Then, the airplane's radar would swing into action to find out if there are surface ships in the vicinity that could be the source of the oil or diesel fumes. If not, the usual area-search pat- tern would .begin and conven- tional detection systems would come into play to pinpoint the target. The device is ineffective against nuclear - powered subs which, thanks to air-regenerat- ing equipment powered by A- • electricity, can cruise -under- seas without surfacing for weeks at a time. Against the day when the Reds have nuclear subs, the • Navy is also developing heat- seeking devices and radiation sniffers to' .track the most elu- give weapon in naval history.— From NEWSWEEK TRUCKERS' HERO— Reuben C. Thomas, 29, was named na- tional "Driver of the Year" by the American Trucking Associa- tions. He risked his life to res- cue an injured woman from a flaming automobile and was nearly electrocuted by high.. voltage current from a downed power, line lying across the burning car. Odd Accidents Some time ago a chemist who wanted to achieve a romantic conquest doctored some candies with a drug which,' he believed, would make a girl more affec- tionate, But he used the wrong• .drug; and two innocent women died. There are many curious in- stances of death by accident. In a most bizarre case an in- nocent man was nearly executed. In 1917 a German farmer named Schamm was found dead in bed, shot through the head by his own gun. His friend Pawlowski, a Pole, admitted that he had visited SLcharnm on the evening of the tragedy. They had quarrelled, he said,- and Schamrn had threaten=. ed hitn with the gun. He denied that he had in any way harmed Schamm but was unable to ex- plain how the 'farther died. It was obviously not suicide cause the WeaPori lay on a table out fo Schanim's reach; Pawlowski was lucky to escap,e sentence of death. Twentycyears later he WaS allowed to go with prison officials to 8cliattitti's cot- tage. A dummy was leid on.

When .a market gardener was accused of slackness in picking tomatoes, he indignantly replied that he was working, as hard as ever. Special tests, showed that he was right. But as the man was colour blind he could not tell when the tomatoes were turning from green to orange-red, when they should be picked. New research into colour blindness shows that every year it becomes commoner in men than in women. Every single colour appears as a shade of grey to the person who is completely colour blind. An eyesight specialist who in forty-five years tested the sight of more than 100,000 railway workers said that more than a million people in Britain alone were colour blind. He said that otherwise normal persons had 2,000 times described to' him pillar-box red as bright green. Some people are colour blind, in only one eye. While the right eye may see red as red, the left sees it' as black or grey. Most of us have one eye that sees colours more brightly than the other. Try the experiemnt of looking at a stained glass win- dow or a brightly painted pic- ture with first one eye and then the other. You'll probably find there is a distinct difference in tne impression, conveyed, Both eyes see the colour's, but to one they are much less vivid and less contrasting than the other. eieeeset POW-WOW—Indian Meets Indian meets Indian in Cleveland, Ohio.

Despite the lottery's defense that the widow's win- ning selection last March had been destroyed by an embezzling ticket taker, millions considered her the wronged heroine of the weekly drama that is becoming a national passion — Lotto, Every Sunday afternoon, in one of three cities (Bremen, Wiesbaden, and Munich) which rotate the event; a huge cylin- der spins 49 numbered plastic balls for 30 seconds, then spills out the six winning numbers. Anyone who beats the 14 mil- lion-to-1 odds, against picking all six numbers gets a tax-free million-to-1 payoff on his 12- cent ticket, while enough lesser prizes are handed out to send one German in four back to work on a new system, It has taken just five years for the lotteries to grow from a budget- ;balancing experiment in West Berlin to a giant that rakes in 1 billion Deutsche marks ($240 million) annually (13.'alf the take goes to the ten state governments that jointly ,operate the game). One war widow bet every week on the registration num• ber of her husband's grave at Verdun, finally won the top prize, and sobbed: "That's how my Hans wanted IL" A brick- layer buried 49 numbered slips in the sand, shoveled out six, and hit the jackpot. But while a mathematics professor vainly spent his spare cash on a sys- tem, his wife won with a ran- dom bet of 100 pfennige (24 cents). In one case of lax controls, three ticket checkers repeatedly filled out winning tickets after the drawings and made off with 2,290,000 marks ($545,000) with- in a year. (To tighten its sys- tem, the lottery plans to go auto- matic, with robot ticket punchers on street corners in a 'few months.) But instead of damaging Ger- mans' confidence in the turns of chance, the widely publicized scandale only inspired more of them with the idea of chasing rainbows. Justifying their faith, the court in Hannover ruled that Frau Wenke had found the rainbow's end and must be given her pot of gold.

LAST ASSIGNMENT—This dramatic photo taken qt the scene , of the collision in New York's East River between an oil tanker and a freighter was the last picture taken by veteran news photographer William Finn, who dropped dead—apparently of a heart attack—shortly after taking photo. The picture shows one of the rescue tugs going to the aid of the two flaming vessels, the Nebraska and the tanker Empress Bay. PiP PERSONAL To ever skier the name Arl- berg is magic — white magic. The name derives from a eerie fleeting link between Tyrol and Vorarlberg, as well known in medieval times as it is today. The approach to the "Temple of the White Are" as skiing is cal- led with reverence hereabouts, is through narrow passes glint- ing with black and white marb- led bark of .silver birches . . Here is the land of the ava- lanches, a spectacular winter force in the Arlberg. Late in the spring is their crashing time when snow, which sometimes does not entirely disappear dur- ing the summer, is carved into improbable shapes by the mov- ing sabers of ice. One's imag- ination takes wings as the eye. traces pallaces and pavilions, snow galleons sailing rippled seas an whole cavalcades of gi- gantic knights in armour, thrash- ed up against the blue sky, only, perhaps to be assailed by an- other avalanche and tossed crash- ing into deep • ravines. the black rocks glistening with ice spray.
