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."

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.

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

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.

Time-Measuring Scale
And obviously, there will be
a new time-measuring scale.
Each time the vehicle circles the
Earth, each period from new
MOUSE to new MOUSE, will be
a lousar month. The thing will
be too small to influence tides.
But it sure could eclipse easy.
We'll have to steer away from
naming the new months after
the gods, the way the Romans
named our present ones after
Janus, Mars, Juno. .We might
as well be patriotic and name
them after United States Presi

Woman Goes With Son To School, Then Stays
