CITY JUNGLE—Overgrown weeds in a vacant lot in New
York City arc being uprooted by sanitation department work-
ers. The stalks are actually marijuana, growing wild in the
Bronx. More than 1500 pounds were destroyed—enough to
produce more than one million dollars worth of marijuana
cigarets.
daring West Berliners recently
completed a 39-day crossing of the
Atlantic in a 25-foot sloop that
would have fitted easily on the deck
of Christopher Columbus' flagship.
Following the course set by the
great navigator in 1492, they made
it in a boat which perhaps is the
second smallest ever to cross the
Atlantic.
The two sailors, Dr. Hans Dienst,
37. a consulting engineer, and Dr.
Heinz Pokorny, 32, a Berlin physi-
cian, explained on docking here
after a leisurely cruise through the
Bahamas that the voyage was no
publicity stunt or wild adventure.
'It’s very simple,” said Dienst.
It’s my prescription for health.
Some people go to a sanitarium to
rest from the stresses and strains
of modern life. 1 sail a ship instead.
"This was not an adventure trip.
We carefully planned every detail.
My friends in Berlin consider me
not an adventurer but an exact
man.”
Second Smallest
Dienst, the only one of the two
who speaks English, said he thinks
his single-masted sloop, Grudon, is
er felt that we were in any real
danger of sinking,” the engineer
said.
After replenishing supplies in the
Canary Islands, the Grudon was

Dienst said he and Pokorny made three sizable thunderstorms, none
the trip in two phases.
In the summer of 1955, they sail-
that despite its smallness, the
Grudon is reasonably safe for
oceanic travel.

high and rough seas is safer than

If Tom is four years older than

seven times Jerry’s age then, how
old is each today?

ed the rugged little craft from Ger-
many around the European conti-
nent to Huelva, Spain — the jump-
ing-off point for Columbus on his
history-making voyage. The second
part of their trip began in April of
this year.
Columbus Foster
They sailed from Huelva to Las
Palmas in the Canary Islands and
from there they made
mile trip across the Atlantic in 39
days to San Salvador, Columbus'
first landing place in the New
World. It took Columbus 29 days.
Two days after leaving Spain,
the Grudon ran into bad squalls
which whipped up heavy seas.
Dienst said they considered turning
back, but decided they had rather
face the fury of the seas than the
Hollywood Film Shop
HOLLYWOOD — IIP—Once upon a
41 time there was a shark that
was so stupid lie couldn't learn
how lo act. Maybe it really wasn't
his fault—it was just that lie hadn’t
met director Jerry Hopper, a shark
tutor from 'way back.
Instructing sharks to act is just
another chore in the day’s tolal
work, said Hopper. Dogs, birds,
people—all learn to act. No reason
why a poor fish shouldn’t get into
the game, he thinks.
“Look, Hollywood has trained
all sorts of animals to perform,"
he said. "We figured there was no
valid reason why we couldn't have
a few sharks as supporting players
in "The Sliarkfighters.’ And I
don't mean rubber sharks, either.
I mean the real thing—S-II-A-R-K
—and without any trick photog-
raphy using a studio tank.”
Hopper says training sharks
turned out to have its more inler-
csting moments. Some of them
had very interesting dispositions,
and Hopper figures they’ll be just
as good scene-stealers as a dog or
a small child.
The Winking Shark
The director said the sharks re-
ceived their instructions on loca-
tion in the Caribbean off Cuba
where the whole film was shot.
Local fishermen netted hull and
Ihe second smallest ever to cross | ridicule of their friends,

smaller vessel was pointed out to
him at Nassau as having been used
by a woman to cross the ocean.

Before they reached Las Palmas,
only 700 miles away, they lost three
double-strength sails.

tiger sharks and brought them
into shallow water.
Eventually the sharks became
sluggish and actors were able to
be near them and work with them
without great danger.
"We put them into underwater
pens and attached Invisible lines to
their muttlhs to draw them past
the actors," Hopper disclosed. “If
one got loo active, we doped him
and photographed him only as he
came to. We restarted him by us-
ing an electric buzzer.”
Hopper said the sharks quickly
caught on to the buzzer and moved
as soon as it touched them. He
said tin conditioned reflex worked
out so well that he was toying
with the idea of trying a water
ballet—maybe.
"There’s one interesting but
hardly credible episode.” he said.
"So I'll (ell it anyway. One shark
really winked each time the cam-
era came by—I swear it. He was
just like an extra trying to steal
a scene.
"I'd prefer to think it was a
nervous affliction, of course. But ’

Worried that they might lose
their sails again, they took them
down during each storm and rode
out the waves with a sea anchor.
Navigate by Stars
The two alternated night and day
at the tiller, sitting in a copper-
! lined, water-tight cockpit in the
! stern. Each man served a three-
hour watch at night. They navigat-
th *i 700 1 ec* by D>e stars with only a sextant
e ’ * | and a chronometer to check posi-
tion. They had only a small radio
| receiver — no transmitter.
Dienst and Pokorny slept in two [
bunks in the vessel’s small cabin, j
In their spare time, they would |
read, repair sails or study marine
life, a hobby of both.
The men took about 27 gallons
j of fresh water f6r the whole trip,
rationing it at one and one-halfJ
j quarts per man per day. They bath-
| ed in sea water. At the end of the
J voyage, they had about five gallons
of fresh water left.
Their biggest source of food was |
from the sea itself. Dienst said the j
fish were often quite cooperative.
“Frequently in the mornings we I
would find flying fish on the deck,” |
he said. “The fish would hit against
the mainsail during the night and
fall to the deck.”
They also carried canned meats I
and vegetables and a supply of
fresh lemons and potatoes.
The Grudon’s small auxiliary en-
gine was used only a total of four
hours during the entire trip, Dienst
said, two hours out of Las Palmas
and two hours coming into Miami.
The men won’t have much time
to enjoy their American vacation.
Dienst said he received word in
Nassau that he is wanted at his
office as soon as possible. Pokorny
plans a more leisurely return to
Germany via steamer after selling
the Grudon here.
