American Communists Barred from Important Army Undertakings
Washington, (UP)—American Communists were barred today by the war department from holding commissions or undertaking any of the army's "sensitive" responsibilities.
The new policy was announced under pressure of inquiry. The department's re-examination of its policy relating to disaffected or subdued soldiers apparently coincided with the new security policies. Soviet Union, espionage operations
Radar and atomic energy, especially, will be off bounds.
Duties in connection with secret or confidential codes also were barred to soldiers either disaffected or subversive.
The department defined subservient personnel as any engaged in activities of any sort directed against the nation's military security. Disaffected soldiers are those who lack loyalty to the government and constitution of the United States.
The department's announcement did not mention Communists. A department spokesman said, however, that membership in the Communist party would be considered as a disqualification for the sensitive duties covered by the new policy. It is possible, also, that former party membership would be construed as disqualifying army personnel.
The new policy has been transmitted to all interior and overseas commanders. They will be responsible for making it work. Disqualified soldiers will not be permitted to attend officer candidate schools nor to take aviation training. They will be barred from all duties in connection with information, education or orientation of troops.
Drapery Designs Sold
Designs for drapery material by Ina Katherine Roderick, fine arts junior, and Marilyn Sweeney, fine arts senior, have been sold to a design company, New York, Marjorie Whitney, associate professor of design, said today.
Is Your Ticker On the Blink? Trade It In!
Chicago. (UP)—Dr. Claude S. Beek, Cleveland surgeon, believes that medical science in the future will enable a patient to trade in his old heart for a new one.
"Basic research will consist of mechanical replacement of any part of the oxygen system which includes the heart, lungs and blood vessels." he told the Chicago Medical Society's clinical conference.
"Such basic research will make possible many procedures that at present scarcely enter the mind of the physician." he said.
In the future, Beck predicted, the heart specialist will be able to see the heart he is treating.
All Civilian 'Jury' To See Atom Tests
Washington. (UP)—Four members of congress—two each from the senate and the house—will be included on the nine or 10-man commission to be named by President Truman to review results of the navy's atomic bomb tests, White House Press Secretary Charles G. Ross announced today.
Ross said that one of the persons invited by Mr. Truman to sit on the commission had not yet accepted.
Ross revealed also that the decision to set up an exclusively civil council was made by the president after discussion and approval by the cabinet.
The White House secretary emphasized that the board would have no jurisdiction over the tests, but would merely observe, evaluate and report.
Philadelphia, (UP)—Some of those nylons you can't get are being shipped to Mexico where they bring prices ranging up to $50 a pair, it was learned today.
At least 648,000 pairs have been seen in the last two weeks, it was reported.
Shipping the nylons across the border where there are no price ceilings is perfectly legal.

Army Stayed Clear of Labor Disputes, Gagliardo Says
