Mathematician and Pal Run
|$3OOUp to $4,000 at Roulette

Calf, and Albert Hibbs, IS, Chilli
cothe, Ohio, have been winning fair
ly consistently by playing number
8 exclusively. Their bets on the
number vary. That part of their
system is secret.
Walford and Hibbs, who said they
figured out their method while
studying at Chicago-Hibbs holds q
masters degree in mathematics
have been playing steadily for two
weeks each, taking turns at the
table in 8-hour shifts. At one point
their winnings reached $1,000, but
this was trimmed by one streak of
81 consecutive losses.
Ray Smith, manager of Harold S
Club, where they played yesterday,
said their system had him baf1ed.
Smith said he would not interrupt
their gambling unless their winnings
hit somewhere around the $4,000
mark"
Walford and Hibbs started at the
Palace Club, but the house closed up
the wheel when they ran $500 to
about $4,000. They then moved ever
to Harold's Club, still playing No.
10. The original bet was 50 and they
gradually increased their bets when
winning.
In San Diego, Walford's mother,
Mrs. Jean Walford, expressed
amazement at the winnings of her
son, who was known as "the Brain"
at San Diego high school.
I'm sure he's never gambled be-
FORE" she said. "He was always
such a studious and serious chap"
She added that il Mr.. Walford
kept up the good work well move
the family up there to Reno with
him."

No Airmen Slaves

The Army this week reported Is
months search of desolate, mountain
Gus Lololand proved conclusively that
no downed American airmen were en-
slaved by primitive tribesmen in far
western China.
American officers, disguise d as
priests, covered thousands of square
miles in the wildly rugged China-Tibet
border region and lived for months
with mountain tribesmen in mud huts.
American Graves R e IS tr a t i n
search teams found slavery general
practice, with Chinese seized in raids
on loWland villages being forced to
tend herds and grind corn while their
masters fought with other tribes.
They said the Lolos, instead of being
wild savage people as described in
earlier reports, were kind and coopera-
tive once their trust had been gained.
Some authorities claim the Lolos are
Of Caucasian blood. 1t is known they
retreated to the wilds centuries ago to
escape Chinese rule.
The long search was inspired by
rumors that American airmen forced
down while flying the Hump from
India were being held captive. One
Chinese priest reported t hat Mon
golian horse ira ders had seen an
American tending sheep for a Lolo
tribe.

NATION: A General Scandal

retired, wartime chief of the Army
Air Forces, denounced Meyers as hav-
ing, on the evidence, "disgraced his
uniform and his rank" He told the
committee; eff to our regret we of
the Air Forces did not find rotten
apple in the barrel, we are grateful
that others have done so.'
Meyers denied profiting personally
from the plane parts company, de-
claring he set it up to help out his
"girl friend" Mrs Mildred Lamarre, a
former secretary. Lamarre called him
a "snake" and his wife threatened a
suit for SANDER.
Meanwhile the Senate Banking Com
mitteeA announced it would investl-
gate the practice (admitted by Meyers)
of buying war fonds on margin. Sen.
Charles w. Tobey GRIND said there
were many Observation-Disclosures, cor
porations and even banks" - whose
idle cash went "joy riding" on war
time government bonds.

Rotten Apple in the Barrel


The two-month-old us. Air Force
was rocked this week by consequence
of the Senate War Investigating sub
committee probe into wartime avia-
ton contracts.
Maj. Gen. Bennett E. Meyers, former
deputy purchasing chief for the Army
Air Corps, was stripped of his $549
monthly pension his Distinguished
Service Medal and Legion of Merit.
w. Stuart Symington, secretary of
the new Air Force, described as zone
of the most shocking scandals ever ex-
posed in the history of our govern
ment" the testimony that Gen. Meyers
took $150,000 in profits from Dayton,
Ohio, aircraft parts plant.
Symington disclosed the Air Force
is setting up a new purchasing sys-
tenn which will reduce to an absolute
minimum the chance of any disgrace
full occurrence ever happening again"
Symington said the Air Force re-
fused to intervene on October IL
when Meyers, retired on disability in
1945, demanded a court martial to
keep his name from being smeared
across the nation by Sen. Ferguson"
He said Meyers then complained he
had received no cooperation whatever
from the. Air Force in his troubles,
adding that his testimony would have
to bring in 'lot of important people,"
The implied threat was obvious, said
Symington, but nothing turned up by
the committee points "even the finger
of suspicion at any other officer"

GI Bill Of Rights

More than 100000 veterans-al-
most half the World War II group
have applied for educational or train
ing benefits since the aid system was
established in April, 1943, but only
4,670,OOO actually enrolled, the Veter-
ans Administration reported this week.
Of the enrolled group, Sc per cent
are still participating. Only $4,000
have exhausted the benefits to which
they were entitled.
Veterans wishing to enter govern
ment-aided school or job-trainlng
courses must do so by July, 1851, or
within four years of their date OF dis
charge. The maximum training IS four
years.
The program ends July 25, 1856, ex-
cept for enlistees under the Armed
Forces Volunteer Recruitment Act OF
1945, who have until nine years from
the end of enlistment.

business charts were dotted
- with new productive records
this week as lawmakers in Wash
ington delved deeper into prob
lens of relief for Europe and
imitation at home. Improvement
in almost every major industry was
noted, including such basic lines as
retail trade, steel, automobiles and
electric power.
The already high level of employ
ment was boosted further with tenn
porary workers to handle the Christ
mas rush.
The cost of living was soaring too.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics re-
ported its basic index of living costs
hit new high in September, 66.1 per
cent above the August 1889 levels.
Food prices in the index were listed
at 203.5 per cert of the 1859 aver
age.
Foreign Aid
Meanwhile, different House and
Senate versions of the stop-gap for
eign aid bill appeared headed for con-
ference between the two legislative
branches. Little opposition developed
in the Senate to the administration
figure of $597, 100000 for France, Italy
and Austria, but the House Foreign
Affairs Committee cut $108,000,000
from it and added $6O,0OG,0O0 to help
China.
Neither the Senate bill nor the
Presidents request included any sum
for China. Secretary of State Mar
shall, in explaining the European aid
program to Congress, recommended
$60,000,000 for China before July l,
but it was to be authorized after the
emergency aid for Europe.
Sen Arthur Vandenberg (R-Mich),
opening debate on the Senate floor,
warned that Congress must act quick
ly to block Communist 'wrecking
crews" working to kill western Eu-
ropes hope fol recovery.
Sen. Styles Bridges (R-NH) de-
clared there is no question but that
this country has enough grain to re-
lieve the emergency in France, Italy
and Austria. The question is, he said,
whether this country can fill that
need and still meet other foreign COM
mitments
"We will be misled indeed if we
confuse our dollars with our true
wealth." Bridges said. There is a real
limit to our resources. If this nation,
thinking in money terms, over-com-
mits itself to supplying actual goods,
there literally will be money to burn,
because our dollars will be as plenti-
full and as worthless as those of any
nation suffering imitation"

Two Foolish Peoples

DR.. Harold c. Urey, American atomic
physicist on lecture tour of Sweden,
said this week in Stockholm that the
United States will maintain monop-
oily on the atom bomb "at least until
next fall but after that Russia may
have the weapon.
There are only two foolish peoples
in the world - Americans and Rus
sians," he said, for they are making
and intend to make atom bombs and
they think themselves powerful"
DR.. Urey declared there is no ade-
quate defense against the A-bomb but
political one There should be
world government with powers frorn
which there is no appeal" he said,
adding that such government will
come ultimately either before OF after
the next war"
Meanwhile Alabama Polytechnic
Institute began plans for the first ma
tional conference to study agricultural
applications of atomic energy. More
than 300 agricultural scientists from
all parts of the nation will gather De-
cember 18 at Auburn for a three-day
meeting. One of the speakers will be

Man Versus Insects
In Washington, the Department of
Agriculture announced its scientists
had cleared the first hurdle in a
search for ways to make mans blood
kill any insect that bites him.
In experiments, scientists have sue
cessfully fed insecticides to rabbits in
doses so small that the poisons cause
no detachable harm to the animals yet
killed the yellow fever mosquitoes and
body lice that sucked their blood.
Experts say it may be possible to
