In the headlines tonight is the story of the first landing on Mars. The pilot, Dave Minnich and co-pilot Richard Henley reported only minor darn age to the ship during the landing. The damage was the result of Dave Minnich's quick stop which sent Richard hurling through the windshield. Also in the headlines is oil tycoon Paul Bower who discovered uranium while drilling for oil at the South Pole, He is in doubt what to do with his radioactive ice cubes. ln Bluffton, Indiana, the National Guard was called in to protect the members of the draft board from thousands of rioting women protesting the drafting of rock 'n roll singer, Vaughn Betts. ln Hollywood the oscars for the most outstanding actor and actress went to Dave Meshberger for his leading role as a canine in the Shagless Dog and the other award went to Sharon John- son for her leading role in The Last of The Original Girls. The most outstanding actress in a supporting role was Connie Harsh- man for her lead in Little Orphan Annie Meets Frankenstein 's Monster. Now we turn to the world of sports where olympic swimmer Margaret Alberson, has the headlines. She has become the first woman to swim the Atlantic Ocean both ways nonstop! This modest girl, a 1959 graduate of Petroleum, Indiana attributed most of her success to the fact that the waters were shark in- fested. Also, in the sports world Ted Williams, heavyweight boxer of the world, caused quite a commotion before a capacity crowd at Madison Square Garden, when he appeared for a world champion- ship match minus one pair of trunks. The match was held up a few minutes while a few provisions were made. His challenger was a former classmate of his, Gale Schooley. The match ended up a double knockout in 14 seconds of the first round. Another item in the news is the marriage of Emma Lewis, president of Slenderella, to Darol Myers, executive vice-president of Playtex Girdles. There's one woman who won't sue her hus- band for lack of support! A final note in the sports world is that jockey and horse owner Duke Ramseyer, has decided to enter his speedy pony in the Ken- tucky Derby.
