Gov. Wallace Won't
Help to Enforce Law
WASHINGTON UP — Gov. Geo.
Wallace of Alabama declared Tues
day he would make no effort to
help enforce a federal public ac
commodations law nor would he
encourage compliance with it in
his state.
“I would just go ahead and be
the governor of Alabama and let
the federal folks try to enforce
it,” Wallace told the Senate Com
merce Committee.
In that connection, the governor
restated his view it would take an
army of federal agents or troops
to enforce a law opening restau
rants, motels and theaters and
other places of business to racial
integration.
Wallace returned to the commit
tee to complete the fiery testimony
against President Kennedy’s bill
which he began Monday.
Wallace's declaration he would
not help enforce a public accom
modation law came during an ex
change with Sen. Philip Hart, (D
Michd, which even got into the
question of whether heaven will
be segregated.
Hart, a member of both the
• Commerce and Judiciary Commit
tees, said that since Wallace had
introduced this ‘‘solemn note” into
the proceedings, he would like to
ask “what you think heaven will
be like, will it be segregated?”
Wallace answered that “I don’t
think any of us knows what heaven
will be like.” He went on to say
“God made us all, he made you
and me white, he made others
black. He segregated us.”
GOLD MINING STOCK
(.Taken from Sen. E. L. Bart
lett’s Newsletter.)
A leading investment analyzing
service carried the following in an
advertisement last week:
“Although there is no certainty,
the chances are increasing that
the price of gold may be raised
throughout the world. Such re
valuation, if it comes, might actual
ly treble the per share earnings
of some gold mining stocks, with
corresponding effect upon their
prices.”
The heat created in the sun is
equal to the energy produced by
one billion hydrogen bombs ex
ploding every second.
Wade Says No Chance
For Special Election
FAIRBANKS W — Secretary of
State Hugh Wade said here Mon
day he saw no chance for a special
election on the referendum peti
tion seeking to revoke the manda
tory borough act.
The first chance for an election
on the referendum will be during
the August 1964 primary election,
he said.
•*In the mean time the petition
will come to the attention of the
legislature,” he added, “but what
they might do about the borough
act I could not say.”
Asked if he thought a special
election would be called to vote
on the referendum petition, Wade
said, “definitely not.”
He added: “It should be pointed
out that the referendum petition
asking for a vote on the mandatory
borough act does not have any
effect on the borough election that
is coming soon.”

CORPUS CHRISTI, Tex. UP —
JeweLrv valued at half a million

diamond necklace worth more than
$100,000 Runyan reported.

Seattle, accused of taking a penny
from the pocket of a dead man,
was charge Monday with larceny.
Monti and the dead man, Gust
Jutman, 61, lived in the same hotel.

last week when he noticed Jutman
lying on the floor. Police said
Jutman apparently shot himself.
Monti admitted taking the
penny, authorities said.

the Nome Light & Power Co., left
for Anchorage for the opening bids
for the foundation of the new
power plant in the west end of
Nome, planned for counstruction

A young man who put his dream on wheels was Henry
Ford, pictured with his first automobile in 1896. That
dream was to produce a light-weight, inexpensive auto
mobile that the ordinary family could afford, and its
fulfillment put the world on wheels. Mr. Ford, born 100
years ago this July 30, was 33 when he posed in his
Sunday finest, sporting a proud mustache, with the car
he built in a rented workshop in Detroit.
HENRY FORD PROFILE — 1863-1963
4 SK ANY HISTORIAN what happened in the month of July,
1863, and he will tell you that Union forces won the battle
of Gettysburg and General Grant took Vicksburg.
Chances are, however, that he will overlook another event
that also had a significant impact on the course of history. It
took place on July 30, 1863, on a small farm in Springwells
Township, Mich., just a few miles outside Detroit. There the
first of four boys and two girls was born to a Scotch-Irish farmer
named William Ford and his wife Mary. They named their son
Henry.
Henry Ford is well known as the man who "put America on
wheels,” but most persons are surprised to learn how much he
had to do with putting America in the air.
No other airplane has endured as long or as marked as many
historic milestones as the Ford Tri-motor. The first all-metal,
multi-engined transport in the United States, Henry Ford’s Tri
motor was standard equipment on the airlines of the nation
during the late twenties. Until the first flight of the Boeing 247
in February 1933, "the Tin Goose” or "the Model T of the air,”
deserved the reputation of being the only genuine commercial
transport in the country.
If Henry Ford were still alive, what might the maker of the
Model T, the Model A and the industry’s first low-priced V8
engined cars think of the products Ford Motor Company is
building today?
No doubt he might grumble about the 90 models offered.
He might look on today’s colors and interiors as frivolous. Prob
ably he would admire the size and economy of the Falcon and
Comet cars as "practical.” The Thunderbird and Lincoln Con
tinental might receive his approval as "mighty comfortable” and
perhaps — in black — as "elegant.”
Older folks remember Henry' Ford for the Model T and
Model A Fords they learned to drive. But their fathers probably
remembered Mr. Ford as the man who set the world’s record for
the flying mile at better than 90 miles an hour in 1904 with his
famous racer, the ”999.”
Even in faraway Nome, Alaska, the impact of the Model T
Ford started changing the way of life in the Arctic with the gas
engine taking over the work of dog teams in transportation.
