Defeat Ends Fish's 24-Year Career as Member of House By the Associated Pres*. ALBANY, N. Y., Nov. 8.—Repub lican Representative Hamilton Fish’s 24-year career in Congress was broken by defeat in yesterday’s elec tion. Mr. Fish conceded last night that Augustus W. Bennet, who based his campaign on criticism of Mr. Fish's pre-Pearl Harbor record, had bested him in New York’s newly constituted 29th congressional district. Unofficial returns from 270 of the 308 districts gave Mr. Bennet 59,241 and Mr. Fish 57,339. “I particularly wanted to be elected to serve as chairman of the Rules Committee to stop the march toward communism and totalitarian ism in America,” Mr. Fish said. "I have no regrets whatever, as I waged the strongest possible light that I knew how.” Mr. Bennet, defeated by Mr. Fish in the Republican primary, ran on the Democratic. American Labor, I Liberal and Good Government tickets. Mr. Fish was indorsed by the Jeffersonian party. Mr. Fish carried his home county, Orange, on the basis of complete i unofficial returns, but ran behind in i incomplete returns from Sullivan, Rockland and Delaware Counties. | Orange is the only holdover county i from the old 26th district which Mr. I Fish represented and which was | broken by reapportionment. President Roosevelt, Mr. Fish’s old-time political enemy, visited part of the district Monday during nis tour of Hudson Valley towns and j took several potshots at the Con 1 gressman. Mr. Bennet said: "I know that much is expected of me by those who supported me and I shall try in every possible way to be worthy of | their loyalty.” Fuel Costa With i Wool Insulation your own home in your me with Balsam wool . . simply lay between joints . .

He recently was awarded the Stalin prize for hi* research work on encephalitis.) By PROF. VALENTINE SLOWOV, North American Newspaper Alliance. MOSCOW. — Last spring Prof. Anotoli Smordintsev and f visited the United States as representatives of the People's Commissariat of Health of the U. S. S. R. at the in vitation of the Typhus Commission and the Rockefeller Foundation. We spent nearly three months with scientists in New York, Washington, Philadelphia. Boston and other cities who gave us every opportu nity to see their laboratories and become acquainted with their re search work and the latest achieve ments in American medical science. In this war American scientists have made many valuable contribu tions to Ihe science of medicine. They have discovered, among other things, a serum against the spotted typhus and yellow fever, produced a synthesis of quinine and elaborated on the technology of mass produc tion of penicillin and dry plasma. We in the U. S. S. R. greatly ap preciate what our American friends have accomplished in the applica tion of the results of laboratory investigations to the mass produc tion of medicinal preparations. I saw this when 1 visited factories producing penicillin. Only two years ago penicillin was produced in small quantities in a few laboratories. Special factories have been built since them whi(#i now produce enough to meet not only the needs of the armed forces, but civilian needs as well. Impressed by Apparatus. We were greatly impressed by the first-class, modern apparatus and instruments which we saw. It would be of great value to us if we could obtain for our scientific research institutions some of the apparatus and instruments used in American research work in microbiology. There are many things that Ameri can and Soviet scientists have in common and there is mutual interest in their work. Dr. qpsdick, president of the Rockefeller Foundation, expressed this sentiment in his speech at a reception given to us. He mentioned outstanding works of Soviet scien tists and called for further rap prochement among scientists in the United States and Russia for the exchange of information and mutual visits. I am confident that closer contact among the scientists of our two countries will serve as a new stimu lus to the speedy solution of some of the most baffling problems of medi cine. such as cancer, tuberculosis, child infections and heart diseases. Housewife Joins Chase To Capture Tulsa Steers By the Associated Press. TULSA, Okla.—A squad of police men, the dog catcher, a cowboy, a group of howling youngsters and a housewife with a broom all joined in a chase after two steers, which scattered terror and pedestrians about downtown Tulsa. The steers hurdled the side of a truck and trotted 12 Mocks to the downtown district, occasionally lunging a citizens along the way. They scorned the Medical Arts Building, circled the courthouse twice for a good look and then headed into a residential district. One ultimately was Shot, the other lassoed under a viaduct. The housewife with the broom? Oh, she was irate because one of the animals tracked up her nice clean porch. 'V . ' ;i , Marines Dynamite Fish to Supplement Diet on Pacific Isle By CAM. mm THOMA8, Maria* Coras Public KslaUooa ooaar. oOMEWHERE IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC (Delayed).—Any state side sportsman will tell you that the first rule of the outdoors la fair play, but where American fighting men need fresh food the law of self preservation supersedes man-made laws. Out in the Southwest Pacific, where Allied fighting men some times go for months on nothing but canned rations, the dynamiting of tropical fish is not a sport. It is a necessity if a reasonably balanced diet is to be had for the United States Marine and New Zealand Army troops stationed on this par ticular island. Operate jgsauweekly. On this Island, a regular fish dynamiting detail operates two afternoons a week. An officer, a boatman, a demolition man and three divers search the crystal-clear waters about the shallow reef until fish are spotted. The demolition man sets off a charge of explosive and the stunned fish come to the surface, floating on their backs. Divers jump overboard to retrieve the fish, while the officer stands guard on the boat, a carbine poised against the sudden appearance of sharks. Many of the catch are gaudy specimens; some are so tough they can't be eaten. The percentage of tasty fish runs high, however. Oc occaslonally, as much as 360 pounds of edible fish may be caught in an afternoon. use Old Uadtaf Craft. In charge of the dynamiting group la Marine First Lt. Charles M. Wiesenfeld of Jacksonville, Fla., formerly with the United States Army Engineers. Using an old LCP (landing craft, personnel) as a fish ing boat. Lt. Wiesenfeld and his crew spend three or four hours on each junket. Their favorite fishing ground is a corner of a lagoon, just off a point where a small marine cemetery is being laid out. The water here is always calm and as clear as a spring. Fish can be spotted to about 30 feet. Fish like to congregate about the coral reefs, which show up brown against the light yellow bottom. By the time the crew reaches the fishing grounds all hands are stripped down to shorts or trunks and tennis shoes. You don't swim barefooted around coral. , Dynamite Prepared. The ramp at the forward end of the boat has been lowered to make a platform about a foot above the water. There Lt. Wiesenfeld takes a stance and picks a likely looking spot. Hie boat slows down,and a charge of three sticks of dynamite, wrapped around a detonator capable of 500 pounds percussion, is handed to him. The lieutenant casts the charge smack on top of the brown spot of reef. The boat backs off about 50 feet while the charge is sinking. Then the demolition man sets it off by touching the ends of the wire to the poles of a wet cell battery. There Is a muffled explosion, the boat shudders a little from the con cusslon and water geysers 30 feet into the air. Semetlmas HU Blank. The boat edgea up to the spot and in a moment stunned fish begin floating to the surface. Sometimes there are only one or two, occasion ally a school is hit and there is a great haul. Onr.e in a while the fishing crew draws a complete blank. With the fish floating on the calm water, the divers go to work. They swim out to pick up the fish In their bare hands and throw them back Into the boat. They have to be quick or the fish will recover and swim away. They also have to be careful, for some of the fish have spiney barbs which can inflict a mean gash. Lt. Wiesenfeld watches the divers carefully, his carbine ready for instant use against sharks. Fish Nicknamed “Tsje.” The oddest flsh caught are big, fat things about the color and shape of an omelet, with thick lips and buck teeth. Marines have nicknamed this specimen “ToJo." It's so tough a man can’t spear it except through the belly. It has no food value. Another variety, called the “Pa cific Unicom," is good for the table. It is yellowish and bluish gray, with a spike about 3 inches long sticking forward from the top of its head. The triggerflsh, a small item in chocolate brown with red and gold trimmings on its fins and tail, is a vicious number with spiney knives on either side Just forward of its tail. A few parrotflsh, bright red and yellow and about the shape of a small bass, are taken. Its teeth are fused together solidly. Meet Are Falatablc. Most of the flsh taken are palat able. They bear resemblance to tuna, mackerel and bonita. There is no Ichthyologist on the island, so no one is certain what the names of any of the flsh are. As long as the flsh are edible, how ever, no one bothers greatly about their names. The Ashing detail and its dynamited food provide a wel come and valuable relief from the monotony of canned rations for both Marines and Ansacs. And as far as sportsmanship and legality of their operation is con cerned, it is extremely doubtful that any of the dynamiting crew will carry the practice back to the States. It will be many a moon before they care fcr fishing in even its most Innocent form. Dcwty Rod* in 13th Car NEW YORK, Nov. « (JP).—Gov. and Mrs. Thomas K. Dewey, hi com ing here to vote yesterday, rode from Albany in car No. 13 at the end of a 13-car train. Prisoner of War Labor Used to Build Huge Flood Control Model the Associated Press, CLINTON, Miss. — The mighty, muddy Mississippi River, which for yean has rampaged through valley lands, gulping lives and property alike, and the 15,000 miles of trib utaries from 3S States will be robot ized by the Army engineers In a reservoir operation model now under construction here. Maj. Oen. Eugene Reybold, chief of engineers at Washington, and district engineer at Memphis, Tenn., during the 1937 floor, originated the idea of a model by which to study flood conditions. His plans to build the model with prisoner-of-war labor at a cost of 13,000,000 are being carried out by G. H. Matthes, director of the United States Waterways Experi ment Station at Vicksburg, Miss., and Capt. H. G. Dewey of Denver, Colo., at the subofflce here. When completed it will provide a visual means of studying problems arising In operation -of reservoirs already built or contemplated. Built ta 229-Acre Flat. On a 220-acre plot here German prisoners of war, under direction of Capt. Dewey, are laying out a model of the United States from Montana down through Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi; up through Alabama, Virginia. West Virginia, Pennsylvania to New York, and across the Great Lakes to Wisconsin and the Dakotas. The model includes all the main streams within the 1,244,000 square miles of the Mississippi River water shed. In addition to the Mississippi River, the Ohio, Tennessee, Missouri, Arkansas and Red Rivers and their principal tributaries are included. The model is being erected to a scale of one foot representing 2,000 feet horizontally and one foot represent ing 100 feet vertically. Upon com pletion the total length of the model streams will be nearly eight miles. Caarse* ta Be Recorded. Flood of known magnitude will be placed in the model and their! courses will be recorded by electrical recording devices. Engineers said it will be necessary to operate the model occasionally at night to get accurate readings because of evapo ration in daytime. Mechanical measuring equipment will control the 900 gallons of water per minute—this amount represent-1 ing on the scale of the model a maximum flood of record in the Lower Mississippi River. "German prisoners were told what they were building." Capt. Dewey said. "They are used for excavating with wheelbarrow and shovel as well as for skilled work. At first we had trouble getting enough work from them, but now they are alloted a certain amount of work daily, to be completed in a specified time." Prtlie May View ModeL Capt. Dewey said that several hundred prisoners used daily are paid SO cents each, under rules of the Geneva Conference. The “master blueprint" of the United States waterways systems is to be paid for by various engineer districts, Capt. Dewey said, with the amount of water maintained in reservoirs in each “model State" determining the pro-rata cost. The model, believed to be the largest hydraulic model ever built in the world, will be available to public view after completion. For this purpose a three-mile perimeter road spaced with viewing towers will be constructed. The project now is about 20 per cent complete.
