Libera|ized Eligibility Rule
For V.FW, Recommended

A special eligibility committee OF
the Veterans of Foreign Wars rec
commended yesterday that the or
ganization membership be opened to
veterans who hold the American
Theater Ribbon, high lighting &C
tivities of a one-day meeting at the
Hotel Statler.
At present, the organization rig
idly restricts membership to men
who actually served on foreign
shores during wartime.
The move was aimed particularly
at opening VFW doors to numerous
Navy and Coast Guard personnel
who had sea duty near boundaries
of the United States, spokesman
said. He added that the liberaliza-
ton would recognize that our shores
were threatened during World
War II.
In addition to holding the ribbon,
however, it was said that applicants
would have to furnish proof OF serv-
ice sin, under or over hostile wa
ters" in the vicinity of the United
States. The committee further rec
commended that veterans would have
had to serve in the Atlantic prior
to November 8, 1945, and in the
Pacific prior to March 2, 1916.

Continue Mexico Flight
BY the Associated Press

NOGALES, Ariz., Jan. 11.-Howard
Hughes, multimillionaire sportsman
and aviation enthusiast, and Cary
Grant, the movie actor, tonight were
en- route to Mexico City as the fear
for their safety that had arisen
when they failed to notify military
authorities of their whereabouts
gradually died down.
The pair, flying in Mr.. Hughes
B-23 plane, landed at Guadalajara.
Mex, late today, several hours after
they left this Southern Arizona
border town for the Mexican
Capital.
The Air Material Command at
Wright Field started a Nationwide
search for the flyers, after his plane
had been unreported for more than
IL hours. n
Mr.. Hughes and Mr.. Grant left
Dayton, Ohio, last night for Anna
rillo, Tex. Over Indianapolis at
$40 pm. his whereabouts were un-
reported until he made a business
call to New York associates just be-
fore he took off here for Mexico City.
However, Mr.. Hughes had landed
briefly at the airfield at Ell Paso,
Tex. He took off from there at 2:30
am. and arrived at the Nogales In

ton of Congress.
Senator Russell also said he was
not trying to avoid investigations,
but wanted them conducted by the
regular committees. He predicted
the whole effort to get rid of special
committees would fail If the first ex-
tension passed.
Brooks Sounds Keynote.
In a preliminary debate Friday.
Senator Brooks, Republican, of Illi-
nois, chairman of the Rules Com
mittee, sounded the main argu-
ment for extension of the War
Investigating Committee when he
declared $40O, 900 100000 was appro-
priated during the war, and that
much of it necessarily had to be
granted behind a curtain of secrecy,
He raised the question whether an
effort now would be made to pre-
vent the special committee from
looking behind the curtain.
If party lines held firmly, both
resolutions would pass, since there
are 81 Republicans to A Democrats.
Zone Democrat, Senator Bilbo of
Mississippi, has not been seated)
The outcome is far from certain,
however, due to reports that there
are likely to be breaks on both
sides, unless preliminary agree
ments take some of the heat out
of the fight.
The War Investigating Committee
gathered some information last year
on American zones of occupation
in Europe. Yesterdays reported
agreement appeared to be a con-
cession of jurisdiction to the Armed
Services Committee on that subject.

Mr.. Etheridge, who said he
planned to resign when a new court
is elected, charged McMinn County
Republicans with being responsible
for the threats.
Jim Buttram, chairman Of the

Every one of those who resigned
was part of the last element of the
Paul Cantrell machine" Mr.. Can
trell headed a powerful Democratic
political organization which ran
McMinn County for 10 years before
the war veterans revolt last August.
However, four county officials
elected last August and who did not
resign, said in an open letter they
believed the CT nonpartisan League
'tis at an end" The letter said,
I'VE abolished one machine only to
replace it with another and more
powerful one in the making" 1t
added, People have been beaten
up, homes fired into and threats
made, all under the guise of the
GIs, which we had no knowledge OF
and did not condone." They would
not elaborate.
The signers were County Trustee
Frank c. Carmichael, County Court
Clerk George A. Painter and Circuit
Court Clerk w. E. Handy, Demo-
Gratis, and Register Charles K.
Pickel, Republican.

Cars Remain Upright.
Railroad officials said they
believed the fact all the cars re-
manned upright kept the total of
injured down.
About three hours after the acci-
dent, the uninjured passengers were
on their way again, riding special
train sent from Alexandria. Some
passengers, however, elected to re-
turn to Washington. They were
given transportation on the next
northbound train.
A railroad spokesman said the
wreck failed to interfere with nor
NAL traffic. Southbound trains Of
the Southern Railway and Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railroad were
switched to the northbound track
for the stretch of road around
Burke as wreckers and maintenance
men labored to clear and repair
the Southbound track.
One person who believes he mar
rowly escaped death in the wreck
was Charles F. Dyer, So, of Burke,
who carries the mail between the
train and the post Office.

Mr.. Dyer said he had parked his
car and was standing on a siding
waiting for the local train when
he saw the Tennessean coming
around a bend. He started walking
away to give the flyer plenty of
room, he said, when something hit
him in the back of the head and
knocked him in a ditch.
Half crawling, half rolling, he
started moving back. He said he
noticed one of the flying rails strike
the spot where he had stood.

Miss Breeden lifted from her feet
and knocked across road into a

as he reached her side.

said, struck his parked car below

knocking of a wheel and ramming
the undersection.

reported.
