Russian Bombers
Affect American
Defense Planning
Washington (U.PJ The Uni
ted States today announced
major new Soviet air power de
velopments affecting North
American defenses and ability
to carry out an air attack.
A cryptic statement issued by
the Defense Department dis
closed that Russia row is flying
at least one type of heavy jet
bomber comparable to the
American 650-mile an hour B
52. The Russian craft previously
had been considered a prototype
bomber in the development
stage.
Improved Defenses
The two-paragraph statement
also gava the first official Amer
ican disclosure that Russia now
has an "all-weather fighter"
plane. That could cause drastic
new estimates on the ability of
U.S. bombers to penetrate Rus
sia defenses, since much of cur
rent planning is based on attack
ing at nifht and in bad weather.
The statement, approved by
the "highest level" of this gov
ernment said:
"The Soviets have recently
elected to expose some new air
craft developments in air parade
formations over Moscow. These
observations establish a new
basis of our estimate of Soviet
bomber and of the medium
bomber.
Soviet Progress
"There has also been an ap
pearance of a turboprop bomber
and a new all-weather fighter
has appeared, as expected. This
knowledge is evidence of the
modern technology of the Soviet
aircraft industry and the ad
vances which are being made
by them."
It was learned that two -re-,
hearsal flights were made over
Moscow with the heavy jet hom
er prior to May Day. The first
flight had eight planes and the
second had 10. The bombers are
comparable to the B52 which
this nation designed to carry
the hydrogen bomb and which
can fly about 6000 miles, with
its range extended indefinitely
by air refueling.
Attorneys Frown on
New Sheppard Trial
Cleveland (U.R) Prose
cuting attorneys said today that
only Dr. Samuel H. Sheppard
had the "exclusive opportunity"
to kill his wife, Marilyn, and he
therefore should not be allowed
another trial.
The statement was made in
a 90-page brief filed with the
Court of Appeals, which on May
23 will hear oral arguments on
defense pleas for a second trial.
Defense attorneys already have
submitted a 12-volume transcript
of the nine-week trial that ended
with Dr. Sheppard's conviction
of second-degree murder, and
filed a 368-page brief outlining
their arguments,
f The prosecution rebuttal may
be answered within 10 days by
the defense.
The latest action is separate
from an earlier appeal, based
on "new evidence," which was
turned down earlier this week.

Gold Treasure Said Buried
Beneath Mississippi Sands
Beaumont, Miss. U.R) A
chest laden with gold, legend
has it, lies somewhere beneath
the restless sands of Beaumont's
storied "Money Hole."
Thus far, numerous costly sal
vage attempts have been .futile.
The treasure chest, the story
goes, was buried by a wounded
bandit before the turn of the cen
tury. He shared his secret with
a Negro family near Beaumont
after the family nursed him
back to health. ,
One woman in the rural farm
ing region vows "there's a tos"
of gold in the chest somewhere
in the hole, now chewed into a
ragged, circular cavity in a dry
creekbed. The creek has long
been diverted by the fortune
hunters. Another native .recalls with a
sigh that he had his hands on the
chest only to see it sink back in
the quick sasd.
The woman, Lennie Rhodes,
maintains that "someone with
enough money" for the proper
type of salvags job can snare the
chest that's been sought both by
amateurs' and salvage experts.
Miss Rhodes purchased the
land for a cousin. She stands
watch on the spot when she
agrees to let treasure-seekers set
up camp to probe the shifting
sands of the hole that now meas
ures 100 feet-across and about
80 feet deep.
She discounts the claim of Em
mett Williams of San Pedro,
Calif., an expert deep sea diver
and salvage man, who spent
three weeks last August digging
through more .than 50 feet of
the tricky sands.
Williams said his work and
rental of equipment and pay for
laborers cost his two backers
$29,000.

We picked that hole as clean
as a chicken bone and there's
nothing there," he said.
"I pumped 5,000 gallons of
sand and millions of gallons of
water. It's a complete waste un
less a man figures he needs ex
perience pumping sand and
water."
' Miss Rhodes replied that Wil
liams refused her advice to
shore up the constantly crum
bling sand banks.
"I'm just a woman," she said,
"and none of them will listen to
me."
-
One Hattiesburg, Miss., man,
she added, spent $17,500 in an
unsuccessful search.
Oscar Fillingame, a justice of
the peace, said he and his father
and a cousin spent $3,000 on the
search many years ago and saw
the chest, touched it, but failed
to haul it to high ground.
"I had my hands on the chest,
but, it slipped back in the sand,"
Fillingame recalled.

Friday the 13th Just Another Day To
Superstitious-Ridden Japanese People
Tokyo (U.R) So today, is
Friday the 13th. You think it's
unlucky? Come to Japan and
you'd feel lucky if Friday the
13th was all you had to worry
about.
In Japan every day is unlucky
if you're facing northeast, for in
stance. The ancient land of Nippon is
as full of superstitions as it is
of people.
Northeast is the direction of
the "Devil's Gate."
Special Prayer
It's such a bad direction that
for 1200 years a special prayer
has been uttered every year by
100 priests in Kyoto to pacify
the northeast.
A husband told his wife they
needed an extra room on their
tiny house for their two grow
ing daughters.
The mother consulted the "Fox
God" and was told not to build
for six months or risk disaster.
So the family went on living
like sardines.
Wild Women
Girls born in the year of the
"fire horse" are doomed to spin-
sterhood. Such women, ancient
sages say, are as wild as horses
and very likely to kill any man
who marries them.
Fortunately, the "fire horse"
year comes up only once every
60 years.
For a man to beat his bride
guarantees the best of luck. It
promises her many children.
Four is the unlucky number.
It's pronounced "she" in Japan
ese, the same way the word for
"death" is pronounced.
A bullfinch brings good luck
to its owner. Bullfinches are sold
once a year in a special Tokyo
shrine. If the bird tricks its
owner and brings bad luck in
stead of good, he can return it
to the altar and get a new one
free.
Dangerous Age
The dangerous age for men is
42, for women 33. Those are
years of calamity. Some people,
when they reach those ages,
spend most of the year in a tem
ple praying for survival.
Priests in one ancient temple
own more than 200 fans measur
ing six and a half feet in length.
In case of tire, each priest grabs
a fan and waves it madly shout
ing "confusion to the sparks!"
They claim they extinguished
fires that way in 1876 and 1926.
Japanese children once held
a special ceremony in memory
of departed insects. They felt
sorry for the butterflies they had
captured and. impaled in their
collections. After the ceremony,
the children said they slept bet
ter. .
And geisha girls go to temples
once a year to pray for the souls
of departed cats that furnished
the catgut for the strings of
their musical instruments.
Yrekan Plans Suit Against Hospital
Yreka A damage suit seek
ing $25,000 against the Siskiyou
County General hospital will be
filed here soon, according to Paul
R. Dunham, Yreka, who has no
tified the county board of super
visors that he will sue for injur
ies allegedly sustained last Feb
ruary. He claims his injuries were
the result of negligence of cer
tain hospital employees, and con
sisted of damage to internal or
gans and his nervous system.
The $25,000 figure includes
loss of wages and profits, he said
in his notification. He has one
