Acc Man Potents
Telephone 'De-bueeer'

A young security official Of
the Atomic Energy Commission
has patented a device to keep
bugs of telephones-wiretaps
that is.
The inventor is Earle D.
Hightower, SO, chief of the
Aces technical security bu-
reau.
His gimmick, granted a
patent last Thursday. is de-
signed to alert-by means of a
buZzer or flashing light-any-
one whose telephone is being
tapped.
Mr.. Hightower explained that
a common means of eavesdrop-
ping on a conversation is to
energize the microphone in a
telephone which is resting in its
cradle, apparently inactive.
One method OF keeping the
microphone alive is to bypass
the cutoff switch-in most
cases, the buttons on the cradle
with a streak of silver paint
or ink which. will conduct cleo
tricity.
Physically his bug -detector is
a black box. about 2 inches
thick, 4 inches wide. and s
inches long. Mr.. Hightower
said. 1t can be attached and
concealed under the telephone
cradle.
The battery-powered detector

Red Chino Gets
Bigger Slice Of
Rice Market

ROME, Feb, % (AP) Com
mmist China grabbed a big
slice last year of the world
market for rice. the United
Nations food and agriculture
organization reported today.
The FAC distributed a re-
port on the world rice situa-
ton prepared by the organiza-
TONS donation subcommittee
on the economic aspects of rice.
which met in Colombo, Ceylon,
February 1924.
The subcommittee found that
below average 1857 = SO crops
sharply reduced the rice ex-
ports of the main producing
countries. Thailand, Burma
and the United States shipped
100000 tons less rice than in
1857.
But preliminary information
indicated that the total world
exports of rice probably were
about the same as the post
war record levels of SIS million
tons in the two previous years
largely due to increased ex-
ports from mainland China.
In the 1883 season, the
subcommittee found, crops out
side Red China seem likely to
reach the 1867 peak level of
1877 million tons because of good
weather. The report said Of
fetal government estimates
also tell of very large crops in
Red China.
Japan. which alone accounted
for nearly one-third of world
imports in the past. now seems
to be approaching self-suffi-
cheney at present levels of con-
sumption, the subcommittee re-
ported.

The veteran diplomat. who
has been stationed in Managua
for about eight years, has been
comforting with officials at the
State Department for the last
week. The talks are described
as routine and in no way the
results Of protests by Nicara-
guans who are politically OPP
posed to President Luis Somoza
Debayle. Mr.. Whelan has ar
ranged to return to Managua
within the next few days.
Although no formal state
ments have been made. it is
clear that Nicaragua's internal
problems have come under
close study at the State De-
partment.
One development which obvi-
ously pleased United States Of
flcials. as we'll as diplomats in
Latin America, was the signing
of a territorial asylum agree
ment by the governments OF
Nicaragua and neighborine
Honduras on Thursday. Under
terms Of this pact. each country
promises to keep close tab on
persons who would subvert the
other government. Either sig
natory will expel a subversive

effective Nicaragua can devote

Executions Hit
Low Of 48,
Report Shows
BY the Associated Pres,

Forty-eight convicts we're put
to death by civil executioners
last year. the lowest annual
number since the Federal Pris-
ons Bureau started keeping ma
tional records in 1890.
All of those excited were
men. Forty we're for murder, 7
for rape, and l in Texas for
robbery with firearm.
The prisons bureau report
released tonight said 81 execu-
tons were by electrocution, Is
by lethal gas. and by hang
ing. California, Georgia, Ohio
and Texas with 6 executions
each accounted for half of the
national total.
(There were no executions
in the District last year. At
present, two men are under
death sentence in District
jail They are Willie Lee
Stewart, convicted of the
Staying of a grocer during a
holdup, and Conner Blocker,
convicted of the shotgun kill
ing of a woman
The report said the previous
low number was in 1853, with
81 civil executions, The high
was in 1885, with 1893.
The national average has
dropped from 167 in the 193Os
to 1913 in the 1940S and to "a in
the 1950-58 period. Seven
States have abolished the death
penalty.
In addition to the civil exc
cutions. the report noted that
the Army in 1858 carried out
one execution for murder.

ragua would succeed--at least
to the extent that the Somoza
government would be ousted.
They reason as follows:
The most likely target for an
invasion force would be the We
cinity of Bluefields. ON the
southeast coast Of the country.
If hostile troops entered there.
they would find themselves in
a sparsely populated coastal
plain and surrounded by swamp
land. u
Authorities also believe the

forces in Central America-and

adequate to take care of Mica
raguan security.
U. S. Obligated TO Aid
If the country came under
attack, as threatened, the gov
ernment could invoke provisions
Of the charter Of the Organiza-
ton of American States. Under
the terms of the charter. fel-
low members of GAS, including
the United States, would be OBJ
ligated to help put down the
aggression.
The internal unrest in Mica
ragua is attributed in part to
the decline in coffee and cotton
prices but is blamed principally
upon political hostility to the
Somoza family.
The 35-year-old President
succeeded his father, Gen. AN

was killed by an assassin in
September. 1856. At that time,
the son, Luis. was presiding Of

to the presidency. In the elec-
tons five months later he won
a term in his own right.

Typical Reactions
Arthur Sabin, vice president
of the Washington Rowing AS
ISOLATION. expressed a typical
reaction among the oarsmen.
"The polluted condition OF
the Potomac is well known to
everybody" he said. But we've
been working on this boathouse
project for years and 1t will be
a real shame II we have TO delay
Ii now Just because some people
are making learned noises with
out really saying much"
Mr.. Sabin pointed out that
MOP plans to locate the center
at Rock Greek have been a
matter of general knowledge
since at least 1857 when the
first budget request went to
Congress for approval.
Charles Butt. a governor OF
the Potomac Boat Club. said
Please show us a cleaner spot
anywhere in the Potomac
We've been rowing there for
years without any noticeable
effect on our health"
Fred Malitz. coach Of the
Georgetown University shell
crew. shared another fear with
his fellow boating enthusiasts.
IF this boathouse is not
built now 1t may not be built
ever Mr.. Malitz said.
Jack Franklin lent perhaps
the most authoritative voice
among the counterprotesting
boating interests. Mr.. Franklin
is a long standing member Of
the Olympics Rowing Commit
tee. a four-year past president
Of the National Association of
Amateur Oarsmen, and coach
of the Hammond High School

Mr.. Franklin asserted that
extensive facilities have been
provided for years for sail and
power boats in more polluted
regions of the Potomac. Among
these, he pointed out. are the

The Haitian treasury, virtu-

Loan Announced
The United States on Febru-

Sc million available to Haiti
from the International Co
operation Administration.
Earlier, on February 10, an
emergency grant of half a mill
lion dollars was made. and an
announcement said other aid
was being considered.
The United States aim in
extending financial aid, United

avoid distress among the Hal
