FBI Objects to
Getting 'Police
State' Powers
Washington, March n-ttv
The department of justice today
expressed crave concern over a
congressional proposal which It
said mlfht lay the FBI open to
, criticism aa a "state police organi
zation." The plan, already approved "by
the house, would require. the FBI
to pass Judgment on the loyalty of
4ome government employes. Hith
erto It has merely investigated
loyalty cases, without j drawing
conclusions of its own.
Peyton Ford, assistant! to IT. S.
Attorney McGrath, said he re
flected the views of FBI Chief J.
Edgar Hoover and Secretary of
Defense Johnson in declaring:
"The proposal is fraught with
. peril, not only to the bureau, but
!also to the country itself."

mittee that the FBI is now solely
an "investigative and fact-gatner-ing"
agency which submits reports
without any attempt to evaluate
the data turned up in its investi
gations or to make recommenda
tions. But the FBI's entire character
would be changed. Ford said, by
house-approved amendments to the
national science foundation bill.
Radical Change
"Should they be enacted into
law," he said, "they would not
only effect an extremely radical
and undesirably change in the
basic responsibilities and functions
of the federal bureau of investiga
tion, but also, in my opinion,
would bring about a departure
from American concepts of justice
and democratic government."
The proposed amendments would
require the FBI to make' a de
finite finding as to the loyalty or
disloyalty of any person employed
by the foundation or awarded one
of its scholarships.
House members said the amend
ments were designed to weed out
communists and subversive sus
pects from federal research pro
jects connected with A-bombs and
other advanced weapons of modern
warfare.

Synthetic Cat '
Survives Hot
Brick Kiln
MINERVA, 0 March 17-W-A
synthetic cat came out of a brick
kiln today with its rear-end
scorched, but still a bundle of flesh
and fur.
It thereby, experimenters said,
proved the greatest hot-foot story
in the history of Minerva:
The tale of Miracle, a living and
breathing Calico cat which sur
vived 38 hours in a kiln heated to
900 degrees.
Miracle's prefabricated counter
part a sirloin steak wrapped in
a sealskin hat was submitted to
a similar ordeaL At the end of 36
hours, the steak still was juicy and
the hat fur soft.
One end was charred. That was
the farthest in the furnace, where
the tail of the real cat presumably
once lay. An inch and a half of
Miracle's tail was burned off.
-Now They'll Believe"
"Now," exclaimed the brick
plant superintendent as the test
was concluded, "maybe they'll be
lieve we're not a bunch of liars."
The superintendent, Joe Bucola,
was the first person to relate the
tale of Minerva's fire-resistant cat
He was there, he said, when she
staggered out of the kiln March 5 i
after being locked in accidentally.
Miracle, minus part of her tail,
also had singed fur, and her paws
were badly burned.
Bucola and Dr. William Orr, a
Minerva 'Veterinarian, both stout
ly defended the story of Miracle.
Dr. Walter R. KrilL, dean of the
veterinary college at Ohio State
university, ridiculed it.
Devise ake Cat
' The doubting Thomases inspired
Mrs. TwilajCarman to devise the
pre-fabricated cat. She is the Min
erva correspondent for the Can
ton Repository, who relayed the
tale to the world.
Said Mrs. Carman after exam
ing the steak-and-fur cat today:
"I think this shows that the real
cat could have lived.
"I think this was a very severe
test, for the cat is living tissue
and living tissue would withstand
the heat much better than the
materials used in the test"
Would Have Bumped Door
"Besides, I put the synthetic cat
a good six inches into the kiln.
The real cat could have hovered
beside the door and acquired fresh
air by bumping the door. This
time, we had the door sealed."
A thermometer, wrapped in the
synthetic cat still registered 320
degrees hours after the kiln's heat
had been turned down.
Actually only a few citizens here
and a couple of letter writers came
right out and doubted "Miracle's"
story.
Miracle's story prompted get-
wen cards and catnip.
"Miracle," herself, too took pos
itions on the whole thing:
She either laid on her back, or
sat on her burned-off tail and held
all four feet in the air.

Pay Parade in New York City
NEW YORK, March 17-CaVThe sun shone bright on the sons and
daughters of St. Patrick today.
And while 2,000,000 spectators cheered, some 100,000 men, women
and children marched up Fifth avenue in the greatest parade ever to
honor Ireland's patron here or anywhere else.
It was an eye-dazzling procession that ran through the color
spectrum from police blue to the
gayest shades of Kelly green.
Mounted policemen, capped
and-gowned college students,
women in gleaming white, brilliantly-clad
bandsmen, bouncing
majorettes these were only the
beginning.
In springlike weather, the
crowds surged against wooden
barriers along the two and one
half mile line of march. Paper
cascaded down from tall buildings.
Twice in their march toward
Central park the paraders paused
once at St Patrick's cathedral,
where Catholic church dignitaries
reviewed them, and again at 64th
street, where Mayor William
O'Dwyer and other city officials
formed a separate reviewing
party.
O'Dwyer, a sprig of shamrock
in the lapel of his dark overcoat,
was saddened for a while. He'd
just heard that a St. Patrick's
parade in Northern Ireland had
been banned.
Said O'Dwyer-wf Northern Ire
land's prime minister, Sir Besfl
Brooks:
"He'll be coming here in a
month and hell be one official
who will not be welcomed at city
hall, and if he is ltH be because
I'm dead."

Beaten Parts of
Corpse Found
By Chicagoans
CHICAGO. March 17 -UP)- Car
penters found two "bundles" in a
snow-flecked ditch today that
turned out to be the severed sec
tions of a man clubbed, shot and
cut in two.
The victim's description fitted
that of a missing Terre Haute,
Ind.. businessman who usually
carried large sums of money.
The "killing and mutilation ap
peared to be one of the most bru
tal in the city's history.
The victim's hands were bound
in front with rope. A bullet had
passed through his chest. There
was a bruise on the head. Indica
ting he had been blackjacked. The
body was severed above the waist
The upper part of the body was
bundled up in a quilt that was
tied over the head with ropes and
wires. The belt on the lower half
of the body was pulled so tight
the trousers were closed, sack
like. Put en Train Tracks
Police theorized the victim had
been slugged, shot, placed on a
railroad track and then wrapped
up after the tram passed over him.
The body was found near the Il
linois Central, railroad tracks in
Rich township, a south side sub
urb. Detectives Joseph Karns and
Walter McCarthy said the victim's
navy blue belt bore the stenciled
name T. J. Grob. A card in the
pocket read, "Willis Window
Cleaning service, fully insured,
218 Tune building, phone C-3760."
Detective Sgt. James Evelo of
Terre Haute advised Chicago pol
ice that the victim resembled Wil
liam Baldwin, 51, who disappeared
there Monday. Terre Haute is 177
miles south of Chicago.
Clues Gives
There Is a Tune buildinc in
Terre Haute, where Baldwin op
erated the William Window Clean
ing service. The Terre Haute
phone Crawford 3760 is held by
Mrs. Fred Wilkie. ODerator of a
rooming house where Baldwin
resided. The Rev. T. J. Grob op
erates uooa win industries in
Terre Haute. Evelo said Baldwin
may have bought the belt from
that organization.
Mrs. Wilkie. said she feared for
Baldwin's safety because he car
ried large sums of money with
him, usually in two pouches. She
said she did not know the source
of his money. She reported he had
no visitors at his room recently
except talesman who called
aoout two weeks ago.
