Old Woman's Snake Story
Starts Rush on BARRIERS

MANILA.-An old woman story
teller was credited by the BARRIERS
of Pampanga province with bring
ing them a capacity business in at
least five towns in the San Fernando
vicinity.
Her story: A bird and a snake
%quarrelled over which should rule
over all newly born children. The
bird won, but the snake vowed to
kill all babies with hair on their
heads.
Credulous mothers, taking no
chances, rushed their youngsters to

Army Not Worried
Over Lack Of Radar
Would Cost Many Billions to
Install Umbrella.

WASHINGTON. - The United
States is without any sort of radar
umbrella" to warn against an air
attack, say leaders of the armed
forces. But they aren't worried too
much about it.
They said installation of such a
radar network would take billions of
dollars and thousands of men to
complete. And then it would be-
come obsolete in five years.
If a plane should attack the Unit
ed States, the nations defenders
would have to rely entirely on visu-
al reports.
Military leaders base their de-
tense on the belief that a strong Of
tense is the best defense.
They believe that this country is
the only nation that has the atomic
bombs at present. They have built
up a %long-range strategic air force
of BIOS to carry them.
The radar equipment left over
from World War II has a range of
only $50 miles at the maximum.
This would mean that those sets
would have to be spaced $50 miles
apart all around the nation.
The military men say that on the
North, equipment would have to be
set up in Canada, Alaska, Green
land and Iceland. Each radar in
stallation would cost at least $500, 900
and require 200 men.
Then there would be the problem
of providing units to manage, con-
troll and transmit the information
gathered by the radar stations.
This in turn would have to be
made available in a hurry to fighter
and anti-aircraft batteries.
The military leaders point out that
radar would be useless without stra-
logically placed fighter and anti-air-
craft units.

Pig Muscle May Produce
Cure for Stomach Ulcer

PITTSBURGH. - A certain
kind of pig muscle may be the
answer to the recurrence of
stomach ulcers.
A report made by DR.. Morton
Grossman, assistant professor Of
physiology at University of Illi-
nois, reveals that excellent re-
suits" have been obtained from
the use of a new drug in curing
ulcers.
DR.. Grossman, who estimated
that ulcers recur after healing in
z out of every 10 cases, said he
has slowed the rate considerably
by using the intestinal extract
from a pig.
"Out of 81 cases, I obtained
excellent results with % of the
patients" he said.

their ten-yard line to gain a score
less tie with the ~power-laden Louisi-

in the eleventh Annual Cotton Bowl
classic.
Thirty-eignt thousand fans mud
died under umbrellas and rain
coats saw the two teams battle in
a misting rain and s%ub-freezing
weather.
The Razorbacks, called the tough
est in the nation, once halted the
Tigers on the two-yard stripe, an
other time they threw Louisiana
back from their four and on still
another occasion they whammed
the Tigers down after they had
stormed to the Arkansas eight.
The Tigers rammed and spun
through the Razorbacks for 255
yards on the ground while Arkans-
as got only 50 and a. lone first
down. The slippery ball made pass
ing hazardous and LSU completed
only five out of II attempts for
16 yards. Arkansas tried only four
and didn't connect with any.
While only SO, 900 turned out for
the game, it was a sell-out OF AS

two months ago.
1t was the second tie game in
the history of the Cotton Bowl.
The first in 1914 when Texas and
Randolph Field battled to a IT
stalemate was played under wealth
err conditions similar to today only
it rained throughout that contest.
Today it was a fine mist that froze
as it fell. Temperature ranged in
the middle twentles.
Despite an inch and a half of
snow that fell yesterday, the field
was dry at the start, having been
covered. But the rain started mid
way of the first period and soon
the gridiron was quite slippery,
1t did not appear to hinder the
runners much, however.
