Machetanz Named
Distinguished Associate
Of Art at U of Alaska
One of Alaska’s best known
contemporary artists, Fred Mache
tanz, formerly of Unalakleet, was
appointed the University of Alas

in art.
In announcing the appointment,
Dr. Win. Wood, president of the
university, explained that Mache
tanz’ appointment is the first in
a new creative program initiated
by the university.
“This new program will bring
noted Alaskan artists from various
fields — art, music, literature, and
the like — into closer association
with the university,” he explained.
“While they will not be full-time
instructors, they will give lectures
on campus, be available as con
sultants to students and faculty,
and participate in exhibitions and
displays.”
To mark his new appointment,
Machetanz will present a week-long
exhibition of his paintings and
lithographs July 22-26. Included
in the show will be a complete col
lection of all 27 of his lithographs,
and 20 of his recent oil paintings
depicting Alaskan life and scenery.
Book Relates Sequel to
Bay of Pigs Invasion
NEW YORK GP — An unexpect
ed telephone call from President
Kennedy involved Dr. Milton S.
Eisenhower in “one of the most
amazing and muddled incidents in
the history of inter-American af
fairs,” the former President’s
brother says.
Dr. Eisenhower’s book, “The
Wine Is Bitter: The United States
and Latin America,” published by
Doubleday, relates a sequel to the
Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba. He
calls the episode “the most ex
asperating six weeks of my life.”
The story concerns the attempt
to liberate Cuban invasion prison
ers in return for $3-miliion worth
of tractors. Eventually, a year and
a half later, the cost was 20 times
that much in medical supplies. Dr.
Eisenhower intimates the episode
nearly brought disaster on U.S.
prestige. “Fortunately,” he writes,
“the terrible mistakes made in
the Cuban invasion and the
clumsy fumbling displayed in the
tractors for prisoners deal have
not characterized other efforts of
the Kennedy administration in
the Latin-American area.

Attv. Gen. Kennedy Says
Civil Rights Bill Will
Stamp Out Fires of Discord
WASHINGTON UFI — Atty. Gen.
Robert Kennedy told Congress
yesterday the administration’s civil
rights bill is aimed at “stamping
out the fires of racial discord in
our land.”
In his third appeal on Capitol
Hill for passage of the measure.
Kennedy said discrimination in
education, employment, voting and
public accommodations that bars
Negroes from the “main stream of
our society” must be wiped out.
While Kennedy was testifying
before the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee on the administration’s
seven-point program, another cabi
net member. Secretary of Labor
Willard Wirtz, was telling the
Senate Commerce Committee that
an end to discrimination in public
accommodations would contribute
immeasurably to the nation’s econ
omy.
The commerce group's hearings
are limited to the accommodations
part of the program.
Kennedy stressed the accommo
dations bill, saying discrimination
in hotels, restaurants and the like
“is the wrong that has caused
most of the recent demonstrations.”
Kennedy Gets Mobbed
By High School Students
WASHINGTON UP — President
Kennedy was mobbed Thursday —
in his own back yard — by more
than 2,500 high school students
from 56 countries who converged
on him in hopes of a handshake or
autograph.
Kennedy took a severe buffeting,
as the youngsters pushed and
shoved to get to his side after
clambering over and around rope
barriers.
Secret Service agents and
Wliite House police had to use el
bows and shoulders in a not-too
gentle struggle to keep the crowd
from knocking the President down
and possibly causing a new injury
to his weak back.
One White House policeman, Lt.
Edward Teehan, collapsed while
trying to control the mob and was
carried into the cabinet room by
two officers.
The mob scene erupted on the
south lawn of the White House
after Kennedy addressed 'the
cheering, singing students, who
soon will return to their home
lands after spending a year in
American schools under an Amer
ican field service exchange pro
gram.
Mental Examination Ordered
JACKSON, Miss. UP — A mental
examination was ordered Thursday
for Byron de la Beckwith, charged
with assassinating Negro civil
rights leader Medgar Evers.
District attorney Bill Waller,
who raised the question of sanity,
included the proceedings from
two Beckwith divorce suits to back
his move.
The defense contended Beckwith
was capable of helping prepare
a national defense and therefoe,
in the legal definition, is sane.

2 Marine Parachutists
Tangle In Jump Mishap
CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. !.f> I
— Two Marine parachutists, their
chutes tangled in a jump mishap,
tugged, scrambled and grabbed
during a 2,000-foot fall — and
landed safely.
Gunnery Sgt. Wm. Bierd said it
happened this way:
Cpls. Wilbur Kirchoff and John
Cox, both 22, made a routine train
ing jump Tuesday night with the
Fleet Marine Force Pacific’s 1st
Forest Reconnaissance Co.
Cox dove through Kirchoff’s
shroud lines and his own chute un
furled behind him but didn’t open.
“I thought I was falling too
fast but when I looked up, 1 saw
a parachute canopy. The only
trouble was, it wasn’t mine.” said
Cox.
Both chutes t,... a tangled and
collapsed.
Kirchoff’s opened, closed, and
then popped open again at 701)
feet. Meanwhile, Cox jerked open
his reserve chute but it snaked out
of the pack without ballooning.
Kirchoff, still tangled with Cox,
grabbed Cox’s main chute and
wraped it tightly about his own
reserve parachute.
“We were still going fast, but
I realized it wasn’t enough to do
any more than break my legs,”
Cox said.

costs $10 for two days of fishing
and only $12 for three full days
