early scandal, and the burglar
detail.
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.

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).

BOSTON (AP)-The first-degree
murder trial of Dutch radio oper
ator Willem van Rie was in re-
ess for Washington's Birthday
today after 6'i days of testimony
about the death of a pretty di-
orcce ahonrd a Singapore toi
Boston freighter.
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.

HONG KONG (UPII-Don't fool
around with the weather! Maybe
it's bad now, but it could be
worse.
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.
