ate use at the conclusion of
construction. An electronically
operated folding partition makes
possible separate physical edu-
cation facilities for boys and
girls. Simultaneous scheduling
for both groups could not be
achieved under the old system.
The partition is removed to re-
veal a regulation basketball
court for interscholastic con-
tests. The hardwood floor is al
SO marked for tennis, volleyball,
and badminton. Folding bleach
ers make additional room avail
able should the need arise. Sep
arate locker rooms with mod
ern shower facilities complete
the luxurious building equipped
with incadescent and florescent
lighting, a permanent public ad-
dress system, exhaust fan ap-
paratus, and ticket booth. All
