Divorce Case Raises
Question of Conclusive
Paternity Blood TEST

Whether there is a conclusive
blood test in paternity cases is
a problem facing a District Court
judge today.
The question arose yesterday
In a divorce case in which a
Washington man. who said he is
sterile, denied paternity of his
wtfe'S daughter, 10.
James E. Cross, 40, a druggist
OF 1914 Brothers place Sc, was
backed in his claim by a blood
specialist who testified that as a
result of precise and conclusive"
tests involving the Rh blood fac
tor Mr.. Cross was excluded as
the father.
DR.. Oscar B. Hunter, jr., as
serted fatty that by comparing
blood samples of the wife, hus-
band and child he found that
MIR. Cross could not possibly"
have been the father.
Case Under Amusement.
THE Rh test cannot determine
who Is the parent of a child, but
1t can exclude certain individuals
as possible parents of that child"
DR.. Hunter said. 80
He conceded that four other
. blood tests he made on the three
samples showed that Mr.. Cross
could have fathered the child of
his now-estranged wife, Louise, "a,
OF the first block of Eighteenth
street Sc.
Judge Matthew MCGUIRE took
the case under advisement after
questioning Dr.. Hunter closely on
the conclusiveneSS of the Rh test.
Only once before has the issue
arisen here. That was in 1910 in
the United States Court of Ap-
peals. But then, while the court
acknowledged that certain blood
tests are conclusive, it added the
qualifying phrase 'in a great
many cases."
Only Precedent Cited.
Judge Mcguire had ordered the
blood tests on Mr.. Cross request.
He expressed doubt of their con-
clusiveneSs, however, when Attor-
ney John Alexander, representing
the husband, cited the Appeals
Court decision as the only prece-
dent.
Mrs. Cross filed her divorce suit
in l947, charging that Mr.. Cross
deserted her in 1943. She seeks
custody and support of her daugh-
ter. Her husband countered with
suit of his own charging that
Mrs. Cross deserted him about the
same time in 1943.
He declared he was not the
father of Mrs. Cross child. since
he allegedly was not living with
his wife during the year before
the child's birth. Mr.. Cross also
pointed out that he had sued his
wife in November, 1899. shortly
after the child was born, charg-
ing adultery. But he later
dropped this suit after a recon-
ciliation.
Attorney James E. Holloman
represents Mrs. Cross.

Trygve Lie Asks End
To Cold War, Urges
New Peace Efforts
By the ASsoeioted Press

GENEVA, Switzerland, May g.
United Nations Secretary General
Trygve Lie declared today the
time has come for all believers
in peace "to join in new efforts
to bring the cold war to an end. u
In an address marking the
opening of the third World Health
Organization assembly here Mr.
Lie declared:
"It must be admitted that i'm
mediate prospects tfor ending the
cold war; do not seem encour-
aging. Nevertheless, we should
not delay the search for a way
out OF the present impasse."
Mr.. Lie, who leaves for Moscow
Wednesday on a "Save-the-U m
mission, declared the United
Nations and its special agencies
"are founded upon the principle
that lasting world peace can only
be achieved and maintained by
world organization"
Specifically" he said, I'VE be-
lieve that it is essential to the
future of both the United Nations
and the specialized agencies that
the present political deadlock in
the United Nations be resolved at
the earliest possible moment.
"Time, Patience Required"
Undoubtedly, it will take time
and patience and much explora-
ton to bring about a reduction OF
tensions and to set the world once
more on the United Nations road
to peace"
Commenting on the U. N. pro-
gram for economic development,
Mr.. Lie said "a United Nations
program to raise living standards
can and should be planned and
carried out on a non-political
basis j.. . for the benefit of all
humanity, without regard for the
cold war;" He added:
IF our program Of technical
assistance for economic develop
ment can be expanded and applied
to meet needs wherever they exist
believe it can also make a sub
stantial contribution toward re-
ducing the tensions of the cold wal
and enlarging the area of common

Our arrival in Japan was on the
spectacular side. With the four big
engines of our Boeing Strato-
cruiser drawing nearly maximum
power. we thundered down across
the Haneda Airport outside Tokyo
at 400 miles an hour; then pulled
up to 800 feet and circled the city,
passing directly over the Imperial
Palace. before swinging back in
for smooth, fast landing % fly
ing hours out of San Francisco.
A General Headquarters trans
port unit of the United States
Army met us at the airport with
olive-drab sedans, all spit and
polish. and drove us directly to
the Kanko Hotel, which had
served as hospital during the
war and prior to that was one of
the best-known geisha houses in
Japan.
Tokyo street traffic follows a
Keep to the left" pattern, as in
England, over highways rough
enough to discourage driving
faster than the 30-mile speed
limit.
Automobile traffic is light, con-

Accommodations Limited-Hous-

very limited. Civilian visitors must
make hotel reservations we'll in
advance. Typhoid inoculations are

water. and many japanese foods,
are not safe when acquired outside

The Kanko Hotel is situated on

good. I rode to the fifth and top
floor in an diversified, slow-moving
elevator decorated with bright
lacquer flowers and inlaid mother
of-pearl. My room was modern
istically furnished and large case
ment windows formed the outside
wall, overlooking the city.
There was an American-food
menu as we'll as japanese. There
was also Saki and bottled Danish
beer, in addition to the better
brands of bourbon and scotch, al
about so per cent less than in the

In the modern downtown area
near the Imperial Palace there are
many steel and concrete struc-
lures. but the large majority of
the million Japanese in Tokyo
live and work in one and two
story f1imsy. wooden buildings.
Behind these crowded blocks of
houses and shops are open ditch
drainage canals for sewage and
f1re-f1ghting purposes. More than
half Of these unpainted shacklike
structures were put up after the
final raids of our B-29s in 1945.
when fire destroyed great areas of
the city.
Transportation in Tokyo Is diff
f1cult. United States military and
civilian personnel. however, are
much better off than the natives
because they can use their own
personal cars or American mill
tary bus transportation. Only a
very few japanese in Tokyo own
automobiles.
Some taxis are available. but
most Japanese cannot afford
them. The battered streetcars and
broken-down public buses are
overcrowded and even the bicycle
rickshas are in constant demand.
Consequently, more people are
forced to walk today in Tokyo
than in any other world capital.
A typical street scene in Tokyo
is conglomerate and colorful
