She was wearing slacks, and, with John-Johin her arms and Caroline following, got out of the car and made her way up the 20 steps to our front doo:. Behind them came the two Secret Service agents, lugging the empty pram up to the front porch, then returning to the sidewalk to keep watch outdoors. Jackie asked casually, Mary, its such a nice day! Do ym suppose we could go for a little walk before we get our boots off? Now the pram, which had just been hauled up to the porch by the two S.S. agents, would have to go back down to the sidewalk again.

This column has established that three of the hoiler room crew, including Mary Jo,' had crossed. Dyke Bridge earlier in the day to go swimming. Thus Mary Jo must have known that the road led to a secluded beach. Kennedy was also completely familiar with the area. Conclusion: The couple were heading for a look at or a . dip in the oceart' t. What happened to Mystery No. 2 Mary Jos purse? Rosemary Keoughs purse, not Mary Jos, was found in the death car. This column has now learned that Rosemary and an unidentified man had driver off in the black Oldsmobiie ahead of Kennedy and Mary Jo, that Rosemary had left her purse behind in the car. After the accident, the authorities searched in vain for Mary Jos missing purse in the salvaged automobile, on the bottom of Poucha Pond, and inside the vacation cottage. The attendant, Foster Sylvia, told authorities that he found no telltale evidence in the cottage after the Kennedy party left. Everything was shipshape, he said. I dont even know if the beds were used roally, they were so well made. Conclusion: Mary Jo did not take her purse along on the midnight drive because, contrary to the Senators statement, she intended to return to the cottage. Someone apparently removed the purse from the cottage the next morning. What really went on at the famous Chappaquiddick cookout? Jack Crimmins, Kennedy handyman using plain white paper with his own South Boston address, reserved rooms at the Dunes for the boiler room girls. About the same time, the Senators cousin, Joe Gargan, rented the Chappaquid-dic- k cottage, explaining he wanted it for himself, his wife and another couple. Despite these suspicious arrangements, this column has determined that the pairing of six men, five of them married, and six single girls at the cookout was partly a coincidence. Other people, including at least two married couples, had been invited. There was drinking at the party, but no one appeared to be drtlnk.

Not everyone in music regards the coming of the Moog with unalloyed joy. For every composer or listener who welcomes it as a device that can open up new artistic frontiers, there is another who despises It as a contraption that produces bleeps and blips instead of music that robs the creative process of its spon- taneity. Nevertheless, in the past five years the Moog has made astonishing progress among serious musicians of both classical and popular persuasions. Some 200 Moogs, costing from $4,000 to $10,000 depending on the model, are now in use in the United States, about half of them in colleges and conservatories.

THOSTESON, M.D. An item in this column about compressed air hoses, as used in shops and factories, has brought me information from a variety of sources which is cf grave importance. Compressed air can be dangerous, even to the point of death. A blast of air at 40 pounds per square inch can rupture an ear drum at a distance of four inches; worse yet, it can cause a brain hemorrhage and be fatal. At 40 pounds, such an air jet can drive metal chips and other debris at speeds of 70 miles an hour. Such an air jet, directed into the mouth, can rupture lungs and intestine. Aimed at the eyes, it can cause blindness. An official warning from provincial authorities in Alberta adds that it has been estimated that as little as four pounds of pressure can rupture the bowel. Directed against the skin, compressed air can damage the tissues so as to resemble a bum quite apart from any dirt, fragments, or chips that can be 1 , ... ... n Wit's End yf , Have you heard the new number one ong on the list . . . The Rise of Taxes Are Upon You. BIG TALK v driven into the flesh. Safety goggles should always be worn when using compressed air, but the danger is to more than just the eyes. Apart from the hazards of not using an air hose with due precaution, there are two other dangerous practices. One is using air for the wrong thing. .There is a temptation, it seems, to use an air jet to blow dust and dirt out of the hair, or clothing. Safety authorities warn flatly that this should never be done. Danger of ruining ears or eyes is obvious, but there is a further danger. If there is even a slight scratch or puncture of the skin, air can be driven into the flesh causing swelling and agonizing pain. And perhaps bubbles of air in blood vessels. But perhaps the worst damage and is from certainly the most inexcusable horseplay. It is sheer stupidity for a prankster to turn an air hose onto a fellow w orker or fellow student, but this happens frequently and has not only maimed but killed some victims.
