MaroM Marches, Betnei Baptist caurcn; io.t Sign OfL Voices of Notables Provide Sound for 2 C"ByW.CLKOGEKS i Associated Press Arts Editor NEW YORK (A-On Jan. 30, 952, two youngsters fresh out of Hunter College .tried to push their way backstage in a local auditorium to talk to the lecturer, the Welsh poet Dylan Thomas. Lite all celebrities, he was guarded by difficult ushers, so licitous officials and friends, and locked doors. So the girls couldnt crash all this interference but they got a note to him and he sent back his phone number. They lunched with him, he di rected them to his agent, and ther sirned their first contract to record the. voice of a literary light - It was the start of one of the liveliest and most exciting new businesses in the field of culture. Since then, the girls, Barbara Cohen and Marianne Roney, have recorded, on 12-inch LPs, E. E. Cummings, Sean O'Casey, W. H. Auden, Eudora Welty, Ogden Nash, Katherine Anne Porter, Archibald HacLeish, Tennessee Williams, Thomas Mann in Ger man; Colette in French, and others. Still many others are signed up for future recordings. So it s a record business but it isht music; and it's literary business but it isnt books. A book has just been added. however, "Wrack at Townsend" by Sir Osbert SitwelJ, to accom pany Sitwell g disk of readings from it and other poems: the fledgling company, v which calls itself Caedmon Publishers, plans other combinations of this sort Not Married The girls are unmarried. they're 23, they're good-looking, hey work like beavers. They Occupy a room and a half in a Fourth Avenue office building. There's space for two desks, which are buried under papers: or several chairs, on which rec ords are piled high; for a divan. which is covered with packing. They do it all themselves, from barging in on unapproachable celebrities to trundling their ship ments in a two-wheeled cart along the sidewalks to the Post Office. Jills of all trades, they record on tape, and arrange to have the records made; they write .album notes, design covers for the cardboard holders and have them printed; they sell, package and ship. When they began, they put on airs. "This is the secretary." Miss Cohen would say over the phone, trying to cover up the ack of a staff, or not knowing the answer and so trying to cover up for Miss Cohen herself. But one day she was caught at it and now they admit they're artists, packers, salesmen, bookkeepers and the whole she-bang. Phi Beta Kappas When they were graduated from college, both of them Phi Beta Kappas, and friends since a Greek class they attended to gether, Miss Cohen got a job with a small publisher, Miss Roney with a small record company. Meeting for lunch, they'd bemoan their dull jobs and uninteresting lives and wonder why they couldn't think up something to do that they'd like to do. They used an tneir si,:hx savings to make their first two records. In a year they produced 25,000 disks; for about a year an da half, the total is 50,000. Ready with their first saleable disks, they sat down at their phones and canvassed book and music stores all around town and thus took their first orders. Now they're so thriving they won't bother to sell disks singly. Rec ords cost little more to make in small lots than in large, so they don t tie up capital which the girls don't have in large stocks. They own their recording equipment and record usually in a local studio, though Miss Roney went to Massachusetts for Mac- Leish's voice, and to California for Mann's. Generally the writer gives them several times as much material as will squeeze on one disk and . they make their own selections. In mid-November. 1953 the U, S.

The object is to create power ful "stench agents" to serve as fire alarms in British mines. y Minister of Fuel and Power, Geoffrey Lloyd, disclosed in the House of Commons that pit trials have already taken place. ! "The idea," he said, "appears essentially sound, but the method proposed, is distinctly novel The idea is that overheating machin ery would melt a capsule and this releases a powerful smell which would be wafted forward on the sir and warn miners of the dan ger." i Amid laughter Lloyd revealed that the scientists "have already devised two exceedingly foul smelling chemicals. One smells overwhelmingly of garlic, and the other of garlic and skunk as well. "These," added Lloyd, "have both been successfully smelt by the experimenters a mile away." ! The minister indicated that further trials would be held and promised the House a detailed report in about three months. Other scientists are engaged in research on the sense of smelL Dr. E. A. Adrian, Master of Trinity College, Cambridge, and a leading world authority on the brain and . nervous system, dis closed in his presidential address to the Royal Society that he had been trying for years to find out bow much the, nose enables hu mans to distinguish an immense variety of molecules brought to it in the air.

(INS) Wayne Decker, a University of Missouri clknatologist, is going to begin a five-year project next spring to determine if itjis pos sible and practical to produce rain through seeding of clouds. This is the first research pro ject of this nature undertaken by an experiment station, reports Dean J. H. Longwell of the Mis souri College of Agriculture, "to obtain comparative relationships for determining if seeding clouds will actually produce more rairu." He explained that the Missouri Experiment Station will take mea surements xin a multi - hundred-square-mile area for comparison of rainfall in regions seeded with the rain-producing agent to rain fall in unseeded districts, Longwell said the project will be conducted in southern Mis souri with several volunteer rain gauge checkers being pressed into service for the purpose of taking rainfall measurements in the area under observation. He noted that careful weather observations will be made to de termine when conditions .; are best suited for cloud seeding! Clouds that have been seeded will be tra ced and the distribution of the seeding agent measured ! through air samples collected by airplane. Then, he continued, the rain- fill in the seeded regions will be ehecked against rainfall in areas not affected by the seeded agent Home Organ NEW YORK (INS) The home organ industry, one of-the na tion's biggest prior to the Civil War, is booming again; on the American scene. ' 1 . The industry has been expand ing rapidly since the f end of World War II. Retail sales this year will be about $35,000,000 and will probably top $50,000,000 in 1954. I Burton MinshalL president of an organ company, predicts that home organ sales will triple with in the next decade. Minshall attributes the rapid growth of the home organ in dustry to the electrification of the organ. He explained that as a result of new electronic de velopments, which eliminate the use of the old fashioned reeds and moving parts, the home or gan today is a compact piece of furniture designed to fit into the decor of any home. one smell from another depended more on the region stimulated than to the particular cells. As a result of his ; research, however, he now believes that, in spite of their aparent similarity, there is a wide variety of cells sensitive to different f kinds of smells. Proj Sales Booming Electronics Replace Navy's Courtroom; Stenographers NEWPORT, R. I. (INS) Elec tronics have invaded Uncle Sam's Navy court rooms. It's a far cry from ! the days when the Navy was phoneless, motorless and devoid of electri cally controlled gadgets; but time has wrought rrnnv ch"nes since the days of John Paul Jones. All departments in ;the Navy have succumbed to the changes dictated r6y science -and now comes the court martial system. It has finally yielded to the new order. Electronics have stepped in to take the places j of steno graphers. At the Naval Base in Newport, R. I., a School of Justice is being operated to train men jn the art of using an electronic! reporting machine. They are to report court martial proceedings and to make them really efficient they not only are taught how to operate the machines, but also how to transcribe the testimony for the official records and on top of this they are taught the important les son of how court martials are con ducted. Simply Worked j It's a unique school with classes limited to 32. And this group is divided into groups of 16. When One is attendting a Session de voted to lessons concerning the use of the face mask iof the re porting device the other group is mastering the art of transcrib ing1 notes on typewriters. Men who enter the classes must have a basic training in the use ,of typewriters. How does the new electronic reporting device work? Very simply and accurately. For example take fan actual: court scene at the school. . Members of the court take their seats and in front of them sits the man who- operates the recording device. In this instance it is Chief Yeoman James Gar ner. The accused sits at the left with his counsel, an officer and on the opposite side it the prose cutor, also an, officer. Proceedings begin and are carefully recorded but! instead of a stenographer taking -notes Yoe man Garner speaks into a face mask. - -., ; ', j Garner repeats every 'v word spoken and his words are record-, ed on the 'discs in front of him. As Garner speaks his voice is not audible to others - in . the court. He speaks as he exhales and to breathe he pushes a button which stops tha retording. Then ' ! ' i-.., i - I (- ' ; Survivors of Calamity Used Research PESHTIGO, Wise. (tNS The little town p Peshtigo, Wise, is working overtime to correct a historical oversight more-or-Iess caused by the great Chicago' fire of Oct 8, 1871. i A combination timber fire and tornado destroyed Peshtigo. Eight hundred persons died in the dis aster which historians have called the most tragic blaze in the na tion's history '. But while Peshtigo turned to ashes Chicagb burned the same night with great j property loss and comparatively little loss of life. I Chicago, the rising metropolis of the "West," took the fame. Peshtigo buried its dead. Now Peshtigo businessmen and the Marinette County historical society are amassing history from 45 old men and women living to day who survived the calamity that wiped out half the town's population. ! ! ' Research determined the torna do formed about 8:30 pjn. as men prepared to fight small timber fire just ' outside of town. The tornado whipped the fire into an inferno and then drove the flames through the town. Peshtigo, a boom town,! burned down in 20 minutes. Great sheets of flame rolled forward giving the appearance that the air itself was afire. Some 65 persons ran into a boarding house for shelter; they all per ished within seconds as the struc ture blossomed red and collapsed like a match; box. Hundreds ran frantically for the Peshtigo River to escape the onrushing wall of fire. A young husband went , mad when he learned the; woman he'd carried to safety wasn't his wife the smoke obscured everything, . Another man pushed his bed ridden wife to the river; in a wagon. He wheeled her into the water and; was enveloped in flames before he could plunge into the river himself. Dozens of persons, cut off from escape, committed suicide rather than be roasted alive. A few dug holes in the newly-plowed land and escaped death. 1 A dawn rain finally ended the holocaust. 'Rescuers arriving on the scene could outline the streets only by following a trail of iron wagon wheels. : A looter was found and sentenced to hang on the spot but a. rope couldn't be found to hang him with. ' Miraculously, the only structure spared was a shed where a woman was giving birth to a child. PLAIN DENIAL I RALEIGH, N, C. INS)-A pe tition for a writ of habeas corpus was filed by an inmate of central prison in Raleigh because ; he ob ected to the way he was described in a newspaper article. Referring to the article, which described him as a "violent person" con vict Bill E. Holmes wrote; "That this is harmful to my name and chances to make a place in the outside world is plain to see." His petition was denied by Su perior Court he tilts his mask upward which allows air to enter near his chin. So far as the record is con cerned there are no break! on the recorded transcript and . tran scripts will be accurate because no man will be permitted t& grad uate from the school until he is thoroughly qualified. After completing the record of the session the man who has used the face mask goes to another room. Played Back And the court martial proceed ings are played back. The opera tor hears his own voice through the light wires clipped to his ears much in the manner of a doctor's stethescope. The court j martial proceedings are transcribed on typewriters. s! Students dictate into the face mask device at a rate of 250 and 300 words a minute and tran scribe the' recordings as fast as 80 words a minute. j The face mask is handled easily and causes no discomfort An operator holds it in his right hand to keep it in position and this leaves his left hand to regulate the movements of the disc. Will this new face mask; record ing system cause hardships for today's conventional stenograph ers and will it cost them their jobs? ! f Members of j the class in the School of Justice say that steno graphers, even veteran court stenographers need not fear. They av tiisf It iff timnlv TAafA f . . . 1 .0 I .... 1 KJ ... H . .

Floyd- Gib bons mea - a long time as news- papering goes and the non pareil globetrotter! and mile-a- minute radio commentator has become only a dim legend to an entire generation of readers and listeners, j 'I To rectify this situation. Gib bon's younger , brother Edward, has written a comprehensive bio graphy, "Floyd Gibbons, Your Headline Hunter,"; (Exposition Press, Inc., $4) which takes its readers into the Gibbons family circle and tells Floyd s story from childhood to his untimely death at the age of 52. ; t Although : not a professional writer, Edward Gibbons more than compensates for the book's technical shortcomings by relat ing a wealth of intimate personal detail from the obviously proud anlaffectionate standpoint of one who was variously secretary, confident and friend as well as blood relation. War Vet I ' Floyd Gibbons, in 25 'years as a correspondent for the j Chicago Tribune and International News Service, covered nine wars from the Villa-Carranza affair in Mex ico in 1915 through the Spanish Revolution in 1936. i It has often been said that Gib bons didn't have to look! for wars and disasters that they sought him out- Actually; he never let personal safety interfere with what he considered might be a good story. I In line of duty or: what he considered his duty -J he was torpedoed by a World War I Ger man submarine, lost an eye at Belleau Wood and survived a plane crash and a variey ' of dis eases. ' One of his earliest and most thrilling news "beats" was scored in February, 1917, when he was assigned to cover; World War I. Brother Edward writes:; "He was instructed to obtain passage on the S.S. Frederick VIII the same ship the discred ited German ambassador to the United Ctates, Count Von Bern- storf f, was returning to Germany on, and which had been assured safe passage by the Allies. "Knowing that the Germans wouldn't sink the boat carrying their own ambassador,; Floyd in quired around New York about the. first available boat; sailing in defiance of the German ultimat um of February 1, 1917, to the effect that that nation would sink all passenger and cargo ships within a Certain defined area of the Atlantic Ocean . . The first such scheduled to sail was the S.S. Laconia, a Cunard passenger liner. !

Dr Gilbert says the reason is that j doctors have learned that there! just isn't any better place for feeding a baby than in a rock ing chair. He says the theory behind the rocker idea is simply that a baby likes! to be held and rocked while it is! being fed--so why not be comfortable about it Says the health officer: "Certainly there has not to my knowledge, been anything in vented so far which could poss ibly surpass the rocking chair in making a baby forget all about struggle and conflict "This piece of furniture also fits admirably into the modern theory that a baby gets lonesome, just fas you and I, and therefore craves human companionship." -1 WATER PROBLEM TOUGH BAGHDAD 0P) Oil-rich but water-poor Kuwait is asking for water from the Shat al Arab river at Basra to be carried by a pipe line 90 miles to the sheikdom's capital.
