Man Obtains Court Order
To Get Bed from Stepson

BOSTON.-It took a court order,
but George MacMasters may sleer
now in the master bedroom of his
Holbrook home.
His 14-year-old stepson, John
Rock, must stop 'usurping" the
big bedroom and from now on must
sleep in a smaller room in the
attic.
Judge John E. Swift fixed the
sleeping arrangements in Suffolk
county superior court. At Mac
Masters request he issued a
temporary injunction restraining
the boy.
The 40-year-old linoleum-factory
pressman had charged that he was
prevented from enjoying the ease
and comfort OF my own home" He
asked the court to declare his STEP
son a trespasser in the home.
MacMasters told Judge Swift his
stepson's 'misbehavior is inspired
by his mother" Mrs. Ann Rock
MacMasters, from whom MacMas-
ters is seeking a divorce.

Poor Highway Systems
Costly to %Car.0wners

WASHINGTON. - Poor highway
systems over the country r the
greatest obstacle to economical and
low-cost automobile transportation,
an analyst of the Brookings institu-
ton reported.
He commended that unless more
and better traffic arteries were
provided, the motorist stood to lose
all the benefits he might obtain
from chronological improvements
of the automobile.
The study, conducted by Wilfred
Owen of the institutions staff,
noted that only five to ten cents
Of the highway transportation
dollar" was being currently spent
on highways. This proportion the
author regarded as too low. The
rest of the dollar is absorbed by
the purchase price of the car, gas
oline, repairs and other operating
items.
This he found to be the case just
as an unprecedented 40 million mo-
tor vehicles. 20 per cent more than
the prewar peak. in competi-
ton for highway space. Further
more, most Of today's roads were
declared not adapted to the require
ments of heavy volumes of high
speed traffic resulting from popula-
ton shifts, and a notable trend
from urban to suburban areas.

Electric Shocks TO Test
Elephant Fence Strength

PORT ELIZABETH.-Giving a
herd Of wild elephants electric
shocks to save them from extinction
has posed the problem Of how
strong a shock must be given to
make an elephant jump.
In erecting an electrified fence to
discourage the dwindling herd of
elephants of the Aldo bush near
here from straying over farm lands
where the farmers will wage war
on them, the keepers mapped a
plan to test the shock.
The elephants will be led to the
fence by a trail Of oranges-about
1000 oranges being used-with the
idea that the beasts will follow the
juicy trail aaa lean against the
fragile looking fence to knock it
down. Then they'll get a surprise.
When experts find how much
current is needed. they will fence
the whole area where the elephants

Musical Notes TO Test
Hearing Of US Sailors

CHICAGO.-The navy is ex-
perimenting with a musical
note test which it hopes will
prove to be a quick, easy meth
cd to discover men with extra
acute hearing.
Such men are needed to op-
crate sound-detecting and rang
ing gear used in antisubmarine
warfare.
The present time-consuming
method of testing hearing abil-
ity in the navy is the measure
ment Of the distance a person
can hear a whispered number
Of phrases.
This test is generally satisfac-
tory but not detailed or selec-
tive enough to meet special
needs.
The new method is more &C.
curate, standardized, and can
test as many as 300 men at one
time.

German Electric Seine
MAY Aid Whale Hunters

FRANKFURT. GERMANY.-Two
Germans have developed an cleo
trical device which, they say. at
tracts fish of a predetermined size.
stuns them with a slight electric
shock and causes them to fall into
the net.
Physicist Konrad Kreutzer and
Hamburg engineer Herbert Peglow
designed the apparatus for fishing
sparse deep sea banks, but it has
been tried out successfully in fresh
water.
At Hamburg they are fitting out
a former German mine sweeper,
with which they hope to revolution
ize the fishing industry.
In front Of a normal trawl net
they trail a metal plate attached to
a generator. By varying the type
and the strength Of the current
fishermen could lure big or small
fish, which develop symptoms Of
anesthesia. They are then scooped
up in the trawl.
The invention can also be applied
to the whaling industry. it il said.
Shocked" whales could be brought
alongside for inspection. then killed
or rejected.

NEW YORK.-People who think
the average us. citizen is a hard

other think coming, on the basis of
figures that show just what he

Milk. beer, soft drinks, coffee and
canned fruit and vegetable juices
are the nations five most popular
beverages, according to an Ameri-
can Can Company analysis of gov
eminent and industry figures.
On a per capita basis, the aver
age inhabitant of this country last
year consumed some 1905 quarts
of milk, TIP quarts Of beer, 48
quarts Of soft and carbonated
drinks, 1877 quarts of coffee and 8.3

BILE Juices, as compared with At
quarts of hard liquors. Cans are
used in some form in the packing
and distribution of all five Of the
favorites, the study showed.
An almost five-fold increase in
per capita consumption Of canned
fruit and vegetable juices during
the past 10 years was noted in the
analysis. New methods and pro-
cesses for canning fresh-flavored
orange, tomato and grapefruit

Doctor Treats
Healthy Folks
In Risky Roles

NEW YORK.-Most doctors trea'
sick people. But DR.. Vincent Mar
dielloy's patients generally are
strong. healthy brutes built like
human b~ulldozers.
They just happen to be in an TN
healthy business.
AS a house physician at Madison
Square Garden. DR.. Nardiello
never runs short of variety. His
cases range from a cowboys brain
conclusion induced by a horse to a
small boys stomachache induced
by too much circus candy.
The spectators. you see. are a
health problem. too. in an arena
which seats 10000.
The doctor has repaired the frac-
tured wrist of a Democratic judge
who fell off the platform during a
Republican rally mo foul play was
proved. He has treated the black
eyes Of fight fans who got to fight
ing, themselves. He has ministered
to spectators for heart attacks
brought on by thrills. for slight
bruises caused by a rodeo calf
which suddenly appeared in the
box seats. and for some Of the
worlds classiest bites at champion
ship dog shows.
Cowboy Customers
During the circus. DR.. Nardiello
averages about 10 kids a day who
are brought to his office with COM
plants of headaches, dizziness or
stomach pains all brought on bv
%overeating.
But generally the short. chunky
house doctor is kept busiest by the
assorted athletes and performers
most of whom are in top shape
when they enter the Garden.
His most frequent customers are
the rodeo cowboys. During their
stand at the Garden. he averages
Is to 20 cases of dislocated Shout
ders, fractures, bruises and rope
burns every night. In recent years
there we're two cowboys who died
within four minutes after being
kicked by horses.
The most durable athletes DR..
Nardiello knows are hockey play
ers.
III eve forget Johnny Now
ers. the Detroit goalie," the doctor
says. 'One night about five years
ago he was smashed squarely in
the teeth by a flying puck. He took
20 stitches and was back on the
ice in Is minutes"
He Needed 1,500
The biggest single job the doctor
ever had at the Garden occurred
in 1947, when he inoculated some
500 circus employees, including
the tatooed lady, for smallpox.
One of the most tragic involved
treating a trapeze flyer for shock !
and hysteria a few years ago. The
man had tried to jump from an
platform after seeing his
wife and partner miss her grip and
tall to her death.
The performers closest to the
heart are the fighters. He
Ised to be one himself, fighting
or a time as a lightweight to work
lis way through medical school.
DR.. Nardiello is 60 and still very
busy. He generally doesn't leave
he Garden until after midnight,
and the Garden is dark only one or
wo nights between Labor day and
ate spring when the circus ends.

lieves that the best pupils are
housewives in their early 30s.
Why? He doesn't know.

over some Of the incidents that
occur during lessons.

denly she wound up in the left

Moody.
"Oncoming cars were splitting
up around her like the tide around
a rock. Her instructor steered the
car over to the other side, where
upon she drawled, We sure did
get out Of that nice, didn't We"
Another anecdote Moody likes to
tell concerns a man. Learning to
shift on Lincoln Memorial dr., the
man yanked the steering wheel to
the right and placed the car in
line with the lagoon. Immediately
he reached for the brake but
stepped on the gas instead.
The wheels were on the grass,
with the car poised for a leap into
the water when the novice handed

He never returned for another les
son.
Many Questions Asked
Are there many stupid ques-
tons? Yes, the instructors say, but
''you get so used to dumb questions
you to consider them dumb"
Shifting frequently is difficult for
beginners. Irritated, they inquire
at stops: do I have to shift and
start all over again."
From back seat to front seat
driver is quite a jump for some
women.
"Its hard for many women to
learn to steer" an instructor said.
They're used to being passengers
and looking to the side. Now they
have to look ahead"
Sex, age and occupation have lit
tie influence On whether a pupil
will make a good driver.
Some teen ayers take to autos
like ace horses to a track. Others
