Foreign Aid Program Must Stand On Merit—Martin

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6. (UP)—House Speaker Joseph W. Martin, Jr., said today "there will be no rubber-stamping" of the administration's foreign aid program by the Republican-controlled Congress. "It's going to have to be justified all the way," Martin told newsmen as he returned to the capital in advance of the Nov. 17 special session. "They have got to put in on a sound, intelligent basis." His remarks were made as various plans both for quick emergency aid to Europe and for the long-range Marshall plan appeared to be jelling rapidly. These were the developments: 1. President Truman told a news conference he wants the special session to act first on emergency aid, and then take up what he considers the equally-important problem of high prices. 2. Mr. Truman announced that he will send a separate, comprehensive message either to the special session or the regular session in January on the Marshall plan. This will be based on the many reports he has been receiving on Europe's needs and the ability of this country to finance European recovery. 3. The special house committee on foreign aid met for a second time today in an effort to complete its recommendations on emergency aid. It was reported to favor sidetracking the Marshall plan at the special session to concentrate on immediate stop-gap aid.

Dewey Foreign Aid Talk Seen Debut In GOP Race

NEW YORK, Nov. 6. (UP)—Gov. Thomas E. Dewey in a major foreign policy speech last night urged financial aid for Europe and Asia as the alternative to being surrounded by a billion people in a Soviet controlled armed camp reaching from France to China. The biting speech was interpreted as Dewey's active entrance into the 1948 Republican presidential campaign. Dewey blamed present high prices on the Democratic leaders' "economic ignorance," and accused the administration of bungling along in a cold war against "able and purposeful men who know what they want and propose to get it." He called for quick congressional approval of the Marshall plan—although he did not call it by name—as a cheaper method of protecting America's standard of living than huge appropriations for military preparedness against aggression.

Philly Catholics Picket 'Amber' As Theatres Ignore Bishop's Decree

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 6. (UP)—Members of two Roman Catholic organizations today picketed two central city theaters which turned down an ultimatum by Cardinal Dennis Dougherty, archbishop of Philadelphia, to discontinue showings of "Forever Amber" and "the 'Outlaw." Members of the Catholic war veterans and the Holy Name Society began picketing the theaters last night shortly after the expiration of a 48-hour deadline given by the Cardinal for withdrawal of the films to avoid a year's boycott from 1,000,000 Catholics in his 10-county archdiocese.

Union Pacific gained 1/2 to 144 3/4 and minor advances were made by Pepsi-Cola, Mission Corp., Curtiss-Wright, and Reynolds Tobacco B.

'Chute Value Declared Negligible

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 6. (UP)—James M. Landis, chairman of the civil aeronautics board, agreed today with the airlines that parachutes would be of little use to commercial passengers in time of emergency. "To fit out all passenger," Landis said, "a plane crash occurs when everything is going along fine." Landis, here to address the closing session today of the 24th annual conference of the American Municipal Association on aviation and its problems, made it clear that everything humanly possible was being done to prevent crashes.

Caldwell Sees Marshall Truman Mate

TALLAHASSEE, Fla., Nov. 6. (UP)—Gov. Millard Caldwell said today he thought Gen. George C. Marshall, secretary of state, would be the best running mate for President Truman in the 1948 presidential election. Caldwell strongly favors Mr. Truman for a second term and expressed belief that Marshall, with his combined military and diplomatic experience, would be a natural for vice president.

Bishop Louttit Will Remain In Florida

BUFFALO, N.Y., Nov. 6.—(UP)—Bishop Henry I. Louttit today declined to accept the Bishopric of the Episcopal Diocese of Western New York to which he was elected several weeks ago. In a telegram to the very Rev. Edward R. Welles, chairman of the Diocesan Nominating Committee, Bishop Louttit said he would continue in his present capacity as Bishop of the Diocese of South Florida. Bishop Louttit sent the telegram from Winston-Salem, N.C., where he is attending a national meeting of the House of Bishops of the Episcopal Church. "I am regretfully declining the call to Western New York, believing God wills me to stay in South Florida," the telegram said. A spokesman in the diocesan office here said Dean Wells was "Too surprised and dismayed" to comment immediately on the refusal. The 44-year-old Florida prelate was elected at the last of a series of three special conventions held here and in Niagara Falls, N.Y., as a successor to the Rt. Rev. Cameron J. Davis who retired as Bishop of the Diocese last September.

Mother Charged With Attempt To Sell Child

Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 6—(UP)—Tiny Mrs. Louise Brooker, 22-year-old buxom red-head, was held in contempt of court today for a bitter outburst over seeing her third and last child taken from her. "The next time I have a baby I'll give it to you to start with," Mrs. Brooker snapped as she was led from a juvenile Court hearing. "You're pretty good at taking them." Judge Walter S. Criswell, who had just ordered three-month-old Singe Viola placed in the Children's Home Society here, sentenced her to 30 days in jail. Mrs. Brooker and her 28-year-old husband, Rexford, had just been bound over to criminal court on charges of stealing two-and-one-half year old Penelope Sue and Margaret Lou from the home last February and trying to sell them for $1,800.

Elephant Tramples Keeper In Car

Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 6—(UP)—William Brown, 79-year-old elephant keeper, was trampled to death today by an elephant inside a baggage car here. Brown died in Grady Hospital an hour after being trampled. He was in the car with three elephants which had been brought here for a Shrine Circus.

Alert and Energetic Citizenship Can Solve Traffic Safety Problem

By MILLARD F. CALDWELL Governor of Florida Traffic safety is a challenging problem. That problem can be solved by an alert and energetic citizenship. The difficulty of the problem is more imaginary than real. It arises from a point of view which accepts with a shrug of indifference statistics that should stimulate us to concerted action—the point of view that "it cannot happen to me." In fighting this problem, we have followed the same policy that followed in respect to the problems of education, juvenile delinquency, taxation, water control. I asked the citizens of Florida to take an active part in the solution of these problems, beginning with the assembling of representative citizens from all sections of the state to study the facts and propose businesslike solutions. The conference held in Orlando attracted hundreds of interested, public spirited citizens who separated into committees to give detailed and specific study to the phases of the total problem. I am hopeful that the studies will result in concrete plans of action and that the citizens assembled will fan out into every county and community in Florida so that a united citizenship will support the proposals and put them into effect. Much is at stake. Unless traffic accidents are checked, almost every Florida family will be affected within a brief space of time by the death or injury of a member or a close friend. Some of our citizens are frightened by the prospect of future war and by the threat of the atomic bomb but the more spectacular news blinds them to the every day no means as menacing to our security and safety. Our problem is to find the means to save lives, avoid injuries and preserve property. That objective is well worth some of our time and thought. The cost to us in life and limb of tolerating poorly designed intersections and crowding, careless and drunken driving, the operation of unsafe vehicles, is tremendous. We cannot afford it. The cost in property damage alone does not justify a continued policy of neglect. There is little difficulty about the design and construction of safer highway and street facilities. The problem of drafting and enforcing sound and uniform traffic laws and ordinances is simple and easy of solution. The only real difficult task in the whole program is to arouse the people to action and to sustained support of wise policies. In the solution of this problem we depend upon educators and those who direct the dissemination of information to the public. It is highly encouraging that education has such a prominent part to play in the Florida highway safety plan. Traffic safety must begin early and must be taught in the schools. It is also encouraging that the press and radio have volunteered so much enlightened support to the Florida highway safety plan. Our engineers, lawmakers and law enforcement agencies have important tasks. They know how and they can do the job, providing they have public support. Without it they can do little or nothing. The program is, therefore, moving off steadily and surely on a safe course. We have organized to get the facts, to place them before the people and to stimulate the citizenship to united support of sound and reasonable measures to promote the public safety. The job remains to be done but it has been tackled in a common sense, realistic fashion. I am confident that the people of Florida will finish this task.

Timid Scribe Finds X-Ray Less Painful Than Tongue-Lashing of Angry Subscriber

(Continued from Page One) "It's all over," he said with a little leer. I scuttled out as rapidly as dignity would permit—but when I looked out the door the large woman was still there and by this time her face had turned purple. Back I went to talk to the x-ray man. His name, I learned is Kenneth A. Humphrey. He is employed by the state board of health. One of the young ladies is Miss Carol Wilson, of the Dade county health department, and the other is Mrs. Paul Feinerer of the Junior Women's Club. Mr. Humphrey told me that the reason he "stretches" people on the machine is so that identifying number plates will appear on the x-ray above the picture instead of in it. He also told me that the machine (which is worth $8,000) has a 100 foot roll of film in it on which the pictures are taken. After they are developed, they are matched up with the identification number and a card is mailed to each person telling him the result of the test. In Coral Gables, Mr. Humphrey said, there have been almost twice as many women x-rayed as men. This, he said, is probably due to the fact that Coral Gables is a residential section. The whole process, including making out the card and having the picture taken, requires about 15 seconds, I was told. Noticing that the large woman had left, I headed for the door again—and made it this time. Just as I slipped around the corner, the L. W. stepped out of a parked car and headed for me. I was concerned. "Say, you!" she rumbled. "Don't you work for the Riviera-Times?" "Yes," I whispered. "You left my paper on the lawn last night and I didn't find it until this morning. See that you put it on the porch," she grated. "Yes," I whispered. Wonder if I'll get fired.

Vishinsky Charges Ouster Campaign In UN Appeal for Compromise

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y., Nov. 6—(UP)—Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky charged in the United Nations today that the western powers were trying to throw Russia "out of the household" of the UN. In an impassioned appeal for compromise, Vishinsky told the UN assembly's political committee that the United States and Great Britain had "given out the order" to keep a Soviet supporter off the UN security council when Poland's term ends on Jan. 1. Vishinsky made the charge in rejecting appeals for Soviet support of the American "Little UN Assembly" plan which is slated for emphatic approval later today in spite of the Russian threat of boycott. Vishinsky attacked what he called "Flamboyant Appeals" for Russian "cooperation" with the majority in the UN and said the appeals were like "The caresses of a boa constrictor extended to a rabbit." "We are being thrown out of this household," he shouted with a wave of his arms. "The UN charter is being violated and we hear appeals: 'Why don't you cooperate?' "You want to hold us close, perhaps close enough to suffocate us—like a boa constrictor extending caresses to a rabbit. "But," he snapped with a look at British delegate Sir Hartley Shawcross, "I am not a rabbit and Shawcross does not have the magnetism of a boa constrictor." Vishinsky heaped scorn on Argentine delegate Jose Arce who last night lambasted Russia's reecord in the UN. Vishinsky charged that Argentina wants to eject Russia from the UN. Vishinsky spoke after Shawcross, appealing for Soviet participation in the proposed "Little Assembly," said Russia was trying to impose its will on the rest of the world.

Postwar Job for Hughes Aide 'Discussed' Witness Tells Probe

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6—(UP)—A witness told Senate investigators today that Howard Hughes once "discussed" a postwar job for an Army General who helped the plane maker save $1,900,000 on a war contract. The proposal was dropped however, and the witness, Charles W. Perelle, former General Manager of the Hughes Aircraft Co., said he was advised by the millionaire sportsman "to forget about it." Perelle told the Senate War Investigating subcommittee that the officer was Maj. Gen. Bennett E. Meyers, former head of the Air Forces Materiel Command. Perelle said that although the postwar job was discussed for Meyers, Hughes made clear the proposal fell through. Meyers, the committee has been told, backed Hughes' claim for a $3,000,000 settlement for production costs on an experimental photo-plane. The $1,900,000 settlement was later made over the objections of Air Force technicians. Perelle, precise speaking and bespectacled, told the committee investigating Hughes' $40,000,000 in war contracts that he was paid $330,000 for 15 months effort to get the Hughes' Culver City plane plant of a "Country Club" atmosphere. He said his efforts were blocked when Hughes failed to give him a free hand.

Irate Producers Deluge Luckman With Chickens

Washington, Nov. 6.—(UP)—Crates of live chickens from irate producers were delivered to the office of Chairman Charles Luckman of the Citizens Food Committee today on the nation's fifth poultryless Thursday. Telegrams accompanying the chickens said in effect, "We are sending these chickens to you. We can't sell them and we can't eat them."

Bandits Hold-Up Cleveland Bank

Cleveland, Nov. 5—(UP)—Two armed bandits held up the State Savings and Loan Co. during the noon rush hour today and escaped with an undetermined amount of cash. Police said one of the robbers was "about 25" and the other "about 50". Officials of the Loan Company said no estimate of the loot could be made until a checkup at closing time.

Solon's Daughter Leaps to Death

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6 — (UP) — Ruth Reed, 40-year-old daughter of Rep. Daniel A. Reed, R., N.Y., was killed today when she leaped from the roof of the Women's Hotel where she lived. Deputy Coroner Christopher J. Murphy issued a certificate of suicide a few hours after Miss Reed's body was found in an alley beside the hotel.

Commission's Zone Change Hit by Daniels

(Continued From Page 1) felt that the zoning laws would be enforced." Daniels said he had received no notice that the matter would come before the commission on an appeal from the zoning board—nor had any other objectors so far as he had been able to learn. The commission action on the Lanni property, located on Alhambra Circle back of the Presbyterian Church, granted a temporary permit "revocable at any time by action of the city commission." The motion to grant the temporary permit was made by Commissioner Thomas C. Mayes. Commissioner Frank N. Holley, who cast the lone dissenting vote on the change, said at the time he felt the zoning board was charged with upholding zoning law and that it was not the commission's right to tear the zoning law structure down. Mrs. Lanni's plea, made through her attorney, former Mayor Roscoe Brunstetter, was based on her ability to sell the property for $8,000 more if the station were permitted to operate there. "There is many a barnacle scratched rump in the Jap army today" was the classic remark of a submarine commanding officer to his crew as all hands watched enemy trops attempting to slide over the side of their listing transport.

Fiber Glass Ordered Removed From Planes

CHICAGO, Nov. 6. (UP)—United Airlines officials said today that the civil aeronautics authority has ordered that fiber glass insulation lining the baggage compartments of all DC-6 planes must be removed by 7 p.m. tonight. A spokesman for the airline denied a report from Honolulu that all United's DC-6's had been grounded. He said that some flights were being delayed or cancelled today to permit time to remove the insulation and that the work would be completed on schedule. "We have not received a grounding order," the spokesman said. A United Airlines DC-6 crashed in Bryce Canyon, Utah, Oct. 24, killing 52 persons.
