Modern Seamen Tell
Of Strange Visions.
Vanishing Islands

NEW YORK - The ancient tales
OF seamen about strange visions
and ghost ships and vanishing is
lands are being retold by modern
seamen.
Here are some of the most re-
cent tales as reported in the Coast
Guard Bulletin:
The U. S. S. Chicago, a cruiser,
reported Urania island, jutting
ITO feet out of the sea, near Aogo
Shima in the Pacific. A year la
ter, seamen were astonished to
find no land at all there, but only
a row of breakers. Two months
later the Underwood Victory re-
ported not even the breakers re-
manned.
The American freighter, Charles
A. McCue, sailed for is miles
through a patch Of blood red
water off the west coast of South
America. The second mate and
helmsman saw a 80 foot octopus
trailing about helplessly in the
water while many large and small
fish floated on the surface. The
water changed color to pea green
when lifted aboard and placed in
a bottle.
The second officer of the Ameri-
can ship Henry Lamb reports he
clearly saw the peaks of mountains
which he identified as the Azores,
$50 miles away. The United Sta
ties navy later explained that
the irregular sunset heat had turn
ed the atmosphere into gigantic
lens and that he actually had seen
the islands.
Capt. G. T. Boyett of the Blue
field Victory reported 20 different
mirages on n evening in the
short journey from England to
France. They rated from three
lighthouses side by side and two
coastal cities, one inverted on top
of the other, to two tall, thin ships
also one inverted on the other.

BONN, Germany, After
months of research it was an
nounced that there are SO for

eminent, members of the popu-
larly elected B~undestag, or
parliament, of west Germany.
OF the SO, three were men,
bers of the elite guard.
The three party government
coalition breaks down like this:
OF 139 Christian democrats, 81
were Nazis. OF So Free De-
mocrats, 16 were Nazis. OF II
German party deputies, six
were Nazis.
The cluster Of nazis repre-
sents more than one-eighth of
the 402-man Bondestag. Most
OF them probably were pres
sured into joining the party af-
ter Adolph Hitler came to pow
er, but nine joined up before he
became chancellor.
Ten of the Nazis we're from
United States-occupied Ba-
varia. The British-occupied a.
rea of northern Germany con-
tributed 81. The Rhur state of
North R~hine-Westphalia, the
most populous in western Ger
man, had only seven former
Nazis in its 109-man delega-
ton.

New Cancer Technique
Like Barhecuing Roast

NEW YORK. - The American
Cancer society has reported a new
method of giving X-rays which
works like barbecuing of roasts.
The patient sits on a turntable.
which slowly revolves, while a
beam of X-rays plays on him. The
difference between this X-ray
treatment and b%arbecuing is that
the ray strikes only in a narrow
zone around the body.
This new method is used to treat
cancer deep within the body. The
X-ray is focused so its principal
strength hits about the site of the
cancer.
Such rays, however, burn all the
tissues through which they pass
before reaching the deep cancer.
Frequently the amount of X-rays
which can be given the patient are
limited by the amount of burning
of the healthy tissues.
The burning of the healthy It's
sues sometimes in~terferes so much
that a patients life cannot be
saved.
BY the barbecue method the x
rays remain focused on the cancer
all the time, but are never on one
spot of healthy tissues for long.
This results in a wider area burned,
but in less severe burning in any
n healthy area.
This technique was developed at
the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology by DR.. John G. Trump,
associate professor of electrical
engineering. DR.. Hugh F. Hare of
the Lahey Clinic, Boston reported:
This is the most promising
method evolved so far of treating
deep tumors susceptible to radia-
ton. including many cases previ-
ously considered inaccessible
The barbecue ray is two million
volts. AS a substitute, when the pa
tient cannot be rotated on account
of the cancer, several simultaneous
beams are used. They enter from
different angles. The healthy us
sues ere subjected to the burning
effects of only one ray, while the
lancer gets the combined effect o.
several.

Weeks Stock Gains
All But Wiped Out
In Final Session
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, July "a Qule

in smoke late this week.
In the last couple of hours o
trading on Friday nervous sell
ing-which had been almost alb
sent during the week-f1ared Vi
and the labored gains of two ant
one-half days were all but wipe,
out.
The Friday selling was baSet
largely on rumors, rumors which
were given a degree of factua
backing when it was announced
as the market closed that tn,

to the extent that caution key.
noted dealings.
Average About Unchanged.
On average the weeks dealings
left the market little changed
from Saturday a week ago. The
price level curved downward Mon
day. up on Wednesday (after the
Tuesday, July 4, recess and
Thursday, and down on Friday.
Opinion in Wall Street seemed
to be shaping up into two dis
tinct groups: One took the view
that our aid to the Koreans was
not the first step toward World
War III. This theory was based
on wisllful thinking and the fact
that thus far Russia had gone no
further than to verbally de-
nounce our behavior in the Far
East.
The other camp took the stand
that our sweeping change of Far
Eastern policy sooner or later will
lead us into open conflict with the
Sovlets. The only difference in
opinion here was of timing-does
Russia want war now or later?
Based. on the markets per-
formance both views leaned to the
academic side. In other words. the
general tendency was to sit back
and wait to see what happens
next.
Business News Ignored.
Business news which might nor
mally affect the market was rele-
gated to the background. The
economy was rolling along at top
speed-but traders were well
aware that Korean developments
might dig a trap around the next
corner.
The markets action late Friday
offered an interesting sidelight on
the nervous reaction of many
traders.
Radio-television issues took the
worst pounding, on the theory
that the Government would strip
key personnel from the electronic
business which would have to close
down anyway as non-essential
industry.
The worst of the selling was
soon over. but the market dis
played no resiliency. Closing
prices were just about at the days
lows.
People who were in such hurry
to unload their stock on Friday, of
course, were just as likely to be
back in the market buying Mon
day.

Teen-Age HighIighfs
By Elizabeth Brown

Hello Folks
Another week has rolled around
and I know all of you would
like to know what's going on in
town. This week I intend to give
my thoughts of who is the "cool-
est" and finest girls and boys here
in Phoenix.
Well, starting out the girls first,
because the old saying is ladies first.
The girl with the finest shape is
Doretha Goode, fine legs Shirley
Johnson, fine "moss" in other
words hair, Wilma Jean Judie,
the one who carries the big
gest smile, Helen Loring, the
one with the dreamfest eyes
you will have to ask the boys. The
most fine built boy is Jessie Jack
son, The one who thinks he has
a real cool walk is Willie Lee
Warren, the one who has quite
few girls in love with him, Rob-
ert Lee Green, the great lover,
the greatest football stars are
James Billion, Paul Kemp, and
Earliest Walker, the play boy is
no other than j. c. Walker.
Well, now we will get down to
the very thing you all are wait
ing for. Who was this that didn't
stay at the park but about five
minutes, would this by any chance
be Barbara Starr? Was it because
the young coyote came along?
Joan Ellison I think has found
her love and broke lot of hearts.
Maybe this guy is Anthony john
son. Edna Negro seems to be
turning on" here lately with
Horace Jackson. Where is Leroy
Totrus and what will happen 10
Gloria if he doesn't hurry back?
Dorothy Hicks has found her new
lover, I hope you two great lovers
have great success in this love
affair Lump Lump.
Othella Clark has so many boy
friends and dates that she gets
them all mixed up. What are you
going to do now? Some real fine
chick has great big eyes for Will
ford Moore. I wonder If he knows
who she is? What has happened
to Gus Armstrong "the all Amer
ican play boy?" Valma Jean
Thompson and Mamie Towns have
big eyes for Horace Clark. Ur-
bana Hopper and Robert Miller are
still a perfect couple, how is
everything shaking? Who is Zola's
love? could be James Williams?
Well this is it, so, long until next
week,
P. S.: If you have any news see
Jessenior or myself. Thank you.
