Under the Constitution, Johns would have to send his ‘si orders to the Senate for ratifica- tion or rejection. Whether Collins would go ahead with his hearings with the suspensions before the Senate is problematical. Johns holds the powers and du- ties of the governor's office ‘be- eause of his position as Senate president. A special session this month would find him in the dual role of state senator and acting governor. He probably would open the Senate session as president, then turn the gavel over to the president pro tem and leave the floor. If a special session is called, the lawmakers who were elected Nov, 2 would serve. : Human ears-can hear sounds pro- duced by vibrations from about 20 to 20,000 per second, : Not One — Not Two— But All Three!

Make It A Sweet Christmas with Whitman’s or Ni unnally’s Candy Britain Urges Red China To Use Caution LONDON (®— Britain disclosed today she has urged Red China to avoid “precipitate” action in the Formosan Strait that might lead to war with the United States. A Foreign Office spokesman said the policy of moderation was urged on the Peiping regime in consulta- tions With Communist China’s charge d’affaires in London, Huan Hsiung. The man said Britain has also asked the United States to use its influence in forestalling any provocative action by the Chinese Nationalists of Chiang Kai-shek. Spokesman Explains The spokesman — replying to} questions regarding the new secur- ity pact between the United States and the Formosa regime—said the advice was given to both the Unit- ed States and Red China in keep- ing with “her majesty’s govern- ment’s policy towards the islands ff the Chinese coast, which has n to urge on all concerned the dangers of fighting, the importance of lowering tension and of avoid- ing precipitate action.” Britain maintains diplomatic re- latons with Communist China. Asked .about Brtain’s attitude toward ‘the future status of, For- mosa, ‘the spokesman , recalled Prime Minister Churchill's state- ment of July 14 that: “T certainly do not see anything in the conduct of China which has yet happened which should lead the American government to de- liver Formosa to Communist Chi- na.” The spokesman said “There has been no change in our policy since that date.” Dancer Wears Black Ribbon For Admirer By JACK STEVENSON LOS. ANGELES @® — The bur- lesque show at the New Follies went on as scheduled last Red-haired toe dancer Loretta Miller wore a black-ribbon ip“her hair as she appeared. That was the last request of Roger Wing. Whit- tier, 26, a~Korean. War: veteran from Gold Beach, Ore. ‘ Whittier had fulfilled his. final pledge—to get her lots of publicity. He was killed at the theater by two bullets, one from his own gun, the other from police, who returned fire, they said, after he first shot once at them. The man died on stage at dawn elutching photos of Miss Miller, Written on one showing her in bal- let costume were the words: “‘An- gel Face: All I can do is worship you. Goodbye. Roger.” The shapely Miss Miller, 25, said she had never met the man but} |had received two letters and bou- | | quets of roses from him. - | The strange drama began short- | jly after 5 a.m. yesterday when a} man telephoned The Associated | | Press. | | “I broke into the New Follies | burlesque a couple hours ago,” he | told me. “I’m in love with a dancer | there, Loretta Miller. | “I want to get her publicity. 1 want to. get her picture in every Paper in he country. | “Call the police and come over | here. But you be carefui, I'm armed.” I called the detective bureau. | Two detectives and two officers | entered the theater with a portable floodlight, A man onstage wes | caught in its glare. Police said he fired twice with a .32 automatic. The first was at the light and the second struck him in the head, The officers re- turned fire. The stage floor bore printed tes- | timonials of his infatuation: “Dear | |Loretta, just to hold you in my} | Miss Miller previously had re- | ported to police that she received | lore letters signed, “Roger.” One | | “My plan is to go backstage just as the last show ends. With my | automatic in my hand I shall | attempt to fight my way to you... | At most I want to hold you in my arms,..[ mean you no harm and wouldn’t hurt you for the world.” He never carried out that plan. The second note to the danctr said in part, “If you happen to pead or hear of @ guy named Roger coming to a violent end, please pin a little piece of black to your costume.” Miss Miller did that and com- | Memphis The Weatherman Says: Key West’ and Vicinity: Partly continued mild today and Friday.
