KENNETH R. LAWSON
Desperado Sought
Kenneth Lawson,
Prison Escapee,
Makes FBI List
, Washington - (LTD - Ken
neth Ray Lawson, a menacing
psychopathic desperado, has
Deen piacea on uie im uai
I of 10 most wanted criminals.
' Lawson, who has been mck
'jiamed "Kenno" and "Cigar
' Man" by the underworld, is
ities as "a shrewd, daring and
very dangerous criminal."
.He has been the subject of
Ja nationwide search since he
and four companions escaped
ficom Tennessee state prison at
(Nashville last April 22.
SDesperalely Violent
-f ! While Lawson is essentially
J a" highly accomplished burg
lar, the FBI warned that he
Si .'has threatened the lives of
J police, carries carefully con
' eealed hand guns and has be-
j Lome desperately violent
when cornerea.
The 32 - year - old fugitive
who often sports a crew-cut
has been diagnosed as "a psy
chopathic personality with a
superior intelligence," the FBI
said.
While in the service, Law-
son served two years in a dis
iplinary barracks for deser
tion and escaped and was dis
honorably discharged from
the Air Force.
He had a police record in
ML Clemens, Mich., being ar
rested at Limestone, Tenn., in
August, 1956, for the burg
lary of a hardware store.
t While his sentence was being
appealed, Lawson and an ac-
a supermarket in the midst
V. of a burglary.
J, Lawson's daring was exem
y plified by a previous break
f out from Brushy Mountain
, cording to the FBI, he was
f halted from scaling a prison
4 wall by a guard"s gun fire,
but broke across the yard
through a hail of bullets to
gain freedom over a second
wall.
Recaptured, he made h i s
subsequent escape from the
Nashville penitentiary
through cunning.
He and his companions built
a false wall in a railroad
car in the prison grounds and
were transported to freedom.
Lawson was last spotted in
El Paso, Texas, on Aug. 24
when he successfully eluded
. a police pursuit.
The newcomer to the most
wanted list is a native' of Es-
serville, Va. He stands be
: tween 5 foot 10 inches to 6
feet and weighs from 170 to
185 pounds. He has a medium
build, light brown hair, rud

Schrunk wants Portland vot

should be built at the city's
Bull Run water system.
Schrunk, in his annual re

also suggested two other bal
lot measures. One would "up
date" the city's charter and
the other would give Port
land standby authority to fi
nance and operate a mass
transit system if the need
arises.
Schrunk also endorsed a
proposal to appear on the
May primary ballot which
would increase the city's tax
base by $3 million.

Don't Add To Rabbit's
Troubles By Using Ears
As Handles
Recorded history never
bothers its scholastic., mind
about such silly things as who
that misguided individual was
who first advocated the stupid
idea that a live rabbit was
supposed to be picked' up by
the ears.
Probably it was the same
person, or one like him, who
maintained that everything on
the face of this earth, animal,
vegetable or mineral, was
placed here on . this ' nearly
round spinning globe especial
ly for the benefit of man.
Of course, the same indi
vidual, as stupid as he was,
never followed up his idea
and tried lifting a mule the
same way," apparently over
looking the fact this creature's
ears are also out of propor
tion with the body, if
It's Cruel
Picking and lifting a live
rabbit up by the ears is. cruel.
It hurts the rabbit as much as
if someone picked a man up
the same way.
When in flight, which oc
curs constantly in rabbit life,
this animal must be aiert and
ready to "run for its life" at
the first sign of danger. It
must always be able o hear
what is going on behind it,
for that's where the pursuer
is. So the rabbit's ears are
laid back on the shoulders in
such a position that thy pick
up the sounds from the rear..

House flies are never both

their body chemistry is inca
pable of making it or any of
the related compounds. This
is the reverse of human body
chemistry, which makes it
readily whether or not. it is
contained - in the diet. But
whatever cholesterol the fly
gets, it eats. .
No Weakness Found .
Monroe investigated to see
if this could be a , weakness
in the house fly - a weakness
that people could use-.against
it.
Despite the efforts of many
decades, science has yet to
find a weakness in the animal
which could be exploited for
long as an anti-fly weapon.

animal's ears are raised, there
by becoming more direction
al,' tuned to sounds . coming
in from the ; front or sides.
Fortunatey, the rabbit has
one single defense against
complete annihilation. This
one accomplishment alone has
kept the race of rabbits more
or less plentiful down through
the years, in spite of persecu
tion by a wider range of pre
dators than has any other an
imal. This factor is its phe
nomenal ability to reproduce
itself.
Of all the game animals in
this country, the rabbit is the
most universally distributed.
In places like Australia,
where few of his natural en
emies are present, the rabbit's
numbers have reached almost
uncontrollable proportions, as
example of, - man's bungling
with the laws of checks and
balances.
Without these natural con
trols, some species of animal
actually can become an en
emy even unto itself.
The rabbit folk ocupy a
little-to-envied position in the
world of living animals, for
Nature evidently intended it
to be food for a host of preda
tors, great and small. It's all
the more reason why we, who
are always a hundred times
large and stronger than he,
should not be so stupid as to
add to his multitudinous
troubles by picking the poor
little guy up by his ears.
(Released by The Register and
Tribune Syndicate, 1959)
He put newly emerged adult
flies into screen cages and
fed them synthetic foods in
order . to know the precise
chemical nature of everything
they ate. Some flies had cho
lesterol, added to this richly
nutritional diet, others did
not. . '
When the flies began laying
eggs, the eggs were collected
and put on moist paper ' in
dishes. Both the eggs which
hatched into new flies and
those which turned out to be
sterile were counted.
The eggs of the flies which
had' cholesterol in their diet
turned out to be 82 to 96 per
cent fertile. The eggs of the
flies which ate no cholesterol
were only five per cent fer
tile. These fly-babies were
reared into egg-laying adult
hood, and . only about half I
their eggs were fertile. . '
No Effect on Egg-Laying
When flies which had been
getting cholesterol were de
prived of it, the hatching per
centage dropped at once, and
it kept, dropping sharply as
the cholesterol-deprivation of
the egg-laying flies continued.
When cholesterol was re
stored to their diet, the per
centage started going up
again and soon reached 83 per
cent.
Lack of cholesterol had no
effect on egg-laying itself -the
flies who got and who
didn't get' it, laid approxi
mately the same number, of
eggs. ' Monroe was impressed
that the harmful effect was
to the fertility of the egg. He
noted ' that even when the

that Vice President Richard
M. Nixon looks like a shoo-in
for the GOP presidential nom

der if President Eisenhower
will give him jobs to build
him up for the campaign next
fall.
As long as Gov. Nelson A.
Rockefeller of New York
looked like a rival to Nixon,
any presidential assignments
for the Vice President would
have been viewed with sus
picion as a breach of Eisen
hower's neutrality pledge.
- Since Rockefeller has bow

does to help Nixon now would
be regarded merely as a boost
to the prospective presidential
nominee of his own party.
Many Assignments
Eisenhower has given Nix

How this can be used

While there is no reason to
attribute a political motive to
the assignment to Russia, the
Vice President's climb in the
public opinion polls can be
dated from that trip last year.
The President seems to have
staked out the field of person
al diplomacy as his own for
this year with trips in the
works to the Western summit
meeting at Paris, to Russia
and to South America.
To Head Committee
Nixon has two assignments
now which might bring him
publicity. He was named by
the President to head a com
mittee to discourage racial
discrimination in employment
b y government contractors,
and the cabinet committee on
economic growth and price
stability.
Some Democrats felt that
the economic committee
would give Nixon a chance to
lay out an eye-catching do
mestic program of his own.
Its reports so far, however,
have failed to win much atten
tion. President Eisenhower's
year-end trip to Augusta was
his 26th to his Georgia holi
day retreat since he was elect
ed to the White House in 1952.

favorite vacation spot. While
