A cartoonist who turns out
lots Of cowboys and horses on
paper, Jim cartooned seven
pictures in az minutes in a
talent contest. He wasn't try

Walt Disney judges and others
made note of his speed when
he got to the finals.

On Saturday afternoons Jim

New 'Ruinmuker'
Called Success

CHICAGO. May 10 (P.-A
team Of overcoat-clad scientists
went out in near-zero cold last
February with a small ap-
paratus that generates silver
iodide smoke.
They directed a smoke stream
into a plume Of steam kissing
from the rear of the nuclear
reactor building at Argonne Ma
tional Laboratory in suburban
Lemont.
Ice crystals formed in the
steam and fell onto plastic
coated glass slides that had
been placed on the ground,
downwind from the building.
After correlating their find
ings, the scientists today re-
ported the experiment demon

prove-that man-made rain

Problems Of Escape
Those are primarily physical

One Of these methods is by

How does RIFE get its news?
1t uses a lot of it--for every
hour on the hour, RIFE broad
casts 10 minutes of news.
RIFE subscribes to major us.
and British news services, and
the principal newspapers of the
world. But much of its news
comes from its own sources -
from monitoring or listening to
broadcasts from communist sta
tons. Then, it has an extensive
news service of its own, with
news and information bureaus
ranging from Stockholm in the
northern part of Europe to Ath-
ems in the south.

which it distributes among its
five language desks.
A fascinating section of REFS

system. Here, through patient
day-by-day work, an extensive
and intensive record has been
built up of people and places in

They feel that if the RIFE pro-
grams were ineffective, if no
one listened, the communists
would not call attention to it by
ldenouncing it. And these govern
ments have made numerous ref
erences to RIFE in newspapers,
lin official statements and in
radio broadcasts.
These governments also have
Ispent and are spending large
sums of money to "jam" the
RIFE broadcasts. "A TANNER" is
