Wild Horse Annie Campaign Gains
WASHINGTON — (UPT) — A congressional subcommittee has sucumb to the impassioned pleas of "Wild Horse Annie" and approved legislation to outlaw motorized roundups of wild horses.
Chairman Thomas J. Lane (D-Mass.) said his House Judiciary Subcommittee approved the bill without amendments even though the Interior Department had asked that it be modified.
The department had opposed a complete ban on mustang roundups by truck and airplane. It sometimes sends out mechanized cowboys itself to corral wild horses that prey on livestock.
The campaign on behalf of the mustangs, which are roaming some Western states in dwindling numbers, was waged by Mrs. Velma B. Johnston, also known as "Wild Horn Annie," of Wadsworth, Nev.

Aluminum Walkout Delayed
NEW YORK — (UPI) — A Friday strike deadline against the nation's biggest aluminum producers has been postponed until 30 days after settlement of the steel strike, which is going into its third week with no end in sight.
With 500,000 steel workers on strike, an estimated 78,000 others laid off transport and mining jobs, and steel production at less than 15 per cent of national capacity:
—Chief Federal Mediator Joseph F. Finnegan, after separate conferences with both sides, said he saw no immediate prospects of a quick end of the strike but he is still trying.
—The United States Steel Corp. largest of the nation's steel companies, reported that its net profits in the first half of this year had set a record of $254,948,496—about 10 cents on each dollar of sales.
—Roger M. Blough, U.S. Steel chairman, said the firm would not raise prices unless it were forced to make an "involuntary settlement" by government intervention.
—David J. McDonald, president of the United Steelworkers Union. characterizes the profits of U.S. Steel and other steel firms as "astronomical," and asked: "How can they possibly justify the phony, inflation, issue at a time when they themselves are rolling in unprecedented wealth?"
reminded still-operating steel firms that they must give priority in delivery to defense contractors.

Hawaii Vote Winners Are of Oriental Blood

HONOLULU —(UPI) A Japanese-American war hero and a Chinese-American millionaire have captured congressional seats in Hawaii's first election as the nation's 50th state.
A Republican resurgence marked Tuesday's election, with more than 90 per cent of the island state's 183,-000 voters jumping across party lines.
The GOP elected the governor, lieutenant governor and one U.S. senator. The Democrats, in firm control of island politics for the past five years, nailed down the other U.S. Senate position and the lone seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.
In the state legislature, the Republicans held a 13-12 lead in the Senate with several seats undecided. In the House, the Democrats led 33-18.
Republican William F. Quinn launched himself into national prominence and touched off a horn-tooting, firecracker-popping, spree by supporters when he defeated Democrat John A. Burns, former delegate to the House of Representatives.
The 40-year-old Republican came to the islands in 1947 as an attorney. A native of Rochester, N.Y., he was educated at St. Louis University and Harvard Law School before serving in the Navy during World War II. While in the Navy he was decorated for his service on Okinawa.
HONOLULU—(UPI)—William F. Quinn, governor-elect of the 50th state, had lost his only previous try at public office when President Eisenhower appointed him Hawaii's territorial governor in September, 1957.
He made his first bid for political
office in 1956, when he ran unsuccessfully for a territorial House seat. The following year he was tapped by Eisenhower to replace lontime Republican Gov. Samuel Wilder King.
Quinn says his political philosophy is to weigh the political aspects of any problem, then base his final decision on whether it is "ethically or morally right."
Barker Describes Growth of Fund
Gifts are used for projects not available in state budgets, including scholarships, fellowships, library collections and grants.
Maurice Barker, executive secretary of the Greater University Fund of KU, presented a slide lecture Tuesday in the Holiday Inn at a meeting of the Optimist Breakfast Club.
Slides illustrated growth and achievements of private donations to KU, beginning with creation of the Endowment Assn. and culminating in the fund's receiving about $207,000 in gifts from more than 7,000 individual donors.
He said donations to the fund are used in their entirety instead of as an endowment, making it possible for gifts from KU alumni and friends to vary in size and number.
The earliest electrical hearing aid was larger than a console TV set and weighed more than the person using it.
