a Virginia license and wants tc
fish from June 20 to July / it is
going to cost him 10 bucks. An
other $40 will be needed to carry

Quiz Shows

Saturday, from 500 p. m. until 600
D. m, is, almost without Interrupt
ton, Quiz Show time on WEI and
WJEJ-F'M.
Russ Hodges Quiz Show starts the
ball rolling at 500 o'clock. This show
starts off with two contestants, with
the one first answering three out
of five questions correctly being de-
clared the winner and receiving
several valuable awards. The win
ner then faces another contestant
for the second round, and SO on I'M
til he fails. A week or SO ago, a
young lad of 16 was so good, that he
remained winning contestant for
nearly three successive shows, and
wound up with prizes galore, in
Guiding a trip to Florida.
Right after the Hodges show, at
$50 o'clock, comes the ever popular
True Or False program, in which
the participants simple answer
True" or False" to a series of
questions. The contestant wins SIS
for answering the first question cor
rectly, and from there on, the ques-
tons get harder and the cash re-
wards bigger, until finally, if the
contestant answers seven questions
correctly, he not only wins the cash
awards given for each question, but
also get a crack at the jackpot
series of questions, and if he an
swers four out of five of those cor
rectly, he wins several hundred dol
lars extra.
Then at 800 o'clock comes
Twenty Questions" one of the most
popular quiz shows on the air. Lis
teners send in subjects, such as, per-
haps, MARY Queen of Scots" The
program has a staff of experts who
would simply be told by the emcee
that the question is about History.
Then the experts are allowed to ask
the emcee 20 questions, and out of
his answers to those 20 questions
they have to arrive at the correct
answer. If they fail (and it's sur
prising how seldom they do), the
listener sending in the question re-
ceives a valuable prize.
Then finally, at $3.50 o'clock, an
other popular audience participation
show, Take A Number, takes over.
This is another of those favorite
quiz shows where the prizes pyramid
until the lucky winners take home a
really sizeable pot

 WASHINGTON. (P)-The evi- dence of an atomic explosion in Russia probably was picked up by radiation-detection instruments - or just possibly by earthquake re- cording devices.
 While neither President Truman nor the atomic energy commission offer an explanation of how the U. s. got wind of the explosion re- ported by the White House, these are known facts:
 l. Atomic scientists have instru- ments, such as geiger counters, for spOtting rays coming from the ground or in the atmosphere.
 But how far radiation from an atomic explosion can be detected has never been made public.
 2. Earthquake-recording instru- mentS called 'seismographs" are able to record disturbances in the earth's crust. But this must be re- membered: an atomic bomb explo- sion doesn't begin to compare with the energy of an earthquake.
 Thus, if seismographs actually did decord evidence of an explo- sion in Russia, they necessarily would have had to be quite close to the scene.
 Detection by radiation-spotting instruments is by far the most likely possibility.
 Conceivably-although there is no official word to back this-air- planes bearing such devices might have been operating close to Rus sian territory. If so, airborne par ticles of radioactive dust might have come within the range of these instruments.

Senate OK's Foreign Arms Aid Program

WASHINGTON, (P)-The ad- ministration chalked up an impor- tant victory in foreign policy to- day on the strength of the Senate'S 55 to 24 approval of an overseas arms program.
 The Senate reached its decision late yesterday to re-arm friendly nations after beating down all moves to make a $200, 100000 cut in the $1,314,O1O,OOO arms bill.
 The measure came through the Senate with onyl two minor chang eS. This was in part a personal triumph for Senator Connally O. Tex.O and Senator Vandenberg R.- Mich0. the two party leaders in foreign affairs who led the fight for the aid program.
 l9 Republicans joined 36 Demo- CratS in voting for passage. Ten Democrats and II Republicans voted against it.
 In the debate, Senator Taft R.- Ohio), contended that the program contemplates arming every nation in the world that might be oppos- ed to Russia. This, he said. "is likely to incite Russia to war"
 But Vandenberg argued that the goal is Stopping aggression be- fore it reaches us"
 The Senate's vote pledged Con gress to a foreign arms program since the House already has ap- proved a similar military aid bill. The amount of money to be au- thorized remains in doubt.
 The House voted S869, ,5O5,O to carry out the arms plan-which is S444, ,5O5,O ,OOO less than the Sen ate figure. Senate and House members will work out their diff ferences in conference.
