U. N. Plans Survey Of Possibilities LAKE SUCCESS, N Y. -- Three million square miles of South America have been staked out as a testing ground for aid to under-developed areas of the world. A head start already has been made by scientists seeking to gear the riches of the Hylean Amazon area to social and economic prog-ress. Top priority has been given to research by the United Nations educational, scientific and cultur-al organization Preliminary field surveys have been undertaken. Findings are not complete, but have stimulated great optimism on the potential contributions the region can make to world-wid- e economic advance-ment. The Hylean Amazon is as large as Europe, almost as big as the United States and 20 times as large ns the United Kingdom. It sprawls from the Andes on the west to the Atlantic on the 'ast and from the Orinoco river on the north southward to t h e mountains of Bolivia. All tributary waters flow into the Amazon. It includes parts of Brazil, Bo-livia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela and British, Dutch and French Guianas. With its two million inhabitants it is one of the most sparsely popu-lated areas in the world. The international character and scientific significance of the re-gion is shown by the interest in its exploration by such outside na-tions as the United States, France, Netherlands, Britain and Italy. Scientific missions have made muny trips into Amazonia in the past. But their long and difficult tasks remained largely fruitless for want of a permanent center to their findings and do something about them.

O. course, you know who I am!" Disdainfully the spinster starec down her nose at his flaming head gear, and said: "A donkey with ai unusually loud b'ret?" "P. 8.

The commissioner, after readinj the letter, told Pat that if he coulc answer the three following ques tions he would appoint him: "First How many stars are there in th heavens? Second. How many hairi are there on my head? Third. What am I thinking?" Pat could not give an answer t any of them and was turned down After wandering about town foi some time an idea struck him. Hi would represent himself as hii brother, and try again. The ques tions were the same. "How many stars are there in the heavens?" "661,468,432," answered Pat. "How do you know?" "I counted them, and if you don'i believe me count 'em yourself." "How many hairs are there on my head?" Pat walked up, and pulling one hair from the commissioner's head, answered: "One less than then was a minute ago." "What am I thinking about?" "You think you are talking tc my brother, but I'm the same mar back again." He was appointed.

Radioactive phos-phorous produced in atomic-energ- y laboratories has aided in diffi-cult surgery on brain tumors, three Boston doctors said. Drs. B. Selvcrstone, A. K. Solo-mon, and W. H. Sweet said that in 14 cases they were able to locate brain tumors at the time of sur-gery by the use of the isotope. Radioactive phosphorous was given the patients by injection and became concentrated in the brain tumors, they said. The doctors then used a min!a-tur- e Geiger counter, an instru-ment for measuring radioactivity, as a probe to locate the tumors. They described the technique in the Journal of the American Medi-cal association. Self-Servi- Store Norway has its first self-servi-food store a co-o- p. I Buy U.S..

Two very distinguished looking Southern gentlemen met on the street one morning after having attended a party the night before. The major greeted his ranking officer with all the respect and solemnity that the occasion de-manded. "Colonel," he said, "how do you feel, suh?" The colonel's reply was just a bit on the brusque side. "Major," he declared a little th.ckly, "I feel like hell, suh, as any Southern gentleman should, suh, at this hour of the morning."
