Jeep “Half Safe’
Is Nearing Adak
SHEMYA, UPi—A radio message j
received last night from the am
phibious Jeep Half Safe reported
it was “very close” to the north
east tip of Adak, that all was well.
The message came from Ben
Carlin, 45, of Perth, Australia,
and his companion, Boyd De
Mente, 28. Phoenix, Ariz. They'
left Shemya July 18 for Adak
Island, 350 miles west of here.
The Half Safe arrived at Shem
ya July 17 after a hazardous 25
day voyage from Japan.
On the trip from Japan to
Shemya the Half Safe’s radio
failed. Some radiomen stationed
at Shemya worked over the ra
dio. An airline station here has
been in daily contact with the
Half Safe during the voyage to
Adak.
Only trouble reported by the
adventurers was that some kelp
caught in the heat exchanger
■pipe, but the kelp was removed
and the Jeep engine was alright.

patrol bomber, third to crash
since last Friday, exploded and

PHILADELPHIA POLICE
ARMED WITH DICTIONARIES
PHILADELPHIA, UPL-The Po
lice Department of this city has
added some new equipment—
dictionaries.
An increase in paper work in
recent years has brought on too
many misspelled words in official
reports, officials felt. All papers
with incorrect spelling must be
done over according to regula
tions.
So the dictionaries have been
issued to every station house and
detective division in the city.
House Committee
Kills Bill for Dam
At Hells Canyon
WASHINGTON, UR—'The House
Interior Committee today voted
16-14 to kill a bill to authorize
federal construction of a high
Hells Canyon dam in the Snake
River.
Two Democrats—Reps. Shuford
<NC) and Haley (Fla)—joined the
14 committee Republicans in vot
ing against the bill.
The action was taken on a
House bill introduced by Rep.
Pfost (D-Idaho). It left alive in a
a subcommittee a second bill al
ready passed by the Senate.
However, opponents of the
project said today’s vote means it
is dead.
The Pfost bill would have auth
orized construction of a federal
built dam in the Snake River
stretch of the Idaho-Oregon bor
der where Idaho Power Co. has
been given Federal Power Com
mission approval to build three
smaller dams.

week’s vacation at the Pilgrim
Springs where she visited with
her son Peter who is working

The ear can pick out one of a
mixture of sounds and enable the
brain to concentrate upon it with
out particular regard for the
others—something no man-made
mechanism has ever succeeded in
doing.
