lowa Town Is Prepared To Honor Hoover “WEST BRANCH, Iowa, (#—This little town where former President Herbert Hoover was born wore an air of tense expectancy today as it put the finishing touches on prepar- ations for his 80th birthday cele- bration, : The former president will arrive here tomorrow for the biggest birthday party Iowa has ever seen. Both West Branch and the state of Iowa will heap honors on a distinguished son who rose in the best American tradition from hum- ble beginnings here to gfe nation’s highest office. The formal program will be held in the 28-acre state park which now surrounds the tiny white cot- tage where Hoover was born, sec- ond son of Jesse Clark Hoover and Hulda Minthorn Hoover, in 1874. There'll be a parade and speeches. by Gov. William S. Beardsley; Dr. Virgil M. Hancher, president of the University of Iowa; and Viee President Richard M. Nixon, who. will fly out from Washington to représent President Eisenhower. The state’s birthday presents will ineludé an honorary degree of doc- tor of laws from the university and a book of cartoons, “As Ding Saw Hoover,” published by Iowa State * College in collaboration with news- paper cartoonist J. N. (Ding) Darling. But for Hoover, the highlight of the day may well be his visit to his birthplace. The humble cottage, restored, now looks much as it did when the Hoover family lived there. It has white eurtains of a pattern and material similar to the ones Hoover’s mother used. The rag rug on the floor is of the same pattern as one his grandmother made. The high chair Hoover used as a baby sits beside the dining table and in the bedroom is a bureau his uncle made. The cupboard — an- other family pigge ~ holds a deep glass dish with a maple leaf pat- tern which was owned by Hoover’s mother. Also on display are some black- smith tools, found when the house was restored, which might well have belonged to his father. A boyhood friend of the former president, Fred Albin, 81, of West Branch, recalls that young Hoover's meals sometimes were “slimmer than the devil for awhile” after his father died when Herbert was 4. But there'll be nothing about the old fashioned pienic dinner to be served at noon tomorrow for Hoover -and his guests to recall those days of hardship. Mrs, Albertus Swails, one of 40 women who will cook and serve the, dinper, geid the menu will include: Fried chicken, corn, potato salad, tomatoes, apple sauce, pickles, bread and butter, eoffee and milk, ice cream and cake. Patricia Likes e 2 Opera Singing By MARSHALL COMERER DALLAS (#—Singing opera “is | like playing football all afternoon and having to do eli the running with the ball,” says Patrice Mun- | sel, slim, glamorous young sopra- no of the Metropolitan Opera. And singing the title rele in an operetta such as ‘‘Naughty Mari-| etta” at the state fair musicals is “fun—like having a party in| my living room.” But the vivacious Miss Munsel is not ready to do a Broadway! musical show ext winter. | “Everything in opera depends on making the music perfect and | beautiful,” she explained to an in-| terviewer. “It makes you do your best. That is why I like singing | opera best of ail. It gives me the feeling of greatest satisfaction. “I am in ove with Marietta. | There is wonderful music to sing. I can be gay, sad and maybe a little wacky. There are beautiful clothes to. wear. Two men chase Marietta and she gets her man. What mere can a girl ask for?” The Dallas show is her first ap- pearance in operetta. “Do a Broadway musical?” Miss Munsel echoed the questioa. Her) mood turned serious. | “I would love to do @ musical) comedy sometime,” she said. “1) thought about doing one this year. They brought me some beautiful music, But I feel I belong in opera. | ‘That is what I want to do. | “There is also the serious ques-| tion whether I should endanger my voice for opera by singing eight performances a week in a Broadway show. Most epera and | concert people sing only two, three or four times a week.” | Lloyd Waner of the Pittsburgh} Pirates made 223 hits in his first) season in the major leagues (1927).

The presentation will be made| by the Sons of the Union Veterans of the Civil War and its auxiliary. Both groups open their national conventions here this morning. Mrs. Helen Newbright of Dayton, Ohio, national patriotic instructor of the auxiliary, will turn the bust over to the city. It will be accepted by Mayor George D. Johnson. Arriving yesterday for the 73rd} annual encampment was Gen. U.S. Grant III, Washington, commander in chief of the Sons of the Union Veterans. Also on hand were Albert €.

HUMANE GROUP (Continues From Page One) donations—including several from children—were received to defray the cost of caring for the horse. Mrs. White indicated that the Humane Society will ask the com- | mission Monday night for stiffer | laws governing the treatment of | animals. | “It is a matter of civic pride as well as correcting the cruelty to animals,” she said. The Humane Society, which re- it cevies only $100 per month from the city and the balance of its | operating eosts from the sale of dag tags, does not have the facilities it needs to perform a first class job. MOTHER TURNS (Continued From Page One) them in anyhow and she called police,” said the officers. Mrs. Brown said she believed her husband is suffering from kleptomania. “He's sick,” she said. “I've known him to steal 10 cents worth of fish hooks with $100 in his pock- ets. He just can’t leave other peo- ple’s things alone. “I've had a hard time making up my mind to turn him in but this | j is the only way to get out of this mess. I only have 20 cents in my Pocket today and my babies don’t have any breakfast, but I’m going |} to give them a decent life. “T’'ve always worked and Vil) make out for myself and the chil- dren some way.

American listening posts picked it up and reported to Washington officials, The broadcast almost sounds as if the Reds. were trying to work up @ spy scare deliberately to put the Russian people on guard against “agents, spies, saboteurs and “murderers” for what the Kremlin calls U.S, imperialism, Officially it’s devoted to two re- cent Russian booklets: designed to inspire comrades everywhere ‘to keep a sharp eye open for foes of the ‘Communist state who may be lurking about in disguise. One of the booklets, Moseow Ra- dio told its Far Eastern listeners, is named “revolutionary vigilance is our powerful weapon.” The other: “To be Vigilant at Any See- tor of Work and Under Any Cir- cumstances.” An unidentified Soviet commen- tator makes po reference in his for-the-home-folks talk about the “peaceful coexistence” theme which the Reds hit hard in their international propaganda. But he dwells some on another Commu- nist cateh phrase, “Capitalist En- circlement.” Qne of the booklets, he reports, says this meaps that so long as non-Communist powers exist in the world there are ene- mies of the Soviet state willing to act against it by any means. The broadcast then warns Soviet citizens that the’ United States is the source of all kinds of “filthy and treachery plots” which appar- ently are to be carried out by a staff of “aetive spies and sabo- teurs” that exceeds 100,000. GABRISON BIGHT (Continued From Page One) their own plans. But little has been done. Veteran boatmen complain that the ten-thousand dollars the city has appropriated annually for the past several years has always been diverted to some gther use. They say that development of the Bight is far behind schedule with the money being spent for the Wickers Field Stadium and street construc- tion. ‘ Pan Slow Progress The boatmen claim that the pre- sent program is ‘‘but a drop in the bucket” and say that the Bight should be made capable of docking 100 boats yachts. They point to the situation in Ma- rathon where yacht basins consti- tue a $200,000 per year business each- year. * Key West, just prior to World War II, they say, often had up- wards of 125 yachts here at one time. But the boatmen say that the construction of the finger piers is only the first step in the project. They point out that the present channel will not accomodte boats with a draft of more than five feet, except at high tide. Last year, they say, more than $5,000 in damage was eaused when large boats tried to enter the channel. The Bight Channel has never been marked properly, they add. Advocates of the Bight improve- ments also include motel and res- taurant men who have learned that their businesses increase with the influx of yaehtsmen.

They followed the trail their pioneering Mormon grandparents | who founded Mesa used in their! journey from Utah in the late 1880s. Almost nothing was changed. f The lads, ranging in age from| 14 to 18 killed rattlesnakes and other animals and lived for days off wild nreat and desert plants.

In its open gray metal casket, Emilie’s body lay yesterday in the living room of the Dionne home halfway along the five-mile road between Callander and Corbeil. An estimated 5,000 persons filed past it. For the first time since public viewing of the five girls was ‘stop- ped 14 years ago, the big iron gates protecting the home were opened to the public. Flor surrounded the casket. 's dress was of crepe, in her favorite light blue, with white trim- ming.

The second prisoner is Edward Peter Quick, 23, engineman second class. The manslaughter tharge against Quick grew out of an almost iden- tical crash as the wreck involving Drake. Quick is charged with driving a ear that overturned June 23 on Cud- jee Key, killing Debreka Martell, | 24-year-old Miami Beach model, As in the case of Drake, the Na- vy refused to release Quick to the sheriff unless the agreement was signed. The receipt Spottswood signed says he will, to the best of his ability, notify the Navy of the re- sults of the trials or if either of the prisoner is delivered to any other officer of the state. The re- ceipt also says the sheriff will do this if no expense to the state or the sheriff is involved.
