¢ 29 Towns Are Destroyed In Ecuador
QUITO, Ecuador, Aug. B.—The unofficial death toll in
earthquake-ravaged Ecuador soared above 4,600 today as
dumage estimates from some 29 mountain towns reached
§20,000,000. Countless. thousands were reported hurt.
The Ecuadorian cabinet voted in emergency session
last night to take immediate action on President Galo
Plaza Lasso’s plans to rebuild the stricken areas — most
populous in Ecuador.
The Defense Ministry said 2,000‘
troops were on duty.in the worst
hit zones and order was being:
rnaintained. '
Communications were being re
siored slowly as the Ecuadorian
Air Force ferried doctors, nurses
and medical aid to thousands of in
jured.
Three U. 8. Caribbean Air Com~
mand planes from Balboa took six
tons of relief supplies to Quito
yesterday. They included blood
plasma, serums and drugs.
The President, back from a tour
of the ravaged areas, said some of
the scenes of suffering rivalled
even the “most Dantesque” imagi
nat®n.
Four towng which virtually dis
zppeared from the map were Gua
no, Patate, Pelileo and Pillaro. .
Eyewitnesses returning from
Ambato, largest city to receive the
full force of the shocks, said the
number of dead and injured un
doubtedly had been underestimat
ed,
These witnesses said the ravaged
zrea now is only a cemetery where
the odor of death is almost un
bearable. *
They said the number of persons
buried along the slopes of Tun
gurahua voleano may never be
known. They reported that when
the quakes struck masses of earth
slid away from the mountainsides
and the volcano erupted.
Quakes again shook the slopes
of the Andes yesterday. Shocks
were felt in Ambato and Riobam
ba where rescue workers were dig
ging through the debris in search
of bodies.
The catastrophe was responsible
for another tragedy late Saturday
“hnen a mercy plane crashed in
the quake area, killing all 34 per
sons aboard.
~Some 3,000,000 persons live in
the erea affected by the quake. It
€mbraces about 2,500 square miles.

Switzerland
LAUSANNE, Switzerland, Aug.
B—(AP)—Mrs. Sumner Welles,
wife of the former U. 8. Under
secretary of State, died here last
night. she had made the trip to
Switzerland with her husband in
an attempt to restore him to
health. b
The former undersecretary said
Mrs. Welles died “most unexpect
edly.” She was taken ill several
days ago and had been confined
to bed in her hotel room.
Welles said relatives of his wife
are flying to Europe. He said he
would return to the United States
as soon as possible.
Friends of the family said Mrs.
Welles was stricken with peritoni
tis and she had declined to under
go an operation.
The Welles arrived here July
19. The former undersecretary,
who suffered a collapse last win
{er, was extremely weak when he
sailed aboard the French liner De
Grasse from New York.
Mrs. Welles, the former Mathilde
Townsend, was Welles' second
wife. His first marriage, to Miss
Esther Slater, was dissolved by
divorce in 1923. Welles had two
sons, Benjamin and Arnold, from
his first marriage.
The former undersecretary and
his wife sailed to Europe a month
ago on a trip planned to restore
his health, which was damaged
by exposure when he fell un
conscious last Christmas night in
a _snowcovered field near his
Maryland estate.

They asked Pres- Romtdup

Quirino, in San Francisco on his
way to visit President Truman, had
no comment. He and Chiang laid
the foundation for a Pacific pact
Jast month in & similar conference
at Baguio, in the Philippines.
The picture was changed since
then, however. Quirino recast last
week his entire concept of the pro
jected Pacific union and eliminated
all refererice to Chiang and his
erumbling Nationalist regime in
China. The United States issued
a white paper which labelled the
Chiang government a failure in the
Civil War against the Chinese
Communists.
Now Washington seeks the de

Rep. Martin of Massachusetts,

First Session
Leaders of 100 non-Communist

advance the countries a long step
down: the road toward full Euro

Represented are Britain, France,

America’s top military planners

Gen. Omar Bradley, army chief

of Naval operations, and Gen.
Hoyt Vandenberg, Air Force chief,
inspected the U. 8. Army of occu
pation in Germany and Austria
and conferred with military chiefs
of Western Europe during the
tour.
At each stopover on their trip,
the American chiefs emphasized
that no decisions were being made.
But Denfeld, speaking for the
group in Paris, said the talks had
resulted in “great unanimity of
opinion on almost all questions.”
The American chiefs will return

ATLANTA, Aug. B.— (AP)—Eilis Arnall said today he

Two and & half years ago both Arnall and young Tal

even before then, Arnall’s feud with the Talmadge clan
always had been spectacular.
A comeback attempt now would plunge Georgia into &

Many friends said he’s as good
as “in” next year's race. He’s
making a lot of statements that
sound like a politician with an eye
on a campaign.
New backdrops for the old
rivalry would include charges by
both factions that the other is in
volved in an ugly liquor scandal;
and a state financial crisis raising
the delicate question of taxes.
An old issue would be the Ku

Kilan war neneweua
In South Georgia
IRON CITY, Ga., Aug. B.—(AP)—A one-armed Geeld
gis mavor and some of his friends renewed a shooting
war against robed, night-riding Ku Klux Klansmen yes
terday.
To top it off, the mayor chased a Klan official inte Als:
bama at a 100-mile-an-hour pace and had him jailed.
The shooting spree started, said
Mayor C. L. Drake of Iron City,
when 12 or 15 carloads of robed
xlansmen rolled into this little
Southwest Georgia hamlet in the
dark, early Sunday morning hours.
One unidentified Klansman re
ceived a flesh wound. Drake re
ported none of his fighters was
hurt.
The mayor, a Klan foe of Jong
standing, declared ‘‘some of the
bullets whizzed by within five feet
of me” while he hastily scribbled
down the robed figures' auto tag
numbers,
Drake said he didn’t have a gun
but that some of his friends did
and they peppered the Klan con
voy with shotgun and pistol fire.
The night rviders retaliated, he re
lated.
Chase Details
Several hours elapsed between
the shooting and the daredevil
automobile chase to Dothan, Ala.,
38-miles away. The mayor gave
these details.
He had returned home when
Sheriff C. L. Chandler telephoned
that someone had sworn out an
assault warrant against him. Drake
started to Chandler's office and
spotted the car which had led the
Klan parade.
The mayor stomped the accele
rator and the whirlwind chase was
on. The Klan official, booked as
Bill Hendrix of Tallahassee, Fla.,
said his speed hit 100 M. P, H.
during the race. Hendrix, who
said he is an organizer for a new
hooded order, the Southern Ku
Klux Klan, sped to police head
quarters at Dothan and asked pro
tection.
The mayor burst in after him
and had him jailed on a warrant
charging assault with intent to
murder warrant which had been
issued in Iron City. Hendrix’s
bond was set at SSOO. He posted
bond and was releaseq.
Drake added that while in Do
than he looked in Hendrix’s ear
and found. Klan cloaks, - receipt
books, guns, one tommy gun clip
and carbon copies of Klan letters.
He identified Hendrix as “acting
