Louis, Mo-, to Friar Point, Miss.
Crushed wharves and punctured
boats were left by the ice move

Gayoso Bend, near Charlottesville,
Mo-; Drivers Landing. Ark, and
Sugar Loaf, Ark. When these points
open up steamers can travel as far
north as st. Louis.
The steel-hulled Illinois, its 10

traffic as far south as Baton Rouge,
La, and foes were seen for the first
time in years as far down as New

police Joined in the hunt for three
men who repeatedly fled upon dis
coVery last night, leaving four
sticks Of dynamite inside the plant
fence under which they had bur.
roWed.
Suspect Sabotage.
Officers late today were uncertain
whether the attempt was the crude
work of some "sorehead "as Sheriff
Newman Debretton put it, or an
effort to sabotage the huge plant,
vital in national defense as the
source OF third of all the tetra-
ethel fluid used in the highest grade
gasoline consumed in the United
States.
The Du Pont Co. of Delaware does
not own the plant but operates it
for the Ethyl Gasoline Corp. of New
York. Adjacent to it lies one of the
Nations largest oil refineries, oper-
ated by the Standard Oil Co.. where
much South American petroleum Is
refined.
Discovery Of the attempt followed
an anonymous telephone call to a
night watchman, from a man who
said that while hunting frogs late
last night he discovered three men
attempting to invade the plant. The
Watchman investigated and found
the hole and dynamite, on which
finger prints were found. Sheriff
Debretton said he was tracing the
unknown caller.
Earlier Explosion.
Stringent precautions taken at the
plant included admittance of no one
without special numbered identifica-
ton discs. Automobiles and even
lunch boxes were being searched.
Huge tanks of tetraethel lead. an
ingredient of airplane fuel, were
near the place where the dynamite
was found. Three months ago an
unexplained explosion in one of the
buildings there killed three workers,
injuring others. Precautions were
frightened then, inasmuch as Baton
Rouge is river port, visited by nu-
merous foreign seamen.

WiIIkie Delays Plans
For Campaign Until
Talk With McNary
Subcommittee Meets
Twice, Adjourns for
Washington Session
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, July 6.---The Repub-
lican presidential campaign setup
was still in the formative stage to-
night and there were some indica-
tions that the projected three-man
board of strategy to direct Wendell
L. WILKES vote drive might not
materialize.
A special subcommittee of the Re-
publican National Committee, with
which Mr.. Willkie has held two ses-
tons, adjourned to meet again in
Washington Tuesday morning with
out having reached definite con-
clusion on campaign organization.
Awaits McNary Talk.
mo final decisions have been
made" Mr.. Willkie said, regardless
Of speculations, and there will be
none until I have had an oppor-
tunity to discuss the entire matter
with Senator McNary."
Mr.. Willkie plans to leave New
York Monday by plane for Wash
ington to confer with Senator Nc
Nary, his running mate.
The nominee said the subcom-
mittee had agreed upon all but
one member of the 15-member ex-
ecutive committee. Previously it had
been expected that the organization
and personnel of the campaign set
up would be announced at the con-
clusion of today's meeting.
The delay in reaching a decision
led some observers to believe that
the plan for three-man commit
tee to direct the campaign might
be passed for more orthodox
setup.
Martin Is Mentioned.
Mr.. Willkie said today that the
question of a triumvirate had not
been decided upon, nor had cam
paign manager or nationaf chair
man been selected. although the
entire matter had been thoroughly
discussed.
At the time he first mentioned
the three-man plan, however, Mr.
Wfllkie said it was merely one of
the propositions under considera-
ton. He said he had in mind a
campaign manager to head the COM
mittee, the national chairman to
direct the regular party organiza-
ton and third man to take charge
of independent groups and serve as
his personal representative on the
committee.
In connection with the posts of
national chairman and campaign
manager, the names of Representa-
tive Joseph w. Martin, jr, of Mas
sachusetts. House minority leader
and permanent chairman of last
weeks Philadelphia convention, and
Samuel w. Pryor. jr., national COM
mitteeman from Connecticut, were
heard most frequently.
Vacation in Colorado.
There was no indication from the
conferees whether the present
chairman, John d. M. Hamilton,
would be retained in that capacity
or in some other.
Mr.. Martin was an overnight guest
at WILKES apartment and the
nominee has had daily conversa-
tions with Pryor, who is member
of the subcommittee.
Mr.. Wilkie plans to leave WASH
ington by airplane for a Colorado
vacation next Tuesday after his
meeting in the Capital with the sub
committee.
