AEC Delays Firing
Device 24 Hours
Las Vegas, Nev. (IP The
Atomic Energy commission Fri
day night delayed firing of a
below nominal yield atomic de
vice for another 24 hours
because of unfavorable weather.
The shot, dubbed Diablo, was
rescheduled for 4:40 a.m. (PDT)
today.
The AEC said strong winds
Saturday would have carried the
fallout into a populated area
lorth east of the test site.
The test had been set for Fri
day but was postponed 24 hours
for technical reasons. The Diablo
shot originally was scheduled on
Jrne 28 but it failed to go off
because of a power failure.

Trading picked up to the most
active pace since the week end
ed April 26. Daily average vol
ume of 2,649,136 shares com
pared with a daily average of
2,314,355 shares last week.
Traders talked inflation but
guided their market operations
on more tangible things such as
better business ahead, a revis
ion upward for auto output this
year, talk of a record year for
steel, high energy fuels a
new industry rising to a billion
dollars in a decade prospect
of a natural gas bill this year,
and statements by Secretary
George M. Humphrey that the
economy is free of the excesses
that wrecked us in 1929.
Income Fixtd
. Railroads outperformed the
other major groups. With their
income fixed by rules of the In
terstate Commerce commission
the rails are considered any
thing but an inflation hedge.
Neither are the utilities and they
enjoyed good markets from time
to time and gaineds lightly on
the week. The Street pinned
hopes on a freight rate increase
for the roads and hoped faintly
the natural gas bill would pass
by a wider margin than it met in
the House committee.
Olin Mathieson provided the
romance in its high energy fuel
which it is producing for the
Air Force. It is constructing a
$36 million plant to turn out the
fuel, a product of borax found
in vast quantities in California
and Nevada.

Olin ran up a new high and
then met profit-taking. The big
borax producers U. S. Bor

pricewise was Superior Oil of
California which sold at a new
record high on Friday at $1,850
a share. That was a gain of $155

at $1,830 up $135. That stock
sold as low as $1,210 earlier

Asiatic Flu Leaves
200 III in Iowa
Iowa City, Iowa W An epi
demic that felled 200 youths at
a religious conference at Grin-
nell college has been diagnosed
as the same disease that swept
the Far East taking hundreds of
lives.
Dr. Albert McKee, University
of Iowa, said Friday tests have
shown the disease to be Asiatic
flu. The mild outbreak at Grin
nell was the second known ap
pearance of the disease among
the civilian population in the
United States.
The first .epidemic developed
on the University of California
campus in the last week of June,
shortly before the Grinnell con

Grave of Headless, Handless Man
Believed Crabb Still Unmarked
By DANIEL T. GILMORE
United Prtu Correspondent
Portsmouth, England OR
The headless, handless corpse of
a man officially believed to be
intrepid British Frogman Com-1
mander Lionel (Buster) Crabb
lies today in a still unmarked
grave on the shores of this busy
naval base.
There has been no time yet to
erect a tombstone over the fresh
ly covered mound. And few peo
ple, including his relatives, know
what to put on it.
If the body below is Crabb's
no one knows or is saying
precisely when he died or how
or why he died.
One school of thought is that
the "real" Crabb is still alive.
This is the school that classi
fies the body in the grave as
"the man who never was" a
phony planted by Russian sub
marines. . .
But there is no official encour
agement for this, or any theory,
regarding Crabb. And there
probably never will be. British
officials are close-mouthed about
their secrets. And in this case,
even they might not have all the
answers yet.
Last Dire
The story of Commander Li
onel Crabb, 46 years old when he
made his last known dive more
than a year ago in this harbor of
treacherous tides, outdoes any
intricate exercise of the most im
aginative fiction writer.
It is a story that inevitably
makes the full circle and comes
back again to a classic nowhere.
One thing is certain: Crabb's
last mission rocked the British
government and had repercus
sions in Moscow and Washing
ton. Commander Crabb, a war-time
hero who in hazardous underwa
ter missions de-mined allied
ships as fast as the Germans
and Italians attached mines to
them, was last seen alive here
in Portsmouth at the Sallyport
Hotel on April 19, 1956.
That was the day he checked
out of the somewhat seedy ho
tel with a mysterious "Mr.
Smith." The hotel register pages
with their names was later torn
out by British C.I.D. agents.
Soriet Cruiser
In the harbor were the big So
viet cruiser Ordzhonikidze and
two escorting Red Fleet destroy
ers. They had just brought So
viet Party Chief Nikita Khrush
chev and Premier Nikolai Bul
ganin on a state visit to Britain.
Then there was silence until
Moscow sent a querulous note to
the British government a few
days later:
"During the stay of Soviet
warships in Portsmouth, at 7:30
hours on April 19," it said, "sea
men on board the Soviet ships
observed a frogman floating be
tween the Soviet destroyers.
"The frogman, who wore a
black lightweight diving suit
with flippers on his feet, was
seen on the surface of the water
for one to two minutes, and
then dived again alongside the
destroyer Smotryashchy. . ."
The' Admiralty, which controls
all official British frogmen in
cluding the frogman training
school here in Portsmouth, in
sisted Crabb was not working
for it at the time.
Yet it was the Admiralty
which first announced on April
28 last year that Crabb was
"missing and presumed dead."
Persistent questioning in Par
liament on what made the Ad
miralty "presume" Crabb's
death if the admiralty didn't
know what he was doing brought
no answer.
Nothing further developed un
til a headless, handless body
dressed in a black frogman's suit
was washed up at Chichester
Harbor near hear a month ago.
An inquest June 26 after 59
minutes deliberation, ruled that
the body was Crabb's.
"I am satisfied the remains
found were those of Command
er Crabb," Chief Coroner George
Bridgman said.
One last bizarre note: At
Crabb's funeral here, Crabb's
swordstick re-appeared mysteri
ously. It came in a cardboard
box. Inside was a spray of white
carnations and a card with an in
scription in French, taken from
the sword of St. John of Arc.
It said: "It was there at the
fight so it is fitting it should be
there at the glory."
Sagittarius Is Visible in
Southern Milky Way Area
By FAY BENTLEY
Low in the southern Milky
Way, to the left or east of The
Scorpion, lies a constellation
known from ancient days as
Sagittarius the Archer. Accord
ing to legend this star group rep
recents Chiron the Centaur, a
creature half man and half
horse, that is holding a drawn
boy with an arrow aimed
straight at the heart of The
Scorpion.
Most of the Centaurs were
rough mannered, quarrelsome,
and always ready to fight. But
the Noble Centaur, Chiron, was
different from the others. He
was a kindly tutor who had in-
the Scorpion. The stars forming
the Archer lie to the left or east
of Scorpius in the Milky Way.
First look for the short handled
Milk Dipper, so-called because
the Milky Way runs through it.
This Dipper, tilted to the
right or west from the perpen
dicular is hanging cup down
ward. Four stars form the bowl
and one the short handle of this
asterism which makes up part of
Sagittarius.
Triangle of Stars
After locating the Milk Dip
per notice the triangle of three
stars to the right or west of the
imperfect rectangle that repre
sents the bowl or cup of the Dip-
structed many of the Grecian per Combine the Milk Dipper
heroes, including Aesculapius.
Long Journey
Returning from a long jour
ney after accomplishing one of
his Twelve Labors, Hercules
entered the cave of one of the
Centaurs who offered him food,
but stated that the cask of wine
was hidden and could not be
opened until Bacchus, god of
mirth, came to visit. But Her
cules was insistant.
"What will Jupiter say when
he hears that you re'used wine
to a thirsty traveler?" he asked.
The Centaur, feeling that the
gods of hospitality should be
honored as well as Bacchus, fi
nally opened the cask. As the
pleasant odor drifted out of the
cave, other Centaurs quickly en
tered and' began drinking the
wine. Soon they became like
wild creatures, and forgetting
the rites of hospitality and that
Hercules was an old friend, at
tacked their guest. One Centaur
boldly aimed an arrow at Her
cules, who shot in return, acci
dentally killing Chiron, the
Noble Centaur.
Overcome with Remorse
Overcome with remorse, the
brave young man prayed to Ju
piter for help. Taking Chiron to
heaven, the ruler of the gods
placed the Noble Centaur in the
sky as the beautiful sumjner
constellation, ? Sagittarius the
Archer.
To locate Sagittarius look di
rectly south about 9 p.m. "and
find the sparkling red star, An
with this triangle and a perfect
teapot is formed.
The cup of the Dipper is the
handle of the teapot, the trian
gle forms the spout and the one
star forming the handle of th
Dipper is the top of the teapot.
Many people always think of
this constellation as. The Tea
pot, but, like the Milk Dipper,
the Teapot is only part of Sagit
tarius the Archer.
Dipper Forms Chest
By employing the imagination
and the stars scattered around
The Teapot, the Centaur, a horse
with human head and shoulders,
holding his hands a drawn bow
and arrow may be distinguish
ed. The cup of the Milk Dipper
forms the chest and the stars
just above the cup the head of
this strange creature. He is rid
ing towards the west with the
arrow pointed in the direction
of The Scorpion
This area of the heavens is
filled with objects of greatest
interest. Faint hazy patches of
light visible to the naked eye in
dicate distant star clusters. This
region also contains dark nebu
lae or masses of cosmic dust and
gas. Here, too. the Milky Way
is most brilliant.
As we look towards Sagitta
rius the Archer, we are gazing
towards the center of the huge
mass of billions of stars that we
call the Milky Way galaxy and
out beyond to the opposite rim,
and therefore through the great
est masses of stars possible with-
tares, known as the "heart" of ' ing this galactic system
