Methodist Bishop Tells
Senator's Liquor Ads
Lure Youth 10 Drink
BY the Associated Press

Methodist Bishop Wilbur E. Ham,
maker of Denver told Senators to-
day that youth is being lured to
drink by liquor advertisements which
depict mo stagger-not even a
swagger."
Bishop Hammaker led of IS wit
nesses called to testify before the
Senate Commerce Committee on a
bill by Senator Capper, Republican,
of Kansas to bar advertisements OF
alcoholic beverages from interstate
commerce Fourteen opposition wit
nesses were listed.
The bishop said he had noticed
that no man or woman drinker pic
tured in liquor advertisements Is ever
"disheveled or silly in appearance
Calls Liquor Business Sordid.
'Poised, masterful men," he OBJ
served, beautifully gowned- well be-
haved women. No unseemly coarse
ness in the relations OF men and
women In high-priced lounges or
low priced taverns.
"No fights, no brawls, no murders
The history Of the liquor business,
the clergyman asserted, Is "sordid:
shameful, Shiny, scrofulous, rather
than glad, noble and fine as the ads
try to tell u.s."
'Perfidy prevails. Evil seems to
be good. Too late, great company
finds out that once again Satan has
decked himself in the radiant raj
ment of angels"
Glenn Cunningham Testifies.
The large caucus room of the SEN
ate ONCE Building was crowded
with men and women in their middle
years or older as the hearings be-
gan. They burst into uproarious
applause when Senator Capper. in
an opening statement, said some
publishers voluntarily dropped Ii
ouor advertising. Senator Reed,
Republican, of Kansas, presiding,
had to rap for order.
Glenn Cunningham Of Emporia,
kanS., eIOTH1SF Ciduptoli hsie uiA
ner, testified he had noticed IAN
alarming increase" in the use OF
liquor by young people in the past
Is years
1.-THE cost to society in dollars
alone should make it imperative
that Senator Capper's bill be en-
acted" he said.

TOKYO, May 12.-American oc-
cupation ofIicials, commenting on
Moscow radio reports that former
Japanese airmen were being trained
by occupation forces, reiterated to-
night that there was mo basis OF
fact whatever" in the reports.
II wouldn't let japanese fly my
planes" said 1t. Gen. Ennis c.
Whitehead, commander OF the Far
East Air Forces, which controls all
Army airfields in Japan.
The Moscow radio quoted reports
available through Tokyo press cir
cles" as saying American occupation
forces we're "enlisting" former jap
anese airmen. 1t quoted a Pravda
dispatch saying, that only flyers
with more than 100 flying hours
were being chosen.
Gen. Whitehead, who first denied
the rumors April 20, said tonight
that the Air Forces employ several
thousand Japanese through the gov
ernment to maintain utilities and
billets on airfields.
They're not allowed near our

The Nicholsons have three chill

adopt Patricia but the child's real
mother could not be found to sign
the adoption papers.
Patricia hasn't seen her mother
since she was turned over to the
Nicholsons by the Welfare Depart

Patricia has not been brought up
to embrace any religion, the foster

IGI Tales About Life
In Korea Fantastic.
Army Probers Say
By n. As.ee;sssd Press

II Johnny writes home from the
Orient that he sshot six Koreans
by order OF his commanding ofIicer,r
the Army says don't believe him.
The young. inexperienced soldiers,
In their desire to impress the people
let home, have exaggerated actual
conditions to the point Of fantasy
and even falsity," said report on
troop conditions In Korea complied
by the stan OF Gen. Macarthur and
released by the Army last night.
The survey apparently arose out OF
receipt Of letters from soldiers
relatives In the United States COM
planning about rugged life in that
country.
Comforts Lacking In Korea.
The survey party members dis.
agreed, In these words:
Certain inherent conditions make
Iit impossible for standards Of living
and comfort to reach that OF condi-
tions in the United States. These
conditions are completely different
81 to domicile, heating, lighting,
roads, transportation, power and
water In this Oriental country.
There are not available here those
things which are customarily found
In the United States. : There is
q complete lack OF the little COM
forts associated with confectionery
shops, drugstores and hot dog stands.
These are not existent in Korean
communities.
"The hardening process for the
immature youths under the proc
esses Of life more rigid than those TO
which they are accustomed Is always
accompanied by published COM
plants OF military rigidity. 1t has
been found here that the majority
of recent complaints coming TO the
attention of the War Department
and the press through soldier LETT
ters to their parents were never pre-
sented to the proper immediate or
higher commander In Korea"
'sResult OF Disappointment
Discussing the "fantasy and even
falsity'' matter, the report said:
Many times this was the result
OF disappointment, as well Is the
lack Of luxuries to be found at
home. As an example the private
soldier in the SD Infantry who had
written home that he had shot
six Koreans by order Of his com.
manding oficer' admitted that his
purpose was merely to give hts
parents a thrill. Likewise, an In
vestigation Of five soldiers in the
SD Infantry, who so grossly exag-
gerated actual conditions, develops
combination OF poor discipline
and q lack OF leadership In their
company"
The survey, said the report, has
disclosed no evidence OF an under
current of agitation or organized
Communist collusion in the United
States occupation zone in Korea as
the inspiration Of recent COM
plants"

Science Editor Of The Stor

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, May
I12.-Discovery OF q four-in-one stal
system, one part of which is the
smallest celestial body known out
side the solar system, has been re-
ported to-. the Virginia Academ,
of Sciences here by DR.. Harold L
Alden OF the University OF Virgins
faculty. z
This previously has been known d
faint double star, barely visible
with a high powered telescope in the
far northern heavens about zoe, 600,
600 900 900 ,000, 900 miles away from
the sun. Investigations at the Uni
versity of Virginia observatory show
ed that 1t behaved peculiarly. Both
stars were revolving about the same
center of gravity but also each was
revolving IN a direction opposite
to the other around two separate
centers OF gravity.
When this complexity was re-
solved 1t was determined that each
of the parts also must be double
star. DR.. Alden concluded that the
mass of all four together would be
about that of the sun, but that the
mass of the one invisible body which
could be computed was only about
a tenth that OF the sun.
Planet Theory Discounted.
A natural and sensational inter-
pretation would be that for the
first time outside the solar system
a planet had been discovered. Mass
and distances, however. make this
conclusion impossible, DR.. Alden
said. The body is just barely within
the limits where. like the sun, 1t
would be self luminous. This re-
ouires a certain minimum size In
whcih enormous heats are created
by gravity, which in turn sets into
action the nuclear explosion force
which are responsible for stellar
heat.
While this star has not been seen,
DR.. Alden said, several obseryatories
with powerful telescopes are on the
lookout for it, since its position can
be calculated precisely and Its light
should be. suficient to be discerned
1t is probably one Of millions of
similar objects In the 10000, ,000, 600
star milky way galaxy which have
not been known before because they
have been drowned In the lights OF
their larger companions, he said.
Earth Radiation Recorded.
A mysterious radiation In the
depths OF the earth was reported
by Drs. E. B. Ney and L. B. Snoddy
of the university faculty.
They were making study OF
penetrating power of cosn1ic rays
the still mysterious particles con-
stantly bombarding the earth from
outer space with forces as great as
100 900 900 ,00o, 900 electron volts.
Instruments were set up at various
depths in the Endless Cayerns at
Newmarket, Va, with the expecta-
ton that as the thickness Of rock
above increased the number Of
particles which would be recorded
on various electrical devices woulc
| decrease
| This proved true for about 20 feet
DR.. Snoddy said. But at progressivel!
greater depths the count went vi
again until at 10 feet it was approx
imately half as great as 1t has beer
at the surface. The first assumption
was that this was due to radioactiv,
| atoms in the cave rocks themselves
