GIRAFFE'S APARTMENT
CALLS FOR SKYSCRAPER
RIO DE JANEIRO. </P>—I.I yor
Angelo Mendes de Morais, who
takes a lively interest in this c y >
zoo, was asked by a member of
Congress to explain how much
money he spent on an ‘apartment’
for the zoo’s new giraffe.
In a recent broadcast to his
constituents, the mayor answer
ed: “A complete apartment for a
giraffe with bathroom, bedroom
and kitchen would be rather ex
pensive owing to the uncommon
height of this animal. But, since
the giraffe’s abode will consist
only of a wire fence, the problem
is much less complicated than the
Congressman supposes.”

p.m. Wednesday.
Official recognition of his rec
ord must await approval by the
national aeronautics association.
But the distance computed by
civil aeronautics authority offi-,
cials is about 313 mils over the |
2,061.7-mile mark set by two Rus- ,
sians, W. Goussarov and V. Gie
bov, in 1937.
Odom’s record is for light per
sonal aircraft with a motor cylin
der displacement of 6.5 to 9 liters, i
Strong head winds which buf- [
feted him at daybreak yesterday
forced Odom to alter his announc- j
ed plan to fly to New York via
Seattle on only 260 gallons of gas
oline.
"If I’d headed for Seattle as1
planned, I’d still be out there,” he
said.
After he flew over the Golden
Gate bridge, the weather conspir- ]
ed against him once more. The
CAA told him of clouds and icing
conditions over Nevada. His little j
plane had no de-icers.
Odom said he "tried to pick a
hole through the clouds over the 1
mountains, but it was no go.”
IT_ turned back over Reno, Nev., ,
returning to Oakland.
He estimated there were 70 to
80 gallons of gasoline left when
he landed.

Navy Foresees
Good Oil Field
In Alaska
TULSA, Okla. (/P>—Commodore
W. O. Greenman said last night
that the navy is speeding up ex
ploration of Its Alaskan oil lands
which experts have said p om.'se
to equal the most prolific sources
of oil in the western hemisphere.
Greenman is director of the
naval petroleum reserves. In a
speech prepared for a meet'ng of
‘he Tulsa chapter of the National
Oil Equipment Manufacturers and
Delega es Sosiety, he said prog
ress in Alaskan oli exploration has
not been as rapid as had been
hoped.
But, Greenman said, “with the
major problems now solved we
are going ahead with greater cer
tainty and speed.”
He said, however, that many
deep wells may have to be drilled
and abandoned as failures there
before success is attained.
Greenman endorsed the opinion
of an oil expert who reported to
the navy on oil-producing possi
bilities in Alaska.
This expert, Wallace E. Pratt,
told the assistan* secretary that
theer is a “striking similarity be
tween the navy’s oil land in Alas
ka and some in Venezuela capable
of producing L000.000 barrels
du'ly.”
HIS MASTER'S NAME
LONDON, (/P)—“Ting,” Premier
Attlee’s tiny terrier, knows who’s
boss. The 12-year-old dog slipped
out of 10 Downing Street and got
mixed up with the feet of minis
fers for a cabinet meeting. Per
spiring police vainly chased her
up and down.
“Call Mr. Attlee,” an amused
bystander suggested. ‘Ting’ prick
ed up her ears—and scooted in
side.
