" THERE'S A DEEP dark mystery: that's puzzling the residents of an apartment byilding ‘at 3720 N. Pennsylvania st. For at least a year they've been trying to figure out the origin of a deep raucous noise. that disturbs ‘their sleep during the summer, One tenant told us the sound,a cross between a howl and .a cough, kept him awake all last summer, He
thought it was someone near him who had a throat’
ailment, until he learned it was being heard all over the building. A couple of wegks ago our agent got up at §5 a. m. and as he walked from the house discovered the sound was coming from the trees. Later he heard from people whose windows opened on a court wherg the trees grow that they believed the sound was some kind of a bird. Now our friend declares that if it's an owl, it's mimicking Tallulah Bankhead bécause it's the most deep-throated sound he's ever heard.” Even now that he knows where the sound emanates, he'd still like to figure out what species of tree-inhabitants has such a deep voige. , . , Sam Tyndall, son of the mayor And former member of The Times editorial depart

‘Little Bill Has Little Racer
A POTENTIAL Speedway king, “Little Bill” Shaw, is getting early fame in the racing world. His father, Wilbur Shaw, president of the Speedway and threetimes 500-mile winner, has naméd a capsule«size mode! Maserati, patterned from the racer he drove to! victory, after his 10-month-old son.. A picture of the youngest Shaw will center each of the tiny racers, which soon will be produced at factories ix Chicago and Valley Mills, Ind. The first car. was‘given to “Little Bill” as a keepsake from the venture, which is being backed by his dad. . . , The racer got its start from a model sent to the elder Shaw just before the last race. Tony Hulman, Speedway owner, was also given a model and he liked it so well he had 5000 made (with the Speedway sign on dne side and
the Clabber Girl insigne on the other) to hand out|
to friends. The Interest aroused gave Mr. Shaw an

‘A-Bomb Reactions By Dr. Frank Thone
BIKINI, July 3.—The animals that survived the atomic bombing here are not safe yet, Despite the astonishing record of survival of these goats and pigs their troubles may just be beginning. If their reactions are similar to those of human beings, here i8 a list of diseases they may develop from having lived through the blast of an atomic bomb: : ONE: Anemia; due to the destruction of the parent cells of red blood corpuscles. TWO: Luecopenia or -agranolocytosis, resulting _ from an analogous suppression of white blood cells. THREE: . Piitpura, a kind of bleeding that folJows the destruction of blood platelets that aid in clotting. FOUR: through its weakened defenses. FIVE: Liver degeneration, hepatitis, . SIX: Degeneration of the sex glands in both the male and female; this, however, is not necessarily permanent. SEVEN: Loss of hair, which again may not be permanent. EIGHT.

Cement Navy?
BIKINI, July 3.—Some navy men were wondering
today whether a successful defense against the ‘atomic bomb might lie in concrete construction of ships. : In the Bikini test, two concrete fuel barges and a eoncrete drydock survived the blast, which sunk five ships and damaged at least three-score. One barge, No. 2160y was badly charred when the bomb ignited cargo fuel oil stored on her. But she was apparently in good shape otherwise with her détks well above the water line. The remaining yard oiler and the dry dock, both farther removed from the blast center, suffered no apparent damage. Oiler 2160 was moored only a hundred yards from the Nevada, the bull's-eye for the test. : Today the oilers were being towed in for a close-up inspection by naval construction men. In this same target area the carrier Independence was all but destroyed by the blast and subsequent fires, the cruisers Pensacola and Salt Lake City emerged with smashed stacks and superstructure, and the battleships Pennsylvania and Arkansas were so wrecked above the waterline they would have been useless in a naval engagement.
“Built of Concrete
THE NAVY men's interest in concrete ships was aroused after examinations of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, There, after the atom-bomb attacks, the few
My Day
HYDE PARK, Tuesday.—Early yesterday morning I left here and motored to La Guardia fleld in New York to take a plane to Washington. At the Washington airport, I found waiting for. mesmy son, Elliott, his wife and his two little boys, who were on their way up to Hyde Park from Fort Worth, Tex. We went together to call on Mrs. Truman and then directly to the capitol for the memorial services which were held for my husband at a joint session of the senate and the house. The committee in charge had invited the Hon. John G. Winant to speak. I thought his address was beautiful and very moving. His great sincerity reaches his audience, I think, and there is always -s0 much in what he says that you want to take away for future contemplation, The ceremony was simple but very well arranged, and the music lovely. I should have liked-to speak to more of the people I saw there—the President and some members . of the cabinet, Senator Barkley, ‘Adm. Leahy, Gen. Eisenhower, Adm. Nimitz, and various other officers— but there seemed to be no opportunity to do so. I did have a chance to say a few words to.some of the members of the senate and house, and to speak to all the members of the committee which had made the arrangements, - v

W, H., O, Blandy, commander of Task Force 1; rushed fire fighting crews to No. 2160 as soon as it was possible to re-enter the lagoon. Preliminary inspections have revealed far greater damage to the test fleet than had appeared at a distance soon after the bomb exploded.

Only a few hours after the bomb was dropped small boats were operating from ship to ship, their passengers being sprayed by the water of the lagoon without apparent injury. So far no dead fish have heen seen in the lagoon, although no one has tried to catch and eat any live ones. The first report that the bomb sent the navy's drone aircraft out of control proved unfounded. Only one drone was lost. It got out of control of its mother ship before the bomb dropped and crashed into the sea. All the others penetrated the atomic cloud and returned safely to their bases.

What Funny People We Are
I SEE that the house passed a 20-day ‘extension for OPA, but the senate, because of Senator W. Lee O'Daniel’s blocking tactics, will probably not be able to do anything. What funny people we are, begging everybody to hold prices and yet allowing some of our representatives to use parliamentary technicalities to prevent the legal enforcement of our - desires! Commodity prices have ‘gone up already. It will be Interesting and perhaps painful to see what happens in the next few weeks. How often we fail to work for things” here at home of which, in the abstract, we approve! There is a very good illustration of this in the fact that the National Federation of Professional and Business Women’s Clubs has the following provision in its legislative support program: “Support of participation by the United States of America in international organization with adequate enforcement machinery for the maintenance of peace and security; and support of a foreign policy embracing international social development, economic and financial stability, and the peaceful settlement pf international disputes.” They now propose to consider at their convention the support of a national policy embracing the same
objectives. I hope with all my heart that this great group of women will point the way for the rest of us to do at home what we realize shoul be ‘done

By MARGUERITE SMITH IT COULD BE that you don't care for black raspberry shortcake, oozing rich purple Juice. Or could it? At present prices you need to be practically a millionaire to buy them, Yet any number of local gardeners are ‘picking their own berries every day, not only black but red raspberries and boysenberries. Here's how. “We. find that 18 to 24 bushes of black raspberries give us enough for a few glasses of jelly as well as the tablé,” Paul H. Brown, 5145 Michigan. rd, said. = Mr. Brown raises four different varieties of raspberries including the seldom seen purple variety.
» » » MOST IMPORTANT point in raspberry (or any. berry culture) he believes, is good rich soil with plenty of humus” to hold water around the roots. But it must also be well enough drained so excess doesn’t stand around the plants, He cited the case of newly planted bushes he had that died when rain fell for days and water stood around them shortly after setting. During dry periods moisture is best held in the ground by, mulching with straw or manure. He raises New Logan. “It's supposed to be an early berry but for two years it has ripened at about the same time as our Morrisons,” he said. The latter are the largest of the black caps and less seedy than most.
