COMANCHE
Comanche To Gallop Again In Disney Movie
Comanche will gallop again.
The famed cavalry horse, sole survivor of one phase of the historic battle of the Little Big Horn in 1876 when Lt. Col. Custer and 277 troopers of the 7th Cavalry were killed, has rested—stuffed and mounted—in the Museum of Natural History since death. He will be brought to life again in a forthcoming Walt Disney movie.
Disney Productions announced that it will make a full-length movie about the famous horse, who was also the hero of a book of the same name by David Appel.
The favorite mount of Capt Myles Keogh, a fighting Irishman in command of Troop I of Custer's regiment, Comanche received his name after a skirmish with Comanche Indians.
In 1947 the U. S. Army attempted to have the horse removed from the museum to Ft. Riley, but their attempts were resisted by the University, which claims financial ownership of the horse.
This is not the first time Comanche has received flashes of fame. The late Lewis Lindsay Dyche, who mounted the animal after its death at the request of the 7th Cavalry in 1892, displayed Comanche at the Chicago World's Fair in 1893.
Mr. Disney has assigned Lillie Hayward to write the screen adaptation of the book.
Shown at 1893 Fair
Then again, in 1953, the Kiwanis Club of Lewistown, Mont., wrote former Gov. Edward F. Arm of
Kansas demanding that the horse be returned to Montana and placed in the federal museum at the site of the historic battle.
When Comanche was returned to Ft. Riley, after recovering from wounds that "weakened him so much he had to be supported in a canvas sling" according to the late Gen. Hugh L. Scott, onetime commanding officer of the 7th Cavalry, orders were issued that the horse never be ridden again and that he should be displayed with full military regalia at all reviews and parades, and treated with great respect.
"The typical letter comes from historians, writers and children of about 12 years," said E. R. Hall, director of the museum. "Many children request photographs of the horse. People writing fictional accounts of one kind or another, often write to us requesting information about him."
Each year museum officials receive more than 100 inquiries about Comanche, "the finest mount in the 7th," Gen. Scott once said.
Field House Theft Articles Found
Some of the articles stolen from the locker room in Allen Field House Oct. 15 have been recovered by the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Chief Joe G. Skillman of the campus police reported today.
Hagerty Denies Ike 'Relapse'
WASHINGTON — (UP) — White House Press Secretary James C. Hagerty denied today that President Eisenhower suffered a "mild relapse" on his campaign swing last week.
Mr. Hegerty said a newspaper had advised him that columnist Drew Pearson would publish such a report tomorrow.
"It is the most amazing document of falsehood I have ever seen," Mr. Hagerty said.
He said that with the exception of a bloodshot eye caused by two small pieces of confetti lodging in it in Portland, Ore., Mr. Eisenhower "felt fine" on the campaign trip. He added that Mr. Eisenhower naturally felt tired after some of the long days of campaigning, but it "had nothing to do with his health."
Mr. Pearson said in a statement issued by his office that his story was "carefully checked" and that "I believe it to be true."
"Mr. Hagerty has been operating an Iron Curtain on information for a long time. His technique is to deny and clobber over the head any newpaperman who disagrees with him," he said.
Mr. Pearson said Mr. Hagerty, in August 1953, "categorically" and emphatically denied" a statement in his column that the President had high blood pressure and a heart condition.
"I leave it to the public," the columnist said, "to decide from subsequent events whether Mr. Hagerty or I was right."
Also, he said, he reported on a number of occasions before President Eisenhower's operation that the President had a "chronic digestive condition." Neither the President nor his physicians "admitted" this in their public reports on his health, Mr. Pearson said.
Weather
Fair this afternoon and tonight, becoming partly cloudy Saturday. Warmer west this afternoon and over state tonight and Saturday. Low tonight 50 south and 40s north.
The articles, belonging to KU athletes, have been forwarded to John C. Hazelet, chief of the Lawrence Police Department, who will turn them over to University officials for return to the owners.
The articles, one billfold and numerous cards, were found in a creek bed in Jackson County, Mo., by a small girl who was horseback riding in the vicinity of 92nd and Wormall, Kansas City, Mo.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol said the articles show "heavy water damages." The investigation is continuing by both city and University police departments, Chief Skillman said.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol was called by Mrs. Elsie Lindsay, 103 Jefferson, Kansas City, Mo., who said her daughter had found a brown zipper billfold and a number of identification papers. She said her daughter brought the billfold and papers home with her.
Chief Skillman said the articles were turned over to campus police late Thursday afternoon. He added that some of the articles have already been returned to the players.

Want To Study In England? Try A Rhodes Scholarship
Applications for Rhodes Scholarships to Oxford University should be given to Dean John H. Nelson of the Graduate School by Nov. 3.
To be eligible a candidate must be a male citizen of the United States for five years; unmarried; between the ages of 19 and 25 on Oct. 1, 1957, should have junior standing, and must receive official endorsement of his college or university.
A candidate who is over the age limit but who has had 90 days of active service in the Armed Forces since June 27, 1950, may deduct the period of his service from his age if by so doing he will qualify.
A definite quality of distinction, whether in intellect or character, is the most important requirement for a Rhodes scholarship.
A Rhodes scholarship pays $1680 per year. Scholars who qualify under the GI Bill of Rights or other military educational funds may expect the same benefits at Oxford as at an American university.
Appointment to a Rhodes scholarship is made for two years, and possibly three if the scholar's record at Oxford and plan of study warrant such an award. No restriction is placed upon a Rhodes scholar's choice of studies.
A candidate may apply either in the state in which he lives or in the state in which he received at least two years of his college education.
Information may be obtained from Dr. Nelson or Walter E. Sandelius, professor of political science.
Two representatives for Rhodes scholarships will be selected from Kansas colleges and universities and they will compete with candidates from Minnesota, South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska, and Missouri.
