Cat Survives
900 Degrees
For 3 6 Hours
Minerva, O., March 9 W) An
ordinary calico cat which em
erged singed, thirsty but alive
after 36 hours in a fiery kiln
was an object of scientific inter
est today.
Dr. William Orr, the veterin
arian in this Stark-Carroll coun
ty village, exclaimed, "It's a
strange case that wouldn't hap
pen again in 100 years. The ani
mal's (foot) pads were burned
off, the top of its skull was
scorched, the end of its nose was
eharred and its body was burn
ed as dry as a cracker when it
was brought to me."
Dr. Orr pumped food into the
baked puss's veins after putting
the cat under sedatives. Today
it was jumping into his lap to
be fed.
The cat was sealed accident
ally in a kiln at the Metropolitan
Brick Co. plant here Friday
night. Temperature in the. oven
reached up to BOO degrees fah
renheit. When the kiln was op
ened Sunday, the durable feline
tottered out before the aston
ished eyes of workers.
The veterinarian said h.e in
vestigated the case carefully yes
terday with plant superinten
dent Joe Bucola and both agreed
that any other explanation was
out of the question the ani
mal had stood the heat for a
day and a half and had sur
vived. Bucola said no part of the
kiln could have had a tempera
ture of less than 400 degrees.
Workmen doubted if the cat
could have found a place cooler
than 600 degrees.
"It's fantastic but true," Dr.
Orr declared, "I intend to write
to the American Veterinarian
Medical association to find out
if here arc any records of sim
ilar occurrences."

AIR-LINES HEARING
Post Office Favors Salem
Service by West Coast, UAL
Washington, March 9 u.R A postoffice department attorney
said Tuesday the department feels that mail service by the West
Coast Airlines company north from Seattle is "useless."
He said the department also sees no need for West Coast
service to Klamath Falls, Ore.
Louis J. Doyle, attorney in
the solicitor's office of the de
partment, said the department
will take that position in civil
aeronautics board hearings, to
be resumed here March 27.
The hearings are on West
Coast's application for perman
ent authority to serve Pacific
coast points and the application
of United Air Lines to serve
some of. the same points.
Doyle said the department
wants UAL to continue air mail
service to Salem, Ore., and has
no objection to West Coast also
serving Oregon's capital. At
present, West Coast does not
serve Salem.
He said the department con
siders the southern portion of
West Coast's routes from Se
attle south into Oregon is
fairly useful' 'to the depart
ment.
But, Doyle said, the depart
ment feels that UAL service at
Bellingham, Wash., north of Se
attle, is sufficient and that West
Coast service to intermediate
points as well is not needed.

Oleo Bill on
Truman's Desk
Washington, March 9 (Pi
Only President Truman's appro
val is needed now to repeal all
federal taxes on oleomargarine,
effective July 1.
Lawmakers generally predict
ed that Mr. Truman will sign
the repeal bill which congress
sent to the White house late yes-terday.
The senate approved the mea
sure then by a 59 to 20 vote. It
passed the house Tuesday, 262
to 106.
Provisions put into the bill by
dairy state lawmakers who want
to prevent oleomargarine from
being passed off as butter call
for:
1. The serving of oleomarga
rine in triangular patties in pub
lic eating places or, signs iden
tifying the product as marga
rine.
2. In the case of retail sales,
distinct labelling of the outer
carton and inner wrapper as
containing oleomargarine.
Senator Wiley (R-Wis) waged
a last ditch fight against pass
age of the bill, just as some
house members from dairy states
did Tuesday.
But on senate passage, 87 de
mocrats and 22 republicans lin
ed up for the bill. The list in
cluded some senators from butter-producing
states who appar
ently are satisfied with the la
beling requirements written into
the measure. Senator Aiken (R
Vt), for example, said they sat
isfy him.
The final bill was a compro
mise measure worked out by a
senate-house conference commit
tee. For one thing, that group
knocked out a provision of the
senate bill which would have re
quired oleomargarine sold at re
tail to be put up in triangular
forms.
