! Youths In New York
With Sizeable Arsenal
NEW YORK, UPt—Police round
ed up 27 youths in two well
armed gangs Wednesday night,
probably preventing more killing
in the tense Bronx area where
16-year-old John Guzman was

One group of six youths, three
of them over 21, were trapped by
police on a rooftop with a pile of
nine “Molotov cocktail” gaso
line bombs, a shotgun with 22
shells, two hunting knives and a
box of .22 caliber cartridges.
The rooftop ambush was appar
ently the outgrowth of a planned
“rumble” between the gang to

the gang identified with his kill
ers.
ASTRONOMY NOTES
By OLAF HALVERSON
Astronomy is useful in naviga
tion. From the position of stars,
ships are conducted from port to
port almost without risk. This
lessens the loss of human lives
j and goods, thereby lowering the
cost of goods and other necessities
| needed for existence.
The great national observatory
| at Greenwich is one of those
founded for the special and -prac
tical purpose of improving the
astronomical means of navigation.
Astronomy is useful in geodesy
; and surveying in that it enables
us to determine the size of the
earth. It helps us make accurate
maps of the continents and
oceans. Boundaries between coun
! tries and land properties are de
| termined by observing the stars.
The Harvest Moon has been
shining during the week and its
path makes a very small angle
with the horizon. The autumnal
equinox or the time of equal day
'hnd night is now in evidence.
Explosion of Anesthetic
Kills Woman in Surgery
BRADFORD, Pa., UPi—A woman
patient died on the operating
table at Bradford Hospital Wed
nesday after absorbing most "of
the force of an anesthetic explo
sion inside her mouth.
Hospital administrator Robert
Cole said a volatile anesthetic ex
ploded in its container while Doris
Wolford was undergoing surgery.
Cole said the force of the blast
traveled through d tube and into
Mrs. Wolford’s mouth.
He theorized that a spark from
one of the motors in the room
| may have ignited the anesthetic.
