DAYTON, O. P PiCKets marched and shouted "scab" Thursday but no heads were cracked at the strike-bound Uni vis Lens Co. plant. With 164 policemen in tight lines .on duty, the expected vio lence did not materialize as the eye glass company reopened its plant for the fourth consecutive day. j A mass picket line representa tive of all CIO locals in Montgom ery County was at the plant. Police Chief Rudolph Wurstner reported there were 189 men and women on the moving picket line and about 3300 spectators at the north side factory. By 8:15 a.m. police said 431 of the plant s 700 production workers had entered unmolested but with jeers of "scab" and "skunk" fol lowing them to their benches, Husky Lou Kaplan, internation al organizer of the striking CIO United Electrical Workers, local 768, directed three picket lines de spite a court order barring mm from the vicinity of the plant. Kaplan said he had not been served with the order. He wore a patch on his head and a fractured finger suffered in Wednesday's melee was in splints. Haranguing the crowd from aj union sound truck, across the f street from the factory Kaplan shouted: 1 "You are witnessing the results! of one of the most vicious laws, the Taft-Hartley law. "One officer gave an order yes terday to kill me." The pickets were colorfully clad. There were girls in slacks and denim shorts. The men wore work clothes or sports attire.

This amounted to full repudia. tion of recent attacks on Tito by the Cominform the international bureau which accused the Yugo slav leader and his lieutenants of deviating from the Marxist line. The first task of the new 63- man central committee will be to elect officers and it is believed Tito will be reelected the party's general secretary. The Cominform had asked Yugoslav Communists to repudiate Tito. Balloting on the committee list went on all night, as the last item of business on the week-long par ty congress, at which speakers re peatedly announced their support for Tito in defiance of the Rus sian-dominated Cominform. By ELTON C. FAY WASHINGTON (P) The1 United States is exploring the pos sibility of using the weather as a military weapon. . Secrecy as deep as that sur rounding the atom bomb and germ warfare development cloaks these studies of "meteorological warfare." Officials of the armed forces aiNl national defense organization have declined to discuss the project or disclose what progress research ers have made. However, a reecnt paper pub lished in London by "the Interna tional Committee for Study of European Questions mentioned military developments of various nations and had this to say of the United States: "She has got well ahead with her studies of bacteriological war fare and meteorological warfare, The latter is likely to become the most destructive of all." What military scientists want is a method of controlling the weather and directing its effect on an enemy nation. Such control would offer various possibilities, not the least of which would be the ability to create droughts and thus destroy the food supply of a nation. This if attainable would be a form of strategic warfare ranking alongside existing methods for destroying a nation's munitions factories by air bombing. In World War II some infre quent and small-scale attacks were made on growing crops Register-Guard, Eugene, Ore, Thurg., July 29, 1948, Page 13 Crossing Accident : Kills 3 al Gervais PORTLAND W An automobile-train collision near Ger vais killed three persons Wednes day night. The dead, occupants of the automobile, were: Robert V. Pit cher, 40, Woodburn, the driver; and Joyce and Joan Rentz, 8-year-old twin daughters of Mrs. Marie Rentz, Gervais.

Germany through the use of In cendiany bombs to light fields of ripened grain. On a still smaller scale, there were occasional oil spraying attacks, mainly nuisance raids, on gardens of Japanese oc cupying forces. But these efforts in no way were on anything re semDiing a strategic scale. If scientists can develop the cloud seeding" experiments al ready conducted they may be able to turn loose drought or flood at will. lima, Peru was the home of Saint Rose the first native inhabi tant of the America's to be canon ized.
