M'ARTHUR SAYS
NIP DEATH RAY
ILEHABBITS
Only Made Humans Tired
And Dizzy Million Yen
Spent To Perfect Device
Tokyo, Sunday, Oct. 7 (U.R)
Gen. Douglas MacArthur, su
preme Allied commander, an
nounced today the Japanese
scientists had perfected a death
ray which killed rabbits at about
40 yards but left humans only
dizzied and fatigued for 12 to 24
hours.
American research officers,
who discovered the fabled death
ray said it killed rabbits who
bathed in its light for 10 min
utes. The Japs, they said, tried
the ray on humans for brief
periods with the result that the
human guinea pigs became
"dizzy and fatigued."
The effects lasted for from 12
to 24 hours depending upon the
length of the bath, they said.
' The Japanese worked on the
ray for five and one-half years
with results so promising that
the government appropriated 1.
000,000 yen in 1945 to continue
its development.
The ray works on the principle
that very short radio waves nan
be focused in a beam of power
which will cause physiological
effects in mammals resulting in
death.
The apparatus includes an an
tenna placed at the focus of a
reflector. The deadly waves are
focused by the reflector at the
subject.
Rabbits, groundhogs and mon
keys were used in experiments,
the ray causing hemorrhage of
the lungs and destruction of the
brain cells.
The Japs also found the rays
would stop combustion engines
by pre-igniting th.e combustion
chamber great advantage
against enemy planes but only
when the range was extremely
short and when the engine was
unshielded.
American scientific investiga
tors were extremely skeptical of
the ray's possibilities and said
"a tremendous advance in tech
niques would have to be made
before the death ray would be
come of any value as a military
weapon."
At the end of the war, J 16
Japanese scientists were work
ing to perfect the ray, the re
search on which began in N'o
borito in the Ninth miliiary
technical laboratories.
The tube supplying the power
to the death ray was described
by the American investigators as
"more powerful" than any
known in present operation. It
used a wave length of 80 centi
meters. Chicago. Oct. 6 (U.R) The
1945 World Series, regardless of
the number of games, was prac
tically certain tonight to set a
new all-time record In player
receipts.
The players' share at the end
of today's game was 8445,714.50,
while the all-time record is
S488.005.74, set during the five
game scries in 1941 between the
Dodgers and Yankees.
Although the players do not
receive any cut from the remain
ing games, they do receive part
of the radio receipts. The radio
is expected to add about $100.
000 to the scries jackpot and the
players receive four-sixths of the 1
total if the series goes six games i
and-our-sevenths of the total if
the series goes seven.
The individual player cuts al- j
so probably will surpass all pre
vious records since it has ba;n
reported that both the Tigers
and Cubs voted between 30 and I
35 full shares. The winning
team receives 60 per cent of the j
total player share and the !is
ing team, 40 per cent. j

129 Schools Listed For In
terim Courses Vets Get
Preference
Washington, Oct. 6-U.R) The
war department tonight author
ized resumption of advance
ROTC courses in 129 colleges
and universities as part of a new
"interim" ROTC program. .
The interim program will con
tinue until the postwar size of
the army is determined and a
permanent ROTC program can
be installed.
Colleges and universities
which had advance course units
on March 1, 1943, except those
schools which had only medical
corps units, may re-establish
their advance courses at the be
ginning of any semester or term
after arrangements are made
with the commanding general of
their respective service com
mand. During the present school year
most of the enrollment in the
advance courses will be veterans,
since selective service is taking
18-year-olds.
Qualified veterans will re
ceive approximately $370 during
the two-year course, based on
the present daily cash value of
the garrison ration, and will re
ceive between $70 and $75 while
attending a six-week ROTC sum
mer camp between the first and
second years.
These inducements are in ad
dition to those received by ,et
erans attending college under the
G. I. bill of rights.
Upon graduation from the ad
vance course, students will be
appointed second lieutenants in
the reserve. Enrollees in the ad
vance course must be between
19 and 26.
VISIT RED PORT
San Francisco, Oct. 6 (U.R)
In one of the rare official allied
visits to a Chinese communist
area, five United States cruisers
under command of Adm. Daniel
Ed Barbey steamed into the
Chinese port of Chefoo to survey
what NBC and Newsweek Cor
respondent Robert Shaplcn term
ed a "very ticklish situation."
In a broadcast heard tonight
in San Francisco by United
Press, Shaplen reported from
aboard one of the vessels that
the landing party is "ready for
anything."
Chefoo, the only communist
held port in China, is "one which
Chiang Kai-Shek would very
much like to hold," Shaplcn said,
but he deemed it unlikely that
the communists would surrender
the city to Chiang's forces.

Senate Committee Report
Shows They Made Possi
ble Hitler's Rise
Washington, Oct. 6 (U.R) A
senate subcommittee recom
mended tonight at 42 German
industrialists be punished as war
criminals for helping produce
instruments for aggression.
The military affairs subcom
mittee headed by Sen. Harley
M. Kilgore, D., W. Va., based its
recommendation on reports sub
mitted by the treasury depart
ment after a study of Germany's
financial and industrial prepara
tions for war.
"The facts clearly implicate
these industrialists in the crimes
committed against the peonies of
many nations by the nazis in
their quest for world domina
tion." Kilgore said as he made
public the subcommittee hear
ings. "They show further that these
industrialists, far from joining
the nazi bandwagon in the last
days in order to safeguard their
persons and properties, were
from the very inception of the
nazi party its enthusiastic sup
porters. Their assistance made
possible the nazi seizure of pow
er, they directed the conversion
of the economy to war, and in
governmental or semi-official in
dustrial posts they managed Ger
many's production of the instru
ments for aggression.
Kilgore noted that the treas
ury submitted reports on 43 in
dustrialists but one Gustav
Krupp von Bohlen already was
listed as a war criminal.
"I trust that the others will be
included in subsequent lists since
their activities, though perhaps
in some instances less spectacu
lar than those of Krupp place
them definitely in the same cate
gory." Kilgore said. "They are
by no means the 'neutral' busi
nessmen they would have the al
lies believe."
Among those named by the
treasury was 80-year-old Dr. Al
fred Hugenberg, sometimes call
ed "the giant shadow over Hit
ler," and chairman of the board
of the Krupp works during the
first world war.

CIO CHIEFS AND
OPERATORS PLOT
TO
Carpenters' Union Head
Charges Collusion Sai
lors Support A F of L
Portland, Ore.. Oct. 6 (U.R)
CIO officials and lumber opera
tors were charged today with col
lusion to break a five-state AFL
lumber strike in a joint declara
tion by Frank Chapman, general
representative of the Brother
hood of Carpenters and Joiners
and John Christenson, strike pol
icy committee chairman.
Warning that the ClO-operator
combine may come out with a
phony wage settlement that will
"jeopardize our fight for decent
wage conditions for all workers,
whether AFL or CIO, Chapman
and Christenson said they had
"just begun to fight and the lum
ber industry is going to remain
down tight."
The strike leaders declared
that 'even though the CIO opera
tor combine has resorted to in
junctions in an effort to keep
the mills open, our imaginary
picket line still remains and our
allies in the AFL will consider
all lumber so produced as unfair
to organized labor."
Already assurances have been
given to the Northwestern Coun
cil of Lumber and Sawmill
Workers by the Sailors union of
the Pacific that its members will
no longer sail ships into any har
bor to pick up lumber. The sai
lors, it was added, will continue
to observe AFL picket lines, real
and imaginary.
Meanwhile it was disclosed
that injunction writs banning
AFL picket lines from the big
St. Paul and Tacoma lumber mill
at Tacoma and the White River
Lumber company at Enumclaw,
Wash., had been issued.
It was also announced that ne
gotiations between the Interna
tional Woodworkers ot America
and operators b e f o r e George
Brewer, United Slates concilia
tor, the last two days, had bi'cn
recessed until Thursday. The
IWA is asking a wage raise of
25 cents hourly "across the
board," while some 61,000 AFL
lumbers workers arc requesting
a $1.10 an hour minimum wage.
FIRST TAX SLASH
IN YEARS BUOYS
NATIONAL TRADE
New York, Oct. 6 (U.R) The
nation's first tax-reduction bill
in almost 15 years moved a step
nearer the statute books this
week and the promise of tax re
lief in 1946 helped the stock
market rise more than a half bil
lion dollars to a new high since
March, 17, 1937.
Agreement by the house ways
and means committee on a com
promise tax bill cutting the cor
poration excess profits tax on
Jan. 1 and reducing taxes on in
dividuals by at least 10 per cent
outweighed concern over the un
settled labor situation.
Uncertainty over the Indus
trial outlook was allayed by as
sertion of the National City Bank
of New York that industry's out
standing current problem not un
employment, but a shortage of
workers in front-rank industries.
The bank said that pessimistic
predictions of 8,000,000 to 10,
000,000 unemployed six to eight
weeks after V-J day "enormous
ly overshot the mark."
Billings, Mont., Oct. 6 'U.R)
The city of Billings was placed

persons, proving fatal to seven.
The city board of health sairl
a "public health emergency had j
arisen" and ordered all schools
closed and the cessation of public
meetings.
"It is. hereby ordered." the
board's announcement said, "that
until further notice all youths
under 18 years of age are quar
antined and required to stay
upon their own premises and are
forbidden to go upon the streets
or on any prer.r. -.'S except those
upon which they reside."
Baby Foils Thief
Portland, Ore., Oct. 6 (U.R)
Howling babies at the mid
night hour do come in handy
at times sometimes.
When a thief attempted to
rob the home of Clement D.
Johnson of Portland Friday
night. Johnson was awakened
by the sound of his baby cry
ing. He then discovered that
t h e intruder had poured
chloroform over the foot of
his bed in an attempt to
guarantee quiet while he
worked.
The howling baby spoiled
the quiet sequence and the
would-be thief fled.
ESPEE ANNOUNCES
RESTORATION OE
TRAINS TO
Immediate Service From
Grants Pass To San Fran
cisco Opened
To speed up the handling of
mail and express by as much as
18 hours to and from certain
communities in southern Oregon
and San Francisco bay area,
Southern Pacific announces the
immediate restoration of through
passenger train service between
San Francisco and Grants Pass,
Ore.
This move re-establishes trains
7 and 8, the Shasta, on the run
between Dunsmuir and Grants
Pass, which service was discon
tinued Jan. 12, 194Z, when South
ern Pacific suspended many
trains over its system to make
equipment and crews available
for pressing war needs, accord
ing to Claude E. Peterson, vice
president in charge of system
passenger traffic.
Pending the lifting of ODT re
strictions on the use of sleeping
cars In runs of 450 miles or less,
equipment of trains 7 and 8 will
consist of a through mail-express-bagg.igo
car and Coach between
San Francisco and Grants Pass
and n cafe-loungo car between
Dunsmuir and Grants Pass.
Pointing out that this is the
first restoration of train service
curtailed by the war, Peterson
said that the standard Pullman
sleeper would be added as soon
as ODT regulations permit.
"Pending restoration of the
sleeper, we feel that our friends
in southern Oregon will be bet
ter served by making the con-
nection northbound at Dunsmuir
with the Klamath instead of the
Oregonian as previously an
nounced on Sept. 26," Peterson
said.
LAVAL WALKS OUT
OF OWN TRIAL IN
RIOTOUS SESSION
Paris, Oct. 6 (U.R) With a
riotous session In which Judge,
prosecutor, defendant, attorneys
and even the jurors screamed in
anger, Pierre Laval tonay
walked out of his own treason
trial, saying it was a "judicinl
crime" which wag denying him
the right to present a defense.
The infuriated former Vichy
premier, who had been cursed
by jurors and ejected for a sec
ond time, refused to return to
the courtroom and Court Pres
ident Pierre Mongibcaux ord
ered the trial continued without
cither he or his attorneys pre
sent. With the defense refusing to
participate, it appeared that the
trial would be concluded in a
few days and seemed certain
that the hostile jury would .send
before a firing squad the crafty
politician accused of selling out
his country to the Germans and
helping them In their war lor
world dominance.

B-ENGINED SUPER
LUXURY AIRLINER
NOW BEING BUILTi
XC-9 Will Carry 204 Pas
sengers Is 186 Feet
Long, Travel 340 MPH
San Diego, Cal., Oct. 6 (U.R)
A six-engine aerial colossus
that dwarfs any plane ever built
was publicly presented today for
the first time by Consolidated
Vultee Aircraft Corp. as one ol
its new reconversion products.
This huge plane, which will
carry 204 passengers as a luxury
air-liner or 400 soldiers ns a
troop transport, is not just an
engineer's dream or a blueprint
ship. The first model is now be
ing built.
Consolidated. officials, with the
permission of the army, permit
ted 18 newspaper correspondents
to view the military version of
the plane now under construc
tion. The military version, the XC
99, is being built in two parts
the forward section and the rear
section set up side by side on
big welded jigs. The fuselage,
which will have two decks, is
well along toward completion.
When finally assembled, the
plane will be 186 feet long and
have a wing span of 230 feet.
It will have six engines of 3,000
horsepower each installed In the
trailing edge of the wing to
"push." rather than pull, the
overall load capacity of 265,000
pounds.
Some airways already have or
dered several of the new type
super-luxury airliners.
But the company, which pro
duced more than 30,000 plnnes
during the war, isn't placing all
its reconversion eggs in one bas
ket. The newsmen who are making
a rouud-the-nation tour of major
Industries, were shown a full
scale wooden mock-up of a new
30-passenger plane for regular
domestic airline service; a four
engincd Liberator plane equip
ped with a jet propulsion engine
for extra speed; and other ex
perimental projects which can
not yet be disclosed.
The gross weight of the super
luxury airliner will be 320,000
pounds and it will carry a use
ful load of 155,900 pounds.
A flight crew of six will man
the plane, capable of traveling
at a cruising speed of 340 miles
per hour, faster than the fastest
commercial planes now in serv
ice. It will have a maximum
range of 4200 miles.
