That Little Old Sod Shanty" in the western song may not be so far fetched, or as indicative of pov erty, as some might think. Engineers who attended meeting of the American So ciety for Testing Materials here were told by Prof. E. J. Kilcaw lcy of Renesselaer Polytechnic Institute that "housebuilding from earth will come as soon as engineers work up standards of construction practices." Kilcawley pointed out that earth construction offers one of the few adequate means of pro tection against radiation in case of atomic attack. Although dirt is man's oldest construction material, Kilcawley said it is the one engineers have known the least about. Formerly, if dirt was to be used in a dam as a river or canal embankment, it was necessary to call in a soil expert who guessed whether the particular earth to be used would stand up. However, instruments are now available which show accurately what a specific sample of earth may lack in durability and, if it isn't just right, ingredients may be added to "stabilize it," as they say in the trade. tion" of star players on his teams. "I won't make an official statement until I confer with uni versity officials," said Rupp when contacted at Plkeville, Ky. University officials on the campus refused comment, and university president Dr. Herman L. Donovan was out of town and could not be reached. The accusations were aimed at Rupp Tuesday In New York by Judge Saul S. Streit in a statement made at the sentenc ing of former Kentucky players Ralph Beard, Alex Groza and Dale Barnstable. The three play ers were given suspended sen tences on game fixing charges as the judge aimed his heaviest criticism at Rupp. Streit charged tht Rupp open ly discussed the gambling "point spread" on games with his play ers, once bawled them out when a friend lost a bet ,and at least once phoned a "notorious book maker" to find out a point spread. "The undisputed facts are that he, Rupp, aided and abetted in the immoral subsidization of the players," said Streit. "With his knowledge, the charges in his care were openly explained, their physical welfare was ne glected, and he utterly failed to build their characters or Install any morals Indeed if he did not impair them." JOKE BACKFIRES Wabash, Ind. (U.R) D avid Wolfrum, 12, joked with the Lin- lawn High School track team here about the hazards of their sport. He asked the older boys if he could stick around and "watch the rough stuff." About 15 minutes later he was hospital ized for injuries received when he was hit in the head by an eight pound lead ball used in the shot put. RECORD LITTER SPOILED Clinton, Miss. (U.R) A sow owned by Bilbo Hemphill gave birth to a litter of 20 pigs but the sow, In the excitement over her record litter, crushed 11 of them. Wednesday, April 30. 1952 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NINE .... RIDGWAY TO SUCCEED IKE-Prcsident Truman ias appointed Gen. Matthew Riilgway (left) to succeed Gen. Dwight D. Eisen hower as supreme Allied commander in Europe and named Gen. Mark W. Clark (right) to replace Ridgway in the Far East. Above, Ridgway, then commanding general of the U. S. 8th Army, is pictured mapping out campaign strategy with Gen. Clark, then chief of field forces, during 1951 meeting at Korea's Suwon Airport. Girls Distracting In Civil War Days New York (U.R) Billy Yank, the GI of Civil War days, found girls distracting too. A soldier's diary quoted in "The Life of Billy Yank: The Com mon Soldier of the Union," by notes, "A pair of Secesh (Seces sion) damsels promenade up and down the island opposite our post ... I call Scrgt. Wakefield down to the river bank and he goes into ecstasies at the sight of the fair ones, and sighs, 'oh this war.' " On the other hand one Yank described Southern women as "sharp-nosed, tobacco - chewing, snuff rubbing, flax- headed, hntchet-faced, yellow-eyed, sallow-skinned, cotton-dressed, flat- famous ROOSTER TAKES RIDE Omaha, Neb (U.R) Jack Sim ons, a truck driver, arrived here from a 500-mile jaunt from Ber ryville, Ark., and found a rooster which had perched on the truck's rear axle in a Bcrryville poultry yard still there.

Like GI Joe, Billy Yank some times took a dim view of offi cers: "1 am well convinced in my own mind that had it not been for officers this war would have ended long ago." However, the attitude toward the Army Medical Corps has changed considerably nowadays. Dr. Wiley, after studying thou' sands of letters and diaries, found that an all-too-prevalent attitude was: "If a fellow has to (go to the) hospital, you might as well say good-bye. STILL GRATEFUL Grapevine, Tex. (U.R) Albert H. Graves, a veteran of both world wars, finally got a medal from one of them 33 years late. A citation of gratitude was sign ed by the president of France and the mayor of Salnt-Mihiel. A letter explained that Graves was one of 100 Texans selected to receive the medal for liberat ing the French city during a bit ter World War I battle. FIR TRUCK FLATS OUT Mineral Wells, Tex.
