Triplets Born
To Missionaries
(Special to the NuggeD
ITHACA, N. Y., Feb. 8—Trip
lets were born Friday, Jan. 25. in
Memorial Hospital to Mr. and
Mrs. Fred Klerekoper of 114 Sum
mit Ave.
So far as hospital officials can
learn, they are the first ever born
here.
The babies, three little girls,
came into the world within 13
minutes. Caroline, weighing 6
pounds, 10 ounces, was born at
9:31 p.m.; Emily, 5 pounds, 13
ounces, at 9:37 p.m., and Anna, 4
pounds, 3 ounces, at 9:44 p.m.
The parents, Presbyterian mis
sionaries, have another child,
Martha Jane, two and a half years,
who was born in Fairbanks, Alas
ka.
Mr. Klerekoper reported that
“the mother is very well.” As for
himself he felt “superscrump
tious,” when questioned by a re
porter.
The Klerekopers arrived here
last summer from Alaska, where
they spent 11 years as mission
aries, including 9 years at Point
Barrow, on the northermost tip.
Their trip to Ithaca was made by
plane, bus, boat, and train.
Mr. Klerekoper is studying at
the College of Agriculture at Cor
nell University. The family plans
to go to Iran as missionaries next
summer.
Mrs. Klerekoper is the former
Miss Anna Miller Bruen,' the
daughter of missionaries, and was
born in Korea. The family home
is in Belvedere, N. J.
Truman Slicks To
Pauley As Number
Two Navv Boss
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8— (SP) —
President Truman’s determination
to stick to his choice of Edwin
Pauley as Number Two boss of the
Navy spurred Congressional spec
ulation that Secretary Ickes will
soon quit.
A number of legislators wonder
ed, privately, whether Ickes’ posi
tion might become untenable as a
result of Truman’s action of seem
ingly siding with Pauley against
his secretary of the interior, in the
year’s hottest political dispute.
Ickes brushed aside reporters’
queries on the point with a terse
“I haven’t anything to say.”
At a news conference the Presi
dent said that Pauley was honest
and he had utmost confidence in
him. Ickes told Congressional com
mittee that Pauley suggested
three hundred thousand dollars in
Democratic campaign contribu
tions could be raised by oil men
if they could be assured the gov
ernment wouldn’t try to win title
to offshore oil lands now claimed
by the States.
