TWTLTB MED FORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday, January 13, 195B Test Record Number of Nuclear Bombs at Eniwetok ates United St a Will island 0 G No Dale Revealed For Start of New Experiment Series Washington UR) The Unit ed States this spring will set off the greatest number of experi mental H-bombs and A-bombs ever tested at its Eniwetok Proving ground in the Pacific. This was disclosed today aft er the Atomic Energy commis sion and Defense department of ficially confirmed that nuclear tests will be resumed at the multimillion-dollar test estab lishment in the Marshall islands. In the last Eniwetok test se ries two years ago a record total of five "devices" were exploded. Deliverable heavyweight v e r sions have since gone into the U.S. atomic arsenal. This year, s highly qualified source said, "there will be' more than five shots." Though no 5ate was officially announced for the start of the new series, a congressional source said they are scheduled to start on or before May 1. They are expected to include: 1. Air drops of 'middleweight H-bombs" specifically construct ed to destroy enemy airfields. This could be the first time that American H-bombs were actual ly dropped from an airplane. Past U.S. hydrogen tests have been ground shots. The latest Soviet test H-bomb, exploded Nov. 2, apparently was deliv ered on target by heavy bomber. May Test Missile Warhead 2. Experimental firing of a new atomic weapon against ene my H-bombers. An earlier ver sion with a similar mission was tested at a high altitude in Nevada last year. The perfect ed weapon may be a warhead for antiaircraft guided missiles such as the new Nike-B. Or it may be an airborne atomic war head, the fighter - interceptor's . answer to invading bomber fleets. The official announcement was skimpy. In view of the lack of effective international atom ic controls, it said, trfls country will keep on building up its strength "for purposes of peace." AEC Chairman Lewis L. Strauss said in an accompany ing statement that the tests will "involve weapons generally smaller in yield than those test ed" in March-April-May, 1954. This was unofficially inter preted as a concession to foreign a;itation for a curb on tests which add to the world's burden of atomic radiation. Bark Beetles Hard To Find Forest Men Say Salem (U.R) Douglas fir bark beetles, which killed more than 10,000,000,000 board feet of Oregon timber between 1951 and 1953, now are so scarce the State Forestry department has to grow a special crop of beetles for experimental uses, according to forestry officials. Don Allen, chief forest ento mologist, said "good, healthy beetles are hard to find. The ab normal cold and dampness dur ing the past two years has slow ed the beetle epidemic." Cold Spells Death He said cold days and nights spell slow death for the destruc tive insects, which have riddled some of the finest timber in the country. The current shortage of heal thy beetles affects the experi mental studies aimed at their control, Allen said. But he warn ed that beetles still were in the woods and the danger was by no means over. Foresters want to know the life habits of the in sects, effects of weather on them, environment and avail ability of food. Beetles, with other insects, killed more timber than any other cause in recent years. POISON OAK? Try. a Borfle of ZEMACOL You must be satisfied or your money 'cheerfully refunded.

But why peek? 1. Although I am harmless and peace-loving, every fang and claw in my domain, seem ingly, is against me. For size, no mammal moves any faster. When pressed, I swim as fast as i a dog. My soles are densely hairy. Sexes look alike, females slightly larger. I scream. 2. My honorable forebears go back, not to man's short span, but 30,000,000 years and today I and my close relatives have spread over most of the world's large land masses, South Amer ica excepted. In America, you'll find us from Mexico to the Arc tic; from shrubby valleys to mountain peaks, above timber line. A creature of habit, forked trails. Given my share of greens, I restrict my range to a circle of two miles in diameter, say. However cold, we don't huddle. 3. I weigh about as much as a new born-babe. My acute ears are flexible: I can funnel them toward sound, or lay them on my back. I twitch my keen nose constantly. My upper lip is split. Although I sit on my haunches, my forelimbs lack grasping power. By shifting white rump hair, one of my kind flashes sig nals while running. I'm a bound er; when not pressed I generally leap higher every fourth jump to check on my pursuer's prog ress. Young Fully Covered 4. After a six weeks' gestation, perhaps a half dozen young are born fully covered with a mot tled, brownish-gray fur, brown eyes wide open, lower' incisors well-developed. Within five min utes they nurse. Bothered, they'll rear up and box. After feeding, mother covers them with a home-made quilt of fur. A 50 per cent difference may exist in size between brothers and sisters. Within a week, they eat greens; within three, they can be on their own; in two months, they have adult stature. If luck attends, they may live a dozen years but few survive their third birthday. 5. My incisors may grow 20 inches a year; up to 12 feet in a lifetime! Blessed with a hearty digestion; we pick and choose continually from late afternoon until we retire under shrubs early next morning. Almost ex clusively vegetarians, we prefer buds, leaves, fruits, twigs and even roots but sometimes we eat earth for minerals and pick up an occasional insect or a spot S. B.

But yum, yum, how we go for green grass, lettuce, clover, carrots and cabbage, We seldom drink much of . our moisture comes from succulent vegetation. 6. Coyote and bobcat; bull snake and rattler; owl and eagle, flea and tick all are my na tural enemies. And man! But my strength lies in these things: my protective coloration to har monize .with my background, I am grayish-brown and some of my northern kind even whiten during winter's snowfalls; my keen vision my big eyes are placed on the corner of my an gular head so I can see forward and backward; my sensitive hearing apparatus and with some, my long ears may be one third the length of my body; my speed under stress, I can clear 18-20 feet at a bound with my strong hindlegs, and make a good 45 miles an hour; and, finally, my high, birth rate. Ritualistic Dance 7. On moonlit nights a dozen or so may enjoy a ritualistic social dance, with many caper ings and high bouncings. The mating season may extend from early spring until late fall the pairing occurring at night. Be tween ' rival males, there may be savage fights boxing, with jabbing forefeet, raking hind claws, and biting. From these duels, torn ears often result, and worse, disembowelment. 8. As intimated, we are pro lific for our size, we multiply surely faster than any other mammal. During peak years every five to ten years our numbers reach fantastic propor tions, often thousands to the square mile. Then the inevitable lack of nourishing fo(jd, preda tors, and' worse, disease, take their toll until you may not see one of us in a dozen square miles. With it, the populations of wolves, foxes, coyotes, lynxes and even horned owls decline. 9. In season, my tasty flesh is sold in markets; my hair is used for making felt hats and green pool-table covering. Indians used my fur for clothes and blankets. White man, supposedly much smarter, uses dyes . to make it resemble everything it is not: squirrel, seal, nutria, chinchilla, muskrat and even leopard.' 10. Would that I could be called by my right name so few do. In the fur trade, it is coney; in nursery tales my young is a. bunny, it should De leveret; in the outdoors, it's jack rabbit perhaps for my long jackass-like ears, but despite that, I am correctly called a hare.

Dated and first published. Decem ber 23rd, 1955. Thomas J. Reeder Administrator Daily's U-Drive Medford Airport Garbage Workers Quizzed in Search For Body of Girl New York (U.R) Police ques tioned garbage haulers and trash disposal workers today in a search for parts of the dismem bered body of Jacqueline Smith who died Christmas Eve at the hands of an abortionist hired by her lover. Chances were slim that any trace of the pretty, 20-year-old fabric designer would be found but the district attorney's office said the body was not essential to prosecution of homicide charges against Thomas G. Dan iel, 24, the girl's lover, and Leo Pijuan, 46, the accused abortion ist. District Attorney Frank Hogan said Pijuan admitted 'per forming an unsuccessful Christ mas Eve abortion on the girl in Daniel's apartment. Daniel, who had called the hospital orderly to perform the illegal operation, rendered "some little assist ance," Hogan said. The girl, who had, been living with Daniel and was six weeks pregnant, died during the opera tion and the panic-stricken pair cut up her body into small pieces, wrapping them in gay Christmas wrapping paper and distributing them in various trash baskets, Hogan said. . The dismembered body prob ably was consumed by the in tense flames of the city garbage disposal plant, authorities said, but workers were questioned in the hope one of them may have seen one of the grisly packages or that one of the pieces may have been missed in routine trash pickups. Testimony of Docidr Authorities planned to base their case on the testimony of a Mexican doctor, an exchange in tern at a New York hospital, who was called to Daniel's apartment after the girl died during the operation. The doctor, Ramiro Morales, 26, tried to revive the girl but was unable to do so and pro nounced her dead. Unfamiliar with local laws he then left and did not report the case. Morales was booked as a material wit ness but was released in police custody. Police said he was co operating with their investiga tion. Miss Smith, a pretty Lebanon, Pa., girl who came to New York to work as a fabric designer, shared an apartment with two other girls but had been living with Daniel for several months, Hogan said. . Kidnap-Rapist Faces Five Counts . ' Santa Ana, Calif. U.R) Jack James Walker, 25, who confessed he twice attacked Donna May Schurr, 18, Miss California of 1955, today faced five felony counts of kidnaping, rape and burglary. - The Orange County district at torney's office yesterday charged the upholsterer with two counts of kidnaping, two of rape and one of burglary. Walker confess ed he attacked Miss Schurr last March 26 as well as "Tuesday night, when he was captured by the beauty's boy-friend, Lloyd Brett, 21, and officers. Shapely Miss Schurr, who placed high in both the Miss U.S.A. and Miss Universe beauty contests; identified Walker as her assailant on both occasions. Walker is married and the father of a child as well as ex pecting a second child. He said he became obsessed with desire after seeing bathing suit photo graphs of the beauty. He said he had a "yen" for her. Deputy Dist. Atty. Kenneth. Williams said Walker was saved from prosecution under: the state's "Little Lindbergh" law which ' carries a possible death penalty, because he. did not com mit robbery during the kidnap rape.

Story Naming Killer of Till Boy Read Into Congressional Record Washington (U.R) Rep. Charles C. Diggs Jr. (D-Mich.) put into today's Congressional Record a Look magazine article purporting to show that a Mis sissippi white man who was tried and acquitted in the Em mett Till murder case actually was the killer of the Chicago Negro boy. According to the account as published 'in Look and put in the Record, a second man who was tried and freed in the case accompanied the killer in rout ing the Negro boy from his bed during the night, beating him with a pistol, and driving him to the spot at which he was shot to death and dumped nto the river. In remarks published in the Record, Diggs,. one of three Negro House members, said of ihe Look article: Information From Killers "The stunning revelations are so detailed and stated so posi tively, the magazine's journalis tic integrity and knowledge of libel law is so well established, there is no doubt in my mind that the information came di rectly from the killers them selves, J. W. Milam and Roy Bryant. "Safe within the legal con fines of immunity from another trial for the same offense pro vided by the very Constitution which they and others of their breed have challenged, these men apparently grasped at the opportunity of selling this ex clusive story for an undoubted ly handsome financial reward." The article, written and copy righted by William Bradford Huie, pictured Milam as having fired the shot that killed Till. The article said Milam and Bryant originally had intended only to whip him "and scare some sense into him" after the 14-year-old Negro boasted he had"been with white girls be fore" and asked Bryant's wife, Carolyn, for a date. Till, 14-year-old Chicago Negro, "wolf whistled" at Caro lyn Bryant and allegedly asked her for a date in a small grocery in Money, Miss., last Aug. 24. Seven days later a body identi fied as Till's was found in the Tallahatchie r iv e r, trussed, weighted, and with a bullet in the head. . Mrs. Bryant's husband, Roy, 24, and his half-brother, Milam, 36, were tried and acquitted on charges of Till's murder. The How can a woman 150 decisions in 17.9 Did yon know this about yourself?

But in what it described as the first "real story" of the case, Look said flatly that Milam, a 235-pound combat vet eran, shot Till with a .45 caliber pistol. Jackson, Miss. (U.R) J. W Milam, one of two men acquit ted of the Emmett Till slaying, has denied allegations in a Look magazine article saying that he killed the Till boy. - The day the magazine article appeared, Milam told reporters he had never talked to any rep resentative of Look. He said he plans to "talk to my lawyer" about filing a libel suit against the magazine. No action has been taken yet.
