learned of the hoax. .
"Man, I wanted in the
news," said the red-haired,
freckled faced Saint Dennis.
"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

"Big joke. Ha, ha. Not real

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?"
The watch pieces were
turned over to the sheriff's
department in Los Angeles
last Wednesday and many
hours were spent trying to
trace them to their supposed
victim-owner. -

Minneapolis The Minneso

a few 'tips to the senior citi

says will enable them to main
tain an active and happy life.
Associate frequently with
young people and try to un

the association urges.
Learn to delegate authority
to younger persons while at
the same time retaining the
power of judgment to temper
youthful enthusiasm. Develop
wide interests and broaden
your friendships to include
persons with different ways
of thinking.
Try not to think back to
"the old days" but rather look
ahead to the future. And re
member that the human mind
does not reach full maturity
until age 40 or so and doesn't
lose its sharpness very easily.

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. " .

Problem of Dirt in
Missile Operation
Believed Solved
' By MAC SEBREE
United Press International
Tulsa, Okla. (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,

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.
