Mosser was headed south when he hit a rough section of the road. He applied his brakes and the car went out of control, skidding several hundred feet off the the right side of the road and then rolled over. The car was totally demolished. Deputy sheriff Charles Arnold and state trooper Dan Kwasneski investigated. Many of New Mexico’s Pueblo Indian women still bake bread in beehive-shape outdoor ovens, called "bornm,”. Heated rocks are first placed inside the ovens, and when the interior reaches the right temperature, the rocks are removed and the dough put in to bake.

Balloon Gondola And Dummy Are Found Experiment Ended In Failure Today MINNEAPOLIS — (W — An Air Force “dummy” and balloon gondola were found today in a tree near Cresco, lowa, ending a scientific experiment which went away. The dummy was to have made a 14-mile drop through space to gather information which would determine if airmen can safely bail out of planes at altitudes of--100,000 feet. ’ But the dummy refused to let go when the balloon reached 95,000 feet about four hours after its launching Sunday morning. The electronic release device failed to function, and the giant plastic balloon continued to wander through the stratosphere until some time during the night. The gondola, which also was to have been dropped through space shortly after the dummy started its 14-mfle plunge, had been appropriately named—as it turned out—“ The Wandering Wigwam.” Plans had called for the dummy to drop in a free fall before a parachute would open and safely lower the model to earth. The balloon ascension— and the failure of the release mechanism — was watched by Capt. Henry Nielsen of the aero-medical laboratory at the Ail* Torce’s Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio. Nielsen has volunteered to make the 14-mile jump this summer. Only Minor Damage Done In Accident Only minor damage was caused in an accident at 146 South Second street Saturday at 7:50 p. m. James H. Roudenbush. 34, of 1230 W. Adams street, slowed down and was hit in the rear by a car driven by Gerald W. Schlickman, 47, of 128 South 13th street. Damage. limited to the Roudenbush car, was estimated at S3O.
