JERUSALEM UP — Adolf Eich
mann concluded 25 days of testi
mony today with a plea to his

j Danish Scientist
To Hunt Whales
With Boh & Arrow
ANNAPOLIS, Md. UPi—A Mary
land scientist will hunt whales in
the Arctic this summer with bow
and arrow.
Dr. Vagn Flyger of the Natural
Resources Institute of the Uni
versity of Maryland hopes to
prove whales can be taken easier
and less destructively this way
than with explosive weapons.
The arrow will be tipped with
hypodermic needles carrying le
thal doses of a drug, succinylcho
line chloride. Flyger has used !
arrows with lighter doses suc
cessfully in capturing deer for
shipment about the state.
If his expedition is successful,
it could prove a boon to the
whaling industry, which is now
reported experiencing economic
difficulties.
Flyger, a native of Denmark,
expects to leave here today and
will travel by plane and Eskimo j
boat to the mouth of the MacKen
zie River in Canada’s Northwest
Territories.
Flyger will be based in an Es
kimo village and will hunt from
Eskimo boats during the three to
four weeks of his stay.
The 39-year-old stocky, blond
scientist helped develop a special
hypodermic needle for the proj
ect. It measures 5V4 inches and
is equipped with three sharp
barbs to hold it in the whale.
When the needle-tipped arrow
hits the target, a small explosive
charge forces the special drug
into the body of the whale to
kill it. Flyger said the drug is
not dangerous to humans, or to
animals which might later con
sume the meat.
Explosive harpoons, the stand
ard means of taking whales, ren
ders much of the meat unfit for
human consumption, Flyger said.
He will hunt with bow and ar
row instead of gun primarily be
cause of the difficulty of repair
ing a gun in a remote region. But
he’s taking along a pistol which
will fire the hypo cartridge, just
in case.
He has two bows, one with a
pressure of 27 pounds and a more
powerful 43-pound bow. He hopes
to get within 30 feet of the whale
for his shots.

It it wcren t for poor plumbing in medieval Venice, today's
lady of fashion might be wearing llat-heelcd shoes!
Four centuries ago, Venetian women wore Oriental clogs, called
ciiupnics — diocks or wooer witn c
shoes atop them. The chopincs !
added as much as 18 inches to a
lady’s height... kept dainty feet !
high above the muddy city streets!
Queen Elizabeth I of England
added inches to her stature with
high-heeled slippers and LouisXIV
of France had his court shoe
maker raise his heels with cork so
he could tower above his subjects!
These early heels became a
badge of gentile birth ... peasants
and workmen were not permitted
to have heels on their shoes!
During the 19th century, ex
pensive shoes for both men and
women appeared in America ...
in heights rising and falling with
fashion’s dictates.
Finally came the 4-inch curved
spike, tipped with a hard surface
“lift’ — usually of steel or with a
steel insert. Complaints that these
lifts, with a noisy click in every
step, snagged hosiery, damaged
carpeting and floor surfaces, were
heard ’round the world.
The latest evolution — and a
new lift for the well-heeled ladies
— are molded of Texin, a ure
thane elastomer compound devel
oped by Mobay Chemical Com
pany.Texin lifts.it is said,outwear
all other rubber-like materials, are
quiet, shock absorbing, non-slip
on most surfaces, kind to carpet
ing. And, you can’t lose the lift
unless you lose the shoe because
it is an integral part of the inner
spike. A giant step forward!
