Humane Society Of
US. Enters SSufe
Az PierSon UFqinq

A move Is shaping up to give
Minnesota a stronger coverage of
volunteer organized effort In the
forming Of q state and national
all powerful new humane society.
Addressing a group Of humane
enthusiasts from the Twin City
area and Washington County at
Midway YMCA Friday, June 10,

anti-cruelty laws and establish

ty, pigeon slaughter and poison
ing, dove destruction, sparrow

ter Of other bears and birds.

Bill Defining Powers Of Eminent Domain
 Introduced at Juneau

JUNEAU, tR - An administra- ton bill to codify laws relating to condemnation proceedings in Alaska was introduced in the Sen- ate Friday.
 The 25-page bill would spell out broad powers of eminent domain for the state or any of it's agencies authorized to take real estate for public use. Boroughs, school districts, public utility dis tricts or other political subdivi- sions also would be given eminent domain rights for public build ings, access and service roads, sewers and other purposes.
 Several sections of the measure concern declarations of taking" procedure whereby condemn ing agency may acquire real pro- perty pending final judicial deter imitation of payment owed the original owner.
 Such action would be limited generally to the state, PUDs and school districts. First class cities would be permitted to use a dec laration of taking for street or highway needs, school sewers, water, telephone, electric or other utility purposes and for slum clearance.

ASTRONOMY NOTES
 By OLAF HALVERSON

Our galaxy, when viewed from outer space, is neither a ring nor a wreath, but is formed of huge spirals which reach far outward into the heavens.
 This galaxy of stars is so great that a beam of light would re- quire 100000 years to cross it. Around a modest, medium size star in the central cluster Whirls a tiny planet called the earth.
 One of the most impressive spectacles in the sky lies on the center of the Sword of Orion. This sword is adorned with three stars, the central one appearing misty, Hike an eye in tears" A large telescope discloses that this is not a star after all but cloudy masses of nebulae which cover the central part of the constella- ton. A photograph uncovers a still further surprise and one sees that the nebulae spread in all di- rections, over and beyond the stars of the constellation.

US. Apologies for Cuban Bombing By Florida Plane

HAVANA, R-A demand that the United States crack down on all anti-Castro activities in Flor ida came Saturday from the semi official newspaper Revolucion.
 The newspaper of Prime Min ister Fidel Castro's revolution ary movement referred to a US. government apology for a raid by a Florida based plane as "a moral victory"
 "It is clear" Revolucion said, "that the question is not resolved in any way with simple presen- tation of apologies while an at tempt is made to drown dissem- ination of news of the crime with postponement of the execution of Chessman or the trip to Latin America by President Eisen- hoWer"
 Revolucion demanded that the United States try persons who or ganize flights against Cuba and prevent any further flights over Cuba.
 Castro has charged that air at tacks on Cuban fields were made by US. based planes and as- serted that these were the main reasons for rifts in US. Cuban relations.
 Washington previously had re- jected Castro's accusations, main taining there was no evidence the raids were conducted by U. s. based planes.
 But the US. State Department confirmed Friday that the plane involved in Thursdays incident had taken off from an airfield near Miami.
 It expressed "sincere regrets that the plane managed to escape the vigilance of our intensified airfield patrols" in Florida.
 The State Department note as- sured Cstro that the US. govern ment "is most anxious to stop such violations of our laws, and will take whatever steps it can to prevent them and apprehend those persons involved"

Chesslnan Death Stay Stirs Storm Of Criticism

SAN FRANCISCO, R = Gov. Edmund Browns 60-day reprieve for Caryl Chessman, popular with opponents of capital punishment, stirred mounting storm of criti- cism Saturday.
 In Sacramento, legislators pro- tested that the governor proposed to dump the problem in their lap by calling a special session in March-concurren with the bud get session-to reconsider abol- ishing the death penalty in the state.
 In Washington, D. C., critics blasted the State Department for notifying the governor of adverse reaction to be expected in Latin America by President Eisenhower if the Chessman execution should take place.
 Government leaders in Uruguay applauded the reprieve. Western Europe generally approved the action but criticized the motive.
 Chessman, convicted in Los An geles in 1948 of robbery and kid naping involving forcing tw 0 women into unnatural sex acts, has evaded death in a dramatic, 1112- year legal fight with which many opponents of capital punishment identify themselves.
 He spent Friday relaxing and conferring with his lawyers.
 Asked how he felt about the governors decision, CheSsman re- piled:
 "I'm feeling I had expected to be dead"
 In a penciled statement, Chess man said:
 q have no doubt it was the most difficult decision he has ever made. I must add I also be- lieve it was a courageous one for it transcends the fate of one en- battled, condemned man. It puts the question of capital punishment squarely before the people for de- bate and resolution. If I have played some small part in bring ing this about, the nightmare ex- perience I have gone through was and is small price to pay, and I pay it gladly"
 In Washington, senators criti- cized the State Departments all legged intervention as impinging on states rights.
 "Very questionable procedure" ]" said chairman William Fulbright D-ArR of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
 Bad precedent, said one Cali fornia Democrat, Sen. Clair Engle. Completely unWarranted, said the other, Republican Thomas H. Kuchel.
