Bearded Student
And Pet Alligator
Ham Up the Act

GAINESVILLE, Fla, Jan. II
(AP) What started out to be
. routine Job developed into q
money-making vaudeville act
for an enterprising bearded
engineering student at the
University Of Florida.
Harold T. johnson, %, told
campus police the other day
he merely intended to clean
out a pen containing Albert.
the University's huge, ancient
pet alligator.
But the sight Of q husky
young man outfitted in beard,
hat, rubberized pants, sweat
shirt and canvas shoes soon
attracted . crowd Of about 100
persons.
Spurred BY lustg cheers and
a shower pf change. Mr..
Johnson:
Rolled Albert over and put
him to sleep by rubbing his
belly. Is
Lifted the alligator's tail and
bent II over his back.
Showed his foot-then his
head--into Albert,s mouth.
Snatched . loose tooth from
the alligator's mouth and auc-
toned it to the crowd for 50.
why did YOU do it?" Asked
campus police.
For money" Mr.. johnson
answered simply.
The police gave the Fort
Lauderdale student a stern
lecture before releasing him.

Senator Stennis, Democrat

Senator Stennis was ap-

BRITAIN SEES
MOVE EXPECTED

LONDON. Jan. IA (AP).-
Britain officially considers it
q natural step for the United
States to bar It's citizens from
holding gold or gold securities
in deposits abroad. q spokesman
of the British Treasury said
tonight.
1--WE regard 1t as a very con-
sistent and natural act to take
in the present circumstances, "
the spokesman said. "Ayneri-
cans are already prohibited
from holding gold or gold Sc
curities inside the United
States and this is now ex-
tended to prohibit them from
holding gold or gold securities
abroad.
This Is a consistent step
since virtually all countries
which prohibit their citizens
from holding gold internally
also prohibit them from hold
ing gold abroad"
He said neither the Treas
ury nor the Bank Of England
had any way Of knowing how
much gold was held on Ameri-
can account in Britain. but he
quoted American sources as
saying the amount was not
considered significantly large.

publicans are trying hard tc
gain q promise Of Bipartisan
nominations from Mr.. Ken
nedy.
Faced with added RESPONSE
bilities for selection of key Dis
trict officials, Mr., Kenney and
his colleagues have mapped out
q tentative method Of oper-
ating.
They do not contemplate for
NAL votes of Endorsement Of
nominees by the full commit

Instead, Democrats intend to

cussions so far have distilled

mmissioner-have followed
But harmony is unlikely tc
persist when Federal judge
ships are at stake.
In this area, Mr.. Kenney said
the Democratic Committee
hoped to consult early and
thoroughly with Justice De-
partment officials about quail
fications Of candidates and
needs Of the courts. Any judi-
cial recommendation will be
carefully co-ordinated with the
desires not only Of the Justice
Department, but for the local
bar associations. and any other
interested community group,

sile gap was criticized q year
ago, Mr.. Eisenhower pointed
to these bombers as evidence
that overall American strength
made up for the Soviet missile
lead. =
Both gaps" Of course were
merely national intelligence
estimates Of future Soviet &C.
tions. The bomber prediction
was wrong. as have been pre-
dictions Of Soviet submarine,
tank and troop levels. Other
intelligence predictions have
been right, however.
The new administration will
have to make its own evalua-
ton Of missile gap evidence
and then defend its position
before questioning Congress
men in the next few weeks.
CIA Director Allen Dulles will
have an opportunity to do this
when he makes his scheduled
appearance before the House

FUTURE CARDINALS RECEIVED

expected to help ease the gold
problem In these ways:
To the extent that dollars no
longer are sent overseas to pay
for gold. the payments deficit
will be reduced.
An end to American pur-
chases In the London gold mar
ket win reduce the amount Of
gold which the Bank Of Eng
land sells in that market In
order to hold the price at the
current level Of Just under $50
an ounce. This will lessen the
American gold drain because
the United States Treasury Is
the source Of most Of the gold
used by the Bank Of England
for this purpose.
As Americans are forced to
sell gold In London between
now and June !, the additional
supply on the market viii tend
to depress prices. The Bank Of
England thus win not have to
sell as much gold to maintain
the price.
The new regulations prohibit
Americans from making for
eign purchases Of gold bullion
or from buying securities which
represent gold deposited in for
eign vaults.
The regulations also take
into account the possible es-
tablishment of corporations
which might be set up solely
for the purpose Of buying gold
as q speculation. Americans
will not be permitted to own
securities in any corporation
which holds q substantial part
| of its assets in gold or gold
securities.
Wilfull violation Of Mr.. Els
enhower's new order could re.

with o maximum penalty Of lC

ficials noted reports OF In
tcreased gold speculation by
Americans In recent weeks.
Most gold buying by Ameri-
cans isdone in the bullion mar
kets Of Toronto and London.
Those who have bought gold
abroad generally have been
speculating on q possible de.
valuation Of the dollar. The
dollar would be devalued II the
United States raised its official
price Of gold-$35 an ounce.
Gold SPECTATORS then could
cash in.
Although President Eisen-
hover and President-elect John
r. Kennedy have promised to
maintain the $35 price, talk Of
possible devaluation has in
creased in the past six months
because Of the steady drop in
the gold supply.
Since the start Of 1850, for
eigners have bought about 90
billion Of United States gold
and the supply is down to Q 2l-
year-low Of SITS billion. In.
asmuch as about $12 billion
Of American geld is earmarked
as backing for our paper money,
the margin available to fill
foreign orders has been shrink
ing markedly.
The narrowing margin has
prompted some to question
whether the supply might not
run out and force drastic ac-
ton by the Cnited States.
Foreigners have been able to
buy large amounts Of United
States gold because Of the big
deficits lin the United States
balance Of international pay
ments. The 1850 deficit was
about $3.5 billion.
Payments deficits have given
foreigners dollar. credits which,
