Agreements With Russ
Might be Accomplished,
Says Sec. Rusk
MIAMI BEACH. Fla. — Sec
retary of State Dean Rusk says
he hopes it will be possible to
reach agreements with the Soviet
Union “on safeguards against
war by accident, miscalculation or
surprise attack.”
In a speech before the National
American Legion Convention last
night. Rusk also set down more
than a half dozen other areas in
which he said agreements with
Russia might be made.
"In seeking understandings with
the Soviet Union,” Rusk said, “we
do not expect to effect a miracu
lous change in Soviet intentions
toward us. Our intention is to
keep the conflict within tolerable
bounds — to defend and build
freedom without a thermonuclear
holocaust.”
Besides safeguards against an
unintended nuclear war, Rusk
said, “we favor also, though this
will be more difficult to achieve,
a slowing down of actual arms
production and reductions in ex
isting levels of armaments — with
adequate inspection.”

First, Get A Head . . .
LONDON uP — For a cold take
the juice of three double whiskies
— and pour it on your head.
That’s what happened at John
Dowsett’s pub, the Steam Engine.
“At first,” said Dowsett, “I
thought the three blokes were
drunk.”
The men were Jamaicans. Said
one of them, Hulut Taylor:
“Back home we usually use
white rum to cure colds and head
aches, but white rum’s hard to
get here, so we use whisky.”
“I'm all in favor of this cure,
naturally,” said the pubkeeper.
“My whisky sales have gone up
about 50 per cent. The cure works.
I know, I’ve tried it.”
A spokesman for the British
Medical Association, asked what
he thought of it, replied:
“I’d say it’s a woeful waste of
good whisky.”

Legion convention Monday night.
Four persons were injured.
The cannon exploded just as the
parade was ending. One of the in
jured, Lester Cordell of Tulsa,
Okla., said, “I was standing on the
sidewalk when the gun went past.
The guy with the fuse asked me to
light it. I did with my cigarette
lighter and it went off.”
The blast smashed a plate glass
window.

SOUTH AFRICAN
CALLERS RAISE
ANCHORAGE POLICE
JOHANNESBURG. South Africa j
UFi —< "I hope your land is as calm i
as mine,” was the wish of an An
chorage, Alaska, police sergeant
when he spoke to the Johannes
burg Star newspaper in the first
telephone call made from this
country on the new South Africa
Alaska service.
Sergeant Robert Lydell was the
only Anchorage citizen the New
York operator could raise for the
Star on the 12,000 mile circuit
spanning the Atlantic Ocean and
the North American continent.
A helpful but harrassed South
African long-distance operator
handled the call. After trying sev
en numbers, including those of the
mayor, the chief of police and the
editors of two Anchorage news
papers the operator finally got
Sergeant Lydell on the line.
Reception was good. It was easy
to detect surprise in the sergeant’s
tone at being called all the way
from remote South Africa. His
first answers were guarded as if
he thought he was being made the
victim of some practical joker.
The Star reports his impression
of Johannesburg is that it is a big
thriving city. When he mentioned
racial conditions he talked of ‘‘The
States” as if it were another coun
try.
On behalf of Anchorage Ser
geant Lydell sent the people of
1 Johannesburg “Best wishes for a
peaceful future.”
