WASHINGTON, (P) - Thomas Pryor Gore, 78, three-term Sena- tor and successful lawyer though he had been blind since childhood, died at his home here today. He suffered a stroke last Sunday.

 He served two terms, ending in 1921, and came back for a third ending Jan. 1, 1897.

Army Completes 2l,5OO-Mile Test Of Trucks

ABERDEEN, Md, (H) "A IA truck army convoy known as "Op- eration Greaseball" pulled into Aberdeen proving ground yester- day, the end of a 21,500-mile test journey.
 The trucks had been driven through desert and cold in 20 states and Alaska in order to test six new types of engine lubricants and three types of tires. They left Aberdeen last Aug. 2, piloted by four officers and 24 enlisted men whom, the army said, volunteered for the trip.
 Now the army will take the trucks apart in an effort to deter mine which of the lubricants and tires would be most efficient for use in any part of the world, whe- ther it be desert, the tropics or the Arctic.
 The convoy conducted it's first test at Desert Center, Calf. There the trucks were driven 5000 miles through the sand and intense heat which reached l15 degrees.
 From there, it travelled to Fair banks, Alaska, where the trucks were driven over the entire Alas kan peninsula as far as terrain permitted. During the { hr e e months in Alaska, the convoy drove an average of 5000 miles per vehicle in temperatures as low as 65 degrees below.
 On the Alaskan part of the jorney, two types of new heaters weer also tested, one to facilitate the starting of cold engines and the other to heat truck cabs.

National Guard To Waive Eligibility Reuirements

The National Guard Bureau has agreed to waive certain eligibility requirements for enlistment in the two proposed Scout Battalions of the Alaska National Guard in or der to fully utilize the manpower capabilities of the native popula- ton, according to word received at Fort Richardson.
 Considered highly important to the formation of the native units, the announcement was made by Maj. Gen. Stanley L. Scott, Com manding U. S. Army, Alaska, who is charged with training and equipping the units.
 The new maximum age limit for Eskimos and AleutS on an or iginal enlistment will now be 45 years instead of 35, and natives inability to read or write will not prevent his enlistment and mem bership in the Guard.
 The plan to establish the two Scout Battalions in the smaller towns in western and northern parts of Alaska, both along the coasts and in some of the interior communities up the rivers, al ready has Federal approval. The Army hopes also for the establish ment of two infantry battalions in the larger towns, although enabl- ing legislation by the Territorial legislature is a prerequisite of either type unit.
 ! General Scott has already point ed out the value of the National 1 Guard will have in aiding the de- | fense of the Territory. He stated that steps have been taken tc equip the Scout units immediately upon their organization, and that he has asked the Department of the Army to assign unit instruc- tors at once in order that planning for training activity may start soon.
 Preliminary surveys by It. Col J. D. Alexander, Officer in Charge of National Guard Affairs in Alas ka, have indiacted that there is sufficient interested personnel in Alaska to form the Guard units proposed.

 'I loved him inside, but how could I show it. It was such a tor ture, such a shame, such a dis grace"
 Answering police reports that the boy couldn't distinguish the things common to every child even an orange-because he had never seen them before, Mrs. Sul- livan said:
 Every day we had fruit and the best of food we could afford
 The mother pleaded guilty in district court to a charge of ne- glect. She told of the boys con- ception and birth during a separa- ton from her husband.
