What are you going to do
with such people?
You remember the story
about Joe the umbrella work.
er that the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers told US
a few weeks ago? Their big
argument was that Joe should
turn out more and more UNI
brellas prices would fall.
Now along comes Mr.. Emer-.
son Schmidt of the United
States Chamber of Commerce
with this argument Joe should
turn out more umbrellas-but,
prices should stay the same.
HERE'S how he puts it:
"Probably the greatest single
cause of labor unrest is this

will not take these matters lightly.
We have a great stockpile of atom
bombs, and you can imagine how
many, millions of you we might
wipe out in order to implement
democracy.
Democracy is very important.
We may have to liberate the whole
world from liberty. I say these
things because apparently you have
no moral sense, and God knows
how many millions of people will
have to be killed to teach them
morality.
And democracy is founded upon
a moral sense. This is especially
important for those of you who
have oil deposits in your lands. Oil
and morality are inseparable.

Story Of Disappearance
OF Man in Cave Called hoa,
By the Assoeioisd Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 10
State Safety Commissioner Lynn
Bomar announced today John T.
(Tuck) Hurn, for whom a weeks
search had been made in Nickajack
Cave at Shellmound, Tenn, had
been located in New York City and
that Mr.. Hurn's reported disap-
pearance in the cavern was "a hoax
from beginning to end"
Mr.. Bomar said John Hurn never
had been lost in the gloomy, bat
infested commercial cave, which
had been searched by the State
Highway Patrol, the Red Cross, Ma
tional Guard, Boy Scouts and scores
of private parties since Mr.. Hurn's
brother reported his disappearance.
Hollis Hurn, who with John is
part owner Of the cave, still insisted
today, however, that he believed
John was lost in the cave when he
first reported his disappearance last
Tuesday.
Mr.. Bomar said that, instead OF
getting lost in many-passaged
miles-deep Nickajack, John Hurn
was driven to Birmingham in an
automobile July l and boarded q
train there the next day for New
York.
The commissioner said a tele-
phone call was received early this
morning from John Hurn in New
vorL on hour offor O cfofapnanf of

Refugee Admissions
By the Assoeiotsd Press

The Right Rev. Msgr. John
.O'Grady said yesterday. the United
States has choice between find
ing homes for share of Europe's
war refugees or turning Europe
over to Communism"
Just back from South American
conferences to open new channels
for resettlement of displaced per-
sons, the secretary Of the National
Conference of Catholic Charities
supported a measure calling for
admission of 100000 refugees to
this country over four-year period.
Appearing before a House judi
ciary Subcommittee, he testified
that "if the United States adopted
a positive policy in admitting some
of the refugees, "it would be the
best inducement to other Amer
lean countries to do likewise"
He said that during five months
in South America he had seen a
very decided change" in attitude
toward admitting displaced persons,
with Brazil planning to take in over
$4,000 in the next year and
Argentina becoming Immigration
minded"
He will leave today to visit the
displaced persons camps in Ger
many.
Assistant Secretary Of Labor
Philip Hannah told the committee
the admission of 100000 refugees
would actually increase our eco
nomic Well-being."

Walter Reed Exposes
Racket in PROMOTING
Benefits for Patients

Concern that Walter Reed Hos
pital patients are being used as an
inducement to sell tickets to the
public for 'phony promotions and
hospital benefit rackets" was voiced
by hospital officials today.
The scheme most often used, q
spokesman said, is for a promoter
to sell tickets for an activity and
suggest" that they be sent to the
hospital for use by disabled service
men. The tickets then begin roll
ing into the hospital in far greater
numbers than can be used, and the
contributor is none the wiser.
The promoter, on the other hand,
is left free to sell an almost un-
limited quantity of tickets, and to
pocket the proceeds. Most often,
the spokesman said, the promoter
gets a reputable organization to
sponsor the affair.
10 Tickets Per Patient.
Some of the most lucrative col
lections are for dinners, dances
and boat rides for hospital pa
tients," the hospital said in q state
ment. "You are told that you may
have the tickets and send it to the
hospital for the use of the patient.
What you are not told is that
10 tickets are being sold for every
patient who can make the trip.
The mysterious stranger has your
money, the nonexistent patient gets
your ticket, and you get a nice let
ter of thanks from the hospital.
After all, your intentions were
good"
Hospital officials stressed that they
do not want to discourage participa-
ton Of patients in community
events, but that they want donors
to be sure their contributions can
be used.
Participation Limited.
Patient participation in any single
recreational activity, they explained,
is limited by the number of service
men on furlough, the number well
enough to leave the hospital, and
the caliber of competitive enter
tainment available at the hospital.
Usual procedure when an organ
ization offers tickets for an activity
is to come to the hospital and make
available the number that can be
used.
"A simple phone call to the hos
pital on the part of the person
being solicited will usually deter
mine whether or not the benefit Is
genuine" the spokesman said.
Another suggestion" he added
"is to pay the money by check SC
as to have a definite record Of the
transaction, and to be able to stop
payment. If the solicitor says he
must have cash, you'd better tell
him to 90 aWay,"

President Truman said today that

He asked reporters questioning

(The Moon Hoax, which has

Resfaurateur SOUGHT
In Trunk Staying Of
Wife. in California
By the kssoeioted Press

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calf, July
1O.-Policc were searching today for
Morley v. King, San Luis Obispo
restaurant operator whose wife was
found slain In q trunk here yester-
day.
Sheriff Murray G. Halfway said
the body had been positively iden-
titled as that of Mrs. Helen King,
formerly Of Pacoima, Los Angeles
suburb. Identification was made
through dental bridgework and
through personal affects found with
the corpse.
King, sought for questioning, has
been missing since 3 am. Tuesday.
Kings automobile also is gone, the
sheriff said.
Woman Dead for Week.
The wolnan's body was found yes
terday in a trunk which had been
pushed-apparently hastily-under
the annex of a hotel where King
operated his restaurant.
Acting County Coroner Fred Wat
,ers estimated she had been dead
about a week and that she had been
strangled by a killer who used a
mans scarf for the purpose.
Investigating officers here said
Jthey learned the woman had been
in San Luis Obispo from to 10
days. This discounted previous
theory she might have been killed
elsewhere and that the body was
concealed in the trunk and brought
here.
Left Pacoima June 80.
Pacoima neighbors Of Mrs. King
told Los Angeles newsmen that she
had left there for San Luis Obispo
last June 80 with her husband-a
week after she sold their Pacoima
home.
Mrs. John r. Harrison of Pacoima
was quoted in Los Angeles dis
patches as having said Mrs. King
lived with her q week after selling
the home and, in the meantime, re-
ceived affectionate letters from
King.
She added Mrs. King told her she
was q native of New Orleans, had
been educated in France and, during
World War I, married a French
count who later was killed In battle.
She lived in Pacoima about six
months.
Moved From New Orleans.
Another neighbor, Mrs. Belle Ne
grette, said Mrs. King and her hus-
band came to Pacoima early this
year from New Orleans, where they
sold a restaurant they had operated.
Mrs. Negrette said Mrs. King told
her she married King while he was
In the merchant marine. The for
mer added that Mrs. King spoke
several languages and had Travelled
extensively in Europe, including
Russia, as an interpreter.
Police said King had worked for
q time In Hollywood and Van Nuys
