Speech Debunks Rain Myth
The belief that increasing the earth's water surface by artificial methods would increase rainfall is false Dr. Walter Kollmorgen, professor of geography, told Botany club members Tuesday.
Dr. Kollmorgen said in the 1800's on the plains people used all sorts of devices to increase the rate of evaporation to produce rain. Trees were planted, soil was plowed and ditches were dug. Not only did the farmers believe that man's efforts had a bearing upon rainfall, explained Dr. Kollmorgen, but scientists also thought that man could increase rainfall.
increase rainfall.
This presumption, asserted Dr. Kollmorgen, is false, as it is not so much local evaporation which affects rainfall but rather the water carried in from the oceans.

Bednasek Found Not Guilty
Iowa City, Iowa, April 5—(U.P.) Robert Bednasek, 24, was found innocent today of strangling his coed sweetheart at a forbidden rendezvous by candlelight Dec. 11, 1949.
The jury filed into the courtroom at 9:24 p.m. and the foreman handed the verdict to the county clerk, who in turn gave it to Judge James P. Gaffney.
oys of many towns. The small-town jury of eight men and four women reached its verdict after almost 12 hours of deliberations, which began Tuesday at 10:02 am.
Bendnesk was accused by the state of deliberately strangling pretty Margaret "Gee Gee" Jackson, 20, a daughter of socially prominent parents, because her love for him had cooled.
The white-haired jurist read the verdict, returned it to the clerk, and jury foreman Robert Bothell then intoned the verdict.
Bednasek, husky University of Iowa psychology senior and former merchant mariner, slumped in his chair and sobbed. Defense Attorney Clair Hamilton wept, too. The judge finally quieted the commotion.
Bednasek leaned across the counsel table as the judge announced he would sign an order at once freeing him. Then, Bednasek walked to the jury box and began thanking the jurors, many of whom were weeping.
