dog owners.
The Commissioners had an
nounced the st-ictCr regulations
effective October l3, but police
did not circulate a memo

give citizens a few days to
prepare for the change.

where the Circumferential

AS we rolled down off this
bridge the towers of the
power line along the Penn

horizon ahead.
We continued giving the
earth moving machinery on
the pavement a wide berth.
Then we ran out of pave
ment. The speedometer show
ed that we had come only a
mile and one-half. This was
very discouraging.
We continued cautiously
on the bank gravel. This
took us across the bridge
over the Pennsylvania tracks
with it's overhead power lines.
The paving resumed on
the other side of the tracks.
Only two-tenths of a mile
of the new highway was un-
paved.
At this point the highway
turns to the left and paral-

completed by December l. The
remainder of the city will be
surveyed at a later date.
Space for so or More
The survey will attempt to
find existing Government and
private buildings which have
walls capable of reducing by at
least 20-fold radiation entering
from the outside. The shelters
also must be large enough to ac-
commodate at least so per-
sons.
After adequate space is found
in private buildings, permis-
sion will be sought from the
building owners to use these
structures as shelters.
Once this permission is
granted, the shelters will be
marked in both the private
and Government buildings and
stocked with food. water. ra-
diation detection instruments
and other equipment.
The initial survey will be
training exercise because it will
involve the use of computers
and other techniques designed
to speed the survey process and
lower the cost of such studies.

Obstinate Seaguils Acquisition
 Airport Runway

NICE, France lP - Seagulls have reQuisitioned one end of Nice airport's runway and have so far defied all attempts by safe ty officials to dislodge them.
 The runway lies close to the Mediterranean and the gulls Wad- dled up the beach more than a year ago and roasted.
 Pilots of propellOr-driVen planes didn't begrudge their feathered colleagues a few feet of concrete; after all there was more than a mile of the stuff. But jet planes are a different matter. Jet pilots feared a low flying gull might be sucked into a jet intake and cause a crash
 The gulls had to go, they said But the gulls proved obstinate.
 Firecrackers, sexy decoys, mat ing calls, and even a red jecp with a siren couldn't shoo or e0tica the seagulls away from their chosen roasting place.
 In desperation, airport officials called in bird experts from the National Institute of Agronomic Research. After much pondering they came up with a theory:
 Seagulls have tender feet, the seashore alongside the airport is pebbly and probably the seagulls found it more comfortable to roost on the smooth surface of the runway.
 So what must one do? Buy the gulls shoes?
 Not at all, said the experts, just give them a stretch of smooth beach to stroll on.
 So the airport is spending sev- eral hundred dollars building 6 huge sandboX for the birds along the seashore and out of harms way. They protested the fine. grain sand for the beach by streW- ing some along the edge of the runway.
 The seagulls padded happily 1T it and seem to watching construc tion of their private beach Witt great deal of interest.

B. C. Scientists Make Studies of Fur Seal

NANAINO, B. C. lP - Two Pacific biological laboratory sci entists have returned after a month-long seal-hunting expedi- ton off the stormy west coast of Vancouver Island and Washing ton
 Ian Macaski, chief technician Of the stations Mammal Investi- gation Branch, and Ted Binners- ly, his assistant, collected 108 fur seals. They have killed 235 since early February.
 The trip is part of an extended study scientists are making of the fur seal, an animal which long has been of economic interest in the Northern Pacific.
 Canada, the United States, Ja- pan and Russia are cooperating in the five-year study.
 Shouts are collected to deter mine the seals age by studies of he teeth, and stomach contents are analysed to determine their feeding habits. Reproductive or gans are also preserved for labor atory study.
 Early next week the team will return to the sea to scout the waters off the west coast of Vancouver Island, where the seal herds are forging steadily north ward to breeding grounds on the fog-shrouded Pribilof Islands in the Boring Sea.

Leo DurOcher Finally Gets the Boot from Umpire

LOS ANGELES LR - Dodger coach Leo Durocher today was suspended for three days, April 17-19, for a shin-kicking hassle with an umpire last night.
 National League President War ren Giles was quoted as saying, however, he felt the umpire, Jocko Conlan, acted wrongly.
 The Dodgers professed great bafflement at this.
 Durocher - the first man most umpireS would have in mind if they ever contemplated homicide - made his return to baseball of ficial yesterday by getting into a beef where footWork was not only important but where it was the essence of the fight
 For there in the Coliseum, in full view of 27,716 astonished wit nesses, a major league umpire and a major league coach came to blows with their feet.
 The battle developed quickly. What started it all was an in- nocent looking pop-up hit by Dodger first baseman Norm Lark CT in the fourth inning of the Los Angeles-Pittsburgh game.
 The ball landed in fair ground between home plate and first base then bounced foul. Conlan, holding that no one touched it in fair territory, called it a foul ball.
 The Dodger dugout seemed to empty like a burning hotel, but Coach Durocher and few others stayed inside, throwing white towels and purple adjec- tiVeS.
 Their contention was that Pirate
The Nome nugget., 1961-04-17

catcher Hal Smith touched the ball in fair ground, so it should have been a fair ball.
 Conlan walked over and in- structed Durocher to proceed to the bathhouse with deliberate speed.
 Durocher sprang from the dug out like man released by cata- putt He rushed at Conlan - who might make good jockey if he could drop 10 pounds - and kick ed some dirt up in front of him.
 Jocko responded with a kick of his own, and nailed Leo on the shin. Leo counter-kicked, land ing nicely. Jocko struck again, catching Leo on the shin he had missed last time. Leo, in trouble but still game, got in one more kick before he was pulled away by pitcher Don Drysdale and Jocko was restrained by his fel- low arbiters.
 It was generally agreed four blows were landed, two by each combatant. Jocko was ahead 5-3 on the Assocated Press score card when the fight was stopped.
 After that, there was only sec ondary interest in the game, which the Dodgers won 1916.
