were crated up and sent to the Cdpenhagen zoo when summer arrived. The musY oxen. Anderson said, have no sense of their water parity. so the zoo had to ration the liquid intake of Hans and Trine. From Ceylon came a story about baby elephants being trained to wean on empty whiskey bottles. Maj. A. N. Weinman of the zoo at Behiwela, Ceylon told it. Because Ceylon elephant's are wrecking farm crops, the government has given permission for them to be shot. This leaves a lot of baby elephants motherless, and Weinman’s zoo receives dbout one a month. The elephants are so small they have to be trained to feed on the bottle, and Weinman uses an empty whiskey bottle, held on the side of an adult elephant and craftily slipped into the babys mouth until it gets the idea. Vandal chimps turned up in the Chester, England, zoo and their house had to be dismantled to make “honest citizens” of the apes. The chimps would swing from beams at the top of, their home to the ground and throw stones back up through windows. ■ _ “We couldn't have that,” director G. S. Nottershead said.

Official Words Go Quickly On Record Reporting,Firm In Washington Is Busy WASHINGTON (UP) — Ward and Paul, a Washington reporting firm which.plays a large part in putting the government on record, recently found itself in print. One of its employes arrived late at a Senate subcommittee -meeting chairmanned by Sen. William Langer (ft-N. i>.) Langer found it "necessary to fine the committee reporter S2O for being 20 minutes late.” Later he inserted an account of his action in thd Congressional Record. Newspapers offered various reasons for the stenotypist’s tardiness. Jesse L. Ward said none was correct. He said the Incident ariose from an omission in the firm’s assignment sheet Ward told Langer what had happened because he didn’t want the senator to think “we take dur responsibilities lightly.” Ward and Alfred C. Paul, whose

firm prepares the transcript of President Elsenhower’s news conferences as well as the records of many congressional committees, joined forces nearly 25 years ago to write the recotd of the National ißecdvery Administration. This was the largest (reporting) undertaking in history,” according to Ward. The firm pUt in more than three years with the recovery administration, reporting on all phases of its work. Some 300,000 pages of transcript were the product of this enterprise. One of the firm’s most extensive efforts in recdnt years was the record of the special, closed-door senate hearings which involved Gen. Douglas MacArthur after his dismissal by President Truman as Supreme Commander in the Far East, Ward said. In this case, he pointed out proudly, testimony was recorded, cleared by a Defense Department censor, and made available to newsmen one hour after it was given. The firm also made the record of the Pearl Harbor Hearings' and, more recently, prepared transcripts of the segegration and desegregation arguments before the Supreme Court.

Ward and Paul, at one time or another, “has reported for every committee of the house and senate.” Ward said. Ward and Paul turn out about 1.000 pages of transcript daily. The employs 29 typists and 20 qtenotypists, the latter all able to take down 225 words or more per minute. Two employes are shorthand experts but seldom exercise their skill, because the stenotype method Is used almost exclusively in the word-recording field today, Ward said. Cat Fire GREENLEY, Neb.

Bicycle Comeback Is On In Chicago Physician, Mayor Sponsor Comeback CHICAGO (UP) — The bicycle i» making a comeback, under the auspices of Dr. Paul Dudley White of Boston and Mayor Richard Daley of Chicago. White, President Eisenhower’s heart specialist', put the bicycle bug in the mayor’s ear. They met at a heart fund dinner, and White told Daley that people should do more bicycling. Daley promptly asked the Chicago park district to set up bicycle paths in the city's parks. White, an inveterate cyclist himself. thinks riding a bike is superior to golf as a form of exercise. At the recent convention of the American Medical Assn, here, he disclosed that he is trying to “get Ike OB a bike.” Last month White and Daley, on a bicycle built for two, officially opened new bicycling program. ' Bicycle paths have been marked.. off in ants the" ftfbgihiit expand next year.
