Thieves Smash
Window And Take
Il Diamond Rings

Marysville police are still
searching for a clue which they
hope will lead to the identity of
the thief or thieves who broke out
the window of the Dawson Jewel
ry Store and made way with one
lot of jewelry valued at more
than $4,000.
1t was thought to be one of the
biggest and most daring robberies
ever staged in Marysville. The
loot obtained was number of
diamond rings which were on dis
play in the window. After knock
ing a hole in the window it was
easy for the thief to scoop up
the rings and make way with
them. A total of 81 rings were
reported taken, the largest was
said to be so point stone valued
at $500.
The robbery was reported by a
pedestrian early Thursday morn
ing as he was enroute to work.
Night policemen had failed to
detect the robbery.

Plain City high school, who has
been more than just successful
while showing her Guernsey heif-
ers at the central Ohio fairs this

thrill of seeing her fine heifer
walk out of the show ring wearing
the blue ribbons.
Her heifer was first in the Jun

Junior Reserve champion class. So
we'll did Miss Roberta show her
heifer that she was honored by

Sir GIodwyn Leaving

The United Nations will lose one of it's
ablest and most popular personalities when Sir
Gladwyn Jebb leaves it next March to become
Great Britains Ambassador to France. Since
1850, as his country's chief delegate to the u NJ,
he has stood out in the Security Council and
General Assembly as an urbane and witty man
blessed with exceptional brilliance-a brilliance
he has used to very good effect, in and out of
debate, in defending the cause of peace and
serving the best interests of his own and other
free lands. His fine work to that end will be
long remembered especially his impressive and
productive jousts with the Soviet representa-
tiveS.
Looking back on his service in the United
Nations, Sir Gladwyn has made point of de-
claring that he remembers with pride and
some emotion" the many occasions on which
he worked "Side by side with the representative
of the United States" Like his government and
his country, he has been our stout ally on the
most crucial issues of the times, and he has
we'll earned-as Ambassador Lodge, our chief
delegate, has Said-"the highest regard of the
American people," who have come to know him
as perhaps the most appealing of the U. MS
teeviSion stars. Their best wishes will go with
him when he leaves for France

A Good Reporter

William H. Shipper, whose sudden and
unexpected death yesterday has brought
.ense of loss in The Stars news room, possessed
number of the qualities that make the good
reporter-and he was a good Star reporter
for period covering. some IS years He was
careful with his facts, he knew news, he wrote
well, and his quiet-but often amused-detach-
ment left him Sngularly free of bias. His
versatility was reflected in some of the assign
mentS he was chosen to cover. He was good
man on trial, or a rapid-fire hearing in
Congress. But he was also a good man to
write about bombing flight over Tokyo dur
ing the war, an air voyage over the North
Pole, the pioneering dash of jet airplane
across the Atlantic, an animal-gathering trip
for the Zoo in the jungles of South America,
or an observation of undersea life at the bot
toms of Chesapeake Bay through the windows
of the National Biographies aquascope. These
were few of the exploits in the life of
reporter. But there were also qualities as
man-an unassuming modeSty, reserved but
penetrating wit and gentleness of conduct
that endeared Bill Shippen to those who knew
him.

Disuqrees With Miss FIeeson

Doris Fleeson has prompted me, for
the second time, to write letter to the
editor. Her column of November 10 in
which she. along with the more sober
minded citizens of this frenzied Capt.
tal." attempted to assess the results of
the Harry Dexter White case with the
usual CLOSING over of the Truman ad-
ministration's gross negligence in the
affair and with the usual charge of
"McCarthyism" hurled at the Republi-
cans) just plain made me mad.
I, too. wish that Representative Velde
might have managed to hold in check
his desire for sharing the headlines, but
I find it hard to go along with Miss
Fleeson's opinion that the Attorney
General overstated his case. In fact,
after hearing his testimony and that
OF Mr.. Hoover, it is difficult to under
stand how it could be overstated. In
the first place, it seems to me that the
majority of the journalistic fraternity
went overheard in reporting Mr..
Brownell's original speech by lifting
one sentence out of context, which, as
1 understand it, is supposed to be one
of the cardinal sins of "McCarthyism.
read Mr.. Brownell's speech in its
entirety. and I emphatically did not
get the impression that he intended to
1mpugn Mr.. Truman's loyalty. AS for
the charge of laxity, think that has
been proven beyond the shadow of a
doubt.

The Unmoskinq of Mr.. PiItdown

1t is a ScandalouS and shocking story that
they tell now about the PiltdoWn Man. Through
all the years, ever since Charles Dawson "dis-
covered" him in Sussex, England in 1911,
practically everybody except small band of
diehard skeptics regarded him as one of the
wonders of the jaw-breaking archaeological
and anthropological world. Indeed, according
to the Encyclopedia Britannica only Pithecan-
thropuS erectuS outranked him in that world.
True, he had terribly surly and murderous
look about him, but he was nonetheleSS a very
special old bonehead-a spectacular but thor
Oughly respectable fossil placed high on a
pedestal, with admiration and some affection,
as proof positive that "at the beginning of the
Pleistocene period a race of mankind had come
by brain that had reached human estate"
But what do we learn now? Now we are
told on the best authority, and without the
slightest qualification, that this fellow
formally named EoanthropuS, the Dawn Man
was fake from the very day he was first
presented to science and the world at large.
Dawson, amateur may have dug him up in
good faith without realizing that the "diScov-
cry" was being engineered by somebody else
as one of the greatest hoaXeS of the century,
but the debunking experts have no doubt
whatever about the phOninesS of Mr.. Piltdown
himself: Mr. PiltdoWn, far from being char
acter who had come by brain" and blazed
a sensational new trail in human evolution,
was-and is-nothing but a counterfeit made
up of lot of insignificant bones "doctored" so
effectively with chemicals that even some of the
Savviest of paleontologStS and anthropologistS
are on record as having been wholly fooled
by him.
Whoever perpetrated this fraud, with or
without DaWsons connivance, must have been
a genius of Sorts His deed suggests that he
may have been motivated by a sardonic desire
to prove to himself the gullibility and falbility
of so-called infallible science. Well, if that
was his objective, he certainly attained it, and
in the process he hoodwinked an army of
savantS into writing and accumuating a vast
amount of learned literature on EoanthropuS.
What an appalling task of revision must now
be undertaken in all languages to excise the
hoax from countless dictionaries, encyclopedias,
textbooks and defnitive works on the evolution
of man. The hoaXer (could he possibly be in
Heavenly must surely be impressed by the
result of his handiwork if he can see it. As
for the rest of us the whole business can
hardly fail to be bit unSettling. Mr.. Piltdown
was kind of 40-year-old eternal verify To
have him unmaSked as an impoStor after all
this time, toppled in disgrace, seems somehow
regrettable. 1t leaves our uncertain world
more uncertain STILL and robS it of yet another
little measure of romance. Too bad.

are one of the most tragic evidences
of the cruel war which has been fought
in their country for the last three
years.
Although millions of dollars have
been set aside for Korean relief, the
implementation of any plan to ade-
quately house, clothe and feed these
children must of necessity take time,
and winter is nearly upon us now. The
Fhunderbird Division has just completed
collection taken from all units for
the purpose of aiding certain estab-
liShed OrphanageS. One of these is 10
Gated on Cheju-Do Island, just off the
southern coast of Korea. This orphan
age houses some 750 children. Our
campaign was most successful in that
we raised over $4,000 for this worthy
cause. This money will be utilized to
provide some of the requirements which
are available in this impoverished land.
These include an effort to provide bet
ter housing and some supplementary
food items, together with medical
facilities. However, our ability to secure
children's clothing is very limited and
there is an urgent requirement for
warm clothing for these youngsters
during the coming months when we
can expect the same bitter winter
weather that is so we'll known, not only
to us here in Korea, but also to you
back home who have read or been told
of these winters by your loved ones
who have been here or by reports
which you have read of the fighting
in the past winters.
Any children'S clothing you may
wish to send to us may be addressed to:
Civil Affairs Officer, Headquarters 45th
Infantry Division, APO Sc, CO Post
master, San Francisco, Calf. If you
can help us in our program we would
appreciate your getting these packages
under way as quickly as possible SO
that the clothing may be distributed
before the really bitter weather sets in.
For your information, parcel post re-
quires up to six weeks to reach us.

They are very unimportant to people

Not every one is so situated that he

Site Of Navy Trunsmitter

On November 18 the Navy opened its
great new world-Spanning radio trans
mitter near Seattle. Wash.
Only eight months ago, Senator Nc
Carthy and his aides charged Voice of
America personnel with aiding the
Communist cause and wasting millions
OF dollars by choosing a site near
Seattle, Wash, for the great proposed
VOA transmitter, Baker West. Choos-
ing to ignore the fact that a majority
of the best radio engineers in America,
civilian and military, consider the Pa
clf1c Northwest an excellent location for
a globe-girdling radio transmitter, the
Senator gave the American public the
impression that there would be an al
most total loss of money to the tax
payer, and Soviet Russia would be
aided, if Voice transmitter were built
near Seattle.
The late Raymond Kaplan, capable
young Voice of America engineer and
Air Force reserve officer, was so ap-
palled at the distortion of truth that
he saw no hope for men in his posi-
ton. He committed suicide, leaving a
note in which he said "once the dogs
are after you" there is no escape.
The opening of the Navy transmitter
is sadly late vindication of the judg-
ment of Raymond Kaplan and his asso-
ciates.
