Col. Thomas R. Parsons, pro fessor of military science, named DMS cadets and presented cer tificates and ribbons in classes this week. DMS indicates the cadet has outstanding academic and mili tary proficiency along with other attributes, which is desired in Army officers. The designation enables the cadet to apply for a Regular Army commission to be conferred upon graduation. Colonel Parsons, calling the recognition a “significant achieve ment in these men’s lives,” noted that of 66 DMS cadets who ap plied for Regular Army commis sions last year, 65 were accepted. “With cutbacks in the services, In gun firings getting an RA commission after going on active duty will become increasingly difficult,” Parsons said. Nine of the 60 recognized ca dets were given provisional DMS due to their not having attended summer camp, Colonel Parsons said. Recipients are Joseph A. Aston of Farmersville; John D.

Paraffin test being abandoned HOUSTON (A*)—The paraffin test—one of the oldest scientific crime detection aids to determine if a suspect has fired a gun re cently—has been abandoned by the Houston Police Department. Houston police now are using a technique involving chemicals and ultraviolet rays. Police chem ists consider the new test more reliable than the long-used paraf fin method. Linking suspects to weapons is a vital need to homicide detec tives who often have no eyewit nesses to testify that a suspect fired a weapon. Under the new system, the suspect’s hands are sprayed with a chemical which makes micro- Specials BRYAN 1816 Texas Ave. Good at Any Monterey House With This Coupon.

MEXICAN RESTAURANTS scopic metal particles on the skin visible under an ultraviolet light. Floyd McDonald, chief chemist for the police crime laboratory here, said the technique has re vealed that the imprint of a metal object remains visible for up to 24 hours after a person handles the object. He said the imprint of a gun, knife, metal rod or similar object can be identified easily. Under the old paraffin test, melted paraffin was applied to a person’s hands. The paraffin was removed after it hardened and then tested for nitrate particles, a by-product of burning gunpow der. Although the test has been used here for at least four dec ades, McDonald said he has run recent checks on it and found it to be unreliable. He said a positive reading can be caused by smoking or by traces of certain cosmetics, urine or other substances. He said the new technique takes less time, is more reliable and has the additional advantage of show ing distict impressions of indi vidual metal objects.
