The eastern arm Of the Caspian

however. only about TOO feet

Won Seidlitz proposed that 1t be

reducing the surface of the Cas-
plan exposed to evaporation. and
hence arresting the alarmingly
steady lowering of its level.
Before making his recommen-
dations, however, Won Seidlitz
had discovered that Karaboghaz
had two unique characteristics.
First, a one-way current. That

with an almost equally strong
subsurface back-f1ow of cold

Karaboghaz flows into the air.
That is. the rate of evaporation
Is so great that it practically
accounts for the entire volume
of water poured into the Cas-
plan by the Volga. which Is
about two-thirds of the total fed
into that vast sea. Won Seidlitz
also decided that the same fac

for driving the water in its
unique one-way course over the
sandbar at the inlet to Kara

Balloons Tested
From that study began indi-
rectly the work on the winds
Of Russia. Knipowich, still chief

life, quietly pushed the supple

The public was told that the
American Government must do
nothing to ALLEVIATE the masses
of Chinese and other Asiatics. It
was limited" that permitting the
armies of the Nationalists to in
tervene in Korea would cost us
the friendship of India's Prime
Minister, Jawaharla1 Nehru. More
over, such an action would unity
the Chinese people behind their
Communist masters.
These arguments are consid-
cred as fiction by those on the
spot. Their answer is:
So long as the North Koreans
continue to have the necessary
punch and we continue to with
draw. the other Asiatic Reds will
not move. The plan devised by
Russian Col. Gen. w. Shtykov
calls for the complete occupation
Of the peninsula, regardless Of
cost. That is to say. the cam
paign will end only when we are
thrown out of Korea. If we re-
ceive sufficient reinforcements to
thwart this plan and to start a
counteroffensive against the North
Koreans, there is not the slightest
doubt in the minds OF our military
that the Chinese armies will in
tervene.
So long as we are getting licked
they won't move. AS soon as we
start dong the licking they will

Southwick Will Leave
Ga||inger for New Post

Robert D. Southwick, AZ, will
resign as deputy superintendent
of Gallinger Hospital about
March l to become administrator
of a hospital at Concord, N. H.
Mr.. Southwick, who came to
Gallinger in August, 1945, said he
wanted to make it plain he was
leaving because of the fine op-
portunity" offered in development
of the Concord hospital. A S.
100000 expansion project will get
under way there this fall. he said.
Mr.. and Mrs. Southwick and
their four children live on the
Gallinger grounds.
In moving to- Concord, the hos
pital official will go to the home
of former Senator Harold j.
Gallinger, Republican, of New
Hampshire, who was instrumental
in obtaining funds which led to
construction of the municipal
hospital bearing his name. Sena-
tor Gallinger died in 1918.

superintendent, said he did not

ton on charges he raped his
former wife.
Two additional charges of as
sault were placed against him by
Mrs. Ella Gross, from whom he
was divorced a month ago.
Mrs. Gross told Magistrate Reu-
ben Caplan that her husband hit
her in the eye on Christmas Eve.
Monday, she said, he invaded
her apartment, struck her. threw
her in the bath tub, dragged her
to another room and criminally

psychiatrist who examined him
for the prosecution did not go into
his case as thoroughly as the
others.
Not Normal, Brother Says.
From the witness stand, Holo-
ber's brother, Edward Holober of
Takoma Park, testified that the
condemned man never acted like
a normal, average human being"
The death sentence was the first
fixed in Fairfax County since
April, 1927. when Louis Boersig
was sent to the electric chair in
the death of two children.
Trial Fair, Attorney Says.
Defense Attorney Howard, an
swering Holober's pleadings for an
appeal after he had been re-
turned to his cell, told him he had
"a fair trial before what appeared
to be an intelligent jury"
Mr.. Howard said Holober asked
him: But how can they return
such verdict when I'm a schizo-
phrenic and in view of the med
ical testimony"
The attorney said he told the
man there was medical testimony
on both sides" and then told his
mother that any further effort to
save Holober would be wasting
your money"
Holober had at first reported
his wife and daughter missing,
but soon after his arrest he had
confessed the crimes, and later
calmly re-enacted the shooting of
his wife and the burying alive of
his child. An autopsy on Mrs.
Holober revealed she was "six or
eight weeks pregnant" at the time
of death.
He said he drove his wife and
their daughter to the deserted
camp, shot Mrs. Holober in the
back Of the head and then fired
another bullet into her back after
she cried Charlie" The bodies of
the mother and child were found
in grave 18 inches deep.

Miss Pepsi Sets MARI,
But Loses Silver Cup
by si,e Asseeicted Press

DETROIT, Sept. 5.-A chal-
lenger for the title Of worlds
fastest competitive speedpoat ap-
peared on the Detroit River yes
terday.
She was the Detroit owned
Miss Pepsi. Because she cut in
side a course marker the boat lost
the Silver Cup Trophy on points
to Such Crust I, another Detroit
boat. But she turned in a new g.
mile lap marx Of 107.654 miles an
hour and a 10-mile speed Of
107.3s4.
This topped the best competi-
tive mark Of seattle's famed slo-
Mo-Shun, winner of this years
Gold Cup and Harmsworth
trophies. Slo-Mo-Shun set a s.
mile record of 102.676 mph in
the Harmsworth Saturday.
Yesterday Slo-Mo- -shun did 5
miles in 106175 mph. Her speed
for 10 miles was 104.318.
Slo-Mo-Shun and Miss Pepsi
came together only in the first
heat of the Silver Cup. Bearing
trouble forced the Seattle boat
out of the race.
The two boats aren't likely to
meet again before next year
when the Gold Cup and Harms
worth races probably will be run
in Seattle.
Slo-Mo-Shun's owner, Stan
Sayres, said he does not plan to
race the boat in the Presidents
Cup event on the Potomac later
this month. He will take the
Gold Cup and Harmsworth tro-
phies back to Seattle within the
next few days.

Ed Fullerton. highly rated soph-

back to fullback by Coach Jim
Tatum.
He is a solid 185-pounder from
Pittsburgh, Pa, and also is re-
garded as a good passer in addi-
ton to his speed and plunging
ability.
Tatum ran his charges through
two good workouts yesterday and
made several other changes. Much
of the time was spent on passing,
one item in the attack which was
O bit weak last season.
One of the other changes made
was to move Dick Modzelewski, an
offensive guard on last years
freshman team, to defensive
tackle. This year at College Park
Tatum generally has his best line
men on the defensive platoon.
Other shifts were Marvin Kramer
from defensive to offensive guard
and Ed Kensler from tackle to
offensive center. Kramer is a
senior and Kensler a junior.

SHREVEPORT. La, Sept. S.
Although gloomy after absorbing
their sixth straight exhibition

WI. High Strong in BockfieId,
But Center of Line Needs Help
(Another In a Series.)
By Brion Bell, Jr.

Washington-Lee must have few
backfield problems this year If
they don't need an All-High half
back.
Lee Brinson, star ball carrier
at Washington's Wilson last sea-
son. is discussing eligibility prob
lens with school authorities and If
the Virginia Board of Principals
gives the okay he'll play with the
Generals this fall.
But Coach Ken Batson says:
"We really don't need him. I'm
well fixed in the backfield. It's
my line. especially at center, that
needs help"
Batson is quick to add that he's
not turning Brinson down and
will be very pleased to see him in
a blue and white uniform. Lee
was quite a star with the inter-
high champions and should be a
welcome addition to an already
strong backfield.
WI scrimmaged last week and
though the line opened few holes
the backs ran well when they got
a chance. Fullback Dean Hillen-
brand, brother of Bruce, last
years star, showed a lot of drive
and Johnny Herlein got off some
nice runs after taking passes from
Sam Eberdt. Eppie Riddle was
calling the signals while Danny
Hobbs got a workout at tailback
and Bill Leslie, transfer from
Rhode Island, looked good when he
relieved Hillenbrand.
Eberdt Slated to Pass.
Batson looks to Six-foot-one.
200-pound Eberdtsto supply most
of the passes and a lot Of the
power. Eberdt runs hard and is
one of the better schoolboy passers
in the area. George Washington
High still is talking about his
tosses in their game last season.
The Generals were bottled up on
the ground. but Eberdt's passes
were tough to stop.
MY second-string tailback,
Hobbs, is a nice boy to have
around" says Batson. HE re-
minds me of Steve Bagarus-very
shifty and faster than Bagarus.
He's not much of a passer and I'm
thinking about shifting him to
wingback where he can catch
passes from Eberdt and get into the
open that way"
Though the line looked q bit
sluggish in the second scrimmage
last week, If Batson can find an
adequate center he should have a
good forward wall by opening date.
Frequent bad snaps-a few COM
