President Interrupted 38
Times During Speech to Congress
WASHINGTON <*> — President
Kennedy was interrupted 38 times
by applause during his 53-minute
State of the Union address yester
day.
The most sustained came when
he reiterated American intentions
to preserve freedom of Berlin.
Kennedy did not stick strictly
to his prepared text, but most of
the changes were minor.
His.closing sentence, not in his
text, was:
“May God watch over the
United States of America.”
THE WALL COSTS MORE . . .
KANSAS CITY, Kan. Ifl—Helen
Martin mixed the concrete as her
husband, Tom, laid the founda
tion blocks for a two-room addi
tion to their home.
The next day, Mrs. Martin
missed her diamond engagement
and wedding rings valued at $350.
Then, she remembered.
The last time she saw the bands
was on an unfinished block where
she had put them While helping
her husband.
Asked if he intended tearing
into the foundation in search of
the rings, Martin said: “The wall
cost more than the rings.*'
In pre-Red China, a wealthy
man classified the weather by
the number of silk coate he had
to wear. A hot day was a one
coat day, chilly day a three-coat
day. (During a cold wave he might
have to face a seven-coat or
even a nine-coat day.

Three Elephants are Due
PORTLAND, Ore. — The
secret is out: Three elephants at
the Portland Zoo are pregnant.
This is a momentous event in
zoological circles. Available rec
ords indicate that only six ele
phants have been born in this
country previously, all between
1880 and 1919.
The expectant mothers will con
tribute to medical science. It
seems that no one knows the
length of the elephants’ gestation
period. It has been variously esti
mated at 21 to 24 months.
Morgan Berry of Seattle, owner
of one of the pregnant elephants,
explains: “No accurate records
have been kept in the jungles
and there has been no chance to
keep records in zoos.”
Dr. Matthew Maberry, the zoo
veterinarian, says the first of the
elephants to deliver will be 10
year-old Belle. He predicts she
will give birth sometime after
next week. If Dr. Maberry is
right, this will establish the ges
tation period at 18 months.
Also expecting are Rosy, age 12,
and Tuy Hao, who is 8 years old.
Rosy’s baby is expected in July
and Tuy Hao’s around September.
If Tuy Hao delivers, says zoo
director Jack Marks, she’ll be the
youngest elephant to give birth
in captivity.
Father of the impending brood
is 14-year-old Thonglaw.
