BOISE, Idaho.— (NEA) —Meet
(;-Man Wiliiam Adam Batzner, 56,
« super sleuth who never fails to
yct his eriminal,

nds for gophers. So if you've
t a big Jawn or garden, you
Letter listen carefully, because it's
sotting close to the time when
inds begin to appear in mys
yus fashion.
(irizzled Batzner is the U, S,
cau of Reclanmration’s official
her-killer on the 53,000-acre
11lck Canyon unit of the Boise
i ation project near here. Like
ost irrigation projects, Black
(.nyon was plagued with thous
{s of gophers. If allowed to dig
v unmolested, a gopher will
burrow thorugh a canal bank;
japs cause a disasterous break,
Gophers do. so much damage,
| cuess that's why I hate 'em so,”
vs Batzner. “An old gopher can
(i as much as a mile of tunnel in
a year.”
<o a few months ago, Gopher-
Man Batzner devised a new meth
od of getting rid of the rodents.
viously, he used 60 .or more
traps and killed as many as 1,350
in a 90-day period. But covering
the division’s 500 miles of canals
was time-consuming and costly,
Batzner came up with a faster,
cheaper and cleaner method. He
uses caleium cyanide powder. Un=
der compressed air, these fine par
ticles are blown into the network
of gopher holes, where upon ex
posure to the moisture in the
tunnels, they release hydrocyanic
acid, which snuffs out life imme
diately. "
The killing fumes can be forced
through the runs as fast as 150

THE “NOBLEST ROMAN"?—Believed to be the first activity
of its kind in Europe, an “Eisenhower for President” movement
has been started in Italy by the three World War II veterans,
above. Wearing their “I like Ike” buttons, they are, from left:

generally too quick.
“Each time the pump stem came
down,” he recalls, “the gopher felt
the change in air pressure and

Batzner is happy about the way

Influencing
Fashions Today
By DOROTHY ROE
AP Women’s Editor
Biggest influence to date on the
nation’s fashion tastes is tele
vision.
Up to now Hollywood has been
considered the fountainhead for
mass-production fads. Girls want
to look like Lana Turner or Eliza
beth Taylor and get themselves up
accordingly. But movie styles al
ways have been somewhat ex
treme for common or garden
wear.
Now a few smart gals are steer
ing TV costumes toward the bud

Average Viewer, The results look
like a landslide for merchandis
ing. g (
Fashion coordinating for tele
vision shows seems one of the big |
fields of opportunity for ambi
tious girls who want to break into
this lusty young industry. One
who already has made good at the
job is Helen Weiss, former de
partment store buyer, who chooses

fits for the types who are likely
to be among the audience—trim
little office outfits and date
dresses for the two girls, simple
but tasteful outfits for the pros=-
perous married sister, siightly
dregsier things for the landlady
and nice housedresses for grand
ma. Says Miss Weiss:
“We try to select clothes that
will be available in towns all over
the country and within the aver
age budget. At the same time we
look for things in good taste, sim
ple and wearable. None of the
extreme neckline stuff, The re
sponse from listeners is amazing.
They write in from all over want
ing to know where to buy this or
that dress worn on the show.”
Another young woman helping
to shape U. S. styles via Video is
Corinne Schwab, fashion coordi
nator for another popular TV
show, “The Big Payoff.” This one
features a fashion show in con
nection with prizes won by male
contestants for their wives or best
girls. Miss Schwab, who formerly
did much the same job for Twen
tieth Century-Fox films, chooses
sound fashion merchandise priced
for the average budget from man
ufacturers with wide distribution,
Says she*
“The show gets about 23,000 let
ters a week from people who want
to be on the program, and of these
about ten per cent ask about the
merchandise shown.
“We're working out tie-ins with
local stores in towns all over the
country which will stock the fash
ions modeled on the show. It looks
like something with unlimited
possibilities, if we keep the fash
ions within reach of the average
woman. At present we show
dresses that retail for under $35,
hats that sell for $12.50 or less.
~Accessories, such as costume
jewelry, scarfs, handbags and
shoes, are chosen from popular
price lines, selected for goed taste
and top fashion.” -
It is estimated the show is seen
by some six million viewers daidy,
and this constitutes a potential
market that shoula excite any
seller of merchandise.
Television even may changé the
specifications for the ideal fash
ion model, says Miss Schwab, who °
explains:
“We can’t use the conventional
models on our show--the string
bean type or super-sophisticaved
girls, Instead we pick girls who
are young, fresh and natural look
ing—the idea is to choose types
that look like the girls next door.”
MESSAGE FROM MOSCOW
MINOT, N. D. — (AP) — Pete
Mastel, a shortwave radio fan,
was mentioned over Radio Mos
cow recently.
Mastel wrote Radio Moscow
asking for a complete list of fre
quencies and times for English
language broadcasts. He also re
quested information about a giant
bell in the Kremlin, Mastel's fath
er had visited Moscow before
| World War I and described the
| bell as large enough to “drive a
team of horses in through a crack
in the side, turn around and come
out again.”
Radio Moscow soon replied by
mail and over the air, Mastel wds
told the Czar Bell still stands in
the Kremlin. “In the Soviet
Union,” I Petrov of the letters de
partment said, “items of historteal
significance are carefully pre
served.”
