Korea Coddles
(Turtle Declared
1,000 Years Old
SEOUL, Sept. . (. No turtle
ever had it so good. But then not
every turtle is six feet long and
1,000 years old.
The turtle downed a crock of
wine the first thing when fisher
men lugged him ashore a few
days ago. The fishermen gave
him a second crockful, then a
third. He drained them without
a hiccup.
"Didn't hurt him at alt," Pres
ident Syngman Rhee of the South
Korean Republic told his news
conference.
When Rhee heard about the
remarkable catch he ordered the
turtle brought to the Seoul zoo.
(Rhee takes the fishermen's es
timate that any turtle that big

f ishermen know more about tur
tle ages than presidents.)
Furthermore. Rhee has direct
ed various official functionaries
to find out the latest in the care
and feeding of turtles.
"It's an omen," Rhee bubbled.
"It means prosperity for the na
tion. The turtle is our symbol of
longevity and prosperity."

Wtsttrn Chicken Flocks
Hit By New Disease
PULLMAN. Wash. Sept. i LV
A disease new to western chick
en flocks has started causing
trouble for Pacific Northwest
poultry men.
Dr. E. H. Peterson, assistant
professor of poultry pathology at
Washington State college, said
the disease has been known in
the east for some time as epi
demic tremors, a virus disease
that usually affects chickens dur
ing the first six weeks after they
are hatched.
A laboratory test Is necessary
to detect the virus, he said.
Symptoms include tremors of the
head and some paralysis of the
bird's legs and wings.
Although the disease apparent
ly does not affect adult chickens
nor the hatchabillty of eggs. Dr.
Peterson advises poultry men not
to use any flock that has suffer
ed from the disease for hatching
egg supplies.
Motorist Flout Bus Stop
Law, School Head Reports
ONTARIO, Ore., Sept. 6 (.
School Superintendent Arthur
Kiesz has popped up with a fear
that Oregon's new law requiring
motorists to stop for halted schocl
buses is dangerous.
Not that Kiesz objects to the
law, which he thinks a good one.
"The trouble is." he explained,
"that the motorists don't obey
it."
The school superintendent said
one school bus driver reported
only two motorists had stopped
for his loading and unloading bus
so far. All the rest whizzed past
often so fast he couldn't get their
license numbers.
Violators whose licenses are
noted are being turned over to
the state police. Kiesz said the
danger lies in the fact that young
sters, hearing that cars are sup
posed to stop for school bue
now, may not use as much cau
tion upon descending as they did
before.

president, said the 1,900 union
employes recognize that It is in
their interest for the store to
prosper.
the turtle should be fed on ma
rine fish frozen or freshly
caught and fish scraps. They
didn't mention wine.
Han said he would forward to
Seoul all advice received along
with his own suggestion that the
big fellow be returned to the sea
to live another 1,000 years.

Costello May Be
Summoned In
5 Percent Probe
WASHINGTON. Sept. 6.
Senator McCarthy (R.-Wis.) said
today he will insist that Frank
Costello of New York, reputed
"slot machine king," be called as
a witness in the senate investiga
tion of "five percenters."
"I think Costello is a very nec
essary and important witness,"
McCarthy told a reporter.
McCarthy is a member of the
senate Investigations subcommit
tee which has been digging into
the question of whether there has
been improper influence in let
ting of federal contracts. He has
mentioned Costello's name sever
al times during the hearings.
On one occasion, McCarthy ask
ed MaJ. Gen. Harry H. Vaughan,
President Truman's military aide,
whether Vaughan got any cam
paign funds from Costello.
Vaughan said he had never even
heard of Costello and that he was
sure none of the money came
from him.
Today, McCarthy said he wants
to ask Costello "about a number
of things that have cropped up in
the investigation but I can't dis
close them now or it would foul
things up."
The senate hearings are In re
cess now, probably for about a
month. Meantime, the staff and
investigators are running down a
number of tips and collecting data
that may be disclosed later at
public sessions.
Government agencies are mov
ing to shut their doors against
five percenters.
Chairman Hoey (D.-N. C.) of
the senate Investigations subcom
mittee recessed the inquiry while
the staff studies the evidence tak
en thus far.
Mlddltman Now Taboo
The government's chief pur
chasing officer, Jess Larson, as
sured the senators before the
hearings closed that the middle
man In government contracting is
on the way out.
Larson, who heads the new gov
ernment services administration,
testified that he. Secretary of De
fense Johnson and Budget Direc
tor Frank Pace had worked out a
plan to make direct contracting
easier for small businessmen.
Unethical firms will be black
listed and federal employes warn
ed about taking favors, he said,
adding:
"It is my honest opinion that
this procedure, together with the
policy of decentralizing procure
ment and the maintaining of ade
quate, courteous and efficient in
formation centers will cause the
so-called five percenter to wane
and die because there will be no
need for his services."
The term five percenter has
been used to describe those who
seek out government contracts for
others for a fee usually five per
cent. That activity isn't illegal,
but the senate group has been
searching for signs that it In
volved "influence peddling."

Business And Pressure
Groups Forstal Economy
PORTLAND, Sept. 6. (.P)
An alliance of businessmen, pub

economy in government.
That accusation came from
Senator Wayne Morse iR.-Ore.)
here Friday in a speech before
the Oregon Association of Insur
ance Agents.
Every time a budget cut is pro
posed for some government bu
reau, both the bureau and the
public pressure groups begin pro
testing, the senator said.
He called for an end to excise
taxes, which "throttle incentive,"
ind insisted that military spend

Gypsy tradition has interfered
with a Seattle couple's romance.
Lloyd Richard Martin. 29, an
aircraft worker, said he wanted to
marry 16-year-old Emilia George,
a Gypsy girl.
The girl's father, Miller George,
who brought his family from Los
Angeles to a trailer camp here a
week ago, said tribal rules for
bid a girl to marry outside her
group. Besides, he told officers,
she is too young to know her own
mind.
Meanwhile, Martin was charged
to contributing to the delinquency
of a minor. The complaint was
made by the father after the
couple had gone away together.
Martin said the girl told him she
was 20 years old. She listed her

Russian Troops
Invade Iran, Iraq,
Douglas Reports
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. S-fJP)
Every two or three weeks Rus
sian troops invade Iraq and Iran,
says Supreme Court Justice Wil
liam O. Douglas.
He said In an Interview the
Moscow radio had attacked his
recent mountain climbing trip In
the Middle East because of fear
that an American might "find
out what is going on." -
Douglas said a Russian patrol,
or company or battalion pushes
40 or 50 miles Into Iraq or Iran
until It meets another patrol.
Then there are a few shots and
the invaders withdraw, he added.
Asked if there were any pitch
ed battles, he replied that there
were not.
"But there Is shooting." he
said, "and a few men are killed
every week. It is Just part of the
war of nerves."
Douglas said he had not wit
nessed any of such encounters on
his trip but that they were com'
mon knowledge there.
His trip resulted in a Moscow
cry of "spy." Douglas previously
had labeled the Moscow reaction
as nonsense.
The justice said his trip was
purely personal a present to his
17-year-old son. Bill Jr.
He added that the Moscow ra
dio, while they were there, "call
ed me the big devil and my son
the little devil. It pleased him
mightilv."
Douglas spoke before the north
ern California division of the
United World Federalists of
America last night.
