34 US: Cities To Be ‘Bombed’ In CD Project By W. JOYNES MACFARLAN WASHINGTON @® — “Enemy” Planes shoot across the high skies of the United States today, drop- ping ‘make-believe deadly bombs on 54 American and Canadian cities in this country’s first nation- wide civil defense exercise. Every target city will be “sub- stantially destroyed” and millions of citizens will be “killed” - and “wounded” by a hypothetical on- slaught under assumptions drawn up by the Federal Civil Defense Administration (FCDA). _ Whether your town holds a drill in the simulated, but serious, trial has been left up to state and local civil defense organizations, Wash- ington, New York and Philadelphia @re among thé larger cities in which the public will take Part. Evacuation At Mobile At Mobile, Ala., a test evacua- tion is scheduled during which some 26,000. persons are expected to walk and ride out of an area of 450 blocks in the main business district. Officially the nationwide exer- cise—called “Operation Alert”— starts at 10 a.m., EST, and runs for 24 hours. Federal civil defense officials said, however, that where there is public participation the time for the air raid drill has been left en- tirely up to local authorities and likely will come before lunchtime. In Washington the drill officially was called for an hour before the nationwide exercise, All street traf- fic must stop and occupants of buildings will go to shelter areas, Only the Capitol and the Senate and House office buildings will not take part. In New York, three A-bombs will supposedly shatter Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx, killing 2,175,000 people and injuring an- other 800,000.° The exercise is based on the hypothesis that 41 target cities in the United States, 8 in Canada, 2 in Alaska and 1 each in Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands are attacked by atomic and other weapons. Its aim is to boost the effective- ness of all civil defense organiza- tions, test communications facili- ties and provide realistic training for civil defense workers. FULLER WARREN (Continued From Page One) ative and Executive must re- main separate from each other. “I cannot believe a grand jury can call upon a governor or a for- mer governor to explain his offi- cial actions any more than a gov- ernor can call on a grand jury to explain its official actions,” War- ren added. Marion County Session Asked if he or any other gov- ernor or former governor of Flo- rida had ever appeared before a grand jury, Warren replied that in December, 1952, he had requested a special session of the Marion County grand jury so that he could testify before it. “I asked for a special session of the Marion County grand jury to examine charges of kickbacks in the State Road Department,” War- ren said. The Marion County decided the charges founded, he added. Toll District Question Warren also emphasized that all of the alleged misconduct in con- nection with the toll district oc- curred after his administration. “One of the land sales involved in this investigation,” he said, “was approved eight months after I was out of office.” He went on to say that his ad- ninistration had always been a- inst the sale of toll district land individuals, & jWarren recalled one particular d sale that had been rejected he was in office. Kethan identified the man Wi wanted to purchase toll dis- tri@land at Marathon as Irving Kips. McKethan Kipnis of- fe 1,750 for $1,000 feet of land ontiig on the highway and run- Othe water.

They can not be resold.” Warren said he- and McKethan flew here this Morning on National Airlines and that they plan to to leave this afternoon. The present grand jury has been Probing the affairs of the old toll district. They have been hearing a string of witnesses, many of them former employees of the district.

MONROE COUNTY (Continued From Page One) in private schools was not includ- ed in the study, the report says. For Monroe County, the report shows 4,263 children in the public schools in 1952 and 4,887 during 1953. But the number of children who were adjudged delinquent in Mon- roe County in those years is not given. Local Tally Too Late Mrs. Eva Warner Gibson, juve-~ nile judge, said that the data was sent to the Children’s Commission but that it was too late by a couple of days to be included in the report released today. Mrs. Gibson supplied these fig- ures for children adjudged delin- quent in Monroe County in 1952 and 1953: County Record Drops In 1952 in Monroe County, 301 <i were adjudged delinquent. Of that total, 62 were runaway children from other states and vities. In 1953 in this county, 270 chil- dren were adjudged delinquent. Of that total, 45 were runaways. Judge Gibson emphasized that the runaways were not Monroe County children yet they went into the records.as delinquents from this county. The judge said Monroe County gets a larger percentage of de- linauents than other counties be- cause it is at the end of the line} —ine last stop on U.S. 1.

Swiss Ammo For Guatemala Is Held Up 20mm Antiaireraft Shell Shipment Is Nabbed In Hamburg BONN, Germany (®—Six tons of Swiss antiaircraft ammunition be- ing shipped to Guatemala has been held up in Hamburg, the U. S. High Commission announced here today. The 20 mm antiaircraft shells were to have been sent to Guate- mala in a German ship, but the West German government - inter- vened at the request of the U. S. High Commission and the shipment was detained in Hamburg, an American official said. The U. S. government regards shipments of arms to leftist-leaning Guatemala as a threat to the se- curity of the Panama Canal. U. S. authorities throughout the world have been ordered to prevent the flow of arms to the Central American country following the de~ livery recently of a 10 million dol- lar shipment to Guatemala from Poland aboard a Swedish ship. The U. S. official here said the ammunition reached the free- port of Hamburg in transit for Guate- mala May 20. The U. S. High Com- mission asked the federal govern- ment to prevent it from leaving. “The German authorities were “| most cooperative and the Trans- “|port Ministry contacted the Ger- *|man Hamburg-Amerika Line, “| whose ship, the Coburg, the con- *| signment was to be shipped,” the in official added. The ship sailed May 26 without the ammunition. “We are confident that the am- munition will not be carried in any other German flag ship,” the offi- -| cial went-on, adding it was not .| known to whom the ammunition .|Was consigned in Guatemala as it .|was addressed merely to 4 for- warding agent. SEA SECRETS Q. How do eels get: into isolat- ed ponds if they originally come! from the sea? H. L; Bard,’Cris: field, Md. A. Freshwater eels from the whole Atlantie must migrate to a certain spot, off the coast of Ber- muda, in the, Atlastic Ogean: to spawn. This includes the European eel as well as the American eel. The former species concentrate in an area southeast of the island while the American species has its breeding center southwest of Ber- muda. Eels of large size are fre- quently seen in isolated ponds or lakes where there is no access to the sea. Such “landlocked” indi- viduals cannot spawn where they are, and often arouse speculation as to just how they arrived there in the first place. The young eels may have migrated upstream dur- ing a time of flood, or they may have travelled overland for short distances between one body of water and the next. Eels are re- markably agile and tenacious of life, and they are often seen, par- ticularly at night, making their way over mud or through wet grass. Q. How does the Florida lobster differ from the northern lobster? Which is better eating? L. E. Lof- fler, Coral Gables. A. The Florida lobster, Panuli- rus argus, differs from the north- ern lobster, Homarus americanus, in the possession of long, spine- studded antennae as well as the lack of the large crushing claws which are found in the northern species. Also, the young of the Florida lobster goes through a flattened, leaflike ‘Phyllosoma” stage before it assumes the ap- pearance of the adult. The north- ern lobster is considered by many to be more tender and better fla- vored than its southern relative, while others insist if properly cooked, both species are equally delicicus. Thus it is seen that, al- though there is a great deal of ex- ternal difference and some in the developing stage, the two lobsters are related. Q. What is the largest fresh-. water fish in the world? J. L. Emerson, Miami. A. Among strictly freshwater fishes the record for size is held by the arapaima or Pirarucu, Ara- paima gigas. This fish is found in the rivers of Brazil and the Gui- anas, and reaches a weight of 400 pounds and a length of 15 feet. The arapaima is elongate in shape and rather sluggish in its move- ments. A smaller relative’ (Osteo- glossum) occurs in northern and central South America and has a pair of forward-directed, flaplike appendages on the tip of its lower jaw. Q. How many eggs does a green turtle lay and how long do they take to hatch? ‘ A. The female green turtle 1a: an average of 108 to 118 eggs per clutch. However, she lays several clutches every mating season.
