Puzzle of Tombstone Under Medford House Solved by Local Man Cliff Hanson can rest eaiy. There's no grave under his house. The grsve-or-no grave ques tion came up last week when a partly destroyed gravestone was found under Hanson's house at 538 West 10th street during Installation of a new foundation Tha stone, an old one, bore the name of Reese P. Kendall, born in 1829. Saturday Lewis Parker, 413 South Central, avenue, reported that Kendall was a distant relative of his through marriage, and that he is properly buried in the Ash land cemetery. He corroborated the theory that a former resident of the house was employed by a stoneworking firm, and said he also believes that the head stone was damaged while be ing prepared, and was used as part of the old foundation while a new headstone was prepared for Kendall's Ash land grave. 1 SWING CUT 0a SAW, 10" overcut with iteel frimt, henqen, ireem cylinder feed control, bait, tic. 1 SWING CUT OPS SAW, 70" overeut with ireel Ireme, hengerl, iream cylinder food control, belt, otc.

"Salome" on location here. For four hours, 35 extras in Roman dress had the deserted streets of the Galilean town to themselves. Inhabitants were not around to get in the way. The Columbia Pictures film group, led by the Hollywood producer Walter Dietcrle, shot 18,000 feet of film in Acre, Ti berias, along the banks of the Jordan and in Nazareth during their two weeks' stay, depicting scenes in which Salome rides from Cacsarca to take a cere monial dip in the Jordan. New Road Built A half-kilometer of road was constructed to film some of the scenes. Modern telephone and electric wires often made it im possible to film some ancient spots. Whenever scenes were shot on main roads after tele graph poles. had been concealed, the modern' highway had to be concealed with dirt. Another snag was empty cans and other signs of modern living which would be out of place in first century surroundings.

Two hundred men and women from Israel's Jordan Val ley settlements took part as ex tras, in addition to hundreds of horsemen and camel riders re cruited among Circassians, Ar abs and Jews. .Many extras changed into cos tume and donned makeup in taxi cabs parked by the roadside. Camel in Scene Horsemen in the garb of 19 centuries before swooped in the direction of the Jordan while groups of helmeted Roman cav alry escorted a gaily-caparisoned camel with a litter perched on its swaying hump. Inside the litter was Tamara Rappaport, an 18-year-old Tel Aviv school girl, filling in for Rita Haywortii, who had stayed behind in Hollywood. The Israeli girl appeared to disapprove of the cameras taking the scene from a distance so as to hide the difference between the stand-in and Ihe star. The shooting in Israel cost the film company several hundreds of thousands of Israel pounds, paid out of Columbia's frozen film assets in the country. "Salome" will be completed and ready for showing in the cgrly fall.

Capturing of Gave Hunters Bombay (U.R) The jun gles of India's remote Vindhya Pradesh state in the north-central part of the country, particu larly the Rewa area, have be come noted as the only region in the world where white tigers have been shot by Indian shi karis (hunters). Of greater interest today, how ever, is the first of these speci mens to be captured alive now a cub of massive build, about 21-4 years old, weighing almost 500 pounds, which was captured almost a year ago. Spotted by Beaters The captive cub was first spot ted by the Maharaja of Rewa's beaters while camping in the Ramgarh forest late in May, 1951, on a hunt. The cub was with a tigress and two other cubs which were of normal colora tion. The maharaja instructed that all efforts should be made to take the unorthodox animal alive. The tigress and the cubs, des perately trying to escape from a cordon thrown around the area, look shelter in a cave.

Saturdays Men who run small businesses have said such things as: "Some people seem to think we're being frozen out. I'm doing all right myself, but what about others? How can small firms hold their own with a big company like you?" You can see the answer for yourself when you get a clear picture of the way business firms depend on one another. Even a big, integrated company couldn't possibly stand alone. " 2-.1 toifiktv White Tiger Much Trouble were blocked and the trapped beasts were smoked and starved for two days. On the third day they emerg ed, one by one, and were shot except the odd specimen which was captured, put in a cage and. taken to the maharaja's palace. Escapes Over Wall In a final break for freedom, the white cub scaled the walls on its first night within the pal ace grounds. An intensive search was organized and the fu gitive was seen several times by hunters and villagers, apparent ly trying to get water. The day was extremely hot. After several unsuccessful at tempts to net the tiger, a villager dazed it by hitting it on the head with a club and it was taken bark. Now almost nine feet In length, the. cub, called "Mohan" Prince Charming), eats a lot of fresh meat in a day.

Barkley be lieves the Democratic National convention will be a "free and open contest." For the past 16 years, Bark ley pointed out, the Democratic presidential nomination has been "a foregone conclusion" since the party was renominating a president in office. "This year," he said in an in terview, "the convention will be a free and open contest among the active candidates and those who will be considered though not actually seeking nomina tion." Barkley put himself in the latter category last month after Kentucky Democrats endorsed him as a "favorite son'.' candi date for the presidential nomination. 7 aft Gets ND Delegates By, Margin of 816 Votes Pierre, S.
