The action began 200 yards

Pvt. Oliver set of the rescue

It was close to being a family
party as the Metropolitan Opera
banged, shouted and hauled at
the stage Of the Capitol Theater
today for its opening night.
The opera will present la
Traviata" tonight and Faust"
tomorrow. Both curtains are at
8 o'clock.
The biggest family was the
Hausers, all Of them from
Washington.
Ernie Hauser. an electrical
worker, was explaining to the
master electrician that he
needn't worry about a signal to
raise the orchestra pit.
"That bass viol player always
lets us know when the Or
chestra's ready" he said. Hes
a little short guy and he waves
his hands" Ernie, who lives in
College Park. used to work at
the Capitol when it ran stage
shows, and always helps set UP
the Metropolitan.
Wardrobe Workers Rounded Up
Ernie's mother. a little gray
haired woman, was rounding up
wardrobe workers. She has been
with the wardrobe ladies' local
for more than 40 years. She
lives at 5802 Forty-second ave-
nue.. Hyattsville.
Erriie's uncle. William Hauser
Of 939 First street NE. also on

switches, directing spots and
plugging in floodlights.
Ernie's cousin, big Bill"
Hauser Of 342 Onondaga drive,
Forest Heights. Md, was testing
DINNER switches on the big
board backstage.
Ernie's aunt, Mrs. Clara Gehr-
man of Takoma Park, is a ward

the opera is here. He turned out
the lights on a movie called
"Bedevilled" yesterday and will
turn them on for another
movie called Purple Plain" on
Wednesday.
Ernie's grandfather, Nick
Wylie, was present too, but only
in spirit. He died on the stage
Of the National Theater Is years
ago, while setting up a show for
Oracle Barrie.
Stage Swarming
The Capitol stage swarmed
with carpenters. property men
and electricians. The Metropoli-
tan brought about Is boss stage
hands. The rest Of the men,
about SIS of them. are local
workers.
One of the families travels
with the show. They are a
father-and-son team. Ralph
Edison, master of properties, has
been with the Metropolitan more
than 80 years. His son, Louis
Edison. q, is the master
mechanic, in charge Of the car
penters.
But the biggest family of all
was represented by Mrs. Louise
Balderson, a wardrobe lady, of
871 South Greenbrier street,
Arlington.
Louise entered show business
in a burlesque chorus line. She
had seven children then. Twen-
ty-flve years ago she quit bur-

East Bethesdons Protest
Wisconsin Bypass Plan

A proposal to alleviate trafic
congestion on Wisconsin avenue
in Bethesda by construction of a
Pearl street bypass has aroused
q storm of opposition among
East Bethesda residents.
The bypass Is the key item

Seven Primary Abilities
Listed as Making UpI.Q.

There are many "IQ's"-not
just the one of classical psy-
biologists.
This was reported before the
National Academy Of Sciences
here today by Prof. L. L. Thur
stone of the University Of North
Carolina.
The mind grows in hops and
jumps, DR.. Thurstone explained.
Human intelligence. he said. no
longer can be considered single
entity but consists of at least
seven primary abilities which
differ from individual to individ-
ual. The primary abilities he
observation-disclosures may be many
more-are speed of perception,
appreciation Of relations between
objects In space. understanding
of words, fluency in the use Of
words. memory and ability to
reason. These mature at quite
different rates.
DR.. Thurstone's conclusions
Evening star., 1955-04-25

were based on testing a large
school population between ages
Of 5 and 10.
The older conception of the
10 was that ones intelligence
reached an approximate maxi
mum at about IA, from which
time it remained stable through
out much Of life. Thus the
average intelligence of 14-year-
olds, based on tests, was rated as
an 10 Of 100.
This led to much misunder-
standing through the use Of such
statements as "the average in
telligence Of the American
people is that of a 14-year-old, T"
the implication being that it was
very low.

Bridge while trotting along be-
hind Nell and two companions,
sophomores from Washington
and Lee University.
1--WE were just above that little
dam across the river-the feeder
dam-when Mopsy went in,"
said Nell. II went in after her."
The current was swifter and
stronger than Nell calculated
She managed to grasp the dog,
but the water swept her and the
dog over the dam. She grabbed
a rock just below the dam and
hung on. still clinging to the
dog.
One Of Nell's companions,
Francis Kalmbach, 20, twice
tried to swim through the swift
water above the dam to reach
her. It was impossible. The
other friend, Bob Toll, also 20.
went for help.
II don't know what would
have done without them" said
Nell. 1.-THE water was so cold.
When Francis saw he couldn't
get to me, he kept my spirits
up-he told me how to move
around and keep warm"
The Glen Echo and Bethesda
Chevy Chase Rescue Squads ar
rived with boats and ropes to
save Nell and her pet.
Capt. C. P. Kocher, 1t. F. r.
Field jr., and Pvt. Robert Hook
of Glen Echo made their way out
into the middle Of the river in
a rowboat just above the dam.
The boat was secured to a rope
tied on shore and anchored in
mid-stream. They couldn't go
out in the boat below the dam
where Nell was because it was
too rough.
With their boat perched just
above the dam, the rescuers
tossed Nell a line.
II got the rope tied under my
arms all right without letting
go of Mopsy," she recalled But
every time they tugged at the
rope, Mopsy and both were
dragged under the water. When
they gave the last big heave to
lift us over the dam Mopsy Slip
ped out Of my arms"
That last heave brought Nell
to safety. but the little dog dis
appeared in the rapids.
A helicopter was sent up from
Quantico. Va. to lower a life
line to Nell in case the rescue
squad men could not reach her.
She was pulled to safety and
taken to Georgetown University
Hospital for treatment for ex-
posure just before the helicopter
arrived. The pilot of the hell
copter notified Nell later that he
thought he saw a black and
white dog like Mopsy on an is
land below the rapids.

Tests Reveal
How Radiation
Poisons Blood
BY THOMAS r.. HENRY
Science Editor Of The Star

Radiation creates a virulent
poison in the blood.
Minute injections of the blood
serum Of highly irradiated rats
killed unradiated rats with much
the same syndrome as that pro-
duced by radiation itself.
This was reported to the Ma
tional Academy Of Sciences
meeting here today by DR.. Abra-
ham Edelmann of the Atomic
Energy Commissions Brook
haven laboratory on Long
Island.
The first rats were given an
extremely heavy and always IA
tai dose of X-radiation-1, 900
roentgens over the whole body
which is about three times the
amount required to kill a man.
The serum injections were given
a day later to rats from which
the adrenal glands were re-
moved. They invariably died.
Blood serum from non-irradi-
ated animals had no such effect.
Killed by Smaller Dose
When rats were irradiated and
given the poison blood serum at
the same time they were killed
by a much smaller dose of X-rays
than would have been normally
effective.
Nature Of the radiation-pro-
duced poison is as yet entirely
unknown. It begins to appear in
the blood about 10 hours after
irradiation and its concentration
appears to increase steadily for
several hours If the blood is kept
at zero temperature. It COM
pletely disappears in a half hour,
however, if the blood is stored
at a temperature of about 10 F..
Mice can be made to survive
more than double an ordinarily
100 per cent fatal dose of ra-
diation with appropriate before
and-after treatments, it was re-
ported by DR.. Alexander Hol-
lander Of the commissions Oak
Ridge laboratory.
Get Biotic Infections
The animals are given various
chemical drugs before they are
irradiated. Immediately AFTER
wards they are given extracts of
bone marrow or spleen, the
blood-forming organs, and in
jections of various biotics, like
streptomycin, to prevent infec-
ton due to the changed blood
picture.
The methods being developed
at Oak Ridge, DR.. Hollander
stressed, apply only to immedi-
ate survival of the animals.
Nothing is known Of their ef-
fects on heredity, the Develop
ment Of leukemia or of cata-
racts, or on the fertility of the
species.
