Senator Williams Hits
Congress for Allowing
BARGAIN Sales in Ships

Congressional moves for investi-
cation of surplus ship sales had
help today from Senator Williams,
Republican, of Delaware, who
blamed Congress itself for allow
ing ''ridiculously low bargain
prices"
The Delaware Senator, equipped
with huge charts and other data
compiled by the Maritime Admin
iStration, told the Senate yester-
day that the Government since
1916 has sold 1856 ships as sur
plus at a loss of more than $2.8
billion.
"Played for a Sucker"
Asserting that the American
taxpayer has been "played for a
sucker" in bargain sales of mer-
chant ships built at Government
expense, Senator Williams added:
But it would be foolish to
recklesSly accuse the purchasers
of surplus ships of defrauding the
Government. The responsibility
for these ships having been sold
at ridiculously low bargain prices
rests squarely upon the members
of Congress who voted for the
authorization and the President
of the United States who rec
commended it,
Chairman johnson of the Sen
ate Interstate Commerce Commit
tee, of which Senator Williams is
a member, commented that the
ships listed by the Delaware Sen
ator were built for war use and
needed extensive reconversion by
private purchasers.
Senator johnson said, however,
he agreed that the Government
used ''bad judgment" in instances
such as the $4,000 scale of a
vessel which now could be used
as troopship.
Asks Study of Program.
Senator Williams called for a
congressional ''eyaluation" of the
present program to rebuild the
merchant marine and of past
legislation by which Congress fixed
sales prices and authorized sales
of surplus ships.
The material presented by Sen
ator Williams may have some
bearing on evidence obtained in
the Fulbright subcommittee in
vestigation of the Reconstruction
Finance Corp. That subcommit-
tee has turned over to the Senate
Expenditures Investigating Sub
committee the information it dis
closed concerning big profits by
some private individuals in sur
plus ship deals.

Prosecutor Drops Child Cruelty Case

The Government today dropped
IA crulety-to-children assault
charge against Emory Wilbur
Frazier, 10. in connection with the
alleged beating of a 2-year-ol6
girl two weeks ago.
The case was mol pressed after
la brief hearing in the Office OF
Assistant United States Attorney
William Bryant.
Mr.. Frazier, an apprentice
plumber who lives in the 500
block of Third street NE, had
been charged with beating Linda
Susan Hildreth about the legs and
buttocks with a belt when she
baked at eating. The child had
been left in his care by Linda's
parents, Air Force Pvt. Earl Hill
dreth and his then-estranged wife
Martha.
In today's hearing, Mr.. Bryant
said, he had discussed the entire
case with Linda's parents and the
defendant.
Pfc. Hildreth, he said, proved
unwilling to press the charge,
saying he relaxed his child was a
reluctant eater, and was satisfied
that the defendant intended only
to discipline her. Mr.. Frazier has
a three-month-old girl Of his own.

Natures Children
By LilIion Cox Athey
RhinoceroS Yiner.

The most beautiful combination
of colors in the world are worn by
the rhinoceros viper, a poisonous
snake. The stout body has ground
color of rich olive. The blush head
is decorated with black dots, in
the center is a sooty arrow blotch
pointing forward. the horns are
yellow.
When the viper sheds his old skin.
his new colors resemble bright but
terf1ies, some framed in narrow
lines Of black or blue. The entire
upper surface presents an effect of
variegated velvet. There is a pale
blue row of nicked oblong blotches
on the back, each traversed by an
orange-yellow band. The lovely
blue oblongs are set in jet-black
rhombs and these are bordered in
dark carmine. On the sides are
large upright, ruddy brown tri-
angles, bordered with dull carmine
merged with a narrow line of black,
then pale blue.
Africa is the headquarters of the
true vipers. some are slender
bodied with a prehensile tail, al
together arboreal. The rhinoceros
viper is provided with two long and
often several smaller horns on the
snout. The effect is striking and
awesome. The body scales are
coarsely keeled and with many of
the old specimens the keels are
spiny points. A shed skin is q
prize, though the bristling scales
can cause scratches. Owing to its
semi-aquatic habits this viper is
known as River Jack and avoided.
In crawling, when the muscles of
the lower sides are in play, carry
ing the skin forward and backward,
you get the idea of a giant cater
pillar. In cage, when the animal
is coiled, it appears like a night
mare or an artificial thing. These
.vipers reach a length of 4 feet. Near
shedding time the outside colors are
dull. Afterward the colors are bril-
liant.
The most hideously ugly viper in
contrast to the rhinoceros is the
|gaboon whose range is tropical
Africa from Liberia to Damaraland
and eastward to the east coast. It
has silvery white eyes and a CLASSY
stare. There is specimen at the
San Diego Zoo.
Artists who have studied the rich
colors of the rhinoceros viper say
no other creature wears such ex-
quisite colorS or combination of
them.
