SPANISH TREASURE SHIP SOUGHT *. Ruins of a sunken Spanish gal- leon are being sought in Tober- mory Bay, Scotland. The Duke of Argyll, right, has the rights to whatever may be found on the remains of the galleon, and the Duke thinks the salvage opera- tion may be worth to $100 millions. The galleon, he thinks, was the paymaster ship of the Spanish armada, defeated in 1588 in its attempt to invade England.

He may be the most important elee- tronic discovery since the debut of J. Fred Muggs= Barry is the Brooklyn 'wonder kid who electrified a portion the nation's viewing audience by helping his father, Sam Schnitzer, break the bank on the TV quiz show of the same name. He did it by lisping answers to baseball sticklers to the tune of $9,900 in prize money. Sam, a Dodger fan, doesn't say he didn't know the answers to the questions Barry Bob answered ("Which centre fielder was in the army two years and is known as the Say-Hey Kid?" and "How many home runs did Babe Ruth hit during his career?") but he graciously maintains his son was a big help. UNUSUAL SAYS SHE Since Barry Bob and his parents won the money, life has become something of a dream and Barry Bob has had a wonderful time in the limelight. The family has been towed around by press agents for inter- views. A Boston psychologist who caught the show has offered to analyze the boy for free, after jivia a side saddle opinion he as the intellect of a 14-year-old. le of model agencies have offered to take him on as a client. Mrs. Schnitzer, Barry Bob's mother, says she and her husband have suspected their boy was quite unusual for some time. Since he was an only child they sup- posed they were just acting like average proud parents. °. Barry Bob is not, however, like most children of five. Under a com- bination of promises of ice cream and threats of corporal punish- A cou ' |ment, he demonstrated his ability to: Add sums in his head. Print the alphabet backward. Identify properly the capital city of such states as. North Dakota, Delaware and Vermont. Discuss Duke Snider's batting average. x Prophesy the teams which will play in the forthcoming world se- ries (Giants-Cleveland Indians). "I am a Giant fan," he explained patiently. "My father is a Dodger fan. I am a Giant fan because they are ahead. But Duke Snider is the best player and Willie Mays is sec- ond best." Schnitzer explained that, al- though his son has never seen a live baseball game, he never miss- es one on television. 4| HE TEACHES HIMSELF "I haven't tried to teach him : anything," he said a bit helplessly, "but everything he knows he's found out by the questions he asks. Sometimes I forgot what I've told him but he never does." Miriam Schnitzer, his mother, says Barry Bob was fascinated by TV by the time he started to crawl. He began to walk--presum- ably toward the set--at seven months and to talk at 11. For the last couple of years, he has turn- of | pack?" asked Barry Bob. Quiz Kid Is Real Genius With Baseball Information ed on the family set at 7 am. and watched it constantly except for those few shours when he's out- doors playing. His mother thinks he has learned quite a bit from the 21-inch screen. . "Is that the new snap pen "Snap, it's open. Now, it's shut, nept quickly." He picked up a package of ciga- rettes and demonstrated as adroit- ly as a television salesman. "I can 'also imitate Herb Shel- don dancing" he added casually. BY THE NUMBERS "He hasn't learned everything from television," his mother add- ed. "His grandfather taught him the state capitals, and we think he figured out how to tell the al- phabet and work arithmetic prob- ems himself." "That was so he can read the ball scores," his father put in. "It's all mathematics," said the press agent, ai i . "Every- th this kid does is mathemat- ics. I've never seen anything like it. Watch!" The press word "Boston. "What does that say, Barry?" Barry looked, squirmed and fi- nally confessed he didn't know. The press agent added "Red Sox." "Boston Red Sox," said Barry instantly, and then proceeded to read off names of other baseball teams. ~"He has two imaginary play- mates," said the Jress agent, "Most children have," muttered the interviewer, trying to get pen- cil and paper away from Barry. "I have two," said Barry. "Dick- ie Milk from Tennessee, who is 25, and a cowboy, and Dorit Kaoztsky from Paris, who is 44 and a dent- ist. I play with them when nobody real is around." '"He's named every piece of fur- niture after a horse," said his mother. "He rides the furniture." "What's the capital of Chicago?" his father asked slyly. "Chicago," said Barry "is city not a state. Springfield is the capital of the state." HELP TO FAMILY : "One day the television set broke so I taught him to play cards" contmued Schnitzer. 'The next day his grandmother came and he asked hee to play cards. And did he cheat! He figured out how to cheat all by himself. I never heard of a child that young figuring out how'to cheat. , . . "He just like other children," said his mother, "and he plays with children of all ages. He only eats two meals a day, never takes a nap and we can't get him to bed until 11 o'clock. We never could. And he's up at 7." "I like meat and milk," said Barry. "I like meat because it's full of energy and makes good bones." "Be quiet," said Sam Schnitzer. "The money is wonderful because it will help to pay the debts we have from sickness in the family. It has given us a new start." "When I grow up I want to be a Dodger pitcher," said Barry, as the press agents led him off. Oshawa, spent Sunday evening at ampbell's. Mrs. John Naylor, Oshawa, Mrs. Frank Crossman, Mr. and Mrs. H.

MOSCOW -- A tiny box of eggs seemed to mark the beginning of a new era for Soviet housewives. When the eggs were put on sale at the new stores in Moscow's a|Red Square, the peasants stood and stared. The neat little white | {out to remedy all this, and the | boxes were a sign of something new and exciting in the Soviet way of life. These ordinary eggs, from the collective farms, were unusual be- casue they were packed in little gardiosrg boxes, 10 eggs to the 0X. . No one in the Soviet Union had ever thought that anyone would '|go to so much trouble. Eggs in boxes are a symbol of the times in which the Soviets are living, times which for them are exciting and strange. Under Prime Minister Georgi M. Malenkov, the customer is beginning to come into his own, and the kitchen and the hearth have achieved an import- ance which no five-year plan ever visualized. The giant GUM state department store in which the eggs made their appearance is the shop chosen by the Malenkov government for a consumer goods drive launched a year ago. PLASTIC PICNIC SETS With the boxes of eggs, such things as electric razors, plastic picnic sets, a new range of per- fumes, gay silks, and lavish vel- vets are coming into the shops. The accent is on quantity, qual- ity, and design. The government's | declared aim is to brighten the | drabness and the sameness of life for the population. In the amenities which make daily life easier, the Soviets still lag far behind the West, A simple household aid such as an ironing board is hard to buy in Moscow. Shopping in a city with too few shops is an ordeal. | The Soviets are the first to jadmit all this and to agree that i their clothes are badly designed, | their range of colors limited, their ideas of style backward. Anastas Mikoyan, the energetic Soviet Trade Minister, who visited the United States in 1936 to pick | up trading ideas, admits the short- Packaged Eggs Bulge Soviet Housewife's Eyes comings. "We know that some capi- talist countries produce certain products more per head of popu- lation than we do, #hd often better than we do," Mr. Mikoyan said. 'NEW LOOK' POLICES The consumer goods drive set | first' results are beginning to be seen this summer. Mr. Malenkov's "new look' pol- icies are aimed to give the Soviet Union's millions nicer clothes and good things for the home, as well as factories, better farms, and a string of power stations for an industrial machine straining to ful- fill grandiose state targets. ships, the Communist Party striving to raise the standards of agriculture and to narrow the gap between supply and demand for wheat, Promised new clothes and a rad- iant future, the Soviet workers now are being told to work harder to pay for the social improvement program launched by the Kremlin. The call is to raise productivity. In the Soviet Union, this is called "Socialist competition". It means extra effort to beat the state pro- duction targets, to produce more in less time and for a smaller cost. "We want maximum results with less expenditure," Mr. Malenkov told the workers. The last Communist Party Con- gress called for a 50 per cent in- crease in productivity in industry and 55 per cent in construction. Twenty-eight Moscow factories pledged a "Socialist competition" campaign to boost planned output. The Communist Youth League has called on its 18,000,000 mem- bers to 'mobilize the forces of Soviet Youth for a general rise in labor productivity in all branches of the national economy." Pravda, the party newspaper, de- clared: "The fundamental and de- cisive factor for the further up- surge of the national economy, for the further increase of the well- being of the people, is an all-round increase in the productivay of lab- or. Socialist competition has now assumed a genuinely nationwide character."

It amaze you and make you wonder if there's some- thing wrong with your sight, Jour sense of balance or your brain. I've been told there are several hills, in the world, like it, but it is the only one that every "threw" me and I can't get over the won- der. It is a hill where "up" seems to be "down" and vice versa. Magnetic Hill lies about seven miles from Moncton, N.B. Arriv- at Lutz Mountain rd., you ve, or you think you drive, down the road, at one side of which a little book trickles mer- ril along, But while you seem to be going downhill, the little stream seems to be flowing up- hill. At the bottom. you think you shut off your brakes and throw the gears into neutral. Then your car apparently starts to coast back u; the hill, gaining momentum as it moves along. How far the car will travel depends upon its weight. And the little stream seems to flow, without effort, up the hill beside you. Actually, your car is rolling downhill, and no one seems to know the exact reason for the illusion. One explanation is that the conformation of the surround- ing territory causes the slope to appear to run in an opposite direc- tion to what it really does. If you are like all the rest of us, you will get out of your car and try it on foot, to see if you can figure it out more readily that way. Yo get a peculiar sensation when, thinking you are walking downhill, you feel a force like a magnet pulling you back. It is the same pull that you feel when you walk up a hill, which is actuall what you are doing. But you wal with no effort at all when, Jeeling sure you are wa up the you actually are walking down! The little stream makes it even more confusing, because of course it flows in the same direction all the time, which makes it go "up- hill" when you think you are go- ing '"down" and '"'down' with you when you think you are going "up." You need not feel discouraged if you cannot arrive at a sglution to this puzzle because, accord- ing to the New Brunswick govern- ment bureau of information, thou- sands of people have scratched their heads over this phenomeno- on, and no one has come up with a satisfactory explanation. . Cosmic Ray Data Used SYDNEY (CP)--An Australian scientist has evolved a machine to make oractical use of the results of cosmic ray research. The scientist, Dr. E. P. George of the University of Sydney, will use the machine for the first time on the Snowy mountains electric and irrigation scheme in southern New South Wales. Dr. George said the machine was | the first of its kind in the world, and it might save the Snowy Moun- tains Authority thousands of | pounds. Dr. George made the machine--a hydro- | geiger counter telescope--at the university. MEASURES OVERBURDEN In the Snowy mountains test Dr. George will use the machine to measure the overburden of one of the many tunneis being constructed through mountainous country there. The machine records the number of cosmic rays falling on it. Dr. George will make calcula- tions based on the difference be- tween the- number of cosmic rays recorded inside the tunnel and the number recorded outside. The calculations will determine the mass, or weight, of the over- | burden. . | At present, geologists can find { the mass only by making laborious, | expensive tests, which include drills ing out samples of the overburden, Ocean Trip Took Ten Years Off Life SHANNON, Ireland (AP) -- A former U. S. Marine jet pilot flew into Shannon airport from New- foundland by way of Paris early today after starting off on what he insisted was a one-hour hop in Canada in a single-engine plane. Thomas H: Danaher, 30-year-old uranium miner from Wichita Falls, Texas, wouldn't say much about how he managed to come this- a-way but he did say emphatically: "The trip took 10 years from my life." Danaher, a six-footer in a ten- gallon Texas hat, a leather jacket ,and fawn trousers, said he always 'wanted to see Paris, The marine reservist flew in the Pacific in the Second World War and in Korea. with additional fuel tanks, he no- tified authorities in Canada he was off on a short hop. Somehow, | he said to reporters here, he headed across the Atlantic and reached Paris--or, at least, the sky above Paris. He couldn't get vermission to come down so he turned back to Shannon, he added. After 3,100 miles and 13% hours of flying he came down about mid- night.
