 The first move in the delicate at- tempt to rescue the men, who pre- sumably have been captives of the aborigines for more than two years, was made by Chinese Catholic priest. Familiar with the customs of the Lolos, the priest set out afoot from a Catholic mission at Hsi- chang on the border of LoloIand, 250 miles southwest of Chun9ktne.
 The priest intended to feel out the Lolos, fInd out their terms Of ransom if such could be arranged, and to assure them that the Ameri- cans had nothing but friendly in- tentiOne,

Pittsburgh WoterSuppIy May BeCut
 Two Coneiliotors
 Arrive to Attempt
 Strike Settlement

Pittsburgh, Sept. 90 - (UP) - A complete breakdown of electric serv- ice, which would cut off the city's water supply, threatened Pittsburgh today as a result of week old walkout of $500 power workers, and union and company officials were asked to meet in continuous session until the dispute is settled.
 Negotiations between the inde- pendent union and the Duquesne Light Company were broken off and two U. s. labor eonciliators were sent here last night in an attempt to settle the paralyzing strike.
 The mediators, William Margolis, assistant regional director, and Commissioner Lucien Rye, carried a personal message from Edgar L.. Warren, chief of the U. s. Concilia- ton Service, requesting both the union and company to remain in continuous session until all ob- stacles to ending the strike are re- moved"
 As the strike went into it's second week, public transportation was par aiyzed, many vital industries were closed, numerous stores and shops were shut up and tens of thousands of workers were idle. Streets in the city were dark and gloomy.
 Mayor David L. Lawrence, angry and grim, denounced the union as ''ill-advised" and dishonest" in a radio address yesterday in which he urged residents to conserve both water and electricity.
 Lawrence, speaking in shirtsleeves and suspenders, blasted George L. Mueller, president of the 1ndepen- dent Power Workers Union, for what the Mayor termed failing to keep his word to arbitrate the strike.

Shanghai, Sept. 30-(UP)-A U. s. Army rescue mission today rounded up silver, foodstuffs, and blankets with which 1t hoped to ransom five or more American air. men enslaved by head-hunting Lolo tribesmen in the wilds near Tibet.
 An official label of accuracy final- ly was put on reports that num- Der of Americans downed while flying over the hump from India to China during the war were in bond age of the savage tribesmen.
 Lt.-Col Herbert W. Wurtzler of Minneapolis headed the rescue mis- sion which swung into action. It hoped to lure the Lolos into 6 rela- lively easy surrender of the Ameri- cans with ransom materials which for the savages would amount to treasure trove.
 The mission also was gathering

denberg, aide to Secretary of State James P. Byrnes, devoted his maid en speech at the conference to the Danube.
 When vandenberg voiced the de- mand for an American voice in Danube internationalization plans, Fedor Gusev of Russia challenged him. Gusev asked why Russia and other distant states had no voice in the regulation of navigation on the St. Lawrence River.
 Touches Five Countries
 The British-American demand for unrestricted movement of interna- tional trade along the Danube was vigorously resisted by Soviet Russia and it's Balkan satellites. The Dan- ube, greatest waterway in southeast Europe, touches five countries on its course from southern Germany to the Black Sea.
 As the Conference entered It's 10th week-the last week for com- mission work under the speed-up plan--a United Press survey dis closed that the nine working com missions were only two-thirds fin- ished.
 They have voted on 147 of the 223 original articles in the five draft treaties Numerous amendments and one preamble are still unset- tied.
 Two of the toughest conference issues must be settled in the com- mission stage by Saturday. Danube navigation Is one. The other, and probably more explosive, Is Trieste.
 Group on Trieste Fails
 A subcommittee trying to draft statute to govern the proposed free zone of Trieste has reported complete failure and turned the task back to the Italian Political Commission. It indicated the Con- ference would be wasting time de- batting the issue before the Big Four settle their fundamental differ ences."
 The commission has adopted the French Line as compromise Ital- ian- -Yugoslav frontier over extreme Yugoslav opposition. Yugosalvia threatened to refuse signing the treaty If 1t includes the French Line, and to keep her troops in northwest Istria. The commission retaliated by adopting proposal which would bar Yugoslavia from Italian separations if she persisted in this course.
