Space age speculation and royal wedding notes mix in news brief
Retired Air Force general Barry Goldwater says he believes Earth has been visited by aliens despite not seeing one. In Pittsburgh, Mellon heiress Cordelia Scaife May reportedly married Dist. Atty. Robert W. Duggan, but confirmation was not given. Pearl Bailey’s doctor says her Las Vegas collapse was exhaustion, not heart attack, with Wayne Newton subbing for her act. In Iowa, Reuben Hansen narrowly won the mayoralty over his son in a family election. A convicted burglar won election as constable in Trainer, Pennsylvania, while Buckingham Palace confirms Captain Mark Phillips will be a commoner at Princess Anne’s wedding. The guest list for the ceremony provokes diplomatic curiosity, with Americans possibly invited only as personal friends.
