Randi, stripped to his shorts, was locked in a cell and handcuffed to the cell bars with three sets of handcuffs. He managed to get rid of the handcuffs but found the loose tumblers in the old style padlock on the cell door too much for him. A new lock would have been easy to pick, he explained, but the loose tumblers In the old lock foiled his efforts.

Friday, Khrushchev put in what has now become known as one of his typical days. That is, it had a bit of everything. As everyone knows by now, Mr.

In his U.N. disarmament proposal, he suggested: Let's take our armies, navies, air forces, nuclear weapons, military rockets, military schools, and toss them on the scrap heap. In the morning, at Hyde Park, where he a wreath on the grave of President Franklin D.

Roosevelt, he was solemn and restrained. In the afternoon, when he met a leading exponent and beneficiary of the capitalist system, Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of New York, he mixed it up. Or, to use Rockefeller's account "He is serious, then he is gay, but always with a very keen look coming out of his eyes." Later, Mr.

"If I said anything, that would be thinking up something and I don't want to do that." Khrushchev stopped to visit the Empire State Building, the world's largest skyscraper. There he took a shot of brandy, which brought forth one of the few English words he knows. "Okay, Okay," said Mr. K.

Two hundred anti-Communist pickets chanted "murderer" as Khrushchev arrived at U.N. headquarters, but he gave no sign he heard them. He may not have, since police kept them at a distance, and the 40 automobiles and 100 motorcycles in the cavalcade made quite a din. By the time the dinner ended, the pickets had left.

Laos Turns Down Soviet Proposal VIENTIANE, Liios (APi Tin; Laotian government today rejected a Soviet proposal for another Geneva-type conference to end the fighting in Laos.

NEUPERT Like fresh air, suhshine, and, yes, even our good health, pure water is a blessing too many of us take for granted. It's only those rare Instances when water is rationed during a drought or contaminated following a flood that the two-thirds of us dependent on public facilities appreciate our safe water supplies. In fact, it is difficult for many of us to realize that only about three decades have lapsed since a polluted water supply caused an epidemic of typhoid fever in Wisconsin. That we have been so well protected is a privilege we owe, in part, to the operators and employees, along with associated personnel, of our public water utilities. And it is fitting recognition of their role in maintaining our public health that the citizens of the state arc being asked to observe Wisconsin Water Works week this Sept.

20-26. For these are the people who help maintain the adequate water distribution facilities essential to our safety and economic life to say nothing of devoting their efforts toward water conservation and the improvement of watci works operations. In their role as guardians of our health, water superintendents art. constantly on the alert to insure safety of drinking water by fre quent periodic, checking through bacteriological analysis. To do this moreover, they are required to be on call 24 hours a day.

They, together with consulting en- gineers, laboratory technicians, teologists, biologists, chemists and wards ol health, make up the team, which has and is providing fit least two-thirds of us with the safe drinking water so essential to our state's safety and economic ife! Family Enjoys Vacation in Bus CINCINNATI (AP) Take seven children, two adults and put them in a standard size automobile during a long trip. What do you have? A reason to find another means of transportation. That's what Professor Joseph Ebacher of Xavier University did this summer. Ebacher, his wife, and large family found that last summer's vacation trip to Salisbury, was too crowded for comfort. Returning to Cincinnati, he bought an old 32-passcngcr school bus.

The inside was remade to contain bunks, window screens, shades, a refrigerator, a play area, and other features. "Everybody's got his own position," Ebacher says. "There's room, comfort, and we have traveling leisure." The children, five boys and two girls ranging in age from nine months to 11 years, each had a turtle when the family left Cincinnati for the seashore at Salisbury recently. There also was a pigeon and a carom board on which 50 different games can be played when the kids get restless. "Last summer we didn't get a bit of sleep on the trip." Mrs.

Ebacher says. "We spent $39 for a day and a half at one motel." Of the present system of travel, Ebacher says: "I guess you might call us respectable bums." Sierra Sam, Real Dummy, Works Hard for Science (API-Sierra Sam a patient guy. He sits quietly In his spaceman's seat while technicians attach dozens of tiny recording gadgets to his body. Sam, a 200-pound dummy, is being used by Boeing Airplane Co. scientists designing instruments to measure the space travel.

body's reaction to Weight and comfort factors dictated the design of the tiny devices which will record pulse and blood circulation rates, respiration, heart action, blood pressure and body temperatures. Present equipment for measuring physical reactions often Is cumbersome and scientists say readings are sometimes distorted because of the amount of energy needed to support the recording equipment. Boeing reduced many Of the measuring devices to thumbnail size. One thermometer is smaller than a pin head. It will be embedded in a pad of wax and worn in the ear.

An instrument to measure the 1 flf oxy cn in the blood will be worn like an earring and a device to record blood pressure and the pulse straps on like a wrist watch. For metabolism measurement. Boeing has designed a 15-pound apparatus no larger than a portable typewriter compared with the 100-pound, desk-sized instrument now in use. A chest belt, 75 per cent lighter than a respirometer, will check characteristics of the breathing pattern. After the models are completed and adjusted to Sam for size they will be turned over to another scientific team for use in simulated space flights.
