Church Forces Girl
Out of Beauty Show
WHEELING, w. Va., June 24.
(—Bishop John J. Swint told
Catholic girls of the Wheeling dio-
cese yesterday to stay out of
beauty contests or be excommuni-
cated.
His warning came after a Catho-
lic gir). Miss Gertrude Bedway,
dropped out of a contest here She
said the bishop told her to with-
draw or be expelled from the
chutch.
Bishop Swint confirmed the girl's
explanation
He called modern beauty pa-
geants "totally pagan" and "abso-
lutely immoral," and protested the
“indecent exposure" of girls’
bodies before the public.
"How any girl can submit herself
to that ordeal ia beyond me," the
bishop told a reporter. "If
nakedness were eliminated, the
whole thing would fall to pieces."

Taft’s Elephant
Involved in Court
PHILADELPHIA. June 24. UK-
Little Eva, the elephant who came
to Philadelphia to lend weighty
support to the campaign of Sen.
Robert A. Taft for the Republican
presidential nomination, needs a
lawyer.
A former employe of Dailey
Brothers circus got a court at-
tachment yesterday against the
elephant to support a year-old
damage claim. Deputy sheriffs
have started an elephant hunt
The suit was filed on behalf of
Joseph Wallace, who claims he un-
derwent amputation of an arm as
the result of an injury at -Dailey
Brothers circus in Bellefonte, Pa.,
last year. He claimed he couldn’t
locate previously assets of the cir-
cus in Pennsylvania against which
a damage suit could be filed.
Counsel for Wallace posted $10,-
000 bond to obtain the attachment
An equal bond will be necessary
to obtain release of the elephant
when the writ is served.
Truman Defended
At Negro Parley
KANSAS CITY, June 24. — A
government official declared last
night President Truman “deliber-
ately risked his whole political fu-
ture” in backing his civil rights
program.
Oscar R Ewing, federal security
administrator, told the annual con-
vention of the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People:
“A more cautious occupant of the
White House, facing a tough cam-
paign for re-election, would have
sidestepped the more dangerous as-
pects of the policy he was enunciat-
ing. He would have indulged in safe
generalities and taken no chances.
“I say it is to the everlast-
ing credit of President Truman that
he did none of these things.”
the operations.
“How high are we? How cold is
it?" were their questions. (The ele-
vation was 13.700 feet and the tem-
perature 20 degrees).
Dr. Lloyd G. Lewis, Princeton
physicist, found it easy to give
those answers. It was more diffi-
cult to explain how his complicated
ionization chambers and a bunch
of metal “dishpans’’ may unlock
scientific mysteries.
The dishpans are actually half-
spheres.- Some are made of iron,
some of lead (the heaviest 900
pounds) and some of aluminum.
They were fitted together to form a
perfect ball. Inside, the balls are
sensitive recording devices. The
instruments show what happens to
atomic nucleti when struck by cos-
mic rays which come from outside
the earth’s atmosphere. The effects
vary, depending upon whether the
cosmic ray strikes through an iron,
lead or aluminum ball.
Physicists believe that -by
breaking up the atom with the cos-
mic ray they can learn the makeup
of atomic nucleti. They say if they
can do that they’ll know what
makes up all matter and life itself.
