Two types were tested, one 7 feet

The ram jets were tried on the

Pneumonia Epidemic Feared.
DR.. I. Hope Alexander, Pittsburgh

IT know from long experience in
Pittsburgh that whenever we have a
continuous dense fog we always had
a number of acute respiratory In
fections," DR.. Alexander said after
making a personal investigation Of
the town.
DR.. Alexander said most of the
deaths had occurred within two
or three blocks Of the zinc smelter
plant, which he said emitted acid
fumes.
The gas is of a very toxic variety
and had been escaping for years, "
DR.. Alexander explained, but be-
cause fog had not tied it down, 1t
didn't cause any Illness
A compeny spokesman said that
the operations of the plant had not
changed in 80 years and added,
But I never have seen such smog
as the last few days either"
During the height of the crisis
the telephone company reported
delays up to six hours on calls in

Later a note was found on .
table near the chair where MIR.
Wimberly sat in the kitchen. It was
dated 430 am, June q and was

Mr.. Wimberly told Ronnie he was
sorry to leave him, but he believed
it best. He told his son to say good
by to the others and informed him
that "all my things are yours"
The boy should tell his mother
the bank was holding . note, but
that the insurance :, money would

the filling station where he was
working and tell them he would
not be there any more. The station
was on Georgia avenue near Grif-

Tall1nl Will Take
Oath as Judge
Ear|yNext Week
fBI Official to Serve
On D. G. Bench Under
Recess Appointment

Edward A. Tamm, named by Presi-
dent Truman for a recess appoint
ment as an associate justice of
District Court, said today he will be
sworn in early next week, possibly
Monday.
Mr.. Tamm, now assistant to the
director of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, said he would confer
this afternoon with Chief Justice
Bolitha Laws of District Court ito
see what his wishes are"
The recess appointment an
nounced last night, is good for
not more than 80 days after the new
session Of Congress convenes. Mr..
Tamm's nomination then would
have to be re-submitted to the Sen
ate If he is to continue on the bench.
President Truman nominated Mr.
Tamm for the District Court post
several months ago to succeed
Justice James M. Proctor after the
latter was elevated to the Court of
Appeals. The Senate failed to con-
firm the Tamm nomination after
it was opposed by the District Bar
Association. A Senate Judiciary sub
committee reported favorably on the
nomination but the entire commit
tee failed to act.
Other Appointments Made.
The President used his authority
to make interim appointments be-
tween sessions of Congress to name
Mr.. Tamm to the bench yesterday.
Other recess appointments an
nounced at the same time included !:
James Boyd of Colorado as direc-
tor of the Bureau OF Mines, job
he has been filling on previous
interim appointments since August
26, 1947.
Roy w. Harper to continue serv-
ing as Federal district judge for
the eastern and western districts
of Missouri.
Byron B. Harlan of Ohio to be, a
judge of the United States Tax
Court for a 12-year term starting
as Of June 2, 1948.
Marion J. Harron of California
to be d Judge of the Tax Court
for an identical term.
Paul P. Rao of New York to be a
judge of the United States Customs
Court.
Back Salary Due Boyd.
Mr.. Boyd said he was not sure he
could afford" to accept his ap-
pointment. The Senate did not con-
firm his nomination during the 1947
session. The President gave him his
second interim appointment last
December 19. 1t also failed Of con-
firmation.
The result is that Mr.. Boyd has not
been paid since December 10, and
now figures the Government owes
him 5000 in back salary which may
take special legislation to collect.
Judge Harper's nomination also
failed of confirmation at the last
two sessions of Congress. A sub
committee approved the nomination
several weeks ago but the full Sen
ate Judiciary Committee and the
Senate did not act.
