(AP Wirephoto) Two Shy Korean Girls Carry On Allies 'Psy' Warfare in Air Sonnl Korna (Pi The silence of the night over Communist North Korea is broken by the voices of two shy, pigtalled Ko rean girls. Their voices are boomed from a loudspeaker carried by a slow ly circling twin-engined C-47, one of the Allies' psychological warfare planes. The girls, one 19 and the other 21, are members of the team that daily delivers leaflets, broadcasts and a weekly news paper to the Reds. Tracers and anti - aircraft bursts are common sights in the "psy war" aircraft. Both girls have been in planes that were badly hit. Each has flown more than 50 missions. Neither has any idea of quitting. They say they want to do 4(10 missions. American "psy war" pilots are rotated after 75 missions while a fighter pilot must do 100 mis sions to go home. The two girls, whose names must be kept secret, volunteered for their jobs. "We think wc should for our country," one answered bash fully. Their broadcasts are only a small part of the psychological warfare campaign that showers millions of propaganda leaflets on the Reds, scatters broadcasts over strategic spots and each week delivers a million and a half tiny newspapers behind Red lines. The girl alternate on the broadcasts with two Korean men. All have been classified ns war criminals by the Reds. The broadcasts by the girls serve a double purpose. Their voices travel farther over the loudspeaker than a man's and "psy war" figures a girlish voice (ending propaganda messages will do more harm to Red mo rale than a male broadcast. The actual effect of the broadcasts and leaflet drops is a secret but the fliers are happy with their jobs. To see at first hand what the "psy pilots" were up against, AP photographer Fred Waters and I went on a leaflet drop today with Lt. Bill Sweidel of Collingswood, N. J., and Co-Pilot Lt. Judge Brady of San Antonio, Tex. The mission was on five target areas on the front. Five long sweeping passes would be neces sary to get the leaflets where Red soldiers and anil aircraft weapons were known to be. The navigator. Capt. Joseph Polowe Jr., of Batavia. N. Y., figured it would lake the slow C-47 20 minutes to cover the a tual target areas. Altogether, it would be about 45 minutes over Red lines. The Communists sent word when the plane over the front small white shcllbursts appeared below. Polowe pointed out the first target and Sweidel nosed down. Two Koreans whose nami-s also must be kept secret stood calmly at the opened plane door waiting word to start hurling the leaflet packages at the Reds. The Communists recently told their troops the leaflets were contam inated with germs but the Ko rean boys throwing them wore By GEORGE A. Mc ARTHUR no antiseptic masks. Over the first target, and the remaining four, the two Koreans calmly pulled fuses to detonate the packages at 1000 feet and hurled them out at regular in tervals. The plane crew didn't even mention the white bursts marking the sky. They were more interested in an air strike on a nearby hill. Sweidel lazily banked the flight-worn C-47 over the last target area. Finally, flight engineer Staff Sgt. James Hollywood of Brook lyn, N. Y., mesaged the base that the mission was completed and the plane headed back to the lines just as the navigator had said; 45 minutes over Red lines. "We got a little small arms up there but it didn't amount to much," Sweidel said. 'They don't shoot at us much when the fighters are around." "You'll have to talk to the girls when we get back," he added. They sleep all the way to the target and all the way back, They don't ever get scared. Damn nice kids. lodge Elects f wo Delegates Kerby Johnson, newly in stalled president of Thor lodge, Sons of Norway, and Louis Ru- lie were elected delegates to epresent the lodge in the an lual second district convention o be held in Everett, Wash., June 12, 13 and 14.

DIGIT FIGIT Whirlwind I Computes Math Answers at 20,000 a Second Philadelphia (P) A new computing machine which thinks 20,000 times a second was announced at the American In stitute of Electrical Engineers and Institute of Radio Engineers joint meetings. Thinking means that this ma chine can receive, remember and deliver a result on a digit at the almost inconceivable rate of 20, 000 a second. This speed makes it the first virtually instantaneous comput ing machine. It can figure and deliver instructions at an air port for flights of hundreds of planes which might be approach ing the airfield. The machine would plot a safe course for each, that is to keep them from get ting scrambled. The machine is named Whirl wind I. It was developed at the Mas sachusetts Institute of Technolo gy's digital computer laboratory in conjunction witli the office of naval research. It is in use at the institute. Today's report was made by Robert R. Everett, as sociate director, and Norman H. Taylor, in charge of electronic development in the computer la boratory. The memory system Is elec Ironic. The memory is electro static charges in storage tubes. an electron beam flashes across the surface of the tube, which is electrically charged. The beam leaves an electrical spot on the tube. The spot represents a di git, a single number. Another beam flashes repeatedly over this spot, to keep it electrically alive, When the machine gets ready to remember this diget, an elec tron beam sweeps over the spot wipes it off, and conveys it away in the form of an electrical im pulse.

However, Dr. H. V. Allington, associate dermatologist at the University of California, said yesterday that the old supersti tious "cures" for warts have been brought into line with modern medical terminology. He called the procedure "psychotherapy." He told the annual meeting of the American Academy of Der matorogy and Syphilology that doctors have reported a high percentage of cures by blindfold ing a patient, gently touching the warts, and telling the patients the warts will disappear. He said this "psychotherapy" appears to cause a change in cir culation due to psychic influence on the nervous system. The re sult is a psycho-chemical change which combats the wart virus. Allington said that for all he knows the old wives' tale about rubbing bacon rind over warts might even work because not enough scientific knowledge about warts has been acquired to disprove it. What doctors do know, he said, is that the wart is an infection urcr, Willamina. Officers of the Luther league are Miss Lavone Halseth. oresident.
