Later Miss Hayworth sent a messenger out with a promise to let them in if they would leave soon they did. NAVY'S NEWEST The U. S. Navy's newest Banshee, twin-jet, carrier-based fighter returns to Lambert-St Louis Municipal Airport after routine test flight over the Missouri river. The F2H-3 is larger than the previous F2H-2 Banshee. It is equipped with the most modern type radar, permit ting accomplishment of combat missions under all weather conditions. This is the first in-flight photo of the new jet. Science ar Work New York U.R) If your problems seem complicated and unsolvable, take comfort -from those presented to a new high speed electronic calculating mas chine developed and put into operation - at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, N. J. E. E. Kummer, a renowned mathematician of the 19th cen tury, proposed a mathematical theory which- couldn't be con firmed because it would have taken years of figuring. The ma chine did it in six hours, making about 20,000,000 multiplica tions. The machine can do 2,000 multiplications a second or 100, 000 additions or 1,200 divisions. Each number it handles is made up of a sign and 39 binary digits, which is the equivalent of a decimal number with a sign and Gain new vim...new joy in Then b no nd for you to be .tired, nervous, cranky or can atipoted if duo to dietary do. 4kiemies which occur onry when the daily intake of sVvrremin and Niacin is lees than nthihnam recjairements aver prolonged period.

Polio Susceptibility Influenced Heredity has a part in an in dividual's susceptibility to the viruses of paralytic polio. Dr.. C. Nash Herndon, associate profes sor of medical genetics, Wake Forest College, the Bownman Gray School of Medicine, assert ed in the National Foundation (for Infantile Paralysis) News. "Although the exact mecha nism of inheritance has not been definitely determined, the avail able facts are compatible with a theory suggested by Dr. Law rence Snyder, that susceptibility may be due to a 'double dose' of a recessive gene," he wrote. "This implies that while both parents might be resistant to po liomyelitis, if they both happen to carry a hidden tendency (a recessive gene) for susceptibil ity, their child might receive this tendency from both par ents." He calculated the probability of any given child of "carrier" parents being susceptible as one in four. A recent study sponsored by the March of Dimes organization calculated that it one of identi cal twins developed paralytic polio, the chances of the other twin developing it was about 36 per cent. But for fraternal twins that is, twins formed from two fertilized eggs instead of one the probability for the sec ond twin was only about six per cent. .

(U.PJ The "graveyard of the Atlantic," North Carolina's outer banks where hundreds of ships have been driven ashore and pounded to pieces around fabled Cape Hatteras, may soon Tjecome an other national park. The State of North Carolina, with a helping hand from the National Park Service, has ac quired 8,000 acres and hopes to get another 22,000 to set up the park. Its ' development, costing several million dollars, must await appropriations from Con gress. Opposing the park, a 20-year-old dream of state officials, are many Outer Bankers who have done without jails, policemen, Chicago Hammer Killer Frightens Slaying Suspect Chicago U.R) Junior Cox, confessed hammer killer who taunted police with telephone threats to strike again, fright ened another slaying suspect nearly out of his wits when po lice threw both men in the same cell. Milton Phillips, husky truck driver arrested here in connec tion with the butcher knife slay ing of his bride in Indianapolis, June 19, spent Saturday night in a cell with the claw hammer killer. Didn't Dare Sleep 'I didn t dare sleep I was afraid he would bash my head in with a shoe," the 51-year-old Indianapolis man said, "I'd never want to spend another night in a cell with a guy like him. Phillip's didn't have to. He was taken to Indianapolis for in vestigation into his wife s death and he actually seemed relieved. Cox, who bludgeoned a man to death with a claw hammer and then threatened to invade swank Chicago hotels in his quest for blood, was captured Saturday at a YMCA. Treatment Received - The 30-year-old slayer said he was from Logan, W. Va., and re vealed, he had received psychi atric treatment at' two hospitals. "The doctors couldn't help me," he said. Cox said he killed his hotel roommate, Thomas Acton, 35, be cause the Birmingham, Ala., man "kept bragging about how tough he was. Police said he admitted he was a homosexual,' and said they be lieved his "urge to kill came during periods of remorse" after sex acts. ESCAPES REDS Jaroslav Bures, above, a Czech refugee in Munich, Germany, claims to have escaped with John Hvasta, an American jailed by the Commu nists for alleged espionage, from the dread Leopoldov prison in Czechoslovakia. Bures stated that Hvasta is in hiding within the Czech republic and is probably hiding with the anti-Red under ground. .

Long Isolated Some Outer Bankers are de scendants of survivors from the ships whoa empty hulls now dot the sand dunes along the wind-beaten coast. Almost iso lated until recently, they use many Elizabethan phrases and speak with their own accent. As followers of the sea, "toids" are more important to them than "toime." The Outer Banks, which stretch Tfor hundreds of miles along the North Carolina coast, have played a mysterious role in history. The sailors of the world made the treacherous storms off Cape Hatteras a legend. The first English colony in America on Roanoke Island dis appeared leaving only the word "Croatoan," crudely carved on a tree, to baffle historians, who still ponder the lost colony's fate. The Outer Banks, as well as being the graveyard of many ships, is the birthplace of avia tion. On the sand dunes at Kitty Hawk, Wilbur and OrvlUe Wright made man's first heav-ier-than-air, powered flight, an event which some skeptical edi tors at the time found too incred ible to record in their news papers. Lighthouse Saved The famous Cape Hatteras lighthouse, largest of its kind on the Atlantic coast, was abandon ed in the early 1930s because en croaching seas were breaking within a few feet of the struc ture. The erection of sand fences and the planting of hardy beach grasses has saved the lighthouse, which has now been completely overhauled and put back in op eration. The movement towards set ting up the Cape Hatteras Na tional Seashore was held up shortly after the war when oil companies sent test crews to Dare County. The state legisla ture prevented acquisition of land for the seashore for four years until 1949, when the oil companies gave up the search. Getting to the Hatteras park area is still a problem- A new state read is paved from Nags Head to Oregon Inlet, but the ferry there can loan only 12 cars for the 30-minute trip. State officials warn that it is the only way to get to Hatteras today, unless a visitor flies or takes his own boat. The HARVEST SPARKLING NEW FALL MERCHANDISE A HARVEST OF VALUES!

(International) Japanese Author Praised As Detective Tokyo (U.R) They call Kodo Nomura the Conan Doyle of Japan. That's because the creator of Japan's Sherlock Holmes has written more than 340 mystery stories featuring the adventures of an Oriental private detective. He is writing a new one now and local critics are predicting that it will be just as popular as all the earlier yarns turned out by the 72-year-old former news paperman. Nomura's success has made him as well known in Japan as Premier Shigeru Yoshida. He writes with a pen. He didn't turn to his present career until he was 45. He also has won attention be cause of his collections of rec orded music and woodblock prints. Influenced by Conan Doyle The secret of Nomura's popu larity seems to be that he com bines popular Japanese historic novel with the present day de tective story technique. There is little doubt that he has been in fluenced by reading Conan Doyle's output. The hero of Nomura's stories t jpi Story Writer is a thirtyish, handsome private detective in Yedo. Yedo is the old, historic name for Tokyo. Heiji is the hero detective. Hachigoro is his thick-skulled, noisy, and good - natured assis tant. The stories all begin in the same way. Heiji is enjoying a' quiet life but suddenly is disturb ed by Hachigoro flinging open the door of his chief's house and yelling: "Say, Boss, something terrible has happened." From then on, the mystery un folds. Finally, after masterful detective work, Heiji solves the crime. Characters Unchanged Although the stories have been pleasing Japanese readers for more than two . decades, the characters in them never grow old. Very few criminals in the more than 300 stories are exe cuted after being arrested by Heiji. Most either drown or kill themselves by other means. What are the reasons for No mura's success? Perhaps it is the nostalgia his stories gener ate in the heart of the Japanese for the Yedo period, one of the SEASON and. . . pMoi m COMES TO MEDFORD ( O THURSDAY O FRIDAY O SATURDAY August 21 -22-23 See The Mail Tribune WEDNESDAY MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE KIKE few peaceful eras in the history of Japan. Perhaps a is tne. ftu. map quality of the author wto.cn is mirrored in the ssrsonality of Heiji, who is a rebel against ther feudal power, who hates hy- pocrasy and yearns for freedom. Aging Kodo Nomura still pro-, duces more than eight Heiji pieces of melodrama a month. Besides those, he is much in de. mand as a writer of essays for magazines and as a lecturer on Japanese radio stations. . Washington U.R .
