Art Students
Made Too Much
Whoopee, Claim
By Eugene S. Staple
(tJnlll Vrms Hurt Corrvpondrnl)
San MlRi'el Allende, Mexico IP
The American students with their
blue Jeans, crew cuts and pretty
wives are Rone from this centuries-old
art colony, and most
of the townspeople are glad of it.
The Eood neiRhbor policy had
become somewhat strained In this
town of steep, cobble-stoned
streets 150 miles north of Mexico
City
The U. S. veterans administra
tion withdrew its support from
the San Miguel art school offici
ally because the school had clos
ed. But it was almost certain, au
thoritative sources said, that an
extensive investigation of the
school and its students would
have been carried out if the school
had remained open.
The vacation was opportune. A
U.S. veteran killed another ex-GI
In a fight over a girl the week be
fore the U. S. decision was an
nounced. The uninhibited con
duct of U. S. students in the
streets and bars had caused mur
murs of protest from the old-fashioned
Mexican families who live
in this typical colonial town.
Revenue Cut Off
Most of the students, predom
inantly veterans, are gone. They
had to leave when the VA sent
its last checks. Some of the more
"serious" have transferred, with
VA approval, to other art schools.
Many have gone back to the
United States.
One, Donald McHugh, 26, of
Brooklyn, is still here in jail.
He is charged with' homicide in
the slaying of Leonard Zurnls.
24, also of Brooklyn, during a
drunken fight over McHugh's 23-year-old
wife.
Zurnis' death was the climax of
what townespeople considered a
year of gradual moral breakdown
in the student body.
Painter Objects
The school Itsef was the object
of a bitter campaign sponsored by
the "Little Colonel" of Mexican
art, David Siqueiros, one of Mex
ico's three great muralists. Si
queiros and his cohorts charged
the school administration with
"commercialism" and "discrimin
ation." Siquerios also said there
were no competent teachers.
The Mexican government, at
least, agreed and the school closed
July 28.
The week before it closed was.
for most of the 200-odd exGIs
and their wives and girls, a "glor
ious time," an ex-student said. He
described the nights as full of
wine, women and song.
Townspeople claim the decline
of the school began from the date
St nrst received world-wide pub
licity in a U. S. picture magazine.
The school then had some 100
U. S. students, mostly veterans
and mostly serious. From that
time on, it grew like a Mexican
Topsy. The "serious" element in
the student body became a minor
ity, a resident said.
"Dog days" are not in reality
"mad dog days" because rabies
is actually a year-round disease.

Mother Released
From Jail, After
She Obeys Court
Salt Lake Citv, Utah. Aug. 15
ail Mrs. Nettie W. Capps. 53-year-old
Cold Star mother, was
out of jail today but determined
to carry on a legal battle to com
ply with her soldier son's last
request before he was killed.
Mrs. Capps purged herself of
contempt of court by giving in
to a district court's order that
benefits from the government in
surance of her son, Jacob, be
turned over to a trust fund for
his minor children.
She handed Judge Rav Van
Cott Jr. a certified check for
$1,200 to put into the trust fund.
She also took back a state
ment that placed her in contempt
ami recognized tne court s ruling
that a bank trustee should ad
minister the insurance benefits.
Refused To Comply
Mrs. Capps had gone to ioil
rather than comply with the
court's order. She said her son
had told her in one of his last
letters never to permit the money
to go to his wife, from whom
he was estranged. His widow has
since remarried for the third time
and lives with her husband and
three children at Ooeanside. Calif.
In obeying her son's request,
Mrs. Capps had returned the in
surance benefits to the veterans
administration rather than turn
it over to the trustee. -'
Although she obeyed the court
order so she could leave jail and
return to her home at Bountiful,
Utah, she would carry on her
legal fight.
Mrs. Eleanor Boyd, president of
the American Gold Star Mothers.
Inc., said plans were being made
to raise a defense fund to fight
the-state.
Mrs. Boyd, who came here
from her home in Long Beach,
Calif., said the Gold Star Mothers
would do everything legally pos
sible to support Mrs. Capps.
Sick War Veteran
Taken to Portland
A sick veteran, William K.
Mathew, 35, reportedly prostrat
ed by a kidney ailment in a tran
sient camp south of the city, was
Drought into Bend for treatment
at Hemingway clinic, and then
sent by bus to Portland to the
veterans administration hospital
there.
Mrs. Lillian Millsap, director of
the Bend chapter of American
Red Cross, said she was notified
Saturday morning of the man's
condition. Accompanied by police
officials, she visited the sick ex-
soldier and supervised his care
until his arrival in Portland.
The ailment has been recurrent
since his discharge, he told Mrs.
Millsap.

DRIVING HOME A POINT For years teachers have been
pounding facts into their students' heads, but here the process is
reversed. Edna EUyson, of Cowen, W. Va., a science fellow nt
Case Institute of Technology In Cleveland, O., pounds on the head
of her physics professor, Dr. Richard Sutton. The wood block
into which Edna drives the nail rests on a 50-pound chunk of iron
atop the prof's head. The inertia of the iron serves as a cushion
which protects Sutton from feeling the blows of the hammer.
Hamsters Assist
In Tooth Research
Minneapolis. Minn. IP Civili
zation In the form of a toothbrush
has come to a group of furry little
Syrian hamsters.
The. benefactors, it is hoped,
will be human beings suffering
from tooth decay and gum infec
tions. Dr. David F. Mitchell, Univer
sity of Minnesota associate pro
fessor of dentistry, is preparing
several groups of hamsters to
study the effects of various chem
icals on the development of peri
odontal diseases (gum infections)
and dental caries (tooth decay).
Twiee-a-day brushing of the little
rodents' teeth is planned.
Dr. Mitchell said the hamsters
have teeth which are miniatures
of human ones. The furry animals
were subject to earlier published
research by him while at the Uni
versity of Rochester, N.Y.
Earlier findings, most of which
"suggested other lines of study."
include some of the. following con
clusions which Dr. Mitchell be
lieves pertinent to human teeth:
A high carbohydrate diet
(meats) introduces cavities faster
with increased age..
Size of food particles makes
little difference.
Sanitary eating habits don't
seem to decrease incidence of
decay.
Hypothyroid conditions seem to
have little effect, contrary to pop
ular belief.
Dr. Mitchell's tooth-brus h i n g
chores will aim at determining
the effectiveness of ammonium,
urea, and chlorophy.ll in prevent
ing decay. .
