Cooke, Jr, commander of the U. s. SeV- enth Fleet, told a news confer ence today as he discussed the July 29 ambushing of a marine convoy near Peiping.

 Washington sources said they knew of no basis for such a re- port; and in Independence, Mo-, where President Truman was va cationing, presidential secretary, Charles G. Ross said he knew of no order for withdrawal.

Rajah, Dead, Alive, Died Saturday

LONDON, Aug. 5, -(P)-An Ex- change Telegraph Agency dis patch from Calcutta said that Ramendra Narayan Roy, Rajah of Bhowal, who won a 25-year fight in the courts last week to prove he was legally alive, died Saturday in Calcutta while wait ing for King George VI to sign an order restoring his vast do- main.
 The Privy Council, highest ju- dicial authority in the British Em- pire, last Tuesday recognized the Rajah's claim by dismissing the case of Rance Bibhabatii, "widow" of the Rajah, who said Roy died at Darjeeling in 1909 and was cremated.
 The Rajah maintained that while his funeral pyre was burn ing, heavy downpour drove his mourners to shelter. The rain revived him, he said, and he was rescued by passing beggars with whom he lived for l2 years while suffering a loss of memory.

merly blacklisted Swedish industrial
ist, had been granted a 60-day
transit visa to enable him to return

RfC 10 Buy Binder Twine
To Meet Harvest Demands

Sterilization Director Steelman
today directed the Reconstruction
Finance Corp. to purchase 10000
900 pounds of binder twine from
Mexico and Cuba and absorb what
ever losses are necessary in reselling
it to domestic users.
Action was taken when the Civil
ian Production Administration re-
ported domestic production of bind
er twinen could not be stepped up
sufficiently to meet the demands of
next years harvest because record
crops this year have so depleted
stocks.
The White House statement said
RFC is continuing to purchase all
cordage fibers imported into this
country although subsidy payments
on cordage other than binder and
bailer wire were discontinued on
June %. These fibers allocated by
OPA to domestic manufacturers of
twine at prices involving subsidy
losses are to permit resale of the
finished product at approximately
the l94l price level
