FORMER YUGOSLAV
VICE PRESIDENT ARRESTED
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia UP) —
Milovan Djilas, former vice presi
dent of Yugoslavia and critic of
die Communist system he helped
build, was arrested Saturday.
A spokesman for the Ministry of
Information said Djilas had been
taken into custody but did not give
die reason for his arrest.
The 51-year-old Djilas was first
arrested in 1957 for his book “The
New Class” expounding on the
shortcomings of Communism. He
was released in 1961 after serving
four years in prison.
Djilas, once a close associate of
Marshal Tito and mentioned as his
possible successor, refused to re
cant his theory that Communism
on overthrowing the old order, in
evitably develops a new class of
exploiters.
He had a new book dealing with
his discussions with the late So
viet Dictator Stalin scheduled to
be published in the United States
within a few weeks. Two weeks
ago, Yugoslavia approved a new
law making it a crime to write on
subjects that might harm Yugo
slavia.
■ A statement from Harcourt Brace
In New York Saturday said that
publication of Djilas’ “conversa
tions with Stalin” had been post
poned indefinitely.
Djilas stood by Tito when Stalin
attempted to destroy the Tito re
gime in 1948, but he later became
an outspoken advocate for more
democracy in Yugoslav politics.

CO-QUEENS REIGN OVER
CHERRY BLOSSOM FESTIVAL
WASHINGTON M — Two pretty
girls have learned, as any gambler
knows, that the wheel of fortune
has some strange habits.
This time it turned up two win
ners, so Miss Rhode Island and
Miss Colorado reigned jointly Sat
urday as Queen of Washington’s
50th Annual Cherry Blossom Festi
val.
Japanese Ambassador Koichiro
Asakai gave the big wheel of States
a healthy spin Friday night to
pick a winner. Round and round it
went, and it finally stopped at the
notch labeled Colorado.
Kathleen Knous, 19, stepped for
ward to be wrapped in the queen’s
robe and don a $100,000 pearl
crown. The pink, pearl-embroidered
robe was already around her
shoulders when, it seemed, lady
luck got other ideas.
A quick click and it was in the
Rhode Island notch. “This wheel
does funny things, ladies and
gentlemen,” said John Logan chair
man of the Festival Ball. Francis
Elizabeth Pastore of Rhode Island
was called forward to don the
queenly regalia.
Miss Knous was near tears.
Miss Pastore, 18-year-old daugh
ter of Sen. John Pastore, (D-R.L),
was amazed. “I just can’t believe
it,” she said. Soon she, too was
near tears.
“We realized this Colorado child
was going to be terribly hurt,”
Logan said afterward. So the Festi
val Queen Committee, headed by
Logan and Perle Mesta, huddled
to seek a way out. They talked
about it for nearly an hour.
... Vice President Lyndon Johnson,
along with many others among the
1,200 at the ball, was for co
queens. He called out the sugges
tion in the confusion that followed
the wheel switch.
Miss Pastore was all for co
querns, too.
And co-queens it is, for the firs
time in festival history.
“They’ll each be presented wit!
dresses,” said Logan. “We’ll sene
both to Japan, and both will weai
the crowns and robes.”

Kenendy Opens 1962 Baseball
Season with a Fancy Curve
WASHINGTON UP) — President
John F. Kennedy opened the 1962
baseball season today with what
looked like a fancy curve.
Kennedy got off a throw that at
least a half a dozen other players
let go through their hands before
Marty Kutyna* Washington pitch
er, got the ball on the first base
line simply by reaching down and
picking it up.
The season - opener, against the
Detroit Tigers, was the first game
for the Washington Senators in the
new $24 million stadium, and Ken
nedy pulled an innovation too. In
stead of coming down the aisle, he
came in through the Senators’ dug
out and took his seat behind it.
Normally a President makes two
throws, but Kennedy, possibly be
cause he’s still nursing an ailing
back, made only one today. Kutyna
followed custom and brought the
ball to the President for an auto
graph.
The Senators won 4-1.
The Omie McCarthy Circle of the
Community Methodist Church will
meet Tuesday evening at 8:00 at
the home of Mrs. Boyd Harwood.
Husbands of the members are in
vited to attend. John Osborne will
show interesting Alaskan pictures.
JUSTICE DOUGLAS SAYS
RED CHINA WILL HAVE
NUCLEAR BOMBS BY 1972
STEVENS POINT, Wis. UP) —
Justice Wm. O. Douglas of the
U.S. Supreme Court said Friday
night Red China will have nuclear
bombs by 1972, it must be admit
ted to the United Nations and it
will conduct a tremendous struggle
with India during the next five
years for supremacy in Asia.
Douglas told a banquet of the
Assn, of Wisconsin State College
Faculties that the Unites States
must adjust to the struggle with
Red China and develop “rule oi
law for the world” to prevent war
» “We cannot do this by keeping
out of the UJN. countries we don'1
i like,” he said. “Disarmament with
out (Red China) is really foolish—
they have one-fourth of the people
in the world.”
Douglas said the American press
is just.now becoming aware oi
the split between Russia and Red
China in 1957.
He predicted that Communisl
China will be the third greatesl
world power by 1967 but has
drawn away from Russia because
the Soviets are “becoming more
different and departing from the
Stalinist position mat vmiha holds
to.”
He called the United States a
“satellite of Chiang Kai-Shek, whe
represents a vast corruption,” bul
said “we cannot deliver Formosa tc
the Communists.”

GEN, LEMNITZER STOPS
OVER AT ANCHORAGE
ANCHORAGE
man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
Gen. Lyman L. Lemnitzer, was
honored with a 19-gun salute on
his arrival here from the Far East
Friday.
Lemnitzer’s Air Force DC6B
touched down at nearby Elmendorf
AFB and was greeted by a joint
color guard of all Alaskan Com
mand military components and
welcomed personally by the top
officer in Alaska, Lt. Gen. George
W. Mundy.
Lemnitzer left the nation's capi
tal March 18 on an inspection trip
that has taken him to Hawaii,
Manilla, Corregidor, Bangkok, For
mosa, South Viet Nam, South
Korea and Japan.
He told newsmen at a brief
planeside news conference that his
trip has been highly interesting
and informative. He said he was
especially encouraged by what he
saw in South Vietnam.
“They are beginning to go on
the offensive there against the
Communist guerrillas,” Lemnitzer
declared. He added, however, the
situation in the war-torn nation
will not be quickly solved.
The general said his encourage
ment about the South Vietnam
crisis stems from the fact the U.S.
has increased its assistance in the
form of advice, equipment and
training.

PORTS DEPT.'S SLANG
NEW YORK <JP! — No more com
Laints please about the jargon we
se over here in the Sports De
partment. We’ve gone respectable,
r at least as respectable as Web
er’s third new international dic
onary can make us.
For years we’ve been accused of
ewildering little league mothers
nd newspaper managing editors
nth a language all our own. But
lose tortured words and phrases
ave made the new dictionary in
irce.
Four-bagger? It’s right there: “A
ome run.” Haymaker? “A power
il blow with a fist often restulting
1 a knockout.” Red dog? “To rush
le passer in football.” Lay-up? “A
imping one-hand shot in basket
all made off the backboard from
lose under the basket.”
There’s “pigskin,” and “horse
ide,” and even “bum,” both tennis
nd ski.
There’s southpaw. “A left-handed
aseball pitcher.” Also, “a boxer
/ho leads with the right hand and
lot forward, while guarding with
le left hand.”
Foot in the bucket: “Batting with
le foot nearest the pitcher drawn
ack from the plate.”
Steal: “T o gain a base by run
ini without the aid of a hit or
n error.”
Also “gridder” and “eager” but,
lercifully, not “thinclad.” They
ad to draw the line somewhere.
However, the man who wrote the
lictionary definition for “curve”
ither never saw Tommy Bridges
r Johnny Sain at their best, or
idn’t believe it.
He defines it this way: “A base
pall pitch in which the ball swerves
>r appears to swerve from its nor
rtal course of flight because of a
pin put on it in delivery.”
The “screwball” man apparent
y saw Carl Hubbeli work. Here’s
lis definition: “A baseball pitch
laving reverse spin and a break
» the opposite direction to a
mrve.”
Even the spitball is legal in the
lictionary. “A baseball pitch de
ivered after the ball has been
noistened with saliva or sweat.”
“When you get to the end of
/our rope, tie a knot and hang
