Writing Ban
By the Associated Press

Representative Moss, Demo-
crat of California, disclosed
today that the Defense Depart
ment has banned signed news
paper or magazine articles by
high-ranking officers except in
military publications.
Mr.. Moss, as chairman of the
House Government Informa-
ton Subcommittee, demanded

In a letter to Defense Secre-
tary McElroy, Mr.. Moss said
the new ban seems to conflict
with a previous Defense De-
partment directive. This said
the Department has an obliga-
ton to inform the public land
to provide proper information
regarding the Army, Navy, Air
Force and Marine Corps"
The only restriction on writ
ing Tor publication contained
in that directive, Mr.. Moss said,
was the articles had to be
checked for security clearance
and that such writing should
not conflict with the officers Of
fetal duties.
Mr.. Moss cited a recent
memorandum from Chauncey
Robbins. Deputy Assistant Sec
rotary of Defense for Public
Affairs, which said any signed
articles by high-ranking Off
Gals in other than service or
quasi service publications
would not be cleared.

Hold the Phone -

BOSTON, R - In this case, necessity to reach a popular girl by telephone was the mother of invention.
 The invention is a device which, without continued operation, keeps calling a busy telephone number until the' call ge S through.
 The inventor is Who'd Sundra, native of New Delhi, India, now an engineer with Clevite Transister products, Waltham, Mass.
 He told all about the invention and demonstrated it at an cleo tronics show in Boston.
 Sundra said every time he tried to reach certain young lady, a student at Simmons College, her line was busy.
 So Sundra went to work and developed a mechanism which keeps trying the number. When the connection is made buzzer goes off at the callers end and he can pick up his telephone and begin his conversation.
 The mechanism keeps trying with such frequency that no one can nip in ahead of it.
 The device not only got Sundra his dates but it gave him his ba- chelor of science in electrical en- gineering thesis at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Alaska Magazine Dealer Suing Big Supplier
 In Antitrust Complaint

SEATTLE, R-John M. Ander- son, of Anchorage, testified here yesterday that he lost an annual net income of $12,000 because magazine publishers refused to sell to him directly.
 Anderson's testimony wound up the plaintiffs case in Anderson's $540,000 magazine distribution antitrust suit against the Ameri- can News Co.,, formerly one of the nations top wholesale distribu- tors of magazines and pocket books.
 Harry Henke Jr., Seattle de- fense attorney, moved for di- rected verdict, but the motion was denied by United States District Court Judge William J. Lindberg.
 The trial, being heard by jury of ten men and two women, is in it's fourth week. The defense has indicated it's presentation will take several days.
 Anderson, who in 1855 obtained military contracts to supply maga- zines to post exchanges through out Alaska, contends the publish CTS and the national distributors refused to sell to him because they were engaged in combina- tion to restrain and monopolize trade.

Stronger Eruption Building New Cone In Island Volcano
By HENRY HARTzENBUscH

HONOLULU, R - A new vol cano cone was born today as mighty Kilauea Volcano spewed tons of glowing, molten lava and steaming rock 1000 feet into the air from a week-old fiery vent.
 The cone, half-moon in shape, began to rise around a 150foot Assure in the southern wall of Kilauea Xxi crater. It began to take shape after seven days of eruption flowed an estimated 10 million cubic yards of lava down the crater's gentle inner slope in a 1OO-foot wide river.
 At the bottom of the crater, a lake of lava had risen to over 200 feet in depth. And it was rising at a rate of three feet an hour.
 Seismologists continued to min imize any threat of an overflow, saying it would take weeks be- for Kilauea Xxi - mile wide and equally long m would spill over.
 An overflow would not threat en surrounding farm land or the few hundred inhabitants of Vol cano Village, about mile north of the erupting crater.
 Thousands of spectators were
