Dr. William Multon Marston,
creator of th lie detector, died re
cently at the age of 53 years. The
doctor originated the test in 1915
after his study of systolic blood
pressure in relation to deliberate
deception. He is credited with the
exoneration of a number of per
sons who, because of strong cir
cumstantial evidence, would
otherwise have been convicted of
murder.
Land Along
Alcan Opened
To Veterans
WASHINGTON, (JP)—Secretary
of interior Krug Friday ordered
2,750,000 acres of unsurveyed pub
lic lands in Alaska opened to
homestead settlement by World
War II veterans effective October,
2. The land lies along both sides i
of the Alaska Highway.
Krug said that under regula
tions, veterans’ priority on the
land will extend to February 2, j
after which it will be subject to
settlement by the general public.
Priority rights for veterans al-1
ready have been provided in con
nection with the homesteading of
surveyed tracts along the highway.
An order of July 1, 1947, which
made the lands along the Alaska
Highway available for use under
the public land laws, said that the
major part of the area is “unsuit
able for agricultural purposes."
Veterans must actually settle on
the land to obtain title. However,
they will be given up to two years
credit for military service in meet
ing homestead residence require
ments. With maximum credits, it
is possible for a veteran to estab
lish his right to a homestead by
only seven months’ residence.

NEW YORK, i/P)— Millions of |
Americans who lost an hour of
sleep last April 27 evened the;
score for another year when they
pushed their clocks back one hour
Saturday night to mark the end of
daylight saving time.
Daylight time ended in most
communities where it had been
observed at 2 a.m. Sunday morn
ing. Some 650 communities in the
United States and Canada and 19
foreign countries observed day
light time this year.
The change also affected rail
roads, bus lines and radio stations
which conformed to daylight
schedules.

Suggests “Gentle
man’s Agreement’
To Aid Europe
WASHINGTON l^-Two Dem
ocratic Senators suggested Satur
day that President Truman try for
a "gentleman’s agreement” with
Congressional leaders to use exist
ing federal funds for stopgap aid
to Europe during the next three
months.
Senators Russell (Ga.> and Mc
Clellan (Ark.) told a reporter in
separate interviews this would be
one way to avoid a special session
of Congress to deal with emer
gency assistance abroad.
The possibility of a special ses
sion call is expected to be one of
the things discussed when the
President meets leading legisla
tors of both parties in a White
House conference today.
McClellan said the stopgap
money might come from the Ex
pert-Import bank, the Reeonstruc- i
tion Finance corporation or the
Commodity Credit corporation.
The “gentleman's agreement”
would be needed because none of
these agencies was set up by Cor.- |
gress for the purpose of giving re
lief to hungry foreign nstinns.
But the Export-Import bank,
for example has $800,000,000 of
uncommitted funds on hand and
there have been suggestions in
several quarters that this could be
used to tide over such emergency
cases as Italy and France.
In this connection, some signifi
4
cance was seen in the fact that a
last-minute invitation to the Mon
day conference was sent to chair
man Wolcott <R.-Mich.> of the
House banking committee, which
handled the legislation last session
extening the life of the Export-j
Import bank.

Methodists Blast
Adm. Halsey For
Liquor Comment
WASHING TON, — The
Methodist board of temperance let
loose a broadside at Admiral Wil
liam F. «Bull * Halsey today for
saying that "As a general rule, 1
never trust a fighting man who
doesn’t smoke or drink."
The board retorted that drink
ing makes men fight “in thousands
of saloons every day, but we have
never known it to make anyone
fight well.”
And if Halsey carried bourbon
for his carrier pilots in the Pa
cific when he was Third Fleet
Commander, the board declared,
he was guilty of an "astonishing
breach of naval discipline."
Halsey, whose reflections on li
quor appeared in a recent series
of articles in the Saturday Eve
ning Post, didn’t even swing a gun
turret when reporters found him
in San Francisco and told what
the board was shying. His answer
was “No coipment.”
The board’s attack filled six
columns of its newspaper-size
publication “The Clipsheet."
“Many of the greatest military
men the world has produced have
been notably abstemious,” the ar
ticle said, naming Robert E. Lee,
Jeb Stuart, Stonewall Jackson,
Sergeant Alvin York, and Jimmy
Doolittle.
“Alcohol,” it added, “is a dead
ly menace to the country's safety
whether it is in the brain of ad
miral, general, or diplomat.”
