Uncle Sam's Call
Came Rather Late
When William R. Cantrell took
a good look at the official docu-
ment delivered to him last
month, he could only conclude
the nation's defenses were worse
off than anybody had dreamed.
The document was a greeting
from U.S. Selective Service
Board No. 21 in Nashville. Can-
trell is 86, almost blind, and
hard of hearing. He replied with
a snort of amiable derision. "I'd
do 'em a heap of good." In fact,
he felt about this draft notice
the same way he had felt about
the Spanish-American War: "A
cousin of mine went," Cantrell
Said, "but I told him I wasn't
aiMin' to." A spokesman far the
draft board said weakly: "It
went to the wrong Cantrell."

1-1e, Was Fast But
Death Was Faster
At Ise Mane last EtatUltei. rash,
brash. Ricardo Rodriguez, Mos-.
no's fir:est driver and one of the
rase*. in the world, laughed when
in interviewer - asked him about
:loath. "There are a thousand
aaye to die," said the: young man
"*Me I. Dever think about
i i just want to be the best
3essilde tleieeer in the world. .1
hink I L'%• ii achieve it one day."
Before the start of the first
:hand Pt ix of Alexico last month,
S-foot-S Rodriguez, who had been
racing motoreyeles and ears since
he was 12 but had never won ti
:=rend l'rix, had rehtetently
• shaeged his mind, Pressured by
hie attractive wife, lie mede a
promise, "I ..tin already entered
In this Grand Prix," he confided
to her. "But after I win it — and
am determined to win it — I'll
retire from racing forever."
Always exceptionally daring
("If he lives, be surprised''
said one rival), he seemed deter-
mined to outdo himself et Mex-
ico City's Sports City Speedway,
Even when Britain's John 'Sur-
tees turned in the fastest trial
time Thursday afternoon, Rodri-
guez, standing near his mother,
father, wife, and racing brother
Pedro, remained supremely con-
fident. "I can beat that," he said.
will beat that now." After a
brief pit stopover to have his
carburetor adjusted, Rodriguez
climbed back into his blue and
silver Formula One Lotus and
returned to the track. Moments
later, when track officials franti-
cally tried to signal him to slow
down, Ricardo answered with a
signal of his own "I'm going flat
out."
Heading into the track's most
treacherous corner, Rodriguez's
speed at the 46-degree turn was.
nearly 125 miles an hour. "All I
could think of was 'He's. going
much too fast'," said Dutchman.
Carel Godin de Beaufort, driving
a Porsche behind Rodriguez.
" 'He'll never make it.' Then sud-
denly it was all over."
Bouncing off the steel rail on
the right, the Lotus caromed off
the left rail and rebounded into
the right crumpling in half and
hurling the youngster 45 feet
down the track. Before the am-
bulance could carry him to a hos-
pital, Rodriguez, his skull shat-
tered, his abdomen torn open,
was dead, His final race was over
— ironically, one day before
Mexico's national holy day of
mourning, Dia de los Muertos
(Day of the Dead). For his
countrymen and his competitors,
it was a tragic and senseless loss,
"I have never worried about
other drivers, but I have always
worried about Ricardo," said de
Beaufort. "He always seemed so
terribly young, so terribly en-
thusiastic, and so anxious to win
at all costs, If Ricardo Rodriguez
had lived he would have been
one of the great ones."
Q. Is it considered polite to
refuse a cigaret someone offers
you, if you prefer your own
brand?
A, Yes; but refuse graciously,
saying, "Thank you, but I have
some."

I\'uw it semis that. the farmers
were right all along. Using en

York University's College. of liln-
gintering has found taut rain ac-
tually does tend to fall a few
•days after the new and full
moons, When the moon is only
a half circle, Donald Bradley and
his associates report in the jour-
nal Science, there is a corre-
sponding tendency to dryness.
"Our findings surprised and
shocked a lot of meteorologists at
first," Bradley said wryly last
month, "but they're checking
their own records and they con-
firm our findings. One meteorol-
ogist in Texas wrote that the
lunar influence holds true for his
records of 40 years of heavy
rainfall in San Salvador, He also
has noticed that flash floods in
Texas are most likely to 'occur
just after a full moon."
Bradley started amassing his
figures back in 1057 when he
noticed some "odd coincidences"
between the, positions of the
planets and weather, But not un-
til tdo years ago, when he join-
ed Dr. Max A. Woodbury's -'e-
search group at NYU, was he
given the computers to checkout
his "crazy" ideas. "We really
just stumbled on the moon cor-
relation," said Bradley, who still
doesn't know the explanation for
his discovery. "At first, I
couldn't believe it. Surely, I, fig-
ured, it would have been noticed
by new. I put off completing the
study for eight months,"
Actually, the correlation had
been noticed—and disregarded.
The Jewish Day of Atonement,
Yom Kippur, always falls in the
second week of the lunar month,
and among devout Jews there is
an old saying that "it never rains
on Yom Kippur." As one of
Bradley's Jewish colleagues told
him: "We had it under our noses
all along, and missed it."
CHURCHILL STEPS OUT
nizecl notorious criminals bound
for the scaffold, writes Ashley
Brown in "Tit-Bits."
Highwaymen were usually
popular with the crowd. Famous
robber and jail breaker Jack
Sheppard's execution at Tyburn
attracted a "gate" of 200,000,
He had planned another sensa-
tional getaway at the gallows it-
self and had concealed a knife
about him, intending to cut
through his bonds and dash
through the crowd to safety,
But the knife was detected.
Sheppard then implored friends
close at hand to obtain posses-
sion of his body immediately it
was cut dawn.
"Try to revive me by putting
me quickly in a warm bed," he
yelled to them desperately, This
plan also failed.
The crowd was delighted when
a condemned man did cheat the
gallows. After a criminal named
Dual had been hanged in 1740 he
was cut down and it was then
noticed that lie showed signs of
returning life.
Eager hands helped to revive
him further and the mob sur-
rounding him refused to allow
him to be re-hanged, They car-
ried him off on their shoulders
in triumph to his home.
It's on record that when an-
other Tyburn "victim," Dr. John
Story, was hanged in 1571 the
executioner bungled the job bad-
ly. After being cut down, the doc-
tor rose to his feet and struck the
hangman on the head, knocking
him off the scaffold.
The last person to be hanged at
Tyburn was John Austin. His
hanging took place on November
7, 1783.
Then the Sheriffs of London
decided to abolish Tyburn and
ordered that executions should
take place outside the prison at
Newgate on a new gallows with
an improved type of "drop."
There they continued until
public hangings were abolished.
But not till May 26, 1868, did Eng-
land see its last public execution,
For the first time since crack-
ing his left thighbone in Monte
his left thighbone in Monte
Carlo last June, 87-year-old Sir
Winston Churchill felt up to a
night out. The occasion: A Lon-
don- gathering of The Other
Club, co-founded by Churchill in
1911 as an alliance of political-
minded bons vivants. Dining on
soup, fillet of sole, fillet of beef,
pears, and ice cream—and drink-
ing champagne with every
course—Churchill chinned hap-
pily with old chums and topped
off the evening by smoking a 7-
inch cigar. It was nearing mid-
night when the ex-Prime Minis-
ter left, but a crowd still waited
on the sidewalk for a glimpse of
him, With one hand on a cane
and with his other arm support-
ed by a detective, Churchill
was in no position to flash his
"V" greeting, Instead he called
out to the throng: "Goodnight,
goodnight,"

Death Tree Claimed
50,000 Victims
It was once a peaceful, tiny
village in the midst of sweet-
smelling fields, hedgerows and
elm trees where on moonlit
nights maidens strolled with
their lovers beside a gently rip-
pling brook.
But it became a place of con-
stant death! It was the site of
the dreaded, "never green" Ty-
burn Tree which was not a tree,
but the grim and ghastly gallows
where over a period of 600 years
some 50,000 people were hanged
— many also drawn and quar-
tered.
What a contrast! The gallows,
sometimes called by criminals
the "Triple Tree" or "Three-leg-
ged Mare," was a permanent
structure and a common place of
execution not only for the wi.ole
of the city of London but for al-
most all England.
Wooden galleries were erected
near it to accommodate hundreds
of morbid sightseers,
They flocked to watch murder-
ers, traitors, robbers, highway-
men, religious martyrs — as well
as miserable wretches who had
been caught trying to pick pock-
ets — publicly hanged at Tyburn.
Today the new spotlight is fo-
cused on this once-gruesome
sight because it is the centre of a
great reconstruction and improve-
ment scheme — one of the great-
est in modern London's history
-- at Hyde Park Corner and
Marble Arch,
For Tyburn Tree, a historic
site marked for the curious in
recent years by a small, hardly
visible, triangtelar stone embed-
ded in the roadway, stood at
what is known today as the
north-east corner of Hyde Park,
the traffic-ridden junction of
Marble Arch and Edgware Road.
Oxford Street, leading up to
Marble Arch, is thronged by
thousands of shoppers today.
Centuries ago it was called. Ty-
burn Road and was filled with
people watching the pitiful daily
processjon of cursing or praying
men and women as they were
marched or dragged along it to
the ever-ready Tyburn gibbets.
They came from the Tower
of London or Newgate Prison
which was on the site of today's
Old Bailey,
The crowds Jeered at some,
cheered others. Tearful women
sometimes gave the hangmen's
victims flowers or fruit as they
went to the gallows.
Others were plied with intoxi-
cating drinks. Many callous sights
seers bawled coarse jests or
threw stones when they recog-
Just as the proof of the pud-
ding is in the eating, so the real
test of the used car is in the driv-
ing — over a period of time,
This means after you own the
car, But before you buy you can
give. it some thorough, on-the-
spot tests (just as Grandma sam-
ples the plum pudding while it
is "in the making") that will
give a reasonably complete pic-
ture.
If the salesman has a sound
car for sale, he will not object to
the tests, If he does object, you've
flushed your bird without even
beating the bush.
The following recommended
tests were published in the Sep-
tember, 1962, issue of Consumer
Reports (a publication of the
nonprofit, noncommercial organ-
ization, Consumers Union, Mount
Vernon, N,Y,
These tests ern vital in the
final stages of buying a used car,
