Colombia Upsets Partitioning Of Palestine Plan

NEW YORK, (P) - The bitter fight over the "Soviet-American" plan to partition Palestine was split wide open Saturday as re- suit of Colombia's surprise move of Friday to defer final United Ma tions action until next spring.
 As the United Nations assembly was called back into session after 24-hour recess, Colombian dele gate Dr. Alfonso Lopez was re- ported to have lined up strong support, including the Arab-led anti-partitionists, for his plan of deferrment.
 The Arab countries met secretly last night and were slated to meet again before the assembly con- vened this afternoon. One inform ed source said the Arabs had de- cided not to take "too stiff" an at- titude in the problem but they had not yet decided whether to offer a proposal on their own account.
 This was taken as evidence of an apparent move by the Arabs to be more open to conciliation. Heretofore they have been ada mant against any proposal except their demand for a single inde- pendent Arabic nation in the Holy Land.
 The Colombian proposal for de- lay was laid before the assembly late Friday at Flushing Meadow Park when most delegates thought they were finally at the point of voting on the partition plan. As sembly president Oswaldo Aranha

Paris Communist Strikers Defy Government

PARIS, (P)-Strikes halted the Paris subway today and leaders of the Communist-dominated general confederation of labor defied the governments anti-strike legisla- ton. Leaders summoned all work CTS ito action," asserting they would refuse to negotiate further toward ending nationwide walk outs if the legislation was enacted in the national assembly. Subways halted shortly after noon, when electric power was shut off by strikers. Gas pressure was reported at danger levels" in the capital and service was report ed stopped at Nice, Marseille and Cannes.
 The assembly, which last night approved a call of 80,000 men to the colors to combat the creeping paralysis induced by the strikes, became a well of tumult that it suspended for two hours its con- sideration of the strike law. Nei- ther the chairman nor speakers could be heard.
 With thousands stranded by the subway shutdown, Paris was plagued also by a strike at all six gas companies serving the sub urbs. The concern furnishing gas to Paris proper continued service, although the pressure was report ed only half normal.
 Police and motorized armed forces opened roads in northern France to struck coal mines, but few miners appeared to be return ing to work. Fights erupted at Lievin where TOO miners tried, ap- parently without success, to return to work.

Survivor Tells Story of Shipwreck Near Ketchikan

KETCHIKAN, (P) - Breakers fully 20 feet high swept over the deck where the life-jacketed crew of the Clarksdale Victory assem- bled, clinging to whatever they could, and the hurtling water pulled men loose one by one, Henry M. Wolfe, second mate, said Friday.
 Recovering comfortably in the Coast Guard infirmary, Wolfe, one of four survivors of 53 men on the army transport after it grounded last Monday night on Hippa Is land, recalled the ships last min utes. He and three other men were washed ashore. His home is Oak land, Calf.
 He went off watch at pm, he said, and was lying in his bunk reading when he felt the ship hit by breakers on one side and big SWellS on the other.
 He rushed to the bridge where third officer William M. Rasmus- sen, Modesto, Calif., had already called Capt. Gerald R. Laugesen, Oakland, Calf. Rasmussen was also saved but Captain Laugesen lost.
 The engines were ordered re- versed and the ships course changed, but as Wolfe began talk ing soundings, he said, he felt the ship strike, and soon saw fuel oil

Delegations To Meet With Krug

WASHINGTON, (P) - Repre- sentatives of 35 conservation groups will give secretary of the interior Krug and his aides their views this week of major contro- versial questions, including the proposals to dispose of large tracts of Alaskan forest and agricultur- al land to war veterans.
 Krug, in inviting the groups to send delegates to the conference to- day and Tuesday, pointed out that the interior department chiefs, in travels throughout the west and in the territories in recent months, have obtained the views of many individuals and industries.
 At this meeting, he explained, he wants to get the other side of the picture-the viewpoint of those who are opposed to use of resources for individual or com mercial ends.
 Other subjects on the program include:
 Indian hunting, fishing and grazing rights.
 Waterfowl hunting regulations.

Congress Wants To Know Of "BrOad
 POWers'' Desired

WASHINGTON, (R) - Senate Republicans demanded Saturday that the Truman administration "get specific" about the anti-in- flation powers it wants from Con- gresS.
 Senator Taft R.-Ohio), chair man of the Senate-House econo- mic committee, told a reporter he is opposed to writing any blank check legislation setting up power, for example, to earmark scarce materials for essential uses.
 But the Ohioan said he might be willing to have possibly 10 per cent of the steel production set aside for priority requirements, such as box cars.
 Tafe expressed the opinion that the administration would stretch any general authority to allocate to cover more ground than Con- gress intended-and would do so "very promptly"
 Senator Watkins R.-Utah, a member of the joint committee, said it is time for the administra- ton to "get specific" about plans to carry out President Truman's 10-point cost of living program.
 "The government officials who have testified before our commit tee seem to have only a general idea of what they want and they have talked only in terms of broad powers" Watkins remarked.

Schuman Asks Power To Crack Down On Agitators

PAhlS, tH) - fTeInler ftODerl Schuman asked the national as sembly Saturday for power to crack down on agitators for strikes or sabotage "by speeches, writing or tracts"
 He said he wanted this right for six months as he pleaded for power to help him fight strang- ling wave of communistinspired strikes throughout France
 The asSembly's committee on civil and criminal law immediate ly approved the government bills, 26 to l3, and sent them to the as- sembly. Approval would give the government weapon against spar CTS encouraging the strikes, which have made more than 2,OOO,OOO French workers idle.
 Government employees found guilty of agitation" would be dis missed under the measures. Key industries, including ele c tr c power, railroads, and wire com municationS, are nationalized and their employees work for the gov ernment.
 The powers asked by Schuman would run from yesterday until May 31, 1948.
 The proposed law provides six months to five years imprison- ment and fine of 1000 to 5OO,OOO francs ($8 to $4,OOO for those who use violence to bring about a cessation of work"
 Schuman demanded complete revision" of the laws of saobtage. He took cognizance of Fridays re- port that sabotage was on the in- erase.
 As Schuman spoke, more than a third of the nations 6,O0O,OOO or ganized workers were on strike and government forces were eject ing strikers from rail centers and other strongholds they had seized.
 Schuman also asked the assem- bly, to organize part of the French security forces and to pass a new law giving added protection to non-strikerS. .....p

Seven Dead In Alaska Airlines At Seattle Airport

four-engined A a six a Airlines transport plane which crashed and burned at the Seattle-Tacoma air port blamed the crash today on failure of the hydraulic brakes to "take the slightest hold" Seven persons died and three others were critically injured as result of the accident late yesterday.
 The pilot, Capt. James E. Fer ris, 37, of Seattle, told the Seattle Times that the DC-4 plane landed at a speed of approximately 100 miles an hour," rolled like it was on bed of ball bearings" until it leaped a 60foot embankment at the end of the airport runway. It crashed into an automobile on the highway below, killing a blind woman in the car. The plane was flying from Anchorage, to Seattle.
 It had 2S persons aboard, 5 passengers and a crew of three. ! Three passengers were reported in critical condition at the New Benton hospital and two were list ed as unsatisfactory at Harbor- view county hospital
 The others had been released after treatment or were recovering from minor burns and bruises in the hospital.
 Twenty-six of the 28 aboard the big plane scrambled from door and emergency exits or were pull ed from the flames by rescuers. All, however, were scared by the gasoline-fed flames that flashed through the fuselage. Four of the rescued died later.
 The latest casualty was the planes steWardesS, Miss Reba Monk of Santa Monica, Calf. who was credited by survivors with having led many of the passengers to safety.
 The other dead are: Fred Smith, Tacoma; Leslie Howe, Seattle; Ole Ring, Anchorage; Mrs. Virginia Stitsworth, Tacoma; Gordon John son, 21-month-old son of Mir. and Mrs. J. E. Johnson, Palmer; Mrs. Pearl Stella Jones, Seattle, blind woman trapped in the car which the big transport smashed as it careened off the field onto the in tersection of the Des Moines, Wash, highway and 158th Street.
 Ten others of the planes pas sengers and crew members were in critical condition at Seattle and Benton hospitals. Several were not expected to live.
 Bodies of two of the dead were not recovered until nearly four hours after the crash because of the intense heat emitting from the WIeCKdSe.
 The plane, A DC-4, crashed only a few minutes after it had been turned back from an attempted landing at Seattle's Boeing field by fog. Two airport employees in the control tower at the Seattle Tacoma field said the ceiling ra- dioed to Pilot James Evan Farris, Seattle, as the plane settled through the overcast was "6OO feet with one and one-quarter miles visibility"

Trouble
By Lila Lennon

linda WARE slowed her little
IL coupe and pulled off to the side.
That suspicious swaying felt like
tire going soft. And, if it was. :. she
was going to use some unladyllke
words. There simply wasn't time to
change a tire. She was already late
late for the homecoming party
in her own honor!
One look verified her suspicious.
The tire was very, very fiat. She
gave it a little kick and stood glar-
ing. She knew that before she was
through, she would be good and hot,
and dirty.
A long sleek car came zoomng
up, slowed and stopped. The young
man behind the wheel spoke, 'Hav-
ing trouble?"
Linda looked at him. He was very
good looking, she decided. And he
was also nicely dressed in natty
sports jacket and f1annels. Those
flannels weren't going to look so
good, either, after a tire change.
"Pm afraid it's rather dirty" she
said meekly.
"Of course it's dirty. When is
changing a tire a clean job?"
Really, if he was going to be rude.
she thought Indignantly.
The young man was busy with the
trunk. He rolled the tire out and
found the jack. He was still scowl-
ing. Linda spoke quickly, "Please
don't bother, I'll change it,
He proceeded to loosen the wheel,
looked up. your" he asked, un-
believingly.
Evaporation filed Linda. Ger
tainlyl I do know how to change a
tire!" The young man grunted.

Let's think of 1000, 900 cat
tie and 350,000 head of sheep.
Just imagine pastures so lush
that each section of land cares
for 40 head of cattle. Picture
a state where farms average
112 acres each. No, it's not
some western state. It's New
York!
After all, Manhattan island is a
small part of the area of New York,
which is 49,576 square miles Of
farms, orchards, mountains, val
leys, streams, lakes, forests and 9TH
er rural, beautiful and natural
things. Times square, Greenwich
village, Fifth avenue and Wall
street are rivaled by Niagara falls,
the Adirondacks, the Catskills, Lake
Placid and Mount Marcy. The SUBJ
ways are no match for ski runs
and toboggan slides. It's long step
from the Bowery to country lanes
and old farmsteads.
Champlain Came First.
New York has so many firsts they
can't be counted. Samuel de Cham
plain was the first white man to set
his foot in New York as well as the
first to teach religion to the Iro-
quois. Within a year Hendrix Hud-
son anchored his little ship off Coney
island, finally sailing up the river
which bears his name to the present
site Of Albany.
Two years later some Amster-
dam merchants were given
trading charter for New Meth
erland, as New York was to be
known. The first post was set
up in 1913 on Manhattan; the
second in 1914 at Fort Nassau on
Castle island, south of the pres
ent Albany. Ten years later all
Manhattan island was pur-
chased from the Indians for $23
worth of trinkets.
Forty years later, in 1864, a Brit
ish fleet demanded surrender of
New Amsterdam, and Director Gen
eral Peter Stuyvesant found himself
with little support. He capitulated,
and the duke of York was granted
the conquered land. New York;
became the new - and lasting -
name.
AS years passed, more and more
people fiocked to the New World,
many Of them finding the rich lands
of New York state to their liking.
Hamlets, villages and cities sprang
up, knit together with a network of
aboriginal trails that eventually be-
came roads and highways. Albany's
geographic position, at the cross
roads of the state, made it a key
frontier settlement in the 18th CEN
tury.

Still, there are 153,238 farms in
New York state, the appraised val
lie of which is more than billion dol
lars. The average growing season
is often as high as 210 days, par
ticularly in the Long island section.
New York's own fruits and vegeta-
bles supply the states large cam
ming industries. Wines, champagnes,
oysters, seafoods, poultry, eggs and
other products go to nearby mar
kets. The last prewar year placed
total value of more than 300 mil
lion dollars on New York's agricul-
tural products, with milk the largest
farm revenue producer.
Today the port of New York City
is the nations foremost center of
foreign trade, and yet its people
like to recall that it was there that
p George Washington was sworn in as
first president Of the United States.
Buffalo is the nations largest fresh
water port, yet when white men first
came they found a Eastwood forest
and Erie Indians fishing and hunt
ing along the creeks and lake. And
there are Binghamton, Rochester,
Syracuse, Utica, Yonkers and others
all playing an important part in
commerce and trade today.
Those who live in New York
anywhere in the state-have
Fairgrounds close at hand.
There are mountains, seashOres,
lakes, rivers, waterfalls, farm
lands and more than 70 state
parks. Niagara falls, the Thou
sand islands, Ausable chasm,
the Palisades, Howes caverns,
Lake George and many others
are points of interest for natives
and visitors alike.
Lake Placid Is internationally
known as a summer and winter
resort, with toboggan, slides, ski
runs, skating rinks, stables for ski
joring horses and kennels for sled
dogs. There are literally hundreds
of other places in the state for win
ter sports. Saranac lake is famed
as health resort as well as win
ter and summer sports center.

Polnsettia Holds Beauty

The Christmas poinsettia will hold
it's beauty longer if it is kept where
the temperature is about 60 to IS de-

Colder Nearer Sun

The nearer we get to the sun,
the colder it gets. We cannot as yet
appreciably change the great dis
tance between ourselves and the
sun. But we can go up into
the air so far that the atmosphere
is thinner-and since the air helps
transform the rays of the sun into
heat, it gets colder as we leave

young mans remark.
Then, as if he hadn't heard at all,
he said. That's the trouble with
women drivers, they know just two
things about car; how to start it
and how to stop it,
Linda thought OF a thousand re-
marks to make, but she contented
herself with observing coldly,
''Please remember that I did not
ask for your assistance, and I do
know how to change tire!"
He shivered and turned up his
coat collar. "It's chilly, isn't it?'

"How do you do" Linda said

Bud grinned. ''You two ought to
