Try and Stop Me
By BENNETT CERF
THE LATE President McCracken of Vassar College once
delivered a lecture in an Albany high school that
neither he nor the audience ever forgot. There were to be
accompanying lantern
slides on "Campus Life,"
but by mistake, the pic
tures put into the slide
box depicted scenes on a
big dairy farm near Vas
sar. Prexy fticCracken
opened his talk by say
ing, "I'd like you to lock
at a picture of Matthew
Vassar, who founded our
college in 1861." On to
the screen came a picture
of a great Holstein bull.
A roar went up. The em
barrassed McCracken clicked the signal, and began again,
"And here are some of our beautiful Vassar students." Out
came a herd of cows, climbing over each other in their haste
to get into green pastures.
By this time the audience was so hysterical that the poor
college president had to call off the speech. A howling mob
of high school boys and girls went tottering off to green
pastures of their own.
James Michener was reminiscing about the fabulous ovation
given to "South Pacific," based on his Pulitzer Prize winning
book, on its opening night. He said, "I wont to bed the night the
show opened a nobody, and awoke the next morning to find
Mary Martin and Ezio Pinza immortal!"

Wraps Taken From
Role of 'Black Box'
In Test Ban Talks
Washington (l!P - U. S. of
ficials have now removed
most of the wraps from the
celebrated "black box" which
has played a prominent role
in nuclear test ban talks with
Russia.
What emerges is not a black
box at all-although it started
out ns that-but a vault with
a floor space of perhaps 200
square feet.
The mysterious name has
been abandoned, and the de
vice now has the entirely pro
saic title of "unmanned seis
mic station."
President Kennedy and
Soviet Premier Nikita S.
Khrushchev recently exchang
ed letters about placing a
number of these stations in
the United States, Britain and
Russia to cheek against secret
underground nuclear tests.
Man, 26, Charged
With Intent To Kill
Stevenson, Wash. -WPD-Carl
Perkins, 26, was being held in
the Skamania county jail here
today on a charge of assault
with intent to kill. He is
charged in connection with
the wounding of his estranged
wife's parents at their home
at Willard, Wash., last Satur
day. Perkins, who was the object
of a widespread hunt, was
taken into custody Thursday
by the State Patrol.
The victim, Frank Morby,
50, and his wife, Bonnie, 56,
are recovering in a hospital at
White Salmon, Wash. Morby
was shot twice and his wife
was shot three times with a
pistol.
Hospital Doctors
On Strike in Italy
Rome -(UPD- Hospital doc
tors throughout Italy went on
strike today to back up de
mands for "radical reform"
of the hospital system, higher
pay, and an extension of re
tirement age from 65 to 70.
The doctors staged similar
strikes last year. They said a
bill approved by the govern
ment recently failed to satisfy
their demands.
Doctofs said they would
continue treating urgent
cases, taking care of birth and
death certificates, reporting
on infectious diseases and so
forth but would suspend rou
tine work.
Fishery Research
Program Proposed
Washington -IUP1I- A five
year program to provide up
to $25 million in federal funds
to help states develop fishery
resources was proposed today
by both East and West Coast
senators.
A bill to authorize the pro
gram was introduced by Sen.
E. L. Bartlett (D-Alaska) who
said up to $5 million could be
appropriated each year to help
tne states carry out commer
cial fishery research and de
velopment. Bartlett said he and several
of his colleagues had worked
on the legislation "for a num
ber of months."
The funds would be appor
tioned to the states on a
matching basis according to
the value of each state's fish
production.

Rep. Dellenback
Defends Cat Bill
Salem (UPD Rep. John Del
lenback (R-Medford) has come
to the defense of his cat bill.
The bill would permit coun
ties to control stray cats in
a manner similar to the one
now used to control stray
dogs.
Dellenback said his mail on
the subject indicates there is
some misunderstanding over
the plan. Ho stressed it does
not provide for licensing of
domestic cats.
"When over i.Wci' Jackson
county residents petition to
have something done about
hundreds of stray cats being
dumped along county roads
by thoughtless people, I think
tncy are entitled to a hear
ing," he said.
AEC Spending in
California Noted
Washington (UPD Expendi
tures in California by the
Atomic Energy Commission
may exceed $320 million dur
ing the fiscal year beginning
July 1, according to Rep.
Craig Hosmer (R-Calif.).
Hosmer, a member of the
Joint Committee on Atomic
Energy, . said Thursday more
than $280 million had been
budgeted for AEC operations
in California.
Spending on construction
will include $36 million for
the Stanford linear acceler
ator and $4.5 million is bud
geted for improvements and
additions at the Lawrence Ra
diation Laboratory in Berke
ley.
The number, location and
details of the stations is one
subject of U.S.-British-Soviet
test ban talks now going on in
New York.
Which Side First?
Which side first proposed
the original "black box" is a
subject of dispute. At any
rate, it came up at a confer
ence of international scien
tists in London last Septem
ber. As then discussed, it was
a box in which the West
would place seismic instru
ments which measure earth
tremors. The box was to be
sealed and the Russians were
to fly it to agreed locations
in the Soviet Union and re
turn it later to be opened and
the data read.
The trouble was that U. S.
government scientists feared
it would be theoretically possible-even
though vastly com-plicated-for
the Russians to
fly the box to the wrong area
of Russia and jobble it subtle
ly so as to reproduce the
normal earthquake data for
another area in which they
would be secretly testing.
What U. S. officials now
propose is a vault which the
Russians would build in a
tunnel or a hole in the
ground. International teams
would place in it six seis
mometers. Three of these
would measure earth tremors
traveling near the surface.
Three would measure those
traveling deep under ground.
Use Magnetic Tape
All would record the data
on a magnetic tape, which
would move at between one
tenth and one-hundredth of
an inch per second, and pos
sibly also on film.
The vault would have a
tamper-proof door, and inter
national teams would visit it
periodically to remove the
tapes for analysis.
Engineering the tape re
corders is one of two parts
of the vault which the United
States has not yet worked out
in detail. The other is the
power supply, which prefer
ably would be from power
lines but could be batteries,
propane gas generators or
radio isotope power units.
In recent talks Russia ap
parently has not spelled out
in detail what it has in mind
for an unmanned seismic sta
tion.
