Dove Heads South
Lands In Alaska
SEATTLE, (A1) — A confused
dove, a ‘Wrong Way Corrigan” of
his species that flew north to
Alaska when he should have
headed south for California, cur
rently is resting at Woodland Park
zoo in Seattle after his wild ad
venture.
Seems the dove showed up si
multaneously with a one-foot fall
of snow on September 30 at the
home of Mr, and Mrs. Paul
Waugh. They live at Clear, on the
Alaska Railroad, no winter resort
for doves.
Pan American Airways agents
at Fairbanks offered to give the
dove a complimentary ride on a
southbound Clipper.
On the dove’s arrival in Seattle,
fish and wildlife authorities be
came interested. They said doves
never have been found farther
north than the southernmost tip
of the Territory. The dove, they
believed, was carried miles out of
his way by a storm. The Fair
banks, Alaska, game commission
also is studying the unusual flight.
Meanwhile, should rigors of the
long wrong journey prove fatal,
the dove will find his final resting
place in the University of Wash
ington museum.

Finds “Under-Sitter”
For Baby On Plane
NEWARK, N. J..I/P)—An air
lines clerk at Newark airport who
must have thought he was still in
the army came up with a regula
tion that a mother of twins must
find an “under-sitter” for the ex
tra youngster if she wanted to
take them to Omaha.
The obliging mother bought two
adult tickets, the extra one for
the “under-sitter”—an adult over

DeGaulle’s Party
Leads In Election
PARIS, (jP)—Candidates nomin
ated by Gen. Charles De Gaulle’s
six-months-old rally of the French i
people <RPF> were leading in 27!
out of 37 major municipalities to- j
day as returns from yesterday’s:
balloting rolled in from all over
France.
De Gaulle’s party held a sub- j
stantial lead over all other parties
including the Communists in the
early returns.
‘‘There is no. doubt about it,”
De Gaulle has won,” said Maurice
Schuman, parliamentary leader of
the Pouplar Republican Move
ment which lost ground heavily in
yesterday’s voting. De Gaulle’s
RPF, although leading the Com
munists, did not appear to have
dented Communist voting strength
in any substantial amount.
Running on an anti-Communist
platform, and competing in a
French election for the first time,
RPF was averaging between 38
and 40 per cent of the total vote,
as against 26 to 28 per cent for j
the Communists, 19 per cent for
the Socialists and less than 10 per
cent for MRP.
