<![CDATA[50 Years Ago From the Tribune week of Oct. 6, 1963 A Great Falls High School music teacher, an Anaconda Co. employee, a former state tennis champion, three other teenagers and an elderly Cut Bank man died in separate traffic accidents Friday night and Saturday. The seven deaths pushed Montana's road toll for 1963 to 172 compared with 189 a year ago. The music auditorium of the Charles M. Russell High School will be designated "Bill Williamson Hall" according to a resolution passed Wednesday by trustees of School District No. 1. The name will be given to the hall in memory of Great Falls High School choral director William G. Williamson, who was killed in an auto accident in Great Falls. The trustees said they are dedicating the hall "in memory of this young teacher as an inspiration to the young people he loved." Two associates of the late William G. Williamson have taken over the task of screening talent for the remaining hootenanny sessions sponsored by the Downtown Business Council. Paul Nelson of the Great Falls High School music department and Gordon Dahl, instructor at East Junior High School, have agreed to serve. Winners of the three preliminary programs will compete in the finals Oct. 25 for $450 in cash prizes. WASHINGTON - President Kennedy approved Wednesday night the sale of U.S. wheat to Russia and Communist nations of Eastern Europe. He spoke in terms of transactions ranging from $200 million. This could mean unloading upwards of 200 million bushels of surplus U.S. wheat at world prices through private channels. Kennedy said the nation obviously would benefit. He ruled out any sales to Cuba or Red China. Dorothy Rothwell, identified by federal authorities as the grandmother of Dennis White, 16-year-old youth scheduled to go on trial for first degree murder Monday, has been apprehended in North Dakota and federal charges against her dismissed. Mrs. Rothwell was apprehended Sept. 30 at Garrison, N.D., on a warrant charging her with unlawful flight to avoid giving testimony in the case of the murder accusation against her grandson. It is reported she aided in the identification of the ax alleged to be the weapon used in the July 13 murder here of Godfrey Johnson, 78. Johnson was bludgeoned fatally and his 73-year-old wife savagely beaten in the bedroom of their home. NEW YORK - Mrs. Ann Evangline LaChapelle Clark, widow of William Andrews Clark, multimillionaire copper mine owner, died Friday at her home in New York. Her husband, who died in 1925, was a Democratic senator from Montana from 1901 to 1907. Clark's will disposed of $250 million. Mrs. Clark and her children gave $700,000 to the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. Among the survivors are a daughter, Mrs. Huguette M. Clark, of New York. The possibility of making a jail sentence mandatory for conviction on charges of drunk driving in Great Falls will be reviewed by a committee of the City Council. The rising accident death rate in Montana and particularly in and around Cascade County prompted Alderman George R. Taylor to urge passage of such an ordinance. LEWISTOWN - Forty men used bare hands, shovels and a chain saw Thursday to rescue a workmen trapped more than three hours by tons of gypsum ore in a rock crusher bin. Battling against time and the danger of rock slides, fellow workers, authorities and volunteers pulled Henry Wicke Jr., 34, hoist operator at the Ideal Cement Co.'s Hanover mine seven miles west of here, to safety as he shouted, "Get me out! Get me out!" LOS ANGELES - The underdog Los Angeles Dodgers humbled the proud New York Yankees by sweeping the World Series in four straight games, winning the fourth Sunday 3-1 on Sandy Koufax pitching, Frank Howard's mighty homer and a glaring Yankee error. LONDON - Harold Macmillan, 69, is stepping down as prime minister. The "Unflappable Mac" who took over the government in the wake of the Suez crisis, then led his Conservative party to victory in the 1959 elections, announced his decision Thursday. He said he will not be well enough to lead the party into battle next year or to fulfill the tasks of prime minister for any lengthy period. NEW YORK - Mrs. Ngo Dinh Nhu, South Viet Nam's fiery first lady, flew into New York Monday night on a three-week American speaking tour. Her visit was opposed on the floor of the Senate in advance. During her speech-making trip in the U.S., Mrs. Nhu is prepared to defend her family's administration of Viet Nam, where Buddhists have charged they are victims of a ruthless crackdown by the government. Mrs. Nhu is expected to encounter nothing but ostracism from major American government officials. The Martin Denny Group, whose Liberty record albums, including "Exotica I," "Quiet Village" and "A Taste of Honey," are best sellers across the nation, has been signed by the West Side Optimists Club for a single performance at the Civic Center Sunday. The club, whose slogan is "Friend of the Boy," will use profits for boys' work, according to Jack Flaherty, chairman of the event. Martin Denny is best known as the originator of an authentic exotic sound in music, derived by the use of unique primitive instruments played in a melodic and swinging manner. 100 Years Ago From the Tribune week of Oct. 6, 1913 An attack was made by mayor N.T. Lease at last night's meeting of the city council upon the Great Falls Automatic Telephone company for the unsatisfactory class of service which is being furnished to its patrons. The mayor stated that the service which the city is obtaining from the telephone company is a source of great annoyance to the public. Chief of Police Pontet told of a northside man who upon a recent night had spent an hour and 25 minutes trying to get the police station by phone. Alderman Johnson said he had taken up the question some time ago but learned that the city had no authority over the company. Patrons of the movies in this city didn't enthuse over the so-called "Thaw pictures," which were shown last night and Monday night at the Grand. Even the small crowd who were at the show were not deceived in the pictures, for all knew that they were fake pictures and that while Harry K. Thaw may have been in a conspiracy to escape his imprisonment in a New York asylum and flee to Canada, he didn't take any moving picture outfits along to gather the films. One of the amusing features of the show was that it stopped just when real pictures of Thaw might have been secured and that the one in the pictures playing the role of Thaw wasn't a good imitation of him. It is reported that the pictures made a big hit in Butte. There will be a flour mill in operation in Stanford just as soon as negotiations now under way for a site can be concluded, a building erected and the machinery installed says the Stanford World. The plant will operated and entirely owned by G.F. Spady of Belle Fourche, Wisc., who included Stanford among a number of Montana towns which he visited in quest of a new location. NEW YORK - The Philadelphia Athletics won the baseball championship of the world for 1913 at the polo grounds today by defeating the New York Giants 3 to 1 in the fifth and deciding game of he series. Connie Mack, anxious to finish the struggle on the final day of the week, sent Eddie Plank, his veteran southpaw, to the mound, and John McGraw, his back to the wall, called upon Christy Mathewson to check the victorious rush of the Athletics and thus gain for his team a breathing spell. Leslie Bush, who reached the pinnacle of baseball success when he yesterday pitched a winning game for the Philadelphia Athletics in the world's series and held the heavy batters of the New York Giants down to five hits in 10 innings, will be easily remembered by Montana fans as one of the players who aided the Missoula team of the Union league in winning the 1912 pennant. ROCHESTER, N.Y. - Miss Ruth Hildreth, of New York City, was killed, and her sister, Dorothy Hildreth, was perhaps fatally injured this afternoon in Hammonsport when Lincoln Beachey lost control of his 100-horsepower aeroplane, and it swept several spectators off a roof from which they were watching the exhibition. Ruth Hildreth fell upon an automobile, and her skull was fractured. It is said Beachey planned to execute a somersault in the air, but when it was over the heads of the Hildreth party, the machine was seen to dip. Beachey was slightly hurt. PANAMA - Charges of dynamite were placed today in over 1,000 holes which had been drilled in the Gamboa dike preparatory to its destruction. Each hole contained from 80 to 100 pounds of dynamite, making in the aggregate the largest charge ever shot off. The Cook Railway Signal company's new automatic crossing gate, which has been purchased and installed by several railroads throughout this country, is considered to be the best signal device for the prevention of accidents and loss of life at dangerous crossings on railroads ever put into use. This gate requires no watchman or operator, does not forget or become intoxicated or go to sleep but is always on the job. It is a sleepless guard that gives warning of an approaching train by night or day. Conductor Harry Williams and Brakeman W.O. Powers, both of this city, were killed, probably instantly, as the result of a rear-end collision two and a half miles east of Ulm, on the Great Northern railroad yesterday morning. The bodies of the victims were horribly burned in a fire which started in the wreckage. No other member of the either train crew was injured. The trains were traveling toward this city in the teeth of a snowstorm almost a gale. Extra 1838, an ore train making only moderate time, was hit by 1090, making at least 20 miles an hour when it crashed into the forward train. For the manufacture and sale of "Slater's common sense pants hanger and suit presser," articles of incorporation were filed in the county recorder's office yesterday by Charles E. Slater, Stephen D. Mitchell and W.H. Mitchell. The firm will be known as the Slater-Mitchell Manufacturing Co. and will have its head offices at Power. When the fire department yesterday morning arrived at 2209 Seventh avenue north, the home of Mr. and Mrs. Matt Antonich was enveloped in flames which had been fanned by a strong draught when the front door and a window had been forced by neighbors to carry out three babies who were peacefully sleeping at the time. The house was gutted by the flames in spite of the prompt and efficient work of the department, and the loss to the house was estimated at $400. PEKING - Yuan Shi Kai was inducted into office today as first president of the Chinese republic. The ceremony of inauguration was surrounded with oriental brilliancy. It was attended by throngs of distinguished Chinese and foreign officials, diplomats and military officers and took place in the interior of the Tai-Ho palace in which many of Ming and Ching emperors had been crowned.
