Most of the unusual specimens

“Some of the forms are so new

Specimen’s include a rare type

East Germans Stage a
De-Stalinization Blitz
.Vi v ' .•
BERLIN UFl — Communist East
Germany staged a blitz de-Sta lin -
ization Tuesday night, renaming
East Berlin’s showpiece boulevard
and removing its statue of Stalin
and countless other memorials to
the late Soviet dictator.
This morning only workmen
and debris remained as bulldozers
cleared the square where East
Berlin’s bronze Stalin statue had
stood since shortly after World
War iL
Stalinallee, the broad, three
mile avenue that is East Berlin’s
main street, had fresh name signs
—Karl Marx Allee—for half its
length and frankfurter Allee for
the rest. Frankfurter Allee was
the street's name before the Rus
sians occupied East Berlin.
Stallnstadt, a major East Ger
man iron and steel town on the
Oder River, was renamed Eisen
huettenstadt, or Iron Foundry
Town, according to a small front
page announcement in Neues
Deutschland, organ of the East
German Communist party.
Hie important Josef Stalin
plant in Berlin Treptow was re
named “Electrical Apparatus
Works Berlin-Treptow.”
The dictator's name-changing
was the first concrete sign of de
Stalinization in East Germany
since condemnations of the dic
tator were made public from the
Soviet Communist Party Congress '
last month and his body was re
moved from Lenin’s Tomb in
Moscow's Red Square.

“You have no choice,” Merritt
said. “Anybody desperate enough
to blast his way through two or
three concrete doors wants to
annihilate you anyway. People do
strange things when they panic.”
Merritt said the 20-by-20 foot
cavern in his backyard is pri
marily for his family of four and
the relatives — and possibly a few
more people.
“We’d take as many people In
as we can," Merritt said. “The
shelter can handle 16 for six
months and more for a shorter
time."
His steel-concrete structure, to
be completed in about a month,
will have plumbing and heat, a
radio transmitter, air filters, pri
vate water supply, bottled gas,
and a garbage disposal.
Before the contractors dug the
hole in his backyard, Merritt said
he canvassed the neighborhood
offering to include other families
in his plans for $100 a family.
He got no takers, he said.
Merritt said he will show his
shelter plans to anybody inter
ested in building one like it.

In an overall effort and follow

estimate construction cost of a
roadway suitable for track-type
vehicles such as the weasel be

Aerial route reconnaissance will
be made by the (during the
time that firm representatives are
under a separate contract) to sup

discussed relative to construction
cost and seasonal limitations.
This engineering firm Is also
under contract for a design to
reconstruct the Gambell Airport

Chances of Making a Single Pin
It is really surprising why so
many single pins (besides the
No. 7 and 10 pins) are missed.
When you calculate that your ball
is BM inches in diameter, and
tire pin 4.76 inches, that further
more you have a chance to hit
the pin on either side, you can
understand that you have almost
22 inches as your mark. In the
case of corner pins, you have less
however, the. width of the ball
and pin, or approximately 13.36
inches. ,~,
