Not Dead Refund Request Sparks Postal Confusion
A New Mexico resident insisted he is alive after a refund check was misrouted to his deceased mother who sent it back. He wrote officials denying death and demanding his refund, while a police drunkometer test controversy in Oklahoma City led to a demotion for demonstrator Huel Hamm. Nearby in Dallas, Rip Van Winkle and Bob Stocats both faced sudden parental news and a hospital stay. In Riverhead, a 20-year-old driver received three tickets after a chaotic maiden drive, including U turns on a neighbor’s lawn and a crash into a house.

Wilson Seeks U S Edge on Russians in Military Push
Washington Secretary of Defense Wilson says the United States has gained on the Russians in relative military strength since 1953 despite manpower cuts. He outlined a 100000 man reduction to 2600000 by next June 30 and hinted at more cuts. The moves aim to save about one billion dollars while maintaining overseas deployments. Wilson also plans to trim civilian defense payroll by 35000 to 40000, with President Eisenhower backing the cutbacks. He downplayed a Russian claim of a successful Soviet ICBM test, saying the report is likely true but vague on specifics.
