Damaged Ferry
Back Monday
JUNEAU (/ft — The state ferry
Matanuska, damaged when she hit
a submerged ledge in Sergius
Narrows near Sitka, Saturday
night, will resume her regular
schedule Monday morning, Gov..

dry-dock inspection of the ves
sel at Seattle showed damage to
be much less than originally be
lieved and that repairs could be
completed by midnight Friday.
The Matanuska is scheduled to
refuel immediately after leaving
the shipyard and depart for Ket

For Campaign
By BASIL C. RAFFERTY
OMAHA, Neb., LTt — Mrs. Tru
man Wood has a husband, three
children, two telephones, an ag
ing car, a newly seeded lawn and
a political gold mine.
She does her own housework,
sometimes with a lift from her
children, the oldest of whom is
Robin, 9, and tries to keep the
newly seeded lawn wet down. But
she has given up bridge, interior
decorating and the Junior League.
Mrs. Wood, a trim, vivacious
blue-eyed blonde of 35 and a
sixth-generation Omahaian, is one
of the originators and the prime
mover in what she calls an aston
ishingly simple do-it-yourself cam
paign to make Sen. Barry Gold
water of Arizona the 1964 Repub
lican Presidential nominee.
It is incorporated as “Gold for
Goldwater of Nebraska,” and its
registered office is 5410 Seward
Street, Omaha, the Wood home.
The campaign currently is yield
ing between $2,000 and $2,500 per
week “and I really believe we
haven’t even scratched the sur
face,” said Mrs. Wood, whose hus
band is a sales executive for an
oil refinery.
Contributions to the campaign,
which already has enlisted about
1,400 persons in 32 states, are
largely in the form of postdated
checks from $10 up. They are
placed in escrow in the United
States National Bank of Omaha un
der an agreement which provides
they will be turned over to the
corporation for use if Goldwater
is nominated, but will be burned
by the bank if he is not.
So far these checks total about
$12,000. Mrs. Wood says the dol
lar value of the contributions is
“completely secondary” to the
number of people the money rep
resents
“People who give money now
are committing themselves as
workers,” she said. It is her am
bition to see Goldwater go into
the national convention next year
with a broad enough base of sup
port to protect him from compro
mises hatched in smoke-filled
rooms. ,
Mrs. Wood, daughter of former
Republican Congressman Howard
Buffet of Omaha, lived in Wash
ington for six years as a girl. But
so far as politics was concerned.
“I was a complete dodo — that’s
my nickname — Dodo,” she said.

NAVY EVACUATES 2X
FROM SEA TOWERS
QUONSET POINT, R. I. W — A
squadron of Navy helicopters to
day evacuated 28 men from two
Texas towers, once part of the air
defense early warning system,
which are now being dismantled
off Cape Cod.
The structures, similar to one
which collapsed in a winter storm
off the New Jersey coast with a
cost of 28 lives, were being shaken
by gales and pounded by heavy
seas.
Cooperating in the airlift and
rescue operations involving Texas
Towers II and III were Navy heli
copters, Coast Guard amphibian
planes and Coast Guard cutters.
Texas Tower II stands 110
miles southeast of the Cape and
Tower III, 50 miles due east of
the outer Cape.
Workmen on Tower II asked
that they be brought ashore when
the partly dismantled structure be
gan swaying in rising winds and
waves.
The workmen are employed by
Lipsett, Inc., a subsidiary of Luria
Bros., New York.
The towers have been pro
nounced obsolete and recent in
spections have shown a weakening
of their foundation supports.
U S. CURBS TRAVEL
TO S. VIET NAM
WASHINGTON itf) — The State
Department announced today
that curbs have been put on offi
cial US travel to South Viet Nam
because of the unsettled situation
there. It suggested that American
tourists hold off on their visits
too.
Press officer Robert J. McClos
key said the immediate effect of
the official travel limitation is
to hold up departure of 50 de
pendents of military personnel who
had been slated to go to the
Southeast Asian country.
Other trips by US civilian and
military officials are being re
stricted to essential business and
considered on a case-by-case basis,
he said.
The State Department spokes
man said the curb is not a re
striction on US military move
ments and does not signify a US
intent to cut back its massive aid
to South Viet Nam in its war
against Communist guerrillas.
The Pacific Ocean is so huge
that all the continents could easily
fit into its 63.8 million square
miles.

White House Fireworks
Alarm D.C. Residents
By FRANCES LEVINE
Associated Press Staff Writer
WASHINGTON </R — Booming
sonic bursts of nighttime fireworks
at the White House entertained
President Kennedy’s guests but
kept police busy explaining the
aerial blasts to worried residents
in the capital area.
After the first colorful rocket
exploded with a crescesdo about
11:20 Thursday night, police said
they started getting a barrage of
telephone calls.
Whien the 15-minute display in
honor of the King and Queen of
Afghanistan had ended, police1
clocked close tr> 1,000 calls. The
switchboards of Washington news
paper offices were flooded.
Most callers said they thought
there had been an explosion or
bomb burst. When they learned
the noisemaking came from White
House fireworks, a few disgruntled
residents said it shouldn’t have
been done at that time of night.
But, for President Kennedy,
King Nohammed Zahir, Queen
Homaira and the 115 other guests
watching from balconies and the
south lawn of the White House, it
was an exciting bit of after-dinner
entertainment.
But. when the fireworks lit up
the sky, the President’s guests re
acted like youngsters.
The formal black tie state din
ner in honor of the visiting royal
couple marked the opening of the
fall social season at the White
House.
