In previous tests air-raid wardens

Defense Director Albert E. Brault
said today the volunteer fire de-
partments have received instruc-
tions not to blow sirens on the

confusion was caused by volunteer

the alert signal.

Dr.. Raymond Ditmars,
Curator Of Reptiles
Al Bronx Zoo, Dies
Scientist Kept Cobro
In His Berth on Roll
Trip Here in 1881
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 12.-Dr. Ray
mond L. Ditmars, the man who pop
ularized the lowly snake so the
public could face one without finch
ing, died today. DIR. Ditmars, cura-
tor Of reptiles at the Bronx Zoo,
had been Ill in St. Luke's Hospital
for three months.
The cause of death was not an
nounced, but hospital authorities
said it was not connected with his
work.
He spent most Of his IS years be-
friending the snake and chasing
superstition out Of his garden OF
reptiles. II he wasn't up at the Zoo
explaining what was new in the
animal kingdom, he was probably
of in South America chasing down
bushmaster.
Dr. Ditmars avoided showmanship,
but the very nature Of his life work
resulted in some amazing moments.
In March, 1881, he was confronted
with the problem OF transferring
14-foot king cobra, largest OF poison
Gus snakes, to the National Zoo in
Washington. He finally solved the
matter by taking a Pullman berth
for himself and the cobra-and de-
nvering his quarry in person.
Rejected Incredulous Tales.
ktajy1aI rroof coffcfo cffNy1 In
brushing OF the incredulous tales
with which an incredulous public
showered him. Examples:
He denied as absolutely impos-
sible" the alleged existence for 81
years of a horned toad sealed in a
courthouse cornerstone once re-
ported from Texas.
He labeled the rattlesnake's
poison as ''paralyzing, not neces-
sarily killing"
And he warned people against
emulating North Carolina
preacher who said he let rattler
bite him so that he could be cured
by faith.
More likely a good constitution" I"
DR.. Ditmars said, dryly.
Collected Strange Specimens.
Few men could emulate DR.. Dit
mars as q stalker Of the bushmas-
ter, most deadly Of the poison
bearing snakes.
Every time he returned from his
strange trips into the South, he
came back with the queer members
of the animal kingdom: The para
sol ants-little fellows trotting back
and forth bearing delicate rose
petals above them as parasols; the
vampire bats which he proved do
not kill or even suck blood; the
tadpoles that grow smaller as they
grow older; the spear nose bats.
He was born In Newark. N. j.,
and at 20 he was lecturing before
New York's Board of Education He
was q science reporter on the New
York Times and then, In July, 1899,
became curator Of reptiles at the
Bronx Zoo.

struck, were lost In the other attack.
Forty-four members of the crew

Delaware Ship Torpedoed.
From Rio de Janeiro came an
announcement by the Brazilian gov
ernment that eight men of the crew
of the 5,102-ton United States
freighter Lammot du Pont of VIII
mington, Del, landed in Recife.
Their ship was torpedoed April %
and the fate Of AZ crew members
was not known.
The eight men were rescued after
two days in lifeboats by the Swedish
motor ship Astri.
Twenty-three survivors OF a tor
pedoed merchant vessel sunk In the
Western Atlantic landed in an East
Coast Canadian port, Canadian au-
thorities announced. Nine men were
killed In the sinking and the sur
vivors were picked up from three

Both the Lively and the Kipling
are comparatively new ships. The
Kipling, 1880 tons, was completed
in 1889 and the Lively, 1920 tons,
In 1910.
In the battle of Crete, the Kip
ling, despite repeated and con-
tinued bombings, picked up the sur
vivors of the destroyer Kelly and
Kashmir which had been sunk.
Two direct e-bombing attacks
were made on the Kipling in this
action.
Last June 2, the British an
nounced that with three other de-
stroyers the Kipling had sank one
italian and two German subma-
rines operating against British
ships in the Mediterranean.
The Lively was part of task
force which on November 8, 1941,
wiped out two merged conveys in
the central Mediterranean. The
British claimed the Axis lost 10
merchant ships, four destroyers and
suffered damage to a fifth de-
stroyer.
