Prestige Is Going to
The Dogs in Washington
WASHINGTON W — Prestige
is going to the dogs in the nation’s
capital.
John Nelson, assistant chief of
the District of Columbia Licensing
Bureau, said Wednesday that Pres
ident Kennedy’s three dogs will be
given the low-number prestige of
1, 2 and 3 on their licenses this
year.
Charlie, a Welsh terrier belonging
to the Kennedy family has been
the No. 1 dog in town for more
than a year, but Pushinka, a gift
from Soviet Premier Khrushchev,
and Clipper, the family’s German
shepherd, had been relegated to
the fairly low status of Nos. 9
and 10.
The new lineup means down
grading for the canine licenses of
two other well known families.
Vice President Lyndon Johnson’s
beagle will drop from No. 2 to No.
4. And FBI Director J. Edgar
Hoover’s Cairn terriers will slip
from Nos. 3 and 4 to 5 and 6.
Employment Shows
A Rise During April
JUNEAU UP) — Total employ
ment in Alaska during the month
of April was 65,900, up 3,600 from
the figure during the same month
last year, Labor Commissioner Gil
Johnson said yesterday.
Johnson attributed the rise to
state and federal government
hiring and increased employment
in the contract construction and
trade and service industries.
Indications are that construc
tion employment this summer will
surpass the 6,700 workers on the
job during the peak activity
month of September, 1962, John
son said.
An estimated 3,000 persons will
be employed on state highway
projects alone.

Accordance with Sentence
t MOSCOW UP — Tass said Thurs
day Oleg Penkovsky has been ex
! ecuted in accordance with the sen
| tence pronounced last Saturday in

by Penkovsky, 44, sentenced to
death after being convicted of high

was a former deputy chief of the
State Committee on scientific re
search and coordination.
Wynne, also 44, was sentenced

[ contended before the military court
which tried him with Penkovsky
that he had been tricked by the
British Intelligence Service into
serving as a courier for Soviet
military, political and economic
secrets ferreted out by Penkovsky.
The court ruled the two were
members of a spy network that
fed 5,000 films of secret Soviet
documents to the West in 16
months.

Paid Off In Pennies . . .
HUNTINGTON, N.Y. W — It
made sense to Miss Isabelle Penny,
but not to architect Gordon Wie
denkeller, who worked with his
office staff gathering 35,848 of the
lady’s “namesakes” of the floor.
Miss Penny, 60, lost a court
judgment of $358.48 to Wieden
keller yesterday despite he con
tention that she didn’t think she
owed the architect anything lor
building plans, because she didn’t
use them.
Miss Penny paid with seven
bags of pennies which were dump
ed on the floor.
Tax Proposals Would Be
Beneficial to Small Business
WASHINGTON UP) — President

He added he doesn’t “want con
trol of the economy in the hands
of government or large groups,”
WASHINGTON tfl — Mrs. Ed
ward Kennedy, wife of the Massa
chusetts senator, was resting at
home today after losing her expect
ed baby by miscarriage.

fered the miscarriage on Tuesday,
but it was not confirmed until

32 Strike Outs . . .
FARMINGDALE, N.Y. UR —
More than 10 strikeouts in a game?
Sandy Koufax seems to do it all
the time.
More than 20? Tom Cheney of
Washington struck out 21 last sea
son in 16 innings against Baltimore.
But more than 30? No one around
here had ever heard of it until
Ken Widman did it, with two to
spare.
The handsome, blond pitcher of
the Long Island Aggies struck out
32 men in 18 innings in a 2-0
game in the recent district finals
of the National Junior College
tournament. He also had a no
hitter for 92/3 innings.
The performance perked up in
terest in the 19-year-old right
hander among pro baseball scouts,
and they came to the right place.
Young Widman has wanted to be
a pro ball player all his life, and
he is more interested in that right
now, well, girls.
“There’s time for them later,”
he said.

Issues Challenge
LONDON UF> — American long
distance swimmer Mary Margaret
Revell of Detroit, yesterday issued
a challenge to a Russian swimmer
to match her stroke for stroke
across the English Channel this
summer.
Miss Revell arrived in London
Wednesday night from Rome. She
recently made the first two-way
swim of the Strait of Messina be
tween Italy and Sicily.
Miss Revell said she had come
to Britain “primarily to issue a
challenge to the Russian Embassy
in London for a Russian to swim
the English Channel side by side
with me in July.”
AGREE TO MEET
TOKYO (iP — Red China and the
Soviet Union finally have agreed
to meet July 5 in Moscow to begin
an attempt to iron out their ideo
logical differences.
The Russians had suggested the
meeting be held in mid-May. The
Chinese proposed mid-June. There
was no official explanation of the
further delay, but Moscow ob
servers believe the Russians want
to conclude the meeting of the
Soviet party’s Central Committee
—scheduled for June—before they
meet the Chinese.
Doctors long have thought emo
tional upsets can lead to ulcers.
Now some dentists believe they
also hasten tooth decay.
