o G o o Glamorous Former o o Model Scores Hii 4 Bull Fighter jMexico City (U.R) A gla morous former New York model killed two savage bulls in her de?ut in Mexico City's Plaza bull ring yesterday. Tough bullfight critics were lavish in their praise of the per formance of Bette Ford, 24, a slender beauty who had been fighting in small rings for only a year. Fin Performance q Critics hailed the performance asone of the finest by a woman evjcr seen here." Miss Ford is the Q firat American woman ever to fight in the famous Plaza ring. Each of the bulls was killed wirh one sword thrust, a measure of her skill. Bull ring officials a -rrded her an ear from each of the, animals. ?he crowd of 25,000, includ ing many American tourists, was wi'h her from the start when she entered the ring, dressed in p,a white Spanish ranchero cos tume and a broad brimmed white O -fcat, and walked gracefully across the hard packed sand in the parade of bullfighters. Hiss Ford brought the crowd tocits feet when she dropped to hof j knees in the center of the ring, world's largest, and man euvered 600 pounds of savage hirging bull with her red cape. 'I'ime after time she executed dangerous passes, letting the bull's stiletto-sharp horns pass within a fraction of an inch of her body. o ,wnen tne bulls were worn down by skillful cape work, Miss Ford provoked them into a charge leaned far over the horns, pitted her sword between the shoulders and whirled away. As she left the ring, fans show ered her with flowers, hats and - shawls, in the traditional show of approval. Quotes From the News By UNITED PRESS Movie Producer-Director Mervyn Leroy, who didn't finish grade ichool but who has done such things a help discover Lana Turner for the movies: "I was born with a wooden spoon in my mouth, and it was a belter break than being born with a gold one. Kids who have it easy don't have the same incentive and drive to prove they have something to offer that they are as good as the next guy; maybe better." The Rev. John Lamb, chaplain to Queen Elizabeth, during serv ices attended by the Queen while all Britain was wondering about the matrimonial plans of her younger sister. Princess Margaret Rose: "May she (the Princess) find fulfillment of her heart's desire." John Strohm, agriculture editor of the Ford Almanac, who managed the tour of the Russian agriculture experts in this country: "They really are live wire guys who knew what they wanted and asked many question. They're a very likable bunch." Steers Given Female Hormones Gain Weight Chicago (U.R) Steers fed on stilbestrol, a female hormone, gain more weight at less cost without ill effects, according to Ralph McCall, beef cattle re search expert. Tests showed that one lot of steers fed stilbestrol gained an average of 2.83 pounds per day as compared with 2.35 pounds peday gained by another lot that didn't receive the hormone. Feed cost per hundred-weight eairt for the stilbestrnl-fprf Int was3 $22.34, while feed cost of the other lot was $24.25 per hundred-weight gain. McCall said. Chuck Davey, who tried unsuccessfully to wrest the welter weight boxing title from Kid Gavilan in February, 1952, and who will begin a comeback attempt tonight: "I worked hard and trained hard to get to the top before but once I got to the top I got flat-footed and, well, you know what happened. I learned one thing. You've got lo work just as hard to stay on top as you did to get there.' Kurt R. Stehling, rocket engineer who was asked about the possibility of a woman, instead of a man, becoming the first to fly a space ship: "You wouldn't think so sometimes when you see a woman drive a car, but if a woman is well trained for the job she could make a better pilot than a man." Maj. Gen. Harlan C. Parks, senior U.N. officer in South Korea, informing Red officials that Allied gunners refrained from firing on a Communist plane flying over U.N. territory despite "strong resentment" over the Reds' downing of a training plane in which one American was killed and another injured: "It may be difficult in the future lo maintain this one-sided control if you Communists continue provocative and hostile action against our aircraft while at the same time indiscriminately com mitling air violations against our side."

Coast Guard Academy graduate whose commission was held up because of charges his mother once belong to subervisive groups: "Unfortunately the case has not yet been resolved.

The Soviets sprung their an swer to President Eisenhower's two-year-old atoms for peace plan at the final session of the United Nations atomic confer ence here. Tell Location They also disclosed for the first time the location of some atomic installations in Russia. Russian delegate A. N. Lav rishchev read a prepared state ment detailing a massive nuclear aid program for Russia's Com munist neighbors, including sup plies of tritium, a radioactive isotope that in large quantities could be used in the hydrogen bomb. After reading his speech, which did not mention aid to non-Communist countries, Lav rishchev added: "Russia is prepared to con sider extension of the number of countries to which the USSR could grant assistance." Backing for Ike Lavrishchev also departed from his text to reaffirm Soviet backing of Mr. Eisenhower's proposal last week that another atoms-for-peace conference be held. ' The Soviet scientist said his country hopes that "such confer ences on the peaceful uses of atomic energy shall in the future be convened at regular inter vals." Lavrishchev said Russia's initial atomic aid program would include Red China, Poland, East Germany, Rumania, Bulgaria and Hungary. Only tiny Albania was excluded among the satellite nations. Atomic Power Being Used in Small Ways Chicago U.R) The armed forces are seeking ways to har ness the atom in small ways for peace and defense these days, according to a report from the Illinois Institute of Technology. The Army and Air Force, for example, are testing storage batteries, less than half a cubic inch in size, which utilizes the rays from atomic bomb by products to produce electricity. Also under study by the Army is a radiation detector, which takes up about as much space as a package of king-size cigarettes. It can measure the amount of radiation absorbed by a person from a nuclear blast, according to the ITT newsletter. "A Story . That Needs Telling" SEE PAGE 2 MOUSEstruck Maidens, Swains to Stroll In MOUSElight When Satellite Launched By H. D. QUIGG United Press Correspondent New York (U.R) Well, sir, a few of us got into a new orbit when we went over to the local planetarium for a background conference on the proposed man made moon. That's the basketball-size thing which this country plans to squirt out of , this world a couple or three hundred miles out, at .least to whiz around the earth, scoring goals for science. Reporters were called in by the planetarian and the Ameri can Rocket Society to get the latest low-down on things higher up, and particularly on the pro jected ESV (earth satellite ve hicle). Well, it looks as if the thing will work, but obviously science has not considered nor tried to prepare the world for the lunar aspects of the project. Eventually, one of these things is going to be shot up high enough to stay there forever a new moon shedding feeble beams on lovers and baying dogs alike. Real Challenge And then what a pickle! And what a challenge to Tin Pan Al ley. Why in the world . . . oops, forgot, we're out of the world . . . okay, why in heavens they're naming it ESV, instead of something that will rhyme with June and spoon in a song, a boner for which science will have to answer. On second thought, science, never minds answering. Obviously ESV won't do for a name. The only workable name on the satellite horizon is the fine one thought up by Dr. S. Fred Singer of the University of Maryland Minimum Orbital Unnamed Satellite, Earth. Or, MOUSE. That's it. There'll be more MOUSE struck maidens and swains holding hands in the eve nin' by the MOUSElight than Fire Destroys 11 ,000 Acres Near Bums Burns, Ore. (U.R) Two big forest fires spent most of their fury yesterday after destroying nearly 11,000 acres of timber and range land. Firefighters were confident both blazes could be cleaned up without further outbreaks due to favorable weather conditions and the efforts of 200 men in fire lines. The largest blaze was 15 miles northeast of here. It burned over 10,000 acres before, it was brought under control, accord ing to fire control officer John C. Hunt of the Bureau of Land Management. Another blaze was reported under control at Ironside moun tain, 65 miles northwest of Vale. It jumped fire lines four times and consumed nearly 900 acres of second growth timber on pri vate land. They were both lightning-caused. Dead line Sunday Classified is at noon Saturday: 10 a.m. Monday for Monday: other days 5 :30 previous day. any lousatic fringe has yet imag ined.

The thing will be too small to influence tides. But it sure could eclipse easy.

U.R) Mrs. Tekla Johnson, 44, of Oulu, takes her son to school each day then stays to study along with him. Mrs. Johnson whose formal schooling was interrupted in 1924, enrolled in high school last fall with her 16-year-old son, Fred. She said she had never given up hopes that she would be able to go back to school and graduate. "The first day of school last September everybody thought5 1 was the new home economics teacher instead of another fresh man," Mrs. Johnson said.
