There amt no such animal"
This, in substance, was the re-
action of research experts to re-
ports that herd of mature Here
ford cattle, all under % inches
high. has been found in a lost
canyon" in the West.
There was no disputing the fact
that Gene Hotter, a Jamestown
On. Dak.) animal trainer, had
come up with some small-sized
cattle. Mr.. Hotter presented pic
torial evidence of that.
But the question uppermost in
the minds of experts was whether
the animals. hauled out of the
secret location last week by hell
copter, had reached full maturity.
Mr.. Hotter told reporters he
had five of the pint sized beasts
locked up in barn and was going
back to pick up 20 more that
made up the strange herd. He
also said two veterinarians had
attested to the full maturity of
the cattle.
DR.. Hugh c. McPhee, assistant
chief of the Agriculture Depart
ment's Bureau of Animal Hus-
bandry in charge of research in
vestigation. said he would remain
dubious about the whole thing
until he knew all the facts.
THE size described-24 to %
inches and weighing $50 to 225
pounds-is about that of a normal
Hereford calf at birth" he said.
Hereford bulls weigh from 1,7OO
to 2,400 pounds. and grown cows
weigh up to 1,400 pounds.
In the South there is a semi
dwarf type known as the bulldog
or guinea. This short-legged vic
tim of mixed breeding often
weighs 500 to 600 pounds. But DR..
McPhee said he had never heard
Of one as small as the Western
dWarfs.
Specializing on the history of
the Western herd. DR.. McPhee said
the animals might have been the
victims of a recessive genes, a
pituitary or thyroid deficiency, a
feed shortage or a combination
of the three.
Experts scoffed at the theory
this might be a lost herd" of
cattle. pent up in a remote canyon
for hundreds of years.

Top Hog Prices Decline
To Lowest Since OPA
By the A,soeiatsd Press

CHICAGO. Oct. 1.-THE ton
price paid for hogs here today was
the lowest since OPA ceilings were
removed on October Is, 1916.
Best-grade hogs brought $18.15,
which compared with a previous
low Of $18.25 made several times
earlier this year. The former OPA
ceiling was s16.25, and hogs
jumped to $27.50 the day after
that maximum was removed.
Average price of all hogs sold
today was not at a new low. The
Agriculture Department estimated
the average price at around $17.87.
On April Is this year the average

lings that might grow twice as
large. Two or three such dwarfs
came to his attention in Mary
land last year. The smallest he
has seen was about 3 feet tall and
weighed 500 pounds, he said.
DR.. Foster recalled that the
Shetland pony evolved from the
horse because of a tight feed
situation in which only the
smaller animals could exist. But
cattle have not been in this coun-
try long enough to have produced
a similar strain, he said.
Most battling was the claim Of
Mr.. Hotter that a score more OF
the pee-Wees are in the canyon
and that no full-sized cattle were
found. For a dwarf to emerge
from a normal strain once in
every several hundred births is not
unsual, but there is no record Of
an entire herd of them.

InaudibIe Alarm Sent
Over Radio Without
Breaking Programs
BY the Associoted Press

MITCHELL FIELD, N. Y, Oct.
1.-THE Air Force announced
promising results" today from an
air raid warning system that takes
only Z seconds to slip a coded,
inaudible alarm into any ordi-
nary radio broadcast.
Only special receivers in key air
raid warning centers-such as
police stations and sheriff's offices
would register the alarm by
light, bell or buzzer.
The organized civil air defense
would snap into action on the
basis OF fresh information from
military air defense control CEN
ters telling the degree of alert
yellow, blue or red.
System Shows Great Promise.
Mai. Gen. Robert M. Webster,
commanding the Eastern Air De-
fense Force, with headquarters at
Mitchell Air Force Base on Long
Island. had this comment:
THE system was given its first
widespread military test during
operation Lookout held in the
10 Northeastern States Septem-
Der 10 to 16. It showed great
standpoint of speed"
One test of the radio system
Gen. Webster said. originated dur
ing Operation Lookout" at a
secret air defense control center
in Ne.1 York City, which flashed
a warning to radio station WNBC,
Port Washington. N. Y.
WNBC carried the coded signal
on a regular program. Station
WGBI, of Scranton. Pa. picked
up the coded alert on its special
receiver. and re-transmitted it to
the key air raid warning center
for Scranton.
In New England, an alarm of
more than 100 National Guard
planes Stimulating an attack was
sent by the control center The
alarm Travelled to Station WBZ.
Boston. and a key point air raid
warning center at Montpelier. vt.
Listeners Can't Hear 1t.
The double duty that the sta
tions were performing was not
known to persons listening to the
programs.
Commercial radio stations went
off the air during alerts IN the
last war to prevent possible hos
tile aircraft from using them to
get to a target.
Under the new system, the sta
tions could be turned on inter-
mittently to carry the coded
signals.
The Radio Corp. of America
first developed the new system in
1941. but it was not perfected
until recently, the Air Force said.

New Rodor Setup Eiudes
Earth Curvature Barrier

LOS ANGELES. Oct. II P.-
The Navy has disclosed a new
ship p-to-air radar setup that allows
ship-borne radar to get around
the curvature of the earth barrier.
Pictures of the new Douglas
AD-3-W sky-raider, released yes
rterday, showed that the versatile
single-engine craft carries a bulg-
ing plastic radar dome under the
wing.
The device allows ships radar
to direct its beam at the air-borne
radar which in turn relays the
beams toward targets over the
horizon. It makes ship radar four
times more effective than the
present 30-mile range from atop
a carrier.

Senators Push Drive
For Final Agreement
On 7 Big Military Bill!
By the Associofed Press

Senate leaders opened their
last-round drive today to push
two big military money bills
through Congress in the next 48
hours.
Chairman Mcclellan said he is
hopeful the Senate Appropriations
Committee will get prompt agree
ment on these two measures:
The $1.3l4.010.O0O program for
strengthening the defenses of
Western Europe and other nom
Communist countries.
The multi-billion dollar appro-
priations for the Army, Navy and
Air Force,
Il think we can reach agree
ment in a short time" Senator
Mcclellan told a reporter.
Final Action Set For Today
He called the appropriations
group to meet at 2 pm. to take
final action on the foreign arms
bill. There were no signs of any
serious opposition to the full
amount.
This measure would provide ST.
900. 100000 for Western Europe's
defenses. The balance would 90 to
Greece, Turkey, Iran, the Philip
pines, Korea and the China area.
The tough nut to crack is the
Armed Forces money bill which
has been stalled for the past
month by Senate House dispute
over Air Force funds.
The Senate went along with the
Presidents budget recommended
tions for a 48-group Air Force. The
House boosted the figure by about
100000 in support of a So
group force.
The two houses have been dead
locked on this issue with both
stubbornly refusing to give ground.
A break is expected in the stale
mate anytime now. Senator Nc
Kellar said he would try to get
the Senate and House conferees
together again to iron out their
differences.
Senate May Give in.
| There is still talk that the
Senate may give in to the House
demands-and then rely on Presi-
dent Truman not to use extra
money. But House members say
the President couldn't take this
responsibility since the House
voted 305 to one for the 5S-group
Air Force.
The Army and Navy funds are
not in dispute.
The Senate itself tackled today
long list of minor measures, to
be followed by action on the So
called basing point bill.
The basing point compromise,
already approved by the House,
was in for some blasting. Sen
ator Long, Democrat. of Louis
lana and others contend that it's
provisions leave small business
wide open for big-business price
cutting. t~'''''' 1905.
AS approved by the House, the
basing point bill would permit
business firms to absorb freight
costs in fixing their prices, so long
as there is no collusion with COM
petitorS.
