Master of Disguise Added To FBI's Most Wanted List Washington HOT - James John Wnrjiic. un habituul Lurglar who specially school ed himself to become a mas ter of disguise, was placed on the Kill's list of 10 most wanted criminals today. Wnrjiie, n criminal for 18 of hl.i 33 years. Is known to police as soft-spoken but vio-lent-lempered. In the past, he has armed himself with a Derringer pistol strapped to Ills leg with a fountain-pen type tcur gas gun. The FBI circular warns that Wnrjac must be consid ered "armed and extremely dangerous." Escaped in 1915 He has been on the loose since May 14, 11185, when he escaped from Ihc county Jail at Corpus Cbrlsll, Texus, where he was facing a 12 year penitentiary sentence for burglary. Wnrjac began his criminal career as a car thief In his hometown of Fort Wayne, Ind., and has subsequently turned up on police blotters In Gary, Ind., Omaha, Neb., Denver, Suit Lake City and Corpus Chrlstl. For some unknown reason, he abandoned bis true name of Dale Harold Cllne for James John Wnrjac. There Is evidence that at one time he attended school to learn ninke-up so that he could bet ter disguise himself. Wnrjac is reported to be adept at changing his appearance with hair dyes, cosmetics and other subterfuges. The FBI reports he has an athletic, erect build, stand ing S feet, 11 inches and weighing 170 pounds. His eyes are green or hazel, his hair blond and wavy, his complexion ruddy, There Is a mole on one of his checks and two more In the kidney region.

Beer Firm Unhappy About 'Buggy' Slogan Tallahassee, Fla. - WPtl-An-heuser-Busch, Inc., sought In a federal court petition filed Monday to keep a chemical company from using the slo gan: "Where there's life, there's bugs." The SI. Louis beer firm said the slognn of the Chem ical Corp. of America for Its floor wax Is similar to the Budwelser beer slogan: "Where there's life, there's Bud." The petition was filed here, headquarters for the chemical firm, In U.S. District Court for North Florida. -Greatest rango over which man has tracked a mun-madc object. -Greatest range from which man has received telcrnctnry (radioed Information). -First "Instrumented apace laboratory" to study and re port on physical conditions in interplanetary space. -First spneocruft to carry "an interplanetary guidance system." -Fastest man-made vehicle ever launchcd-lts speed of 30,409 feat a second at rocket burnout was almost 1,000. feet a second greater than the velocity needed for cs cupe from the earth. -First real Interplanetary probe to curry It sown self sustaining power supply, con sisting of thousands of solar cells on "paddlcwhec!" vanes extending from Pioneer's 20 inch body. -First Interplunctury spuco craft equipped to compensate for increased heating result ing from Increasing nearness to the sun. Scientific Firsts These were "technological firsts". Sllvcrsteln also listed these scientific firsts: -Discovery of the first map ping of the interplunctury magnetic field. -First measurement of In teraction between the solar wind (streams of particles from the sun) and the earth's magnetic field. -First real verification of the ring current which carries five million amperes around the earth's middle nl an alti tude of about 40,000 miles. -Discovery that certain de creases In cosmic ray intensity are not associated with the earth's magnetic field, as sci entists had thought, but are of Interplanetary origin. -First measurement of the radiation level of interplane tary space. -First measurement of the influence of the solar wind on the radiation belt around the earth. -First measurement of solar system distances by means of a space probe. -Discovery lhal the earth's magnetic field extends at times out to 65,000 miles, Us outer part fluctuating in strength as a result of solar activity. Silverstcin said Pioneer V also established that the radi ation belts around the earth aren't the only hazards of their kind to manned space flight. Similar hazards exist in deep Interplanetary space be cause of particles ejected from the sun during solar flares. Silverstcin said Pioneer V's measurements showed that space travelers of the future "will need extensive protec tion" from this radiation. SPEAKING FOR MODERN OIL HEAT...

ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Los Angeles - Although It was a good Idea to hold a na tional political convention here in the largest city in the West, the program would have been much Improved if sim ply turned over to those master entertainers, the curb stone orators and shabby shoutcrs of Pershing Square. TV has made conventions little more than a show. The timing of the daily program is fixed to hit the maximum million viewers In their living rooms and taverns. Movie stars are herded into the arena like prize livestock, not to perform but only to be admired. Even this gesture failed to hide the dullness of this convention as first rate entertainment. The reason is that it's high time to reform presidential conventions. They are old fashioned in needless ways that could readily be changed to convert them into more genuine instruments of demo cratic procedure, making them more entrancing to boot to the TV viewers. A major flaw is that many delegates never got to see the main contenders in the flesh until they appear in the hall at the end as victor or van quished. The candidates them selves run all over town try ing to speak in person to as many of the state's delega tions as is physically pos sible. That means some 50 speeches in 50 tiny hotel rooms scattered hither and yon-an impossibility in the course of a few days before the balloting begins. Apple-Stealer Pays Long-Standing Debt Tchula, Miss. IOTD A big, late-model car parked in front of Joe Maggio's grocery Mon day, and a well-dressed man stepped out and handed Mag gio a dime. He said the money was to pay for two apples he stole from Maggio in 1916. The stranger left before the flab bergasted grocer could get his name. Sons, brothers and high powered representatives of the candidates pinch hit, which means countless dele gates must make up their mind -without ever catching a glimpse of the man they must choose for the greatest office In the world. "I'm here seeking employment for my f a t h e r," wisecracked Jim Symington, the senator's son in an entertaining but not very meaningful appearance as a stand-In before the un decided Alaska delegation. Meanwhile, back in the hall the assembled delegates are being bored by two days of speeches ground out dutifully by lessor lights who have lit tle reason to be on the po dium than as a reward for past party service. The Persh ing Square arm wavers, per forming nightly across from convention headquarters In the Biltmore hotel, put on a much livicr show. Even the best party speakers-Keynoter Frank Church and Chairman Leroy Collins - couldn't hold their audience. The delegates were too preoccupied milling about to catch or spread the latest gossip -about who's ahead. Debate Needed What a convention needs is a good, solid debate between all the candidates in the con vention hall where the dele gates could all see them, listen and Judge them accordingly before the nomination roll call starts. A makeshift "debate" between Sens. Jack Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson pro vided the only element of conflict and out-in-the-open exchanges between contend ers, It was held in a Jammed hotel ballroom with, only a handful of delegates present; and despite some darts thrown by Johnson, it wasn't much of a debate. Conventions are now rigged for TV. Huge platforms for cameramen block the view of many delegates and newsmen from even seeing the speak er's platform. There is noth ing wrong with staging con ventions so their Impact comes through to millions u( voters, but the function of tho delegates In the hull ia still the chief point of It ail-to pick a prospective president. ' So it is time to discard tho outworn tradition which pre vents candidates from going; to convention hall In AD VANCE OF THE balloting. Face-to-face encounters the) first two days of the conven tion would bring the candi dates out where they can be seen, separated from their ghost writers. It would go far to make the Republican con vention in Chicago next week much more interesting. , , It would not only please the stage managers by mak ing a roaring good political show, but it would serve the high purpose of this American method of selecting new lead ers. .
