GOO D EVENING EV~BYHODr: Now that the dust has settled on the Soviet cosmonauts - Western experts are taking a second look at the flight of ~ikolayey and Popovich. The consenau ■ seems to be - that l ittle is changed internationally. The Co ■■unist bloc, no stronger - than it was. The West - no weaker. Perhaps the best com■ ntar1 - co ■ es fro ■ Paria, that the Bussiana have cosmonauts, even it they don't have shoes anJ razor blades. The lrench say that •ahoe1 and razor blades are what the SoYiet people want.• The Paris apokes ■ an, 1u ■ming up in these words - •The A ■ ericans have basic consu■er goods; and, they haYe their astronauts as well.• Perhaps a point worth pondering. ionder what [brushchev•a inner thoughts are about that? While hi• L. T. - 2 "Falconw and his "Golden Eagle" - flew high and far into outer space, but on the ground, millions - tens of millions of his people may have to wait quite a while - for shoes, and razor blades. NEW MAN ------- The expu ls1· on of A • C mer1c·n orres p ondent Whitman B assow, from the Soviet Union - follows an old familiar pattern. The Soviet authorities, objecting to his dispatches - terming them •slanderous.• Giving the author a week - to go bo ■ e. Bassow'a publication, •Newsweek Ma g azine• - denies the charge - and says the dispatches were• •through and objective.• Adding that - it intends to apply tor another staff man to be accredited in ~oscow. The moral ot the Baaaow expulsion -that the threat of the censor still hangs o••r the head of Western correspondents. The direct blue-penciling of dispatches in the Soviet capital - ended over a year ago. But, the ~realin still has ways of cracking down on members of the news corps - who are too far out of step with the Red ~ine. N£W GUlN.t:A ____ .., ____ _ Sovereignty in New Guinea seems to be a matter of - flag waving. Three flags - to be ex.act. nlthougb tonight, the Dutch flag - flies over the big island ott the northern coast of Australia, U.N. representatives are on their way - to hoist the banner of the U.N. This, the first step - following last night's agree ■ ent between the Netherlands and Indonesia. So two flags will soon be flying - over New Guinea. The next step - lowering the Dutch flag in December. Replacing it - the Indonesian flag. iinall7, next lay - the U.M. flag to come down permanently. Leaving only the sy ■ bol of Indonesian authorit7. lt will be interesting to see what the hostile tribesmen o.f New Guinea do about this! HUMPHRE The former Secretary of the Trea~ury flatly denie~ - that he made windfall profitE while serving as a member of the Eisenhower administration . George Humphrej', telling Senate investigators - that the Hanna Company, with which he was connected, did not wangle government contracts. That, on the contrary - the Company was reluctant to go ahead with the sale of nickel ore. Reason - its new me · thod of smelting was still in the experimental stage. Why were the contracts - accepted'? Because the government wanted the nickel in a hurry - according to George Humphrey. Profits? The former Secretary of the Treasury estimates them at a figure - far below that alleged by government auditors. BANlJlTS ------- A dispatch from Chiquin ' Quira, Colo ■ bia - revived memories of an old Latin-American custom. The custom of - the bandit. With ovetones of - Murietta and Pancho Villa. Like a page out of history, today's headline; - a gang of bandits holding up a group ot Colombian farmers en route to market. The farmers, modern - riding in a bus. The bandits, with more local color - riding aautiful Palaminos - at the gallop. They rode the■ across the road, made the passengers get out - encouraging slower ones with gun ■ ; and shooting - those who resisted. After robbing everybody, they galloped oft into the hills. According to dogota, t . he leader of the gang i ■ - an ex-farmer na■ed Efrai ■ Gonzalez. Efrai ■ Gonzalex, leader of the bandits. ROBBERY FOLLOW BA N DITS Today, the Post Of'f1ce Department in Washington - sent itE top agent, and ten assistants, to Boston. Inspector ) ~-1~ Henry Montague, .r.iWW1._nl1-~fiiwk clues - to the thieves who got away with* million, five hundred thousand...k ~ A I south of Bostqn. The belief is - that five men and one woman were in the gang. The men, robbing - the mail truck. The woman, driving - the getaway car. ~TAGG ---- l'd like nothing better than to be at that celebration in Chicago tonight - in honor of a legendary American. Amos Alonzo Stagg. The grand old man of football. Stagg - one hundred years old today. When be was born on August ~ixteenth, Eighteen Sixty-Two - the American version of football hadn't even been invented. ln fact, Stagg became - one of the ga ■ e'a inventors. iow, be is the only survivor of the original faculty - at the great University of Chicago. The group that began classes - in Eighteen iinety-Two, with Stagg, as - Athletic Director, and football Coach. His football tea■ s ran up a great winning record - before he retired fro ■ Chicago at the age of seventy. With fabulous stars like Walter Ekersall. Then, at'70, Stagg went to the College of th• Pacific _ still winning. ue set an unparalled record - before TaGG - 2 ----- he did retire. Seventy years - as a football coach. finally retiring - at the age of ninety-eight. Tonight, - still going strong - even joining in the celebration. One of the greatest figures in all history of sports - celebrating his first century, D ick. hmoa Alonzo Stagg! The Canadian government re p orts - no danger to shipping - from the breakup o f the ~llsmere ice shelf. 1t won't all come floating south past ~reenland - to menace ocean liners and freighters in the iorth Atlantic. The ones really interested in this phenomenon - not the sailors - but the glaciologists - and Arctic experts. for eons, an ice shelf two hundred miles square - clung to the nor~ern shore of ~llsmere lsland. The ice, neYer melting - way, way up there b , eyond the Arctic Circle - facing the Pole. Glacier experts figured it would cling right where it was, mebbe for a le• hundred years more. But, the ice shelf broke off suddenly - with a low roar and a Polar tidal wave. The reason - still a scientific mystery. T , onight, the Ells ' mere i , ce shelf is_ a group of Ellsmere ice islands. More ice island• to roa■ the Arctic Ocean. So ■e of the■ big enough for scientific bases - lite those we have . on that ice island near the ~orth Pole where ■1 son was ■ arooned last April with a group of scientists - and a few polar bear1. l wonder who will occupy the•• islaad1 - our ~cientiata - or th• lu1siaa1? The Bed• haT• their Arctic experts far out there on the ice of th• Polar Sea - a■d 10 have••!
