PAGE EIGHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, MONDAY, AUGUST 3, 1942. TO HANDLE PETS DURING AIR RAID Cornell Vets Suggest Good Supply Of Aspirin For Sedative Kept On Hand Ithaca, N. Y. WP) Want to keep your cat or dog quiet dur ing an air raid? Then have a good supply of aspirin on hand. This advice Is given by two investigators at Cornell Univer sity's State Veterinary College in a report on the correct care of animals during enemy attack. Dr. Jean Mackerley and Joseph Kane, who made the study, em phasized that household pets may become a menace following a bombing, because they may become so crazed with fear they fail to recognize the good inten tions of those trying to help them. In addition to aspirin, sodium bromide was recommended as a good sedative. It can be pur chased from any druggist. For both aspirin and the bromide, the dosage is 2 grains for small dogs, toy breeds and cats; 5 grains for medium-sized dogs; 10-15 grains for the large breeds, such as shepherds and great danes. Protect Hands The veterinarians advised wearing heavy gloves In order to avoid being bitten while hand ling disturbed animals. Some times the easiest way of hand ling a fear-crazed animal is wrapping it in a coat or blanket. "Be sure," they said, "to keep your face away from the ani mal's head." Provision should be made for controlling horses during an emergency in a city, the investi gators reported. For this pur pose, they recommend that a strong web halter and a rope 6 to 12 feet long should be kept on the animal at all times. They emphasized that a horse should never be tied by the reins since those break too easily. Protection lor the barn or stable was also considered. "Nothing," they found, "is ef fective against a direct hit, but fine wire netting over the inside of the windows furnishes some protection from splinters and flying fragments. Chemists are now experimenting with a new substance which may be painted over glass and prevent its shat tering. This is a transpartnet material and may be washed or cleaned like ordinary glass." Animals Safer Outside Farm animals In a target area, they said, are saftcr is dispersed and it is best to keep them in open fields if the weather per mits. Where the stock is kept inside, an attendant should be nearby and exits of the barn should be kept clear at all times. For animals which have been injured during a raid and suffer from shock, the most Important thing is to wrap them warmly and keep them quiet. Milk or water, to which small amounts of corn syrup or sugar have been added, should be offered to the injured animal frequently. The animal should be moved as little as possible.

Mrs. Amy Iti-dharn of 225 N. River sire avenue. Dm MaU Tribuno nut ut Hartford, Conn., Aug. 3 fP) A self-confessed peace-time espionage plotter bent on help ing Germany and Japan obtain U. S. military information, told a federal court Jury here today of one-time Bund leader Ger hard Kunzes familiarity with American military installations and interest in posisble Pacific coast 'arming spots. He was naturalized Dr. Otto Willumeit, 37-year-old president of the Toutonia Publishing com pany of Chicago, himself a Bund official .who like Kunze has pleaded guilty, and was on the stand for the government as a witness against the Rev. Kurt E. B. Molzahn, Philadelphia Luth eran pastor, charged with being a member of the ring. Links Kunte Willumett's testimony, admit ted over strenuous defense ob jections, first linked Molzahn with Kunze by telling how the Bund leader had Informed the Rev. Aleksi Pelypenko. a Uk ranlan priest and countcr-es-age agent in FBI employ, of ar rangements for getting his, Kunze's, passport pictures in Molzahn's hands. Then, testified Willumeit, at a Chicago hotel cocktail lounge meeting between himself, Kunze Pelypenko and others, Kunze said: "Pastor Molzahn would take care of everything." Kunze, it has been testified, was trying to leave the country to forward pre-Pearl Harbor mUitary information to Ger many and Japan. Long Trip Told Willumeit told the Jury of a long trip which he and Kunze took Inst fall through much of the middle-west and west and of Kunze's seemingly endless knowledge of the terrain, of United States military and naval locations and particularly of al iened weaknesses in the defense of the west coast. Although they drove thou sands of miles from Chicago to Seattle and from Seattle to El Paso. Tex., and eventually back to Chicago, Kunze never needed a map to guide the way, said Willumeit. Kunze then bund chieftain, was making his semi annual visit to bund locals and talking with bund sympathlrers. But always, Willumeit told the Jury, Kunze's conversations concerned military affairs, racial groups in the United Stales, arterial highways and United States Industries. 9-Foot Electricians Will Be Employed in Fort Lewis Building Fort Lewis, Aug. 3 OP) Thirty or .forty nine-foot elec tricians will soon be employed in the construction of temporary barracks at the 4th motor base here. The electricians will be equip ped with three-foot stnls, which they will wear throughout their working hours, taking them off only for lunch and when the night whistle blows. The stilts are the idea of Charles McPhail, president ot the Electric Construction com pany of Tacoma, which has elec tric contracts at Fort Lewis and a cantonment at Corvallis, Ore. McPhail explained the aver age electrician has to climb up and down a ladder hundreds of times a day pulling vires thru studding overhead, boring holes and making light c iiinections. In fact, the ladder must be moved every 18 inches of wir ing. With the stilts, the man looks squarely at his work and uses both hands. Time saved amounts to about one-third of the total job. McPhail said he is already employing the nine-foot work men on the cantonment at Cor vallis, Ore., with huge -success. Argentines Find Clue To Gang that Beat Up Writer Waldo Frank Buenos Aires, Aug. 3 (V) Through a hat left in the apart ment where Waldo Frank, the American writer, was beaten up yesterday, Argentine police j have Identified one of his six as sailants, today. Inquiries at the home of the owner of the hat, a student, elicited the information that the youth was "out of town." The painful beating dealt Waldo Frank within 24 hours after -the Argentine government had pronounced the United States writer and lecturer un welcome in their country threat ened today to provoke a politi cal aftermath. Deputy Eduardo Araujo said he would offer a motion in the lower house demanding that the government explain what means it took to protect the 53-ycar-old publicist after its declaration Saturday that he had become persona non grata. E AVIATION FIELD Wartime Program to Dwarf Peacetime Performance Planes, Engines on List. Detroit (U.R) Nash-Kelvinator Corp., which built its pre-war reputation as a manufacturer of automobiles and refrigerators, is almost 100 per cent in the air craft business today. It has embarked on wartime manufacturing program which easily will dwarf its greatest peace-time performance. At peek production it will employ two and one-half times as many men as it did during capacity output of civilian goods, Nash-Kelvinator has tackled three major aircraft production jobs. They are: 1 Manufacture of Hamilton variable-pitch propellers. Nash already is in volume production on this Job at one of its Mich igan plants. Incidentally, the manufacturing cost of a propel-1 ler of this type is equal to that of three automobiles. Builds Engines 2 Production of flying boats for the Navy on a quantity basis. This job is so large that several plants, some of them in Wiscon son and Michigan, will be re quired to supply parts. An en- j tircly new plant is being built in Louisiana to handle assembly of these giant freight carriers, only two or three of which have been built by hand. Sub-Contractor Nash-Kelvinators' shift from civilian to war production has' been described as a "colossal de-1 velopmcnt" by one of its own. executives. Its most serious bot- tleneck was obtaining enough trained supervisory personnel to push its various aircraft jobs. : For example, Nash will employ i nearly one-third of its full peacetime manpower on assem-1 bly of the Navy flying boat i alone. It hopes to reach SO per cent of its peak war employ ment by December. Nash also has shouldered other government war contracts. It built thousands of automo bile trailers for the Army in a plant which has been sold to another manufacturer for assem bly of tanks. It is making parts for Army binoculars. Nash also is serving as a sub-contractor on at least a dozen other war products. DESTROYER READY SOON Seattle, Aug. 3 (,P The 13th naval district headquarters announced today that the U. S. S.
