Another Steri|ity Case
Due to War Ray Seen

ORANGE. N. j.. June Is tP.
A 33-year-old Army veteran
who adopted a son three years
ago says a World War II light
ray machine may also have left
him sterile as a Connecticut CT
claims.
Sisto P. Caliciotti, an Orange
bartender. said he trained as a
tank crewman in the operation
Of the once top-secret arc lights
intended to blind enemy troops.
He said he was married in
l949 and five years later adopted
a child when doctors told him
he was sterile. Mr.. Caliciotti
said the high-powered lights
mounted on tank turrets may
have caused the sterility.
Mr.. Caliciotto. who is waiting
clearance for the adoption Of
another child. said he has read
that Joseph Vanacore. AZ. an
other veteran from Hamden,
Conn. is seeking compensation
for service induced sterility.
Inquiry Launched
The Army has launched an
inquiry into complaints of for
mer soldiers that they are un-
able TO father children or that
their children are defective as
a result OF the World War II
experiments.
An Army spokesman said some
5000 men were associated with
the experiments on the device
conceived by the British. 1t

though nearly 300 M-3 tanks
were equipped with IL.
Meanwhile, the former train
ing chief for the experiments at
Fort Knox, KY, discounted the
possibility that the l3-million

sterility or defective genes.

is (P).-Two of the three major
Presbyterian groups in America
will merge next year to form the
United Presbyterian Church in
the United States OF America.
The unified group, with a
membership Of 3 million, VII be
made up of the present Presby-
terrain Church in the U. S. A. and
the United Presbyterian Church
of North America.
The union was assured yester-
day when the 99th General AS
Sembly Of the United Presbyte-
rian Church voted. l6l-l24. to
ratify the previous approval Of
its presbyteries.
The unifying conference will
be held next May in Pittsburgh
on the Tooth anniversary of the
founding of the United Presby-
terrain Church, alD in Pitts

Because of strong feelings on
the part OF dissenters expressed
during an hour-long debate On
the unif1cation issue yesterday.
there was no attempt to make
the vote unanimous. Actually,
it would have taken a two-thirds
dissenting vote in the assembly
to have upset the approval OF
the presbyteries.
Harmony Move Offered
But DR.. Cary N. Weisiger OF
Mount Lebanon, Pa. leader OF
the opposition. offered a "reso-
luton OF good will" which the
assembly adopted by a unani-
nous voice vote.
The Presbyterian Church in
the U. S. A. dates its origin back
to 1910. 1t has headquarters in
Philadelphia. The United Pres
oyterian Church, originally
formed by union Of the Associ-
ate and Associate Reformed
Churches in May, 1858. has

Maurice Bourges-Maunoury
has succeeded, by a narrow
and most uncomfortable mar
gin, in becoming the twenty
second Premier of France
since the end of World War
II. His task is not an envi-
able one. and his days are. in
the opinion of most observers
of the Paris political confu-
sion, definitely numbered.
Bourges-Maunoury, a Radi-
cal Socialist (Which in France
means a right-of-center mid

ly dedicated to the task of
depressing the Algerian re-
volt. He also is committed to
the unhappy job of finding
the funds whereby to support
the French Army's military
efforts in that embattled
North African dependency
which Paris insists is an in
tegral part of metropolitan
France, and which the Alge-
rians with fierce and bloody
emphasis declare is an indie

And exactly as his prede-
cessor, Guy Mollet. faltered
on the obstacles of frenzied
finance, so also will Bourges-
Maunoury fail. For the simple
truth is that French wealth.

Uses Clothes as Motivation
Resolve not to live with your
nose stuck in a diet sheet every
day. Buy yourself an expensive
|dreSs-or suit-two or three sizes
too small! That's good way to
get enough incentive to diet.
Then all you have to do is cut
your present diet in half: Take
three slices Of toast instead of
six; half a piece of pie instead
Of the usual portion. etc. Apply
this method to your entire diet
plan. If you can cut out $500
calories a week you will lose
about a pound a week.
If you can't do it on your own,
better ask your doctor to tell you
in what proportion to take your
proteins, carbohydrates and fats.
Try it. 1t will delight you to

You will find that dieting is
easy; you will navel at your re-
