Gen. George C. Kenney
wants the scientists to develop
radar to a point where we
could watch what goes on all
over the world. That's play
ing peekaboo on a major
scale. If you can check up on
what a few of the world lead
ers are having for breakfast,
you can get a good idea
whether they'll be looking for
trouble or for a spot to lie
down and relax. The General
figures that if all nations
know what everyone else was
doing 24 hours in the day,
war would be as impractical
as sun tan oil on a seal.
Like a bird dog in the brush,
he has a point. If you know
the whole world's looking,
you're apt to develop a con
science.
Rumors in Czechoslovakia
claim that the U. S. has a

Oldest Scrolls
•|0f Bible to Go
To High Bidder
umvers.ty
greatest
BALTIMORE.
Four leather
bound parchment scrolls, described
by a Johns Hopkins
archaeologist as "the
manuscript discovery of modern
times," will be offered for sale to
the highest bidder.
He will have to be wealthy. The
documents are the four oldest
manuscripts of the Old Testament
known to date. Valued at more than
a million dollars, they were brought
secretly to this country early this
year.
Discovered by wandering Arabs
in a half-closed cave by the Dead
sea in 1947, the parchments contain
the entire Book of the Prophet
Isaiah as it appears in the Bible, a
commentary on the Book of Habak
kuk. and a manual of discipline for
a Judaic sect.
Experts say they were written
100 years before Christ—1,100 years
before the date assigned to the old
est Hebrew Bible scroll previously
known.
Sale Date Soon
An authoritative source, who de
clined use of his name, said the
treasure would go on the block
shortly. It is owned by St. Mark's
Syrian Orthodox convent in Jeru
salem.
Dr. F. W. Albright, professor of
Semitic languages at Hopkins and
one of the nation's top archaeolo
gists, first established the authen
ticity of the scrolls from photo
graphs sent to him.
Since then he has examined the
originals. He reported:
"During the past few weeks any
possible doubt about the age and
authenticity of the scrolls has been
removed."
He disclosed also that the docu
ments were sent to the Metro
politan Museum of Art in New
York. There chemists reportedly
are working over one scroll whose
condition has prevented its being
unrolled.
St. Mark's was damaged badly in
the recent fighting between Israeli
and Arab forces in the Holy Land.
It expects to get repair money from
the sale of the manuscripts.
U. S. May Buy
The hope is that the U. S. Gov
them. in
terested groups, however, is Yale
University.
The find.
whose worth to the
I Christian- Je wish world has been
termed incalculable, was brought
to America by Athanasius Yeshue
Samuel. Syrian archbishop of Jeru
salem and Trans-Jordan and Ortho
dox apostolic delegate to the United
States.
The documents were already in
the U. S., it was disclosed, when
dispatches March 18 reported them
hidden and guarded in Syrian
homes to prevent possible damage
or loss in Palestine fighting.
Dr. Albright believes that one of
the scrolls—the one reportedly in
chemists' hands now—is written in
Aramaic, the tongue of Christ.
And, he declared, it may contain
another Bible book—which would
double the monetary value.
Old Fluorescent Tubes
Create Health Hazards
NEW YORK.—Industrial repre
sentatives have joined with New
York city officials in issuing a
warning concerning disposal of
bumed-out fluorescent lamps.
At a conference called by the
department of health and sanita
tion, it was said that broken fluorés
l 1 " be " *"•
The tubes—of which 200 million
are said to be in use throughout the
nation—are reported coated on the
inside with a phosphor which us
ually contains beryllium, a toxic
substance.
It was said that skin cuts from
broken tubes might cause a con
dition known as granuloma, a be
nign skin tumor. There also is a
danger in inhaling dust from bro
ken tubes.
The conference, Including rep
resentatives of firms which man
ufacture the tubes, unanimously
adopted this list of precautions for
disposing of burned-out tubes:
1. Keep discarded tubes away
from children.
2. Never break tubes or place
tubes in incinerator or open con
tainers in the street.
3. Deliver tubes directly to refuse
trucks.
4. Should a tube be broken,
sweep up fragments and wrap them
in heavy paper. Never handle bro
ken fragments without gloves.
5. If cut by a broken tube, con
suit a doctor at once.
Modern Man Declared
Now Uglier Than Ever
GRAHAMSTOWN. — ''Men have
never been so ugly as they are to
day," says Prof. I. J. Rousseau of
Grahamstown, who advocates com
munal exercises on the beaches and
folk dancing to "restore the phy
sique of the South African male."
The professor has campaigned
against obesity for 15 years, de
scribing the average male over 40
as "a comic, pot-bellied creature
and a perambulating eyesore."
Women's figures have improved,
he thinks.

V* we« made a
sdent chamber" perfected by he
signal corps to help reduce the
noise of military equipment.
About 30 minutes of absolute
silence was just about all anyone
could stand. After 30 minutes the
engineers became uneasy. After a
few hours, the army said, the dead
silence produced "pronounced ad
verse psychological effects."
The room is used to measure
the noise of field equipment. The j
army said even a small electric !
generator in the, field was enough :
to reveal the position of the soldier j
and endanger his life. Now en- j
gineers can find out just how much ■
noise it makes and quiet it enough !
to prevent detection.
Signal corps officials said the j
walls, floor, and ceilings of the new j
chamber are covered with wedge
shaped hunks of fiberglass, point
ing out into the room. The pieces
are bound at the large ends to an
electrostatic shield. The shield is
grounded to remove any surplus
energy. There is complete stillness
in the room.
But the room wouldn't do for a
radio station. Spokesmen said musi
cal tones are flat, monotonous and
very dull in an absolutely sound
proof room.

FACING DEATH . . . Iris Davis,

Real Movies
HOLLYWOOD.
Three-dimen
sional movies, that pry actors
away from the scenery and make
Lana Turner's curves look curvier,
are ready to hit the screen. But
their inventor wails that no studio
will dish out money for his trick.
Joe Valentine, one of movie
land's top cameramen, developed
a gadget that brought depth to
the screen back in 1940. It's
gathering dust. No studio will
cough up dough to back the
project.
"Two-dimensional movies we
have now look flat—flat actors
against flat scenery," explains
Valentine, who's up for an Oscar
for photographing "Joan of Arc."
a movie that cold've used a few
more dimensions.
Lighting Now Used
"We use lighting now to try to
bring them away from the scen
ery. Colors of costumes and sets
are chosen carefully so actors
won't melt into the background.
"In three-dimensional movies
the actor stands out with natural
soundness. He appears to be
right in the theater."
Miss T. looks twice as whistle
able, and Humphrey Bogart ap
pears to dash with his gat right
into the audience. Trees look
rounder and people look like
people, which would be a change.
And the moviegoer who gets
stuck in a side seat won't have
to squint at long thin men on a
distorted screen, either. Miss
Turner looks round, no matter
where he sits.
Needed Special Glasses
Years ago one company billed "a
three-dimensional movie" in thea
tres, but that was a fluke. You had
to wear special spectacles to see
curvier curves.
The new dimension comes from
a prism that's inserted behind the
camera lens. That costs about
$500. The camera then gets two
images instead of one. Prisms
would have to be installed in every
theater-projection machine in the
country, costing another $500 per.
"Not half as expensive as sound
was to install," snorts the camera
man. "And it would bring change
and greater scope to the screen
sound did. Bring customers back
the theaters, too."
Mrs. Johnston Is
Hostess To Club
A garden tea under the shade
trees at the P. A. Johnston
home featured the meeting of
Laurel Garden club Thursday
afternoon. Mrs. Johnston had
Mrs. J. R. Heebner as cohostess.
Nineteen members were present,
with Mrs. Hugh Phelps presid
ing. The meeting was opened
each hostess reading a poem.
At roll call each member gave
her own original poem on flower
or bird subjects. A prize for
the best poem was awarded Mrs.
R. L. Baker. The club's annual
breakfast, which had been
scheduled for July 14 at the home
of Mrs. L. R. Shay, was changed
to July 21. The next meeting
to be June 23 at the home
Mrs. Frank Platz, with Mrs.
Maude Gerke as cohostess.
