Army Displays Some Of
Its Secret Equipment But
Shows No Atomic Gadgets
ABERDEEN, Md., (jP) — The
Army took the wraps off some of
its hitherto' secret equipment in a
display at the Aberdeen Proving
Ground, but a number of atomic
age guns and gadgets were con
spicuously absent.
Ordnance items on view ranged
from the latest in protective body
armor to the new 280 millimeter
atomic cannon, set up to fire a
conventional shell.
But abiding, by the terms of an
order issued last spring by Sec
retary of Defense Wilson, the
Army made no’ effort to display
such items as the new Nike anti
aircraft guided missile, the “On
tos” carrier for antiaircraft wea
pons or the new T-43 heavy tank.
The Wilson order prohibited for
reasons of security and economy
any “public demonstrations of
important new weapons and
equipment.”
The 280 mm cannon which
fired its first atomic round in
Nevada last spring was out in the
clear for public demonstration.
Also unaffected by the order
was the 75 mm “Skysweeper”
antiaircraft gun, with radar con
trols to detect and “lock onto”
approaching enemy planes.

United States, 56.4 percent are

DO YOU KNOW
THE LAW?
•Ignorance Is No Excuse
DO YOU KNOW?
If a person commits the crime
of burning a house in the daytime,
is the crime different or the pun
ishment more severe than if he
does the same burning at night?
ANSWER—The one who com
mits arson by burning in the day
time and is guilty of 2nd degree
arson would be guilty of 1st de
gree arson if he did the same
burning at night!
DID YOU KNOW?
A person who, for purposes of
gain, and by means of false state
ment or misrepresentation, at
tempts to divert a traveler from
one hotel, motel or boarding house
to another is guilty of a crime!
Another hotel or motel owner
might also have a civil cause of
action from damages resulting
therefrom.
DID YOU KNOW?
In cases involving rape, a wo
man’s good character as to chas
tity is admissable as evidence,
even though it is not (as yet) dis
puted by the man.
DID YOU KNjpW?
That most accidents are caused
by human “negligence,” even if
no legal cause of action accrues to
the injured party. Few accidents
are caused by what a court rules
as an “Act of God.”
DID YOU KNOW:
That it is the law that infants
have the domicile of the father
and, after the father’s death, the
domicile of the mother. This ap
plies even though the parents are
divorced and the custody of the
child is awarded to the mother.

Carl Hall Blames Missing Accomplice
For The Death Of Bobby Greenlease
KANSAS CITY, W>—'“We relied"
on a criminal’s word. We had to.
But we lost.”
That summed up the Robert C.
Greenlease family reaction to a
10 - day life-and-death gamble
with their 6-year-old son Bobby
as the stake—a gamble that ended
in the tragic death of the child.
The boy’s body was dug out of
a shallow grave at St. Joseph,
Mo., yesterday. Bobby’s wealthy
parents had paid a record $600
000 to the kidnappers — but to
no avail.
The FBI said Carl Austin Hall,
34, who once squandered a $200,
000 inheritance, was the ringlead
er in the abduction. Also under
arrest was Mrs. Bonnie Brown
Heady, 41, identified as the wom
an who last Sept. 28 took Bobby
from a private school on a ruse.
The only missing figure in the
case is Thomas John Marsh, 37,
an ex-convict. Police said Hall
named Marsh as an accomplice
and insisted Marsh killed the boy.
Hall told police, however, that he
had not seen Marsh since the day
of the kidnaping and that he alone
carried out negotiations for the
ransom payment.
A widespread search is under
way for Marsh.
Police recovered $293,992 of
the $600,000 when they arrested
Hall in St. Louis. Hall said he
thought he got drunk and lost
another suitcase filled with
money.
Mrs. Heady was picked up in a
St. Louis apartment the couple
was sharing. The arrests came
after a tip from an alert taxicab
driver who told a police lieuten
ant about a man “loaded with
> -
money and carrying a pistol.”
Hall, a chunky, balding man,
broke down under questioning
and implicated Mrs. Heady, a
childless divorcee.
“My God, I didn’t plan to harm
the child” Hall said. “I would
never have done a thing like
that.”
He blamed Marsh, saying he
turned the child over to him and
later found the boy dead with a
pistol beside the body in the
basement of Mrs. Heady’s St.
Joseph, Mo., home.
Neutral Commission
Accuses Allies of Stalling
Away Explanation Period
SEOUL, (ffl — The Neutral Na
tions Repatriation Commission
Thursday accused the Allies of
trying to stall away more of the
dwindling 90-day period allotted
for interviews with 23,000 war
prisoners who refuse to return to
their homelands.
The NNRC told the UNC point
edly that the Reds offered to take
only four days to build an ex
planation center which the Allies
estimated would require a month.
Truce terms specify that the ex
planation period ends Christmas
Eve. The Allies have turned down
repeated NNRC and Red requests
for an extension.
In a letter to the UNC Thurs
day, the NNRC said bluntly:
The commission is not prepared
to be a party to the curtailment
off the period . . . particularly in
view of the fact that the U.N.
Command is unable to agree to an
extension . . .”
2500 Year Old Clay Sewer Line
Uncovered In Ruins of Greek City
Homer Thompson, Professor
of Archaeology of the American
School of Classical Studies at
Athens, Greece, has recently an
nounced the uncovering of a clay
pipe line which was installed in
the early Fifth Century, B.C., in
ancient Athens.
The photograph, showing the
2500 year old line, was taken
during excavations of the ruins
of Agora, a public square about
35 acres in size, just below the
famous Acropolis. This may have
been one of the world’s first
shopping centers.
Engineers, who examined the
pipe after it was excavated, said
it was in good enough shape to
be put back into use.
This announcement is of par
ticular interest to millions of
home owners who have hundreds
of dollars invested in the un
seen but important plumbing
line which connects their homes
to the city sewage system.
Chances are that 85% of the
homes in your community have
house sewers made of the same
material used in 500 B.C.—vitri
fied clay pipe. Using materials
such as these are more important
today than ever before.
Automatic washing machines,
dishwashers and garbage dis
posal units contribute new and
additional rugged attacks on
house sewers, The Sanitary En
gineering Committee reports.
These modern conveniences dis
charge high temperature water
down the hpuse sewer in great
quantities—-day after day, week
after week.
If the house connection pipe Is
a synthetic substitute, its fibers
swell, the pipe softens ovals and
flattens out of shape. Roots enter
the joints and block off the flow.
Sewage backs up into the dwell
ing.
Garbage disposal units add
acids to the kitchen wastes,—
acetic acid from vinegar, for
example, and citric acid from
citrus fruits. Then, too, every
housewife frequently uses pow
erful toilet bowl chemicals
and drain openers, household
bleaches, cleaners and various
other chemicals, all of which
pass down the drains and into
the sewers from the house.
These chemicals are the acids,
alkalies and other reagents
which roughen, attack and dis
integrate non-clay sewer pipe
and drains. Clay pipe is the only
piping material known to man
which is guaranteed against
acid, alkali, and chemical attack.
No home owner since the dawn
of history ever had to replace
an acid-eaten or chemically de
stroyed clay pipe sewer.
This clay pipe line i* j -
old, and still in good condition.
It proves the value of using such,
materials as clay pipe.
