Germ War Inquiry Asked

TORONTO, Ont, Aug. Am
impartial investigation of Com

Nations have resorted to germ
warfare in Korea was asked today
by the Red Cross.
A resolution adopted at the 18th
International Red Cross Confer
ence here asked "the governments
concerned to submit those charges
to investigation on a commonly
agreed basis"
The resolution in effect means
the Red Cross itself would not in

The Red Cross has been under at
tack by Communist delegations
which charge it is neither impair
tial nor a true international body

Not Just Nonsense

ST. LOUIS. Take it from Ar
thur A. Rausch, assistant wealth.
erman here. ''the oldtime sailors
and farmers who made up those
weather rhymes knew what they
were talking about in a surpris.
ing number Of cases."
This one, for example: "If
clouds be bright it will clear to-
night, II clouds be dark twill rain
do you hark?" This rhyme worked
out perfectly, Rausch says. in two
early July forecasts here by SUBJ
stituting cumulus clouds fol
bright" and strato cumulus fol-
dark"
Here's another: "Rainbows al
night, sailors delight: rainbow in
morning. sailor take warning. .
This one is generally true, Rausch
says, since rainbows indicate
which way bad weather is moving
Rausch says even the one about
hurting corns meaning rain has
validity. Atmospheric pressure
changes cause some persons corns
to act up.

Gov. Stevenson himself takes
little public notice of his fore
bears, but his former wife once
remarked about other members Of
the family:

encompasses many religious
