SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL PAGE FOUR Thursday, December 15, 1949 i Infantile 1 Paralysi Conference Although the infantile paraly sis epidemic in 1948 was the sec ond largest in the nation's his tory, 34 states have reported more infantile paralysis this year than in 1948 with more than half of the states of the nation reporting from two to fifteen times as many cases as last year, according to Clinton Belknap, east Nebraska repre sentative for the Infantile Pa ralysis Foundation.

Bulgarian ; Refugee Tells Of Red Terror EDIRNA, Turkey (UP) Vasil Mavrodia is a 20-year-oid Bul garian farmer with a bewildered and frightened look on his face who has just managed to escape across one of the most tightly guarded borders in the world, from Bulgaria to Turkey. Dressed in brown woolen narrow-legged peasant trousers, a wide red and white striped sash and a black and white checked shirt, Mavrodia sat in a Turkish i prison cell here and told now and why he ran away from hi 3 little native village of Arapli i.i Elhova province, 18 miles from the Turkish border. "The trouble began when my uncle gave me a white ballot to cast against the Communist gov ernment in the May elections," he said. "My uncle is a religious man and has more education than I. I only went to school six years. Land Confiscated "My uncle was always talking against the Communists and said they were ruining our coun try. I listened to him because I was angry, too. My father owned 130 dekars of land but the Communists say now he least 70 dekars of good land even for a bare living. "So when my uncle gave me the white ballot I was angry 1 as well. enough to put it in the box. But the Communists noted all the names of those who cast white ballots and a few days later the police came to visit us. They asked me why I gave the white vote. They only beat me a little but they beat my uncle much more. "A few days later he tried to escape into Turkey and was its operations from purley do mestic airlines and manufac turers to include foreign carriers "That sort of experience does n't mean the government sur plus disposal has been waste ful," he remarked. "Those re ctifiers had a particularly highly-specialized use for war com munications. In civilian work, they're just impractical."

The watchman had his watch man's gun. But when we were going through the forest we were suddenly surrounded by six sol diers on horses. They took the watchman's gun and sent one of the soldiers to guard us and take us to prison. "It was still dark and wh?n we were going through a thick ( part of the fcrest I escaped again, me soldier snot a me but he could not follow because of his ether two prisoners." I don't know what happened to them. "I kept going in the direction I thought was Turkey. The next morning some Turkish soldiers caught me and I knew I was across the boundary." Call Him Lucky Turkish police say Mavrodia is extremely lucky. The Bulgar ians patrol their boundary so well and have set up such elab orate safeguards that almost every would-be escapee is caught. Several months ago refugees were coming across daily, some times in groups. In addition to patrols, every villager and peas ant in the border region is re quired to report to the police twice daily, when he goes to his fields to work and when he re turns. A villager is punished even for failing to report any missing member of his grouo at night. The Turks say Mavrodia will be assigned to live with some Turkish-Bulgarians for several weeks before he will be free to live in Turkey, since Turkish au thorities make every safeguard against spies.

SEARS United Press Staff Correspondent NEW HAVEN, Conn. U.R)E. R. Jacobson, sales engineer, in a sense always is looking for a needle in the haystack. And he claims that the needle is some times worth more than the hay stack. Jacobson guides the destinies of a highly specialized outfit, Aircraft Radio Industries. His job is to find replacements for the receivers, transmitters and radio navigation equipment which move from his firm's $1 -000,000 inventory. "Take the dynamotor recti fier deal," he said. "We were looking for a special type of dy namotor used in planes and found them in a government surplus offering. Priced at S5 each, they had cost the covern- i lht morale which made this na- ment $25. ' .. 'tlon.creat. Just as a man's spirit goes on the block. Saving Made "'Perhaps months or even a year later, a need for the recti fier arises and we have it in stock. True, the government pays us more than we paid for it. But the savings in not hav ing to warehouse and handle mountains of equipment are great enough to offset it." Some airliners, however, pull boners. "One line queried us for some test sets," Jacobson said. "The following day I spotted some on auction, bought 40 and offered them to the trade. The airline which had inquired never order ed, but others did and in six weeks we were sold out. A month later, that airline came in with the very same inquiry, and it still hasn't found any." Grasshoppers, the European corn borer, and the corn root worm are the worst threat to Neoraskas crops in lJ49, ac cording to state university ento mologists. AUntrO i f 1 -rrt r,-i yLYTLE HULL HAVE YVE MISSED THE BOAT? E DON'T BELIEVE our gov ernment considers the Angus Ward case closed. We feel certain that appeal to other nations to use their influence in obtaining Ward's release was to construct a sound and just position from which we could launch without criticism a diplomatic or even a physical at tack upon the Chinese Communists if they continue to molest our of ficials or citizens. We will not believe our govern ment intends to let its people down We are not dealing: here with recognized authority but with a lower order of orientals who would cut a man's throat to see which way he would fail, ticntlc or rough words will go unheeded by these creatures. Only fear can deter thera. As for recognition by the occi dental nations, they a.-e already recognized by their oriental cous ins behind the iron curtain. Swelled with the conceit of conquest they probably arc not concerned about us distant Americans. There is little doubt that Russia has put them up to abusing us for obvious purposes. America must teach them to quit it We believe our government will send an ultimatum to the Chinese Communist leaders if any further molestation of our citizens occurs stating that one more act of brutality will bring immediately a large force of bombers for the Nationalists to use on the Communist armies. Our government cannot allow its people to be manhandled by these hoofllums. The step will be a grave one. But to allow the Chinese Com munists to frighten and show con tempt for our people will destroy 8? 5? fey I? f I m i 4 Mgf iri fMw M'Wf'S.ls Iff! v wM ill m i ft? it Mi i F!
