RUSSIA'S BIG GOLDI Took 22 Minutes To Refuel RED DRIVE

London, Dec. 29.

Port authorities reported tonight that Russia had sent five ships with 40 more tons of gold to Britain in the past week.

The new disclosures followed the arrival of two tons by air only last night.

They brought the total value of Soviet gold im- ports during the past week to at least $46,000,000.

"Abominable Snowman Is Not Likely

To Be Caught"-Tensing

Calcutta, Dec. 29.

Tensing Norkey, Nepalese sherpa who conquered Mt Everest with Britain's Sir Edmund Hillary, said today he believed that the mysterious "Abominable Snowman" existed and that a new British expedition would throw much light on the beast said to haunt the Himalayan heights.

Tensing said that he was pleased that a British expedition would leave early next year to trace the snowman, known locally as "Yeti."

But he said he doubted that the expedition would capture the so-called “Snowman”.

Paris, Dec. 20. The Belgian astrologer, Andre Floriscone, revealed today the formula he uses to find out whether the influence of a given planet is good or bad.

Speaking at the seventh Con- gress of Astrology, he said he divided the mass of the planet by the cube of its distanco from the Sun. If the resulting figure was above one, then the planet in question had a "good" is=" fluence.
