HIGH-PRICED CANTEEN
LONDON UP — Bonnie Prince
Charlie forgot his canteen in his
tent when he fled a battlefield
217 years ago. Monday the same
canteen sold for 7,200 pounds
($20,160) at a London auction.
The defeat of the young pre
tender by the Duke of Cumber
land at Culloden, Scotland, in 1746
marked the end of the Jacobite
Rebellion and doomed the House
of Stuart.
The canteen was auctioned for
Viscount Bury, a descendent of the
Aide-de-Camp to the Duke of
Cumberland at Culloden.
It was bought by two London
silver dealers.

TOO MUCH LEG . . .
SYDNEY, Australia Ub — Gen.
Wilfred Kitching, the Briton who
heads the Salvation Army, says
women show far too much leg.
“Nowadays, skirts are much to
immodest,” he said in an interview
yesterday.
“How low would you like to see
our skirts?” asked a girl reporter
in a knee-length skirt.
“Better ask my wife,” answered
the general, smiling “But I would
say a skirt which came halfway
between the knee and ankle would
seem modest enough.”
The general is visiting Australia
for three weeks.
ANOTHER TREAT . . .
MOSCOW UD — Izvestia last
night followed up Premier Khrush
chev’s recent plug for American
cornflakes and potato chips with
news of another treat—popcorn.
“The Americans love air corn,”

“They sell small packages of it in
theaters, recreation spots, beaches,
cafeterias, railroad stations and
airports. Adults and children enjoy
it.”
“Air corn,” as the Russians call
it, is made from special hybrid
corn, Izvestia explained. It then
gave detailed instructions on grow
ing and preparing it.

Soviets Launch
Cosmos No. 13
MOSCOW UP> — The Soviet
Union launched an unmanned
satellite Tuesday.
The satellite was named Cosmos
13, the Soviet news agency Tass
announced.
The Soviets began launching
the Cosmos series a year ago and
said they were measuring radia
tion and other phenomena. Cosmos
12 was launched Dec. 22.
Tass said Cosmos 13 had been
placed in orbit with an initial
time to circle the earth of 89.77
minutes. The equipment installed
on board the satellite is function
ing smoothly, Tass said.
Satellite Situation
In Washington, an informal
check of the satellite situation of
both nations shows the following:
Since Oct. 4, 1957 when Sputnik
I was launched, the Russians have
announced 32 satellite and space
probe launchings. Of these, six
are known to be still in orbit, and
possibly at least six more.
The Russians, except in one in
stance, have not announced any
failures. But the United States has
said that two Venus probe at
tempts, not announced by the Rus
sians, had failed. One other Rus
sian Venus probe was successful.
In addition to all this, four other
satellite objects, unclaimed by any
nation, but presumed to be Rus
sian, are in orbit.
The United States has attempt
ed 194 launchings, of which 132
have been successful. Approxi
mately 50 scientific payloads are
still in orbit.
