Hunt for Navy Bomber
Abandoned With Raft
Sole Clue 10 lis Fate
BY the Associated Press

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, April
1.-THE big aerial search for the
United States Navy patrol bomber
which disappeared mysteriously
over the Baltic Sea with 10 men
aboard was abandoned today.
The only possible clue to the
fate of the plane, last heard from
week ago last Saturday at the
same time the Russians said their
fighters exchanged shots with an
American bomber over Latvia, was
a yellow life raft found yesterday
floating in the sea.
The life raft, it's food contain
ers empty. was found by the little
British freighter Beechland, about
IS miles east of Stockholm, Swe-
den. The spot is 200 miles north
of the Latvian city of Lepaya

their fighters chased off United
States bomber.
Due in Finnish Port Today.
The Beechland continued on its
scheduled course to the Finnish
port of Kotka where it is expected
to arrive this afternoon.
The derelict raft will be flown
back to Copenhagen. where United
States Air Force officials will ex-
anime it to determine whether it
belonged to the missing Navy
"Privateer." Although the Beech
land radioed that no note was
found on the raft, officials hope it
may give some clue as to what
became of the bomber and it's men
Despite the finding Of the raft
on the scheduled last day of ar
intensive search by sea and all
over the Baltic-the search was
called off last night. The Soviet
press claimed the operation was q

Bluffton which grabbed the spot
light in Northwestern Ohio's Fourth
of July celebrations last year is all
set to repeat the performance with
an expanded program of events-big
parade and rodeo again heading the
celebration with a carnival as an
added attraction-frst of the at
fractions arrived Monday -. the
whole thing is far and away the
biggest undertaking in the way of a
community celebration ever staged
here something of that sur
charged atmosphere of impending
events similar to the night before a
big football game-or prize fight =.
under surface calm there is feverish
last-minute activity as committees
scramble to put on final touches for
carnival, parade and rodeo -. CIV
en- favorable weather everything
points to record-breaking crowds
one of the big problems is that of
sufficient parking space-however,
the committee in charge says they
will have the answer and an extra
detail of traffic cops will be on
duty to keep everything running

That monkey-face owl nesting IN
the town hall clock tower is a good
proyider for her little brood, to say
the least. The mother owl was
sighted the other evening about dusk
out South Main street flying low
with a mouse in her clutches and a
few minutes later was seen stlii
clutching the luckless mouse edglng
her way into the clock tower with
the dainty morsel for her babies.
And over at Beaverdam mother
coon is rearing a litter of young
| in an improvised nest at the bottom
of a fue in the office building OF the
Nelson Tile company.
Hollow trees, usually selected for
nesting are apparently becoming
scarce and the mother coon was first
noticed when she clawed a hole in
the roof, presumably seeking a nest.
Finding nothing there to her liking,
she chose the fue, in which, for
tunately there is no fire at this sea-
son.
Mother coon stays on the nest
during the day, but at nightfall goes
out to forage for food. The young
sters are becoming accustomed to
their unusual role as a center of at
traction for curious Beaverdam res
idents and set up lively chatter
when visitors peer down the chin
ney to glimpse them in their cozy
abode.
