HAWAII — Geologists warn
a fiery volcano that destroyed
six structures in a lava flow late
last week could erupt again at
any time.
Wary residents of the Royal
Gardens subdivision below the
Kilauea Volcano settled back af
ter lava spouting ended early
Saturday.
A U.S. Geological Survey
spokeswoman said even though
the harmonic tremor under
ground was at it lowest level in
months, scientists could not yet
say with certainty the eruptive
activity was over.
A 4-mile tongue of lava
poured through the sparsely
populated residential subdivi
sion and covered some struc
tures under a 30-foot thick
blanket of molten rock late Fri
day. Others were burned by
fires touched off by the red-hot
flow.
The front of the lava flow had
ground to a near halt by Sunday,

NEW YORK — The movie
“King Kong” has officially
turned 50, but it’s the film’s star
who is showing his age.
An attempt to re-create
Kong’s memorable celluloid mo
ment atop the Empire State
Building has met with some of
the hazards of the real world —
accidents, human error and
plain old bad weather.
Workers have been trying for
a week to inflate an 84-foot bal
loon of Kong’s likeness atop the
102-story skyscraper, but so far
they’ve only been able to hook
the thing to the top of the struc
ture.
“The weather is really to
blame for most of the stuff that
went wrong,” said a downcast
Ruth Sarfaty, publicist for the
project. “He was as close as close
could be and then the weather
got miserable.”
The project has involved
hours of tugging, repairing, un
tangling, inflating and deflating
by a crew of 25 indefatigable
workers.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Presi
dent Harry S. Truman — pic
tured by history as a progressive
thinker — confided racial pre
judices as a young man in letters
to his future wife.
In a letter he wrote on June
22, 1911 proposing to Bess Wal
lace, the 27-year-old Truman
said:
“I think one man is just as
good as another so long as he’s
honest and decent and not a nig
ger or a Chinaman. The Lord
made a white man from dust, a
nigger from mud, then he threw
up what was left and it came
down u Chinaman.
“He does hate Chinese and
Japs. So do I. It is a race pre
judice, I guess. But I am strongly
of the opinion negroes (sic)
ought to be in Africa, yellow
men in Asia and white men in
Europe and America.”
Such slurs are scattered
through 1,400 letters Truman
wrote to his wife and daughter.
Truman’s views moderated
over the years and by 1940, he
was boldly supporting civil
rights legislation.
