' 1,000 Steers Sailing Up Missouri OMAHA (AP)--A Texas cat- tleman scrambled a pair of rugged United States: traditions and sailed up -the Missouri River to market today with a herd of 1,000 steers. Rivermen said it has been half a century or more since cattle have come up the Missouri. by boat. And never, until rancher Gerald Harrison put a riverboat captain in charge of a cattle drive, had there been anything like the Lulu Belle and _ its cargo. The Belle was once a three- deck automobile barge. Harri- son converted it into a floating feedlot. On June 15, at Green- ville, Miss., ranch hands herded his bawling Brahma cross- breeds aboard and the barge began its 1,400-mile trip up the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers. Unloaded here, the cattle will be trucked to a feedlot for fat- tening. Then they'll be carted off to pens of South Omaha's wide-spread market. EAT EN ROUTE Harrison's idea was that cat- tle shipped by boat could eat and drink all the way and wouldn't lose weight as they do when shipped by truck or rail. Sure enough, as soon as they tromped onto deck the critters headed for the feed bins: Other cattlemen will be interestd. A great many of them have been keeping an eye on Harrison's experiment. But, said Tom Wright, Mem phis engineer who helped install the Lulu Belle's automated feed tanks: "If this becomes a popu lar way of transporting cattle, the cowboys who ride along are going to have to learn some new skills." It'll be a new day for river men, too. All up and down the Mississippi and Missouri river- boat crews and spectators om the banks have gawked at the Lulu Belle and her cargo. Nuclear Fallout Greatest Threat WASHINGTON (AP) -- U.S. Civil Defence Chief Stewart L. Pittman said Monday radioac- tive fallout--not the threat of vast, fiercely burning fires-- would be the greatest menace te American lives in a nuclear war. Pittman spoke in defence of the Kennedy administration's $175,000,000 fallout shelter incen- tive proposal after a college pra fessor said shelters would be "essentially useless" and might even cost more lives than they save.
