A Dandy Ci if I
. . . and He's Been
Waiting for Years
SAN PEDRO, Calif. UP1 — It
wasn't the kind of gift just any
one would want — a 700-pound
dead whale.
But John Olguin had been wait
ing for one for years.
There was only one problem:
All Olguin wanted was the skele
ton.
Olguin. curator of the Cabrillo
Beach Museum, wanted to hang it
there.
When a female pigmy sperm
whale died at Marineland, a near
by oceanarium, last week. Olguin
got his whale skeleton — plus
about 650 pounds of blubber sur
rounding it.
"Fast I thought I'd boil off the
blubber, like the Eskimos do," said
Olguin.
But an expert at the Los Angeles
County Museum advised against it,
Olguin said. Boiling releases too
much oil. And what could he do
with all tha odoriferous oil?
Cut off the blubber, the museum
expert counselled.
So Olguin and two assistants at
tacked the dead whale with hunt
ing knives.
"We had some help from a
couple of doctors." Olguin added.
“One wanted the heart and the
other the lungs, for studies. But
they only helped until they got
what they wanted."
Aft r three days of carving.
Olguin got down to the skeleton.
He threw the blubber in the ocean
—"for the crabs.”
A little blubber remained. And
the county museum expert advised
Olguin to bury the skeleton in the
ground, and let the bacteria gnaw
away on it.
‘‘Weil dig the skeleton up in a
year." said Olguin. "It should be
clean by then."
Where do you bury the skeleton
of a 700-pound whale?
"On city property,” Olguin said.
"But I’m not saying where. We
don't want anyone to dig it up. I’d |
hate to have to start carving all I
over again.”

Joseph P. Kennedy, the Presi

for a week's visit. The former Am
bassador to Britain, who is re
covering from the effects of a
stroke, went to Washington from
the family home at Hyannis Port.
Mass.
The elder Kennedy probably
will visit New York City a week
from now and then fly to his win
ter home at Palm Beach, Fla.,
White House press secretary Pierre
Salinger said.
Mrs. Katherine Dexter McCor
mick. Boston civic leader and phil
anthropist, has given the State
Department a half-million-dollar
Swiss chateau so that U.S. diplo
mats will have a better meeting
place when they go to Geneva, the
State Department announced in
Washington.
The historic chateau is perhaps
the largest private donation ever
received from an individual by the
department, t h e announcement
.'aid.
Mrs. McCormick, widow of Stan
ley McCormick of Chicago, is a
friend of United Nations Ambas
sador Adlai E. Stevenson. Steven
son had suggested the gift of the
chateau, about 12 miles from Ge
neva. because of difficulties en
countered by U.S. diplomats in
obtaining quarters in Geneva.
Agriculture Dept. Says
Communist China Will
Fun Out of Food bv 1980
WASHINGTON iJP —' Commu- I
nist China will run out of food |
and fiber before 1980 unless it j
checks population growth, the ;
Agriculture Department said Tues- '
day.
Development of a greatly im- I
proved agricultural program and j
restoration of free enterprise would j
lead the way out of this predica
ment. the department said. But so
long as Communists rule China
this development is not foreseen,
the agency added.
The department said in its re
port that hunger, malnutrition and
famine — all brought on by three
consecutive years of crippling
failures in agriculture — have
forced the Chinese Communists to
halt industrial expansion, cut back
farm exports and make emergency
purchases of food grains.

Ike Terms JFK's
Foreign Poliey
As "‘’Dreary"
BOSTON — Former Presi
dent Dwight Eisenhower sharply
criticized President Kennedy Mon
day night for conducting what he
termed “a dreary foreign policy
. . . too sad to talk about.”
Eisenhower responded to Ken
nedy's recent criticisms of Repub
lican foreign policy in the 1950’s
with a slashing attack of his own.
The former Republican Presi
dent treated a partisan throng
gathered for a SlOO-a-plate GOP
dinner to his strongest attack to
date on the Democratic adminis
tration's foreign policy.
The former President displayed
his famous grin and his equally
famous temper.
Eisenhower appeared visibly
angry when told some 5.000 Re
publuican party faithful of recent
criticism of his foreign policy.
"Personally I have been careful
m all my speeches to keep cur
rent foreign policy out of partisan
debate. But when a charge is made
for purely political purposes — a
charge that indeed should be
stated in reverse — I must serious
ly question the advisability of con
tinued silence.”
He quoted Kennedy as saying:
"During eight years of Republi
can administration our foreign
policy drifted aimlessly about.”
Eisenhower called it "a strange
departure from fact” when his
Democratic successor said “that
during the past 21 minths, a new
and firm and foreward looking
foreign policy has been developed."
The crowd roared its approval
when he added: "This was news,
indeed, to all of us who have been
following the news.
Defends Record
The cheers continued as Ei
senhower heatedly defended his ad
ministration’s record.
‘Tn those eight years we lost
no inch of ground to tyranny, we
witnessed no abdication of re
sponsibility. We accepted no com
promise of pledged word or with
drawal of principle. No walls were
built. No threatening foreign bases
were established. One war was
ended and incipient wars were
blocked.
“I doubt that anyone can per
suade you," he told his audience,
“that in the past 21 months there
has been anything constructive on
foreign relations to equal any part
of that eight-year record.”
The affair was billed as a birth
day dinner for Eisenhower, who
was 72 Sunday.
The champion Republican vote
getter of all time, he packed the
armory. One party official esti
mated the gross receipts at nearly
$500,000.
Shortly before Eisenhower’s
speech, police revealed that $70,
000 in cash and checks collected
for the dinner had been stolen
from Republican state headquar
ters over the weekend. All but
$10,500 in cash was later recovered.

for burglary.
The man fled out a rear door.
Satan and his working partner, !
patrolman Charles Stevenson, pur- i
sued.
The police dog cornered the man ;
a block away and held him. But i
Stevenson fell into a ditch.

grabbed Smith’s arm to prevent
him from firing. The wanted man

How Has Egan Leadership
Helped Alaska Meet Its Obligations
Regarding
government
During These First
Years of Statehood?
HEALTHY FINANCIAL CONDITION. Since
Statehood Alaska has assumed millions of dollars
in new responsibilities — roads, mental health,
fisheries rehabilitation — to name a few. Despite
these new costs, on June 30, 1962, Alaska had a
general fund balance, available for future use,
of $24,371,457. Every budget since Statehood has
been in balance.
LOWEST GOVERNMENTAL COSTS. Government
costs the individual Alaskan less than the resident
of any other state. According to the United States
Department of Commerce. Alaskans nay the low
est state and local tax rate per $1,000 of income
in the nation.
STRONG EXECUTIVE BUDGET. Each depart
ment of State government must submit its spend
ing proposals to the Governor’s Budget Review
Committee and to the Governor before such re
ouests go to the Legislature. More than $20,
000.000 was deleted from departmental requests
in 1961 alone before the budget reached the Sen
ate and House Finance Committees — a far cry
from the uncoordinated, wasteful procedures fol
lowed as a territorv.
HONEST BUDGETS. Annual budgets now show
the full cost of government. All revenues go into
the general fund and are subiect to aooronriation
by the Legislature. No longer are certain pro
grams sidetracked into budget obscurity, thereby
creating a misleading impression of government
cost.
OPEN GOVERNMENT. Meetings of boards and
commissions, by law. are open to the public.
Uniform procedures have been established to
protect the public from arbitrary and unpubli
cized rules and regulations.
