Nigerian Student Quits Video Quiz; Said 'Too Nervous' New York 0? The 33-year-old son of an African tribal chieftain Tuesday night gave up a television quiz show opportu nity to add 564,000 to his S64, 000 winnings by answering one question because of "embarrass ing" revelations about his two marriages and medical educa tion. Theophilug Adepoju Aderon mu, a Bible expert, settled for the money he won in previous appearances on the CBS-TV pro gram, "The 64,000 Question," explaining "comment which I read in the newspapers" about his personal life made him too nervous to go on. Secretly Married The Nigerian tribesman re ferred to the discovery: That he was secretly mar ried April 30 in Chicago to Kath erine McGreen and several weeks later offered to remarry his first wife, Fay, when she sued him for non-support. That the U.S. Immigration service was "actively" investi gating him for overstaying his student visa. That he flunked out of the University of Louisville Medical school two years ago without passing a course, did not attend classes for two years and is not a student at the University of Chicago as he claimed. 'Very Grateful Aderonmu told the television audience he could use his $64,- 000 to further my medical edu cation" and was "very grateful for your kindnesses." Also on the program, a New York, high school senior, John Peronnet, 18, showed he was a good man at answering ques tions about space travel by cor rectly answering the $16,000 question, and Rosamond Comp ton, Chatham, Mass., passed the $8,000 mark in the Victorian era category.

Kiin ttdford o Women Shoppers Better Than Men Chicago OP) A sales and ad vertising consultant says women are more sensible shoppers than men. James D. Woolf, in an article in Advertising Age, said women definitely are not "flibbertigib bets." "On the contrary," he said, "female behavior in the market place is far less frivolous and far more hardheaded than that of the male. "It has been my personal ex perience, both as a retail clerk and as a store owner, that women as a class are canny buyers and expert judges of value. Men are less proficient, as a rule, except as buyers in their business or professional capacity. Even in the case of such everyday contrivances as auto mobiles and television sets, few men have any real technical knowledge." Woolf said the housewife "is the buyer of practically every thing that pertains to the fam ily needs food, furnishings, wearing apparel (including much of her husband's), utensils and drugstore supplies." The family car, the refrigera tor, kitchen stove, freezer and furnace are more important to the wife than to the husband, he said. "She selects merchandise with an expert technical eye because she usually is a 'manufacturer' in her own right," Woolf said. "She is a practicing seamstress and cook, a processor, canner of foods, a beauty expert, the fam ily's first-aid physician and a handy Mrs. Fix-It. "So she buys a dress of a vacuum cleaner or a leg of lamb as knowingly as a carpenter buys a saw or a farmer a binder." Size of Proton, Neutron Measured, Physicist Claims Stanford, Calif OP! A nuclear physisist reported today he was measured the size of the proton and the neutron, two tiny par ticles found in the nucleus of the atom. The physicist, Dr. Robert Hof stadter of Stanford University, said they measure .0000000000 006 of an inch. It would take 15 thousand billion of them, their arms linked like chorus girls, to make an inch. And another physicist answ ered the layman's question: "What is the importance of measuring the size of a proton or a neutron?" I Dr. I. I. Rabi of Columbia University pondered for a mom ent and then said with a slight smile: "It is curiosity that sep arates man from the animals. Other creatures are extremely skilled at making a living, at mating, at caring for their young. "But they know nothing about the world they live in, or next to nothing, and more important, they are not curious about it. Only man wants to know. "Now it is believed that pro tons and neutrons are funda mental particles from which everything else including our selves is made. "If you take the human view point, if you want to know about the world you live in, then it is of great importance to find out as much as possible about pro tons and neutrons." The discussion took place at a conference on nuclear sizes and density distributions. Hundreds of scientists are attending from all parts of the world, includ ing Russia. Hofstader told the confer ence he measured the size of the proton and neutron by shoot ing electrons through the nuclei of atoms. He and his colleagues used Stanford's linear acceler ator to do the job. SWINDLERS ARRESTED Iserlohn, Germany HP) Two members of an international gang of painting swindlers have been arrested and charged with selling copies of old masters, German police said today. Police said Emanuel De Niewe, alias Pimental, 49, and Fredrich Kohn, 50. were arrested while trying to sell a collection of fake paintings to an Iserlohn dealer who be came suspicious. According to police, the two men had been sought by Interpol, the interna tional police organization, for several years and had collected about $1,500,000 in six years working their racket. Field Director Talks At Society Meeting James Jack Jr., a field director for the American Humane asso ciation, spoke at a meeting of board members of the Southern Oregon Humane Society at the Medford hotel this week. Jack is one of four field di rectors who cover all sections of the country for the AHA, whose headquarters are at Den ver, Colo. He said that problems are basically the same through out the country. Wherever com munity interest warrants he helps groups to form new hu mane societies. He spoke of legislation now pending for more humane laws in the slaughter of animals. "Strides have been made," he said, "and if the bill passes next year, it ill affect 90 per cent of the animals slaughtered in the United States. In closing he said that he had visited the Southern Oregon Hu mane Society and that its size and cleanliness created a very favorable impression. Annual Dividends On Insurance Set Seattle Regular annual divi dends of $262,000,000 will be paid to 5,300,000 World War I and II GI insurance policyhold ers next year, the Veterans ad ministration has announced. The dividends will be paid as near as possible to the anni versary date of each policy dur ing calendar year 1958. For ex ample, if a policy was issued any June 1, the anniversary date will be June 1, 1958. The dividend declarations do not include the nonparticipating post-Korea type of GI insurance since the law makes no provision for dividend payments on those policies. World War I and II policy holders who will share in the dividends are requested not to inquire in advance about pay ments so as not to delay the pro cessing time. The two dividend declarations are: 1. National Service Life Insur ance (NSLI), which originated in World War II, $240,000,000 payable to approximately 5,000, 000 policyholders. 2. U. S. Government Life In surance (USGLI), which origin ated in World War I, $22,000, 000 payable to approximately 300,000 policyholders.

British Freighter Said in Trouble Honolulu (IP) The British freighter Wear Breeze reported today she is in distress 1,000 miles northeast of Honolulu. The U. S. Coast Guard report ed the ship had a 12-degree list to port, owing to a shif ting of her cargo. The last message from the ship was optimistic, although the message expressed fears that a further sudden shift in the careo could cause her to capsize. The Coast Guard cutter Klam ath left ocean station November in mid-Pacific to go to the aid of the ship. At the time, the two vessels were 150 miles apart. The trouble developed during the week end when the ship listed 16 degrees. The captain jettisoned 200 tons of cargo and advised he did not need help. At noon Tuesday, the captain felt a severe lurch and renewed his call for aid. By Tuesday night, he had jetti soned 320 tons of lumber and planned to dump more today. He said the weather was good in the area. The ship carried 7,000 tons of lumber in her holds and 1,100 tons on her deck. She was en route from the Pacific Northwest to Singapore.
