Three-Year Old Tot Safe
After Night in Forest

READING, PA.-Weary search

found Readings babe in the woods
unframed but terribly scared"
Three-year-old Billy Abbott van
ished at 4:30 p. m. the day before.
A thousand men, women and chill
dren pitched into the search. They
found him lying in a clump of grass
at lao p. N.
Billy was rushed to st. Joseph's
Hospital and dismissed 10 minutes
later after an examination disclosed
no injury but that bis temperature
was low.
ut doesn't seem possible" one
attendant said, that he stayed out
doors throughout the night"
He was taken home ir the Of
fetal car of the assistant fire chief
in his home town of Laureldale, a
Reading suburb. All the fire sirens
in Laureldale were turned loose
to hail discovery of the boy.
His father, Arthur, who said
earlier that Billy was "a very timid
boy" and that 'he never wandered
off BEFORE" accompanied his son
home in the fire car.
For a while, Billy said nothing.
Then he reached into his father's
coat and took out a cigarette light

"Where?" his father asked him.
AT the house where I slept"
Billy replied.
Further questioning failed to un-
cover any more details Of how the

Poodle Living With Lioness
Is stop Dog" in Frankfurt

FRANKFURT. "A black poodle
with cocky ears is top dog at the
Frankfurt zoo. He lives in a cage
with a lioness.
Bono, about the size of a pre-
war beef roast, is the roommate
of Brigitta, a lioness who could
polish him off with one bite. They
grew up together. Bonzo's mother
was foster mother to the lion cub.
That was III 1947. AS she grew,
Brigitta tolerated the other pups,
but took a special liking to Bono.
When it came time to put Brigitta
on a raw meat diet, Bono stayed
on.
Today, the poodle struts around
the cage. Just when Brigitta sends
shivers down spectators backs,
Bonzo ruins the act by paving her
playfully. When children stare at
the big ~lioness, Bono is likely to
chew n of her ears.
Brigitta usually ignores these
s%allies, but it is hard to be a tawny
menace when even a dog don't be-
lieve it. On the other hand, the
lioness follows standard lion prac-
tice of pacing to and fro back OF
the bars. When Bono gets in the
way, he is bounced off restless
knee or shouldered into a corner.
The pair form the highlight OF a
zoo which is coming back rapidly
after e ar destruction in war
bombing. The director, DR.. Bern
hard Grcimeck, says, THAT Bono.
keeps US busy. Just because he
lives with a lion, he thinks he has
to eat like one."
Grcimeck had a big problem re-
building the animal population, al
most wiped out in the war. But a
little buying and bartering have
gone a long way. The o now
equals most in western Germany.

Louis PhHippi Gets
Paid for %Scrombling
Movie Stars Faces

HOLLYWOOD, CALF This is
about the man who wreaks mayhem
on the movie stars.
The man is Louis Philippi. He
has bloodied the noses and messed
up the maps of a half dozen high
salaried stars. He gets paid for it.
If you have been in a night club
brawl, Hollywood is full of people
who'll disguise your black eye and
repair your hangover.
If you haven't, Philippi will make
you look as if you had.
It's not easy. 1t takes Philippi
two and a half hours every morning
to make up Marshall Thompson for
"Roseanna Mccoy" A Mccoy who
h a p p to meet a Hatfield.
Thompson suffers a bullet wound in
the right shoulder, bruised cheek
bone, black eye, cut under left eye
brow, scalp wound. scraped chin,
torn earlobe and bloody nose.
They all are inflicted, painlessly,
by Philippi.
81 keep a file of pictures from
the newspaper of people who get
drunk or battered up" Philippi said.
'"They are indexed according to the
type of work required. I can pro-
duce about a hundred different
types of lacerations."
He designs and executes each
scratch with the care of a portrait
artist, fixing it on with a palette
knife and dark lipstick. He Uses a
small brush and an assortment of
grease paints for bruises and a rub
Der sponge with rouge for abrasions.
1.-The day has passed when you
could smear on some lipstick and
lampblack and call it a day." he
said, even flesh wounds have to be
documentary these days. A black
eye, for instance, isn't really black
but red or blue or yellow-green, de-
pending on how long since it got
hit"
So before he vets his sponge
Philippi demands to know when the
fight happened, how and where and
by whom the blows were delivered
and what if any weapons we're en-
ployed.
Artificial blood, something ley on
the market, makes Philippi's job
easier. 1t comes in two colors -
bright for fresh wounds and dark
for old ones-and coagulates like the
real thing. He squirts it on with a
syringe.
The only film fight in which
Philippi directly participated was in
1.-THE Red Pony" Bob Mitchum was
knocked under a table and came up
with a bloody nose.
II was hiding under the table,"
Philippi whispered, with a sponge
soaked in blood. When Bob came
down, 1 pasted him on the nose"

ROAD SAFETY:
For Bows & Girls

In the year 1947-figures for last
year are not yet available Ma
tional Safety Council fl S
showed that 7,150 persons between
the ages of Is and "a were killed
in automobile accidents on Ameri-
can highways. In addition 1896. 900
boys and girls within that age
group were injured in highway
accidents.
ACCIDENT REPORTS from %
states last year disclosed that 81
per cent of all drivers involved in
accidents-or nearly n out of
three were under 25 years of age.
That was an appalling toll of the
nations youths and something, it
appeared, should be done about it.
Now, something was being done
about it. The Inter-Industry high
way safety committee had come
up with a program designed to
enlist the aid of youth itself in cut
ting down highway accidents and
fatalities among the nations youth.
The program is one of education
which would tend to encourage
greater responsibility on the part
of younger drivers when using the
family car. Program material now
is being distributed to national
organizations which agree to help
sponsor the movement. The pro-
gram is conferred around drivers
IS to 25 years of age.
CHIEF INTEREST-and-coopera-
tion-getter in the program are
I'm a mt ON a n" and "Dad-to-
Daughter" agreement cards. The
agreements are for the signature
of eligible sons and daughters with
their fathers, and outline eight
good driving practices which the
young drivers agree to observe
while using the family car.
All state and local public sup
port organizations urged to
take advantage of this opportunity
to help reduce highway traffic &C.
cidents involving youngsters.
Those interested were directed
to write: Inter-Industry highway

Pretty SNORT

Lorchen the parrot is a pretty
smart bird.
HE LIVES in the Stamp & Coin
Shop on Times Square in New
York.
A customer tried to enter the
store, but found the door locked.
However, as he turned away he
heard Lorchen's insistent screams:
LET me Quit Goodbye, goodbye"
Intrigued, the customer listened
closer, heard muffled means from
inside the shop.
HE SUMMONED a building su-
perintendent who opened the door
and found Gustave Moerz, so, the
parrots owner and shop proprietor,
bound in a chair by tape and wire.
His mouth was tapped.
Moerz told police two men broke

$644 from a safe and 500 from his

BERLIN:
Up The Borriers

What had really impelled the
Russians to lift the Berlin blockade,
and how would the action affect
world peace?
Those were two top questions
actuating western power diplomats
as a semblance Of peace was re-
stored to the troubled Berlin &C.
tor Of Germany and the US. airlift
eased off.
MANY OBSERVERS professed to
see in the Russian action proof that
the us. airlift operations had
shown the Soviets so d%ecisively the
futility of maintaining the block
ade, that even the obtuse eastern
ers finally had seen the light.
There were others who insisted
the blockade lift decision was mott
waited by a hope within the Kremlin
that such an action would delay
formation of a German peoples
government. However, this did not
seem a tenable theory, inasmuch
as the western powers already had
declared plans to go ahead with
such a project.
Seekers of peace attempted to see
in the decision evidence that Russia
really did not mean to make war
now and that some as-yet-obscure
motive looking toward continuation
of Red expansion without recourse
to arms was really behind the
move.
SINCE MOSCOW'S original an
nouncement concerning the end to
the blockade, the order was broad
ened. Restoration of transport,
trade and communications" serv-
ices was directed.
The order permitted 16 freight
trains a day to nov into Berlin,
restored highway traffic, waived
previous Soviet claims to search AL
lied baggage, and demanded Soviet
travel permits at certain check
points. Mail service was also to be
restored. Actually, the Soviet order
restored the Berlin situation to what
it was on March l, 1913.
Both British and Americans
moved in reinforcements for the
small units at border points to

Early day cattlemen were not long in finding out that range
grasses in Montana territory were unsurpassed for stockgroW-
ing. Grass, in the estimate of stocImen, is Montana's greatest

The Montana Stockgrowers association was organized in
1884. Ihe OFFICERS were Granville Stuart president. Ben Potts
man treasurer. The Montana Stockgrowers association was
preceded IN the fleld by an association of cattlemen in east

ready for the Russian lift of the Berlin blockade went busiy ahead as
agreements between the occupation powers fixed the time. Photos

tons fixed by the Soviets-rules which will permit 16 freight trains

Berlin with needed supplies despite the blockade was given major
