Nicholas, electric company owner, asked: "What evidence is there that the people of Atlantis were killed by atomic explosion?" "Near the cave there have been found bits of glass and other matter similar to those that our atomic bombs have made," replied Hill.

A wife's curious hunch that all was not well aboard a fishing boat, three weeks before the receipt of news that it was wrecked, was being told here today. This developed as fragmentary radio messages to the U. S. Coast Guard station told how five shipwrecked fishermen lived for six weeks on bleak Clipperton Island, off Mexico. Mrs.

Walter Richards, wife of the engineer aboard the Thistle, the wrecked boat, said she. "had a feeling about three weeks ago that something was wrong," even though the craft had not been reported missing. The men, all of San Pedro, were reported uninjured and in good condition. They were picked up Saturday by the fishing boat which was instructed by the Navy's Panama Sea Frontier to take them to Galapagos Island, off Ecuador. The Navy will bring them home from there.

They were crew members of the 45-foot fishing boat Thistle, out of Terminal Island. The craft reportedly smashed up on rocky Clipperton coast on May the, Radio messages to the Navy and Coast Guard gave no details of how the men lived while on the island but said only that they managed to keep "in good Clipperton is a five-mile dot in the Pacific, well off the regularly traveled shipping lines. A settlement was established on the rocky, reef-bordered island from 1914 to 1917, but Coast Guard officials believe it has been uninhabited for years. Rain was believed to be its only source of fresh water. The wrecked fishermen, in addition to Richards, were identified as Capt.

William Noble, Charles E. Warren, Gilbert Stethe and Robert Marchele. Mrs. Richards said she thought none of the crewmen except her husband were married. The Thistle was on a nine expedition, fishing for shark livers for the California Marine Packing Co, spokesman for the packing company said the ship must have been blown to Clipperton, because its normal cruising range is only some 700 miles out of its home port.

Literary Law Held Boon to Authors Here it. Opposed at. First Clarification of Caltfornia "products of the mind" laws embodied in Assembly Bill 566 now on its way to Governor Warren will prove a boon to Hollywood authors, composers and artists, according to Harold A. Fender of 321 S. Beverly Dr.

For years, Fendler has campaigned to sweep aside ambiguous state laws holding that an author. or composer loses ownership of literary work, play, radio script or picture if it does net remain in his actual possession. Interpreted literally, this means that the originator loses his rights if his work is broadcast over the air, exhibited, presented to a publisher to read, or is given a tryout performance. Constant Threat The statute rarely has been enforced, but it has hung like a threat over authors, artists and producers, Fendler said. The amendments would make the California law consistent with federal copyright statutes and with the common law of literary property, Fendler asserted.

Common law rights, as interpreted nationally, are ended only by legal publication of a composition through abandonment of it by the author, or by dedication of it to the public. A performance of a play may. make it public, but is not a legal. publication, Fendler explained, and would not terminate the author's common law right.

"That I cannot tell you just. now," the former diplomat said, "it is a secret that belongs to my mother.

When she came here from Poland, she said. 'Michael, why don't you try with your liked cheese it I much, did. and that everybody so in business."
