POOLER Free Press Staff Writer Next Tuesday they are going to put up a monument to a cubic inch of wheat in Tecumseh. And to an idea that has spread all over a continent. At the center of the celebration will be Perry Hayden, the Tecumseh miller, who has spread the idea of the Biblical tithe over America.

THE EXPERIMENT went on for six years, a tenth of the harvest annually going to the church. The first year the pastor of the Friends Church ate the tithe for breakfast.

Michigan State College carefully estimated that at the end of the six years if all the wheat were replanted a final harvest of 5,297 bushels of wheat could be expected. What happened was fabulous. At the end of six years with only nine-tenths of the annual harvest replanted each time the final crop was 72,150 bushels of wheat. It was 14 times what should have been! TOTT CAN call it luck.

TAKEN TO a hospital, he was treated and reported in good condition. The weary group of filibustering senators claimed they never hoped to block the vote or to change many votes. They said they wanted time for the nation to study Mr. Truman's veto message and express itself to the Senate.

They said they got many telegrams supporting their stand. Even though they lost the fight, the issue is not ended. In the House, Rep. Cannon Mo.) said that when Congress returns after the November elections he will introduce a bill to eliminate all portions of the measure to which Mr. Truman objected.

In the south other American forces made lightning thrusts and gains of as much as 27 miles. Army Seventh Division units skirting Seoul advanced 10 miles from Suwon to Osan. They narrowed the gap between Gen. Douglas MacArthur's nut cracker offensive to 75 miles.

Some 100,000 fleeing North Koreans were trapped in the middle. MARINES ATTACKING Seoul drove miles into the city. This was the deepest Allied penetration of the capital so far. The assault on Seoul was carried out by Marines advancing from Kimpo Airfield along the east bank of the Han River and by other Leather necks smashing eastward from Yondungpo on the western side of the river. Correspondent Robert Vermillion reported that Marines scattered the defenders of the capital's northwestern limits with tanks and infantry in a 40-minute attack.

AH operations were supported by fighter-bombers, artillery and a naval bombardment of the fleet off shore, including the mighty battleship Missouri. THE MARINES were geared for a house-to-house fight through the narrow, winding streets of Seoul. v-'The Communists had dug in on gravel streets and had barricaded memseives oemnd sandbags in some of the largest buildings. Other American troops were patrolling the hills on either side of the Suwon airfield and the highway south from Seoul. They were cleaning out the city Suwon.

The United States Air Force began air-lifting ammunition and critical supplies to the Suwon airstrip, about 20 miles south of Seoul. UNITED NATIONS forces launched a drive on the key Communist communications city of Kumchon on the rim of the southeastern beachhead.

IN PRISONERS Surrender Leaflets Paying Off TOKYO (JP) Psychological warfare is beginning to pay off for the Allies. The millions of surrender leaflets showered by air on North Korean Communist lines are bringing in an increasing number of surrendering Reds. The Communists ignored them when the invasion was running smoothly.

Now that they are reeling backward, they are recalling the message, reiterated over and over by leaflet and radio. BOILED DOWN, it runs something like this: "Surrender; you will be well treated. You will get good food and good medical treatment. 'The whole world is against you; the sooner you surrender, the sooner the war will be over and you can go home to your families. You cannot win, because we are getting stronger every day and you are getting weaker.

Why die? Surrender still does not come easily to a Red soldier. His own people will shoot him for possessing one of those leaflets; he may be killed by A I- lied troops as he crosses the lines; and he fears he may be mistreated, as his bosses have told him. The steady drumbeat of the psychological warfare branch is having its effect, however. One Red who came in the other day had a worn and crumpled leaflet that had been dropped early in July. Recently one man who surrendered recited the exact text of the safe-conduct leaflet.

He said he had been afraid to keep it, lest his superiors shoot him, so he memorized it. 10 Swedes Die in Air Crash STOCKHOLM CU.R) A Swedish airliner crashed shortly after it took off from Karlstad in Central Sweden and all 10 persons aboard were reported killed. All aboard were Swedes. The plane, a twin-engine Arvo Anson, took off in clear weather for Stockholm. Two minutes later, when the aircraft was about 200 feet in the air.

it lurched upward, then shot down and the plane plunged into the edge of the airfield. Storms Delav Liner 43 Hours NEW YORK (Jp) The Cunard liner Mauretania arrived about 43 hours behind schedule because of 86-mile-an-hour winds that delayed her sailing from English Channel ports. Capt. C. Ivan Thompson said the Mauretania was hit by high winds in its 13-hour crossing from Le Havre to Cobh last Saturday.

Because of storm conditions, he said, the ship was nine hours late leaving Le Havre and was forced to anchor off Cobh for 34 hours. CLIFFORD READ. Macomb County coroner, called the death "the worst case of mutilation I have ever seen." A jagged, four-inch half-moon had been cut on Joey's neck, severing the jugular vein and an artery. Both wrists were cut. Indicating that the boy had thrown up his arms to defend himself.

There were other knife slashes over the entire body. His skull had been battered by a heavy object. Read was visibly shaken after the autopsy Saturday night. THE BOY'S upthrust right elbow had been spotted Saturday afternoon by Glenn Young, 34, of 22015 Alger, St. Clair Shores, who works with the dead boy's father at Kaiser-Frazer Corp.

Young yelled to other searchers, who had roamed the St. Clair Shores dump and surrounding regions for five hour in a "final" hunt. The men. most of them members of the UAW (CIO), had yielded to Housey's plea for "one last hunt." The body lay beneath a few inches of freshly dug soil, eroded by recent rains. THEY LIFTED aside a 60-pound slab of concrete which had been laid above the damp earth.

Scraping away the dirt, the searchers found the body. The child's white T-shirt and khaki trousers had been disarranged. The father and one of the dead boy's brothers, James, 17, were in the search party. James identified a Cub Scout ring his brother wore. The Child's grandfather, Dr.

J. M. Earnhardt, later confirmed the identification. FOR HOUSEY and his wife, Helen, the discovery came as a crushing shock. They had refused to believe that their son was dead.

They sat on a sofa in the living room of their home at 22240 Madi son, surrounded by friends and relatives. Both wept. "We always hoped," Housey said. "We never gave up. though we knew anything could have happened." "We're so grateful." he said.

The drug is thiourea, a substance commonly obtained by heating urea, one of the main constituents of animal urine. IN EXPERIMENTS carried on at the Government atomic energy laboratory in Harwell, the drug was injected into mice and they were exposed to lethal doses of X-rays.

Of nine mice so treated, eight survived. Mortality among mice either untreated or injected with a variety of other drugs ranged from 14 to 100 per cent. Results of the experiments were described in the magazine Nature by the research men, R. H. Mole, J.
