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.

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.

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.

eight persons will be asked to
be available to testify before a
Kleberg -county grand jury Mon

investigation into the "Sven
gali" slaying of Don Worden,
45, of San Antonio.
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

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

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,

the history of television and fail.

nia courtroom, hit the mark
Saturday.
Mrs. Jewell Louise Byrd, 22,
said she would return to her
husband if he was grown up
enough to act like a husband.
She said she hadn't seen the

ago in her husband's name by
ing the United States last Jan.

ported. He was deported to Can

Mrs. Walter Adams, and Adams.

up enough to accept the respon

Separate Appeals
Said Unnecessary
Portland U.R) Planned

termed "unnecessary and unwar
ranted" by Portland United
Fund directors.
Directors passed a resolution
which asked the city council to
find out about the campaigns of
United Cerebral Palsy associa
tion and Muscular Dystrophy as
sociation. The resolution reaf
firmed the "open door" policy of
the United Funds and said both
organizations had been invited
to join and receive support.
Mrs. Lucile Croft, organizer
and past president of the Port
land "muscular dystrophy chap
ter, said the group was "shocked
and surprised" by the action
