Grafton. Who talks that you
don't have to pay?"
Someone suggested q parrot
and Ford. who was young,
brave, and fresh from Mem
phis, Tenn. bit.
In a day when radio dee
jays required a gimmick to
survive. the parrot turned out
to be a smash. There was but
one drawback; the parrot was
on loan and as the idea
meshed. the rental suddenly
rose.
Ford found himself touring
pet shops and auditioning
parrots.
He struck gold In q shop In
Newark, N. j., in a parrot, I'M
named, who had half-mas-
tered a recording popular al
the time called open the
Door. Richard" (The disc
was based on the famous act
created by the late Clinton
Dusty" Fletcher.)
II named him Richard, p
Ford says, "even though we
weren't quite sure. A very
closely guarded secret was the
fact that he may have been q
female"
Whatever his sex, Richards
comedy instincts were first
rate. Ford took him with him
on his out-of-town shows, to
New York. Philadelphia and
Boston, in all kinds Of weather
Il thought he was indestruc-
tible."
Richards biggest network
break" was on the Perry
Como show where, perversely
enough. he refused to talk.
Richard had important fans,
nonetheless. The late Fred Allen
was one. Mitch Miller, who
owns a couple Of parrots, was
another.
Age and the changing fash
ions Of the business dictated
Richards retirement, although
sentimentalist Ford brought
him back briefly on wTTG-5
when he was hosting an after
noon movie series. The parrot
had been living out his last
years at Blackie's House OF
Beef, where he was the delight
Of the visiting patrons, partic-
ularly children.
Late the last week, the TO
year-old Richard didn't get I'D
I'VE thought it might be a
heart attack and rushed him to
the vet, but it wasn't. The
autopsy revealed 1t was simply
old age-although some par
rots have been known to live
much longer" Ford said.
A lot Of Richards friends
will miss him.
It's q small item in the scale
Of things. perhaps, but Rich
ards passing strikes q minor
but rueful chord, here.
What's with radio now? In

day. a 26-year-old disc jockey

Boeing Says
 Politics Involved In Plane Contract

SEATTLE R - A Senate com mittee staff member is looking into rumors politics was involved in the TEX fighter-bomber con- tract award to the General Dy- namics Corp, the Seattle Times said Tuesday.
 General Dynamics was chosen over the Boeing Go. for the rich military plum, expected to event ually to be worth S6 billion. The new supersonic all-purpose plane will be built for the Air Force and Navy
 Reports that politics played role in the selection of General Dynamics have been carried by several national news magazines.
 The Times said it was told by Sen. John Mcclellan, D-Arkl, chairman of the Senate's perma- nent subcommittee on investiga- tions:
 This matter has been called to the attention of the Investigating committee, and I have directed a staff member to make tentative, or preliminary, check and report back to me on the completion of his survey"
 Mcclellan, who was reached at his office in Little Rock, Ark, was quoted further as saying he ex- peeted the report before Congress convenes Jan. 9 and the commit tee would then decide whether a full investigation was justified.
 Boeing confirmed here that a Senate investigator has been in touch with the aerospace firms Washington office in connection with the TEX award, but declined further comment.
 General Dynamics plans to build the TEX at it's Forth Worth, Tex, plant where the B-58 bomber pro- gram has been phased out.

 Unable to reach unified posi- ton in two days of wrangling, the Guard chiefs of all states but Alaska finally agreed to refer the matter to the Governors Confer ence.
 Maj Gen. James CantWell, Adjutant General of New Jersey and president of the group, told reporters the Guard Generals were sending a letter to Gov. Ernest Vandiver of Georgia, chairman of the Governors Conference Com- mittee on Guard matters.

DEMOCRACY IN SANTO DOMINGO

IN SANTO DOMINGO
SANTO DOMINGO seems to be righting itself, and
seeking to follow along the democratic path. In this hemis-
phere where "Castroism" and communism are seeming to
take a foothold, any step taken by any OF the nations to move
in the direction of democracy is good news indeed.
D~ICTATORSHIPS have plagued the Latn-American
countries for a long, long time. The system under which these
countries exist often MAKE relationships almost necessary, or
at least acceptable. Vast areas of land are owned by a limited
few, with the majority OF the people, peasants, often never
to rise from their poverty-stricken positions. They exc out
a meager existence, while the landed gentry work to perpet-
uare the system. These are the very conditions which breed
discomfort and turmoil, and boil over INTO bloody revolution
PRESIDENT KENNEDYS alliance for progress is max
ing some inroadS, but the great bulk OF the work remains to
be done. The Latin American nations are supposed to map
their own programs, and indicate their desire to change from
within, and then the United States will come to their aid.
IN RAPID SUCCESSION a member Of TruIllos cabi-
net had taken hold, and then a change, and then another
change, with the United States reacting to each change. Now
at the helm is 57-year-old Dr.. Rafael BonneIy, a lawyer and
professor, who had earlier been arrested. He is the popular
choice of the people, and with his assumption Of the presi.
dency, the United States moved to recognize the new govern
ment.
CONTINUED violence and disruption of normal life in
that country would make it ripe for all sorts OF programs to
impose their will. Now a measure of calm has been restored,
and one more Latin American country has chosen the demo
cratic process. 1t improves the image of the United States, and
renders further opportunity to encourage others to choose
their own governments and run their own affairs.

Larger Packages May Come Soon Via Parcel Post

Bigger parcels may be coming into the Kodiak post office as a re- suit of the bill to adjust postal rates and provide pay increases to Federal employees, as the Senate this past week accepted an amend ment restoring to Alaska the bene- fits enjoyed as a territory relating to maximum size and weight of fourth-class parcels mailed at or for delivery at first-class post of fees.
 Under these provisions, parcels could be as large as 100 inches in length and girth combined and could weigh as much as TO pounds, up from the present limit of 72 inches and 20 pounds.

Certainly no other community is going to force it down our throats if it appears that we are indifferent.
 To conclude Week No. of the Month of October, 1862, suppose you heard about the Alaskan who was arrested for bigamy.
 He had wife in Nome, another in Fairbanks and still another in Juneau.

 Nick Rauch of the White Alice project was perturbed and rightly so when malicious damage in the amount of $500 or more was done, apparently by youngsters on his boat in the Small Boat Harbor this past weekend.
 The damage was of the nature 1t would make anybody angry. The canvas top was slit, a microphone from the radio torn out and thrown away and dry fire extinguisher powder scattered over the cabin. Nor is this the first instance 10 be reported. It could be that it may be necessary to assign an officer to keep unauthorized persons or someone to patrol the area all night.
 Karl, who keeps the water front covered, informs us that Il knew she was an OptOmetrists daughter when she had two drinks and made a spectacle of herself.
 The capital issue gets in full swing this week with the Juneau ties calling their faction Alas kans United" and the Anchor agites Capital Information Com mittee,' all of which is somewhat misleading as to their intentions. Meanwhile the Chamber of Com. merce here which approved change in a resolution last year, apparently is standing pat. But there are many others who will disagree and maintain it is a waste of the taxpayers money.
 AS for Kapsules, we're still hold ing out for Kodiak, and if a com promise has to be made we'll take Karluk or Ouzinkie.

seat covers. Fittingly enough.

compacts and standard sizes
are currently available.
The new automotive slip
covers offer car owners smooth,
easily adjusted, readily laun-
dered upholstery protection
which are soil and stain re-
sistant to a large degree.
Sports car enthusiasts and
compact car owners have been
the first to demand the stretch
covers since standard automo-
tive covers have not been as
readily available or suitable for
the sporty small cars.
Citroen, one of the first users
of the stretch covers, now
wants to use it on side door
panels.

Is the small car safer or more
dangerous than other cars?
There's been considerable ar
gument about this question
and few clear answers.
Now details of a specific
study show that small cars are
neither more nor less hazard
GUS than other cars.
The report by the Illinois
Division of Highways is based
on a study of accidents within
the State during 1850.
Small cars are defined as
those that have a shipping
weight of $500 pounds or less
Study Accidents
"The fatal accident expert
ence over all showed that the
small cars were neither more
nor less hazardous to drive
than other cars as they were
involved in 81 per cent of IA
tai accidents (85 out of 1,483)
while comprising So per cent
Of the vehicle registration" the
division reported.
In studying the circumstances
