Even today old-timers insist the drink with the bitter aftertaste — now only available in New England — can calm nerves, put weight on the emaciated and help reformed al coholics with thejitters. “I was weaned on Moxie,” said Howard Wiseman, who drove up from Dauphin, Pa., to mark the cen tennial of the gentian root-based carbonated beverage that was in vented a century ago as an elixir for nerves by Augustin Thompson of Union, Maine. He first hawked it on the road as “Beverage Moxie Nerve Food,” tout ing it as a cure for such wide-ranging ailments as male impotence, nervous breakdowns and dyslexia. Slouch by Jim Earle “What if Hart announces his selection of Mon dale as his vice presidential running mate, or if Jack- son selects Kennedy, or if McGovern runs with Car ter .... ” The original label said the drink had the power to “recover brain and nervous exhaustion, loss of man hood, imbecility and helplessness” along with “softening of the brain, locomotor ataxia and insanity when caused by nervous exhaustion.” Playful elephant kills three hippos The original drink was not car bonated but Thompson began car bonating it after six years and the nation’s oldest soft drink was born. United Press International In its 1920s heyday, Moxie out sold Coca-Cola in 35 states. But the Depression forced Moxie to cut back on advertising and distribution and now the drink is bottled and sold only in New England. KARLSRUHE, West Germany — Detectives and zoo experts Sunday cracked the case of the slain hippo potami and unmasked the villain —a meddlesome, 3Va ton Indian el ephant. The hippos — two adults and a new-horn calf — were found suffo cated in their steam-filled pool en closure at Karlsruhe Zoo early day by keepers. Detectives concluded that iht ephant, a 30-year-old called (Queen), sharing the next ended in the house, had pulled freed chain, reached over fencing opened a valve with her trunk, Water hotter than HO di sluiced into the normally 68-di hippo pool and the animals si caled in the heat and steam.

The state stands to gain a portion of revenues from oil and gas leases on tracts adjoining state waters. The areawide bidding program, begun two years ago to stimulate drilling and domestic production, opens an entire area — in Wednes day’s sale the entire western Gulf, for instance — for bidding. Any company interested in any tract in that 35.3 million acre area can bid on it if it is not already under lease. Through 22 previous sales, 4.6 million acres have been leased. Wednesday’s is the first sale to be held in Houston. Previously, bidders in offshore oil lease sales were restricted to specific tracts, increasing competition be cause of the limited number of leases. “It (the areawide method) allows the major oil companies to, in effect, buy the government’s land at a fire sale and then warehouse them at rel atively nominal prices,” Mattox said. “We cannot tolerate a virtual give away of our coastal resources,” he said. Joseph Stiglitz, an economist at Stanford and Princeton universities, testified for the state Monday that the government’s methods of selling the leases virtually assured they would not bring fair market value since fewer bidders participate for specific tracts. “There are going to be a lot of tracts. They’re going to be selling be low their fair market value,” he said. The sale will be held in the Westin Galleria Hotel and includes an area from the stale’s territorial w boundary 3 miles offshore to proxiinately 220 miles offshore tween the Sabine River Brownsville. Barney Congdon, a publicaftl spokesman in New Orleans for| Minerals Management Service- branch of the Interior Depai that conducts the sales — disa| that the areawide method of was not competitive. “We have some 80 com] qualified for this bidding," he “We certainly think it is a com] itive way of offering leases.” He said by offering area* tracts, the Interior Departmei able to save tax money by avi extensive geological evaluation! specific tracts. gthe Oly in | peting foi ace, and l the best sv O’Neil, looking r ban the t aid he’s Swim mee lot of pr his.” O’Neil’: Iso a Tt that O’Ni about two “He’d tos said. “He sort of a cl hating.

A&M to outfit research ship By MICHAEL CANNATA Reporter A deep sea drilling ship that may be the most advanced in the world is being developed by the Ocean Dril ling Program at Texas A&M. Once complete the ship will be used for re search drilling in some of the world’s deepest waters. Dr. Philip Rabinowitz, the direc tor and principal scientist for the 10- year National Science Foundation project, is sending out requests for bids to refit the 470-foot ship SEDCO. The oil exploration vessel must be modified to house the scien tific equipment nessessary for the re search. “We’re going to convert an oil drilling ship into a scientific drilling ship,” Rabinowitz says. “They’re two different operations. Some of the drilling is the same, but oil drilling companies don’t collect rocks. Their purpose is to find oil and ours is just the opposite.” The conversion calls for a four- story prefabricated laboratory to be built on the deck of the ship. The three decks below will he gutted, then rebuilt to accommodate the new scientific facilities. Rabinowitz says once the conver sion is complete the ship will be the most modern floating scientific re search center of its kind. The scien tists on board the ship will be able to drill for core samples in waters as deep as 27,000 feet. The ship is expected to cost be tween $15 million and $20 million a year to operate. The project is being funded by the National Science Foundation. Dan Hunt, program director for the National Science Foundation, says the NSF has been supporting ocean exploration for more than a decade. “The funding basically comes from NSF, which also funded the Deep Sea Drilling Project for 15 years,” Hunt says. “This is the! low-up program to build a bigf ship and a better ship.” In the past, NSF has done its o' research, hut this time the reseai was contracted, he says. Texas A&M submitted a bidf* the Ocean Drilling Program !' years ago to Joint Oceanographic stitutions Inc., a non-profit corpoi tion that directs the program contract to build a $5 million fai to conduct the program awarded last year. Plans call for 60,000 square foot building, v/hi will he built next to the poultry fai just off University Drive. Program director Rabinowiusa' the building will have a 10,1 square foot refrigerated stora] room for the rock samples that be brought hack from all over world. Conversion of the ship is sche» tiled for completion by Decenih when it will go on a test cruise.
