St. Louis, Mo. Teddy Nadler, who won $264,000 on
tV e;uiz shows, disclosing he is applying for a job as a census
taker because he is broke:
"Z'y heard the census test I have to take is a tough one.
I hope I pai. I'd do all right if they asked for all the kings

thiasj like that."

Ottawa, 111. Illinois state police chief William Morris,
discussing the sex murders of three socially prominent
Chicago area women whose bodies were found at the mouth

badly there must have been at least two. H's the worst thing
I've seen in my 19 years as a policeman."

o Sourwood or sorrel tree,
(Oxydendrum arboreum).
The Sourwood or Sorrel
tree is a native woods tree
in Pennsylvania, Ohio. Indi
ana. southward to Florida,
Alabama, Louisiana, Arkan
sas; often in cultivation as far
north as Boston. It reaches its
largest size on the western
slopes of the Great Smoky
Mountains in Tennessee, up to
10 feet. In cultivation it is
one of the little, slender-
stemmed, dainty trees-beauti
ful at any season. The Sour
wood grows well in most, acid
soil. It's partial to shade, but
likes sun too. It is relatively
free from pests and diseases
It belongs with the heaths.
In spring the little trees are
beautiful in bronze-green foli
age; in late July and August
it bears long branching ra-
cemes of tiny bell-shaped
white flowers, remindful of
the lily-of-the-valley, and the
multitude of little bells sug
gest the tree's relationship to
the blossoming heather we see
in the florist shop.
After the flowers, come
downy, 5-celIed capsules, with
numerous pointed seeds. Its
late fall flowers, with scarlet
colored, peach-like, 3 to 8 inch
leaves, are very striking. The
capsule-like grayish fruits are
conspicuous in winter.
The leaves give the tree
its two common names: they
have a sour taste, resembling
that of the herbaceous sor
rels. Even in dead of winter
th twigs yield this refreshing
sap that flows through the
membraneous leaves in sum
mer. Many a temporarily lost
hunter in Southern woods,
quenchos his thirst by nibbling
young shoots of the sour-wood.
"It is the sole representa
tive of its genus in the world,
so far as botanists know."
From "Trees Worth Know
ing," by Rogers.
A specimen of this tree is
in the lawn at the Dr. Fred
Lorish residence, 830 Minne
sota St.
Streets for this tree are
Minnesota 40 to 50 ft.; Oland
er, 50 to 60 feet apart.
Sleel Report Said
Step To Justify
Price Increase
Pittsburgh - (UPD - The U.S.
Steel Corp. report criticizing
the high cost of labor is "an
attempt to justify future price
increases," United Steelwork
ers President David, J. Mc
Donald charged today.
Eleven pages of a 40-page
report by -the corporation
were devoted to labor and
employment costs problems.
McDonald said the USW
could "quarrel justifiably
with the corporation's esti
mates on employment costs."
Work Value Higher
"We can show that while a
sleelworker's wages rose only
in keeping with his produc
tivity, the value of an hour's
work to the corporation rose
by nearly 400 per cent since
1940," McDonald said.
He said the average price
of a ton of steel in 1940 was
$53.45 compared to $148.84 in
the first half of 1959. The
1940 ton took 20 hours to pro
duce while 20 years later the
time was cut to a fraction
above 11 hours.
McDonald said the steel in
dustry was paid $2.69 from
its customers for every hour
worked by the steelworkers
in 1940, compared to $10.72
an hour at present, an in
crease of 400 per cent.
Study Weather
From Satellite
Washington, (Science Serv-ice)-Before
the month is out,
two TV cameras in an Amer
ican satellite should be mak
ing unprecedented pictures of
the world's clouds and ad
vancing man's knowledge of
the weather.
The "weather eye," to be
launched by the National
Aeronautics and Space Admin
istration, is called Tiros I. It
is scheduled to be put into
orbit from Cape Canaveral
within a very short time. Its
TV cameras are to make pic
tures unprecedented in cov
erage. Weighs 270 Pounds
Pictures may be made in
the New World as far south
as the middle of South Amer
ica and as far north as Can
ada. The satellite will weigh
270 pounds and be 42 inches
in diameter and 19 inches
high.
A circular orbit 400 miles
above the earth is planned.
Solar cells will convert sun
light into electrical energy to
power the instruments.
The TV picture will be re
corded and later broadcast
when the satellite is over
ground stations equipped to
re-record the pictures. At the
same time the ground sta
tions will also instruct the
satellite on when to take pic
tures during its next orbit.
One of the TV cameras is
to take pictures of an area
800 miles wide. The other
will concentrate on a 65-mile
wide area within the larger
picture area.
Transmit for 90 Days
Launched by a Thor-Able
vehicle, the satellite should
have an orbit inclined about
50 degrees to the equator. It
will transmit for 90 days.
Then ground signals will stop
the transmission.
The first Tiros will not
contain infrared detectors,
but Tiros II, planned for later
in 1960, will contain these
detectors.
The two satellites, which
will spin, will be important
experiments to further man's
understanding of the weather
he talks about but can do
little to change-as yet.
The world's tallest man
made structure is a television
tower reaching 1,610 feet at
Roswell in New Mexico.
