But there was little need. Grandview neighbors respected the request of the President for privacy. Deputy sheriffs, city and state polise and secret service men also patrolled the cemetery. / Saved for 33 Years The waiting grave was in the burial plot purchased by Martha Truman's father, Solomon Young, a freighter. The plot, small and obscure, was in one of Kansas
* City’s largest cemeteries. The 20- + /by-20 plot—block 43, lot 855—lay
on a gently sloping hillside, shaded by broad branches of ancient maples, elms and oaks. A place had been saved for her for 33 years. It was beside the unmarked grave of her husband, John, the President’s father. John Truman died of cancer at the age of 62. There were simple headstones about the graves of five members of the Young family who were "buried in the plot. The graves of John Truman, Callie Louise Truman, daughter of the: President's brother, Vivian, were unmarked. Few visitors at the cemetery know where the plot is located.

three great sons and daughter of J. V. Truman and one daughter of Harry." Time of Death Blank The time of her death was left blank. She died Saturday morning, victim of a tired heart that had threatened Mer life for months. She broke her hip in a fall in February and, although it mended, she had been in bed almost constantly since. She was buried in a. plain metal casket. Her blue dress with a flowered dickey was one she bought last winter for a proposed second visit to the White House. The trip was canceled when she fell. The cottage where she spent her last six years was prepared for the funeral pites in strictest simplicity. A plain wreath hung at the door. Even had the plans been otherwise, few besides the members of the family could have found room in the small living room. * Her two doclors—Brig. Gen. Wallace’ Graham, White House physician, and Dr. Joseph Green, the family physician from nearby Indepeéndence=were the only persons outside, the family at the services. Pass by Casket Grandview’s 1200 residents paid their last respects to their neighbor yesterday when the barricads on the streets were lowered and they passed quietly by the casket in twos and threes. ' With typical Midwestern neighborliness, closest friends brought pies, cakes and covered dishes for the family. The President spent the entire day at the cottage yesterday except for two. hours in midafternoon when he left with‘his daughter, Margaret. A solemn, quiet alr hung over the town today. There were few people in the streets. Behind their windows they watched tthe big black cars that whisked the family to the cottage and away again. The|® President mourned alone with his) family, who shared the depths of his grief. There were no flowers. His mother recently told the President that flowers were for _eople who were alive to enjoy them—not for the dead.

Expedition Bags Killer’ Lantern Fly
28,000 Bugs Brought To U. S. From Perv
By PAUL F. ELLIS United Press Sciemce Writer NEW YORK, July 28—A o0e-
Peru with 28,000 rare tasects, including one that is supposed to strike a person dead with one sting. The expedition was carried out by John C. Pallister, entomologist, formerly of Cleveland, and now with the American Museum of Natural History. The insect with the supposedly deadly sting is the lantern fly, or alligator bug. Mr. Pallister caught seven of them alive, killed them in a can of potassium cyanide and added them to his collection. They are natives only of the northern part of South America. Wing Spread 9 Inches The lantern fly is about seven yt has a wing
a head shaped sométhing like an
alligator. Its beak, however, is far under its head. The eyes sit way back, too. It is a dangerous looking insect.
Another unusual feature is that the insect's head—about the size
of a peanut—is hollow. It doesn’t
contain a thing. Mr. Pallister said éntomologists haven't been able to figure it out. The fly, which has golden-colored wings, also is reputed to glow at night, like a fire-fly, but Mr, Pallister said he never saw one illuminated. He also said he never knew of anyone being killed by the lan-
tern fly, but that the natives in Peru are deathly afraid of the in-

Pennsylvania st., Perry displayed a penchant for returning to the scene of previous crimes, detectives observed, He and his partners—with Perry holding the gun most of the time— four times held up the Gaseteria filling station, 1009 E. New York st. ‘Liked’ Fruit Stand Three times the youthful bandits robbed the Hbrton fruit market, 720 E. Washington st., their confessions stated. Perry was the swaggering bandit who twice entered the Puritan hotel, 101 N. New Jersey st., tossed a man’s sock across the counter and ordered the clerk to “fill it up,” police recalled.
Senator Carl A. Hatch (D. N. M), observed that Mr. Meigs’ prediction about the “public and politiclans” had “almost come to pass.” ‘More Than Salesmanship’ “It would seem so, yes,” Mr. Meigs
Under questioning by Subcompaittee Chalrman Homer Gerguson, Mr. Meigs sald Mr, Kaiser “convinced” only. people with no technical qualifications that his project was feasible. . Mr. ferguson insisted that “something more than salesmanship” was involved, but Mr: Meigs did not agree, Mr. Meigs told Mr, Ferguson that Mr, Nelson, then WPB chieftain, did not “pressure” for awarding Mr. Kaiser ‘the although it was “Nelson's responsibility.” The contract finally was awarded by the Defense Plants| Corp., a subsidiary of the Reconstruction Finance Corp. When Mr. Meigs said Mr, Nelson exerted no pressure in connection with the contract, Mr. Ferguson read back testimony he had given in u secret committee session. In that testimony Mr. Meigs had said the only pressure had been “pressure by Mr, Nelson's office.” ‘Close to White House’
After reading this, Mr, Ferguson asked Mr. Meigs if he knew of any political pressure to get WPB to approve the contract. Mr, Meigs every replied there was “none that I know of,” but added he understood that “Mr. Kaiser was very close to the White House.” Mr. Meigs sald he “got the impression” that Mr. Nelson okayed the contract because “it would be too bad if the government didn't take a chance.” Asked If any technician agreed that the proposed flying boats were the answer to Uboats, he replied, “not a soul.” “ME, Meigs told the cofnnit use that Mr. Kaiser came to Washington in July, 19042, with plans to produce a huge flying boat in 10 months, despite materia] shortages.
