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.

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.

Specialist Believes Some
'Cures' for Warts Really Work
Ground Broken
For New Church
Willamina Ground break
ing services for the new Em
manuel Lutheran church of Wil
lamina were held Sunday, April
20. Dr. L. H. Steinhoff, presi
dent of the Pacific synod of the
United Lutheran church in Am
erica, gave the address at the
regular church services at 11:00
a.m. at the VFW hall. He also
spoke at the 3 p.m. ground
breaking service, when his topic
was "A Tree on a Hillside."
At the service on the church
lot, the ground was broken in
the shape of a cross. All the
members of the church council
will turn a spade full of earth,
along with the officers of the
Women's Missionary society and
the Luther league.
Members of the church council
are: The pastor and president,
Rev. Warren W. Pechman; Har
vey Westby, vice president,
Sheridan; Mrs. Lawrence John

Chicago U.R A prominent
skin specialist says he believes
some of the "hocus pocus" treat
ments for curing warts may
really work.
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
