'Hiroshima' Girls Planning Visits Washington (U.R) Twenty of the "Hiroshima Maidens" planned Saturday to visit the homes of the first and 34th presi dents of the U. S. The trips to Mount Vernon and the V.'hite House ended a two-day tour of the capital for the young victims of the Hiro shima atomic blast 11 years ago. The "Hiroshima Maidens," 25 in all, have been undergoing plastic surgery treatment for A bomb scars at St. Sinai Hospital In New York for the last year. Five of the girls were unable to i make the trip here. But the other 20 all between 18 and 30 years old appeared t obe having the time of their lives. They chatted and giggled and snapped pictures from morn ing to night. Mrs. Barbara Howard, a mem ber of the committee that spon sored the "Maidens" trip to this country, said it was the girls who wanted to come to Washing ton. Mrs. Howard, wife of Presi dent Jack R. Howard of the Scripps - Howard Newspapers, said the girls believe Washing ton represents the "official cen ter of the United States" where they could best express thanks to the American people. Mice Get Cancer From Smog Elements Los Angeles (U.R) A Uni versity of Southern California scientist has produced lung cancer in mice by forcing the animals to breathe elements con tained in smog, the American Cancer Society reported Satur day. Dr. Paul Kotin placed mice In an atmosphere contaminated by oxidized hydrocarbons, com mon elements found in gasoline, diesel oil and plastics. After 40 weeks, 63 per cent of the mice living in polluted air developed lung cancer, the doctor found. Only 21 per cent of the mice which lived in washed air had cancer in the same period. Dr. Kotin's findings, the American Cancer Society said, suggests that precautions must be taken against unnecessary ex posure to chemicals in polluted air Three-Day Pass Not So Lucky On 13fh ' Seoul, Korea (U.R) Special ist 3-C James W. Hart, Denver, Colo., considered it was his lucky day when he got a three-day pass beginning Friday the 13th. He soon changed his mind. The only vehicle on which he could hitch a ride into Seoul was a garbage truck, and he had to sit on a pile of garbage. Jumping down from the truck he turned his ankle and rolled in a mud puddle. When he went to buy lunch for himself and a friend, he found he had lost his wallet. He tried to call his girl friend back home and after a four-hour wait learned she was not home. There was only one bright spot. After an agonizing search, he found the wallet and the $84.60 with which he had plan ned to finance his three days In town.

A century later, his grandson, Ira R. Culver, Talent, brought the bill, now frayed and yellowing, into the office of the Mail Tribune to furnish a comparison with prices, then and now. The bill; furnishing a record of charges Culver made to one Bowen, a grocer, covers the period between On The Side (Distributed by King Ah, love, could you and I with him conspire.

Omar Khayyam Does you wife belong to a "discussion group" made up of her feminine friends? What do they discuss? I have heard from such a group. Am informed the subject of their next discussion will be Grace Kelly. The ladies want me to suggest some things to discuss. , Practically every thing that can be publicly said about Miss Kelly has already been printed. Still perhaps these ladies don't know Grace was once named "Queen of the Kel lys" by the Philadelphia sports writers. Maybe they are not aware the Prince proposed to Grace on the stroke of 12, last New Year's eve at the Stork Club. Miss Kelly's measure ments are 35-22-35. The girls could discuss that for a couple of minutes. Then there is the fact that this year is the 100th anniversary of the establish ment of the gambling casino at Monte Carlo. That was in spired by Monaco being in some financial difficulties. A citizen of Monaco is called a Monegas que. Prince Rainier has an "of ficial" income of $196,000 a year with no income tax to pay.

Among the Married Are you, by any chance ex pecting a new arrival around the early part of July? How would you like your child to be born on the Fourth of July? It can be arranged. Or, so claims a New Yorker, who says she arranged to have her most re cent child born on St. Valen tine's Day. This was accom plished by the use of a new "miracle" drug which makes a birth possible on a desired day. Young mother referred to says the delivery' of her "baby by appointment" took 55 minutes. That was much less than the births of her other two chil dren took. The new arrival is a sturdy boy weighing in at birth at seven pounds eight ounces. His birthday being St. Valentine's Day, will be easy in his adult years for his wife to remember. So, if you want your next child to have the same kind of break arrange for the birth to come on the Fourth of July, Christmas, New Year's Day, St. Valentine's Day, Wash ington's birthday, Fourth of July or some other easily re membered date.
