Women Folk Rebel At j
Honors Given Quad Pa
MURFREESBORO, Ark. (/P) —
There’s a minor revolt stirring in
this southwest Arkansas area. The
quadruplets born to Mr. and Mrs.
Leonard Ponder near here Mon
day night are the reason.
Warnings cropped up when the
proud 41-year-old Ponder accep
ted an invitation to appear on a
«
New York television show Friday
night.
The women folks of Murfrees
boro and nearby Nashville, Ark.,
got roiled up at that. They think
the mother of the quads, a 38
year-old farm wife, ought to share
some of the limelight.
And a delegation of Murfrees
boro women already has started
a campaign to honor Mrs. Ponder.
The father, an unemployed
farmer, spent Wednesday spruc
ing up for his trip to the east.
He received a new outfit from
Murfreesboro merchants. He was
to get a manicure but news photo
graphers intervened. They carted
him to his 4-room house where Jie,
his wife, the quads and seven of
their eight other children — all
born separately—will live.
The quads, three boys and a :
girl, are reported in good shape. j

EMPLOYERS WITH FEW
WORKERS MAY BE FREED
FROM WAGE CONTROLS
WASHINGTON, (IP)— Employ
ers with only three or four work
ers may soon be freed from wage
controls.
Chairman Nathan Feinsinger
said Wednesday the Wage Stabili
zation Board will soon grant the
exemption but has not set the
number of employes an employer
may have to be included.
Exempting small employers
would cause little additional in
flation, he said, but would free
many businessmen from the con
trols.

Alaska Statehood Now,
Says Senator O’Mahoney
WASHINGTON, (TP) _ Alaska
should be granted statehood now
because of the grave international
situation, Senator O’Mahoney (D
Wyo), chairman of the Interior
and Insular Affairs Committee,
said Wednesday.
He will stress the position of
Alaska in world politics when the
issue comes up for a vote shortly,
he said. He has been the leader
in the legislative battle for Alaska
statehood in the Senate in recent
years.
“This fight, in my opinion, is
one of the most important we can
ever make to prove to the world
that we are sincere in our support
of local self-government,” he com
mented.
Statehood will also make Alas
ka’s position against Russia more
powerful, he added.
Japanese Fed Up With
American ‘Soap Opera’ On
Democratic Way of Life
TOKYO. (/P)—In a most un
precedented criticism of an occu
pation agency, Tokyo’s largest
newspaper said Thursday: Japan
ese are fed up with an American
ordered radio “soap opera” on
the democratic way of life.
The program is “Eriko To To
mani,” which means “The Daily
Life of Miss Eriko.” It relates her
experiences in remodeling her life
along democratic lines.
The newspaper Yomiuri said
the program has become unpopu
lar even with its actors. The con
servative daily intimated Japan
ese resent being' lectured in de
mocracy because they felt they
understood it now.
