Replace Franco Washington Asks
London (UP)—The British foreign office at London has received a note from the United States condemning the Franco government and recommending establishment of a temporary "caretaker" government to replace the Spanish dictator, Franco.
The United States would like to see this body hold elections permitting the Spanish people to decide what kind of government they want, and would want the temporary government to agree to release political prisoners and permit the free entry into Spain of political exiles.

Don't Laugh at That Clavicle, 'Cause It Really Isn't Humerus

Taron is in the cave.
Yes, it is a bone, but, darn it, I thought I got it up my coat sleeve before you saw it!
This is what members of the physical therapy class say every time they get caught with a bone showing. And there are a lot of bones showing these days.
When you see one of these young women wandering around the campus with a bone and mumbling in coherently to herself, don't think she has lost her mind. To her, the humerus isn't humorous at all; it is the bone above the elbow, and it has a "jillion" parts that have to be
learned before class tomorrow.
Those two trays at the table across the cafeteria belong to physical therapy students. On one is a scapula (shoulder blade, to you), and the other is decorated with a radius and ulna (bones of the lower arm). The students are talking—with each other—but to their bones.
The crooked bone that just went into Lil's coat pocket is a clavicle. She knows every groove, curve, and bump on it now, and is returning it to class to tell the instructor what she thinks about the collar bone.
Carrying bones around the campus isn't so bad, but just try to get on speaking terms with them. Oh, bro-ther!
