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.
Smooth Dancer
The fugitive has a reputa
tion as a smooth dancer who
frequents night clubs. Wnrjnc
litis a penchant for natty
clothes, particularly slacks
and sports coals. He has
worked as a salesman, steel
worker, construction worker,
boiler maker and oil field
roustabout. In addition, he
fancies himself as an amateur
painter.
There Is some belief Wnr
jac mny have headed for
Mexico after his prison
brenk. There were also re
ports that he mny have been
accompanied In flight by a
former model and carhop
whom he may have later
married.

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.

Correspondent Says It's High Time
To Reform Our Political Conventions
By A. 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. .
