A Matter Of Strategy


Additional study developed stra-
tegic placement of special mikes
in certain courtroom areas, The
resultant system, officials say,
permits coverage of any Federal
courtroom with maximum of six
microphoneS and some with only
three.
Current plans foreSee a mike on
the judges bench equipped with
an off-on switch to permit off,
the-record conferences with coun-
sells.
The witness box will have
mike designed to pick up the low
est of whispers, while a third is
planned above the counsel tables
and in position to cover the wan
dering advocates. Courtroom lay
out will determine the placement
Of other microphones.
In experimental trial sessions,
judges gathered in the far corner
of a courtroom and muttered in
low voices attempting to outwit
the electronic recorder. At other
times lawyers Strolled quickly
back and forth or hid behind the
jury box during speeches. In
every case, officials say, the record
reproduced clearly what had been
said.
THE system" says a judiciary
oficial. needs no special COM
pensations on the part of coun-
sells"
The problem of identifying
speakers, officials say. solved it
self. In experimentally recording
trials they found that each par
ticipant, including judge, counsels
and witnesses, was clearly identi-
fled by name during his first re-
marks. And they further found
the recordings to be so clear in
tone that each voice reproduced
distinct characteristics.
Identification Eosy
To put the record to a final
test officials recorded a Philadel-
phia civil trial and asked a Wash
ington stenographer to make a
written transcript from the tape.
Although she was not given the
names Of any participant the
stenographer was able to properly
identify each person who spoke.

JAMES THURBERs FINDINGS
Eve Care: Too Little Known Area

best Of all corneas for such trans
planting Is. naturally, that Of the
stillborn baby, but eye doctors
and other medical men are often
loath to say this, because the un-
happy mothers of stilIborn babies
might be shocked.
or course, no such transplanta-
tion is ever made without the per-
mission Of the parents Of the
stillborn child.
To me. and to many unsenti-
mental people I know, the knowl-
edge that q stillborn child's cornea
might restore the vision of some
great or good person, is . COM
forting thing that lifts the heart.
In most States of the Union.
druggists are no longer allowed to
remove foreign objects from the
human eye. Neither should they be
removed by a member Of the
family.
II you get something in your
eye that is dificult to remove,
you should consult an eye doctor
at once.
Dogs, Cones-ond Research
There are scores Of organiza tions
in America whose purpose 1t is,
and noble one. to make the life
Of blind persons as comfortable
as possible.
Thus we have white canes and
seeing eye dogs and the like, but
the organization with which
have been most closely associated,
the National Council to Combat
Blindness, whose motto is "the
fight for sight," seeks to raise
funds for research to prevent
blindness. to cut down the ap-
palling rate Of annual blindness
in America.
Every eye doctor I know, and
know many, tells me that funds
for research are badly needed in
deed.
1t is not my primary intention
now to raise money, but merely
to point out the great necessity
Of this cause, because money for
the human eye. and its saving.
has been neglected in the inter-
ests of more famous fund-raising
campaigns.
Ultimote Virtue
The newspapers of the world
print so much depressing news
every day that it isn't surprising
so many people lose faith in the
existence of loving kindness,
which w. S. Vaughan has called
the ultimate virtue.
The evil men do gets in the pa
pers, the good is often unmen-
toned. Nothing has fortified my
faith in human nature more than
the fact that. in 1858, when my
wife underwent a successful de-
tachment operation, eight people
in America and two in England
offered to give us one of their
good eyes.
All 10 Of them were complete
strangers to us. Most of them be-
lieved that the entire eyeball
could be successfully transplanted.
and to all Of them I had to write.
along with my deep gratitude, the
simple medical fact that no eye
surgeon in the world would remove
one Of persons two good eyes
for any reason.
This is because there is no med
ical knowledge whatever about the
possible results on one good eye If
the other one was removed.

Fog-Shrouded Mt. Mckinley Still Holds Two Climbers, Rescuers, at 1O,2OO Feet

ANCHORAGE, R - An angry spring sky and layer of dense clouds thousands of feet thick held the key today to the successful completion of this states greatest mountain rescue effort.
 A storm which sent winds up to 100 knots swirling around the continents highest mountain, tow- ering Mt. Mckinley, kept the res- cue machinery at complete standstill. Heavy clouds complete ly obscured the mountain from 2,000 feet up.
 Still Stocked In
 The latest report this morning was that the mountain still was "socked in" up to 18,800 feet, with high winds, rain, sleet and snow. Forecasters said it would be tomorrow at the earliest before a break in the weather could be expected.
 Still to be removed from Mc- Kinley were the Whitaker twins of Seattle, Jim and Lou. Although suffering slight frostbite, they were believed in no danger. Only the weather prevented aircraft from picking them up from their campsite near the 10,200-foot level.
 With the Whittakers were a score or more of seasoned noun tain climbers, hurried onto Me Kinley's icy slopes after the Whit takers and two companions, John Day and Pete Schoening fell 400 feet down an icy slope at the 18,000 foot level last Tuesday night.
 Daring Helicopter Evacuation
 Day, 51, wealthy rancher from Central Point, Ore, was evacu- ated from the 17,200 foot level Friday night by daring helicop- ter pilot, Link Luckett, who took his craft 1,20O feet above what had been considered it's top oper- ating limit.
 The easy smiling Luckett, 32,
The Nome nugget., 1960-05-23

pushed his small chopper beyond its range again Saturday to re- move Schoening, 31, of Seattle.
 Day suffered broken leg, dis located left ankle and frostbite. Schoening had frozen left hand and frostbite. Both men are in good condition, according to at tendants at Elmendorf AFB Hos pital.
 tion brought on by lack of oxy-
 Another amazing aerial rescue, one of numerous acts of individual and group heroism involved in this rescue operation, was made Friday by bush pilot Don Sheldon of Talkeetna.
 Flying light plane, Sheldon, veteran of other air rescues, landed at the 14,000-foot level on Mckinley and whisked to safety Mrs. Helga Bading of Anchorage.
 Mrs. Bading, 30, was a member of an Anchorage climbing party which went to the assistance of Day, Schoening and the Whit ! takers after they fell. She suf- fered mountain sickness, condi- tion brought on by lack of oxy- gen, and for time was in cri- tical condition. She recovered quickly on her return to lower attitudes.
 Loss of Two Lives
 While the massive rescue effort had it's bright, happy side, there was also dark side, filled with sorrow for the wife and two small daughters of William Stevenson, Anchorage, and the family of a military man whose name has not yet been released.
 Stevenson was piloting a small airplane attempting to airdrop supplies to the Day party Friday. The military man was passenger. While circling at 18,000 feet, the plane suddenly dived into the ice and snow Both men died. Their bodies are still on the moun- tain.

Quake-Inspired Waves Run Amok In l.. A. HarbOr

LOS ANGELES, Calif., R = Freak current believed caused by waves from the Chilean earth quakes, surged powerfully through California harbors today, ripping hundreds of pleasure craft from their ,moorings and heavily dam aging dock facilities.
 Hardest hit was Los Angeles Long Beach Harbor, where flood like current swept back and forth through narrow channels lined with yacht anchorages, wreaking havoc. Docks to which clusters of as many as 80 boats were tied, were torn loose and drifted aim- lessly, pumping into other docks and bridges and grinding against channel walls.
 The water level changed abrupt ly every IS or 20 minutes during the day, compared with the nor nal tidal changes of every seven hours.
 San Diego Harbor suffered extensive damage. There was lesser harm as far north as San Francisco. Experts said the wave action might fast several days.
 Los Angeles-Long Beach liar Dor, an intricate complex of terminals, finger piers, Navy fa- cilities and pleasure landings, was a scene of confusion as boats rang ing from 14-foot outboards to luxury yachts went astray.

CRESCENT CITY, Calif., R - A tidal wave swept into Crescent City at 1920 pm. today, pushing water for three blocks into the town.
 Police reported three persons were hurt.
 There was no word of fatal in- juries.
 Crescent City is near the Cali fornia Oregon border.
 Two fishing vessels were swamped and 30 others damaged. Jetties and other harbor installa- tions were damaged.

Advance Warning Saves Many Hawaii
 Islanders from Crushing Tidal Waves

HONOLULU, R - A series of surging tidal waves killed at least IS persons in Hilo today, police said. They reported dozens of others were missing.
 The awesome waves, generated by the earthquakes in Chile, rolled relentlessly across the vast Pacific.
 Mass evacuations because of forewarnings sharply cut the losses in the Hawaiian Islands. All deaths occurred this time in Hilo. Many persons were injured and others reported trapped there.
 One eyewitness said the waves hit with the roar of a freight train"
 The massive waves rolled across the Pacific from their suboceanic birthplace on the Chilean coast, where continuing series of heavy earthquakes and tidal waves caused more than 300 deaths and tremendous damage.
 The waves smashed the island of Hawaii in four mighty surges, with Hilo taking the brunt of it. Hilo is on the northeast coast of the island, easternmost in the Ha- waian chain.
 The biggest wave = topping six feet - hit at 1:05 a.m., sending wall of water into the Hilo Thea ter and plunging the city in dark nes when it shorted out the city's power station.
 Hit Before in ls46
 Hilo, with a population of 25 LOGO, bore the brunt of tidal wave in 1946 when 159 persons were killed and 163 injured.
 Residents and tourists in Hono- lulu's plush Waikiki Beach resort area and other low-lying coastal zones were evacuated to higher ground.
 Civil Defense authorities said the death toll might have been much higher if residents had not been warned to head for higher ground.

Ike nv Report Will Explain Collapse of Summit Talks

WASHINGTON, R - President Eisenhower will go on television and radio Wednesday to report to the American people on collapse of the summit conference.

 The announcement on Eisen- hower's plans came as he con- ferred at the White House with Secretary of State Christian Her ter regarding the TV-r d O report.
 In response to questions, flag erty said he knew of no plans for Eisenhower to address joint session of Congress regarding the Paris debacle.

Weekend Chilean Earthquake Claims 22O Lives Lost

SANTIAGO, Chile, -R - Chile was hit today for the third straight day by earthquakes that, coupled with gigantic tidal waves, are already blamed for an off cial toll of more than 360 persons dead or missing.
 The Seismograph Institute here said shocks occurred throughout the night and early today in south Chile. A strong movement was felt at Valdivia, river port 570 miles south of Santiago
 Damage from the weekend dis asters in central and south Chile ran into millions of dollars. There were unofficial reports of 220 dead from the quakes alone.
 An official report listed 203 known dead, 100 missing and 1,500 injured. Aid was rushed from neighboring Latin American na- tions and from U. s. bases in Panama.
 The quake was Chile's worst since 1889, when more than 10000 persons perished in the same area.
 Offical reports said the tidal wave near Ancud washed away 100 villagers. None of the bodies have been recovered.
 A tidal wave of hot sea water was reported to have hit Lebu, 285 miles south of Santiago, and anna teur radio messages predicted a heavy toll.

GrOmyko Asks U. N. to Brand U. s. As Aggressor

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y., R- The Soviet Union asserted today that spy flights over Soviet ter ritory means playing with fire" It called on the U. N. Security Council for a condemnation of such flights and demanded that the United States prevent their recurrence.
 Soviet Foreign Minister Gro myko told the 11-nation council spy flights, like that of the May 1 U2 plane, "can involve grave con- sequences unless appropriate measures to check such acts are taken forthwith"
 He wound up a grim, sharply worded speech by submitting a resolution branding the U. S.. flights as aggressive acts" and a threat to universal peace, and called for condemnation of the United States.

K. l. Village Shines With New Look

The cleanest part of town is now the King Island Village.
 The village people saw the work beind done by the Jaycees east of the seawall, saw how these men gave their evenings, night after night, so that the beach could be clean. They saw as they walked home, the big improvement in their own part of the city.
 The King Islanders, men, wo- men and children, got together and duplicated the work of the Jaycees, and now the beach in front of the village is just as clean as the area cleaned by the Jay cees. However, these people didn't stop with the beach. They asked for cars to haul off the debris from the village itself, and this has been done. The city responded with some gravel, to fill low, marshy spot within the village, and now King Island is the clean- est area in Nome. .
 What was once the dirtiest part of town is now the neatest. It was no miracle = just hard work -. and an example of what the people in any part of Nome can duplicate.

Bartlett Tells U-A Grads Khrushchev
 Killed Peace Hopes

FAIRBANKS, R - Sen. Bob Bartlett said today Soviet Premier Khrushchev had shattered the hopes of the world for peace.
 "The hard truth is that we now are living in world at war;" the Senator said in an address at the 38th Annual Commencement of the University of Alaska.
 "We have looked forward with a measured degree of optimism to lessening of tensions which have been building up over the years, layer by layer, almost to the breaking point" Bartlett told uni- versity graduates. He added:
 ''Now the leader of the Soviet government has, in response to God-knows what pressures or de- sires, seen fit in loud and angry and unreasonable words to end the summit conference, which he was so instrumental in promoting, even before its real beginning.
 Bartlett said there was "an un- alterable conflict" between this nations beliefs and those the Con- munists live by.
 Democracy, of course," Bart lett added, lis not primarily a system at all but a set of values. The chief of these values is that the individual human being is a creature of infinite worth; govern ment therefore must protect and aid the individual"
 He further commented:
 The beauty of America does not lie in material wealth. It lies in freedom" ----'
 Bartlett and Gerald FitzGerald received honorary doctorate de- grees awarded by the university at the commencement exercises.
 FitzGerald, now a resident of Salt Lake City, retired in 1857 as chief topographic engineer for the Geological Survey.
 He served many years in Alas ka on topographic surveys, begin ming in 1921.
 The University also awarded 88 undergraduate degrees, nine mas ter degrees and two professional degrees. Thirteen of the graduates received army commissions as sec ond lieutenants.
 The commencement exercises climaxed ceremonies at which the school Sunday dedicated its new $3,000,000 Bunnell Memorial Hall. The combination classroom and administrative building is named in honor of the late Dr. Charles E.. Bunnell, first president of the uni versity.
 Gov William A. Egan delivered the dedicatory address at Bunnell Hall. The Very Rev. Arby Le- mieux, president of Seattle uni versity, delivered the Baccalaur- cate Sermon Sunday.
