.Fifth-Generation Navy Man
Gets Midshipman Post

Midshipman Sumner K. Moore,
81, fifth-generation Navy man, was
appointed regimental operations Of
ficer at Annapolis yesterday. He
will hold the post for three months,
beginning December Is.
Midshipman Moore, who lives at
1925 Cleveland avenue NV, entered
the Naval Academy in 1914 as a
presidential appointee and is to
graduate in June.
The Navy is a tradition in Mid
shipman Moore's family which he
can trace unbroken back to great
great grandfather, Commodore H. n.
Lockwood, first instructor in mill
tary tactics at the time the Naval
Academy was founded in l845. A
great grandfather, Rear Admiral
Charles D. Sigsbee, commanded the
battleship Maine at the time it
blew up In Havana harbor.

Price Of Newsprint
Increased S. a Ton
" the Assoeioied Pysss

TORONTO, Dec. 5.-An increase
OF s6 a ton in the price of news
print, effective January l, has been
announced by the Abitibi Sales Co.,
Ltd, distributors for the Abitibi
Power and Paper Co., Ltd, one OF
Canada's biggest producers.
The current price Of newsprint
is about $86 4 ton in Canada, which
sends approximately 80 per cent OF
her production of about $500, ,00O
tons to the United States.
Abitibis announcement followed
a statement by Consolidated Paper
Sales, Ltd, of Montreal that It's
prices would remain unchanged in
January and February but that a
subsequent price advance "of sub

LIBERAL TRAVEL MEASURE
A bill to increase transportation al
lowances for Government employees
on official business has been intro
duced by Senator Kilgore, Democrat,
of West Virginia.
Senator Kilgore's measure would
grant Federal workers cents mile
when they use their own autos for
Official business within the city
They would get 7l2 cents mile for
driving their cars from one city to
another. Present rates are 4 cents
mile within city and 5 cents a
mile from city to city.
This kind of an increase has been
advocated for some time by various
Federal officials and employees
groups, who contend the present
rate isn't enough.
Senator Kilgore's measure, which
was referred to the Senate Execu-
tive Expenditures Committee, also
contains a provision which woule
increase per diem travel expenses
for Government workers from the
present Sc rate to So while travelling
in the continental United States. A
50 rate would be paid for overseas
travel
This per diem provision also Is
contained in bill introduced by
Chairman Aiken of the committee
which is now awaiting Senate &C
ton.

Some other agencies are nearly

At any rate, Mr.. Rees plans to
call the various agencies before his

Court Cl! Will Be Asked

The American Association for

The American Association for
the United Nations will ask the
Supreme Court to invoke the United
Nations Charter against the prac-
tice of racial discrimination in the
purchase and use of real estate. the
Associated Press reported from New
York today.
The association expects to file a
friend Of the court" brief with the
highest court Monday in connection
with four cases involving its restric-
tive property covenant.
The Justice Department and
nearly score Of organizations, most
of them opposed to covenants, al
ready have sent in briefs.
The brief planned by the Ameri-
can Association for the United Ma
tions, however, is the first to base
its entire case on the contention
that pertinent articles Of the United
Nations charter should nullify con-
fiicting State and municipal laws.
Two Cases From District.
OF the four cases on which the
Supreme Court will hear arguments
next week, two originated in the
District. The other two are ap-
peals from ST. Louis and Detroit.
The issue in all of them is whether
covenants, aimed largely at barring
colored persons from white neigh
borhoods, are Constitutional and le-
gally enforceable by court injunc-
ton.
The AAUN describes itself as a
ma ation- wide, non-proflt" organiza-
ton whose aims are to educate the
public on behalf of the UN and to
gain support for the world organiza-
ton.
Spokesman for the AAUN said the
groups brief will contend that terms
of the charter and treaties ratified
by the United States are superior TO
State or municipal law.
The group will argue that United
States courts should be prohibited
from taking action that violates the
declared United States foreign policy
of assisting in the prevention OF
racial and religious discrimination.
Sees Blow to U. S. Prestige.
If the Supreme Court upholds the
decision of the lower courts in these
cases, the AAUN will point out, a

international moral prestige Of this

10000 in Cairo Back
Call for 'Ho|y War
On Palestine Split
by the Asseeiotsd Press

CAIRO, Dec. 5.-A crowd Of 20,000
Egyptians roared approval today of
calls for "holy war" to thwart the
partitioning of Palestine.
The meeting, authorized by the
government, adopted series of res
olutions calling for aid to Palestine's
Arabs and denouncing the nations
which voted for partition.
Mounted police welding clubs
charged an overflow demonstration
outside the 1,000-year -old AL Azhar
Mosque, which was Joined by the
crowd emerging from the meeting.
Moslem brotherhood leaders, bowling
to the governments ban on demon
strations, persuaded police not to
pursue the crowd, which departed
toward the business district in large
numbers, but in orderly fashion.
Inveighs Against Jews.
Inside the mosque, the meeting,
which followed the Moslem Sabbath
prayer session, punctuated the
speeches with shouts of Down with
the American traitors" and similar
cries against the British and Rus
slams.
Using a loud speaker, an imam
(priest) of the mosque told the
meeting AL Azhar was taking the
lead in a jihad (holy war; by calling

Sheik HaSsan el Banna, leader of
the Moslem Brotherhood Associa-

Jews. He declared that If foreigners
in Egypt wanted protection from the
government they must join our

Saleh Harb Pasha, former Defense
Minister and now president Of the
Young Mems Moslem Association
waved a Koran (Moslem Bible) and
drew a pistol, shouting:

Resolutions Adopted.
The meeting adopted these resolu-
tions:
l. To create an organization fol
taking material and moral meas

2. Calling on the government to
defend "Arabism" by supplying the
means for training volunteers fol

3. Asking Egyptian leaders to re-
turn decorations received from ma

trained. Egypt will lead the Arab
countries in the struggle"
Four Days of Demonstrations.
The crowd streamed from the
mosque still shouting slogans, and
carrying some leaders on their

A robot soldier made Of copper is
solving some of the Army's cold
weather clothing problems.
His "insides" are extremely COM
plex systems Of wires through which
pass electric currents duplicating
the heat mechanism of the human
body. a. j.
He is dressed In standard Army
uniforms and put outdoors to de-
ternine the efficacy Of clothing In
various degrees Of cold, wind and
humidity.
The degree of heat can be regu-
lated precisely for different parts
of the body. The toes may be
heated differently from the fingers,
the ears from the knees. This is
the actual condition in a living
man. The most important test is
the rate of loss of skin temperature
through different kinds of clothes
under different conditions.
Constructed During War.
The copper man was constructed
by the Air Force during the war.
Now he is one of the chief perform
ers at the Climatic Research Labo-
ratory of the Quartermaster Corps
at Lawrence, Mass.
| He is likely to be OF much greater
usefulness in the future, believes
DR.. Harwood S. Belding, laboratory
director, who foresees the day when
q copper man will be standard
equipment at most Weather Bureau
stations.
Weather forecasters now predict
temperatures, humidity, etc, but
their forecasts often seem to have
little relation to whether the aver
age person will fell uncomfortable
outdoors.
Use of the copper man may elm
mate this difficulty, Dr. Belding be-
lieves. He measures the human re-
action to the whole weather COM
plex.
Test Station in Arctic.
Ordinarily, DR.. Belding said, the
copper man is set outdoors in his
underwear, since this is the most
important part of the clothing now
being tested. He serves his purpose
better than a real man, even if the
latter could endure the extremes OF
temperature, because his reactionS
can be measured precisely.
Once the findings are made, how
ever, they must be tested with liv-
ing men. For this reason field
station with 25 soldiers has been
established north Of the Arctic
Circle.
With both the copper man and
living men some important findings
have been made, DR.. Belding told
the American Physiological Society,
meeting yesterday at the Army
Medical Center here. In an ex-

Chinese Battle Flares
As Reds Pour Out Of
Mountain Stronghold
a BY ME Assosiotsd prsss

KIUKIANG, China, Dec. 5.-A
great battle was reported raging
today in Central China with
one-eyed Gen. Liu Po-cheng's
Communist troops pouring from
their Ia Pieh Mountain hide
outs In full force.
Some observers suggested Gen. Liu
was trying to break through to
Szechwan, China's wild West" pro.
vince whose principal city is Chung.
king, the nations wartime capital.
1t. Gen. Hsu Tsu-yI, chief of staff
at the new Yangtze river headquar-
ters, said the battle began yesterday
northeast of Hankow in a triangle
formed by the cities of Sinyang,
Hwangchwan and Shangcheng, in
southeastern Honan province. He
estimated that nearly all of Gen.
Lius 100000 central China troops
have been thrown into the engage
ment. Some 10000 government
troops, most of them American
equipped and some of them Ameri-
can-trained, have taken up the chal-
lenge.
Gen. Hsu said it will be four or five
days before the battle reaches a
critical stage.
The spokesman suggested that the
Communists may be hoping Red
Gen. Chen vi will shift his forces
from Shantung and Eastern Hopeh
Provinces to Ia Pieh, leaving Gen.
Liu free to make a westward trek.
Faces 250-Mile March.
Whether Gen. Liu will attempt to
march to SzechWan is matter Of
speculation backed by government
intelligence. 1t is approximately $50
air miles from the battle scene to
the eastern border of Szechwan.
| Gen. Hsu commented that the
principal difficulty facing the gov
ernment is political rather than
military. He said means must be
found to combat the influence OF
Communists.
Militarily, government forces here
have set up a defense in depth to
hold Communists to the north bank
of the Yangtze.
In Peiping Gen. Flu Tso-yi, named
to head a new Communist suppress
sion command in the north, set up
branch headquarters at Tientsin,
Paoting and Tatung. The head
quarters at Taiyuan, capital OF
Shansi Province, will remain under
Gov. Yen Hsi-shan.
A local news agency in Peiping
reported that Chinese Communists
who captured Shihkiachwang, 172
miles to the southwest, had un-
earthed a hoard of silver worth bill
lions of Chinese dollars. The treas
ure had been hidden under a fac
tory by japanese during the war,
the agency said.
In Manchuria the government
claimed the recovery of the entire
Changchun-Kirin railway line with
] the capture of Chiutai, 35 miles east
of Changchun.

Copper Man Helps Army Solve
ColdWeuther Clothing Problem
!tinued to decline

Sparatlon continued to decline
steadily for the entire period.
Cold Weather Uniform Sought.
With an instrument which meas
ures as little as thousandth OF
cubic centimeter per 100 square CEN
timeters of the hand surface, meas
urements are being made of the
effect on hand heat in warming
other parts of the body, such as the
toes. Generally, it is found, when
the toes get more heat than they
need the hand begins to warm up,
and vice versa.
A major problem Of the laboratory
at present, DR.. Belding said, is to
devise a cold weather uniform which
will keep man comfortable at rest
but which will not cause sweating
when he starts to exercise. Gar
ments wet with sweat cause rapid
heat conduction from the body.
Live pigeons kept in a refrigerator
at temperature Of about 81 degrees
below zero Fahrenheit survive with
no loss of body temperature and in
comparative comfort for as much as
u hours.
Penguins Stand so Below.
Then the temperature starts to
fall suddenly and rapidly and the
birds soon die. No mammal, from
rat to man, could endure such con-
ditions. There is some evidence
that both ducks and geese can
stand even greater extremes of
temperature, and it may explain the
remarkable ability of penguins to
survive, hatch eggs and rear their
young at temperatures as low as
30 degrees below.
This is the most remarkable find
ing yet made in the Army's cold &C
climatization studies. 1t was re-
ported to psychologists by DR.. D. B.
Dill, scientific director of the Army
Chemical Center at Edgewood
Arsenal, Md.
The phenomenon is precisely the
reverse of the Information of man.
mails, said DR.. w. Fleischmann, who
is in direct charge of the expert
ments. There is somewhere in
bodies of the birds an automatic
heat regulator which is entirely
lacking in mammals, and presum-
ably in most birds, which prevents
the body temperature from falling
regardless of the cold outside. AL
though the nature of this mechan-
ism is still a complete mystery, DR..
Fleschmann says, it may be init
mately tied in with birds acces-
sorry breathing apparatus.
Scattered through birds body,
usually close to the bones, are air
sacs. They generally have been
considered as intended to tighten
weight but they also may serve to
conserve body heat.
Although the finding at present
has no application to human beings
it may have some future significance
in the design of clothing.
