For want of a leash a “rabies
epidemic” is born.
Thus the Gaines Dog Research
Center, New York City, sums up
what is probably the least-com-
prehended fact about rabies. It
explains it as follows:
If every dog-owner kept his pet
on a leash at all times, there would
be no possibility of his straying
away. If he did not stray away,
there would be no opportunity for
him to get into trouble by fighting
with other dogs or snapping at
strangers who might attempt to
pet or tease him. If he did not
snap at strangers, the cry of “Mad
Dog!” would not likely be raised,
there would be no excitement or
hysteria culminating in a “rabies
epidemic” and the summary exe-
cution of many animals.
According to the Center, true
rabies is a relatively uncommon
disease. In a typical year, in the
entire United States, only 7,000
She Kept Mum
On Atom Bomb
Widow, Hide to General,
Knew All About It, but
Never Peeped.
NEW YORK. — Jean Marley
O’Leary, a former Teaneck, N. J.,
housewife, kept the world’s most
important secret from September,
1942, until August 5, 1945, thus prov-
ing that a woman can keep her
mouth closed. From the beginning
of experimentation until the explo-
sion at Hiroshima, Mrs. O’Leary
was in on the secret of the atomic
bomb. She was—and is—the admin-
istrative assistant to Maj. Gen. Les-
lie R. Groves, who headed the
army’* two billion dollar Manhattan
project
“I Was too terrified to open my
mouth,” the attractive young bru-
nette says. “There was too much at
stake for anyone to make a slip like
that. Besides, I think women can
keep a secret just as well and prob-
ably better than men can—if there
seems to bte a good reason for it.”
Shown In Movie.
Mrs. O’Leary is fascinated and
somewhat amused to see herself
portrayed in a documentary film on
development of the atomic bomb,
“The Beginning or the End.”
”1 am Audrey Totter,” Mrs.
O’Leary said rather complacently.
“And my love interest is Robert
Walker. He is a young scientist who
is an assistant to General Groves—
actually the character is a compos-
ite of about four people.
“But” — Mrs. O’Leary became
very positive—“that is part of the
film that is definitely not documen-
tary, unfortunately. We were all too
busy, working all hours of the days
and nights. The picture people just
had to weave a little imaginary
stuff into the picture to give it a
love interest.”
Generally speaking, Widow
O’Leary is quite happy about the
film “Jean O’Leary,” and came to
New York to purchase a super eve-
ning gown for the premiere of the
picture in Washington February 20.
“I’d visited all the atomic instal-
lations from Oak Ridge to Los
Alamos,” she said. “I’d read a per-
fectly terrifying document, written
by a scientist, on what we were
trying to do. Then came our biggest
moment: the test on July 15, 1945,
and I was as nervous as a cat.”
Gives a Party.
A few days before the test, Mrs.
O’Leary invited 47 persons to a
post-experiment party at her Ar-
lington, Va., apartment.
“We didn’t know whether it was
going to be a celebration or a
wake,” she said, "and at the party
there were only three persons who
knew that it was a celebration of
any sort.”
After Hiroshima she sent her 13-
year-old daughter some clippings

rabies in summer because men

Insecticide to Kill Aphids,
Mites Reported as Effective
CHICAGO. — Development of a
new insecticide, TEP, reported ca-
pable of killing some insect pests
unaffected by DDT, was announced
by Dr. Leo R. Tehon, acting chief
Of the Illinois history survey.
The new insecticide, tetraethyl
pyrophosphate, was found unusual-
ly effective in laboratory tests
against aphids and mites, destruc-
tive crop pests described as dif-
ficult or impossible to control by
DDT.
The lethal properties of TEP were
discovered by George F. Ludvik,
working in the natural history sur-
vey laboratories on a Mansanto
Chemical company fellowship. Lab-
oratory tests indicated TEP was
10 limes as toxic as nicotine alka-
loid, the poison usually relied upon
for control of aphids (hi peas, ap-
ples, potatoes, peaches and other
crops. Tests indicated that TEP
do$s not leave a poisonous resi-
due, the announcement said.
