Wilkes Stand on Stossen
Not Shared by Bockers
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Wendell L. WILKES demand thai
his potential Republican rivals bring
their presidential candidates. out
into the open seemed likely today te
go unanswered by Gov. Thomas E
Dewey of New York and Gen. Doug
las Macarthur.
Declaring it was difficult to deter
mine from his letter to Secretary OF
the Navy Knox whether Comdr
Stassen, former Governor of Min.
nesota, was candidate, Mr. Willkie
said it occurred to him that men who
are unable to discuss the issues with
the voters ought to withdraw from
the contest.
Mr. Wilkes appraisal of Comdr
Stassen's letter was not shared By
some Of his own supporters here
nor by the friends of other candi.
dates Senator Weeks, Republican
of Massachusetts,, a Willkie hacker
said he felt Comdr. Stassen wa.
definitely in the race, and Senator
Taft, Republican. of Ohio, a sup.
porter of Gov. John w. Bricker oi
Ohio, commented:
"This certainly is Comdr. Stas.
sens announcement that he Is q
candidate"
Senator Vandenberg, Republican
of Michigan who has urged the Re-
publicans to draft Gen. Macarthur
said he was certain in his own mind
that the general would maintain
silence about political matters.
The effect of Comdr. Stassen's let
ter apparently was to place him as
the only other avowed candidate
against Mr.. Willkie in Wisconsin
where Senator Ball. Republican, OF
Minnesota said Mr.. Willkie had
raised the point that the voters were
being called upon to cast ballots
indirectly for persons they did not
know would accept nomination II

Lava Over Pompeii

BY the Associated Press.
ON THE SLOPES OF VESU-
V1US, Mar. ga great new
eruption from seething Mount
Vesuvius today covered the area
around Pompeii with a 2-inch
layer of lava hurled through the
air In chunks, and sent glowing
Goals into houses of a third town
on the northwestern slope.
Pompeii, at the foot of Mount
Vesuvius on the south, was buried
by the eruption of 10 AID.
The hail Of lava fell over crops
in the area, burning them. Amer
lean and British soldiers wore steel
helmets against the shower, and
natives placed iron pots on their
heads.
Houses Swept Away.
Early today the molten river Of
lava rolling down the northwestern
side Of the mountain had swept
away the first houses in Cercola, z
miles from the peak.
The latest blowon of the volcano,
whose lava swallowed up the villages
of San Sebastiano and Massa di
Somma yesterday, came at 1 Am.
Flames shot 200 feet above the
circular cauldron, showering the
countryside with cinders and lava

tants of Cercola and completed the
removal OF the residents of the small
town Of Pollena- -Trocchia, which lies
Immediately to the east OF buried
San Sebastiano and Massa di
Somma.
Coastal Towns Menaced.
Concern also was felt for several
coastal towns farther to the west in
the path OF the new stream which,
while still more than two miles away.
was rolling toward them at the
rate of as to 80 feet an hour.
They are Portici, Tore del Greco
and several intervening villages, all
situated on an important coastal
road.
The northwestern segment Of the
famed Auto-Strada which encircles
the mountain also Is threatened.
Only handful Of buildings on
the extreme western fringe OF Ger.
cola had been buried by 10 am, and
authorities still held out some hope
that the main section Of the town
might be spared.

Italian Town Is Buried Alive
|By Lovo's Relentless Advance

Finally the structure crashes to the
ground. The lava advances easily
over the rubble. Nothing can stand
In the way. Anything that will
neither burn nor collapse is simply
covered up.
What is still standing Is not a
ghost town, although few of the in
habitants remain. The town is very
much Of living thing. Warm and
beautiful empty houses painted soft
pinks and yellows and browns have
potted plants at the windows.
There are palm shrubs and a few
Towering trees and in the warm
streets everything is quiet. 1t is
that way right up to the edge of
the lava.
Bulky Possessions Abandoned.
The departing families have taken
a few of their more precious and less
bulky possessions, leaving the rest
scattered about awaiting destruc-
ton. In q living room Of one house
only few feet from the advanc-
ing lava there is expensive polished
furniture, including piano. On the
table Is box full of family snap
shots which somebody apparently
had sorted through for the last
time before leaving them behind
One is q picture Of a man posing
stifdy with baby on his knee, an
other is of young girl dressed for
her confirmation. In another room
still made up Is four poster bed
and there Is a wheelless automobile
in the garage.
Next door Is an old-fashioned
photograph and the images OF two
richly costumed saints protected by
glass. Photographs of loved one,
have been put in with the saints.
The town does not seem to realize
that it is being buried alive. Al
one Of the buildings 100 feet away
went to the ground in q cloud oi
yellow dust the clock OF the towr
hall struck 2.
But the people who used to lister
to the clock had gone. One oi
them, an old man, was about a milk
