Bodies Of War Dead in
China Sought by U. 5.
By The A.seeiotsd Press

One Of the most difncult searches
in all history is being made In
China in an attempt to recover the
bodies of 1000 American service
men, mainly aviators who bailed
out or crashed In that country dur
ing the war.
In addition, 500 isolated graves
have been located, Col. Charles F.
Kearney, in charge of graves regis
tration work at headquarters of the
United States forces in China, re-
ported to Maj Gen. T. B. Larkin,
the quartermaster general.
Rewards are offered by both the
United States and the Chinese gov
ernments for information leading to
recovery of bodies.
Outlining some Of the problems
Of search teams, covering an area
one-third the size Of the United
States, Col. Kearney reported:
Roads are practically nonex-
istent. Airfields are scarce and not
in good condition. We can get into
some areas only by air. We have
travelled to some areas by boat and
to others by pack animals"
Now buried in five cemeteries in
China are 1924 war dead. Those
whose next of kin desire will be re-
turned to the United States.

Navy Tests Harness Padding
To Cut Speed-Crosh Danger
By Thomos R. Henry

A start on blueprints for a padded
cell world is being made at the
Naval Medical Research Center at
Bethesda.
The first practical application
already seems close at hand-air-
plane nose crashes at terrific speeds
in which there will be few or NO
serious casualties. To make this
possible. volunteer Navy enlisted
men are taking daily the equivalent
Of 10,000-pound blows on their
bodies to test the efficacy of newly
devised flying harnesses.
But all this is probably only a
start, says Comdr. Howard r. Bier
man of the Naval Medical Corps
Comdr. Bierman and his associates
are concerned primarily with the
whole field Of pathological effects
Of force on the human body and
means to Offset them in an ever
faster and more perilous world.
Gravity Units Measured.
, They are considering, Comdr
Bierman says, "gs" or the units OF
gravity in which shocks can be
as they would consider
disease germs with measurable
virulence and incubation periods.
The new flying harnesses are
designed to take the place Of the
present safety belts provided air
crews and passengers. When a
plane crashes, people are killed
or MANNED by the sudden impact
Present cabins and cockpits are SO
strongly built they seldom are
crushed. although the rest Of the
plane may be a twisted mass OF
junk. But the passengers are thrown
forward with terrific force. Their
skulls are crushed against the walls
or their bodies cut in two against
instruments or the seats in front
The reason for the present safety
belts is to hold back the wearers
The difficulty is that If the impact
Is great enough the belt breaks, OF
1t cuts through the body of the
wearer. It presses hard against
the solar plexus, even with q
relatively mild crash, resulting in
Inconsistencies for a few seconds
This is believed to be the reason for
many drownings when planes crash
at sea. The unconscious crew and
cannot launch a life boat

narily few would be left. alive in
such . plane.
The impact is tested as follows:
An enlisted man lies on his back on
a platform, wearing the vest. To it
are attached straps, and to these
straps q 500-pound weight. At a
given signal, this weight is allowed
to drop five feet. This is equivalent
to about 10000 pounds of impact.
1t is almost the same thing as if
a weight of 500 pounds were dropped
from height of five feet directly on
the mans body. except that here the
shock of the impact Is distributed
over q wider area.
Faces Indicate Pain.
The face Of the volunteer, when
the impact comes indicates it is
an extremely painful experience.
The sailors say, however, that
usually the expression is entirely
involuntary and that it does not
really hurt. One of the surprises
has been how much the chest can
stand without being crushed.
Within the next two months 1t is
planned to crash an airplane DELHI
erately with a crew aboard to test
the effects.
But to Comdr. Bierman and his
associates-Lt. Harper L. Hellems,
1t. Russell Wilder, 1t. Alvin Sinder-
brand and Ensign Leonard Spragg-
perhaps the greatest usefulness will
come with redesigning of household
furniture, school house stairways,
bath tubs, etc, which are respon-
sible for the greatest number OF
accidents in daily life.

House Groups S Atom Plan
Attacked by Women Voters

The League of Women Voters yes
terday attacked the House Military
Affairs Committee stand on atomic
energy control, charging it made the
military dominant in atomic energy
policy. contrary to the basic inter-
national position recently proposed
by Bernard Baruch and indorsed by
President Truman.
Mrs. Harold A. Stone, first vice
president, declared the House, COM
mittee has indorsed bill so radio
ally different" from the Senate-ap-
proved measure for q civilian COM
mission that House members should
defeat the version. Senate and
House enactment of opposing bills
would necesatate a conference which
might well mean there would be
no atomic energy legislation this
summer" she said. v.,,
The House committee action op-
poses not only the will of a vast
majority of the people," Mrs. Stone
contended, but also violates funda-
mental governmental principle of
the supremacy of civilian over mill
tary control.

A difference Of opinion between

trict tuberculosis problem drew
from Gen. Young the observation
Accordingly, I find myself unable

In connection with the recent
hospital survey by the health coun.
Gil, Gen. Young observed where II
touches the municipal program "i1
would seem that the Health De.
partment's six-year plan is in gen.
eral accord with the views of tn,
council except as regards Glenr
Dale"
He added that the council repor
should be given careful attention
during the coming summer to sc,
whether 1t justifies q revision of an,
OF the recommendations in the six
year plan.
Particular attention." he said
should be given the portions of tn,
councils report dealing, not will

These, he concluded, might ma

Regardless Of what happens to a

the chances are nobody will be seri-

minimized.
The new "deceleration harness" is
shaped like fencer's vest and so
constructed that it utilizes the
stretching properties Of especially
processed nylon to the greatest ad-
vantage. 1t is shaped to provide a
wide covering area of 156 square
inches of the upper part of the body.
Tests conducted by special appa-
ratus show that this harness can
withstand, without stretching. up to
5000 pounds and can absorb. with
stretching, more than 10000 pounds
of impact.

Serb Volunteer Chief
Declares Fought
Alongside Germans
BY the Assoeioted Press

BELGRADE, June 22.-The COM
mander of the Serbian Volunteer
Corps told a military court today
that the corps had fought along
side the Germans against Marshal
Tito's partisans and at one time
had been put under command of
Gen. Draja Mihailovich.
The corps commander, Kosta
Musicki, said arms for the corps
were supplied by the Germans and
admitted under questioning that
his first units were formed from
followers Of Yugoslav Fascist
party.
He said he put himself and the
corps under Gen. Mihailovich's COM
mand in the Julian March area on
the Istrian Peninsula.
Two Plead Innocent.
Musicki, on trial with Gen. Mi
hailovich and % others on charges
of treason and collaboration, pleaded
innocent at todays session of court,
as did Djuro Dokic, former Min
lister of Communications in the war
time Yugoslav puppet government.
MuSicki, a former colonel in the
Yugoslav Army, said his units led
a column of Germans against the
partiSan-held town of Cacek and
admitted his forces helped to block
ade the town. But he denied or
ganizing mass arrests and eXecu-
tions when his corps entered Cacek
with the Germans, as charged in
the indictment.
When the court asked why
Musicki's soldiers had not killed
Germans, he replied: There was
no reason. Why should we kill a
man who gave us arms?"
Attached to German Staff.
Questioned about the indictment
charge that both the Germans and
puppet Premier Marshal Milan Ne
dies government considered the
Serbian Volunteer Corps as part
of the Wehrmacht, Musicki admit
ted that he was attached to the
German staff.
Dokic, accused Of directing the
establishment, maintenance, and
protection of communications which
aided the Germans, said it was "for
special reasons that he collaborated
with the occupier. We were never
allies with the Germans. We were
an occupied country and had to
do what they said for the sake Of
law and order"
He said Partisan fighters were
responsible for the deaths of Ser
bians because there would have
been law and order under the Nazis
if people from the forests had not
tried to attack the occupier."

Launch Drive To Make Communist French President

PARIS, Jan. 21-(P)-The Com munist party launched a drive to name a successor to DeGaulle, who resigned from the provisional presidency of France last night af- ter a cabinet crisis at which De- Gaulle stepped down from the presidency with the announcement that he considered he had com pleted his task "of leading the country toward liberation, victory and sovereignty"
 Party leaders met in a special conference and are expected to call the assembly into session either late today or tomorrow. AL though his secretary said the res ignation was "irrevocable," some political sources predicted that DeGaulle might be prevailed upon to form a new government or re- consider ms resignation.
 There are some reports that his resignation might be rejected by the Assembly. The Communists after holding a conference with representatives of the more con- servative Popular Republ n party, announced they would de- mand a Communist be elected as provisional president, and ad- vanced the name of their minister of state, Maurice Thorez, as De- Gaulle's successor.
 There are several reasons ad- vanced for DeGaulle's resignation, among them his unalterable oppo- sition to the proposed draft of the constitution on which Socialists and Communists are working, leaving the Popular Republican Movement party outside.

Paints Ice Black To Open Yukon Channel

The owner of the steamboat "Casca" on the Yukon River, now counts on putting his craft into profitable operation three weeks earlier than usual each year, says Decorator" an English trade pa per.
 He achieves this feat by putting the rays of the sun to work. He painted the river ice black for 29 miles across Lake Labarge to the headwaters of the Yukon. Paint made from carbon black and die sel oil was sprayed from tractor drawn equipment on strip 40 feet wide. Within a month the blackened strip had cut itself a channel a foot deep in the ice.
 Dark surfaces absorb a much greater proportion of the heat of the sun than light surfaces. Stead fly every day the softened surface ate its way through the ice until the channel was clear.-National Engineer Iondon.
