of any responsibility for the trage
dy, one of the worst peacetime
disasters in U. S. naval history.
Commander Tierney of Phila
delphia, the only person blamed
in the incident, went down will'
his shiD and a Navy spokesman
said the court's findings probably
would end the case. The court (aid
the reasons for Tierney's actions
will never be known.

midnight April 26 while the 32.WO-
ton Wasp and the 1,700-ton Hobson

defply gratified at his proffer of
full cooperation in the campaign."
Truman said:
"Our conference was very sat
isfactory from my viewpoint. We
are both happy and satisfied that
the meeting took place."

Adventists Ask Free
Saturday Parking

can't get religion while you're
worrying about feeding a parking
meter, the Springfield City Council

from parking tickets for his par
ishioners during services. The
council referred the matter to its
police committee.
Red Light Over Nest
Spurs Egg Production
STORRS, Conn. 11 Put a red
light over your hen nests, and
watch the eggs roll in.
That's the advice of C. S. Piatt,
Rutgers University egg expert.
Piatt, in a paper for the 41st
annual meeting of the National
Poultry Association at the Univer
sity of Connecticut, told how New
Jersey poultry raisers did it dur
ing the war.
Air raid regulations blacked out
the brilliantly lighted poultry hous
es along the Jersey Coast, he said,
so farmers turned on the dim red
lights to let them see.
The red light had a tendency to
keep the hens longer on the nests.
F.gg production rose, and since
then, experiments have confirmed
the red light's effect on hens.
