New Efforts To
Rescue Scientists
SOUTHAMPTON, Eng., Oct. 11
—(AP)—The 1,200-ton steamer
John Biscoe sails for the Antarctic
teday in a bid to rescue eleven
British scientists marconed for two
years on an icebound island.
The little ship failed repeatedly
in rescue attempts last year. This
time it has been fitted with a steel
bow to slash through ice, and with
two ski-equipped airplanes to try
an air rescue if the ship fails to
get through.
. The marooned men, most of
them geologists and meteorologists,
’&re on Stonington Island in Mar
guerite Bay, Britain’s most South
erly base in the Antarctic. Their
latest radioed reports said all were
‘well but life was hard in their fro
zen camps. :
Their work is sponsored by the
British government’s Falkland Is
land Dependencies’ survey. They
do research as well as surveying.

Thomas said he interviewed the

will be absolute ruter of Tibet
when he turns 18.
But the Dalai Lama, said Thom

still is a minor, Instead the re

the talking, telling Thomas they
thought their remote, mountainous
country could stop Communism if
it came their way.

16 Dead, Heavy Damage
In Wake Of Wind Storms
100-MPH Winds Wreck Crops
In Central U.S.; Rains Begin
‘By The Associated Press
A storm which brought destructive gales over the Cen
tral States, killing 16 persons and causing heavy property
and crop damage, moved into the Hudson Bay area today.
The violent winds, which reach
ed a velocity of more than 100
miles an hour in some areas of the
storm belt, diminished but rain
fell over wide sections of the
Midwest.
Temperatures moderated over
the Central States but the unsea
sonably warm weather continued
over the Southern States and the
Atlantic Coastal areas., The mer
cury hit into the high 80’s and low
90’s in some of the eastern cities
yesterday to break records for the
date. Temperatures continued a
little below normal in the West
ern States.
Rain fell today over parts of
Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, lower
Michigan, Southern Nebraska,
Western Kansas and in Minnesota
and North Dakota. Showers also
were reported over Washington
and Oregon. Elsewhere, generally
fair weather prevailed, the Weath
er Bureau said.
] The high winds which swept
across most of the Midwest broke
a spell of hot weather in some
states. The winds were strongest
in Minnesota, near the low pres
sure center. Minneapolis had 70
mile an hour sustained winds with
gusts as" high as 95 MPH. A 60-
foot chimney toppled from a ho
tel, seriously injuring four airline
hostess school students. Eleven
other persons were hospitalized
because of injuries in the storm.
Damage to crops was reported
heavy in Minnesota and lowa
where stands of eorn awaiting har
vest were flattened. A 45,000~
bushel grain bin was destroyed at
Maquoketa, la,
Two persons were killed in the
storm in Wisconsin. The Coast
Guard estimated that 65 mile an
hour winds caused $500,000 dam
age in the Chequamegon Bay area

Senator Brewster of Maine,

“Foreign policy matters are

Brewster said.
“The only foreign policy pro

ST. PAUL, Minn., Oct. 11,— (AP) —Possibility of a po

wiped out today—at least for the time being—by the for

Delegates to the American Federation of Labor conven

Mre. Lois McElreath, mother of
Mrs. B. H. Henderickson and
Frank McElreath, both of this
city, died at her home cn the At~
lanta Highway Monday night at
8:30 o’clock.
Mrs. McElreath was 81 years
old and had been {ll for the past
several weeks.
Services were held this after
noon at 4 o'clock at th 3 graveside
in Oconee Hill cemetery, Bridges

CGuy Bachelder, Harold Hemrick,

plan, with the backing of Demo
cratic leaders there—which would
provide government price sup
ports for certain important crops
on a flexible basis, according to the
availability of supply.
Mr. Truman has been reported
in favor of a different plan, one
which would support those crops
at a high, relatively constant level.
The House has passed such a bill,
but the Senate has turned it down.
Thomas, who favors the high
support program, said he might
offer the Brannan Plan as an al
ternative to the flexible proposal.
Under the Brannan Plan, perish
able crops would be allowed to
find their own price-level on the
mark, with the government paying
farmers if prices dropped below
a “fair” level.

On a practice run to Way

X X X
By unanimous vote the conven=
tion adopted a substitute propo
sal—backed by the organization’s
top officers —specifically calling
for separate AFL political action.
Last year the AFL voted to in
vite John L. Lewis and his United
Mine Workers to return to the
AFL fold. At present, however,
there seems no disposition on the
part of AFL leaders to woo Lewis,
and there is no indication that
either he or Philip Murray of the
CIO intends to initiate any peace
moves.
This won’t mean local AFL and
CIO groups will stop workinfnl to
gether. For instance, Philip an
nah, a leader of the AFL’s Ohio
State Federation, told reporters
all major labor organizations in
his state are cooperating in an
effort to defeat Sen. Taft (R-
Ohio) next fall.
The AFL expects to make a
new effort to get back the now
indedpendent machinists wunion,
‘which claims more than 600,000
‘members. AFL leaders said Al
Hayes, new machinist president,
has asked tor talks toward ending
the family uargument over which
the machinists quit the AFL ranks
several years ago.
The AFL executive council ar
ranged a meeting today to finish
up pending Dbusiness. Arrange
ments were to be completed for
sending a big delegation to Lon
don next month to help form a
new world union group to oppose
the Communist-dominated world
Federation of Trade Unions.
The CIO, now withdrawn from
the WFTU, is also supporting the
new organization of lalbor move=
ments of Democratic countries.
The executive council also was
due to review plans for the AFL’s
intended big political campaign in
the 1950 elections and announced
a drive to sign up a million new
unionists next year.
The convention endorsed most
of the Truman administration’s
legislative program hbut suggested
a $1 hourly minimum wage in=-
stead of the 75 cent minimum
now being pushed in Congress to
replace the present 40-cent floor.

West Diplomats In U. N. Reported -
Skeptical Of New Russian Moves
By The Associated Press
The Soviet Union promised to outline a new pian sos
atomic warfare control before the United Nations today.
Western diplomats, familiar with Russian tactics, were
skeptical of the move.
Deputy Foreign Minister Jakobmalik brought the Ruse
sian plan from Moscow last week. He will deliver a state
ment before the U. N. Security Council.
At his news conference last
week, President Truman expressed
doubt that the Russians would of
fer anything new at this time.
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Y,

Radio Actress Gina Carr’s rescue from the ocean turf
at Malibu Beach, Calift, is strictly in the nude. Her
companion, Richard Tide, carries her from the water
after she fell overboard from a small boat in which they
were surf riding. Tide said he accidentally tore Miss
Carr’s one-piece bathing suit from her body in trying to
catch her as she went over. A free lance photographex
happened to come by just in time and made this pictuze.
