High-pressure hoses were used in
the fight to subdue the refugees
after the marines got aboard. Even
so, fighting continued until nearly
noon, though Haifa was reached
at 7 a.. m.

Several Jews were reported tc
have leaped overheard in the con

could not be officially confirmed.
British reinforcements movee

Cup speed boat races Sunday after

There was no formal White
House statement Immediately.
The commerce post was left
vacant by the resignation of Wal
lace Friday, at the Presidents re-
quest, as the upshot Of a cabinet
split largely over policy toward
Russia.
Wallace in a New York speech
last week criticized the American
attitude toward the Soviet Union,
decrying any "get tough with Rus
STA" policy and commenting on
British imperialism"
Opposing any tying Of American
foreign policy to that of London,
Wallace said it should be acknow-
lodged that we will try to demo
cratize the American Sphere of
influence" while the Russians will
try to communize their own sphere.
He suggested that the United States
has no mor business in the politics
Of Eastern Europe, than Russia has
in the affairs of the Western hemi-
sphere.
Wallace in a speech after his
resignation, however, denied he
was arguing for the idea of spheres
of influence, a theory strongly op-
posed by Secretary of State Byrnes
with the support of President Tru-
man.
Harriman's own ideas on the sub
ject of dealings with Russia have
been rather fully set forth in
speeches and statements.
1--WE agree that Russia is entitled
to security" he said in a broadcast
last spring, adding: "but in gain
ing this security 1 still hope Russia
will accept, as we have, that the
chief hope of the world is in collec-
tive security through the United
Nations organization.
"A country which attempts to
gain security through unilateral &C.
ton, through aggressive, indepen-
dent action, is only opening the
gates of disaster"
Harriman's nomination for the
London post was unanimously con-
firmed by the Senate in April, this
year. He had just come home from

this deficiency in the country's
maritime power, somebody got the
idea of pouring ships out Of con-
crete.
The S. S. Cape Fear was the first
such ship poured" in Wilmington.
The "pouring"-and it must have
been a far cry from a social tea
took place in the Liberty Shipyard
at the foot of Greenfield street on
the banks of the Cape Fear.
We repeat that we don't know
what day, month, or year it was,
but we have been told that just
about everybody in town a there
at the foot of Greenfield street the
day the S. S. Cape Fear took to the
water.
FISH'S-EYE VIEW - It so hap
pened that many of the spectators
took to the water too. Lots of folks
rowed out onto the river in small
boats to get a fish's-eye view of the
celebrated launching.
AS you can perhaps tell from the
picture, the ship was launched side
ways. Everybody, including the
shipwrights, thought the vessel
would slide in pretty gently, with
out maybe making more than a
few ripples.
Well it slid in-like your fat Aunt
Fanny on a bar of soap in the bath
room. The ship listed way over on
one side, then owe on the other,
then back again on the first, and
so on for several minutes like a
r~oly-poly doll with a lead weight in
its britches.
The vessel finally righted itself,
but what havoc it had created. All
those small spectator boats had
been washed up on shore, and their
occupants were bobbing in the
water, and the folks on shore were
hastily initiating waterwings.
CAPRICTOUS PLAYMATE-Yes,
the old S. S. Cape Fear really made
a big splash, no doubt the splash
lest debut ever made by any young
lady along the Cape Fear.
The man who told us this story
is Mr.. Carl Render. Mr.. Render
was a spectator at the event, but
he neglected to say whether he saw
it from the shore or the water.
Mr.. Edgar Keal is the man who
loaned us the picture, and he also
neglected to tell us from which
position he beheld the spectacle.
We're beginning to O n d e r
whether there was a dry suit of
clothes in town that night. And
we're also starting to wonder
whether the S. S. Cape Fear might
make such a good mascot after all.
A hunk of concrete that size with
such ~horse-play tendencies might
make a cumbersome and caprici-
GUS playmate.

REPORTS INDICATE
SLAVERY OF CTS
American Fliers Believed In
Hands OF Aboriginal
Lolo Tribesmen

NANKING, Sept. 22-(P-The U.
S. Embassy has received reliable
reports indicating that home Amer
lean airmen who were forced down
inn 1914 are living as slaves OF the
aboriginal Lolo tribesmen in noun
famous Western China, Ambassa-
dor j. Leighton Stuart said Sunday.
The reports have been passed on
to American military authorities
for futher investigation, DR.. Stuart
reported
One of these reports, he said,
came from DR.. David Graham of
West China Union university at
Chengtu. in Szechwan province.
Chengtu was one of the earliest
American BIG bases. The captive
flie-s, were reported to have been
seen southwest Of there along the
route which the Superfortresses
followed when they were ferried to
China from India.
DR.. Graham is one of the best
known students of the aboriginal
tribesmen who live in that remote
area of Western Szechwan and
Eastern Sikang. a the borders of
Burma, Assam and Tibet.
The reports received here said
three Americans had been seen
with the tribesmen, who treated
them as chatte.s and forced them to
DO mental chores in return for a
bare existence.
Dr.. Stuart expressed the belief
that downed airmen might have
fallen into the hands of rowing
opium dealers, who are known to
exert a considerable influence
among the tribes, and that these
merchants sold the men into slav-
cry.
Organization Of an expedition
even to investigate the reports
would be a tremendous task, and
rescue would have to be effected
by barter, in the opinion of Ameri-
can officers who gained some slight
familiarity with that wild country
during the war.
The LoloS, a numerous race, esti-
mated by some authorities to total
millions of persons. are believed to
be Caucasoids, rather than Chinese.
Many centuries ago they fled into
the almost impossible mountains
to escape Chinese conquest.
They have maintained their own
language, a Tibeto-Burman tongue
with syllable writing. and still cling
to their savage customs. Chinese
officials largely have left them
alone, and what little is known of
them comes from Chinese COM
munists who came into contact
with them during the historic COM
munist retreat across China ten
years ago.
According to these sources, the
communists were able to cross the
Lolo country by processing that
they, too. were enemies of the
Chinese, and even got some of the
Lolos to accompany them to Yenan.
Living a primitive and poverty
stricken life in unfinished huts of
mud and stone, the Lolos neverthe-
less have a rigid system of social
classes, with hereditary tribal rul-
ers. feudal lords known as ''White
Lolos," a caste of serfs, and final
~ slaves devoid of all human
rights.
While the reports of Americans
in this lowest class remain to be
checked fully, airmen who flew
over that route during the war are
not disposed to doubt thei- accur-
acy, pointing out that numbers of
men still are listed as missing and
that in some instances wrecked
planes were found without crews.
Due to the isolation and rugged
ness of the territory, however, it
may be a long time before the truth
is learned.
