Family Pigeon . . .
PORTLAND, Ore. UP> — Fred
Hathaway’s pigeon eats with the
cats and chases the family car
like a dog.
Hathaway raised the pigeon al
most from infancy. He found her
injured a year ago. Now she is
a full-fledged Hathaway, moving
freely among the dozen dogs, four
cats and other pets at the suburban
Hathaway home.
She likes cat food and eats with
the cats, pecking away any cat
that gets out of line.
When the family goes motoring,
pigeon goes along. She spends the
early moments riding on the hood
of the car, but when a good flying
speed is reached, pigeon takes off,
winging alongside the car at
speeds up to 50 miles an hour.
Once pigeon followed them for
eight miles.

Is a Complete Flop

$250,000 armored car caper here

plete flop by Tuesday.

and checks was found in a car left
at the airport here. Police said the
automobile belonged to Brown.

owner at Hope, B.C., reported find
ing another $325,000, all in cash,

Justice Department
Does Not Have Right
To Sue for Integration
BIRMINGHAM Uft — U.S. Dist.
Judge H. Hobart Grooms today
held that the Justice Department

Grooms, used as precedent an
identical suit filed in Mississippi

against the Mobile, Ala., school
systems.

to maintain this action, and fur
ther that the complaint does not
state a claim upon which relief can
be granted,” Grooms said. i

! Pope John Rallies,
! But Remains In
Grave Condition
VATICAN CITY UFI — Pope Johr
XXIII rallied today. The Vaticar
I announced the Pope showed a clear
improvement in his over-all condi
tion after a restful night, but it
was clear he remained in grave
condition.
The 81-year-old Catholic Pontiff
spent “a night of tranquil repose,
during which he did not need as
sistance,” a communique said.
The communique said Pope
John’s mind was clear and that he
never was unconscious, “even in
the acute moments of crisis.”
It was the first time the Vatican
ever said officially that the Pope
had gone through a crisis. Appar
ently he has gone through several
in the past six months, the worst
Tuesday.
A blood transfusion Tuesday en
abled him to survive hemorrahg
ing caused by an abnormal stomach
growth that has bothered him for
a year.
In St. Peter’s Square the usual
throng of camera-carrying tourists
gathered.
Vatican officials said many per
sons all over the world have writ
ten to the Pope, offering to donate
blood.
The Vatican called his affliction
a “gastric heteroplasia.” That could
be a benign tumor, a cancer, or an
avergrowth of tissue.

Fire on Oil Drilling Crews

ed fire Sunday on a Soviet-Cuban
crew drilling for oil off the north
coast.
No casualties were mentioned in
a report released by the Armed
Forces Ministry.

over Cay Frances firing bursts
:?rom “a thick caliber machine gun.”

off Cuba’s north coast where So

“After the aggression, the plane
flew around the area, occasionally
at an altitude of 200 meters,” the
communique said.
“There cannot be any other ex
planation that the plane is of the
warmonger elements of the Penta
gon and CIA (U.S. Central Intelli
gence Agency),” the government
note said.
NOT TRUE . . .
WASHINGTON UP — Secretary
of State Dean Rusk described as
“simply not true” today a Cuban

his news conference that Navy
patrol planes do not have ma

, Comedian Bob Hope
Turns 60 Today
HOLLYWOOD UR — Bob Hope,
who still goes like he was 40, turns
60 today.
And he’ll celebrate in typical
Hope style.
First he’ll land at the airport
after playing a benefit in Washing
ton, then hit a few golf balls over
at Lakeside Golf Club.
Tonight there will be a family
party.
“I’m at the age now where the
candles cost more than the cake,”
quips rapid Robert.
The National Broadcasting Sys
tem will salute him with a special
radio program (9:05-10 p.m., EDT>
on which many of the top stars
will pay him tribute.
He’ll have to share birthday
honors with John Kennedy, who
will be 46 today.
“I’ve got more years and more
writers,” says Bob who exchanges
telegrams with the President on
birthdays. ‘‘Of course, he doesn’t
have to be funny.”
In 1959, Hope suffered a blood
clot in one eye and was told to
take it easy. But that was like
telling Liz Taylor to give up ro
mance.
“Me retire? Slow down?” asks
Hope. “Never. If I couldn’t hear
an audience laugh, I’d die. It’s the
world’s greatest tonic.”
