WINTER U

Oh for a hint of spring
Just to hear one little bird
sing;
After a long winter as we
have had
I think that l am going mad.
Just to get out once in a while
Would sure change my living
style;
There are so many things I'd
like to do
Here l sit all showed in and
blue.
I'd like to go to a picture show
And see something besides the
snow;
I'd gladly take an inch Of rain
It wouldn't cause me so much
pain.
But I have to take it, as it
will come;
And not say anything,
just keep mum.

ON THE JOB

Prompt action By Montana high
way patrolmen and the Great
Falls Red Gross blood center were
instrumental in helping to save
two lives at Fort Harrison VA
Hospital In Helena. The hospital
needed, in a hurry, for one of Its
seriously i'll patients, more blood
than it had on hand. BY the time
the 8 units Of blood were delivered
by relays of highway patrolmen,
blood of the same group was need
ed for a second patient about to
undergo emergency surgery. The
one delivery proved to be enough
to help two patients live.

The defense fought hard for

youths accused in the May 2
rape of a Negro coed.
The State, in turn, did not

The Federal Government
yesterday made a so per cent
profit on land 1t bought for a
new Washington airport at
Burke, Va, but which it never
used.
With the drone of an auc-
tioneer's chant, 266 acres Of
the 1,045-acre Fairfax County
tract were sold for an average
Of $1,150 an acre. The tract
was bought 8 years ago for an
average of SITS an acre.
The 81 parcels of land sold
yesterday at public auction
brought an Unexpectedly high
total of 1907 900. 1t was bought
mostly by landowners in the
Burke area.
Some of the lush farming
land, however, was purchased
by real estate men, who pre-
sumably will hold onto it until
they can subdivide 1t for sale
by lots.
One land broker, who de-
clined to be identified, said the
remarkably high prices paid at
the Government sale, will SCI

In his final charge to the
jury which took "a minutes,
Circuit Judge w. May Walker

the fate Of the defendants in

be found guilty of rape as

rape of a Negro.

The land was acquired BY

The airport site later was
shifted northwest to Chantilly

In particular, they hope that

Again and again they stress
the point that these proposals
are open to modification.
Mr.. Gromyko, they say, would
be willing to listen carefully to
any specific Western objections
as to the details of his plan.
There was never any intention
of presenting the conference
with an ultimatum. All that
Mr.. Gromyko was trying to do
was provide a useful basis Tor
continuing the negotiations.

In pushing this line, the
Russians are bucking a very

vember established him as Mr..
Nixon's only serious rival for
the 1860 Republican presden-
tial nomination.
Many Of Mr.. Nixon's sup

reported to the Vice Presidents
staff the favorable impression
made by Gov. Rockefeller. All
the same time. they renewed
their urgings for some posi-

Not Expected to Accede
The Vice President. however

these requests in the months

pressed his feelings in a recent
letter to a supporter which can
be summed up in these words
He can best serve his own
interest and the interest OF the
Republican Party by carrying
his duties as Vice President to
the best of his ability.
Behind this are two consid-
erations-one involving the ma
tional interest and the other
a matter Of tactics.
The Vice President is repre-
