A NEW "TW IST’ . . .
COVENTRY, England —
Coventry’s city fathers came up
Saturday with a startling new
theory: Lady Godiva wasn’t naked
at all when she made her famous
fide through the town.
She wore clothes, the city coun
cil suggested in a publicity leaflet
for tourists.
The statement aroused some
citizens who are proud of Godiva’s
legendary nudity.
;rNot naked?" asked Coventry
city historian Abe Jephcott. “Rub
bish. I challenge anyone to pro
duce facts disputing the naked ride
by Lady Godiva.”
The row was sparked by plans
for a pageant in connection with
the consecration of the new Coven
try cathedral. A local girl will ap
pear as Lady Godiva and ride
through the streets on horseback
during the three weeks following
the consecration next Friday. She
will wear flesh-colored tights and
a wig with long flowing hair.
Tradition says Godiva. an 11th;
Century beauty, wore nothing but
her long locks. She did it to per
suade her husband Leofric, Earl
of Mercia and Lord of Coventry,
to spare the people of the city
from oppressive taxation.

SAN FRANCISCO UP> — Two
women climbed over the rail of the
Golden Gate Bridge in the pre
dawn Sunday. One leaped to her
death.
Jane Timmerman, 18, Sonoma,
was coaxed back by Highway Pa
trol Sgt. Walter Pudinski, on his
promise that he would take her to
her doctor and not a hospital
psycopathic ward.
About two hours later an older
woman walked onto the bridge
climbed the rail and jumped.
He body was found by the Coast
Guard. There was no identification
in her handbag. She was listed as
the birdge’s 224th known suicide.
$100,000 FOR MR. GRUENING
JUNEAU UP) — Ted Stevens,
GOP candidate for the U.S. Senate,
charged today that New York po
litical interests have pledged
$100,000 to the campaign fund of
U.S. Senator Ernest Gruening, who
is seeking re-election.
In a luncheon address, Stevens,
an Anchorage attorney, said it was
“my understanding that the ADA
(Americans for Democratic Action)
Democrats from New York, who
poured money into Alaska in 1958,
have once again pledged to raise
about $100,000 for Mr. Gruening.”
If you don’t have enough per
sonal troubles to worry about,
here is something you can brood
aver: Scientists believe that grav
ity, the force that holds the world
together, is gradually getting
weaker.

Report Red China
Enforces Back-to -
The-Farm Project
HONG KONG I* — Reports of
an enforced back-to-the-farm pro
gram for Red China’s recently
industrialized millions have pro
vided new insights into the mass
flight of refugees from the Chinese
mainland.
A British businessman who
visited Communist China said vast
unemployment is preading through
most of China’s major cities as
a result of a government retrench
ment plan calling for the resigna
tion of all factory workers em
ployed after 1958 and their return
to their home villages.
He said discontent was wide
spread in many cities. He quoted
a university student in Shanghai
as saying, “our leaders seem not
to know what they are doing. China
has been liberated 12 years and
yet hunger is gripping the land.”
One Western observer in Hong
Kong said the Chinese Commu
nists are making the same mistake
that they made in 1958 with their
big leap forward campaign. First
they tried to achieve too much in
too little time, he said, and in the
present consolidation plan they are
trying to cut down too much in
even lesser time.
The Briton, who declined to be
identified by name, said most of
the factory hands were resisting
return to the farm because of grip
ping hunger there and the long
working hours, usually from dawn
to dusk.
British authorities in Hong
Kong claiming the crown colony
is jammed with refugees and can
not support any more, ordered a
crackdown on residents helping
fugitives to get through the barbed
wire barricade the British are
stringing along the 12-mile border.
- fVmpiMinH for Wnng Tf/wo waL
dents infiltrating the frontier area
or interfering with official efforts
to send the refugees back to Red
China carries fines of up to $880
or two years in jail.
