Veteran Seeks
WayToRejoin
Wife Addison

BALTIMORE "a 2s-year-old
North Carolina veteran, forced by
red tape to leave the girl he loves
and his baby son behind him in
Germany, sought today to raise
enough money so he can rejoin
them.
Leroy F. Harris poured out his
story here today in letter to the
Baltimore Sun asking for "advice,
publicity or help of any other
kind"
Harris was discharged from the
Army last November after three
years of occupation duty in Ger
many. There, he met and fell in
love with Barbara, a Hungarian
girl who with her family had been
evacuated from their Budapest
home by the Russians in 1916 and
sent to West Germany.
Several months after their meet.
ing in 1850, Harris applied for mil
ltary permission to marry Bar.
bara. He volunteered for a one
year extension of his overseas tour
OF duty. Then he discovered that
his application to marry could be
submitted no earlier than nine
months prior to his discharge.
He reapplied and was told his
fiancee must submit a birth GER
tlflcate signed, sealed and issued
by the proper authorities in the
place or city of her birth. Requests
to officials of Hungary, now a sat
elite country, went unanswered.
Harris said he filed a statement
of paternity with the U. S. consul
after the child was born in Febru-
ry 1858 and began looking for
civilian employment. But arrange
ments to receive his discharge in
Germany were rejected.
Back in the United States, he
decided to wait until he had earned
enough to take him to Germany
and establish him in a job there.
But, having no work skill, he
found jobs scarce. His present
work nets him $685. a week.
II seem as far from it as I
was when I came to Baltimore, 3"
he said.

Tobacco Industry
Plans 3-Fold
Research Program

NEW YORK REThe tobacco in

lined a three-fold program on the
basis of which it will award funds
for scientific study of tobacco and
its effects on smokers.
DR.. Clarence Cook Little, Scien-
tic director of the committee, said
yesterday that research will be
conducted in these three areas:
Il. Study of the physical and
chemical composition of tobacco
and accompanying products.
20. Study of tissue changes in
humans and in animals under var
ious conditions.
80. Study of smoking and other
tobacco habits and of the emotional
and physical makeup of smokers. I"
Little said the committees ad-
visory board is reviewing applica-
tons for specific research projects.
The committee was set up this
year with an initial fund of $5OO, 900
provided by cigarette manufacture

OIL have been reading about
Operation Driftwood" lately, and
I would like to know just what
good it is. E. D. Adams, Fort
Myers.
A.-Operation Driftwood Is a
method that employs cards that
will drift. They are enclosed in
clear plastic envelopes so they will
not deteriorate, and are coated
with a substance like that used
on night signs so they will show
up better. These cards are distri-
buted at predetermined points; in
this case along the west coast of
Florida. Later, they are picked
up. The above two steps are car
ried out with great accuracy, both
in the placing and picking up of
the cards, and also the time in
volved between the two operations.
These cards will give information
on currents and counter-currents in
any given area. In this particular
instance, the area Of interest is
that concerned with the Red Tide.
With the information learned from
the drift cards, it may be possible
to chart the path of the Red Tide.
Of course, it is not possible to do
this with one such operation. It
would be necessary to repeat this
at regular intervals for a period
of at least one year. This would
give the seasonal fluctuations that
influence water movements.
@. - What is a ''Nudibranch"?
E. +. Handlan, Fl. Lauderdale,
Fla.
A.-The name ''Nudibranch"
means "naked-gill" and stands for
a group of small sea slugs which
are shelless, although belonging to
the molluscan Class Gastropoda,
which also includes the shelled
snailS and conchs. The Nudi-
branchs are often highly colored
and decorated with rows of hair
like tufts and flowing appendages,
which cause them to resemble the
moSs-grown rocks and seaweeds,
among which they are found.
Most are planteaters, but a few of
them may be cannibalistic.

Rhee Addresses
Congress To Ask
For Unification

WASHINGTON R-South Korean
President Syngman Rhee, who for
60 years has battled for a free and
united Korea, addresses a joint ses-
sion of Congress today to renew
his plea for Korean unification and
give thanks for American aid N
turning back the Communist in
vaderS.
After q White House conference
with President Eisenhower yester-
day, Rhee said bluntly he saw no
possibility of achieving Korean
unity by peaceful means.
Diplomatic sources reported the
United States would assure Rhee
of continued military and economic
assistance.
The American view was said to
be that security and economic aid
would be far more desirable than
the fresh destruction which would
occur in any renewal of the war to
drive the Communists from North
Korea.
Military and economic talks
started yesterday at the Pentagon
and the Foreign Operations Ad-
miniStration. How successful these
will be depends in part on Rhee's
attitude toward the American po-
sition, an informant said.
The South Korean President was
guest of honor, with Mrs. Rhee,
last night at a formal dinner
given by Secretary of State Dulles
at Anderson House.
The President and Rhee may
meet again at the White House
tomorrow afternoon or Friday
morning.
