"With two swimmers killed by sharks along the coast this summer, this was a natural and I proved as a publicity man that people are gullible. "I went to Catalina island last week. The next day some friends on a pleasure boat' of fered me a ride back here. I radioed on the way back that I caught a 750-pound shark 12 feet long with a wrist watch in its stomach. "Big joke. Ha, ha. Not real ly funny for me though," said Saint Dennis. "When we dock I'm run crazy-by news people wanting a look-see at the watch. . "Man, there is no watch. So I find this jeweler. Give him a plug, please. What a sweet guy. He gave me ' several pieces of an old watch. I bat ted them with a hammer and soaked 'em in acid to make them look right, see?"

A - WadMty, July 1, 1959 Cost To Develop Atomic Plane Said $10 Billion Washington - (UPD - The De fense Department's research chief has told Congress th eventual cost of developing an atomic-powered plane would soar to at least $10 billion and possibly much more. This huge estimate came to light in hitherto secret testi money on Air Force construc tion appropriations, made public today by a House ap propriations subcommittee. Spending to Total Billion In the government book keeping year which began to day, the administration plans to spend about $150 million on nuclear-powered aircraft, This would bring total spend ing on the project to about $1 billion over a period of sev eral years, f Dr. Herbert F. York, direc tor of defense research and engineering, implied to the subcommittee, however, that the outlay so far has been just a drop in the bucket compar ed to what the total would be. - "If anything is to be done in the way of application of nuclear energy tox flight, it will not be done for less than 410 billion or some multiple thereof," York said. "That is going to be very expensive, if done." 'Crash' Bases Refused His estimate reflected a ma jor reason for the administra tion's refusal thus far to put the program on a "crash" ba sis, as demanded by some congressional critics who pre dict Russia will put a nuclear powered ' plane into the - air before this country does. ,. York appeared June 8 dur ing closed hearings on the ad ministration request for ap propriations totaling $1,563, 000,000 for construction by the armed services. Hooded Rapist Hunted in Miami Miami - (UPD - Residents of northwestern Miami were warned to fee on the lookout today for a hooded rapist who has attacked three wom en in their homes in the last seven weeks. Sheriff Tom Kelly said there was no cause for gener al alarm but advised that at least "ordinary precautions" should be taken when stran gers are seen. Authorities Tuesday con firmed reports of the three rapes. They had been keeping the case secret in an effort to trap the rapist. The first attack occurred about seven weeks ago; the latest was last Friday. Each was made in the early morn ing hours by a stocky man masked in' a close-fitting white hood with slits for eye holes. I ", " In each instance, the rapist carefuly bound his victim's husband, lowered him gently to the floor and blindfolded him before attacking his wife. None of the victims report ed seeing a weapon, Kelly said. But the intruder threat ened to use both a gun and knife which he said he car ried concealed in his clothing. All three victims described the rapist as gentle. They said he thanked them after attack ing them in the presence of their husbands. " .

(UPD-Dirt is a dirty word to the men who fire America's Trussiles. - Like the legendary grem lins that made things difficult for World War 11 bomber crews, dirt can be an enemy to U.S. rocketeers almost as powerful as the Russian mis sile arsenal. , A speck of dirt so small that it cannot be seen by the naked eye can, if it gets into the fueling system of a liquid fueled rocket, throw it hun dreds of miles off course. Tiny flecks of grime in the wrong place can , cause delicately-balanced fueling sys tems to go haywire and could ruin, the best-laid plans to shoot the moon, put a satellite into orbit or fire an ICBM. Solution To Problem Russian Claims on Blood Use Rejected , Denver-(0PB-Russian ; claims that blood from corpses can be used successfully in trans fusions were poo-pooed during a recent postgraduate course at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Dr. J. J. Griffitts, Miami, Fla., blood specialist, said the latest evidence proves "that we are not likely to grow out of the need , for blood, dona tions healthy people are still going to have to be blood donors for sick ones." Griffitts called Russian reports- on use of blood from cadavers "just another of their publicity claims." .The freezing of rare blood types for future use was term ed "interesting but impracti cal" by Griffitts. He said one objection Is that the proced ure for melting the frozen blood is extremely ; compli cated. ' The reserves of natural gas in the U.S. were set at from 70 to 100 trillion cubic feet, according to the estimates made by the national re sources planning commission.

Our address is still 214 West Main has been for almost A small group of scientists in Tulsa think they have the solution to this problem. They work for the Dow Chemical Company's Powell Division, which - has been in business primarily to serve the petro leum industry in this Oil Capi tal. These scientists clean mis siles. But they go about it a lot more thoroughly than you do when hosing ' down the family car on a Sunday. Using both extra-strong solvents and ultrasonic sound waves, the chemists have de vised ways to get missiles and their parts far cleaner than previously thought possible. "We have devised methods to clean a missile so clean you could put it in a hospital op erating room and it would be the cleanest thing in there," said J. P. Engle, a laboratory group leader. "Our cleaning removes all dirt particles bigger than .004 of an inch," Engle said. Do well makes use of the ul trasonic cleaning techniques recently developed. High-frequency sound waves, instead of soap or detergents, are turned on and the dirt is knocked right off in a fraction of a second. Such cleaning methods are used by Dowell at Cape Ca naveral, Fla., at the Redstone Arsenal, Huntsville, Ala., and at xVandenberg Air Force Base, Calif. Cleaned Boiler Scale . Dowell got into the business 20 years ago by cleaning scale from boilers and just recent ly worked its way up to mis siles. "This method of cleaning is leading the way for other us es," Engle said. "Hospitals are now starting to use ultrasonic cleaning for surgical tools and equipment." The use of . solid-fuel mis siles may cut down some on the need for making missiles surgically-clean, since solid fuel missiles are somewhat simpler in construction. But as long as liquid-fuel missiles are used, cleanliness will be the watchword. there are only smen.
