are inhabited by monsters, min
noWs or nothing at all. Some in
vestigatorS think the ocean deeps
may be the realm of great sea
Iserpents or other monsters never
seen by humans. Others specu-
late that the depths contain only
creatures of microscopic size. Still
others believe the deeps are too
cold and barren to support any
! life.
Seeking answers to these and
other questions is q group of SCI
entiSts aboard the Danish frigate
IGalathea. The party consists of
104 men and one comely young
woman, who accompanied the
group as far as Manila.
| The woman is Miss Grace
Pickford of Yale University, who
studies octopuses. She made one
discovery studying life brought up
from the middle depths as the
Galathea worked it's way from
Copenhagen to Singapore, and
then to Manila. She found that
octopuses below 10000 feet are
things only big enough to make
a meal for octopus eaters.
Joining the expedition in
Manila was DR.. Claude E. ZoBell
from the University of California s
Scripps Institution of Ocean
ography. DR.. zoBell is one of the
top authorities on microbe life
deep in the earth. What he finds
out about bacteria 6 miles down
may have an important bearing
on the future of the search for
petroleum.
Another member of the group
lis DR.. Forben Wolff, zoologist.
One of his discoveries is that
really deep sea creatures don't
explode when they are brought to
the surface.
Mature never has been able to
devise a way to build up a pres
sure inside a fish or animal which
will equal that of the ocean below
10000 feet" DR.. Wolff said. $50
/ it doesn't try. Everything that
lives there is built for it-no air
pockets, no air bladders. Pressure
is equalized through their solid
bodies"
DR.. zoBell has found one strange
effect of extreme depths on mi
crobes. Under the terrific pres
sures of really deep water they
develop differently, and among
other thing, grow to comparative
giant size.
Finds Microscopic Worms
Heading the expedition is DR..
Anton F. Bruun from the Univer-
sity of Copenhagen. An old hand
at exploring the ocean bottom, he
has found that at 2 miles down
the ocean has a population Of mi
croscopic worms.
| Three miles down, 25 tests with
a one-quart container showed an
average of "a living things in
each quart of water - a pretty
thin population. :. At 4la miles
there are more microscopic worms.
The expedition hopes to scrape
a section of bottom Of the Min
danao deep OF Cape johnson.
where the depth registers 4,400
feet. To do this it will use $4,000
feet of thin steel cable, weighing
IA tonss The cable will pull a
dredge along the bottom. It's loads
will be hoisted to the decks with
electric winches.
One of the things the expedi-
ton will do will be to measure the
strength Of magnetic forces nearer
the earth's core than ever before.

they live, who they play golf with,

are related to other witnesses. IN
til recently, Senator'S and prosecu-
tors would have been confident
that refusals to answer that kind
of question would bring speedy
convictions. Now they're not so

Their confidence was first

reversed the conviction of Patricia

said some of the individual qucs-

have believed the general pattern
of the questioning was incrim-

Kefouver's Reaction
Senator Kefauver, former chair
man of the Crime Committee,
knew these decisions spelled
trouble. If the courts wouldn't
back up the committee, he wrote.
"a precedent will be set which will
encourage hoodlums to defy not

P. T. Barnum conceived the no

a wife to boost along his advertis-

Icrease the box-ofice receipts. In
Middleboro, Mass. he sought
Mercy Lavinia Mompus, or Bon

) family from which she was de-

; Barnum, and he substituted for
some purposes Lavinia Warren.
and soon she was being led to the
: altar of Grace Church, New York,
by the gallant Mr.. Thumb.
At this time Miss Warren was
80 inches tall and weighed %
