Mail Star Route
May Be Extended

Senator Lawrence NJ. Fraley said
yesterday that discussion with Con-
gressman j. Glenn Beall recently may
lead to the extension of the star route
which now carries the mail from Oak
land to Friendsville, to Grantsville.
Fraley said that after taking the
matter up with Congressman Beall
that the latter contacted the postoffice
department in Washington. A reply
was received from John J. Gillen, act
ing second assistant postmaster gen.
eral who stated the recommendation
would be investigated by file officials
and that a report would be made when
the investigation was completed.
At the present time mail from Oak
land to Grantsville goes by way of
Cumberland. Fraley said it was easier
to get mail from New York than
Grantsville and people wanted closer
contact with the national highway
town and county seat.
Fraley said he had also asked for
an investigation covering the posi-
bility of having a rural mail delivery
for people along the Hutton-Finger-
board road. He said he understood
there were some 250 persons along
this route. At present these people
must go either to the Oakland or Hut
ton postoffice for their mail.
Fraley added that he had asked the
State Roads commission to place a
traffic light or blinker signal at the
intersection of route so with route
PIG, at Red House.

Found CriminalIy Insane

Elliott was ordered committed to
the Springfield State hospital on
Tuesday as criminally insane, accord
ing to officers.
Deputy Sheriff Paul Fisher said
States Attorney Dawson had ordered
a mental examination for Elliott and
that the examination was made by
DR.. E. |. Baumgartner, deputy medi-
cal examiner, and Dr. Edward E. Sol
lars, on Tuesday. They found him
criminally insane, the deputy said,
and Elliott was taken to the state
hospital at Sykesville later in the day
by Sheriff J. S. Teats.
Fisher stated that Monday night
while he was imprisoned at Oakland
he drank a small amount of dsin-
fectant and broke several light bulbs,
probably with the intention of eating
some of the glass.
Elliott told officials, they said, that
he started the fire at the Duckworth
house because he thought he was
freezing to death.
1t was learned from Mrs. Erwin
Reel, wife of the Mineral county
iailer that Elliott, who served two
years in Moundsville, W. Va, on a
burglary charge, formerly lived in
Elk Garden, w. Va, district.
Corporal Thomas Curric of the
Maryland State Police, arrested Ell
lott on the B. and O. railroad track;
near Bloomington, and Bloomington
residents said his arrest came after
he was recognized by a ncghbor
who saw him 90 to the Duckworth
home a short time before it started
to burn
County officials said Elliott ad-
mitted setting fire to the two-room
frame house, located at the Charles
Pattison mine on Backbone Noun
tain, about two miles from Blooming
ton, and also setting fire to hay
stack on the Pattison farm about a
quarter of a mile away, as we'll as
starting two small forest fires.
Duckworth, who recently completed
building the house, was at work at
the mine when the fire broke out, and
Mrs. Duckworth and their daughter,
3, had left the home to go to a near
by spring, neighbors said. The house
was in flames when they returned. All
of their belongings except the clothes
they were wearing, were DESTROYED.
Bloomington firemen, summoned first
to the hayStack blaze, turned their eff
forts to the house but water was
limited and they were unable to save
anything.
At keyser Mrs. Reel said Elliott.
who was sentenced to Moundsville
early in 1945, was picked up last Sep
tember Ia by Sheriff James A. Dixon.
Mineral county, on charge of violat-
ing his parole. Elliott continued to
sleep and get his meals at the iail
but was not imprisoned again. She
said he left last Friday morning and
did not return.

Report us. Ser geant Leads Indian Raiding Force

NEW DELHI, P)-T The U. s. embassy said today it is investi- gating reports that a former army sergeant is leading company of northwest frontier tribal raiders against the Indian and Kashmir state army forces in southern Kashmir.
 Accounts published in New Del hi and London said the man iden- tified himself as Russell Haight of Denver, Colo, and that he wore cowboy garb. He was said to have left road building job in Afghan istan to join the invaders of Rash mir at Rawalpindi in Pakisstan.
 The reports said the man de- clared he had joined the Canadian army when the war started, that he took part in the Dieppe raid in France and that he planned to teach the tribal raiders commando tactics he learned in England dur ing the war.
 The raiders have been elected from parts of Kashmir, but still are attacking in the rugged, moun- tainous southern area.
 The embassy could revoke Knights passport, possibly caus- ing Pakistan to deport him or re- quest him ot leave.
 A British correspondent who in- terviewed the man in Rawalpindi said he wore large hat, high yell low boots, a combat jacket and three and a half rows of campaign ribbons. The Briton said the man was cutting quite a figure" in Rawalpindi, army headquarters for Pakistan.

Moscow Insists
 Foreign Ministers Decide Jap Treaty

MOSCOW, tP) - The Soviet Union stood firm today on its oft repeated position that ground work for the Japanese peace treaty must be laid by the council of foreign ministers, where the veto may be exercised.
 The Russian foreign ministry, Tass reported, rejected a Chinese suggestion that the treaty be con- sidered by the Far Eastern com mission, with unanimous vote of the big four-in this case, Bri- tain, China, Russia and the United States-required for any decision.
 The Russians expressed agree ment with the Chinese concept of unanimity of the big four tthe right to exercise the veto but said the Japanese peace settlement should be undertaken first by the foreign ministers of Britain, China, Russia and the United States, and proposed that they meet in China next January for that purpose.
 Copies of the Soviet note, by foreign minister V. M. Molotov, were sent to the United States and Britain. Thus, presumably, the United States will be required once more to state its position on the Japanese treaty. Up to now the United States has been against any use of the veto in Japanese peace conference.
 Molotov's- note was in response to one from Chinese foreign min- ister Dr. Wang Shih-Chieh, deliv- cred Nov. IT.

Taft And Dewey May Fight It Out For Nomination

WASHI NGTON, (4) - Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York and Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio may collide head on in the April l3 Illinois primary in their contest for the 1948 Republican Presidential nomination.
 While neither has given any in- dication of his plans, friends of Taft said today he is almost cer- tain to enter the Illinois lists if Dewey decides to try openly for the states 56 convention dele gates.
 Taft is an announced candidate, but Dewey hasn't said publicly that he is running again for the nomination he won in 1944.
 Politicians generally have look ed on the Illinois Republican sit uation as unsettled because of re- ported opposition within party ranks there to Gov. Dwight Green as a "favorite son" candidate. Under Illinois law, the name of any candidate may be entered in a preferential primary with or without his consent. The results are merely advisory" to the states delegatian but prestige is involved.
 Dewey's friends have given mo- tice that his name will be entered in the March 9 New Hampshire primary, where former Gov. liar old E. Stassen of Minnesota, an announced candidate, already has pitched lis hat.

pcs Crashes Near
 Yakutat; All Killed

JUNEAU, (P)-The cause of a tWin-engine air transports crack up and death of its 13 occupants remained unknown today, but an airman who followed the ill-fated ship into Yakutat two hours later expressed belief it resulted from some emergency other than wea- ther.
 Weather conditions required a standard instrument approach to Yakutat, but there were no severe atmospheric conditions and we made a smooth landing" said Elm melt Flood, Benton, Wash, co-pi- lot of a Northern Airlines plane.
 The DC-3 transport crashed early yesterday as it approached the Yakutat village airport for a scheduled landing. All of the 13 persons aboard - II passengers and two crewmen-perished in the wreckage which was reported about two-thirds burned"
 The plane was operated by the Columbia Air Cargo company of Portland, one of several firms op- erating in Alaska and between Alaska and the States on a non- schedule basis. Two wartime pi- lots were at the controls: Jay B. Jr., 26; and co-pilot T. A. Keranen, 27, both of Portland.
 Flood, who accompanied a ground party to the crash scene, said one wing had been torn from the transport, apparently when it hit a tree. Wreckage was strewn over a 100-yard area.
 Yakutat is about 200 miles northwest of Juneau and about $50 miles east of Anchorage, from which it had departed. The plane was headed back to Seattle and Portland after picking up seven passengers at Fairbanks and four at Anchorage.

Army Convinced LOlOs Hold No
 Airmen Captive

RANKING, (P A l5-months' search during which American of- ficers lived with primitive Lolo tribesmen in the mud huts of wild west China has "proved conclu- sively" no American airmen are captives there, the army announc- ed Saturday.
 An army graves registration spokesman said the long search ended after special teams com- pleted the tracing of every report and rumor. More than a year ago, one American officer returned from remote tribal village to re- port i've feel there are five Amer jeans in the Lolo country" but Maj. Ava Smith, commanding a search team, said:
 Our work positively establish ed that no Americans are held captive"
 Major Smith, of Savannah, Ga, Capt. Edward McAllister, Ale ghany, Va, and Sgt. John Fox, Tacoma, Wash, lived with the lit tle-known Lolos of the wildly rugged China-Tibet border region during the search.
 McAllister and Fox disguised themselves as priests to gain the confidence of the mountain tribes men. They found slavery a gen. eral practice, with Chinese seized in raids on lowland villages held to work while their masters fought with neighboring tribes.
 The two followed down one re- port of a diagnosed" American captive to find instead that one Lolo tribe was holding a North China native whose size and fa- cial characteristics led to reports he was an American airman.
 Another report led to a former Chinese soldier who had gained a reputation as a pilot because he once had ridden in an airplane."
 McAllister told the news con- ference at which the results of the search were disclosed that the
  Lolos, instead of being wild, semi savage people as described in ear Her reports, were kind and coop erative' once their trust was ob- tained.
