lex on Henry Cheevers.

hex on Henry Cheevers.
We were up in my room last
Thursday night during the rain
storm trying to think up enter
tainment, after our frog-gigging
expedition had been interrupted
by the rain. Thurmond suggested
a game of pool and l thought it
would be better to put a hex on
Henry Cheevers.
/ won out after explaining to
Thurmond that if people would
turn around and look at you if
you concentrated on the back of
their necks, anything was pos
sible mentally. We figured that
our combined brainpower con-
centrating intensely at the same
time would surely be enough to
give Henry an ache in his right
foot, or at least a twitch.
Neither of US could decide
whether the experiment would
have more effect by concentrat-
ing together for several hours
at a stretch (Thurmond couldn't
concentrate on a nude Marilyn
Monroe calendar for that longD
or by breaking our concentration
period up into say, five minutes
every hour.
We decided to use the five
minutes approach. Five minutes
before hour, Thurmond and l
both concentrate on giving a
pain to Henry Cheever's right
foot. We have both adhered re-
ligiously to the scheme, since
Thursday. We don't say any
thing; we just think about Hen
ry's right foot.
l stopped Henry on the street
yesterday without giving away
our scheme. l asked Henry with
a sly grin whether he was hav-
ing any trouble with his right
foot. "Not bit," Henry said.
Henry said that "my earache is
giving me a fit though" Well
it's better than finding him in
perfect health. Maybe we just
don't have our technique down
pat yet. Pm going to speak to
Thurmond about this tomorrow.

aged (I'm sure the owner has
an explanation for this) to get
our new press before the roof
arrived. The walled enclosure in
which it sits was turned into an
aquarium within minutes after
the deluge began.
We were first warned of the
watery graveyard which adjoins
the building when Vernon Le-
wark, our after school helper,
who was about to go under for
the second time, yelled an an
guished "Help!" before being
carried into the pit underneath
the press by an undertow. Larry
English, our quick thinking
linotype operator tore off his
shirt and did an awe inspiring
swan dive from the sidewalk;
within minutes he had pulled
Vernon to dry land again and a
smattering of applause erupted
from a group of spectators.
Encouraged by Larry's hero
ism, We all pitched in to help
bail the water out of our build
ing before the press was ruined.
David Gates, another linotype
operator was unable to help as
he was suffering from a severe
case of sunburn. He idled the
afternoon away trolling for fish
in washtub about 20 feet south
east of the mems washroom.
David only managed to snare
three undersize croakers and he
threw them back in an outstand-
ing gesture of craftsmanship.

Il strongly recommend, he said
that the state make known i'm
mediately its intention to acquire
this land which contains valuable
beach front which should be re-
served for use of the citizens of
Delaware now that it is no longer
needed by the government"
The Army said that 400 acres
of the reservation would be re-
tanned as sufficient for the train

residual air defense missions In
cluded in this portion are the 8
acres recently set aside for the
Navy Department
Maintenance costs for the in
active post at Fit Miles would be
reduced 100000 annually by the
disposal of this land. The 20
civilians now employed by the
government would be dropped al
though efforts will be made to
transfer them to other military
installations.
The State should have the
preference over any f e e r |
agency in acquiring this land and
should make known its position at
once, Mcdowell said

development Of new Africa,
these cultural and economic
links are q valuable asset to

In a sense, Mr.. Houphouet-
Boigny was born to rule. He is
the son of a tribal chief, who
proSpered on coffee along the
coast. In 1910 the 35-year-old
son himself became chief of
the district. and his political
role has been expanding ever
since.
He took the special medical
course offered Africans at Da-
kar University, and in 1925
graduated as an African doc
tor" For the next Is years he
pursued medicine with the
French Public Health Service
in his native West Africa.
By 1914 Mr.. Houphouet-
Boigny organized the African
Farmers Union, which soon
forced the French to stop their
traditional colonial practice Of
pressing small native farmers
into forced labor.
It was only a small step from

colonies were granted auton-

1858, Mr.. Houphouet- -Boigny
persuaded all his neighbors ex-
cept Marxist-minded Guinea to
throw in their lots with France.
In 1859 he became first premier
of the newly autonomous Re-
public Of the Ivory Coast.
This French-speaking COM
munity centered In Paris did
not survive. Early in 1860
leaders Of the Mali Federation
in West Africa convinced
French President Charles de
Gaulle that the only way to
save French prestige in Africa
was to allow complete national
independence within the COM
.munity. The French President
acted against the wishes Of Mr..
Houphouet- -Boigny who was his
StauncheSt supporter IN Africa.
After Mali independence, Mr..
Houphouet- -Boigny resigned his
Paris posts, returned home,
demanded immediate indepen-
dence for the Ivory Coast and,
refused to negotiate any new
status in the French commu-
nifty until after independence.
The strategy lost African
nationalist critics their chief
weapon against the French
puppet." In the presidential
elections Mr.. Houphouet-,
Boigny received 98 per cent of
the vote. He took office in
August, 1860, his party in pos

mittee he had calculated from
Calumet & Hecla's own figures
that the firm made extra
profits" of $5,560,401 by selling
copper on the open market be-
tween 1854 and 1856, rather
than delivering it to the Gov
ernment stockpiles under the
terms of its original contract.
After June, 1857, when COM
mercial copper prices dropped
below the 31-cents-a-pound
figure set in the new contract,
Mr.. Brooks said the company
made an additional $108,50l by
buying copper on the open
market and selling it to the
Government.
He said the contract revision
approved by Mr.. Floete cost
the Government $669, 9,626-the
difference between what it
actually paid and what it
would have paid if deliveries
had been made on time under
the original agreement.
The subcommittee did not
obtain an estimate on what the
Government may have lost
through the cancellation of the
profit-Sharing agreements.
