Official Soviet
Paper In Berlin
Issues Announcement
By The Associated Press
An official Soviet newspaper in
Berlin takes the view that “any
attempt to annul Poland’s annex
ation of German territory would
provoke a new war.”
Those are the words of Taeg
liche Rundschau, the official organ
of the Soviet control commission
for the Russian occupation zone
in Germany. The newspaper says
the Oder-Neisse border is the
“final and enduring frontier of
peace,” and that the United States
refuses to recognize it because it
wants to make the “unclarified
frontier the occasion for a Third
World War, as Hitler used the
Polish corridor.” :
The Soviet-sponsored East Ger
man republic announced last week
that it had reach
ed agreement
with Poland
making the river
line Poland’s

“permanent boundary.” The West
ern Allies assailed the action as
having no legal basis, saying final
getermination of the border must
e decided in the German peace
treaty, The West German govern
ment also denounced the East gov
ernment’s action, which was obvi
ously und€rtaken at the prompt

Four Swept To Death By
Raging Allegheny River
Four Others Saved; Riverman '
Dies In Heroic Rescue Effort
By The Associated Press
The raging waters of an Allegheny River spillway near
Pittsburgh took four lives yesterday but rivermen who re
fused to quit rescue efforts in the face of terrifying odds
pulled four others to safety.
~ One riverman, 50-year old Hull
Wright, died a hero.
He tried desperately to save six
persons who rode over a 11-foot
dam in their 25-foot cabin cruiser
13 miles northeast of Pittsburgh.
The four who survived a night
of horor were baitered and beaten,
inside and out.
. They clung te the cruiser as it
bobbed furiously in the foaming,
swirling spillway. For seven hours
they watched scores of rescue at
tempts fail,
Other weekend boat and air
plane disasters at a glance:
Near Nashville, Tenn, three
men narrowly escaped death in
an almost similar accident when
a 16-foot inboard cruiser was car
ried over a low dam on the Cum
berland River. All three swam to
shore.
Four died off San Pedro, Calif.,
and 16 were rescued Saturday
when a fishing boat sank in the
Catalina Channel. s
Off Chicago Saturday, one wo
man was swept to death in Lake
Michigan when winds and waves
struck a sailboat.
A girl and two men drowned in
another Lake Michigan accident
Saturday when a dinghy turned
over near Chicago.
Two men delivering newspapers
by air were killed near Shawnee,
0k1a.,, when their light plane
crashed into an oil derrick.
Two more were killed when an
other small plane crashed and
burned near Conway, Tex.
A shipping collision at Quebec
gave minor injuries to 25 of 400
passengers aboard the cruise ship

the cost for purchasing the neces

Thompson Talks
Also speaking to the Farm Bu

Chief W. C. Thompson. He listed
fire prevention as first on the list.
Next, he said rural residents
should fix electric pumps on their
wells so if the electricity in a
burning house is cut off, there
will still be electricity to run the
pump. This is necessary so that
firemen can replenish their supply
of water in the pump engines for
fighting fires in rural areas.
Also, he said garden hose for fire
fighting should be kept in one
handy place and not used in other
ways.
Chief Thompson discussed the
use of fog nozzles and wetting

Senate Refuses To Shelve Rent
Control Bill By 40 to 25 Vote
WASHINGTON, June 12.—(AP)—The Senate refused foday to
shelve the rent control bill. The vote was 40 so 25.
The vote was regarded as a general test of Senate sentiment to
ward the question of continuing federal rent controls, now due to
expire June 30.
But some of those who voted against putting the bill aside had
announced they would vote against the bill on the question of final
passage.
The attempt to shelve the bill was made by Senator Wherry of
Nebraska, the Repablican floor leader. Early last Saturday morn
ing, at the end of a turbulent 17-hour Senate lehslol;, he moved to
send the bill back to the Banking Committee. Such action often
means killing a measure,
By agreement, a vote on Wherry’s motion was put off until to
day. For administration leaders, the big question now is when they
can get a vote on final passage. &
BN Mol
Has Desire To Live
128-Year-old
Discovered In
BROWNSVILLE, Tex., June 12
— (AP) — “Pancho” Comacho,
who says he is 128 years old, has
a simple desire — he would like
to live a few more years.
Pancho’s age — and his desire
—came to light when a census
taker visited him at his hut on
the big Champion Ranch near the
mouth of the Rio Grande River.
“Senior, my name is Francisco
Comacho, and I am 128 years old,”
he said in Spanish.
Pancho told of crossing the Rio
Grande into the United States
with an older brother. They were
orphans and Pancho was only sev
en years old.
The brother got a job is a ranch
hand with a man named Valentin
Gavito. Pancho was too small for
ranch work, but the Gavitos let
him help with chores about the
house. He was paid a silver dollar
and a bar of soap every month.
He grew up on the Gavito ranch,
became a regular hand and marri
ed a girl who lived on the ranch.
His wife and their first born died
at the birth of the child.
Never Remarried
Pancho never remarried. He
went to live with a sister, Bonifa
cia. Commacho Vermudes. The sis
ter died about ten years ago —at
the age of 125.
Not Pancho lives in his hut near
the home of Ramon Rodriquez, a
distant relative.

MAN DIES FROM BURNS
ROME, Ga., June 12.—(AP)—
George Edwin Langston, 65, of

Census
taker’s visit, it was humorous that
he has lived for more than a
cenutry and a quarter, yet this
was the first time his name would
be in print. ;
Pancho rode his own Palomino
pony until a few years ago when
he broke his hip in a fall. Since
then he has not been able to ride.
He still has a good appetite and
likes to display his full set ~f nat
ural teeth that have served him so
long. &
_But most of all he likes to sit
in the shade of his little hut and
talk of the things he has seen and
experienced. Like the Civil War
battle fought near his home after
the Confederacy had surrendered
He got to view the skirmish be
tween the “Americanos” because
poor communications didn’t bring
word of the surrender in time to
stop it.

MAMA’S A COLLECE GRADUATE NOW
Read Daily by 35,000 People In Athens Trade Ares
WASHINGTON, June 12.—(AP)—President Truman's
assertion that Russia is preparing for war stepped up Cone
gressional efforts today to get this nation’s defenses ready
for any ecrisis. 2 -
At the same time, however, two
Republican senators suggested that
Mr, Truman’s blunt talk about So
viet intentions abroad may be
aimed in part at minimizing pub
lic attention to the Communists
in-government charges of Senator
MecCarthy (R-Wis) and others.
GOP Senators Wherry of Ne
braska and Brewstar of Maine
said they don’t disagree with the
President’s Saturday statement in
St. Louis that the Soviets “have
preached peace — but devoted
their emergencies to fomenting ag
gression and preparing for war.”
Home Not Mentioned
But Wherry, the Senate Repub=-
lican leader, noted that the Presi
dent had nothing to say about
subversive activity at home.
“It is just as important to clean
out the Communists in our govern=
ment as it is to stop their ex(s)an
sion abroad,” Wherry declared.
Brewster said it seems to him
Mr. Truman has been dwelling on
Communist threats in the foreign
field almost to the exclusion of any
similar dangers at home.
“It may be a campaign to take
the people’s mind off of the Mc-
Carthy charges and similar afe
fairs,” Brewster said. He is chair
man of the GOP Senatorial Cam=
paign committee.
Senator Hill (D-Ala) said he
doesn’t see it that way at all.
“The President is properly con
cerned with whole threat of Com
munism, at home and abroad,” Hill
said.
“Personally, I don’t think they
can be separated. Any subversive
activity in this country is obvious
ly only part of an over-all plan of
the Russians to overturn democ
racy in ever part of the world.
“T don't think anybody argues
with the President’s statement
that :hc Soviets are preparing for
war.
To meet this, Hill said it 1s ob
vious that Congress is going to
step up armed service apfroprin
‘tions and give its approval to sl,-
222,500,000 military assistance pro=
,gram to help build up the defense
forces of the Western European
nations,
The Senate Foreign Relations
and Armed Service committees go
to work this week on redrafting
an administration bill with indi
cations they will clamp some lim
itations on the proposed presiden
tial power to supply srms to any
nation whose defense Mr, Truman
deems vital to that of the U. 8.
Hili predicted the Senate will
approve shortly a three-year ex
tension of the military draft, with
the provision that the President
can start inductions any time an
emergency arises.
The House voted a two-year ex
tension, giving Congress the right
to say when inductions could be
ordered. :
Chairman Tydings (D-Md) of
the Armed Services committee
predicted in a radio address yes
terday that Congress soon will ap
prove a bill, passed in a different
form by both Houses, authorizing
a 70-group air force. The air force
now is based on 48 groups. 1
