Your." makes its debut.
It'll be a courtroom drama,
but with a difference:
The lawyers on the show will
be real lawyers. The judge will
be a real judge. The courtroom
stenographer will be a real sten
ographer. And the jury will be
picked from the studio audience.

Baby Raccoon Fils
Purse, Feeds From
Tiny Doll's Bottle
By DOC QUIGG
United Press Correspondent
New York W If you ever
have to become foster parent to
a just-born raccoon here's a help
ful tip.
A red leather lady's purse
makes a fine incubator.
Also, a doll's baby bottle is
just fine for feeding a wee crit
ter that won't take more than
half an ounce at a time. A brand
new raccoon, by the way, is not
much biggek than a mouse and
has to be fed every two hours.
These items of pioneering re
search were gleaned by Mrs.
Mary Cafarelli, of the Bronx,
who had a two-hour-old raccoon
thrust upon her in an emergency
and took it home to raise.
Nothing New For Her
She had had some experience
previously in being a mama to
wild creatures. She had taken to
her home, in succession, a baby
starling, a month-old woodchuck,
and a two-day-old Chinese water
deer.
But none posed the problems
of the tiny raccoon, which is now
doing fine, thank you, and sport
ing the name of Daisy Crockett
II.
Mrs. Cafarelli is an assistant
to the Children's Zoo, a little in
stitution that nestles within the
immense confines of New York's
famous Bonx Zoo.
The newborn raccoon was
found in another part of the zoo,
apparently deserted by its
mother. ..
Borrows Pocketbook
Mrs. Cafarelli borrowed a
pocketbook a rather ancient
red leather one from a friend.
She put a hot water bottle, wrap
ped in cloths, inside and put the
raccoon cub, well swaddled, on
top of the bottle.
She got some doll baby-bottles
from her daughter, mixed a
formula of half water and half
evaporated milk, and was in
business.
The Children's Zoo previously
had a raccoon named Daisy
Crockett, so the new one has
been named Daisy II. It is not
two months old and will go into
the zoo s soon as it gets a little
more stanure.
Postage Stamp Was
109 Years Old July 1
Washington IP The U. S.
postage stamp was 110 years
old on July 1.
The first stamps, a five-cent
issue with a picture of Ben
Franklin and a 10-cent issue
with a picture of George Wash
ington, were sold in New York
City in 1847.
The Post Office department
said 24 billion postage stamps
will be sold this year.
Before 1847, postmasters mar
ked envelopes "paid" with pen
and ink or an ink stamp. They
also usually wrote the name of
the town from which the letter
was mailed and the date.
Some local postal officials of
the day developed distinctive
designs for their ink stamps.
These were known as "postmast
er's provisionals."
FAMILY GRADUATION
Worchester, Mass. OP Mr.
and Mrs. Alan Carlan, 27 and
26, respectively, received their
graduate decrees in physics from
Worcester Polytechnic Institute
at the same commencement.
act as a king of reporters during
each make-believe case.
No Scripts Planned
"What we're going to do is
make up theoretical cases the
first one will be a child custody
dispute," contined McKay.
"The actors will be briefed on
the basic situation and they'll
have conferences with their law
yers before the show goes on.
"But there'll be no script. Ev
erybody will be on his own once
the show goes on the air. I'll
adlib my part, too. We hope the
show will combine the best qual
ities of drama and the Kefauver
crime hearings."
The 30 - minute Monday-through-Friday
show won't fix
any time limit on its cases, ac
cording to McKay. A case will
be carried for a week, two weeks
or even longer if the lawyers
get involved in legal razzle
dazzle. CBS Auditioning Lawyers
The lawyers and judge will
be changed with each case. Thus
far, CBS has auditioned about
150 lawyers in this area in an
effort to turn up a batch with
camera appeal.
"They're fixing up a little
booth on stage for me they're
going to call the press room,"
said the 36-year-old McKay. "I'll
operate out of it or conduct in
terviews or even go in the
judge's chamber wherever any
thing seems to be cooking."
McKay believes "The Verdict
Is Yours" will shoot some juice
into after programming, pretty
much of a wasteland right now.
"And we think it's certainly
going to be different in its ap
proach than the regular run of
daytime shows once we get go
ing, we may really create quite
a stir."

Liberty Ship Is
Floating Hot Rod
Newport News, Va. opt A
ship building firm here has strip
ped down an old Liberty ship,
souped up her motor, and test
ed her in the harbor at more
than 18 miles an hour.
They call the SS John Ser
geant the "floating hot rod." The
Sergeant, a World War II ship
with special, gas turbine propul
sion installed, is passing other
L.ibty ships plodding along at
the usual 10 miles an hour.
The Federal Maritime Admin
istration is keeping close tabs
on the souped-up Sergeant and
three other ships which have
undergone similar conversions.
Their performances in commer
cial service will be exhibit A
when the FMA decides on wheth
er to provide greater speed for
the approximately 1,800 Lib
erty ships in the National De
fense Reserve fleet. The FMA
believes additional speed is nec
essary to reduce vulnerability
of the cargo carriers to submar
ine attack.
On her stack the Sergeant
wears a sign identifying her as
a gas turbine ship.
Agenjs Studying
Red Announcement
Washington W U.S. intelli
gence efforts redoubled Wednes
day to learn the truth behind the
Soviet claim to have fired an
mter-continental ballistic rocket.
Statements from highest eov-
ernment levels showed that so
far the govermnent doesn't
know what really happened.

claim could mean much or little.

ter Dulles said Tuesdav that the
Soviets neglected to mention
whether their rocket hit a large
or small target. He said U.S. in
telligence agencies would make
a careful study of the announce
ment.
Acting Defense Secretary
Donald A. Quarles said in care
fully worded statement that the
"immediate military signifi
cance of the so-called missile
race has been greatly exaggerated."
