How many? isn't estimated yet' The Defense department said to day there are unidentified American war dead in Korea.

But how many won't be known until American graves registration teams can thoroughly explore the area. The work of these highly trained teams probably will help clear up at least some of the 3,877 case re ported as "missing in action" the latest official casualty an nouncement MANY OF THE missing may be alive, taken prisoners by the advancing Communists. But others may have been killed in the fighting. Will an unknown American from among the Korean dead eventually join the Unknown Soldier of World War and the one from World War II and be buried in the Arling ton tomb next spring? That is a decision for Congress, which authorized enshrinement for the dead of the two world wars. TTT1 naH vvudievci- uic uiuuuci.

9 (AP) Dr. Percy Brown, an X-ray pioneer, is dead at 74 after a scientific career which he once said had exposed him to as much "radioactive damage" as "an experimental Bikini goat" The first radiologist to be appointed to the Harvard medical school. Dr. Brown took up the study of roentgen rays in 1903. Thirty-one years later he retired because, he said, of "ill health due to the effects of prolonged radiation." He died yesterday.

Associates said he underwent more than 50 operations on infected portions of his fingers or skin areas turned cancerous by radiation. He was termed "a martyr to X-ray" by Dr. John F. Conlin, medical information director of the Massachusetts medical society. REV.

(AP WIREPHOTO) Not Quitting Knee Deep in Civil War Washington, Oct 9 (AP) Close associates disclosed today that President Truman is planning major foreign policy speecn in New York this month. The speech, a non-political talk to the United Nations general assembly, is one of possibly three or four talks Mr. Truman -contemplates making before the congressional elections in November. THESE SOURCES, who cannot be quoted by name, said Mr. Truman has definitely abandoned any thought of an extensive "whistle- stop" political campaign.

He had contemplated such a stumping tour before the Reds invaded South Korea and made inopportune a direct new appeal in behalf of the fair deal." A White House announcement on the New York speech Oct. 24 will await a formal invitation from the United Nations. The occasion is the fifth anniversary of the date when the United Nations charter became effective. The President, fresh from a week's rest aboard the yacht Williamsburg in Chesapeake bay and Potomac waters, may decide this week what other talks he will make. AT ONE TIME Mr.

Truman had planned tc campaign in practically every -section, but that assignment has now been taken over by Vice- President Alben Barkley. However, Mr. Truman is under stood, to have told Democratic Na tional Chairman William M. Boyle, he will be available for what ever speaking chores Boyle may think advisable. Boyle has said recently that he expects Mr.

Truman to make at least a couple of nationwide radio broadcasts in behalf of Democratic candidates. George W. Watts, 89, Dies in St. Mary's George W. Watts, 89, of 905 East North street, died at 6:35 a.m.yes terday in St Mary's hospital.

FINED ON DISORDERLY Bobbie June Skelton, 24, of 360 West Prairie avenue, arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct following a disturbance at the Wagon Wheel cafe, pleaded guilty and was fined $10.40 by Justice Bert Railroad News Soybean Rush Starts; Yards Filled Today New soybeans really slugged their way into Decatur j-ailroad yards over- the week end, but it was expected" the rather general rains over the soybean area Saturday and Sunday would again hold back harvesting a few days and the Monday morning accumulation in the several local rail yards could be cleared up by the delay. Getting an exact figure on the number of beans standing in cars in the local yards at any designated hour is almost an impossibility, as bean mills keep unloading them and thus creating empties out of loads while more trains continue to pull into the yards at all hours, and nearly all have some beans. BUT A SPECIAL effort is mad by cooperation 6f all the roads to get something of a count of beans on hand each morning, and Monday morning the estimate was about 1,000 cars, a jump of about 600 cars from last Friday morning when last figures were compiled.

This was no doubt due to some good weather last week which sent com bines into the bean fields every where. Normally the Wabash heavy bean movement comes later than the Illi nois Central heavy movement, but this season this is not the trend. Wabash had 377 cars of beans on hand in its local yards Monday morning for interchange with the I. C. for delivery to plants not switched by the Wabash.

Illinois Central also had about this number on hands in its yards. Baltimore St Ohio brought in al most 100 carlots of beans from the west Sunday, one train and engine crew making two round trips into Decatur from Springfield during the rtaV Parh time witH a train beans. Finallv thi. rnnHitinn thJ road-s local yards would not hold them all and one bunch of 26 cars had to be taken to Antioch siding east of the city. IT IS NOT NECESSARILY the "greenhorn" that gets injured around the railroads.

In fact, the latest monthly safety report of the Illinois Central system covering the month of August indicates its the older head that becomes careless and then becomes a patient. Statistics are usually pretty dry reading, but in this case most anyone will be interested to know that of the 21 reportable injuries on the Illinois Central system in the month of August, seven of them occurred to employes with from 27 to 29 years of service, three of those- injured had 10 to 13 years service, seven of them had six to nine years service, only four had less than five years service, according to the report, "none of the Injured was 'a green hand'." THE MONTHLY report shows the local or Springfield division of the system leading all of the 13 major operating divisions and terminals of the system. Only departments standing ahead of the division were offices and small shops. The local division has had only two reportable injuries in the first eight months this year, a ratio of .74 per million man hours worked, Last year the division's score stood at six injuries or 2.01 per million man hours worked. For the system in the first eight' months reportables total 110 or ratio-of 2.09 compared to 155 in juries, a ratio of 2.60 last year.

THE WABASH bridge department forces have started work renewing bridge 1090 north of Manhattan on the north end of the Decatur division. Renewing practically means replacing the old struc-i ture with a new one. This is a 12-span I-beam trestle on treated piling and caps and is 180 feet long. It is going to be necessary to drive about 80 piling for' this job. Conductor Kammerman of the Wabash north end service has returned to work after being off duty quite a few weeks.

On account of a shortage of firemen for the Wabash west end Sunday it was necessary for crew dispatchers to take fireman Stone from the 9th and 13th districts extra board in emergency and send him west on second No. 91.

THOMAS Of The Associated Press Hollywood, Oct. 9 Reports that Audie Murphy is quitting the movies are exaggerated. So says Murphy, the much-deco- rated soldier and. blossoming star of the movies. The reports arose after he enlisted in a national guard outfit in his native Tex3s.

That meant active duty in the army with the possibility of a long hitch. "I'll report to Austin. Texas, as soon as I finish the picture," said Murphy. "But I'll only be in a few months to help train combat troops. Then I'll come back to Hollywood.

He denied printed, stories that he was mad at Hollywood and would give up pictures. Murphy is more mature and as sured than he was when he first arrived here after the war. He seems to take the Hollywood hoopla more in stride. But he is still' Democrat Rift Is Patched Up In Maryland By WALTON M. ROCK Of the Associated Press Baltimore, Oct.

Just then there was a splash. Six-year-pld Wayne Sooy fell head first into iVi feet of water while watching the goldfish.

Austrian Pianist Held Under New Security Law New York, Oct. 8 (AP) The New York Times says Fried- rich Gulda, 20-year-old Austrian pianist scheduled to play at Carne gie hall Wednesday, is being de tained on Ellis island under the new internal security law. The Times says the apparent basis for the detention is the fact that Gulda, at the age of 10, was a member of the Hitler youth organi zation Vienna. Young Gulda, according to the Times, has sent a petition to the attorney general stating that he was forced to join the Hitler youth and that he held no political ideas inimical to American institutions.

Meanwhile, says the Times, a grand piano has been sent to Ellis island so the pianist can practise for his concert in case he is freed in time to play.

Tieman it won't approach the total of World War II From the battlegrounds of Europe and the Pacific, the armed forces recovered the remains of men who could not be identified at the time.

But the painstaking investigation by the armed forces' registration teams by last Aug. 31 had reduced the number to the who are still carried on the records as unidentified. THE KOREAN casualty lists are swelling, not because of the victorious counteroffensive launched by U.N. troops three weeks ago hut more from the fact that a backlog of names is just reaching the publication stage. A list made public last night was the heaviest to date.

It contained 1,211 names, of whom 255 were dead, 822 wounded, 73 missing in action. An Associated Press tally of Korean war casualties by states shows that Pennsylvania has had the greatest total number, 1,509. California was second with 1.444, Texas third with 1,273 and New York fourth with 1,249. The casualty count followed closely states' population rankings. Nevada, with the smallest population, listed 14.

Ever since the early days of the movies, the war between the states has been the most popular conflict for dramatic purposes. Now John Huston is staging battles in the San Fernando valley for "Red Badge of Courage." I watched -the boys in blue charge across a plain in a replica of the Battle of the Wilderness. I asked Huston how he chose Audie Murphy and Bill Mauldin for the leading roles. "Whenever I cast a picture. think of my friends not actors who most resemble the roles.

Then I find actors who resemble those friends. In this case. I couldn't think of anyone who fitted the two soldiers better than Murphy and Mauldin." Man.

Mahoney, a Baltimore businessman, challenged Gov. William Preston Lane, who sought renomination. Two weeks after the Sept. 18 bal loting, the issue was still in doubt. Mahoney led Lane by more than 17.000 votes in the primary voting, but Lane won the nomination under the unit vote system, similar to the federal electoral college, in force in Maryland primaries.
