A motor failure and fog which prevented an emergency land ing were blamed for the crash in mountainous country near Ravello. A Swedish Air Force press re lations officer said in Stocknolm that the crash of the chartered Bristol cargo plane was “T h e worst catastrophe that ever be fell the Swedish Air Force.” The 21 passenger-airmen were all described as “young and capable fliers” who had flown 17 single - engined Swedish-built bombers of a Swedish type call ed B-17 to Addis Ababa, the Ethiopian capital. The plane has no connection with the Ameri can four-engined bomber also designated as B-17. The 21 included four captains nine lieutenants. Survivors of the crash, of whora five were seriously hurt, said failure of a motor over water while the plane was off the Sorrentine Peninsula en r°ute to Rome’s Ciampino a i r P°rt led the pilot to try to land Jn flat country around the fish es village of Cetara. In the fog and rain, however, the pilot overshot the mark, and the big plane crashed into Mount Bel Garro just behind Ravello.

Crowds were massed outside saluting Princess Elizabeth and her husband-to-be. The cat stepped through a top-floor window of the palace and sat on a sill. The throng roared. To Britons a black cat is a symbol of good luck. EMPLOY ' NOW ATP NU.S. j - Feoort Shows No Indus tries Laying Off Men; 60 Millions At Work WASHINGTON, Nov. 19. — ffl — Unemployment is at the low est level since the war and no industries are showing signs of laying off employees, the Bureau iof Labor Statistics said today. Commissioner Ewan Clague told a news conference that em ployment in non-agricultural lines hit an all-time peak of 43, 250,000 in October, a gain of more than 200,000 over the past month. The total work force, including self-employed and agricultural workers, was 60,900,000 in Octo ber, Clague said. He explained this meant there were 59,200, 000 civilian jobs, because unem ployment compensation claims revealed 1,700,000 persons unem ployed. In this unemployed figure. Cla gue said, there is a growing per centage of over-age workers who might not return to the work force. The chief labor statistician said that if trends of previous years are followed, the non-agri cultural employment figure will increase to a peak in December, with the heavy Christmas busi ness. Employment in all industries was at peak levels, Clague said. Unless workers are employed longer hours or increase the in dex of productivity in some other way, the existing force is turning out about the maximum possible production right now, Clague said. On top of the other favorable factors in the employment pic ture, Clague reported that in Oc tober construction was started on 92,000 dwellings, making it one of the best home building months on record. NAVY MEN SPLIT SALVAGE AWARDS ___ Two North Carolinians Among Those Who Will Receive $3,000 WASHINGTON, Nov. 19. —W — Navy men who salvaged a sinking German freighter off Bra zil 6 years ago, one month before the Jap attack on Pearl Harbor, today began receiving checks for their exploits. Ea<?h of the 66 officers and men from the Cruiser Omaha, who boarded the freighter Oden wald and took her in to San Juan, have been awarded $3, 000 by the U. S. District Court in Puerto Rico. In all, 51 officers and 829 men of the Omaha and the Destroyer See NAVY On Page Two ■ General Myers Reported To Have Profited Well, “Fixed” Stories WASHINGTON, Nov. 19—OP!— A Senate inquiry was told today that Maj. Gen. Bennett E. Mey ers profited $150,199.64 or more from a war plant and then “con cocted” a false story for investi gators. The money was drawn through the war years, largely from heavy kickbacks on sala ries paid officials installed by Meyers, it was testified. One of these officials, Bleriot Lamarre, president of the Avia tion Electric Company of Day ton, Ohio, declared that Meyers came to him last July and told him they must get together on their testimony “regardless of how ridiculous it was.” This, he said, was to “avoid risks to us both.” Lamarre testified that he told “the concocted story” to the Senate War Investigating com mittee in closed session last month, but that he later consult ed an attorney who told Lamarre to “come back and tell the truth.” “Dummy” Officers Meyers, awaiting his turn to testify, was pictured as hiring his own father-in-law, an ex-bus driver, at $12,000 a year as “pro duction manager” of the com pany—and installing a “Dum my” vice president at $15,000 to $18,000 a year, who like La marre, turned over the greatest part of his salary to Meyers. The vice president, Thomas E. Readnower, brother-in-law of Lamarre, told the committee that Meyers also tried to get him to give false testimony but that he never agreed to do so. The company held wartime subcontracts of $1,053,000 and See COMMITTEE on Page Two CANADA TO HUNT CITRUS SUPPLIES United States To Lose Half Of Fruit Market Under New Quotas NO OTTAWA, Nov. 19 —(A>)— Ca nadians may have to scrounge for their lemons, oranges and grapefruit in the future unless new sources of supply are found. A trade official said today that under the new trade quotas im portation of citrus fruits will be cut by approximately 50 per cent from countries on the trade schedule which involves the United States, Cuba, Dominica, Guatemala, Panama and Haiti. The bulk of Canada’s oranges come from Southern California. Importers will haye to go afield and it was speculated this would result in a 30-per-cent in crease in costs that would be passed to the consumer. An Ottawa fruit importer said costs will jump because of longer transportation lines and damages. The official did not know what importers would do to close the gap but suggested Palestine. Italy, Japan, South Africa, Ja maica, the West Indies and the Argentine as likely sources. Earlier F i nnce Minister Douglas Abbott said the extent of any fruit shortage in Canada will depend on how much re duced imports of citrus fruits from the United States can be made up by imports from non dollar countries such as the West Indies and South Africa._ Beauteous. Boas Boost Taxpayer’s Zoo Stock By ARTHUR EDSON Associated Press Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Nov. 19—f/P)— There has been precious little cheering news for taxpayers lately. So it’s nice to report that in one small respect at least, government business is boom ing. I refer, of course, to the Rain bow Boa snake situation, which is good. While you were busy figuring your income tax, you probably never thought, “well, anyway, my Rainbow Boas are doing iokay.” Yet you could have. You cer tainly could have. For the annual report of the Smithsonian Institution has just come in. And in it is the latest news on a part of the institution, the National Zoological Park. The park is here in Washing ton, and it’s owned by the na tion’s taxpayers. And look at the splendid report on boas! We started off the year with three boas, a modest enough supply.

Y., Nov. 19. —(U.R)—Arab states demanded today that the United Nations set up Palestine as an independ ent, Arab-controlled state, an d warned that any attempt to par tition the Holy Land would touch off hostilities that would con tinue for some time. The warning—the bluntest yet sounded—was contained in a 66 page Palestine program written by six Arab states and the Mos lem countries of Pakistan and Afghanistan. The plan was submitted to the UN Palestine committee which will weigh it against the rival Soviet-American program for partition of Palestine into Arab and Jewish States. Then, in one of the most fateful decisions it has ever taken, the Assembly must decide Palestine’s future status. A nine - nation subcommittee late today finally approved the Soviet-American program for partition, and the full 57-nation Palestine committee went into a night session to speed a verdict.

Judge Warlick said that at a recent conference North Caro lina Superior Court judges agre ed to enforce three new rules not included in state divorce laws. First rule is that judges will not hear divorce actions in which one party does not main tain residence in the county where notice of intention is serv ed by publication. The second is that in cases where husbands seek divorce from wives having minor chil dren and serves notice by publi cation, the wife must be given actual notice of trial if possible See JUDGE on Page Two PLANE PROPELLERS CUT DOWN FLEEING AIRFIELD WORKERS OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. 19— —Two men were killed today when cut down by the spinning propellers of a P-16 Black Wi dow night fighter as they at tempted to escape a fire in the aircraft. The Tinker Air Field public information officer said the men, civilian employes, jumped from the plane when an engine caught fire and started running.

FIVE THOUSAND DOLLAR BABY—A sure sign that the New Hanover Health and Tuber culosis association’s Christmas Seal Sale is getting under way is the blistered and burned fin gers exhibited yesterday by Miss Lucy Nash, executive sec retary of the association. Miss Nash spent most of the day fold ing letters and stuffing envel opes in preparation for the post ing of campaign literature. Members of the local Jaycees are already embarked on their pre-seal sale bond drive to raise funds for the T. B. campaign. Their tentative goal is $5,000. This portion of the total funds to b eraised has been designated by the Jaycees as “our baby.” stances in the book of Judge W. W. S.

Judge Burgwyn usually sus pects a companion of the oppo site sex is the approximate cause of the larceny—particu larly where money is involved. In such cases the defendant is invariably the recipient of the judge’s sharp query, “By the way, are you carrying a comb in your pocket?” Invariably the answer is Yes, sir,” which draws the invari able comment, “I thought so.” Invariably, too, when the cul prit is so fortunate as to draw a suspended sentence, disposal of the comb is a condition of the parole. That defense attorneys do not tip off their young clients to dis pose of their pocket combs be fore they face Judge Burgwyn, is a tribute to the honesty and generally high level of ethics See CAFE FEAR on Fage Two Republicans Split Sharply Over Truman Rationing Plan NIFTY NYLONS KNOCKED OUT BY NIPPY MORNING WEATHER WEST BRANCH, Mich., Nov. 19—WP>—The icy hand of winter gripped the exposed legs of West Branch High school girls today and propelled them into a demonstration in favor of slacks. About 20 ’teen-agers stayed away from classrooms they charged were overly prim and paraded in front of this North eastern Michigan city’s only high school. They bore signs proclaiming “We Want Slacks.” The ban on slacks in classrooms was issued by 38-year-old Ralph Miller, shortly after he became superintendent of schools last September. “Teachers don’t like girls slouching around class rooms in slacks,” he maintained. But the 20 dissenters among the student body of 400 com plained that dresses and skirts left girlish legs exposed to the goose-pimpling winds of a northern winter. Three Marines Arrested In Taxicab Robbery Case By BERNICE JENKINS Star Staff Writer Two scraped fenders in a sup posed hit-and-run auto accident and the fast work of alert State Highway Patrolman R. C. Dun can resulted in the arrest here last night of three youthful Camp "ejeune marines and a recently dishonorably discharged marine on charges of highwav robberv and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill. The men were arrested in con nection with the robbery and assault of J. H. Irving, Jr., lo cal taxicab operator in Bruns wick county early last Friday morning. Duncan said last night that confessions had been receiv ed. Those arrested were: Cpl. Carl Steinert, 19, native of British Columbia, Canada, and in the Second division; Cecil R.

Irving, who had been viewing a number of suspects since the armed robbery on Friday morning, pointed to Hosmer as the one who held the gun as he was forced from his cab. Irving’s story after the assault was that he was hired to drive the men to a roadhouse on Na vassa road between Highways 74 and 76 in Brunswick county after picking them up at the Cape Fear hotel here. He said that they as saulted him with a gun and later attempted to shoot him after driving him to a point on the Maco road.

He fled. __ RAMADIER QUITS AS STRIKES GROW Leon Blum Prominently Mentioned As Next Pre mier Of France PARIS, Thursday, Nov. 20. — W) — Premier Paul Ramadier resigned last night after 10 months of almost continual po litical, economic and communist inspired labor crises, and left the way open for Leon Blum or some other middle-of-the-road leader to attempt to form a new coalition government. As Ramadier resigned, it was estimated that a half-million workers were on strike through out France. Special security - guards were posted in P a r is where Communist - led walkouts threatened to develop into a gen eral strike. Guards were on duty in other key cities to prevent possible violence. Ramadier’s ministers remain ed in office temporarily to carry on the fight againts the deteri orating labor situation. These included Georges Bidault at the foreign office, Robert Schuman at the finance ministry and Edouard Depreux at the interior ministry. Depreux has jurisdic tion over the national police. Ministers To Continue It was expected the ministers would continue in their jobs during President V i n ce n t Auriol’s negotiations to find a successor to Ramadier.

Most of the Old Belt gains were from $1 to $5 per hundred pounds except for fair lemon lugs which were up $6. Most of the declines were from $1 to $2 except for common orange smoking leaf, down $4, and low orange varigated leaf, down $4. 50.

Chairman Robert A. Taft, R., O., of the joint Congressional Economic committee announced that his group would consider only the “less controversial” features of Mr. Truman’s pro gram during the emergency ses sion of Congress which began Monday. I think that, if we’re going to get anything out of the com mittee at this session, we will have to let points nine and ten (consumer rationing and selec tive price ceilings) go over to the regular session in January,” Taft said after a meeting to map out a program of hearings on the plan. A short time later, Chairman Jesse P. Wolcott, R., Mich., of the House Banking Committee announced that his group would go to work next Tuesday on all 10 points which Mr. Truman laid down as the basis for waging war against the high cost of living. “We are not ruling anything out in our study,” he said. The conflicting decisions were revealed as Secretary of the Treasury John W. Snyder as sured a news conference that the President does not plan a new Office of Price Administra tion. “There is no intention of any thing like that,” he said. Republicans greeted Mr. Tru man’s proposals Monday with angry protests that they were designed to set up. a “more colossal OPA.” They predicted that Congress would never ap prove such a step. The CIO, in its monthly publi cation, “Economic Outlook”, re newed the union’s demands for restoration of price controls “to avoid the ruinous conditions of price inflation.” These proposals, however, were drawn up in ad vance of Mr. Truman’s message to Congress, and CIO spokesmen said they were not to be regard ed as reaction to his broad pro gram. Taft told newsmen that his committee would take up five of the President’s 10 points this year, and. that it would hear See REPUBLICANS On Page 2 NATIONAL PILOTS PUT OFF STRIKE Company President, Air men Agree On Postpone ment Pending Parleys WASHINGTON, Nov. 19—W5)— Chairman Frank P. Douglas of the National Mediation Board said today a threatened pilots’ strike on National Airlines, scheduled for midnight, has been averted, at least tempo rarily. Doulglas said an agreement not to strike at midnight was reached in his office between G. T. Baker, president of National Airlines, and David Behncke, president of the AFL Air Line Pilots’ Association. “They agreed to continue for a few days their efforts to settle their dispute,” Douglas told a reporter. Douglas said the dispute is over the discharge of a National Airlines pilot following an acci dent. The company’s other pi lots, he said, threatened to quit until the discharged pilot was reinstated. Behncke left for Chicago after the conference. Neighber he nor Baker was reached immediately for comment._ Masses Of Morons May Menace U. S. In 2,000 BY CHARLES R. McCABE United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Nov. 19—(U.R)— Unless Americans breed with greater care, the United States soon after 2,000 A.D. will be “a nation of high-grade morons ruled by the few surviving clev er people,” according to Dr. Walter B. Pitkin. The noted Columbia Univer sity professor and author of “Life Begins At Forty” made this pronouncement in a post script to the recently published revised edition of “Human Breeding and Survival” by Burch and Pendell. “Uncontrolled breeding,” he wrote, favors the survival and multiplying of the least gifted. “Unless we change present trends, five generations hence your descendants (if you have any) will be the stupidest great great grand-children of the stup idest great grandchildren of the stupidest grandchildren of the stupidest children of parents now living.” Unless “reckless breeding” is stopped, he continued America I See MORONS On Page Two Debate On Floor Set For Monday Foreign Relations Group Reverse Stand On Out side Buying WASHINGTON, Nov. 19 —(U.R) — The Senate Foreign Relations committee today unanimously approved a bill authorizing $597, 000,000 of emergency aid for France, Italy and Austria, and Chairman Arthur H. Vanden berg, R., Mich., said that floor debate would begin Monday. Reversing a previous Congres sional stand, the committee amended the act to provide for spending up to 25 per cent of the funds to purchase relief supplies outside of the United States, thus reducing the drain on American markets. It also rejected proposals to place the program under a spec* ial new agency, and specifically stipulated that existing foreign relief channels be used. Other amendments are de signed to insure that the Aus trians, French and Italians know where the relief is coming from, and that they do their utmost to help themselves in the meantime. To Keep Busy Vandenberg, who is Senate president as well as head of the Foreign Relations committee, said that floor debate, once be gun, will continue until the bill is passed. If it is not approved by Thanksgiving, he said he would resort to the unusual pro cedure of holding the Senate in session on the Friday and Satur day following the holiday. Secretary of State Marshall has said the program is needed not later than Nov. 30. While Vandenberg was press ing for swift action, there were indications the bill might meet considerable delay in the Senate Appropriations committee which must approve the actual outlay of funds. Chairman Styles Bridges, R., N. H., said yester day his committee ‘would not be stampeded” and he promised a thorough investigation of domes See DEBATE On Page Two GROUNDED PLANES FAR FROM CLEAR Ladies Say No Indication Possible When DC-6’s Will Resume WASHINGTON, Nov. 19—(/P>— There still is no indication how soon the grounded DC-6 trans ports of six air lines will re sume passenger operations, Chairman James M. Landis of the Civil Aeronautics Board said tonight. Landis told a reporter experts of the CAB, the Civil Aeronau tics Administration, the Air lines and the Douglas Aircraft Corporation still are “going over the entire situation.’* “Nobody is ready to say at this time when the DC 6s will resume passenger operations,” Landis said. President Truman’s four-en gined DC-6, The Independence, and the sister ships of six air lines were grounded Nov. 12 afh er fire forced a DC-6 operated by American Airlines to land at Gallup, N.M., Nov. 11. Another DC-6, operated by United Airlines, crashed in flames in Utah last month, kill ing 52 persons. No on ewas in jured in the Gallup landing. Some investigators have ex pressed the opinion both fires originated in the heater compartment below the pres surized cabin. And So To Bed A "pink” minded liberal young man home in Wilming ton from the big city where he had become so educated that he scorned his former New Hanover high class mates was sounding off to some of his old cronies. Becoming bored with the trend of conversation one of the young students asked in mock seriousness: “Honestly, now, these Com- ' munist friends of yours do not pretend to seriously be lieve in Democracy, do they?” “Listen, my friend,” the pink came back, “Commu nists believe in our freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and individual rights so much ... so strong ... so passionately . . . that—” He paused for words. “They are willing to die, If need be, to put an end to it,” his interrogator finished for him.
