Lead Pellets in Gizzurd
Cause Poisoning Of Ducks

ST. PAUL.-Lead shot that never
hit any ducks may nevertheless be
responsible for the present alarm
ing decline in the duck population,
suggests Vincent H. Reid, of the
Minnesota division of game and fish.
Gizzards of 1,084 wild ducks which
were analysed in his study contained
lead shot in slightly over 9 per cent
of all cases.
The ducks had picked up the pei
lets along with their food from the
shallow bottom mud.
1t is known that such giZzard pei
lets can cause lead poisoning which
may affect the ducks ability to re-
produce, if it does not kill them
outright.
The problem of lead poisoning
from spent shot is becoming more
acute, Reid says, because increas-
ing numbers of hunters are now
shooting over Canadian and western
waters where the main breeding
grounds are.

Candy Tester Gets Pay
For Eating Chocolates

NEW YORK.-Peter Laureys 1.
one of those happy men whose

There are only a handful of jobs
like Laureys' in all the United
States. He is a candy faster. Every
day he clocks in at 10 a. m. ready
for another hard day of nibbling
chocolates and licking lollipops.
For the benefit of a curious and
envious throng, Laureys, a beaming
man of So, donned the white jacket
worn by candy tasters and went
through his daily routine.
From a conveyor belt he plucked
a chocolate, bit into it., raised his
eyes dreamily and meditated.

nounced. 1.-THE fondant (cream
base) is a little thick but otherwise

Then he yanked a lollipop from
the belt, held it up to the light as
a wine connoisseur would do. He
flicked it with the tip of his tongue.
"Umm," he said, "should have
more clafity-I mean it should be
as clear as glass and smooth as a
mirror. This is a little clouded."
Instructions went down the line
to the operators of the chocolate
and lollipop mixtures.
Laureys has been working in
candy kitchens since he was IL and
almost five decades of experience
have given him the ability to detect
any variation in the IL basic candy
On any given day, he said he
tastes at least 300 chocolates. From

WuferwheeI in Grand Rapids
Still Serves Its Customers

GRAND RAPIDS, MICH.-In this
age of modern. municipal pumping
stations, 200 suburban residents here
still get their water supply from a
plant where an aged waterwheel is
the chief source of power.
The 5~7-year-old plant, n of the
worlds smallest utilities, is oper-
ated by Charles Russell, who uses
no meters and charges his custo-
mers according to rates set in 1891.
The pumping unit is a 12-foot
waterwheel below a dam in Lam
berton creek. The wheel operates
pumps which push water from three
wells into a $4,000 gallon storage
tank on high ground near by.
Russell charges old customers a
flat 81 fee a month; new rates are
slightly higher - 81 every three
months.

WASHINGTON. - Richard Mans

have been a good candidate for the

He has trotted down the monu-
ment's 1913 iron stairs at least five
nights a week for the last two and
a half years. And he says he makes

Why doesn't he take the elevator?
The nswer dates back to 1929.
A Vermont woman spent the night

complained of involuntary i'm

Former Bomb Base
In Pacific Goes
Back to Nature

TINIAN, MARIANAS ISLANDS,
The airfield that hurled the atom
bomb against Japan lies deserted.
Wild cattle roam across the great
landing strips.
Nobody cares. There is nobody to
care.
This base, with probably the
worlds greatest array of runways,
has been abandoned.
Runway abel" is the one that
the atom bombers used. But there
are six others, all paved with white
coral that makes them glare under
the Pacific sun. Laid out parallel,
they form great grids across the
green island.
Each runway is $500 feet long
and 500 feet wide-the envy of every
American airport, but just an an
noyance to cattle searching for
pasture.
Near the sea is the building where
the atom bombs were assembled.
Typhoons have torn open its sides.
Artillery ammunition is stored in
side. The ammunition cases are
rotting.
Filled With Water
A little farther on are two pits
where atomic bombs once rested.
Now they are partly filled with
water. A frog, disturbed by the first
visitor in weeks, leaped into the
water, and stuck his head out pro-
testingly.
An occasional plane lands at the
strip at the other end of the grid.
There is no airport radio, so the
plane before landing buzzes the field
to alert a crash crew.
Stretching away from the air
strips are paved roads marked
Broadway" and Eighth Ave-"
Each is nine miles long. Each is
polka-dotted with thousands of
African s%nails, descendants of the
snails which the Japanese brought
here to eat.
They menace the only commercial
undertaking on the island-a farm
intended to furnish fresh vegetables
to American service personnel on
Guam and Saipan. A half-dozen
navy men tend the rusting Tinian
port, and about 200 army men have
been destroying the staggering piles
Of aerial bombs which were aban-
doned when the war ended. Now
work has stopped to save the
bombs for China.

The 20Oth birthday of Count CAST
mir Pulaski, Polish hero OF the

this morning by the Polish Embas-
sy here with a ceremony at the

of red and white carnations at the
foot of the equestrian statue.
With him at the brief ceremony
were Tadeusz Jaworski, first secre-
tary; Wladyslaw Nizinski, second
secretary; Goguslaw Herman, Sec
ond secretary; Czeslaw Milosz, at
tache, and Maj. Alfons Olkiewlcz,
assistant military attache.
The statue is inscribed with
1747 as the date Of Count Pdlaskis
birth. and his 200th birthday ami
versarv was celebrated in Poland
last year. Reference books, how
ever, list March 4, 1748, as the Revo-
lutionary War generals birthday.
Mr.. Rogozinski said the exact date
of the generals birth is in dispute.
He said he thought the confusion
resulted from the use of two calen-
dars in Poland in the 18th century.

Radioactive isotopes for research

the laboratories where the research
is being conducted.
Also, progress reports on their ex-
periments must be submitted to this
country every six months, and they
must agree not to use the materials
for any purposes other than those
agreed on with the United States.
Forty-four shipments have gone

PRAGUE, Mar. 4.-The Com

their whereabouts.
Prochazka is one Of the Ministers
singled out by Communist Pre-

Milada, 10, the minister's daugh-
ter, is under arrest after an unsuc-
cessful attempt to escape from the

bill, that it would provide the
foundation for a real career service
for administrative and executive
workers in Government"
At present, many supervisory en-
ployes with administrative talent
are classified in the CAT categories,
with little or no chance to advance
in the Federal service with admins
trative and executive recognition.
The McCarran bill would include
them, according to the RESPONSE
bility they have in their present
Jobs, in the new AE (administra-
tive and executive) classification.
Although Senator McCarran did
not ask for removal Of the $4,000
Federal pay ceiling, he said that
should be considered by the Senate
Civil Service Committee, to which
the bill will be referred.
$3,O21 Starting Grade.
The starting grade in the pro-
posed A&E classification would pay
salaries ranging from $3,021 to So
773 a year. The classifications
would 60 up to Grade 9, which
would pay a maximum $4,000 an
nual salary.
Senator McCarran's bill was
drafted before the general Classi-
fication Act revisions proposed yes
terday by President Truman. AS .
matter of fact, the measure differs
sharply from anything the Civil
Service Commission has had to say
on the subject.
But it's certain to have D. lot OF
support, both in Congress and IN
the Government departments, from
those who have felt for long time
that the present classification sys-
tenn offers very little hope to rank
