Without Big Ben's boom ing voice, that part of London just isn't quite itself. What happened? Later investigation revealed that a workman who had been tinker ing with the big clock had gone off and left a paint brush in its innards. Big Ben is the great bell in the great clock in the clock tower of Hie Parliament building. It weighs tons, and was cast in 1858. a little more than a cen tury ago. The big clock that strikes the hours on Big Ben has four dials, each 22'z feet in diameter. The minute hands are 14 feet long and the hour hands arc nine feet long. The numbers around the dial are two feet high, and the minute spaces are a foot square. The big clock got off its routine once before and boomed forth thir teen strokes at midnight which upset Londoners no end. There's an old saying to the etlecl tnat every dog is entitled lo one bite. so one supposes that Big Ben ought to be entitled to two mechanical upsets in lOfi years. From Saigon: Diplomatic sources interpret the Vict Nam government s removal of gold and foreign exchange from Saigon banks to the PKlSMDbN- T1AL PALACE the other day as a precaution against a head-on clash with the U.S. over current policy. These sources indicated tlial the withdrawal of the gold and the currency was probably In preparation for shipping it out of the country. Where to? Well, probably to some place where the Big Shots can pick it up if and when thc-y have to skip the country. Question: Whv does a cal purr? Did you ever ask yourself that one? Well, West Germany's big Max Planck Research Institute has spent ten years trying to find the answer. Yesterday it said it thinks it has it.

"I hope to be in the United Stales between Oct. 15 and Oct 20' Tito told reorters who fol lowed him Saturday when he conducted U.S. Secretary Lu Iher Hodges on a tour of the Yugoslavian trade fair in Zagreb But Tito said his U.S. visit will be limited to a stay in New York "for a few days" to altend the U.N.

Washington sources said the date for the Kennedy-Khrushchev meeting had not been deter mined, but they indicated it would coincide with the U.N. trip. Government Calls Cancer WASHINGTON UPI The government announced Saturday that the key ingredient in Uie con- . ;i i t- I. ; u:i..j by ils promoters as a lifesaver or hopeless cancer victims, is real ly a cheap, common laboratory chemical called Creatine which has proved ineffective against cancers in animals. A ranking federal scientist said he found it "impossible to con ceive" how Creatine could have any value in treating cancer in humans. The Food and Drug Administra tion 'FDA' held out the prospect of lesal action in the Krebiozen case, particularly lo determine whether the claims for the serum are actually true and whether its KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON. and the radioactive isotope lab oratory buildings were opened by the State Board of Higher Education on Aug. 11, it was found that the bids exceeded the .family outing aboard the presi-.the Sat-dential yacht Honey Kitz to pre- pare for Saturday night's big party honoring his ailing father, former ambassador Joseph P.

The American Medical Associa tion (AM A' condemned Krebiozen 12 years ago as worthless in treating human cancer.

Four Fail To Escape From Reds BERLIN (UPIi - Communist guards ambushed four young East Germans who tried to break through the Iron Curtain garbage truck early Saturday and wounded them with a fusil lade of machine pistol .bullets, travelers reaching Berlin report ed. Communist border guards in East Berlin may have killed a woman trying to swim to freedom during the night. West Berlin po lice heard a shot ring out at 3 a. m. on the Gricbnitzsee Lake and the cry of a woman for help. Communist police swept the lake wilh two powerful search lights after Ihe shot was fired but the refugee could not be seen. A U.S. army patrol and West Berlin police searched the Ameri can sector lakeshore but found no body. H was believed she was killed. The four men who tried to (lee in the garbage truck made their attempt at the border crossing point in Wartha. about 170 miles southwest of Berlin on Ihe West German frontier. jCancer Institute, cast doubt on its effectiveness. Even in very high doses, Waalk es said. Creatine has been proved inellective in treating animal can cers. He said he could not re call any tests of Creatine for treatment of human cancer. But, he added, it is "impossible to conceive how the minute doses of Creatine (in the Krebiozen sample tested i could be of any value in treating cancer in view of the large amounts of Creatine already in the body." Waalkes said that every human has up to 120 grams of Creatine in his body. It is an amino acid derivative found In the blood and muscle tissues of humans and cor- i tain animals, including horses. Telephone TU 4-8111 No. 7570 posed opening of the campus in the fall of 1964. However, Friday Hie State Board of Higher Education made some changes in the overall specifications and awarded con tracts to get work on the dormi tory underway so that its comple tion would coincide with Ihe pro posed opening of the campus. H. Halvorson Inc., of Spo kane, was the low general con- st ruction bidder at $f!4,717 fori the dormitory. Two other low bids at the Aug 14 opening were also accepted by the board.' Urban Plumbing! and Healing Company of Port land has the contract on that phase for $143,717 and Ace Elec trie Company, Portland, will do the electrical construction for $l2,959. Earlier bids on furniture for the dormitory hall totalled $153.- 959. The board decided Friday that this work will bp rebid at a later dale on modified plans and specifications. The new contracts awarded were for the residence hall only. The radioactive isotope labora- lory has been deleted on the change order for 60 days dura lion pending the outcome of the election Oct. 15 on Ihe referen dum of the tax program of the last legislature.

Senate Pair Opposes Test Treaty WASHINGTON lUPD - The Senate's two leading authorities on military affairs have come out against the nuclear lest ban treaty, indicating thai ratification of the pact may be opposed more by Democrats than Republicans. Administration hopes for mini- mum oooosition to the treaty were dimmed Friday by the an- nouncements of two key southern senators that thev would vote against il. The Senate takes up the treatv Mondav. Both Sen. Richard B. Russell D-Ga., chairman 'of the armed services committee, and Sen. John C. Stennis, D-Miss, who heads the preparedness subcom mittee, said concern over possi ble military disadvantages of the treaty prompted their decisions A UPI poll of other members of the armed services committee showed two senators in favor of ratification, three undecided and one undecided by leaning toward ratification. Sens. Stuart Symington, Do-Mo., and Stephen M. Young, D-Ohio, were in favor of the treaty: Sens. Sam J. Ervin Jr., D-N. C, How ard W. Cannon, D-Ncv., and J. Glenn Bcall, R-Md., said Ihey had not made up their minds yet, though Beall said he planned to announce his stand next week. Sen. Clifford P. Case. R- N.

But he stressed tliat no decision has been made on opposite prose cution. He said the FDA will con sider its new evidence in ap praising whether claims for tlie drug were true and whether it was distributed according to law.
