poration not only filed publicly for a patent, but also proceeded to apply for patents in Japan Germany, and other foreign coun- tries. This was in 1888 at time when Hitler had already taken Austria and Czechoslovakia and when every intelligent observer knew war was inevitable.
 Meanwhile RIGA asked the Army whether the radar inventions were still secret and was informed that they were.
 In it's answer, March 3, 1888, the Signal Corps Laboratories declar- ed: While employed at SCL MT. Hershberger prepared memoran- dunn on Nov. g, 1883, disclosing the principles of meSlod for To- eating a metal object by means of reflected radio waves It indicates that MT. Hershberger was cognizant of such operation as early as 1883.
 "Mr hershbergers notebook page 31, dated June 27, 1886, shows a circuit for producing voltage inn pulses which was applied (A detailed description followsl. In any event this invention should be classified as secret.
 "As indicated in the detailed descriptions above, it appears that patent applications RCV-D-5293, RCV-5591 and 5709 consist largely of work done by MT. Hershberger while at these laboratories or work done by other personnel eith- CT at these laboratories or at the Naval Research Laboratory at Bellevue to the results of which he had access. These three pat ents should be kept in a secret category until such time as the entire Project 12-F (Radar is re- moved from this classification"

RIGA HEAD GETS REWARD

However, RIGA deliberately flout- ed the Signal Corps secrecy order by filing for patents in Germany Japan and the rest of the world Meanwhile nothing was done either to prosecute or collect damages from RCA. On the contrary, David Sarnoff, head of the radio corpor- ation was actually commissioned as brigadier general Can you ina zine what would happen to an en- listed man who revealed a secret to the enemy or even fell asleep on guard duty? He would probably be in Leavenworth yet.
 MT. Sarnoff, on the other hand, was made a brigadier general.
 After the war. however, certain people in the Justice Department and the Signal Corps dusted off the case and started to prepare a suit against RIGA.
 But suddenly it was called off. It was called off about the time Gen. Harry Ingles resigned as head of the Signal Corps, March 3l, l947, in order to take an impor- tant job with RIGA. General IngIes became president of the RIGA In- stitute Inc.

Infra-Red Rays Aid Study Of Mars

Mcdonald Observatory, Fort Davie, Tex. (P)-The green spots on Mars may be some lower form of plant life.
 But they are not plants like the earth's trees and grass.
 Astronomers at Mcdonald. Ob- servatory failed to give a flat ans Wer to the intriguing question of whether there is life on Mars but Dr. Gerard P. Kuiper, director of the observatory, listed several known factors for and against the possibility.
 For:
 1. There is some water.
 ?. The temperatures are not too cold.
 Against:
 So far, it appears the deadly ul- tra violet rays of the sun would kill any form of plant growth.
 The observations have been aid ed by use of a new infra-red spec trometer which was not available until the end of the war.
 The conclusion that the green spots are neither seed plants nor ferns-the two highest forms of plant life-was reached by com pairing infra-red photographs of such earth plants with those of the verdant areas of Mars, Dr. Kuiper explained.

Six Perish As Home Burns

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (P - Six persons in one family four of them children-perished early to- day when flames swept their l6- room house on fashionable Brew Ster street:
 The only one to escape as flames ragged through the rambling three story wooden house was the fam fly maid, Edna Roper, 29. She was injured critically, firemen said, when she apparently toppled through a second story window in trying to open it.
 At least a dozen firemen and the departments fire chaplain the Rev. Thomas Tierney-were overcome attempting to rescue the trapped family
 The whole inside of the house was a roaring inferno before the firemen got there, deputy chief Henry Kilfoyle said.

Planning February party? Well, whatever the occasion, the refreshments alWays seem to be the major concern. I've discovered that I can save myself last minute worry and work and really enjoy my parties by carefully planning ahead of time. In fact, l always fix my special candies and sand wiches early in the morning, then wrap each one carefully in waxed paper, and they're just as fresh at night as if l had just made them! Waxed paper, you know, holds the moisture of your bread and in- sures the freshness for hours.
 thought you might like a few suggestions for those February party menus and decorations:
 For a washington's Birthday
 Party. fix patriotic sandwiches in
 red. white and blue. Fill them
 with minced ham for the red.
 grape jelly for the blue. Wrap in-
 dividual packets of three in waxed
 paper and serve them that way
 you won't even need plates:
 For real fun for young or old
 make horoscope cakes - indivi-
 dual servings cut in stars or zo-
 diac signs. When baked, slit the
 top of each and insert little waxed
 paper envelopes containing good
 luck charms and fortune rhymes.
 Try these ideas with other party motifs. You'll find it's worlds of fun and easy, too-and that handy roll of waxed paper goes to a par ty just as conveniently as it works in your kitchen!

Sailor Transferred
 From Ship To Ship

SEATTLE, (P) - The port of embarkation said today that no further word has been received on the condition of a 25-year-old Fri day harbor seaman transferred Saturday night from one army transport to another for medical attention.
 The seaman, James C. King, was transferred from the trans port Sergt. Truman Kimbro to the transport Gen. Nelson M. Walker, both en route to Yokohama, in rough seas about 750 miles north west of Seattle.
 King, believed suffering from an appendicitis attack, had been given emergency aid by fellow crew members on radioed instruc- tions from a physician aboard the Walker. After the transfer, the physician indicated an operation might not be necessary.

it happen that these slaves, after

the (slave) raids"
Now, in the first place, such
Ethiopian officials, if they existed
would make themselves liable, un-
der Ethiopian law, to the severe
penalties, including death, for con-
niving in slave dealing, as is called
for in the Ethiopian decree men,
toned above. Secondly, Nh. Vey-
sey does not seem to realize that
Ethiopia is an independent and
sovereign state and a charter
member Of the United Nations.

as much legal right to search the
homes of Ethiopian officials as

he had been wide awake and had
the desire to enlightenhimself and
his readers with the actual facts,
he would have been able easily
to learn:
That one of the greatest hu-

Halle Selassie has been his ener-
getic and determined wiping out
of slavery. In 1924 and in 1881
he issued severe DEGREES against
the slavery evil and in 1912 issued
his most sweeping decree. This
last decree proclaimed that "The
legal status Of slavery is abol-

severe penalties, including the
death penalty. Proclamation of

Indiana COP. 10 Vote
Secretly Convention
In Test Of Reform Law
BY the kssociafsd Press

INDIANAPOLIS, June 11.-Indi-
ana Republicans today will test the
States new convention reform law
under which delegates vote secretly
and individually as they nominate
their party's candidates for State
Offices.
Under the old system each county
chairman polled his delegation and
reported the vote. The chairman
usually has a pocketful of proxies
and welded considerable power.
Naming of candidate for gov
ernor will be the payof on a bitter
four-way campaign. Candidates are
A. v. Burch, State auditor; Hobart
Creighton, speaker of State House
of Representatives; Walter Helmke,
Fort Wayne lawyer, and Senator
Jenner.
The convention also will choose
nominees for 10 minor State Offices,
adopt a platform and ratify seven
unopposed candidates for delegates
at large to the national convention.
Delegations from II congressional
districts each chose two national
convention delegates at caucuses
last night. There was dispute in
the 11th district 1ndianapolis)
meeting, and the National Conven-
ton Credentials Committee may
have to decide which of two pairs of
delegates are to be seated.
National convention delegates are
expected to be pledged to Majority
Leader Halleck as an Indiana favo-
Yite son.
Philip Willkie, son of the late
Wendell Willkie. 1910 Republican
presidential nominees, was named
by the 10th district as alternate del
egate to the national convention.
