By Edward S. Kitch
CHICAGO. Jvine MP)-Micki
Williams soon may have thousands
of babies jumping.
For what was n temporary ex
pedient three years ago now has
grown into a going business. It
all started simply when Mickl fix
ed a diaper sling One day and sus
pended it from a string attached
to a doorway, to; amuse her twin
baby niece. Another was . con
structed with a belt from her dress.
It held the second twin in a door
way across the room.
Soon both were jumping and
enjoying the exercise. They were
contented and safe.
After the first- models of the'
baby sling were shown to friends,
orders began to come in for more.
Micki and 'altfipplied for a pa
tent pnd manufacturing began.
Since lat November, they have
marketed over 6,000 of the baby
exercisers. The. couple demon
strates the invention in department
"store throughout, the country.
Called a "Johnriy Jump Up." the
unit is adjusted so that the child's
feet just touch the floor. It can be
used from the time the baby is
three months old tintil it can walk.
Floods Recede
In Colorado,
West Kansas
LAMAR. Colo., June 5 P)
Floodwaters were receding1 in
eastern and central Colorado and
western Kansas this afternoon, but
thousands ofacres remained inun
dated and transportation was
blocked at some points.
In the Lamar, Colo., area, where
7.28 inches of rain fell, between
Saturday morning and today, the
Arkansas river, which crested at
noon, was again flowing inside its
banks by late afternoon.
The highway departrftent said
however, that the big coast-to-coat
road. U.S. .50. was covered
with water in so many places that
it was not certain when traffic
would resume its flow. The flood
waters also blocked rail travel n
the region, washing out section
of track from 50 to 60 feet in length
along the Santa Fe lines' road
beds. Railroad officials said they
hoped to have the track patched
up by late tonight) The eatbound
Cajiforhia Limited, a streamliner,
was halted at Cdolidge, Kas., last
night. !

the Kaaas-Colorado state line, a
break in the dikes along wild Hote
Creek flooded one-half of the re

Red German
Police Conduct !
'Sham Battle'
$y Daniel De Luce
BERLIN'. June 5 -((")- Soviet
zone people's police engaged in a
three-day sham battle under Rus
sian army supervision last week,
the British - licensed Sozialdemo
krat reported today.
The Socialist newspaper previ
ously hss charged that Russia or
ganizing a police army exceeding
500,000 Germans in her zone for
the purpose of conquering the en
tire feifh for communism in the
event western Germans are left
on their own. ,
The American military govern
ment recently estimated this force
at about 80,000 but discounted Its,
military; effectiveness. . An Amer-J
ican intelligence officer said today
he had po information confirming
or refuting Sozialdemokrat s re
port of! the maneuvers.
The rjewspaper said 24 Russian
tanks and a number of fighter
planes participated in the rftfneu
vers at (Dderberg, 28 miles north
east of Berlin.
Use German Generals
It asserted that a soviet colonel
named jSmirnov exercised field i
command over the police exercise
and that several former German
army gejnerals who hold ligh po
lice posts attended.
The rjolice used mortars. light
field artillery, anti-aircraft and
anti-tank guns in mock attacks
on dumrpy strong points, and em
ployed sitorm bbats In crossing a
small lake, the newspaper added.
It quoted a police general as
declaring, "our police are destined
to achieve again the unity of Ger
many." No Sims of Settlement
The biter railway tieup showed
no signs jof -settlement In its 16th
day. Th4 soviet army newspaper
Tseclich Rundschau admitted the
strike . wjjs costly and reiterated
the argument of Alexander Koti
kov. soviet sector commander, that
the only obstacle to resumption of
raihvav service was the occupa
tion of west Berlin stations by al-lied-contr!olled
police and strik
ers. I
So far there has been no reaction
from the fovjet-controlfed railway
administration to the proposal of
the strikiie non-communist trade
union (TOO) that the administra
tion split 'itsejf into two business
offices, east and west, one to deal
in west marks with the hon-com-munist
union, the other to con
tinue on n east-mark basis and
bargaining with the communist
free German trade union.
The fight hinges on the demand
of the nonicommunists for official
recognition! of' their union by the
communistmanaged Reichshahn.

believed to have been adopted by
