' ||PRESIDENT SENDS Edna By-Passes N. C. Outer Banks In Trek North CAPE HATTERAS, N.C. (#—The scattered residents of North Caro- line’s Outer Banks breathed easi- er today after a near-miss by fu- rious Hurricane dna. The raging center of the sea- son’s fifth tropical storm swept past this oft-battered promontory before midnight, about 60 miles out to sea and headed north-northeast- ward. Winds estimated at up to 70 miles an hour — a little more than half the speed of those in the mid- die of the hurricane — roared ovér | the upper North Carolina Soast.| Huge waves broke across inland| highways, delaying traffic in| places. There were no reports of | loss of life or serious property damage. The area had been well warned. Weekend travelers were cautioned to stay away from the beaches. Red Cross disaster workers stood by. Marine officials at Camp Le- Jeune and the Cherry Point Air| Station quartered some post resi- dents in school and theater build-| ings for the night. Many ‘Marine planes were flown to bases farther | inland in anticipation of destruc- tive winds that never came. | The South Carolina coast, alerted | earlier, escaped damage. Edna: was about 250 miles out to sea when she passed Charleston. Knowland Fears Formosa Fall FRESNO, Calif. (® — Senate Majority Leader William F. Know- land declared yesterday that the} loss of the Chinese Nationalist is- land of Quemoy, “would have the same effect on the morale of the! free world as the fall of Dien Bien Phu did-in the Indochina War.” The Californta Republican advo- cated the use of the U.S. 7th Fleet | to defend the island which was re- | cently shelled by Chinese Reds’ shore batteries. _ Knowland said the loss of the is- land would be only a stepping | stone for Red aggression against | Seldom Dull SALINA, Kan.

(M—Fif- ty beautiful girls today entered the last round of competition to pick the fairest of them all Miss Amer- ica of 1955. While the judges went into a| huddle to total up the points gained by the lovely contestants in pre- liminary battles, the girls aimed for that final mixture of beauty and talent which would gain the| coveted title for ome of them and gain her over $50,000 in awards Seven attractive gals are leading the field at this point, victors in bathing suit and talent contests. But other points in evening gown| competition, not yet announced, | may place other girls in the select | circle of 10 semifinalists tonight. The judges, faced with the diffi-| cult choice of narrowing the field, will leave only five finalists and then late tonight one of them will be chosen as Miss America, suc- ceeding Evelyn Ay of Ephrata, Pa. The annual pageant, which has been beset by ill weather since it opened in a rainstorm last Tues- day night, was slated to go on even if hurricane Edna damaged the shore. Convention Hall, in which the selections are made, is situated away from the ocean front. The seven gorgeous specimens of femininity who have won pre- liminary contests on three succes- sive nights are as follows: Talent division: Barbara Maxine Quinlan, 20, of Alliance, Ohio, who won last night with a selection from “Carmen.” Janice Hutton Somers, 19, Miss Michigan. Heather -Jo Taferner, 20, Miss New York. Linda Maud Weisbrod, 21, Dis- trict of Columbia. Bathing suit division: Polly Ran- kin Suber, 19, Whitmire, S. C., who won last night for her shapely figure adorned in a black swim suit. Ann Gloria Daniel, 21, Miss Florida. Lee Ann Meriwether, 19, Miss California. A crowd of about 3,000, less than half the usual audience— | turned out last night to watch the { parade of pulchr‘tude pass along the stage. Rain pelting down on the boardwalk, hurricane Edna, held down the mumber of spectators. WEDDING PLANNED LOS ANGELES (# — The daugh- ter of bandleader.

Re- member back in the early days of radio when many of the shows were on the air every weekday night? It’s starting all over again. On Monday Amos ‘n’ Andy re- turn to doing a 15-minute show five nights a week over CBS. It’s the same format they started with 26 years ago: Only this time the show comes from the grand ball- room of the Mystic Knights of the | Sea Lodge, and the boys will have guest stars and play. records. Sounds good. I personally liked their 15-minute shows better than the half-hour production. Among the other nighttime shows that can be heard five times a week are Fibber McGee and Molly, Mr. Keen. the Tennessee Ernie Show, Mr. and Mrs. North, | The Great Gildersleeve and One| Man’s Family...
