Mrs Hodges of Sylacauga Alabama recalls the Nov 30 1954 meteorite that pierced her roof injuring her hip and forcing her from home. She says crowds of tourists came to gaze at the rock and she fears they will not let her return home.
James J. Haranzo, defeated in Wheeling city election by 24 votes in the 4th Ward, plans a formal recount after an official canvass. Incumbent Jack Adams, also a Democratic member of the House of Delegates, led with 7,247 to Haranzo's 7,223 in unofficial returns.
A legal suit to decide ownership of a meteorite dragged, with Mrs. Hodges and her ex landlady Birdie Guy in dispute. The case, originally set for June 13, moved to late August trial. Hodges claims rights to the rock, saying it landed on her property and hurt her health while she received thousands of letters from around the world asking about the rock.
