The Montana Highway Patrol
is urging all pedestrians to walk
at night facing traffic when no
sidewalks exist; to wear some
thing white: and to remember
how invisible they may be to
oncoming drivers. Drivers, them
selves, are being urged to re-
duce their speed at night and
to be doubly alert for the night
walking pedestrian.

"Seoul City Sues on now! J
We might hear some American
POWs!" announced the co-pilotI
on a courier plane enroute from
Japan to Korea. This 'Toyko
Rose Of the Korean War" comes
on every evening around 8 with
her running commentary on the
latest atrocities" credited to
Americans. Susie" originally
operated from Seoul until the re-
capture of the old capitol by the
Allies. Her program, sponsored by
Joe Stain himself. may be heard
on Radio Peking.
Susie's forced British accent has
a deep theatrical quality which is
certainly in keeping with her
staging" I listened as an Amer
lean prisoner stated his name fol-
lowed by this message to his wife
back home:
II love you, darling. Don't
worry q. I'm fine. They treat
me well here. -. I hope this
wars over soon. !" He spoke
clearly. Pilots occasionally listen
to this program for lack of any,
thing else to do. When I remarked
that had just heard an Ameri-
can POW raving about the good
food in a Connie prison camp,
the co-pilot laughed.
"Sure!" he said. Wouldn't you
say the same thing If you had a
gun stuck In your ribs or if
you thought a few lies might help
get you out of the placer"
Atrocity stories of our captured
Americans vary. but there are
many boys who have escaped, such
as the one I met in Tokyo.

Fish HoWIs
Heard by
Press Club
By Fronces Lide

The illusion that the sea is q
place OF deep abiding quiet was
shattered yesterday for Women's
National Press Club members by
the growls and howls of an as
sortment of fish and marine
mammals.
The impreSario of the under
water symphony was Rachel l.
Carson. author of "The Sea
Around Us" who used recordings
to demonstrate the cry of the
porpoise. the crackle of the snap
ping shrimp and the strickland
its reSounding echo-of an un-
identified creature, presumably a
fish, from the depths of the ocean
north of Puerto Rico.
Miss Carson, whose book cur
rently tops non-fiction best-seller
lists, appeared at a luncheon at
the National Press Club which
also featured Bess Furman, au-
thor Of the newly published
white House Profile"
Although biologists have known
about fish talk" for long time,
probably SO per cent of the gen.
eral public thought of the under
water world as a place of deep
silence until the beginning of
World War II, Miss Carson pointed
out.
Devices used in the Chesapeake
Bay to detect the presence of sub
marines picked up a roar that
was discovered to be the sound of
fish moving into the bay, she con-
tinued. Subsequently, methods
were developed to screen out such
noises, so that it would be possible
to hear the propellors of man
made craft.
Incidentally. the author said,
croakers Cor hardheads), which
abound in the bay during the
summer, are among the most gre
garious of fish and like to talk to
each other.
The recordings used by Miss
Carson came from the Woods
Hole Oceanographic Institution
on Cape Cod. She first obtained
them when she was slated to ap-
pear at book and author lunch
con in New York on the same
program with Jimmy Durante.
After her show, the comedian re-
marked that he had followed lots
of acts in his time, but nothing
like fish talk.
In presenting the speakers,
Josephine Ripley, club president,
pointed out that the program
covered the waterfront - from
the national depths of the sea
to the goldfish bowl that is the
White House"
Miss Furman, whose new book
required painstaking research, re-
lated a scandal or two of earlier
eras and told the answer to a
question which once had worried
her-why Thomas Jefferson, the
great gadgeteer, hadn't made any
gadgets for the White House. HE
did," she said her research dis
closed. ut was only the fact
that the British burned the White
House that they don't remain"

Hits Gate Receipts
At Sports Events
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-The
snow and rain that swept the
Atlantic Seaboard and parts of
the Midwest played havoc with
gate receipts at sports events last
night.
And one event, an Eastern
Hockey League game at Wash
ington. was postponed because of
weather.
Only 339 braved the traffic
snarling storm at Philadelphia,
where the Warriors beat Fort
Wayne in a National Basketball
Association game. The Indianap-
olis-Cincinnati American Hockey
League game at Cincinnati drew
only 758.
The fast-traveling Olympians
whipped New York in an NBA
game before 2,218 at indianapolis.
In New York, where more than
3 inches of snow fell, Kid Gavilan
stopped Walter Cartier in the
10th round before 6,253 fans at
Madison Square Garden.
At least one college basketball
game was cancelled. Kings Point
and Fairfield Comm called off
their game because of snow.
