Device Tested To De-Smoke Smudge Pots BERKELEY (UP)—The University of California has taken the smoke out of the smudge pots. No longer, university engineers report, need there be a pall of smoke hanging over the citrus areas on a frosty morning. Severe conditions of the last two winters demonstrated the ability of the University developed orchard heater to give virtually smokeless service. The heating device is known as the return-stack orchard heater. Its performance is reported by A. S. Lebhard, mechanical engineer, and Robert A. Kepner, agricultural engineer, in the June issue of California Agriculture. The heater has been available for several years but the mild winters immediately following the war made an acceptable field test impossible. Then came the record low temperatures of the last two winters. The heater was subjected to all the demands and abuses under which an orchard heater must be able to operate successfully in the field. Through two seasons—for 180 hours—the heater operated without being cleaned. "The experience during these two heating seasons," Leonard and Kepner reported, "has demonstrated the ability of this heater to render reliable and virtually smokeless orchard heating service under the most severe conditions." The device is the only bowl type heater available, the engineers said, which has been proved by field tests to provide reliable operation over long periods without cleaning and without objectionable amounts of smoke, even in mass heating. The basic defect of all ordinary bowl-type heaters is that they produce soot and smoke. University engineers set out to correct this fault. From their studies they concluded that the smokiness of a hydrocarbon flame could be reduced by diluting the fuel vapors with some inactive gas before they reached the combustion zone. Tests proved they were correct. It was found that any hydrocarbon fuel—even such smoky fuels as acetylene and benzene—can be made to burn with a soft, transparent and smokeless flame by dilution with sufficient amounts of carbon dioxide, water vapor or nitrogen.

Death of Navy Medic in YMCA Investigated Found dead in his bed at the Santa Ana YMCA yesterday when a maid, Anna Noble, came to clean his room, Lee E. Welton, 30, navy chief pharmacists mate, was the subject of official investigation today to determine the cause of his death. A liquor bottle, nearly empty, was on the dresser in his room, and authorities believe that he drank excessive amount of liquor, or mixed some poison with it. The gas jet was open, but so was a window and the transom, so that death apparently did not come from that source. Deputy Coroner Frank Hanson, who ordered an autopsy at the Christensen-Peno mortuary in Long Beach, where the body was taken, said he understood that Welton was estranged from a wife and son, somewhere in Indiana. He was attached to Santa Ana Marine air station at El Toro.

LOS ANGELES ST. ANAHEIM Freedom for Central Europe By SIGRID ARNE AP Foreign News Analyst (For DeWitt MacKenzie) Lord Tedder, Marshal of the British Royal Air Force, has just tagged a political dead cat back to view. He thinks the Western program hold communism won't mean much until the West makes it possible for the nations of Central Europe to regain their freedom. That means principally Poland, Zechoslovakia, Romania, Hungary and Bulgaria. Russian troops and Russian-trained stooges have helped to set up communist governments in all of them since World War II. Only after the whole area had been grabbed by the communists and the United States lead off in "containment" policy. The program started with aid to Greece and Turkey in 1947, went through the Marshall Plan to help Western Europe and is now building the North Atlantic Pact. But all the time no top political leader in the West said much about the people of Middle Europe who had failed to collect what the United Nations Charter promised in the whole world: the right to determine their own form of government and to preserve national independence. This left outside the pale many people who had contributed much to Europe's old brilliance. Now Tedder says this cradle of European culture must be made secure. In a Washington interview he said: "We are in a struggle of ideologies. We've got to win it psychologically and morally. Europe is the third-place of democracy. I think active leader of the majority, Jan Masaryk, either jumped or was pushed from a window his death. The life of Georg Dimitrov of Bulgaria was saved when the American ambassador, Maxward Earnes, drew him to Switzerland. Ferenc Nagy, of Hungary fled to Switzerland. Until the recent London conference, Western leaders made it appear that the West's struggle with dictatorship would stop at the Rhine. This has now been extended to include Western Germany but to Middle European nations; this must seem although they are being conceded in Moscow. Tedder objected to such a notion. So do all the old political exiles of Middle Europe — Mikolajczyk, Nagy, Dimitrov and the rest, who have just ended a three-day conference in Washington. Mikolajczyk, in a keynote speech urged the West to forget its old "non-intervention" policy. He warned against the use of force since that would mean "suicide" to the people living under communist rule. What weapons does Mikolajczyk suggest? He says the West could announce a definite policy toward Middle Europe to let the people behind the Iron Curtain know they have not been forgotten and so put new resistance into them. He wants the United Nations to take a more definite stand. The U.N. has protested violations of human rights in Romania, Hungary and Bulgaria. But it has said nothing about the forced mass deportation of the Baltic peoples and the equally serious human rights violations in other countries. He thinks the right of protest before the United Nations should be extended to exiled political leaders. Now that right is limited to governments, and all the governments behind the Iron Curtain are represented by communists. Casa Colina Enlarged to Meet New Needs With a record of all-out service to the stricken children during the polio epidemic of the past two years, Casa Colina today is prepared with enlarged quarters and additional equipment to render even greater service to a larger number of children should there be another epidemic this summer, it was announced today by Frances Eleanor Smith, executive vice president of the home for crippled children in China. "We hope and pray there will not be another epidemic," said Mrs. Smith. "But we want our friends to know that, should there be, we are prepared to enter the fight with everything we have to prevent crippling defects to our children as a result of this dread disease." During normal times the percentage of polio patients in the home averages approximately one third of the total number of patients. During polio epidemics this increases to two-thirds or more, Mrs. Smith said. In the past two summers we have dismissed all patients who could go home for a couple of months without retarding their progress so that we might take every polio patient who sought our help. We did not turn down a single polio applicant. These children were emergencies who had to have our services at once if they were to be restored to health and a normal childhood again." With the Fenton Memorial Wing completed, the home now has a capacity of 58 beds, almost twice its former capacity. Therapy and care of the patients at Casa Colina are under the superscript HELD FOR ESPIONALE left the Federal Build in $100,000 bail on J.

With the Fenton Memorial Wing completed, the home now has a capacity of 58 beds, almost twice its former capacity. Therapy and care of the patients at Casa Colina are under the supervision of Dr. Ward M. Rolland of Los Angeles, an orthopedic surgeon associated with crippled children's work throughout Southern California. Treatments for polio patients include hot packs in acute stages, Hubbard tank and pool therapy, muscle re-education, gait training and other treatments as prescribed. The home employs two registered physical therapists; one registered occupational therapist and a large nursing staff supervised by registered nurses. Casa Colina has no restrictions of race, color, creed or territorial lines, said Mrs. Smith. The majority of patients come from Southern California but children have been accepted from as far north as Alaska and as far south as Nicaragua. The home is supported largely by individual and group contributions. The 1949 all-acident death rate was 61.2 deaths per 100,000 population, the National Safety Council says. This is the lowest rate on record. Take the Key... Take a Ride... Take the Leader! Drive home LOVE LAUGHS EVERYTHING You'll always remember this knight!
