The order |stemmed from his failure to pay his third wife, Jonnie Lee Mac- fadden,* $1,500 in alimony and $5,- 600 in legal fees. The justice called on Mrs. Mac- fadden, who recently won separa- tion from the physical culturist, to |show Thursday why the amount should not be cut down. Macfadden, who said he once had 50 millions, claims he now has only a $2,000 - a - month annuity which has to cover judgments and back-tax payments, leaving him barely $100-a-month for personal needs. He thus could not comply with the contempt of court order, Macfadden said. * Discharge Of Orphanage Head Asked HARTFORD, Conn. — The State Welfare Department, charg- ing that orphans were thrown against’ walls and whipped with leather belts as punishment, has }asked John Lodge to fire the superintendent vf the New Haven County temporary home for chil- dren.

BLAKESLEE AP Science Reporter BERKELEY, Calif. —Air car |be turned into fertilizer by magi- {eal little algae, raising the pros- | pect of growing food crops without soil, a scientist reports. Algae are one-celled plants which grow in water. One blue-green type of algae now is found to have of the air and make it available for growing crops. This is the main thing that fer- tilizers do—supply nitrogen for growing crops. . a i The first success in growing rice plants using nitrogen grabbed from | the air by the algae was described to the American Assn. for the Ad- vancement of Science by Dr. Dan- jiel I. Arnon, department of plant nutrition, University of California. The finding offers a cheap, ef- fective way of fertilizing varous food crops. It could be of immense significance, especially in the hun- gry Orient. Dr, Arnon added the blue-green algae, named Anabaena cylindrica, to rice plants, and found the rice grew without «needing nitrogen | from the soil. They got it all-from | the air through the algae. It’s long been known that cer- tain algae can take or “fix” ni- trogen from the air and secrete it for the use of rice plants, or | | add it to the soil when the algae} | died. | But this process was thought to} ‘be too slow to be of any real sig- | nificance. | Dr. Arnon found that under prop- er conditions these algae can take nitrogen from the air at rates al- most 200 times faster than had been believed. The algae grow fast- er than credited. | the sun, and don’t need materials from the soil in order to produce nitrogen. They thus could be of | great importance in future agri- | culture. | Beer-Drinking Horse Nabbed ST. ALBANS, W. Va. \—Police arrested a beer-drinking horse and its owner here Monday when ‘beth were seen weaving down the | street near a tavern. Homer Carpenter, 50, of the Two |and Three-Quarter Mile Creek area, was jailed. His horse was teken to the city garage. Police |said both were intoxicated and | Carpenter admitted giving the wob- |bily legged horse ‘‘about two | quarts of beer.” | Carpenter paid his fine yester- day, picked up his sobered horse ‘and departed. great ability to take nitrogen out» The algae get their energy from | 5 to Democrat Abraham A. Ribi- coff. The report was written by former Welfare Commissioner Howard Houston, who resigned last week to accept a U.S. government post in India. Houston told Lodge that Fred Stickels, superintendent of the home in West Haven, should be kept on no longer “than is abso- lutely necessary’ because a Wel- fare Department investigation showed Stickels is “grossly unable to manage the home.” Houston said his investigators found that a 22-year-old, 200-pound attendant once twisted a boy’s arm until it broke because the boy had gotten out of line. The same attendant, Houston said, dragged another boy across the dining room floor and hurled him against the wall because the boy swore at the table. Houston said the boy suffered a concussion. Stickels has denied the charges, many of which Houston said were based on complainis of two former employes. Houston said the Child Welfare League of America will conduct a full-scale investigation of the home, where some 130 state wards are housed until they can be accommo- dated in private homes. New Haven County’s three com- missioners have decided not to dis- miss Stickels before the welfare league completes its investigation. Burke Dodges Issue Of Wife’s Wishes For 1956 CINCINNATI (#—Former Demo- cratic Sen. Thomas A, Burke, who said his wife decided he should not be a senatorial candidate in 1956, last night dodged a question asking if he would conform to his wife’s wishes. Burke was defeated in Novem- ber by Republican George H. Ben- der for the remaining two years of the late Sen. Robert A. Taft's term. A recount gave Bender a victory margin of some 3,000 votes. When a reporter asked Burke if he was going to run for the Senate in 1956 he replied: “My wife has already decided that. She says I'm not.” But when he was asked if he jever acts contrary to his wife’s wishes, he replied: | “All I'll say is that I'll keep an jinterest in public affairs.” ‘Boy Won't Talk ‘On Liquor Sale BOSTON #—William J. Gallant, |17, appeared. yesterday before the | Boston Licensing Board on a po- ‘lice complaint against a liquor |store dealer accused of selling to | minors. “Did you purchase the liquor?” asked Board Chairman Mary Dris- coll. 3 “I refuse to answer On the {grounds that I might incriminate | myself,” Gallant replied. : | Miss Driscoll tried to convince |the youth to change his attitude. rhysical Culture Proponent Geis Temporary Respite From Jail First Audubon Screen Tour ToBe Monday Presented as the first number in a series of this season’s five Au- dubon Screen Tours, brought to Key West jointly by the National Audubon Society and the Monroe County Audubon Society, are Dr. Lorus and Margery Milne of Dur- ham, New Hampshire, who will ap- Pear at Key West High School at 8 p. m. Monday with their out- standing color film “Panama Ven- ture.” In addition to showing the strange and unusual tropical wild- life and bird life, the Milne’s film, narrated by them, features the pale-skinned Indians of Darien, who darken their skins and maneuver great dugout canoes full of plan- tain down flooded rivers to trade for cloth and cooking utensils; and in contrast are the darker Indians of San Blas who find escape from malaria by sleeping far offshore and whose copra crop sell for gold nose rings and other jewelry to adorn their wives and daughters. Appearing for the first time be- fore Key West Audiences, the Mil- ne’s still photography has appear- ed on the pages of Life, Holiday, New York Times and other publi- cations here and abroad. Dr. Milne has an adaptation of Panama Venture designed especiai- ly for school children which he and Mrs. Milne will present in two mat- inees, the first on Monday at 2 o'clock in the afternoon at Truman Elementary School and the second on Tuesday morning at nine o’clock at Poinciana Elementary School. Morse To Fight For Wage Boost WASHINGTON (# — Sen. Morse (Ind-Ore) predicted today that Congress next year will boost the 75-cent hourly minimum wage and said he will fight for an increase at least to $1. He said in an interview he will seek also to have the Fair Labor Standards Act applied to all Amer- ican workers. Many are now ex- empty, including all those whose jobs do not directly involve inter- state commerce. About 24 million workers are. covered, Secretary of Labor Mitchell has come out for an increase in the minimum wage. Some congres- sional sources said today they ex- pect President Eisenhower to ask Congress to raise the 75-cent mini- mum fixed in 1949 and to broaden coverage. These sources said the proposed increase might be to 85 | or 90 cents an hour, just about| compensating for a 12.9 per cent | increase in the cost of living since 1949. Morse said three major factors call for a minimum wage boost: (1) low-wage families need help in meeting a cost of living level near its peak, (2) an increase would spiral through the economy and thus ‘“‘broaden the purchasing base of American consumers” and | (3) a higher figure would be “a demonstration of the strength of the capitalistic section of the wor!d in advancing the welfare of the Reds Claim Rhee Will Gain By New Terrorist Croup TOKYO (# — Red China’s radio} charged Tuesday that South Korea Plans to set up a new “terror or- ganization” to strengthen the hand of President Syngman Rhee. The broadcast, heard here, said} members of a central investiga- tion bureau would have immunity from arrest “no matter what their crimes.” “The new organization will) strengthen Rhee’s police, already the biggest per population in the world,” the broadcast said. “It would duplicate a previous inspection bureau that jailed and killed many South Ko- rea people for opposition to the American imperialists and Syng- man Rhee.” 7 Hurt In Riot NAHA, Okinawa (#—Seven con- victs, one a suspected Communist organizer, were wounded Monday night when guards broke up a riot of 35 inmates at Okinawa National Penitentiary. Paul H. Skuse, public safety di- rector for the U.S.-sponsored Ryukyus government, said the up- roar started when men from one celibleck refused to return to their cells after dinner.
