Acting Commissioner Kyran Phelan said Sunday night that evidence found by Irwin Cohen, head of the mayor's investigation office, and Lt. John Neurauter. head of the burglary detail, linked the policemen hitherto untouched by the scandal to the ring. Phelan said the investigation in dicated that the newly involved officers allegedly accepted bribes at least one of $1,000 to protect members of the gang.

The evidence was uncovered, Phelan said, alter Cohen and Neu rautcr went to Statcville Prison in Joliet and questioned four con victed burglars. He identified them as Harry Mcflord, 34, Rich ard Aloia, 31, Richard Kelley, 25 and Casinur Boniakowski, 31 They are serving terms ranging from 1 to 6 to 4 to 10 years after pleading guilty last November to burglarizing a department store Neurauter said the four had committed several hundred rob' bcries, most of them in the well lo-do Gold Coast. This is the third lime that burglars' accusations have jarred tlic force in five weeks. Richard Morrison, 23, touched off the scandal Jan. 15 when he accused eight policemen from the North Side Summerdale District of aiding him on his looting forays He charged six others had ac ccptcd bribes from him. Police Commissioner Timothy J O'Connor resigned and a sDccial grand jury was called to probe the charges. Already 48 policemen have been suspended on civil serv ice or criminal charges. Last week another four man burglary ring implicated several policemen from the Damen Dis trict in a scheme !o receive stolen goods. The Damen District is ad jacont to Summerdale. The convicted burglars told Ncu rautcr that in April 1959, while free on bond pending the outcome of ont burglary case, they were apprehended by Summerdale policemen with the loot of three other burglaries. One convict said he paid $1,000 to a policeman to change the testimony of the ar resting officers. Cohen and Neurauter said that further statements implicated more than a score of former mem bcrs of the burglary detail. Fl SHOWN AT 1:30 ONLY WHY WERE HIS VICTIMS ALWAYS , LADIES OF THE NIGHT?

WASHINGTON (AP)-A highly controversial wilderness area bill, almost amended to death last year, will run into more proposed amendments at Senate Interior Committee meetings this week. The measure, strongly opposed. would set up and preserve wilder ness areas throughout the country. Opponents include: Ranchers, afraid they might lose the right to graze cattle and sheep on federal land; lumbermen, anx- ious to preserve the right to cut limber on federal land; oil and gas drillers and prospectors, who continue looking for petroleum and minerals on public land and rec lamationists, who claim Irrigation projects would be blocked. The Interior committee heard about 500 witnesses testify for and gainst the bill last year at hear ings in Seattle, Phoenix and Wash ington, D. C. An estimated 10,000 letters and postcards commenting on the bill were received by the committee. Members of Congress, including the 17 senators cosponsoring the bill, got thousands more. The bill was revised dozens of limes at numerous meetings of the committee in 1959. It finally was put aside at the request of Sen. Joseph C. O'Mahoncy (D-Wyo) after he suffered a stroke. The committee resumed consid- oration Feb. 16. After an hour of, discussion members were able to agree on about 15 lines of a bill which is expected to run about 600 lines averaging 10 words each Before the committee comes- up with a bill it will have to dispose of: A substitute proposed by O'Ma honey; 16 amendments offered by Sen. Gordon Allott tR-Colo), and others proposed by Sens. Wallace Bennett (R-Utah), Henry Dwor- shak (R-Idaho), and Ernest Gruc ning (D-Alaska).

Van Rie is accused of slaying Lynn Knuffman, 23. last Sept. 18 as a climax to a shipboard affair on a 44-day voyage from the Orient. The all-male jury, locked up nice court recessed Saturday noon, attended church services Sunday and was taken on a bus ride along the Massachusetts South Shore. The Saturday session concluded with testimony by Boston Medical Examiner Michael A. Luongo that Miss Kauffman was apparently beaten and kicked in her cabin and then dragged through a port hole. iwosi oi ine amendments are aimed at fully protecting existing rights to use federal lands which would be included in the wilder ness areas and restricting addi lions to the system. Several would require an act of Congress to add any area to the system. The bill originally provided for pulomatic designation in the wil derness area of about 50 million acres in forests, Indian reserva lions, wildlife areas and elsewhere. Following the deluge of protests, the bill was amended to cut out Its most controversial features, in eluding the Indian reservations. A provision was added to permit continued livestock grazing in areas now being used. Water right protection was written into the bill. I! was amended to permit fed eral agencies to select areas going into the wilderness system with the consent of Congress. Among supporters are wilder ness, conservation, wildlife and similar groups. The bill, in some form, is ex pected to clear the Senate Interior Committee. The committee plans to resume work on the bill Tuesday.

This is the opinion of Prof. S. G. Davis of Hong Kong Univer sity who says that experimenting with controlling the weather could lead to disastrous results. The professor got talking about weather experiments in the course of discussing the unusually mild winter Hong Kong has experi enced this season. One thing he doubted was that nuclear explo sions have tampered with the usual (or is it the unusual) course of weather. If anybody is going to change the weather, Davis said, it will be man himself. The Russians have been work ing on their bad weather for some years now. They are not just mere theorists because their ideas can definitely work. "They (the Russians) know how to do it and it may be in the near future that Russia will have no winter," he said. 'However," he hastily added, lest the world start demanding better weather, "drastic changes could be more dangerous to the world than all the nuclear weap ons invented. According to Davis, the Rus sians have devised a means by which nuclear fission has been harnessed to melt snow some thing Russia has got plenty of. 'Thousands of small nuclear fission pellets can be shot into the snow and within no time vast areas of snow have been melted,' Davis explained. It would be possible, he said, to have sunshine 24 hours a day by sending huge quantities of fine meteoric dust into one location where the sun's rays would be reflected onto any given point. In other words, if Russia de cmea to nave sun all the year part of the year round, it would be possible. However, I think most scientists are treading carefully on this score. ine trounies wnich could arise from such experiments are enor mous. 'If Russia did make their weather warmer there would be an immediate build-up of pres sure. This would cause a greater wind activity and cause the world to be thrashed with continual typhoons," the professor said. The Sahara Desert could sud denly change into an equatorial rainbclt." The frightening prospects he mentioned included peoples used to cool weather dying in tropical temperatures, and the entire world 'would have to adjust to a new living. ine whole thing must be in vestigated more thoroughly to in sure that mankind does not sui ter," he said. "In the meantime old mother nature isn't doing such a bad job." State Faces Bonus Battle FRANKFORT. Ky. (UPf)-Ken- Ijcky's state government today faced problems of paying a quar ter of a billion dollars in bonuses to its veterans of four wars, one of the major headaches being the definition o. a Kentucky veteran The bonus law, endorsed at the polls last November, passed by the General Assembly last week and signed by Gov. Bert T Combs, provides payments for veterans, or their surviving wid ows, parents or children of the S p a n i s h-Ameriean War, both World Wars and the Korean con flict. Payments run $15 a month for foreign service, up to $500, or $9 a month for stateside duty, up to $300. The Kentucky veteran must have entered the service from Kentucky, been a resident of the state last Nov. 3, and must live here when the payment is made. This provision raised a howl of protest from the thousands of Kcntuckians who left the state temporarily to find work in the factories of Ohio, Indiana, Michi gan and other states. Many of them "commute" back to the Kentucky hills on weekends and consider themselves Kcntuckians still. Even those who live farther away argue that since they en tered service from ' the common wealth, they too are entitled to bonuses. BEER ON CREDIT MEMPHIS, Tenn.
