men, members of the 813rd en
gineers' battalion, obtained the
fluid from the battalion motor
pool.

effects of drinking the fluid
sometimes were not apparent for
24 to 48 hours.

McCoy's parents and his es

Theater Man Refuses
To Cut 'Bicycle Thief
Portland, Ore., May 23 U.R)
Martin Foster, manager of Port
land's Guild theater, refused to
day to give up his fight to show
an uncut version of the acad
emy award-winning Italian film,
"The Bicycle Thief."
Foster said he would hold a
private showing of the film for
''the most prominent citizens of
Portland" to see whether they
believe it should be shown.
The theater manager said he
was also attempting to arrange a
re-review of the picture by the
municipal board of review,
which last week banned its
showing here unless certain
scenes were cut.
Foster said he would take the
matter to the city council if the
board refused to alter its deci
sion. He refused to cut the "of
fending" scenes.
