Congressman Will Move
To Resrict Sale of Bottled
Liquor On Military Posts
WASHINGTON, UP) — Rep.
Shafer iR-Mich) says the Penta
gon made a “bureaucratic blun
der” when it recently approved
the sale of bottled liquor on
Army and Air Force posts.
He said in a statement yester
day he intends to try, during the
session of Congress starting in
January, tc put the situation back
where it was: no liquor sales on
military posts, but permission for
officers to drink in their clubs
the liquor they bought elsewhere.
In Michigan, Shafer said, the
military escapes a 44 per cent
markup and sales tax by buying
directly from distillers instead of
through state-controlled stores.

Happy, Tearful Reunion
As Soldier Meets Family
After He Quit Communism
WASHINGTON, UP) — “My son!
My son! Bless the Lord!”
Shouting these words and wav
ing her arms in the air, Bessie
Dickerson early Saturday rushed
into the arms of her son, the pris
oner of war who embraced Com
munism and then, changed his
mind.
It was the first time Cpl. Ed
ward Dickenson had seen his
mother in more than three years
and for a breathless moment a
score of reporters and photo
graphers stood mutely by.
Then pandemonium broke loose.
Photo bulbs snapped and ques
tions came from everywhere. In
the midst of all this, the Dicken
sons—mother, father, a son and
sister—kept on embracing and
weeping.
‘Zip Gun,’ Dagger, Sword
Used By Juveniles Shown
At Delinquency Hearing
WASHINGTON, Spectators
gasped during Friday’s juvenile
delinquency hearing when a wit
ness produced a homemade “zip
gun” that shoots .22 cartirdges, an
automatic pistol, a dagger, an ice
pick, a switchblade knife and a
2Vfe-foot sword.
Kenneth Marshall, 28-year-old
Negro associated with the New
York City Youth Board, used the
arsenal to point out how rival
juvenile gangs engage in no-holds
barred mass fights called “rum
bles.” But sometimes the gangs
just have a “fair” fight, he said—
two individuals picked from each
group have it out by themselves.
Why do they fight, the Senate
judiciary subcommittee wanted to
know.
“To assert themselves, their
status ... to blow off steam,”
Marshall said. “If you ask most of
them what the fight is about,
you’ll find they don’t know or
care.”
Although the eruption of Mt.
Katmai in Alaska in 1912 may
have been the most violent vol
canic eruption in history, no hu
man life was lost because of the
remote location of the volcano.

Air Liner Flies
Nonstop From
Los Angeles - N.Y.
LOS ANGELES, (tf>—American
Air Lines flew the world’s fastest
piston engine air liner, the Doug
las DC-7, both ways across the
continent Friday.
One of the new turbo-compound
engine-powered air liners flew
nonstop 2,500 miles from Los An
geles to New York in 6 hours and
40 minutes.
me orner, scneamea xo make
the New York - Los Angeles hop
nonstop in 7 hours, 55 minutes,
developed pressurization trouble
and landed at Denver for repairs.
After a three-hour delay, it flew
the 950 miles to Los Angeles in
slightly more than 2V& hours.
American carried about 50 news
writers on each flight in what was
designed as a preview of the na
tion’s first regular daily nonstop
service co'ast-to-coast in each dir
ection, starting Nov. 29.
American said the DC-7 is the
only aircraft in service that can
operate nonstop coast - to - coast
schedules under eight hours in
either direction. Several air regu
lations limit domestic schedules
to no more than eight hours.
The DC-7 is powered by Wright
turbo-compound-enign^s, in which
the power output of the conven
tional piston engine is increased
one-fifth without an increase in
fuel consumption through the use
of exhaust gases to drive turbines
geared .to the propeller shaft.
The DC-7 has a cruising speed
of 365 miles an hour, and a top
speed of 410. It is 50 miles an hofur
faster than its immediate prede
cessor, the DC-6B, and 20 miles an
hour faster than the Lockheed
Super-C Constellation, which has
the same Wright compound en
gines.
It is estimated that the United
States dog population is about
22,500,000.

Italy Agrees To But Tito
Against Five-Power
Conference On Trieste
ROME, UP)—The Italian foreign
ministry said today that Italy has
agreed unconditionally to the Big
Three proposal for a five-power
conference on the future of dis
puted Trieste.
Previously foreign diplomatic
sources had indicated that Italy’s
assent to the conference proposal
had been conditioned, but a for
eign ministry spokesman said to
day:
“Italy’s position has been taken
into' consideration by the Allies
and the Allies’ suggestion for a
five - power conference* was ac
cepted.”
In Belgrade, the official Yugo
slav news agency Tan jug said
that the conditional acceptance at
tributed earlier to Italy appeared
to be along lines laid down pre
viously by Rome. Tanjug said any
proposal for a conference taking
for granted that part of the terri
tory would be turned over to Italy
was “completely unacceptable” to
President Tito’s government.
