Russ Confess
Tittle Ruhr'
Plans Flop
BERLIN (JP) The Russians con
fessed publicly Sunday their ef
forts to build a "little Ruhr" on
the German-Polish border have
flopped. They blamed it on East
German bureaucracy.
The Soviet Army's official East
German newspaper, Taegliche
Rundschau, adminstered a public
spanking directed at Fritz Selb
mann, Communist minister for
heavy industry. The paper hinted
some drastic action would be tak
en.
apecmcauy seiomann was
blamed for failing to get the much
touted steel works at Fuersten-berg-on-the-Oder
into production.
It was the first time the Com
munists had acknowledged ' that
"Combinat OST," designed to
compete with West Germany's
Ruhr, had fizzled.
The Russian editors of Runds
chau said the first big oven of the
steel plant was put in service Oct.
5 and the second Dec. 28, but that
not one ton of finished steel has
been produced.
Two ventilators, necessary to
the operation, exploded soon after
installation. There was no talk of
sabotage.

Surgeon Opens
Man's Chest to
Revive Heart
ATLANTA (P) A man whose
heart stopped beating during a
routine examination was revived
by a quick-thinking surgeon who
hastily opened the patient's, chest
and massaged his heart back into
action.
Edwin 6. Peel, superintendent
of Georgia Baptist Hospital, de
scribed the operation Sunday. He
said the patient, Howard S. Walk
er, a 47-year-old oil company em
ploye, was undergoing a routine
examination of his brachial tubes
when his heart stopped beating
for 2Vz minutes.
The man's condition is good and
he will probably bo discharged
from the hospital Monday, Peel
added.
"This happened about three
weeks ago," the superintendent
reported, "but we waited until
now to announce it because we
wanted to be certain Mr. Walker
would recover.'
Although several cases of re
vival by massage have been re
ported, Peel said they were usu
ally during surgical operations.
Walker's case was "even more re
markable" because no prepara
tion for surgery had been made.

To. Reconsider
PW Exchange
MUNSAN, Korea () The
United Nations Command offered
Sunday to reconsider an important
phase of its armistice prisoner ex
change demands if the Communists
would say how many civilians they
intend to return to South Korea. .
The Communists reacted warily,
but did not flatly reject it. They
have agreed previously to the prin
ciple of repatriating civilians, but
not as part of ah exchange of war
prisoners.
Negotiators were scheduled to
discuss the exchange and the
stalled truce supervision terms
again Monday.
Rear Adm. R. E. Libby, speak
ing for the U. N. Command, stirred
some life in the truce' talks with
his reconsideration offer Sunday.
In effect, the U. N. Command
would drop its demand for an
equal, one-for-one exchange of
Red prisoners for displaced civil
ians in North Korea provided
all civilians who wanted to return
hom were allowed to.

Ghostly Invasion of British
Prefab Laid to Bad Plumbing
BRISTOL, Eng. (P)-An official board of inquiry ruled Sunday
that no new-type ghost has invaded Britain. The trouble, it con
cluded, was lust that same old bueaboo bad British plumbing.
The board, consisting of three
called in a clergyman ana a piumDer ana mvesugaiea an upstart
sort of ghost who was supposed to be haunting a prefabricated hut.
Mrs. Dora Hawkins, occupant oi
the hut in one of Bristol's tem
oorary housing developments,
complained of queer goings on
the bread-knife kept disappearing,
the toilet flushed itself and there
were ghostly noises and tippings
through the night.
It was most upsetting to those
who believe British ghosts to be a
well-ordered species which rare
ly wander from traditional haunts
in the stately homes or England.
So the investigators planned an
official check first by the plumb
er, then a full ritual of "exorcis
ing the ghost" from its reputed
haunt in an ordinary hut.
But it wasn't necessary to ex
orcise: The plumber found the
"ghostly feet in the night" Just
bubbling water in the pipes; the
self-flushing toilet due to a sticky
valve.
The "table Tappings," came from
some loose metal panels on the
hut and the "things to go bump in
the night" were just metal plumb
ing fittings expanding and con
tracting in the changing tempera
ture. . ,
And as for that wandering
bread-knife, the investigators said
Mrs. Hawkins' two-year-old
"probably can explain this."
Mrs. Hawkins, who had moved
to her mother's house, said she
was unimpressed. "The place is
haunted," she said flatly. "I'm not
going back."
The Bristol town fathers said
20 other families already had ap
plied for the hut.

Small Japan ,
Pension Brings
Angry Cries
TOKYO (JP) Cries of angry
disappointment drowned out Jap
anese officials Sunday when they
tried to explain the government's
first, and admittedly meagre,
war pension plan to the Japanese
League of Bereaved Families.
About 800 league members,
representing 8,000,000 immediate
relatives of nearly 2,000,000 war
read, attended the meeting in
Hosei University hall.
One old man whose son died in
World War II brandished a me
dieval spear and threatened to
use it on Premier Shigeru Yo
shida, who was not present.
Later, about 200 of the dele
gates went 30 miles to Yoshida's
country place at Oiso and sat
down outside his gate for several
hours, but Yoshida did not ap
pear. The war pension issue has rais
ed a storm in the government and
in the dominant Liberal Party.
Under the program, a war wid
ow would get the yen equivalent
of $1.65 a month, while the top
payment to a totally disabled vet
eran would be the equivalent of
$150 a year.
When it was being discussed re
cently. Finance Minister Hayato
Ikeda remarked that it was
"barely sufficient for bereaved
families to buy candles for the
altar."

New Hormone
To Increase
Sheep Ureedin
g
By ALTON L. BLAKESLEK
A-t science Reporter
KALAMAZOO, Mich. VP) A
new sex hormone to make animals
fertile and more productive was
announced Sunday by the Upjohn
Company. S
The hormone is ECP, meaning
estradiol cyclopentylpropionate.
It might help double the nation's
lamb crop, by making ewes have
lambs twice a year instead oi only
once, said Dr. J. L. Davidson, head
of the firm's department of vet
erinary medicine.
Ewes become fertile, in heat and
able to conceive, usually only in
the fan or winter. The hormone
has made "some ewes fertile in the
spring and summer, and many of
these bore lambs, Davidson said.
The tests were made in Tennes
see and Alabama.
Doubling the lamb crop by in
ducing two breedings a year has
long been a goal in agriculture.
More than a year ago,: Armour
and Company of Chicago reported
some success in getting ; ewes to
breed twice a year by using a sex
hormone, gonadotrophin.s These
experiments have continued.
Davidson said ECP also has
overcome temporary sterility in
cows, and that there is evidence It
can often overcome barren ess in
sows, or speed up the time when
sows can be bred again. Sterility
in cows and pigs costs farmers
and consumers millions of dollars
a year.
The hormone also has worked
well in trials on beef cattlej horses,
and dogs, Dr. Davidson said.
