Li'l ol' Chicopee, where Caise was stationed two years as an army air force pilot, sent him.

a warrant demanding that amount for an unpaid poll tax, wiyi a threat he will be arrested if he doesn't pay up. Caise is curious whether Chicopee would effect his arrest for such a sum. ARTIST PLANS OIL OF CITY'S LAKES, MILLS Bernard Arnest, 30, formerly of New York, now an instructor at the Minneapolis School of Art, is planning to do some painting of Minneapolis scenery he considers "choice" the lakes and the milling district. He said the work will be a soothing departure from the work he did as chief artist for the army's historical section late in the European war. One of his works, showing the first meeting of Russian and American troops in Germany, hangs in the White House.

An exhibition of Arnest's work will be held through October in the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. DEATHS ROBIN HOOD RETURNS? NEW YORK (U.E) John Milan 21, told police a gunman robbed him of $1,500 while he was waiting for a subway.

LaGUARDIA Continued From Page One tively that it became a specific target fpr the enemy.

LaGuardia was a congressman during World War serving from 1917 to 1921 in the 65th and 66th congresses. He also was a member of the 68th and 72nd congress in 1923 and 1933. Friendly to labor, LaGuardia's tenure in congress was highlighted bv his co-authorship with the late Senator George Norris of the Norris-LaGuardia act prohibiting the indiscriminate use of court injunctions in labor disputes. LaGuardia started many a fight, and finished most of them successfully. His charges against Tammany during the 30s are believed to have brought about the famous Seabury investigation which resulted in the downfall of Mayor James J.

Walker's administration. One of his most important fights was for the St. Lawrence waterway. He said opponents feared it would bring hardship to the port of New York, but LaGuardia said if goods could be shipped through it more economically the waterway should be constructed despite position of "power interests." "Butch" was credited with a sharp temper and a caustic tongue. When mayor he made personal war on New York's bur- lesmip theaters and "tin horn gamblers." But he had a human side and once read the comics over a radio station during a New York newspaper delivery strike.

His color and his actions brought him popularity. New York's airport, LaGuardia Field, stands as a monument to him. The Hat" was one of the first public figures in the United States to fight Hitler. The Nazi press, in 1937, was calling him a "boob, procurer, gangster and blackmailer" because LaGuardia had termed Hitler a "brown-shirted fana- tic" and suggested placing an effigy of him in a "chamber of horrors" at New York's world fair of 1939. During his third term as New York mayor LaGuardia became director of the office of civilian defense.

In 1946 he became director-general of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation administration. In this post he visited Climax, in April. 1946, to tell the people how badly Red River valley wheat was needed by the starving people of Europe. The people of Climax recognized his plea by bringing in 150 loads of wheat from nearby farms and loading them onto a special train. At Moorhead, 56 miles away, he made another radio plea for release of wheat from stock piles.

The last months of his career were devoted to writing and radio broadcasting. His column, "Un-der the Hat," was used in a furniture firm's advertisements and he contributed a weekly column to the newspaper "PM." Order Blocking Rail Curtailment Is Set Aside Federal Judge Matthew M. Joyce today set aside an order issued by District Judge C. A. Rollof of Montevideo, which had made ineffective an order of the railroad and warehouse commission in connection with a Minnesota Western railroad case.

The commission last month ordered the railroad to discontinue passenger service on the 115-mile line between Minneapolis and Gluek, as of Sept. 1. Villages of Cosmos, Lake Lillian and Clara City and townships of Holland, Roseland and Cosmos obtained an order from Judge Rollof staying the commission's order until a hearing and determination of an appeal is made. The railroad then sought removal of the matter to federal court. Judge Joyce today denied a motion by the villages to remand the case back to Judge Rollof and set next Wednesday for hearing before him of an order to show cause why the commission's order to discontinue passenger service should not be stayed until hearing of the appeal.

Ills Prevention Cited at Chest 'Kickof Prevention of social ills is cheaper than trying to cure them after they have been entrenched in the community. This was one of the "selling points" that 100 volunteer workers were urged to use in the Community Chest campaign Oct. 6 to 21 at a "kickoff" dinner Friday night at Nicollet hotel by Alan M. Kennedy, campaign publicity director. Joseph F.

Ringland, campaign chairman, said that this year, unlike other years, there has been "no leeway amount" included in the $2,300,000 goal in event the quota is not met. PHOTO OF DIRTY DISHES DIVORCE EVIDENCE WATERLOO, IOWA (IMS-Merle J. Brown, insurance executive, today had resorted to amateur photography to aid him in obtaining a divorce. Brown displayed in district court pictures of a sink full of dirty dishes, beds unmade and clothing scattered over the bedroom floor. He said he snapped the pictures to prove that his wife, 3Iildred, was neglecting her household duties.

Medical Cruelty Charge to Get Study in Vienna VIENNA, AUSTRIA (IP) A charge that a Vienna doctor had performed "shocking" experiments on Jewish children was turned over today to the Austrian prosecutor for study. A municipal commission, in taking this action, described the operations by Dr. Joseph Zikow-ski as "absolutely legal and normal procedure." It said he was doing no more than following well methods in medicine. Harold Trowb, of the American joint distribution committee, a Jewish relief organization, charged that at least 20 of 60 children admitted to the Vienna municipal hospital for infectious diseases had undergone experiments while confined for mild cases of measles. He said Dr.

Zikowski, the chief surgeon, had removed the skin from at least eight children to determine their types of measles and had ordered "lumbar tap" punctures of 12 others to determine whether they had infantile paralysis.

First aid workers drove themselves during the night to administer to the injured in the armory at Gulfport by the light of flashlights. The area from Biloxi westward to New Orleans was a mass of wrecked houses, destroyed crops and boats staved in. A wavj 15 to 25 feet high swept into Biloxi and simply carried away scores of casinos and cottages on the shore road.

Hundreds were reported homeless on the low, unprotected shore. Mayor G. B. Cousins, of Biloxi, called on the army to patrol beaches and shoot, if necessary, to halt any looting. The surf at Biloxi swept up the bodies of two men, and of a mother with three children.

Porter Urges Marshall Plan Russia was blamed for the plight of Greece by Paul Porter, recently special envoy to tha latter coun try, in a speech before an Americans for Democratic Action audience Friday night at Nicollet hotel. "Greece is not a totalitarian country because it has freedom of speech and press and permits political opposition. Russia gets in its work on Greece by instigating and directing guerrilla attacks by its satellite states of Albania, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia." Porter said. "America alone can save Greece from falling prey to Russia, The Marshall plan for relief of all Europe must be instituted or a free civilization over there may not survive," Porter added. Porter attacked Senator Robert A.

Taft for killing OPA which Porter formerly headed. Porter was introduced by Mayor Hubert H. Humphrey, state ADA president. Phipps Girl, 10, Drowns In Pool OLD WESTBURY, N. Y.

UP) Deidre Phipps, 10, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John H. Phipps of Tallahassee, drowned Friday while swimming in a pool on the Long Island estate of her socially prominent grandparents, Mr. and Mrs.

John S. Phipps. She was a great grandchild of the late Henry Phipps. philanthro pist and associate of the late Andrew Carnegie in the steel industry. Police saidhe child was a good swimmer.

Her nurse, who could not swim, summoned a butler who jumped in the pool and carried out the child. The city planning engineer, Her man E. Olson, revealed there is room for some 300 additional homes in northeast Minneapolis on St. Anthony boulevard at Marshall street NE. This would be the largest single emergency housing village in the city if fully developed, it appeared.

The largest plat previously studied was one- accommodating about 200 two-bedroom dwellings, along Thirty-seventh avenue NE. between Johnson and Fillmore streets. Other plats spotted throughout the city would hold from 11 to 150 of the quick-built homes. The bid of the D'Arcy Leek Construction Co. for 75 units at $4,275 each "should no longer be considered," Alderman W.

Glen Wallace commented today. This was after a letter from the company explaining no assurance of labor co-operation had been given because the prefabricators' main plant at Shakopee "is not a onion shop." AFL building trades unions, meanwhile, explained they would erect union-made "prefabs" for temporary housing, although opposing prefabricated housing as such. The Goodyear Wingroot home, of which the housing committee is considering buying 75 units at each, was praised in a tele- eram from Arthur Marcus. Mil waukee, American Legion housing representative. Marcus said "further inflationary buying for the unhoused veteran" could be avoided by making such houses quickly available.

The announcement said this is the most significant advance in 15 years in the knowledge of what goes ony in atoms. The flicker is a new part of the energy in electrons, which form the outer portion of all atoms. Indirectly the flicker may suggest answers to the puzzles abo'it the cores, or nuclei of atoms.

Atomic power and atomic bombs come from these nuclei. The discovery Wjis made by Prof. Willis I amb and Robert Rethtrford, of the physics department. Until the Columbia discovery it was thought that when electrons picked up a definite quantity of energy, the energy of the atom was raised by just that amount. But research showed this amount, that physicists call the "energy level," sometimes was the same.

They found a little extra energy where none was supposed to be. Dr. II. A. Bethe, of Cornell university, one of the foremost atomic bomb scientists, says the explanation may he that the electrons themselves are radiating or giving off energy.

Radiation of energy, especially light and heat, by electrons is well known. But this new radiation is different. The electron seems to emit this energy and then suck it back again, and to repeat this process. That is the flicker. get FLATLUX from these PARAGON HDWE.
