Death Takes
 Whitaker Chambers

WESTMINSTER, Md. R - Whitaker Chambers, central fig ure in the famous Communist spy case involving Alger Hiss, died Sunday at his farm home here and has been cremated, a funeral director reported Tuesday.
 John Meyers, the funeral direc- tor, called the Associated Press on instruction of Chambers son "after the cremation"
 Myers said the fact that Cham bers died and was cremated was all the information wanted made known. "They're very secretive," Myers said.
 Chambers had been living on farm in this central Maryland country since 1948. It was on the farm where Chambers produced for congressional spy hunters in 1948 his pumpkin papers" They were microfilms of secret docu- mentS that Chambers said were given him by Communist agents.
 Chambers was the key prosecu- tion witness against Hiss, a for mer high ranking official in the State Department, at two trials. Hiss was convicted at the second trial Of perjury and sentenced to five-year term in the Lewis burg, Pa, federal penitentiary.
 Hiss has since been released.

Anchorage Attorney
 In Serious Condition Due to Auto Mishap

BILLINGS, Mont. R - Ralph Cottis, Anchorage attorney, was reported in serious condition in a Billings hospital Tuesday from a brain injury suffered in a car accident near Miles City Satur- day.
 Mrs. Cottis, who came here from Anchorage, said her husband was still in a coma.
 The attorney was injured when he was thrown from his car after it left the road and went off an embankment.
 Cottis lay unconscious near the wreckage for about an hour be- fore he was found by two uni identified airmen who saw the cars tracks leading off the high way.

Joseph Newkirk Grounded On High-Flying Charges

LOS ANGELES R - They've grounded high-flying Jose h Newkirk, who brandished a knife after an airline stewardess re- ieved him of his whisky flask.
 He was sentenced to 90 days in the county jail Monday for drunkenness and disturbing the peace.
 Newkirk, 60, a janitor, was taken off Chicago to Los An geles jetliner Saturday an d booked on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon.
 But the assault count didn't stick. The district attorneys of- flee refused to issue a complaint, explaining that its jurisdiction does not extend into the skies at least not beyond the California border.
 City police based their misde- meanor counts on Newkirk's con- dition as he left the plane.
 Newkirk, of Argo, H., said all he could remember was that he was drunk when he boarded the plane.

Red China and
 North Korea Sign Assistance Treaty

TOKYO R-Communist China and North Korea Tuesday signed a mutual assistance treaty pledg- ing full military support to each other if either nation is attacked.
 Premiers Chou En-Lai of Com munist China and Kim n-Sung of North Korea signed the pact in Peiping, the Communist China News Agency reported.
 It is similar to a treaty of mutual assistance and friendship signed just last week with the Soviet Union by the travelling North Korean premier.
 The Soviet pact pledges to come to North Korea's aid if it is attacked. Since Korea borders on Red China, this was considered in the West as a Soviet challenge to Peiping's influence in the Communist sphere of Asia and other instances of a rift between Moscow and Peiping.
 At banquet for Kim in Peip- ing Monday night, however, President Liu Shao-Chi congratu- lated Kim on the Soviet treaty and said it strengthens the Com muniSt bloc as a whole.
 Kim, who headed North Korea S army as well as it's government when Peiping sent it's so-called volunteers to his aid in the Korean War, warmly praised Communist China.

Airmen Will No Longer Stand Lifeguard Duty At Officers Pools

WASHINGTON R - Airmen no longer will stand duty as life guards at officers swimming pools. Nor will they manicure golf courses.
 Rep. Frank KoWalski, O. Conn0, complained recently to Secretary of the Air Force Eu- gene M. Zuckert that 20 enlisted men at Forbes Air Force Base in Kansas had been relieved of regular duties and assigned to lifeguard duty at an officers pool.
 Also, the congressman said, each squadron at the base was required to supply a man each day for the objectionable mili- tary tasks of cutting and raking up the grass on the golf course"
 "There certainly is no excuse for wasting taxpayers money to provide lifeguards at an officers pool" KoWalski said.
 Zuckert agreed. He wrote Ko- walski that except in rare in stances airmen will not be de- tailed to work in recreational activities. He said he had so ad- vised all Air Force base com manders.

IVA Sues Westinghouse Electric for $2O Million

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. R - The Tennessee Valley Authority Tuesday sued Westinghouse Elec- tric Corp. for $20 million, claim ing the giant electric firm sup piled defective, low efficiency steam generators for three IVA steam plants.
 In suit filed in U. s. District Court, IVA claimed the genera tors were installed at the Shaw nee Steam Plant, near Paducah, Ky; the Kingston, Tenn, Steam Plant and the Gallatin, Tenn, Steam Plant.
 "The many defects in the ma chinery and the consequent serv- ice outages, together with the operational and load limitations placed upon the machines by the defendants, have resulted in ex- cessive fuel costs, loss of revenue from power sales, extensive re- pairs and additional expense to plaintive IVA in obtaining re- placement power"

 These are listed below. Study them. Remember them. You might save your own life that way!
 The 7 danger signals
 of cancer 1. Unusual bleeding or dis
 charge.

But in this period the COM

the cliche of modern think

the most dispensable man in

The man seemed to feel
that modern mpanies
