PAY Board Has Critics Maybe It's Just Medium Wrong THIS THING'S GoT A DIRTY MIND, A By ROBERT DIETSCH Scripps-Howard Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Oct. 7-More and more Americans are turning to an unusual source for vice on personal problems: The Ouija Talking Board. More than two million will be sold this year.

Ouija (pronounced boards are considered by Parker Brothers Inc. of Salem, as a "game made for family fun and enjoyment." The manufacturer makes no claims that its product has any occult powers; but it's clear UAW To Boost Strike Fund DETROIT, Oct. 7 (UPI) United Auto Workers delegates will meet in a special national convention Sunday to pump more than $12 million a month into their strike fund and keep it from being depleted by the strike against Ford Motor Co. The Ford strike, now in its second month, drains more than $20 million a month from the fund and UAW officials were worried that a long strike against Ford could exhaust the original 67 million strike fund before a settlement. Some 3000 delegates were expected to attend the 00 COMPLAINTS NO from letters which Parker Brothers gets that most Ouija customers ask the boards a wide variety of questions and rely on Ouija for providing mysteriously correct replies.

One girl wrote: "The Ouija board told me some very bad news. I don't believe your Ouija because I'm not that kind of girl, if you know what I mean." Another customer complained: "Ouija works only some places. For instance, it won't work at my cousin's house, but when I take it to my friend's house me answers to all my questions." From a third: "Ouija gives very good answers early in the day but very dirty answers at night." Points To Answers Ouija is a device consisting of a board inscribed with the alphabet and other characters and a triangular planchette (or small board) which rests on a vertical pencil and two casters. Two persons hold the board on their knees, place their fingertips on the planchette and ask a question. The planchette then (but not always) moves around the board to spell out an answer or point to the "yes" or "no" squares.

As even the dictionary defines it, the Ouija's pointer "is thought to spell out mediumistic communications." Ouija was invented in the late NOTHING 'til 11890s by William Fuld of Baltimore. It enjoyed great sales successes in early 1920s and early full of nathen tional and personal uncertainty. Periods, in other words, similar to today. Monopoly Trails which purchased the William Fuld Co. last year, maintains rights over the name "Ouija," but the company concedes that competitors make other types of "occult" games and that they, too, are enjoying sales gains.

Parker's other major game is Monopoly, but this year for the first time it will run second best to the Ouija million unit sales vs. 2 million. Monopoly now sells in 12 languages (the latest being Hebrew, for the Israel market) but still is banned behind the Iron Curtain as being too capitalistic. with three strands of barbed wire, guard a strange-looking aluminum structure that resembles a cross between a farm silo and a railroad roundhouse. Security badges are required to come within miles of the outer fence.

But Col. John C. Raaen commander of the Army's Ballistic Research Laboratories, insists the fences are meant more to protect strangers from straying into danger than to provide security for the enclosed facility. Won't Violate Treaty For within the 80-foot-tall structure a potent nuclear reactor soon will generate short bursts of neutrons and gamma rays identical to those created in an above-ground atomic explosion. But without violating the nuclear test ban treaty.

The new device, four years and $5 million in the design and construction, will enable the military to bombard such things as missiles, tanks, planes and radar sets with concentrated doses of radiation to determine how they might be shielded against nuclear attack. The pulse reactor could be used to insure that the electronic circuits and other components of the new Nike-X antimissile system are sufficiently shielded to withstand the effects of exploding enemy missiles as well as those of the Nike system's own initial antimissile shots. Produces No Fallout Dr. Hubert P. Yockey, chief of the reactor branch of the Ballistic Research Laboratories, said the new reactor, known officially as the Army pulse radiation facility, will enable the military to simulate atomic explosions in the kiloton range, equivalent to thousands tons of TNT.

But no actual explosion will take place, he said, and no fallout will be produced. He explained that a controlled burst of radiation can be produced by inserting a burst rod into the reactor to render it momentarily supercritical. Scientists and technicians conducting tests will be protected in an underground control building whose concrete walls are seven feet thick. Closed-circuit television will allow them to watch what actually happens in the reactor room during test, while a large array of sophisticated devices will allow precise measurements of effects. Can Penetrate Walls Yockey said a health physicist will be on duty at all times during tests to tell the other scientists when it is safe to leave their control area and enter the adjacent test building.

The reactor room, 80 feet tall and about 100 feet wide, is walled with fiberglass in between aluminum sheets. But the neutrons and gamma rays will easily penetrate this thin wall, Yockey said. Most of the radiation will be absorbed in the area within 450 yards of the reactor, marked by the inner fence 12 feet high, he said. Some Tests Outside All of the radiation certainly will be absorbed well before reaching the second fence, 1500 key yards and away, Raaen. according But to to Yocjust on the safe side, the facility's labs and offices are in a new building just outside the outer fence.

Some of the tests will actually be held outside the reactor room, by wheeling the reactor on its boom outdoors, Yockey said. This would be done, he said, in those instances where the product to be radiated is too big to fit into the reactor room, when the bouncing of radiaItion around the inside of the room might interfere with the objectives of the test. Historian Sees Parallel to Vietnam The most important lesson the United States learned from the war with Mexico was military-a lesson that parallels in some ways those of the war in Vietnam, Dr. Norman L. Graehner, history professor the University of Virginia, said here last night.

He spoke before the East Tennessee Historical Society at the Dulin Gallery of Art, Kingston Pike. "Our main problem in the Mexican war was how to end it," Dr. Graebner said, "just as our big problem in the Vietnam of the Mexican came sudwar is how to it. The end end. denly, and our war with North Vietnam may end suddenly.

"In Congress the was long and heated, just as is the present debate over ending the North Vietnam war." Some members of Congress urged the United States to put in more and more power and conquer Mexico, others, like John C. Calhoun, urged a pullback and a defensive war." At the time, he said, there was a U. S. commissioner in Mexico named N. P.

Trist. Trist had made an agreement on ending the war, unknown to the U.S. Government. There were no telegraphs or jet planes to transmit news then. "But at last Washington 8 learned of the treaty Trist had negotiated, and Congress approved it.

He left a note saying he was "very much confused." Astronaut Hailed for 'Deep Faith' could not shake it." Saluted by Jets DICKINSON, Oct. 7 UP -The parish priest who was his best friend pictured Astronaut C. C. Williams Jr.

Saturday as a man of deep faith who died before reaching "ordination" through flight into space. The 35-year-old Marine Corps major died Thursday when his jet crashed in Northern Florida on a flight from Cape Kennedy to the Manned Spacecraft Center near this Houston suburb where Williams made his home. Rev. Eugene Cargill, assistant pastor of Shrine of the True Cross Roman Catholic Church, said at Saturday's memorial service, "This man had an unbelievable amount of faith. You As the service neared its close, four Astronauts piloting T38 jet trainers like the one in which Williams died zoomed low over Dickinson, rattling the church's stained glass windows.

One of the planes soared straight up into the sun and as the widow, Beth, left the church with Williams' parents, the remaining three over again in the "missing man" formation. The couple's daughter, Catherine Ann, born last January, was left at home. Funeral Is Monday The priest said that in conversations with Williams, he compared Astronaut preparation for the priesthood, and had told Williams that "ordination" would come with Williams' flight into space. At 11 a.m. Monday, Father Cargill will conduct graveside ceremonies in Arlington National Cemetery where Williams will be buried with full military honors.

At Moody Air Force Base, investigators are reconstructing the wreckage of Williams' T38 to find clues to the cause of the crash. Passing of U.S. Secrets Bared LONDON, Oct. 7 (PA British diplomat in Washington tipped off the Russians to U.S. strategy in the Korean War and provided other information at the height of the Cold War, The London Sunday Times said.

Continuing its probe of the Harold (Kim) Philby spy case, The Times said the secrets were passed by Donald Maclean, who in 1951 fled to Moscow. Philby, also an official at the British Embassy then and a double agent for the Russians, fled to the Soviet Union four years ago. The Times said its information came from a secret intelligence report in Washington, compiled by the State Department in 1956 assess the damage done by Maclean and his fellow-defector, Guy Burgess.
