Brief Review Of State, National And World News During The Past Week 25 U. S. ARMY AIR MEN ARE FOUND SAFE Manila — Twenty-five U. S. Army airmen have been found, safe, one was killed and one la Still missing after parachuting from their transport plane in a storm over Northern Luzon early Saturday, the 13th Air Force an nounced. The survivors walked into Bon toc yesterday and were taken by car 90 miles south to Baguio. The abandoned C-46 plane landed in a cane field near Tan dul in the Cagayan Valley about 160 miles northeast of Manila and more than 50 miles southeast of Bontoc. The Manila Bulletin said it was only slightly damaged. Major James T. Gribble, senior survivor, told headquarters by telephone that the one fatality re sulted from bailing out. The miss ing man is the object of wide spread air and ground search. ' NATION’S FARMERS GET RECORD INCOME Washington—The nation’s far mers received a record $24,500, 000,000 for last year's crops and started 1947 with assets worth $111,209,000,0b0, Agriculture De partment economists reported. The 1946 “cash receipts’’ repre sented an increase of 208 per cent over the prewar 1935-39 average, while the asSet figure was more than double the value farmers held on Jan. 1, 1940. The economists’ report, based on revised figures, pointed' out that most of the increase in far mers’ gross earnings resulted from still-booming prices that have shot up their income -still further during the first eight months of this year. Despite the record take last year, the report said, farmers went further into debt. The total crop loans increased from $3,119,000, 000 to $3,524,000,000 during the year, and mortgages on farms climbed $600,000,000 to a year end total of $4,890,000,000. MANY PAY TRIBUTE TO FIORELLO LAGUARDIA New York — The polyglot me tropolis Sunday paid a tribute of tears to Fiorello H. LaGuardia, an immigrant’s son who had a passion for its people. In shuffling procession, their somber stillness ruffled by sobs, the sleek and the ragged, the ancients and Infants of New York’s melting pot filed through the cathedral of St John the Divine to view the remains of the former Mayor. Men in sports shirts, others in top hats, women in slacks and fashionable low hemline dresses, mingled in the throng that hour after hour, 40 a minute, passed the brown metal casket. More than 20,000 were expected to pass the bier. Monday the “Little Flower,” a victim of cancer at 64, was eulo gized and- buried by dignitaries. But this was the day for the or dinary people he fought to help. So many came that police open ed the mourning procession at 9 a', m., three and a half hours ahead of schedule. A column four deep stretched two blocks from the Cathedral by noon and grew longer as the bright Autumn day wore on. FRENCH TAKE FIRM STAND WITH U. S.

Hurricane Death Toll In Southern States Over TOO New Orleans — The estimated i death toll of the fearful hurri-; caAe that swept the Gulf Coast ! t naay neared the 100 mark as j the lifting storm and receding1 water permitted a survey of cas ualties and destruction'last week; end. Death laid its heaviest hand on i the resort area of the Mississippi;; Coast ih the Biloxi-Gulfprtrt vi- j cinity, which was flattened as if bv a siant scythe. | Twenty bodies were recovered, j As many as 81 persons were , re-j | ported dead or missing. Damage i to buildings and crops' mounted 1 into the millions of dollars. Prop erty damage in New Orleans was heavy. | _Jhe entire coastal area .was un- j ■ der martial law last night as the I storm, which earlier had blasted across Florida, blew itself out harmlessly in Northeast Texas. The estimated dead or missing was swelled by reports, which the Red Cross said were not confirm : ed, of 16 dead at Waveland, Miss.; i five to 12 dead at Pass Christian I and 21 men aboard three fishing ■ j boats. Hal Boyle, Associated Press re-, ' porter who flew over the storm torn area, saidT“damage may well run into the tens of millions of dollars—a $6,000,000 estimate is ; given for the Biloxi shrimp can-1 ning industry alone.” “Residents feel also that as the! Gulf waters yield up their dead the death toll will rise much high- ! er than at first believed,” Boyle said. Governor Fielding H. Wright of Mississippi and his adjutant gen eral sped to the striken area to investigate and direct law en forcement. One of the identified dead was George Wiltenmuth, 77, Biloxi night watchman, who died at his found soon. The council will dis cuss Germany at its meeting set for November in London. Bidault did not refer to Rus sian charges that there is “war mongering" in the United States. But he did say that there is no truth in Soviet charges that the 'Marshall economic plan to aid Europe seeks to “enslave” that continent. * Peden News Rev.

As War Arena i---: Moscow — The Communist newspaper Pravda declared that Secretary of State Marshall was trying to turn the United Nations into an arena for waging “diplo matic war” on the Soviet Union, it asserted the action threatened the life of the world peace organi sation. Both Pravda anil the official government newspaper, Izvestia, j assailed American policy in a :ontinuing offensive by the Rus sian press and radio to capture world opinion on the Soviet side in the debate now going on in the United Nations General As sembly in New York. Said Pravda’s J. Viktorov: “The United Nations, even in its present far-from-perfect state, I is a barrier against the realization of American expansionist plans. “Marshall has, in his public speeches, declared ‘diplomatic j war’ against the Soviet Union and ' the other democratic countries, because tile presence of the So viet Union in the United Nations removes the threat of the estab lishment of a monopoly of dom- j inatioh on the part of the Ameri cans.” ! He raid th?t Marshall sought} to transform the United Nations into an instrument of Am eri can “dictation*’ over the-rest of the world. Both Pravdg and Izvestia promised the gtiffest opposition, to Marshall’s proposals in the; General Assembly. v They directed their heaviest, attacks against his proposal for a permanent committee of . the General Assembly to sit in con stant se-sion. “The ‘diplomatic war’ declared by the American delegation won’t turn into ap easy ‘triumphal march.’ =ald Viktorov. He added that the speech of Andrei Y Vis hinsky , in reply to Marshall “ppo-e rise to nanic among the ‘pallbearers’ of the United Nntiomsl and found unanimous approval among all sincere supporters of peace.” Vishinskv’s address, in which he accused the United States of seeking world domination, pro vided the basic themes for the Russian press and radio. Satur day, a literary magazine carried a bitter attack on Pres’dent Tru man, accusing him of trying for Hitler’s laurels and of being a tool of “Wall Street imperialism.” Cartoons in the newspaper ridi culed Marshall, Timely Hints Clothing specialists of the U. 3. Department of Agriculture ad me mothers to give special at tention to trimmings when buy ing or making children’s clothes this fall. Trimming affects not Dnly the looks of a garment but also its durability, upkeep and cost, as well as the child’s com fort. This fall many ready-made clothes and patterns feature fus sy ruffles, floppy collars, unnec essary pleats, sashes, bows and ether trim designed to catch the shopper’s eye rather than to meet children’s needs, the specialists say. Such trim often adds to the cost of a garment but very often it proves difficult to wash and iron, too fragile to last, and a nuisance to the younger wearer. Simple trimmings, both attract ive and practical, are suggested by one specialist. Instead of col lars that add annoying bulk a rnmd the child’s neck the spec ialists recommend a flat facing around .the neckline. This facing, if hoped like a collar and stitch ed. down op the. outside of the garment.: gives a collar effect, adds strength 'to .the ne-'VJme and is easy to iron.
