NEW BOOKS 6NE HUNDRED YEARS AGO A. right, above, ii re produced the U.S. War Department poster ottering re- - wards tor the capture of President Abraham Lincoln's as sassin, actor John Wilkes Booth, and fellow-conspirators. It was issued just 100 yean ago on April 20, 1863, five days after Lincoln died. Curiously, Booth, the actual Itill- er, is not named in full anywhere in the poster. It may have been an oversight in the hasty printing or, more ' likely, the authorities assumed that everyone knew that , the fugitive was John Wilkes Booth. However, two ac complices, John H. Surratt and Daniel C. Harrold, were ,., named under the portions of the $ 1 00,000 reward offered jor them. Six days later Booth was trapped and shot to death in a burning bara on a farm near Port Royal, Va. Surratt fled to Europe, but was brought back in 1867. He was tried, but benefited from a hyig jury. He was indicted again but not tried. Ironically, one of the four persons hanged for complicity in the crime was his mother, Mrs. Mary E. Surratt. Lincoln was shot in Ford's Theater on Good Friday, April 14, 1863, while enjoying a popular comedy. At left is reproduced the playbill for that night's performance, a copy of which was found un der the President's seat after the assassin struck. The show was the last Washington performance of "Our American Cousin," starring the "distinguished manager ess, authoress and actress" Laura Keene.

By NEIL CORBETT United Press International SAN KfUNClSCO (UPII - Ev ery adult American remembers Hie 1941 tragedy of Pearl Harbor, but how many recall a disaster which rocked the Pacific naval base 30 months after the attack by Japanese bombers?

A brief military news release, restricted by the security censor-, ship ot those critical days, noted only that seven landing cralt were desloyed by (ire in one of the watery lingers ot Pearl Harbor on May 21, 1944. There was no mention that the vessels, LSTs I landing ship tanks) were jammed to the railing with combat troops and a lew civilians' making (inal preparations lor an assault on the Marianna Islands. There was no Indication in the news release that the fire was touched off by a violent explosion nor the Dames were fed for nearly 24 hours by shattering blasts of ammunition and high octane gasoline. from all branches of the service and some civilian workmen. First Blast Occurs The initial explosion occurred on a humid mid - afternoon. It shattered he LST a:3, which was moored with a half do2cn other vessels at pilings about 100 yards Irom the beach at West Loch. The force of the blast knocked men from their feet on adjoining ships and jarred a group of other LSTs moored about' 300 yards away In the anchorage and am munition-loading area. Some car ried LCTs Handing craft tanks) loaded in preparalion for the 4.000-mile voyage to the Japanese stronghold of Saipan.

Well-drained soil is essential for the successful home garden, the Department of Agriculture re ports. Too much water will ruin the garden. Good soil absorbs wa ter rather than letting it puddle on the surface. It's a sign a plot's fertile if it is covered with grass and weeds Most pjots. however, need extra fertilizer. Your local nurseryman ran lell you what you need After clearing your plot of bits of rock, wood and broken glass, squeeze a handful of dirt into a hall. If the ball of soil crumbles when you break it apart, the plot is ready for spading. As you spade, mix in the fer tilizer. For a 30-by-SO plot, use 50 to 60 pounds of a nitrogen, phn'sphonis potash mixture. Once the fertllirer is in. spade and fake the garden into furrows. Then gently make an indentation about half-an inch deep along the top of each furrow. This is wliere joii will plant the seeds. Before planting, read the direc tion!! on the seed package and .'allow them. Peace Corps Volunteers Trained At University ALBUQUERQUE. N.M. (UPII A steady stream of volun leers in the Peace Corps will "hit the field" this year after an intensive 12-week training pro gram for South American work, at the University of New Mexi co. The first two groups of M volunteers already are on the adobe-style campus In Albuquer que, which has been designated the first year-round training cen ter for the Peace Corps. They are destined for duty in Colombia and Branl. The man in charge of the $1.5 million program is Dr. Marshall R. Nasun, 46, a linguist who has served on (he corp' staff in Wash ington and directed field activities in Chile and Argentina. Peace Corps Director Sargeant Shriver, the President's brother-in law, calls Nason an "ambassador ex traordinary" lor the corps. Backbone Of Program Nason said his center at t'NM "forms the backbone of the pro gram for Latin America . . .which is the priority area tor the Peace Corps.

The fleeing men turn. bled for cover as pieces of jagged steel rained over an area near ly l.ooo yards in diameter. The panic increased, and the surging crowd pushed swimmers and non-swimmers alike into the water. The blast which tore through the third vessel matched those which had come before it, and added to the terror. It sprayed flaming gasoline, which spread swiftly across the water overtak ing swimmers before they could reach shore. Meanwhile, the fire had spread to the other group of ships moor ed far behind those shattered by the earlier blasts, and fire boats j from Pearl Harbor had moved into the holocaust.

With its protein coat removed. the "naked" genetic material of the polyoma virus becomes three times more infective after a min ute or two of boiling In water Dr. Weil reported. And its infec tivity remains at this high level lollowing 10 to 15 minutes of boil ing. Dr. Weil explained how viruses infect cells. "A virus has no means of loco motion of its own." he said. "In the animal it moves with the body tiuids. it it touches a cell wall, it can attach itself tn the mem brane. This is the first step in the process of infection. "In the second step," he added, "the virus enters the cell, possibly by engulfment by Ihe cell wall." Infection with Polyoma virus leads to development of many kinds of tumors in most organs of pigs, mice, rats and guinea pigs. Dr. Weil also said experimental evidence "indicates it is likely that Polyoma contains some im usual structural property, the na-j lure of which is unknown."
