All three were riding together near Lexington, Va., when arrested for speeding. The policeman, proceeding to book them, asked their names. "Robert E. Lee IV, replied the first student.

Taxes Go Up in Smoke Brass hats have kept it hushed up, but the air force wasted thousands of dollars taking worthless movies of the Bikini atomic-bomtests. For some unexplained reason, the job was turned over to inexperienced officers. Brig. Gen. Paul Cullen, then a colonel, had charge of the air force camera crews at Bikini. His masterpiece was a glorified, technicolor training film called Able Baker Day, which he sent over to to be edited. But even after the Hollywood experts added their touches, the picture was such a flop and so hostile to the army and navy that it couldn't be shown. Instead the top brass ordered all the extra prints burned, and only two copies kept for the files. Since Cullen had gone ahead and ordered 48 prints, this made an expensive bonfire paid for out of the taxpayers pocket. Cost of the film alone that went up in smoke: Since the atomic energy commission had called upon all the armed services to cooperate in filming the Bikini explosions, the navy was working on a similar picture at the same time Cullen was making "Able Baker Day. But Cullen was in such a hurry to finish the air force picture first and scoop the DEPARTMENT INTREPID STEEPLEJANE . . .

Some pullets also may have to be culled if the flock is to be maintained at the desired size for profitable operation throughout the winter.

Pullets so developed can be brought into 50 per cent egg production without crowding by the time they are six months old. Pullets, however, never should be forced into high production during their first two months of laying. BLOSSOMTIME . . .
