Former Atchison Editor Elected to Hall of Fame
Rv Patti Behen
The election of Gene Howe to the Kansas Newspaper Hall of Fame was announced Saturday at the annual Kansas Editors' Day sponsored by the William Allen White School of Journalism.
Howe is the 46th editor to be added to the Hall of Fame. His father, E. W. (Ed) Howe, nationally known as the "Sage of Potato Hill," was among those elected in previous years.
Gene Howe was born in Atchison in 1886. In 1911, at the age of 25, he succeeded his father as publisher of The Atchison Globe and was publisher of that newspaper until 1951. In 1924 he founded the Amarillo (Tex) Globe which he published until his death in 1952.
DEAN BURTON W. MARVIN told of Howe's contributions to his profession and community as a reporter, publisher and supporter of causes. He became best known for his simple and warmly humorous writing, most of which appeared in his column "The Tactless Texan."
Dean Marvin announced that Howe's picture will be placed, along with those of former Hall of Fame electees, in a new Hall of Fame area in Flint Hall, the School of Journalism building.
About 275 persons were present for the annual Editors' Day proceedings.
John A. Boyer, president of the Kansas Press Association, traditionally led the discussion at the "wrangle session," an open discussion of topics previously submitted by the editors.
THE GENERAL session was opened with the announcement of Gene Howe's election to the Kansas Newspaper Hall of Fame. Following the announcement, Henry B. Jameson, editor and publisher of the Abilene Reflector-Chronicle, addressed his fellow editors on his experiences as a small city editor, and gave an explanation of his unusual topic "We Shook Hell Out of the Community."

Lanaquae Banks Formed
While digging they uncovered an ancient plaque in Latin which, loosely translated, was an admonition to Roman workmen from their supervisor instructing them to dig gravel for ballast for Roman ships from one central pit rather than marring the area with a multitude of holes.
Jameson spoke of a series of articles he wrote last July about the startling rise in welfare costs in his county, and several other incidents which his paper covered "in considerably more depth than the small paper is accustomed to doing."
NEW YORK — (UPI) — Several years ago Trans World Airlines workmen in Rome were under instructions to dig gravel for ballast for piston-engine Constellations from one central pit in an effort to stop spoiling the site with a multitude of holes.
BALTIMORE—(UPI)—"Language banks" have become popular in hotels here. Foreign guests get telephone calls within the hour from a local resident who speaks his language.
HE WAS ARRESTED for allegedly urging on rioters opposing the admission to Negro James Meredith to the school.
Walker was arrested a week ago during the rioting on the University of Mississippi campus at Oxford. He is charged with rebellion, insurrection and seditious conspiracy.
Walker flew to Dallas accompanied by his mother, Mrs. Charlotte Walker of Center Point, Tex., and Canyon, Tex., rancher J. Evetts Haley, like Walker a onetime unsuccessful candidate for governor
"I intended to make only a short trip to Mississippi," he said. "However, it got to be quite extended."

The airport crowd waved "Walker for President" signs and cheered when he said he only went to Mississippi "to see a football game."
HE IS FREE ON a reduced bond of $50,0000 from a U.S. hospital for federal prisoners at Springfield, Mo. He agreed to a mental checkup before being released.
DALLAS — (UPI) — Former Maj. Gen. Edwin A. Walker waited today for his "eleventh hour" meeting with two psychiatrists.
Walker said the residents of Oxford were "sincere, anxious and worried-yet determined to avoid violence."
Walker said attorneys Morris, and retired Army Gen. Clyde Watts of Oklahoma City had advised him not to answer questions that might prejudice his trial.

Walker returned home yesterday, gleefully waving a big western hat at some 200 followers who met him at the Dallas airport.
Walker must appear for a psychiatric examination by Dr. R. L. Stubblefield of the Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas and a private psychiatrist selected by the government before Thursday.
He said he was two miles away from the "Ole Miss" campus when arrested. He denied being driven away from the campus at bayonet point.
An attorney for the 53-year-old Walker, Dr. Robert Morris of Dallas, said the federal government must prove eight points before Walker can be tried on the charges against him. They add up to this: Walker must understand what is happening, know he is in court and is mentally able to tell his attorney all the facts concerning the case.
WALKER SAID yesterday he could not understand how the question of his sanity got into the case.
Backs JFK On Cuba
Walker Must Undergo Tests On Sanity By Thursday
COLUMBIA, Mo. — (UPI) — U.S.
Sen. Stuart Symington, D-Mo., today urged the Kennedy administration to take a firm stand regarding its Cuban policy and said retaliation should be taken against the Castro government only when the Soviet buildup becomes offensive rather than defensive.
Symington said a nuclear war would be horrifying, and noted that even if the United States were the first to launch an attack this nation could expect to lose nearly 75 million people.
"The Monroe Doctrine works both ways," Missouri's senator said. "The administration is worried about what Khrushchev would do regarding Turkey and other allies near Soviet nations if we attack Cuba."
Stockpiling of relatively short range ground to air missiles would be defensive; going to ground to ground weapons of from 300 to several thousand mile range, would be offensive.
Speaking on a panel show over a local television station (KOMUTV), Symington defined the differences between offensive and defensive measures as follows:
