SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday, NoYmbr 20, 195S Revoluitonary Drugs Used In Narcotics Disclosed San Francisco U.R) De velopment of two revolutionary drugs for use in combatting nar cotics was disclosed Saturday at a U.S. Senate investigating sub committee. The subcommittee ended two days of hearings and its chair man, Sen. Price Daniel (D-Tex.J, departed immediately for Chi cago where he will continue the hearing Monday. Existence of the two drugs was discosed by F. L. Braumoel ler, California Bureau of Nar cotics agent,' who said their use can be a "potent weapon" in fighting narcotics addiction. The two drugs, are nalline, which detects the presence of narcotics up to five days after use, and thorazine, which re lieves heroin addicts of all pain usually suffered during with drawal from narcotics use. Braumoeller said research on the two drugs is being done by Dr. James G. Terry of the Ala meda' County Rehabilitation Center and results of his studies will be published soon in a scientific journal. "As a result of these studies," Braumoeller said, "we feel that ralline can become a potent weapon in the battle against narcotics addiction and thora zine can be an important drug in physically curing a drug ad dict." Braumoeller said the nalline test for addiction could be ad ministered in 15 minutes and yields "a dramatic response, negatively, positively and accurately." Nalline "can be used to de tect addiction or the degree of the use of narcotics, thus giving lor the first time competent, positive evidence to law en cforcement officers and the courts," Braumoeller told the subcommittee. Earlier, two witnesses describ- Concrete Wall Falls; Said Safe Recently Portland U.R) A con crete retaining wall collapsed with a raor here Friday night, jarring nearby homes like an earthquake. Police said the wall was about 12 feet tall and 75 feet long, and attributed the collapse to the recent freeze and thaw. The cement slabs tore out ut ility guy wires and allowed tons of earth to spill out from the two-story house owned by Mrs. Constance Haydon. Police said dozens of nearby residents, telephoned to report an explosion, while other said there had been an earthquake. One woman said the jar knock ed china from a shelf in her closet. Mrs. Haydon said a building Inspector had recently declared the leaning wall was safe. ed a multi-million dollar nar cotics ring operated between Hong Kong and San Francisco by Judah Ezra, Red China con tact man in Hong Kong. The witnesses, Chief Nar cotics Inspector Lee Speer and Mrs. Cecile Marie Waltman Songstad, said Frank Saulter, described as a former Bay Area narcotics wholesaler, was the Ezra contact in San Francisco. Saluter invoked the Fifth Am endment and refused to answer questions about the internation al ring. Search For Missing Pilot of Jet Plane Halted Near Newark Newark, O. U.R) Search parties were ordered to stop scouring this area last night af ter officials at Lockbourne Air Force Base near Columbus, O., decided that the missing pilot of one of two F-86-E Sabre jets which crashed Friday night went down with the burning craft. Louckbourne officials dug down into the burned wreckage at the base of a hole and recov ered enough of a body to decide that Lt. John J- Malanphy, 25, of Houston, Tex., had died in the crash. Inquiry will be started next week into the two crashes. Lt. Russell A. Thoburn, 23, Colerain, Ohio, parachuted to safety when his plane got in difficulty and was in "good con dition" at the Lockbourne hospital. No Evidence The air base official said there was no evidence the two planes, which fell to earth about nine miles apart, had collided in the air. Two other jets in the four plane unit landed safely in Co lumbus on a flight from Grand view, Mo. The four pilots were flight training officers from the Air Force . Academy, Lowry Field, Colo. Maj. R. M. Baugh, 32, Sioux City, Iowa, and leader of the group, and Lt. Doss Smith, Bak ersfield, Calif., landed safely. Thoburn said he "got out" when his altimeter began "spin ning", and other instruments in dicated all was not well. It was believed Malanphy was unable to contact his fellaws by radio and was forced down by rain and snow in the area.

Among them will be the dead man's widow, Mrs. Violet Can ales Worden, 42. Mrs. Worden admitted she shot her husband and buried his body in a shallow sandy grave on Padre island. She told outhorities Worden was a "Svengali" who often hyp notized her and drugged her. She said she shot him only be cause he handed her a diamond encrusted pistol and told her to kill her five-year-old daughter. Lie Detector Test Kleberg County Sheriff J. S. Scarborough Jr., said Mrs. Wor den's extraordinary story was fully borne out by a lie detector test Wednesday in Austin. , District Attorney Sam Jones said Dee Wheeler of the De partment of Public Safety, the man who administered the test, is among the witnesses whom he wants in Kingsville Monday. Jones said five investigating officers will also be asked to be on hand. They are Scarbor ough, Texas Rangers Joe Bridge of Falfurrias and Zeno Smith of San Antonio, Nueces County Deputy Sheriff. E. W. Britt and Bexar County Deputy Oscar Varnke. The eighth prospective wit ness, according to Jones, is the dead man's son, Air Force Sgt. Robert Worden. The sergeant lias called his stepmother's story fantastic." Jones said he was not asking that Mrs. Worden's daughter, Maria Teresa, 5, be present for the grand jury, although the little girl might be asked to ap pear later. She apparently was the only witness to the shooting. Mrs. Worden was charged with murder and has been free in $5,000 bond the last two weeks. Scarborough said she has been "very cooperative and helpful to investigators. Former Red Sharpshooter Fails In $100,000 Quiz New York (U.R) A beautiful, red-haired former Sharpshooter in the Russian Infantry lost a SI 00,000 battle of wits Saturday night with World War II Leaders Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz and Field Marshal Viscount Montgomery. She had a choice between risk ing everything to win $100,000 by answering one easy question on a television quiz show, or risking only half of her S50.000 winnings by choosing a hard six part question prepared by the two famous war commanders. Mrs. Kyra Shirk, 36, a veteran of the Battle of Leningrad, chose to risk only half of the S50,000 she had won on a television show "because I have a little boy whose education I have to think Humphrey Outlines Five-Point Program For Farm Surplus Cleveland U.R) Treasury Secretary George M. Humphrey today outlined a five-point pro gram for solving the farm sur plus problem. The program, Humphrey ex plained, depends greatly on "prosperity for industry," be cause "its workers are his (the farmer's) customers." The plan, which Humphrey called "the middle way" in a speech prepared for delivery be fore the 89th annual session of the National Grande, included: 1. Flexible price supports which "do not try futilely to re peal" the laws of supply and de mand: 2. "Carefully planned restric tions of production." 3. Expanded research to find new crops and new uses for farm output. 4. Cautious selling of farm sur pluses here and abroad, coupled with "strenuous efforts" to in crease consumption everywhere. 5. "A dynamic program of soil conservation." Besides what a positive pro gram can do, Humphrey said the growing population "with 3, 000,000 more mouths to feed each year will eat into both limited current production and surplus at an amazing rate." about." The pretty farm wife from York, Pa. came very close to suc cessfully answering three ques tions about the Battle of the Bulge posed by Viscount Mont gomery and three questions about the Battle of the Coral Sea posed by Adm. Nimitz. . She identified the Supreme Al lied Commander at the Bulge as General Eisenhower, and the op posing Commander as Field Mar shal Von Rundstedt, but failed to identify Gen. Patton as the res cuer of Gen. McAuliffe's be leaguered troops, although she said after the program that she knew it was Patton. She came as close in her con test with Adm. Nimitz when she said the Battle of the Coral Sea occurred in May, 1942, and that the Allied Task Force Comman der was Rear Adm. Frank Fletcher. But her memory failed then, and she could not identify Port Moresby as the goal of the Japanese attack nor Rabaul as the place to which the defeated Japanese retreated. Appearing on NBC's program, "The Big Surprise," the shapely World War II veteran whose category was War and Weapons, became the second contestant to try for the biggest cash prize in the history of television and fail.
