Try and Stop Me
By BENNETT CERF-
T7LLI0T PAUL, when working on a Boston newspaper in
LJ his salad days, excitedly proclaimed that he had figured
cut a brand-new gimmick for a murder mystery: the victim
" to Destao&ed to
death with an icicle. Of
course, by the time the
.police arrived, there
. would be no trace left of
1 a weapon.
: Paul's editor quenched
his enthusiasm by citing
three previously pub
lished whodunits in which
.exactly the same device
..had been employed. For
Weeks thereafter Paul's
mates on the city desk
hummed "With An Icicle
Built for Two." everv
time he entered the office. Paul quit, and moved to Paris,
. where he took an office on the first landing of the Eiffel
Tower. "It's the only place in town," he explained, "where
I can't see this hideous edifice from my window."
..
An executive in a Madison Avenue ad agency recently was
elected a vice-president, but he vetoed the notion of sending
out a publicity note about his promotion. Asked why, he ex.
plained modestly, "Everybody. thinks I'm president."

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
Slogans in the news:
In Africa:
WHITE MAN, GET OUT! !
In Cuba:
AMERICANS, GET OUT! !
QNE wonders what would
" happen if both of these
' commands were rigidly obeyr
ed. It's hard to say. It's just
possible that it might be bet
ter for everybody concerned.
WEW horizons in the news:
' 1. Overweight people can
prolong their life expectancy
by reducing as much as 20
per cent.
2. Young animals have
some mysterious and potent
quality that can be transfer
red to older animals (human
beings are animals, you
know) to slow the aging pro
cess. TJOTH of these thesis
(a
thesis is a position or
proposition which some per
son advances and offers to
maintain by argument) are
based on experiments on rats.
The first experiment was
rather simple. The investiga
tors took two sets of aging
rats. To one set, they gave
all the food they could eat.
To the other set, they gave
only HALF as much food as
they wanted. The rats that
ale only half as much as they
wanted lived 20 per cent
longer.
Experiment No. 2 was more
complex. They took an old
rat and a young one. Inci
sions were made along their
sides and they were joined
by skin and muscle, some
what after the manner of
Siamese twins. Through this
junction the animals exchang
ed blood and other body
fluids. Whenever a set of
these twins died, they were
dissected.
The disections revealed that
the older rat had GOT
YOUNGER.
rrtHE experimenters don't
- propose that if you want
to stay younger longer you
join yourself in a Siamese
twin operation with a young
er person. They go farther
than that.
They theorize that this
"mysterious and potent qual
ity" that apparently was
transfused from the younger
rat to the older rat can be
identified and isolated and

then SYNTHESIZED. (Syn
thesis is the art or process of
making or "building up" a
compound by the union of
simpler compounds or of its
elements-such as the syn
thesis of water from hydro
gen and oxygen.)
So
If and when comes the time
when this mysterious and po
tent quality transmitted from
the younger rat to the older
rat is synthesized and made
commercially available and
there arrives the dreaded mo
ment when you're beginning
to FEEL OLD, you'll simply
go down to your doctor and
get a shot of the stuff.
TTMMMMMMMM.
Maybe Ponce de Leon
had something after all. His
spring of eternal youth might
have contained an accidental
synthesis of this "mysterious
and potent quality." ,
WHO'S doing all this ex
Derimental stuff?
' Well, it's reported frorn San
Francisco, where the Fifth In
ternational Congress of
Gerontology, is in session.
(Gerontology, incidentally, is
the study of aging processes.)
Ain't science wonderful?
Four Persons Slain
By Pasco Gunman

In Boat Tragedy
Stamford. Conn. (UPD The
bodies of a man and a girl
were recovered today from
Long Island Sound, where a
14-foot motor boat hit a reef
and capsized with six persons
aboard. -
The two bodies were not
immediately identified. But
the girl was believed to have
been Judy Grant, 16, Tor
rance, Calif.
Judy, her mother, Vilma,
36, stepfather, Hugh, 43, and
uncle, Thomas Grant, 40, Dar
ien, Conn., vanished under the
rough waters Wednesday
when the boat hit a rock
about two miles from shore.
Girls Picked Up
Judy's twin sister, Jean,
and another sister, Janice, 13,
were picked up by a passing
yacht more than four hours
after the tragedy. They
watched in horror as the oth
ers went under.
The yacht Redwing owned
by TV entertainer Gary
Moore rescued the two sisters.
Their father, Frank J. Ma
kowski, Central Islip, N.Y.,
was en route to Stamford to
care for the girls, who had
taken their stepfather's name
when the family moved to
Torrance, Calif. He and Mrs.
Grant were divorced about
seven years ago, he said.
The two girls were rescued
by Robert Bendick, a tele
vision producer who had bor
rowed Moore's 39-foot sloop
for a vacation cruise.
"We couldn't do anything,"
Janice sobbed. "We watched
and we couldn't do anything."
The girls told the Bendicks
they had seen their mother,
sister and uncle lose their
grips on the overturned
motorboat and disappear in
the turbulent waters nearly
a mile offshore.
The girls' stepfather tried
to swim to shore in a despera
tion move to seek assistance
after their tiny craft struck
a submerged reef, split open
'lid overturned. He dis
appeared. The accident occur
red Wednesday afternoon. The
rescued girls, near exhaustion
and suffering from shock, had
been clinging to the prow of
the boat for four hours when
Bendick, returning from the
Cape Cod, Mass., area;' heard
a faint cry.
Pulled Them Aboard
"I turned the sloop," he
said. "We saw the overturned
boat and the two girls cling
ing to it. They were hanging
on the orow. How they man-
need to stav there for. four
hours I will never know.
"We tossed them a rope

Edwards AFB, Calif. - (UPD -An
attempt by the rocket
powered X15 on the world's
altitude record was cancelled
today after the craft was car
ried aloft beneath the wing
of a jet bomber.
Lack of fuel pressure just
35 seconds before drop was
blamed for the cancellation
and the plane was returned
to earth still lashed beneath
the bomber.

After the rescue, Bendick

Remarks Bring Cheers
His reference to priests as
"traitors who have put them
selves at the service of im
perialism" and to "those who
have tried to take refuge in
the temples to combat the rev
olution" brought wild cheers
from the group of Cuban sug

The Cuban national anthem
