He has won at least Is Oscars" dur
ing his time in Hollywood! No I
haven't lost my mind-he's Gordon
Hollingshead, producer of shorts at
Warmers. AS you know, Gordon
snagged two more Oscars" this
year. Also, he's the gent who
brought Gene to Hollywood. He
tried to get her a job at Warmers
but they said NO!
Jimmy Cagney is testing two red

Lex when he expected to be working

they couldn't use me because I
looked like Cornell Wilde. At War

OTTUMWA, Ia, June 7 -[P)-I
took a tour around Ottumwa to-
day-by motorboat.
Traffic was heavy at times. We
had to dodge a floating automo-
bile once. Other objects in the wa
ter of Ottumwa's main streets
kept us on the alert.
I saw water flowing through
second story windows of some
houses and up to the caves of
others. I also learned that many
OF the city's residents have a
sense Of humor, even in the face
of tragedy and disaster.
My two companions in the boat
had been doing rescue work for
more than SO hours and one had
spent the night perched in a tree
and the other on a shed.
The flood waters in some spots
were very swift, foaming white
around obstacles. The navy esti-
mated the currents flow at Is to
30 miles per hour.
And there were humorous
scenes, too. There was a car park
ed at the curb. doors open, water
pouring through up to the wind
shield. On top was a folding chair
(unoccupied). and prominently
displayed a "for sale" sign.
Not every one wanted to be
rescued. We found two boys, IA
and 16, perched on a roof top,
the water three Or four feet below
them. They had sandwiches end
water, and gaily declined an offer
to be taken off.
John Madden, in whose roat I
vas riding, had one boat capsize
under him last night. He spent
the night on top of a shed with
the river roaring through it.
Madden told me that our COM
panion, Harold Brown, had res
cued five persons last night when
their boat capsized near his.
Brown swan to the spot and was
able to help get the five to a
radio tower where they could
hang ON until another boat could
pick them up, Madden said. With
nc room left on the radio tower
Brown climbed into a tree for the
night.
Madden and Brown returned
cheerfully to their rescue work
this morning.

Army Officer Hears Appeal
For Blood ;Stops, Aids Child

A United States Army officer
travelling with his wife, who hap
pened to hear a radio appeal for
blood for an i'll 10 months-old child
at James Walker Memorial hospi-
tai yesterday, today were credit
ed with furnishing the life giving
fluid that is aiding her recovery.
Baby Faye Wells, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Norman Wells, Of
near Brvgaw, was suffering her
second consecutive attack of ty-
phoid fever in James Walker hos
pitfalls contagious ward.
J. D. Lewis director of the hos
pitfalls blood bank had placed a
call for blood donors of type 2 or
A blood, needed to neutralize the
infants system.
The Army officer, Maj. Donald
E. Sowle and Mrs. Sowle, 3414 A
S. Utah street, Arlington, Va, en-
route to Washington. D. c. from
a Florida vacation heard Lewis
appeal over the cars radio.
The couple was travelling on
Market street here, and stopped
at a gas station to ask the direc-
ton of the hospital.
The call specified that the blood
must come from a type 2 or A
who had recently been vaccinated
against the fever, OF from the
same type person who had recent
ly suffered the fever.
The major had been inoculated
within six months. He was type
2 or A.
Lewis took his blood, thanked
him and wished him merrily on
his way.
Dr.. A. MGR. Grouse, infant
specialist in Wilmington and
Faye.s doctor said that she was
responding nicely to the trans
fusion, and that the pint taken
from the major will be enough for

Newly-developed high tempera-
ture alloys cut the weight of the
engine by 500 pounds and speed
up the manufacturing process. The
weight reduction gives the rocket
a greater explosive carrying ca
pacity.
The new rocket is powered by
liquid oxygen and a chemical, the
formula of which is highly secret.
This enables the rocket to fly
above the stratosphere since it
carries its own oxygen supply and

OF Six From Leprosy

NEW ORLEANS, June 7-U.H-
The story Of the miraculous re-

island.
Fennell is in New Orleans to con-
fer with scientists Of the National
Leprosarium at Carville, La.
Fennell said six persons from
the settlement were selected for
the test. They were going blind.
Three had tracheal tubes in their
threats to enable them to breathe.
A year later, with the use of
promin, which had been intro
duced in the successful treatment
of leprosy at the Carville, La, in
stitution years before, all had good
sight. 1.-THE three who had worn
tracheal tubes breathe naturally
and have thrown them away. The
results Of the drugs have been
miraculous" he said.
Fennell said, "the. results of
both promin and diasone on scores
of others have been SO astounding
that we can hardly believe it.
neither is a cure for
leprosy. But they present a chal-
to the medical profession.
Other drugs are following, and
then it won't much matter where
a leprosarium will be located at
sea level or tn the mountains"
Fennell is a Cincinnati born and
education pathologist who took up
his studies Of leprosy as a hobby.

Police said a four-foot abutment
