EISENHOWER BIDS
AUSTRIA BE READY

LONDON, Oct. 1.-CP)-A spokes-
man for General Eisenhower told
the Austrians in a broadcast to-
night ''to prepare for the arrival
of the Allies"
''The time has come TOR Austri-
ans to give positive and active
proof of their willingness to dis
sociate themselves from their
German masters the supreme
commander said in official in
structions broadcast at 100 p. m.
EWT).
''Austrians, in town and country,
should form in all their local COM
munities clandestine committees
for the arrival of the Allies. These
committees should be ready to
provide all possible help for the
Allies in regard to administration
Of local affairs; the purge of the
Nazis, the preparation of black
and white lists and the preserva-
ton of food stocks together with a
safeguarding of transport and ma
chinery.'
The Austrians were told if these
instructions were followed, the
chances of Austria becoming a
devastated theater of war - as
the Nazis wish, it to become -
would be lessened.

through Human and on south
through Kwangsi province has
driven the American air. force
from forth base. Gen Joseph w.

forces that cut through the south

Tanchuk is At miles west of WI

Despite the loss of this base, the
Fourteen Air Force struck re-

CREMLINS BLAMED
FOR GHOST PLANE
By DWIGHT L. PITKIN.

A UNITED STATES BOMBER
BASE, East Anglia, Britain, Oct. l.
R-Lt. Clifton w. Eccles said to-
day the Gremlins must have talk
en- over the flying fortress MEL

doned by its crew and flew 600
miles across England, Fire and
out over the Atlantic before Raj
fighters shot it down.
Eccles of route 2, Duke, Okla,
a veteran of ten bomber missions
over Germany, explained how
Melancholy Baby became a ghost
raider setting off alerts in Liver
pool and a number of midlands and
Wales towns.
George (the automatic pilot
must have fallen down on the job, "
he declared. But the Gremlins
must have had a hand in it by
taking over the ship when we
bailed out
Eccles ordered the crew to par
achute when. one engine caught
fire and then jumped himself af-
ter setting the automatic pilot to
take the ship up the North Sea.
"Only ten minutes previously we
had taken off on a bombing mis-
sion to Germany" Eccles said.
1--WE had reached $500 feet when
saw that one engine was in
flames. The seat of the trouble
was far too close to our full load
of gasoline for me to be very hap.
py about it. For quarter of ar
hour fire extinguishers poured
foam on the engine while threw
the ship about all over the place.
1--WE thought that we could drown
the fire or blow it out but I saw
it was hopeless. Turning back in
land I ordered my crew to jump
and when the last man had gone
/ headed out to sea again, set the
automatic pilot so that the ship
was certain to crash into the drink
and then bailed out myself
'It was the first time I had
taken up this Gremlin-ridden Mel
ancholy Baby and I did not expect
to hear from her again.

grave fears today that 200 or 800
deaths from drowning had occurred

the danger of epidemics through
out southeastern Mexico. where
whole towns and villages have
been washed away and thousands
of people, homeless and hungry,
are marooned by the foundations.
These people are crowded to-
gether in large numbers in some
localities. Sources of drinking wa.
ter have been contaminated by the
floods, which will not subside for
many days, although the heavy
rains have ceased.
Epidemics of amoebic dysentery,
typhoid or other intestinal di-
seases would cause heavy mortali-
ty.
The federal health and military
authorities are sending out physi-
clans and nurses with medicines,
vaccines and supplies to care for
those who are endangered.

SOUTHERN TEAMS
UPSET CUESSERS

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 1.-lR-
The Southern Conference football
squads took real battering from
outside foes Saturday and North
Carolina State emerged unexpect-
eddy with the only major scalp OF
the day.
An underdog state eleven won
weird contest from the University
of Virginia's Viz, 1870, by recov-
ering two Cavalier fumbles beyond
the goal line in the final period.
Virginia had been biting off ire
hunks Of yardage all af-
ternoon but failed to punch over
a score.
Favored Duke went down before
a determined young Penn team,
1877. Little Catawba ripped v. M.
I. 7-6 to spoil the cadets home
coming day, Georgia Navy proved
to strong for South Cardinals
gamecocks, 20-14. Army
crushed north Carolina, 1870. Geor-
gia Tech smashed Clemson $40.
All in all, it was one of the
darkest Saturdays in conference
history. Aside from N. C. States
triumph the only other brighten
ers were William and Mary's 46-0
verdict over Fort Monroe and
$40 decision over the
Richmond Army Air Base, both be-
ing expected over none too strong
service aggregations.
Loop members will pay more
to their own pennant
race next Saturday with three
family scraps on the docket. Mary
land plays at Wake Forest, V. M.
I. at Richmond and N. c. State
Clemson at Charlotte in the games
which will count in the standings.
Wake Forest with a win over
North Carolina and Duke with a
success over Richmond are lead
ing the race so far. No other con-
ference games have been played.
Wake Forest has one of the strong
est civilian elevens in this section
and followed up the Carolina tri-
umph with a 14-7 score over Geor-
gia on Friday night. Maryland
bowed to Hampden-Sydney 1910 on
the same night.
North Carolina will carry on the
inter-conference rivalry Saturday
by meeting Georgia Tech of the
Southeastern at Atlanta. Duke
