The world's smallest ridable bicycle, $4^{1 / 2}$ by 9 inches, belongs to Alf Tabb, Kiddeminster, Worcheshire, England. This bicycle, which is the size of a roller skate, is one of a collection of bicycles which includes five between $4^{1 / 2}$ and 12 inches high.
Win 5 Pounds; Ride This Bike 10 Yards
Washington-U.P.)—Senate Republicans made it clear today they won't join any "lame duck" drive to pass legislation that can wait until next year when the G.O.P. will have a bigger voice in congress.
Tabb, 68, makes his bicycles from scrap metal and occasionally rides them in vaudieville shows. He can ride the smallest one-fourth of a mile and offers five pounds to anyone who can ride it for 10 yards.
Mr. Taft told a news conference Monday he did not expect the session this year to accomplish much because it would last only about three weeks. He personally favors deferring consideration of rent control extension and an excess profits tax until next year, he said.
The cue came first from Sen. Robert A. Taft, R., Ohio, on his triumphant return from Ohio to take command of the G.O.P. policy committee for the cleanup session of the 81st congress.
Asked what he thought the short
At least one of his legislative lieutenants expects the President to let the Nov. 27 date stand in line with advice from Democratic congressional leaders.
Unless recalled earlier by President Truman, congress is scheduled to return for a "lame duck" session on Nov. 27. Mr. Truman has been considering an earlier summons and may soon announce his decision.
Sen. Homer Ferguson, R., Mich, told reporters the session this year would have more lame duck senators than usual because of the number defeated in primaries and elections. Legislation that can wait until next year, he said, should be handled by the new 82nd congress convening on Jan. 3.
One administration spokesman conceded that there is little chance of passing any legislation this year except for emergency defense appropriations which may be requested.
session should do, he replied jokingly: "Adiourn."
Mr. Taft would not predict whether the senate would act on the house-approved Hawaiian and Alaskan statehood bills. They are on the senate program for the short session.
Mr. Taft merely reiterated that he favored the Hawaiian bill and opposed the Alaskan measure.
Red Jet Planes Damage Two US Superforts
By Gene Symonds (U.P) Staff Correspondent
Fifth Air Force Headquarters, Korea, Nov. 14 — U(IP)-Soviet-built jet fighters shot up two American superfortresses so badly in a wild five-minute battle over the Manchurian border today that they made emergency landings with their wounded crews on Korean airfields.
One of the Japan-based B-29s, whose pilot had been wounded in the leg by a 20-millimeter shell, veered off the runway of Seoul's Kimop airfield and wrecked four marines night fighters parked along the strip. The bomber carried one other wounded crewman.
The other B-29 landed safely at another airfield with several wounded. One of its ailerens had been hit and it was running out of gasoline and oil.
The two superfortresses were part of a formation of 18 which dropped 140 tons of demolition bombs on the two double-tracked railway bridges over the Yala river frontier at Siniuj with "good to excellent" results.
None of the enemy jet planes was shot down.
Sinuiju, provisional capital of North Korea, is in the northwest corner of Korea. Most of the Chinese Communist troops now fighting in Korea crossed from Manchuria over the Sinuiju bridges. One span of one of the bridges was reported to have crashed into the river after earlier American air attacks.
A Fifth Air force spokesman said unmarked Soviet-built MIG-15 jet fighters pounced on the B-29s today a few seconds after they had dumped their loads on the Yalu bridges in the face of intense enemy anti-aircraft fire.
The enemy planes attacked in groups of four, crew members said. Two strafed the bombers from front to rear, and two from the rear, they said.
One superfortress crew member said eight to 10 of the enemy jets shrieked across the frontier from Manchuria and attacked almost before the bombers could close their bomb bays.
Pilots of American F-80 shooting star jet fighters escorting the bombers dropped their wing-tip fuel tanks and engaged the enemy, but the faster Soviet-built planes pulled away and escaped across the frontier. None of the F-80s was downed.
The MIG-15s for the first time carried auxiliary fuel tanks slung under the middle of each wing, indicating that they now may be operating from bases deep inside Manchuria.
Jazz Group Is Pioneer
The organization grew out of a series of jam sessions started by Norman Granz, manager, while he was attending U.C.L.A. in 1941. Nine national tours and the current tenth tour have resulted from the original sessions.
The Jazz at the Philharmonic group, which will appear Monday night, Nov. 20 in Hoch auditorium, was one of the pioneers of the movement to get jazz music into concert halls.
The current group, which plays in approximately 50 cities in the United States and Canada, will go to Europe this year for the first time. They will open in Copenhagen in March.
Granz has made many recordings under the "Jazz at the Philharmonic" label. They are unrehearsed recordings and represent the particular group that was playing for Granz at the time. Practically every major jazz artist is represented on these records.
The University concert will be given at 8:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 20. Tickets are on sale at the business office in Strong hall and at the Student Union Activities office in the Union lounge.
