Truman Hopes To Attend Park Dedication Here

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19. (UP)-President Truman may go to Florida early in December to attend dedication ceremonies of the Everglades National park. A delegation of Florida Congress members, headed by Senators Claude Pepper and Spessard L. Holland, visited the president today to renew the invitation. White House press secretary Charles G. Ross said that the president has the invitation "under consideration," and it was possible that Mr. Truman may be able to take a few days to attend the ceremonies scheduled to be held on Dec. 6. Among those who called on the president with Pepper and Holland were Senator Howard McGrath, D., R. I., chairman of the Democratic national committee, and Reps. J. Hardin Peterson, Dwight L. Rogers, and George A. Smathers, and Emory Price, all Florida Democrats. A reception for the president has been considered at the Country Club of Coral Gables.

Princess Excited and Weary On Eve Of Wedding

LONDON, Nov. 19. (UP)-Princess Elizabeth wound up the social whirl of her unmarried life today with a valedictory tea party and an evening rehearsal of the ceremony in Westminster abbey which tomorrow will make her the bride of Lt. Philip Mountbatten. The eve of the wedding found the princess as excited as any bride to be. It also found her so weary that she held her engagements for the day to a final party at St. James's palace and the two-hour private rehearsal. Foreign royalty and their retinues were the guests at the afternoon party at the palace, where five rooms were filled with wedding gifts. As Elizabeth and Mountbatten left for the palace, their car moved carefully through a throng of thousands of persons who jammed the route. More thousands were outside Westminster abbey, watching workmen putting the final touches to the decorations. At the gate of the path leading to the great west door through which the wedding procession will pass, a huge red and gold marquee bearing the royal crest was erected. Twelve wedding cakes were delivered at Buckingham palace. Only one, a nine-foot confectioners' masterpiece, will be cut tomorrow by Elizabeth. She will use the sword of King George V, which Mountbatten will wear at the wedding.

U. N. Studies Methods To Modify Veto Power

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y., Nov. 19. (UP) - The United Nations political committee struck at Russia's use of the great power to veto today by calling on the "Little UN Assembly" and the Big Five voting privilege would lead only to trouble for the to modify the veto. The program was approved as proposed by the United States in the face of Russia's warning that attempts to tamper with the Big Five voting privilege would lead only to trouble for the UN. Soviet deputy foreign minister Andrei Gromyko left little doubt that Russia would not participate in the study. The American resolution was approved 36 to 6 with 11 nations abstaining. The Star states were the only dissenters. In single votes which led up to the overall ballot, key parts of the proposal were accepted 30 to 7 with 11 abstentions. Chile was the seventh 'no' voter. The action came as in the Palestine case the Arabs states unveiled their minority plan for an independent Arab-controlled Palestine together with a warning that the United Nations will have to back up its decision with "rule by force" if it partitions the Holy Land.

Swedish Airliner Crashes In Naples, Killing 20

NAPLES, Nov. 19. (UP)-A Swedish airliner crashed south of Naples today and Swedish officials said 20 persons were killed. The plane, a two-engined Bristol-type aircraft, was believed to have smashed into a mountain peak during a heavy overcast while enroute from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to Stockholm. All those killed in the crash were identified as Swedes. Four Swedish crew members were among 10 injured in the accident. The general passenger list had not been identified. The plane was owned by a private company.

Accidents Can Be Funny Dog, Kangaroo Play Roles In Zany Mishap Round-up

It used to be news when a man bit a dog. But in Baltimore a dog shot a woman. And that's not all. A kangaroo shot a man. So did a rabbit. A deer took a gun away from a hunter. A fish chased a fisherman off the road by sneezing in his face. A goose, a grasshopper, and a mouse got into the act, each in its own quaint way. All this was turned up by the National Safety Council in its annual roundup of odd accidents. And if you haven't already begun to suspect that things were a little wacky in the year just past, read on: About the dog that shot the woman. It happened in Baltimore as Mrs. Ruth Patterson was enjoying a bath. Her police pup, Toby, spied a gun on the washstand, put paw to pistol and let Mrs. Patterson have it right in the bathtub-or more precisely, right in the hand. Strange Case More understandable was the strange case of the kangaroo that shot a man. This happened in Australia when Arthur Crosbie shot a kangaroo through the hind legs and it fell on its back. Crosbie reloaded the rifle and put the butt on the kangaroo's neck to pin it down. The kangaroo reached up, twined a forepaw around the trigger and shot Crosbie through the arm. Rabbit Shoots Prompted by the same motive of self preservation, a rabbit that lived just outside Louisville, Ky., reversed the usual order of William Humphrey, a 16-year-old hunter. He stuck out a paw from Humphrey's game bag, pulled the trigger of Humphrey's gun and shot him through the foot. Humphrey now carries a rabbit's foot for luck when he goes hunting. Guess what rabbit! Back in the meatless days Del Halstead licked his chops as he drew a sight on a big buck deer near Buckhorn Station, Calif. Just as he released the safety catch on his rifle, he was hit from behind and sent sprawling. Another buck had bounded out of a thicket and landed, a la the Marines, in the nick of time. Halstead not only lost his gun-he lost two bucks. Falling Goose Edward M. Brown, of Beverly Hills, Calif., saw active service in the navy, especially in the Asiatic theaters without a scratch. He decided to relax by going hunting. A companion shot a goose. It plummeted down, struck Brown smack in the chest, knocked him flat, and inflicted injuries that kept him in hospital for days. Put a mouse and a woman in the same car and something has, to give. So when Mrs. Orson Rheingold, of Albany, N. Y., found she was sharing her car with a traveling field mouse, she just did what came naturally. The car zoomed into a pole and the field mouse returned to the field. Wrestling Salmon James Mantakes of La Grande, Oregon, was chugging along with a salmon he had caught in the back of the car. Desert dust got in the salmon's gills, and it sneezed again. As if that weren't enough to distract Mr. Mantakes, a grasshopper blew in the window. The salmon lunged at the grasshopper, missed and fell in the lap of the now thoroughly disorganized driver. Mr. Mantakes gave himself over to subduing the fish, the car crashed off the road. The salmon sneezed spitefully once again and succumbed.

Marshall Talk Warns Reds Showdown Due on Germany

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19. (UP) - Secretary of State George C. Marshall's brutally frank Chicago speech was recognized today as warning to the Kremlin that the United States is ready for a showdown on Allied policy toward Germany. It will come at the London Foreign Ministers Conference which starts Nov. 25. Marshall leaves for London tomorrow. If Marshall sticks to his hard-fisted position the conference scarcely can be an utter failure although Russia may continue to prevent the making of a peace treaty with Germany. The conference looks like the last Allied bid at four-power unity-and there isn't much chance of getting that. Treaty Is Objective The prime conference objective is a German peace treaty which will hasten the political and industrial unification and revival of that stricken country, Europe's recovery and, ultimately, the future well-being of the United States hang on the results of their efforts. Marshall bluntly said the United States would not be bluffed or dissuaded by Russian propaganda from the policies of European and world recovery upon which we already have spent huge sums. He accused the Russians of lying about us for propaganda purposes. "The people of this country are genuinely desirous of peace," said in an address last night before the Chicago Council of Foreign Relations and Chamber of Commerce. "They have been very patient in their attitude towards misrepresentation of their actions and motives. Today our good-will virtually have been driven into a state of active resentment and, having been goaded to this point, they are accused of having lighted and stoked the great fire of public resentment. "This last is propaganda, yes, of the most brazen and contemptuous character. It is time to call a halt to such inflammatory practices. U.S. Not Blind "We are aware of the seriousness and extent of the campaign which is being directed against us as one of the bulwarks of western civilization. We are not blind to any of the forms which this attack assumes. "And we do not propose to stand by and watch the disintegration of the international community to which we belong." That was straight talk-and stand of the Kremlin. It was warning that Marshall backed by the United States Government that the American people are in the game to stay and willing to play with blue chips. The stakes could not be higher. When Marshall said Communists and Soviet officials had venomously and with calculated purpose "vilified and distorted American motives in foreign affairs, he was talking about Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov, among others, and the two top Russians accredited to the United Nations, Andrei Vishinsky and Andrei Gromyko. Opponents of Recovery "These opponents of recovery," Marshall said, "charge the United States with imperialistic design, aggressive purposes, and finally with a desire to provoke a third world war. "I wish to state emphatically that there is no truth whatsoever in these charges, and I add that those who make them are fully aware of that fact." That is the way one diplomat calls another diplomat a liar. Denying Communist charges of imperialism, Marshall cited the record showing that we have annexed no territory. Both Great Britain and the United States have been reducing the area of their sovereignty, he said, while Russia has gone the other way. Frontiers Expounded "The Soviet Union has in effect considerably expanded her frontiers," he added. "Since 1939 she has de facto (in fact) annexed territory comprising an area of more than 280,000 square miles with a population of some 22,000,000 persons." Marshall permitted himself baffled by Soviet Union policy, especially the wanton manner in which the Communists have dissipated American goodwill for themselves and their government stored up during the war when the democratic world applauded the Russian stand against Hitler. Marshall obviously expects Russian double-dealing at the London Foreign Ministers Conference with efforts directed toward keeping Germany prostrate and Europe in economic disorder. They will the Communist party line from the tip of the Italian toe to far beyond the Soviet Urals. The United States will plug as earnestly for Germany's recuperation as the keystone of Europe's recovery. Germany is the key to Europe's recovery, Marshall told the Chicago audience. He said the Marshall Plan would fail unless Germany's industrial production is revived to pre-determined levels. Until Germany is restored in part to normalcy and Europe strengthened along with her, there will be no end to the summons for American aid to Europe. Marshall said our course involved risks but that the promise of success justified the chances we must take.

Unbreakable Dinnerware Promised by Potters

EAST LIVERPOOL, O. (UP) - The American dinnerware industry promises to make the quarrel-hung neighbors upstairs a little less noisy. Potters are perfecting unbreakable dinnerware, according to W. A. Betz, secretary-treasurer of the U. S. Potters Association. It will mean that being hit by a flying saucer will be just as painful, but the dish won't make so much noise when it hits the wall. Betz said the new dinnerware would be especially useful in hotels and restaurants, where the rate of breakage is high.

Cigar a Day Keeps 11-Year-Old Happy

HERCULES, Cal. (UP)-Eleven-year-old George Rutherford smokes a cigar a day-and he's been doing it for six years. Next to smoking stogies in a rubber-band, smoking stogies is his favorite hobby. George says a fellow showed him how to smoke. "Showed me how to chew tobacco, too," he adds, "but I only chew when I can't get a cigar."

In Both Theatres He joined the navy that year and subsequently spent two years on the seaplane tender USS Albemarle in both the Pacific and Atlantic theatres. He also served as control tower operator at the Naval Air Station in Atlanta, Ga., for a short time. After the war Burris rejoined Embry-Riddle as a G.I. flight student, and while working as a line boy, obtained his commercial pilot's license, instructor, multi-engine and seaplane ratings. At the same time he took private instruction in Spanish in order to increase his knowledge of the language and so assist the students from Latin-American countries. Burris is married to the former Marjorie Holdsworth of Concord, N.H. They live at 119 Avenue Menores.

Movie Man Proposes Higher Admissions

PHILADELPHIA (UP)-Hollywood's loss of foreign markets may cause an increase in movie admission prices throughout the country, according to Lynn Farnol, advertising and publicity director of Samuel Goldwyn Productions. Speaking before the Poor Richard Club here, Farnol described England's 75 per cent tax on imported films as a major blow to Hollywood productions. He said 80 per cent of the film industry's overseas profits has been wiped out. Farnol said the price rise was necessary if American screen entertainment was to maintain its present level.

Residents Hail and Howl Frat Houses on Campus

(Continued from Page One) be temporary and would be screened with shrubbery. Now they have paved it and still have not done any planting," he said. He told the commission that he was willing to see either duplexes or fraternity houses be erected there. Alex Smith, realtor, also urged that fraternity houses and duplexes be permitted, stating that he had prospects for the immediate construction of fraternity properties there. When Commissioner Andrew T. Healy asked if the University did not plan a fraternity row inside the campus boundaries, Smith countered by stating that fraternity houses on the campus would not be taxable while the same structures on Campo Santo could be placed on the tax rolls. Paul H. Brinson, representing J. H. Brock, filed an objection to both duplexes and fraternity houses. Boyce Miller joined with Lucchesi in protesting the erection of such structures on the border of the Riviera Country Club's golf course. Further hearing on the matter was scheduled for Dec. 4, when the Commission will also consider other protests.

Needed for Meetings Stressing the need to complete construction on the building, Morganthaler pointed out that it is virtually impossible for various high school organizations to hold meetings at the Center at the present time because of the lack of facilities. "There are dozens of groups at Ponce de Leon High School that have to meet in homes and in temporary places because we do not have the accommodations here," he said. "But when the high school wing is completed we will be able to offer them a headquarters for their extra curricular activities." He also said that plans have been made to make the dance patio more attractive so that dances there will be enhanced by tables, palms and other decorations.

Falling Supply Bans Water For New Areas

(Continued from Page One) to supply water to areas other than Coral Gables. The letter further stated that it did not feel that it was within the province of the city, as agent, to purchase water for distribution outside the city limits. The Consumers Water Co. had applied for a franchise to serve the city of South Miami, which currently uses individual wells. Held in Abeyance Asked whether or not they would continue their efforts to obtain the South Miami franchise, Keating said, "We'll have to hold everything in abeyance. Coral Gables comes first." He indicated that the franchise will probably be awarded to a group of residents of South Miami who have organized to form either an independent company or set up municipal operation. Mrs. Sylvia G. Martin, city clerk of South Miami, told the Riviera-Times today that the council took no action on water plans at its meeting last night, pending receipt of additional information from franchise seekers.
