An Aaaui&u American airman_ shooting up the Manston U.S. Air Force basa. Killing three - / and wounding seven. Insanity, no doubtj- ~ some kind of paranoia. The airman's name Napoleon Green. A curious name - reminding one of delusions of grandeur. The airman from Chicago - a supply clerk, walked a into the acoounting office at the base - armed with a carbine and an automatic pistol. Opening fire - without warning. Killing - a U.S. Air Force Sergeant. Ttien, in ~ild flight he shot and killed a British Corporal and an American M PJ wounding - a number of others. He seized an automobile and drove to a nearby vacation beach, on the channel coast. People on the beach - 1n a panic. Ntltt2J Military pursuers closed 1n on him - exchanging gunfire. He took refuge4n a cliff - wounded. Then KILLING - 2 • turned his pistol on himself - a suicide. The murderous madness - of Napoleon Green. ATOMIC A big day at Harwell, Englands great atomic center. ecurity regulations eased - for a visit by one,hundred•and•five ,, ,, nuclear physicists who attended the atomi:ts for peace conference - - - at Geneva. Forty-two of them - from Russia or other Iron Curtain countries. They were taken on a tour through Harwell, and shown the latest in British atomic u research. The physicists from the world of Conununlsm say they were 'very impressed." Most eloquent were a few brief words from Professor Novolkov, Deputy Secretary General of the Soviet Academy or Scientists) ,)fho was asked about a thing that happened at .,,., Geneva) )'fiere, the British announced - they,.. starting a twenty year atomic program which will supply half of the British needs fo~ ■ t■•i electricity by Nineteen Seventy-five~ This, at the time, drew some unfavorable comment from a colleague of Professor Novolkov, who said he thought the British were making "ras( predictions." Today, Novolkov was asked about that opinion - ATOMIC - 2 expressed by his Russian colleague. Did he agree with it? Novolkov replied, briefly: " I• must have been d " misquote. l'RIRCH PRIEST In Chicago, a clergyman proposed - to do a high dive. A Catholic priest, who s a i ~ ~ a d e a one--hundred...and_ fifteen foot dive into Lake Michigan. His purpose - to raise money for his church in France. The Reverend Robert Simon has a parish near the city of Besancon (the c is pronounced ass). His church wrecked in World War Two. So what could he do to rebuild it? i Father Simon explains - he has been an expert swimmer and diver ever since he was rour years old. So, after the war, he raised funds, by doing exhibition high dives. Appearing - .-1 . in France, Belglt'lwn, Morocco. ~ Now, he plans to e~tabl1sh a medical dispensary in hla Parish. So he thought he'd extend his dive activities to the United States. In Chicago, a promoter of shows told him - okay. But the Archbishop of Chicago - says -- no. Not dignified ~ ~ ~ ~ ' 4 . 2 J - for a clergyman to be a high diver, not in Chicago. A RESCUE At Niagara Falls, Ontario, a hospital report on George Dunphy, f ifty..one years ol d . In pretty good shape - after a frightful ordeal and a heroic rescue. On Saturday,~unphy fell down a cliff, along the Gorge of the Niagara River. Fell - one hundred feet. Sustaining a broken leg and a head injury. So there Dunphy lay, helpless for u seventy-two hours. Yesterday, a park employee heard his feeble cries. Rescuers had to use an aerial ladder to get to him. A ph~.1c1 was lowered, and gave him first aid. Then Dunphy was hoisted to the top of the cliff in a miner's bucket. The most remarkable part - how Dunphy happened to fall into the chasm. He says - he lay down to take a nap. Take a snooze - at the edge of the cliff along the Gorge or Niagara. Well, you know how it is when you're asleep - you•re likely to turn over. Dunphy did - and down he went. Like McGinty. TRUMAN Toda y , f ormer President Harry Truman said: "I sure hate to see the old place go. My grandfather bought it in Eighteen Si x ty-nine." - The old place - the Truman farm at Grand View, Missouri. Most of it now being sold. To become a suburban development. The former President relates - how, one-hundred-and- ten years ago, his maternal grandparents moved from Kentucky to Missouri. Mr. and Mrs. Solomon Young - who, after a while, settled on the fam at Grand View. H.S.T. was born in the old farml!touse. And, as a boy, did 1 the plowing. That was where, as he likes to say - he learned to "plow the straight furrow." Which was the beginning of that fabulous Harry Truman areer. Working on the farm - until he Joined the amy 1n ineteen Seventeen, and went off to u war. Then, returning, he didn't go back to the plow. He became a haberdasher in Kansas City_ shirts, neckties and suspenders. Then a TRUMAN - 2 politician - and on to the White House. His brother - remaining a farmer. Cultivating the fields at Grand View. But now they've sold most of those acres, and it's like something out of "East Lynn)" To hear Harry Truman moan: "I sure hate to see the old place go." ARKANS~ In Ohio, today, the Arkansas traveler - was on her way again. Mrs. Olgie Lamear, driving by horse and wagon - on to Arkansa s . Saying: "Folks have been mighty nice to me." ~llowing - a traffic accident. Mrs. Lamear, sixty years old, is from Castleton, Vermont,,'here she decided - she wanted to go to Arkansaf!,4it.l eo some farm1ng.M9N. So she hitched JJ up horse and wagon and took along - two dogs, eighteen chickens and six goats. ~ The chickens and goats rid~ along with her in the ~ ~ wagon. At night, ~camp~ along the road. Mil~ fhe goats - - ge~gs from the chickens. Yesterday, in Jh1o - the traffic accident. An automobile: sideswiping thfason, which was damaged. But tala folks were mighty nice to her. The offend1111 - motorist - offering to pay the damages. Farmer Roy Dhume say w -he'd fix the ~agon. Which he did. All of which brings · to memory a good old refrain - ARKANSAS - 2 fhe Arkansas traveler. I seem to ~ ';t-T4/-we-t remember one ech~ something like this: ~Said to the farmer, 'where does this road go? 1 He said: ''rt don't go nowhere - it stays right here.•
