ANN ARBOR, Mich. #—Blair Moody, former U.S. senator and prominent Michigan newspaper- man, died unexpectedly yesterday at University Hospital of a virus pneumonia. Dr. Cyrus C. Sturgis, head of the hospital’s department of in- ternal medicine, said the 52-year- old former Democratic senator had been undergoing treatment for an “excessive involvement of the lungs had been doing very satisfactorily when he suffered a reversal and died.” Moody, appointed to the Senate in 1951 after the death of Repub- lican Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg, was in the midst of a campaign for the Democratic senatorial nomination next month. His death left Patrick V. Mc- Namara, former Detroit council- man, unopposed for the nomina- tion in the Democratic primary. Moody was stricken with the virus infection last month while campaigning in the Upper Penin- sula. He was hospitalized in Han- cock, Mich., until last Sunday. He was believed nearing recov- ery and ready to resume his cam- paign when he entered University Hospital here for a final treatment and physical checkup. Moody had been Washington correspondent for the Detroit News for 18 years before his appoint- ment to the Senate. He was defeated in his bid for election in 1952 by Rep. Charles E. Potter (R-Mich). Moody is survived by his widow and three sons. The Weatherman Says Key West and Vicinity: Partly cloudy and continued hot thru Thursday; isolated showers or thundershowers.

Now Routine At Alamogordo By LEIF ERICKSON ALAMOGORDO, N. M. The fantastic hes become routine in little more than five years at Hol loman Air Development Center. Any week and every week rock- ets can be shot 90 Patel into plex electronic instruments to ask questions and get answers on what’s what up there. For instance, one mission of the last 20-foot Aerobee rocket whooshing upwards from the White Sands desert floor was checking wind velocity and direction in the upper atmosphere. ‘The rocket itself hurtles upward at supersonic speed—not very much less than a mile a second or 3,600 miles an hour. The wind check instruments and tiny vanes are mounted in jeweled bearings. What they find out is recorded by electronic method. All the rocket checks—on tem- Perature, radiation, light and chemical changes—have a military purpose. Missiles are being devel- oped that fly or will fly in these altitudes. ments to guide these mis- guiding gear must be learned. The Air Force Cambridge Re- search Center, at Cambridge, Mass., assigns rocket missions to such schools as Michigan, Color- ado, Utah and Rhode Island uni- yecaiice and correlates the find- 68. The Holloman center provides the testing ground. The 658th Test Squadron provides the men whose routine duty is to shoot Aerobee Tockets 90 miles toward the sky. Holloman, an abandoned war- time B29 base whose barracks were blowing apart in the desert winds in 1947, now is a massive science fiction layout of radar cones, blockhoused instrumenta- tion centers and airstrips.

Friends of the dead girl said she had been seeing Stefanich se- cretly for two years. One of them, Carol Bishop, 20, said she once told her that “‘if anything happens to me, look for Tony.” The dead girl’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Bogart of Joliet, learned of their daughter’s death while visiting with Mrs. Bogart’s mother across Puget Sound from Seattle. ; Near collapse from grief, theyy made immediate plane reserva- tions for the return trip to Joliet. “Doris was a good girl,” her mother said tearfully, “‘and all of her dates were with boys around her own age. Neither of us ever heard of Stefanich or knew of any connection Doris might have had with an older man.” CRAWFISHING (Continued from Page One) vestigated, and if they are found tampering with traps belonging to anyone else, they will be prose- Thus, the conservation agents say, the new permit system, will serve as a valuable check against Other Regulations Other regulations in effect this yeer state that no crawfish less than ten inches in length (no in- cluding the feelers), weighing one pound or having tails less than six inches in length, may be taken. In addition, egg-bearing females are illegal. Only three types of traps are considered legal — the standard wooden slat type, “ice cans” and bully nets. It is unlawful to spear or to use grabs in taking crawfish. All traps must be placed at least a mile from the center of the Ovy- erseas Highway.

The secretary of the board read a letter from the Red Cross stat- ing uncertain policy toward mem- bership in the forthcoming drive. The Red Cross in a previous meet- ing of the local chapter had stated that the Red Cross had not been too successful in the last Key West Community Chest Drive. Mrs. Mary Sinclair was elected second vice president for the com- munity chest. She represents the civil service on the board of direc- tors. Neblett suggested that in the campaign the JayCees be given Positions of prominence on the var- ious departments and heads of the campaign group. He said that the aid of the energetic organization would help to insure the success of the drive. At the close of the meeting, Neb- lett scheduled a luncheon meeting for the executive committee to meet in the La Concha on Mon- day at 12 o’clock. ROPER SPEAKS (Continued from Page One) identified by prints from the next joint of his fingers. ‘He could have been detected by using palm prints,” Roper added. On the subject of finger prints, Roper said that when he first work- ed with the FBI in 1939 the agency only had 12,000,000 prints on file but today he said that there are approximately a hundred and twenty six million. “Sixty-five per cent of criminals whose finger prints are sent in to the bureau for file are usual- ly identified with previous crimes.” On the art of removing finger prints, Roper said that photo- graphs are made mainly for use in evidence against a person be- cause it shows exactly where the print was taken from. Records Are Vital Roper said that one of the im- Portant factors in a successful law enforcement agency is the neces- sity for good records to be kept. He also explained the uses of ultra violet light and polarized lighting used in crime detection. ’ Ralph Faraldo, president, told the members of the fine entertain- ment presented at the inter-coun- cil meeting Monday night held at Miami Beach. He announced that in the future, no large meetings will be held by the inter-council groups because of the inability to conduct regular business. In the future, only the executive members will attend the meetings. The next inter-council meeting will be held at the Miami Shores Kiwanis Club, he said. Gleason Snow, in a complete re- sume, informed the members of the discussion of the city commis- sioners on the subject of the muni- cipal swimming pool and commis- sion action. Guests for the meeting were Sheldon Smith, Harvey Sellers, Ward Tyson, Sam Collins, G. J. Strickner and Bill Coppage. Most of the guests attended the meeting as potential new members in the club as result of the team com- petition for a membership drive. AE ana RETURN PROOF TO PALMER...
