Plea to Raise Funds for USS Arizona Memorial Lags
A plea by Charles Bernard urges funding to complete a $500000 memorial for the USS Arizona at Pearl Harbor. He notes the site remains a rusted wreck with 1100 sailors entombed, and calls for national support after 19 years since the attack.

Christmas tree quality may dip despite similar choice and price
An Associated Press survey finds Americans will have about the same number of Christmas trees to choose from and similar prices as last year. Quality may be down slightly due to last year’s heavy cut. Prices for a 5 to 6 foot balsam may run three to five dollars. Scotch pines gain popularity and may fetch higher prices amid tighter competition. Artificial trees impact disputed by AFPI officials, while wholesale orders fall about 20 percent from 1959.
