Physicians at a Damascus mental men-tal hospital said he was entirely sane, but a little odd, and in no wise capable of scampering over the desert sands at 50 miles an hour, as had been reported. : Nor had he eaten any grass, at least not after more palatable food was placed before him. The 11-year-old "gazelle boy's" worldwide reputation was given him by a Syrian newspaper man, yho found him after he had been lost several, months on the desert. The Syrian discovered the boy while hunting gazelles, and when he tried to approach him in an automobile, the boy struck, out. at a dazzling pace, but still considerably, con-siderably, less than 50 jtniles an hour.- i :. After running the boy doWn, the Syrian took him to Damascus and put him into a mental hospital. hos-pital. He then reported his discovery dis-covery with a liberal dash of imagination. Balloon Trip To 100,000-Feet Altitude Planned WASHINGTON, Dec. 21 (V A balloon trip to an altitude of 100,000 feet almost 19 miles up will be attempted next June by Dr. Jean Piccard, 61 - year - old scientist, in a dramatic quest for new data on cosmic rays and other phenomena of the upper atmosphere. The ascension, to be financed by the navy's office of naval research, re-search, will start from the naval air station, Ottumwa, la. As now planned the research will be conducted in a 400-pound gondola supported by a cluster of 100 balloons, each 57 feet in diameter. Other flights into the stratosphere have been conducted with steel gondolas attached to one large balloon. If the flight is successful in attaining its desired altitude, Piccard Pic-card will-go nearly, 28,000 feet above the present record 'of 75,-395 75,-395 feet set in 1935 by the army and National Geographic society A navy airman, yet to be selected se-lected will accompany Piccard. ily Christmas "back home." The Truman homecoming became of ficial yesterday when the first lfcdy ordered resumption of carrier car-rier service by the Independence Examiner. Mrs. Bess Truman and her daughter returned home early yesterday by train. The president Is due to fix. home Christmas Day, spend about 24 hours and then return re-turn to Washington. The first family was hoping there'd be better weather Christmas Christ-mas Day than handicapped his flight home a year ago. Then carolers waited long hours in the cold as the presidential plane, after a delay in Washington, bucked bad weather westward. The big Christmas dinner waited, too, until well after dark. This year the Christmas dinner was scheduled as soon after noon as the president's arrival permits. per-mits. Besides -the three members of the first family, Mrs. E. W Wallace, mother-in-law of the president; Mr. and Mrs. Fred Wallace and their two children; Mr. and Mrs. George Wallace and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Wallace will gather around the table. The Fred Wallaces will arrive from Denver Monday night. Turkey was expected to be the principal item on the Christmas dinner menu but members of the family said none had been ordered or-dered locally let. Odt at Grandview, in the bungalow bun-galow home of Mrs. Martha . Truman, the president's 94-year-old mother, Miss Mary Jane Truman, Tru-man, her daughter, said the fam ily Yuletide shopping was "about done." Yes. she said, her moth er's present for her son had been bought. - Plans for the day had not yet I been completed, Miss Truman! said. For her part. Mother Tru-i man said she was looking forward for-ward to a nice Christmas. She had expressed no preference in the matter of presents. As is customary in smaller Missouri towns, there'll be caroling car-oling groups out Christmas Eve and Christmas day and the presidential presi-dential home doubtless will be a stopping point for the singers ot tne great old hymns of the day. The Messiah chorus Wasn't going go-ing to try again, though, as it did last year. The president is going to miss a real honest-to-goodness Santa Claus welcome. The local cham ber of . commerce was mighty proud of its Santa. Claus float. It cost better than $300 and the chamber was hopeful it could be used in welcoming Mr. Truman home. But some youngsters, disbelievers disbe-lievers obviously, got to it and in their enthusiasm made it unusable un-usable for the occasion.
