of his money. The marshal took
the Eskimo's rife and mailed it
to the FBI also. Then he waited
for the answers.
Ex-COnvict Cleared
In the laboratory, the pieces
of evidence were given to the
men who had helped launch this
project less than four years
before. The stains on the ex-
convict's socks weren't human
blood. And a ballistics expert
found that the fatal bullet hadn't
been fired from the ex-convict's
rifle. Both reports supported
the ex-convict's claims.
Then a test shot was fired
from the Eskimo's rifle into a
on-filled box. The bullet was
placed under a microscope be-
side the death bullet. Slowly
the two bullets were revolved
until the trained eye at the
microscope saw that the grooves
and lines etched on the bullets
by the gun barrel matched per-
fectly.
No two gun barrels are alike
in minute detail. The inside of
each barrel has its own peculiar
imperfections in the metal which

Bureau Puts Science Crew to Work
To Catch Alaska Prospector's Killer

John Nilima could have come
from one gun only-the gun
owned by the Eskimo.
The ex-convict was freed. The
Eskimo confessed to the murder
and was sentenced to serve 20
years in a Federal penitentiary,
trapped by the scientific crime
fighters through methods now
accepted as routine.
In less than a quarter-of-a-
century. the FBI's scientific tools

more complex, and progressively
more effective.
With a borrowed microscope,
ultraviolet light equipment, an
instrument for examining the
interior Of a gun barrel and a
few other. odds and ends, the
FBI laboratory was officially in
operation on November "a, 1882.
Twenty-four years later, this 81
million laboratory had become
an institution in American law
enforcement. with the services
of its experts and equipment
available to local law enforce
ment agencies without charge.
Business SkyrOckets
Official examinations in the
laboratory's first IL months Of
active operation totaled 1853.
During the fiscal year 1856, the
laboratory made more than 140.-
900 examinations of evidence
submitted by agents and by local
law enforcement agencies.
The FBI laboratory is divided
into a number of different Sec

the physics and chemistry section
has units which handle firearms

FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

ABSENCE: Some years ago,

nish composer Jean Sibelius.
The liquor was plentiful, the
guests were thirsty, and before
long everyone was a little gay.
Walter stayed overnight. then
left for Sweden to fill an en-
gagement. When he returned
three days later, the party was
still going. He took off MS coat
and rejoined them.
He had scarcely made his en-

FAN MAIL: When newspaper
columnist Raymond Clapper be-
gan writing his column on
national affairs, it created no
stir whatsoever. The handful of
reader letters which trickled in
were heartbreakingly noncom-
initial.
Clapper was so discouraged he
was on the verge of giving up
the venture. Then one day he
received a fan letter praising
him extravagantly.
That night, at dinner. he read
the letter to his wife and two
children. To his establishment,
they were more embarrassed
than pleased. Puzzled. the COL
umnist retired wondering whe-
ther his family had deserted him
too. Only later did he learn that
his daughter, aged ten, had been
the enthusiastic letter writer.

My skin is easily pricked by
people who say they don't worry.
Perhaps they worry less than you

that man is, by nature, a worri-

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: In read
ing your column I find that you
give a lot of good advice and
that you have good common
sense and that's fine and just
as it should be.
But in one recent column you
went on to say that everybody
worries" and let me say that
that is not so. I for one do not
worry. l could not afford to
waste my God-given energy in
such foolish and negative way.
What is a sure antidote to
worry? Why faith. of course.
Faith in whom? Why, faith in
God. in whose image and like
ness we were all created-and I
mean ALL. The Bible tells us so.

And in the Old Testament we
are told. I am the Lord thy God
who healeth thy diseases. And in
the New Testament it says: The
prayer of Faith shall heal the
sick. And that is true. ! know.
For I have proved it many times.
We do not help ourselves or
anyone else by worrying. Worry
is nothing but a negative emo
ton that can be cured by faith in
God and in prayer.
Faith in God and worry cannot
mix any more than oil and water.

And now. may the good Lord

they are ideally suited and this
breakup is a great mistake. 1t
all happened over a silly quarrel
and my brother lost his temper
and yelled at Edna. She flung
back his ring. The whole thing
was so unlike both of them. Ben
has a wonderful disposition as
"a rule and I've never known him
to get angry about anything so
trivial. Edna, too, has always
been the easy-going type.
My brother has been heart
broken about the thing and has
asked me to help him win Edna
back. She is such a fine girl, I
don't see how she can hold a
grudge like this.
Edna BIN not holding a
grudge. I just feel I could not
live with a man who yelled at
me on the slightest provocation.
If he does this before we are
even married, what will happen
afterwards?
Angela talks Of the whole
thing as a lovers spat,' but I
know those "spats." I was en-

appears TO be taking a little
too much on herself. 1t is really
up to Ben to try to mend this
affair by himself.

BY PHIL YEAGER and
JOHN STARK

In Bedford County, Va, the
other day a truck driver went
before a jury on a charge Of
speeding. The driver, it devel-
oped, had been clicked by a
patrol reconnaissance
plane which lazes along incon-
spicuously above and radios in
formation on speeders to police
cars waiting up the road a bit.
The jury, possibly with a COL
lective shudder at the thought
of such devilish all-seeing con-
traptions, let the motorist off.
Whether this particular high
way patrol setup, and others like
it in various parts of the coun-
try, present any of the elements
of the speed trap" can be
argued.
Speed Trap Evils
But it seems significant that
as the ultra modern devices for
enforcing traffic regulations
develop, fresh concern is being
evidenced over the evils of the
speed trap.
In its recent recommendations
for State legislation during 1857,
for example, the Council of
State Governments says this:
Proper enforcement of traf-
fic laws is of obvious Importance
for safety reasons !. However,
many local communities have
discovered that overzealous adj
ministration of speed limits and
other highway regulations pro-
vides a convenient substitute for
local taxation. The collection of
money in this way is all the more
attractive because the license
plate on the vehicle provides a
ready means of identifying the
driver as local or non-local. The
brunt Of the burden may then
be imposed on people from dis
tant communities both within
and without the State.

convenience which they know

and Ben.
Edna blames Ben for yelling"
and displaying temper toward
her. Yet she threw back her
ring in a spirit of temper. APP
parently. 1t took two to cause the
breakup and it probably took two
to make the original quarrel.
Since Edna already has had
one broken engagement because
of quarreling, 1t is fairly reason
able to suggest that she had
something to do with provoking
these quarrels. The fact that
Edna's parents never got along
very we'll" undoubtedly has a lot
to do with it. Edna is very
likely repeating the pattern set
by her parents married life. The
disharmony in her own home
probably has given her a fear
of marriage and she uses
quarrels as a means of backing
out.
Nevertheless, Edna has at the
same time a great desire to be
married or she would not keep
getting engaged. She ought to
give herself some thinking time
and try to see what makes her
engagements go wrong. If she
can't analyze her own difficulties
satisfactorily, she may find it
worthwhile to discuss the whole
thing with a qualified older per-
son-the family physician. a
marriage counselor or psy-
chiatrist.

icy winds moaned across the
Alaskan mountains and the fiat
lands, driving men and animals
to shelter. John Nilima, an old
time prospector and trader, re-
treated into his log cabin at a
remote place called Old Buck
land Village.
IN the fury of the storm, a
man stole to a sheltered side of
the cabin. looked through a win
dow, raised a rifle. took careful
aim and shot John Nilim q
through the head. Quickly the
killer opened the door and
stepped inside. He looked at
Nilima to be certain he was dead;
then he found the traders CASH
box and hurried back into the
blizzard. The snow soon covered
his tracks.
Bullet Discovered
The United States marshal
searched the cabin but the only
clue was the bullet from the
rifle of the killer. The slug had
gone through Nillma's head and
embedded itself in a log. The
marshal pried the bullet loose.
In the days that followed, the
marshal found himself with two
suspects. The first was an ex-
convict. known enemy of
Nilima's who had once threaten
ed to kill the trader because of
an argument over prospecting.

The marshal checked the ex-
convict's rifle. 1t had been fired
and hadn't been cleaned. De-
spite the mans protests of in
nocence. the evidence seemed
strong against him.

The marshal knew the FBI
had a technical laboratory in
Washington. D. c., where evil
dence was examined by scientific
means. 1t was a new develop
ment in law enforcement but
worth trying out. Carefully he
bundled UP the rife. the blood

British Set of
Big A-Bomb
Balloon Test

MARALINGA. Australia. Oct.
9 R.-Britain exploded a ball
loon-suspended atomic bomb
about 1000 feet over the semi
arid Maralinga wastes today.
Three balloons similar to
those that protected London
during World War II air raids

disappeared in the blast.
1t was Britain's first test of
an atomic weapon from bal
looms and its 18th atomic wea-
pom explosion. II completed a
three-test series begun i've
weeks ago.
This looked like one OF the
mightieSt atomic blasts the
British have set of.
What apparently was the
bomb appeared to newsmen
about five miles away as a small
black speck below the three
bulky balloons. The speck was
about 100 feet under the low
est balloon and perhaps 1000
feet from the ground.
Reports in the forward test
area were that Britain's atomic
