STRATFORD-ON-AVON, Eng
land, May dozens of detec-
tives started a house
search through this birthplace
of William Shakespeare today
seeking the tombstone muir
derer"-bizarre killer of a near
blind nurse.
The victim, Olive May Bennett,
was strangled eight days ago in
the parish churchyard just few
steps from Shakespeare's grave.
The killer tied her body to a
tombstone and flung it in the
Avon River. The body was washed
up Sunday.
The killer struck just as early
season tourists packed into the

Indianapolis Transit
Drivers on Strike
BY the Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS. May In
dianapolis bus and trolley driv-
ers struck here early today a
few hours after their contract
with the Indianapolis Transit
System expired.
Eight hundred drivers went
out.
The AFL Amalgamated Asso-
citation of Street, Electric Rail
way and Motor Coach Employees
voted the strike at 2 am. meet
ing in a wage disagreement.
Service was discontinued at $40
am.
w. Marshall Dale, president
of the Transit company. had re-
fused the union demand of a
pay increase of Is cents an hour.
He answered both a wage de-
mand and request it be SUBJ
mitted to arbitration by saying
the company could not afford to
pay a wage increase of any kind,
even if it were recommended by
an arbiter.
Ed Oliver, international rep
resentative of the union, said
the drivers present wage ranges
from $1.68 to SITS an hour.
PITTSBURGH, May l (P).-
The order went out last mid
night that the strike halting
Pittsburgh's trolleys and buses
was on, but early today one
and a half hours later-the 2,700
AFL workers seeking higher
wages were told to stay on the
job "for at least one week" more.
Union leaders said they had
agreed, in the public interest
and due to urging from Mayor
David L. Lawrence and AFL and
CIO leaders, to resume nego-
tiationS with management.

Nobel Winner Says Science
Needs Freedom to Survive

light on the mechanisms and
abnormalitieS of cell f1ssion
which is the cornerstone of all
higher organisms.
Experiments with these one
celled fungi. near the bottom of
the plant kingdom, were report
ed by DR.. Cornelius Tobias of
the University of California.
He has studied especially the
effect of radiations in prevent
ing or distorting the splitting of
the cells. Similar effects on
human cells may be basic in
radiation injuries, such as
would result from an atomic ex-
plosion.
Too small to be seen, the cell
nevertheless contains about a
trillion molecules of water, a
billion of fats and carbohydrates,
20 million of proteins and small
er amounts of the two acids
making up the cell nucleus. One
Of these, desoXynucleonic acid,
accounts for only about 5000
molecules, which apparently
control the behavior Of all the
rest.
The sexes of this cell are desig-
mated as A and B-for this still
is far below the level of male
and female. Cells divide in two
and then the parts fuse to form
new individuals in which char
acters of both A and B parents
appear. This makes possible the
variation upon which any evolu-
tionary changes depend.
When A and B cells are pushed
apart in the laboratory one splits
into many parts. The other-no-
body knows whether it is A or
B-does not split, but proceeds
to increase in size as much as 20
times in an effort to reach some
of the divisions of the other.
Some unknown force is acting,
presumably chemical in nature.
DR.. Tobias said. It is an ex-
tremely active, persistent force
perhaps the first manifestation
of sex in creation.
One of the major effects of
radiation. DR.. Tobias pointed out,
is to prevent the essential cell
fisSion.

effect on service morale.
The President spoke a few
minutes after attending lunch
con at the Pentagon at which
two of the principals in that
controversy-Secretary of the
Army Stevens and Assistant De-
fense Secretary H. Struve Hensel
were present.
Home Town Papers Cited.
Remarking that he knew
something about morale in the
armed forces and what produces
1t, Gen. Eisenhower said that the
soldier in the field is more af-
fected by his hometown paper
and letters from home than any,
thing else.
"He has got to know" the
President said, that the home
front respects and appreciates
what he is doing and has sup
port for him." He was speaking
to the Defense Advisory Com
mittee on Women in the Serv-
ices, in session at the Pentagon.

Commissioners Add
New Requests 10
District Budget
By George Beveridge

b The Commissioners decided
yesterday on additions to the 1855
District Appropriation bill that
will be made possible by enact
3ment of the public works revenue
measure, and ordered all-out
speed to get the new requests to
the Budget Bureau.
The supplemental requests will
not be made public until the
Budget Bureau sends them to
Congress to be added to the
stripped-down $141.3 million re-
quest submitted in January.
e. AS it stands now, the budget
contains no construction money
for schools, hospitals, welfare in
Stitutions and other projects fl
nanced through the city's general
fund.
Virtually Assured.
Senate passage of the $305
million, 10-year works revenue
bill yesterday, however, virtually
:. assured additional funds to per-
nit such construction. The
measure increased local taxes
by about $14.2 million and in
creased the Federal payment to
the city by SO million a year.
The Senate made only minor
changes in the House-passed
version. The differences are
expected to be ironed out
quickly in conference.
At their meeting yesterday the
city heads decided exactly what
general fund construction money
will be requested in the pending
budget. plus additional capital
outlay for highways and sewers
and additional operating money
for nearly every District depart
ment.
Engineer Commissioner Louis
w. PrentiSs said city budget Of
f1cers were told to compile the
data with all possible speed in
the hope of getting it to the
Capitol in time for budget hear
ings which probably will start
next month. Off1cials hope to
finish the job by next Wednes-
day.
Would Ask $11 Million.
AS far as the general fund
construction money is con-
cerned. however, it was believed
only minor changes were made
in a year-by-year breakdown of
the works program disclosed in
January.
This breakdown proposed that
$11, ,558,760 be requested for the
year starting July l. It included:
Schools-$5, ,233,760 for part
of the cost of nine buildings.
The buildings include: Elemen-
tary school, Stanton and Elvans

It looked bad for the fish. Worse

Immediate cries went up that
with such waste spread around
in great quantities the fish would
soon die, the sea would be con-
taminated and the lead COM
pany's leftovers would knock out
a commercial and sport fishing
business worth about SIS million

on the problem, the scientists

he'd like to look closer at the
red banded leaf roller, an Illinois
insect. which had been noticed
as naturally immune to DOT,
but very susceptible to TIDE

out the leaf roller would eat

Explosive Fertilizer.
In the last year, the academy
directed one prong Of an inves-
tigation for the Government into
the explosive qualities of ferti-
lizer Strict regulations had been
set up on all chemical fertilizers
coming in or out of the United
States, following the Texas City
blast of 1947, which was caused
when fire reached a shipment
of ammonium nitrate used for
fertilizer.
So strict were the regulations,
freighters carrying the stuff
could be handled only at iSo-
lated facilities in all ports. and
the market was restricted. But
with the study cempleted-out-
lining the makeup of each fer
tilizer, how its shipped and how
it acts if on fire-the various
qualities of fertilizer are better
understood, and regulations will
undoubtedly be relaxed to some
extent.
Another set Of regulations
studied by academy-colle
scientists proved rather Ambar-
RAISING to the Post Office De-
partment. The regulations dealt
with the transportation of radio
active substances. Drawn up in
1896 and continued to 1949. the
regulations curtailed or excluded
from the mails a long list of
articles and wound up with this
passage: Sc. any materials con-
tanning radioactive subtanceS."
Scientists investigating what
was dangerous and what was not
and the problems associated with
the transportation of radioac-
tive substances pointed out to
the Post Office the regulations
prohibited, of all things, paper.
To them, the regulations were
scientific nonsense since radium,
a radioactive substance, is in
every known material. whether
animal, vegetable or mineral.
The study led to revision of
the regulations, as well as better
methods of shipping the hot
item.
Aids Fishermen.
Even private enterprise needs

The National Lead Co. of
Sayreville, N. j., for one. had
always handled one of its prob

by the plant. City fathers Of
Sayreville, in time. objected to
this. and the lead company di-
rected its waste carrying barge
10-miles of the New Jersey
coast. where it proceeded to do
its dumping.
In approximately the same
spot of the Jersey coast. there
