Mystery Disease Hits U. N. Troops in Korea; Japanese Offer Clue

•y th* Anocialcd Prtu

TOKYO, Nov. 8.—A mysterious disease has broken out among Al- lied forces in Korea during the past few months, Brig. Gen. Wil- liam E. Shambora, surgeon for the Far East command, disclosed today.

The disease strikes suddenly and is characterized by fever and a headache—common symptoms of the early stages of several acute infectious diseases.

An official release from Gen. Ridgway’s headquarters said it is strikingly similar to a disease first reported by the Japanese among their Manchurian troops in 1939.

Tiny Virus Blamed. "It is still too early to assert

that the two diseases are. without doubt, identical,” the announce- ment added.

The Japanese believe the dis- ease is caused by a tiny virus carried by field mice and trans- mitted to man by mites. They called it "epidemic hemorrhagic fever.”

The outbreak among United Na- tions command troops has not been checked by the use of either sulfa drugs or antibiotics, Gen. Shambora said. Blood transfusions from men who have recovered seem to ease the severity of new cases, ne added.

Gen. Shambora said some pa- tients recover quickly. Others de- velop further symptoms, includ- ing hemorrhages under the skin, around the eyes and internal or- gans. In other cases, the disease affects the kidneys.

Intensive studies are underway in Korea, Japan and the United States in an effort to isolate the disease organism, determine the method of transmissions and the best method of treatment, Gen. Shambora said.

Police (Continued From First Page.)

Association had voted to pay the expenses of the legal fight against the commissioners, and a sus- pended policeman. Pvt. Ray Swank, on Monday filed suit to prevent this use of the association money.

Today, Judge Kirkland granted Attorney Charles E. Ford, repre- senting Maj. Barrett, an extension until next Tuesday to prepare an answer to the Swank suit. Mr. Ford assured the judge that, until the court rules on the Swank suit, the association will not spend any of its funds on the Barrett case.

Four Points in Argument. In filing a motion late yester-

day asking the court to throw out the restraining order against the Commissioners, Corporation! Counsel Vernon E. West and three of his assistants argued:

1. That continuing the restrain- ing order will have the effect of preventing the Commissioners from examining into the conduct of their employes "m the face of grave charges made by the Senate of the United States while still i holding them strictly responsible to the public for the preservation ’

of peace and good order, preven- tion of crime and enforcement of the law.”

2. That the Senate had the pow- i er to make the inquiry via the '•

questionnaire route and the Com- <

missioners had the authority to ■ require the answers.

3. That when the Commissioners 1

ordered the police to answer the 1 questionnaire it became “not only I an inquiry promulgated by a con- gressional committee, but an ex- ecutive order promulgated by the Commissioners.”

* 4. That with the subcommittee given only until January to inves- tigate and report, “some proper streamlined procedure” had to be adopted and that was the reson for the questionnaire.

The motion dealt at length with the Barrett argument that the in- formation sought was illegal and invaded the constitutional rights

Frank Sinatra and Bride Fly To Miami on Honeymoon Trip

Philadelphia.—Frank Sinatra and Ava Gardner cut their wedding cake following their marriage yesterday.

—AP Wire photo. By the Associated Press

MIAMI, Fla., Nov, 8.—Frankie Sinatra and Ava Gardner arrived nere early today for their honey- noon.

They flew here from Phila- lelphia in a twin-engined Beech- :raft owned by the Kewanee Oil -o. The plane took off immedi- itely after landing the newlyweds it the Miami International Air- port.

Two men in a convertible drove them away. A check of beach- front hotels failed to disclose their lideaway.

The couple stole away from Philadelphia after a mystery- shrouded wedding at an exclusive home in West Germantown.

While the couple sipped cham- pagne and feasted on turkey last night, a score of newsmen and photographers tramped the wet pavement outside the home hop- ing to talk to the bride and groom pr to take pictures of them.

But the newlyweds would have none of that. They sneaked in through the back door and three and a half hours later summoned i half-dozen policemen in red :ars and a patrol wagon to guard in escape route.

The only information on the vedding itself came from a press igent for Universal Studios and

from Emmanuel (Mannie) Sacks, vice president of the Radio Corp. of America, who attended the ceremony at the home of Sacks’ brother Ernest.

Bridegroom Belligerent. Despite all the secrecy, there

was considerable furore about the affair. Frankie threatened to punch a photographer. And there I was a wild autc chase in an effort to throw newsmen off the trail.

The 10-minute ceremony last night began at 6:45 with Judge Joseph Sloane officiating. Mannie Sacks gave away the bride. Band Leader Axel Stordahl and his j wife, June Hutton, were best man and matron of honor.

Others in the party were Dick Jones, a friend of Sinatra’s, who played the wedding march on the piano; Sinatra’s mother and father from Hoboken. N. J.: Ava's sister. Beatrice; Mr and Mrs. Les- ter Sacks, and Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Levy.

It was the son of Levy’s brother, Leon, who engineered the chase. Young Levy hurried from his father’s house accompanied by a man and woman who resembled Frankie and Ava. They sped away in a car. Newsmen followed.

Later, the decoys returned to the house and they admitted they were the butler and the down- stairs maid.

>f the policemen and their fam- 1

lies. ! Question of Rights Examined. “It is unquestioned.” the motion 1

tated, “that policemen have con- !

;titutional rignts as well as any 1

ither citizen. It is equally axio- 1 natic that when individuals vol- 1

intarily join police forces that :ertain of their constitutional :

ights remain dormant during the >eriod of time. In short, they may 1

•efuse to answer questions pro- 1

bounded to them by competent mthority reciting as a ground .heir constitutional rights, but only if ter they have severed their con- nection with the Police Depart- ment.

"As law enforcement officers they have the duty to live honestly ind uprightly and to explain their conduct when called upon to do so.”

So far, approximately 50 police- men—including many of the ranking officers—have been called upon to answer the questionna- ires and Subcommittee Counsel Arnold Bauman said another batch of questionnaires would go out today. The answers to the 1,750 questions must be sworn to before a notary public. Committee’s Power Questioned. Judge Kirkland. In posing a

series of questions to be dealt with during today’s hearing, asked what power the crime sub- committee has—short of exam- ining the policemen under oath and by subpoena, to compel the furnishing of information sought by the affidavit questionnaire. (

In reply, Corporation Counsel West contended that a review of all the authorities fails to show any case limiting the broad scope of congressional inquiry to oral testimony before the committee.

“On the contrary,’’ he added, “in every case, it is restated that the propriety of the procedure of the committee, unless it trans- gresses on constitutional safe- guards, shall not be questioned by the courts.”

The Commissioners, through their corporation counsel, de- clared that aside from the ques- tion of authority, their only al- ternative was to order their subordinate—Maj. Barrett—to co- operate with the Senate subcom- mittee.

Says D. C. Heads Involved. “It need not be labored,” the

motion stated, “that the question of crime and its prevention is as serious to them (the Commission- ers) under their responsibilities as it is to the Congress of the United States.

Wedding Records Studied. The Senate subcommittee also

is looking for information via the subpoena route. Records of the elaborate wedding reception which Maj. Barrett gave for his daugh- ter at the Statler Hotel last No- vember were delivered to Senate investigators by Statler employes yesterday.

xiumji Manager Herbert C. Blunck refused to estimate the cost of the party for the former Joanne Vic- toria# Barrett and her bridegroom Frederick S. Bartlett, which more than 1,100 guests attended.

Asked if it approached $10,000 as rumored at the time, he re- plied, "No, nothing like that.”

Less Moonshine Found in Kentucky, Tennessee Areas

By th* Associated Press Federal revenue agents are find-

ing fewer moonshine whisky stills in Kentucky and Tennessee.

, The Bureau of Internal Revenue

reported today that Alcohol Tax Unit agents seized only 117 stills in the two States in September. This was 48 less than the 165 seized there during the same month last year, but still was third among totals for the various districts. >

It was topped by the district including Alabama, Florida, Geor- gia and South Carolina, with 386 effective raids, and the area in- volving the District of Columbia, Maryland, North Carolina, Vir- ginia and West Virginia, with 200 seizures.

Price Rise on Lamb Expected Here Under New OPS Regulation

The Government today ap- proved ceiling prices for lamb which will make leg of lamb cost about 70.6 cents a pound whole- sale. ,

Retailers were studying the order to see what effect it will have on their prices. One retailer, who said his retail price of a leg of lamb is 79 cents, guessed there might not be much change, at least for that item.

Generally, however, it was ex- pected that the prices would be higher in most retail markets.

The new regulations issued by the Office of Price Stabilization are effective next Tuesday.

New Prices Outlined. One sets dollar and cents prices

for lamb and mutton at whole- sale. Another authorizes retailers to pass on to the public any changes in the wholesale prices.

Heretofore the wholesalers have been operating under the general order which froze their prices at the levels they charged last Janu- ary.

Under the new order the pack- er’s price for prime and choice lamb carcasses will be about $61.20 per hundred pounds, and the wholesaler’s price will be about $2.90 above that, according to the District office of the OPS. The good grades of lamb are uniformly $2 per hundred pounds less than prime and choice.

One District retailer said that $64.10 ($61.20 plus $2.90) was about 3 cents a pound more than he had been paying.

visirict rnces Listed. The District prices at whole-

sale under the new order, ac- cording to the local OPS office, vill be approximately these: leg 3f lamb, 70.6 cents a pound; loin, 72.6 cents; rack (ribs) 83.6 cents chuck. 53.1 cents.

One retailer quoted loin chops it $1.30 a pound and rib chops it $1.20 a pound, and chuck at 65 cents.

Retailers, figuring from the wholesale price, presumably will -aise their prices, but some of the •etail prices may be lower.

One chain store official said the juestion of lamb price at retail lad been purely academic with iis company, which had been caught in the freeze and with a low level of prices and had not been able to get any lamb to offer to customers.

Veal prices are the only ones not now covered by dollars and cents ceilings at wholesale. An nrder will be issued soon spelling nut the prices.

Vishinsky (Continued From First Page.)

during this assembly, Mr. Vishin- sky said in vigorous tones.

There is no doubt that peace negotiations in Korea could reach i successful conclusion if the American government would give a simple order to Gen. Ridgway not to hamper negotiations,” Mr Vishinsky said.

Blasts Armaments Race. Mr. Eden was slouched back In

nis chair, but Mr. Acheson leaned forward tensely as Mr. Vishinsky charged that the United States a-as leading the world to ruin chrough a mad armaments race

Mr. Vishinsky charged that the united States was trying to cover np its plans for a third world war ay alleging that its security was threatened by Russia.

He said Soviet Prime Minister Stalin, in his interview with Pravda, had exposed such fears is "groundless and spurious” because the “Soviet Union has no thought ever to attack the United States of America or any other country."

Mr. visnmsky said his delega- tion would repeat its call for the unconditional prohibition of the atomic weapon and for the use m atomic energy for peaceful pur- poses.

“To our great regret.” he said previous general assemblies had failed to heed this call.

Raps Stand on Red China. He denounced the Assembly’s labelling Red China an aggressor

in Korea as “an abject decision” taken at the demand of the United States and said it just encouraged American aggression against the people of China and Korea.

“Almost on the eve of this ses- sino,” Mr. Vishinsky said, “the majority of the Security Council allowed a new infringement of the <U. N.) charter when it took un- der consideration the complaint against Iran. Once again the Anglo-American group demon- strated its utter contempt of the sovereign rights of states.

“There is no doubt that United States policy within the U. N. is doing untold harm to the moral standing of this organization.”

Cites Collier’s Article. Mr. Vishinsky concluded his

speech with the Soviet counter- proposals.

He denounced the U. N. majority plan for control of atomic energy with provisions for international inspections as “control without prohibition.” The West already has rejected Russia’s atom con- trol plan, because Russia rejects the inspection clauses.

Mr. Vishinsky’s said the West’s plan “truly seeks to prevent any sort of atomic control.” Then he assailed a recent issue of Collier’s magazine which he said had “out- rageous illustrations’ devoted to destruction by atomic bombs. This magazine was devoted to a fan- tasy by a group of writers, telling what might happen in World War III against Russia.

White-haired, bespectacled Vi- shinsky frequently waved his finger at the delegates as he spoke, but his attitude was calm.

Marines Top Recruiting Costs With $J20-Per-Man Expense

By John A. Giles The Marine Corps, whose mem-

bers refer to it as Uncle Sam's “elite corps," also is the Nation’s most expensive military force from a recruiting standpoint, it was learned today.

A long suppressed report on re- cruiting costs which The Star ob- tained today shows that the cost per recruit for all voluntary en- listees—taking into consideration the pay and allowances of recruit- ers. rental and maintenance of re- cruiting stations and vehicles, ad- vertising costs, travel, etc.—was as follows in the last fiscal year:

Marines—$120.38. Army and Air Force—$64.73, Navy—$37.51. But the armed services, in the

wake of caustic and increasing congressional criticism of recruit- ing activities, have drastically slashed such costs.

Here’s the departments’ esti- mates of the cost per enlistee in the 1950 fiscal period:

Marines—$287.50. Army and Air Force—$146.66. Navy—$129.98. The Army and Air Force recruit-

ing system is a combined effort. The Army also has been using the draft, to get more for over a year and the Marine Corps more re- cently has turned to Selective Service to fill out its ranks.

The Selective Service Act itself requires the armed services to gee as many men as possible through the volunteer method. But mili- tary officials also defend the sys- tem on the grounds of increased military manpower effectiveness for longer periods, since draftees are required to stay in uniform for only 24 months and the relative decrease in training costs when amortized over a longer period of time for a reduced manpower turnover.

Recruiters by Services. Here’s a breakdown on the

number of recruiters involved in the Nationwide organizations in the last fiscal year:

Marine Corps—85 officers and 1,267 enlisted men.

Army and Air Force—495 offi- cers, 3,988 enlisted men and women, and 1,234 civilians.

Navy—164 officers and 2,217 en- listed personnel.

The total number of personnel recruited was:

Marine Corps—57,450. Army and Air Force—442,364. Navy—211,458. The services reported these re-

cruiting expenditures: Marine Corps—$6,916,092. Army and Air Force—$28,634,-

282. Navy—$7,931,145. Recruiting costs and the re-

cruiting systems have been and still are under study by Mrs. Anna M. Rosenberg, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Manpower. The Army has advocated that recruit- ing stations be closed and the ser- vices turn that work over to local draft boards.

Services Protest.

Thus, under the Army proposal, a man wishing to volunteer would go to Selective Service and vol- unteer for the armed force of his choosing. But this plan has met with bitter opposition from the other services, especially the Navy and Air Force, because they wish long-term enlistees only.

In the last fiscal year, the Ma- rine Corps operated 437 recruiting stations, the Army and Air Force, 1,300 and the Navy, 436.

Recruiting advertising—specifi- cally, sponsorship of big time ra- dio programs—came in for strong criticism on Capitol Hill this year and the Army and Air Force were forced to cancel several contracts as a result.

The two services spent a total of $7,110,963 on advertising in the 1951 fiscal year, of which $5,185,114

advertising costs, $1.6 million went to radio, $1.5 million to magazines and $1 million to newspapers and supplements. Television shows ac- counted for $817,027.

The Army and Air Force also had a $314,159 item for "prepara- tion costs," $562,364 for “public service radio material,” $339,267 for paper and printing and $90,000, for publicity.

The Navy spent $793,706 on ad- vertising during the 1951 fiscal year; the Marine Corps, $433,434.

The biggest items in the Navy and Marine Corps advertising effort were in posters and placards. The Navy laid out $534,425 for such advertising and the Marine Corps, $280,316.

Radio advertising cost the Navy $153,000 and the Marines $70,550. The Navy spent $18,080 for tele- vision. The Marines did not invade the television field.

Marines Use Most Cars. The Marine Corps appeared to

be the best equipped, transporta- tion-wise. of all the military re-

cruiters. The Corps reported possession

of six sedans, 436 pickup trucks, four three-ton trucks, 108 station wagons, two trailers and two prime movers.

Initial costs of the Marine ve-

hicles was placed at $638,252 and annual maintenance and garage rentals at $217,720.

Asked about the number of ve- hicles used by its recruiters, the Army and Air Force said the in- formation was not available be- cause the six Army commands over the Nation furnished the necessary transportation. How- ever, those two services reported expenditure of $131,810 for gaso- line and oil: $87,580 for tires and repairs and $60,830 for garage rentals during the last fiscal year for the vehicles supplied by the six armies.

The Navy reported use of 481 sedans by Its recruiters which cost initially $577,200. The main- tenance and garage rentals an- nually was placed at $274,437. •

Red Buffer Proposal Rejected as Relieving Pressure for Truce

By th« Associated Press

MUNSAN, Korea, Nov. 8.—Alliec negotiators today “completely re

iected” a Red buffer zone proposa because it "would have relievec the Communists from any pressure to reach agreement” on othei Koreafi truce terms.

The flat turndown came afte: four hours and 35 minutes spen in finding out just what the Com munist plan meant. A Unitec Nations command communique said it was “a fruitless effort.”

“The proposal is no longer unde: study for hidden meanings or gim- micks,” said Brig. Gen. Willian P. Nuckols, spokesman for the United Nations Command. “We have an agreed understanding oi what it means and we reject it.”

Completely Rejected. An official communique ex

plained the Red compromise "would have provided in essence for an immediate and irrevocable demarcation line.

ims in turn would have re^ lieved the Communists from an; pressure to reach agreement 01 other agenda items, deemed es sential by the UNC to a full fledged military armistice.”

Maj. Gen. Henry I. Hodes, chair man of the U.N. armistice sub committee, said, “We complete! rejected the proposal.”

Could Come Up Again. However, Gen. Nuckols said ther

is nothing to prevent the Com munists from bringing it up agai

, when subcommitteemen met again in Panmunjom Friday. Bu Gen. Nucols emphasized:

"The U.N. will not consent t anything that will permit militar pressures to be relieved on tl enemy and thus jeopardize the sue cess of achieving a full scale mill

| tary armistice.”

Pork Roasts, Chops Sell for 6 Cents Less In Some Area Stores

Pork prices took a small drop in District area groceries today with pork roasts and pork chops selling in some stores at as much as 6 cents less than last week.

This drop in pork prices was a normal seasonal trend, given add- ed impetus this year by a pig crop estimated at nearly 106 mil- lion animals, the biggest for any year since the record of 121 mil- lion in 1943. Food experts predict pork prices this winter will hold at about the same level as last year.

Vegetable Prices Rise. There was little change in the

prices of other meats. Prices of many fresh vegetables rose slight- ly, reflecting lighter supplies.

The Agriculture Department headlined cranberries as the week’s most plentiful food for thrifty buying. The Nation’s cranberry output is estimated at

| more than 25 per cent larger than the 1940-1949 average with 916,000 barrels headed for market.

Wholesale Prices Decline. Wholesale food prices, as meas-

ured by the Dun & Bradstreet food index, declined slightly this week to a new low for 1951. This index was at $6.64 compared to $6.65 last week and $6.52 a year ago. The year’s high was $7.31 on Feb- ruary 20.

The index represents the whole- sale cost of one pound each of 31 most important foods.
