Cause of Yakutat Crash Remains Undetermined

PORTLAND, (P)-The cause of the Yakutat, Alaska, air crash, fa- tai to 13 on Thanksgiving day, re mained undetermined at the con- clusion of a preliminary hearing conducted by three civil aeronau- tics board examiners Saturday.
 An additional hearing was scheduled, probably at Anchorage in January to determine more on weather conditions and to record any evidence discovered by engi- neers who now are examining the wreckage of the Columbia Air Cargo DC-3.
 Eight witnesses testified here, mostly on qualifications and abil- ity of the two pilots. Both were described as capable, trustworthy fliers.
 Of testimony here on weather conditions, it was brought out the ceiling was indefinite but around 500 feet with three miles visibility and light drizzle.
 There was some question as to whether the plane was following the normal range course for the landing at Yakutat or was making straight-in approach.
 Richard J. Werlich, another Go. lumbia Air Cargo pilot, said he had never made a straight-in run on instruments, but said such a let-down should be safe since il could be made over water all the way.
 The DC-3 crashed mile beyond what witnesses said was one leg of the radio range it was presumed to be following.

Union Leader Sentenced

NEW ORLEANS, (P)-Federal Judge Ben C. Hawkins Friday sen fenced Leo B. Carter, representa- tive of the international teamsters union AFD, to one year in the federal penitentiary and to pay a fine of S5,000 for violation of the anti-racketeering act during a milk strike last spring.
 Of 59 men, most of them diary farmers of the Amite, La, area, who pleaded guilty to the same charge earlier this week, only six drew suspended sentences.
 Other sentences ranged from prison terms of four months to a year.
 The strike was staged in protest of prices paid for milk by New Orleans distributors. Milk trains and trucks carrying milk to New Orleans were halted by armed strikers and the cargo was seized and poured out.

Rome Workers
 Give Ultinatum To Government

Continued From Page One q general strike and labor turmoil in Rome.
 The demands came from the newly organized workers high command for the capital and Rome province, the existence of which was announced in Satur- days leftist press along with its demands.
 The organizations name was given as the Provisional Commit tee of Congress of Management and of internal commissions" The press announced that it would "di- rect the battle of Roman labor"
 The newborn committees first act was to publish a bitter com munique denouncing police action in the Slum suburb of Primavalle Friday, when a worker was killed in street fighting with police.
 One workman died Friday of a gun shot wound, several other demonstrators were injured, 10 police were hurt, one lieutenant seriously.
 These developments for the first time brought home to Rome on a large scale the communist-inspired strikes and violence which have harassed the government since Toy. 12 when labor trouble started in the big northern industrial cen f of Milan.

"Ike'' Possible Candidate For Nomination

Continued from Page One) publicly announced entrants: Sen ator Robert A. Taft of Ohio, for mer Gov. Harold E. Stassen of Minnesota and Gov. Earl Warren of California.
 Previously talk about Eisen- hover as a potential candidate has been described as mostly just talk.
 But an eastern Republican Sen ator, who declined use of his name, told reporter the back stage hunt for Eisenhower dele gates is actually underway. As evil dence of this, he said Republican organization leaders in his state have been sounded out by persons who said they represent the Eisen- hover movement, if not the gen. eral himself.
 Some who attended an informal meeting of Pennsylvania Republi- can leaders here last week at which Ensenohwer was present said they came away with the mo- tion that the general was talking whole lot like a candidate"
 Eisenhower is reported to have said that the country needs "new leadership to unite the people be- hind the battle against rising liv- ing costs and in support of the American position abroad.
 Taft, also present, is said to have responded that it is all very well to generalize on issues but some thing quite different to meet them headon in Congress.

Arabs Plan Course To Oppose Pales- tine PartitiOning
CBy The Associated Press)

Arab Leaders converged on Cairo today to decide how they will oppose the partition of Pales- tine, already stained with the blood of 88 persons killed in nine days of communal rioting over the United Nations decision. At least 2l6 had been killed in the Middle East.
 The fiery battle of Tel Aviv was renewed during the morning and five more Jews were killed. Seven Arabs and Jew were killed in other actions during the night.
 Bloodier even than Palestine was the little Arabian Sea colony of Alden where British military forces controlled the situation af- ter 124 persons had been killed, 79 of them Jews. Four other persons died earlier in Syria.
 The British informed the United Nations they would abandon their mandate over Palestine May IS, making way for the Jewish state and its Arab counterpart. Great Britain has controlled the strate- gically placed land since the old Turkish empire crumbled in the first world war 30 years ago There are nearly twice as many Arabs as Jews in Palestine, but the British have restricted immi- grafton.
 When the swords speak, every thing else must be silent" said the exiled multi of Palestine, Haj Amin Fl Husseini. He made this comment at Cairo where he met with Arab leaders from Saud Arabia, Trans-Jordan, Iraq, Leb- anon, Syria, Egypt and Yemen. Premier Riad Essolh Bey ot Lebanon said the Arab Leagues work would be decisive and inn mediate" adding:
 ''The Lebanese army now on the Palestine borders will play its part with other Arab armies in saving Palestine when the proper time comes.'

Student Dances Too Continue

Teen-age dances at the Palm CT school have proved so popu- lar, that it is now planned to continue them each Saturday night throughout the entire year, Principal James Pray, Jr., said this week.
 Dances are sponsored by the student council, which assigns various school clubs and activ- ities to responsibility on cer- tain night. Students manage all details of the dance and are completely responsible for it's control. Two faculty members chaperone each dance, however.
 The school cafeteria has been filled with a capacity crowd of students each dance night this term.

Newest sports activity in Palmer high school this year is skiing. The rugged outdoor set among the students has organ ized a club, fixed dues and writ ten a constitution, and now have nothing to do but wait for snow.
 The club has II charter mem- bers. It first came into existence early in October, when Bob Graham called ski enthusiasts to- gether to explain the purpose of a club.

Hurricane Aftermath

The department, by their lack of action,
gave the impression that it made no differ

was Inconvenience or not, nor did they
seem to worry about the Coasts tourist bus
mess which became virtually non-eXiStent
during the period.
Both the highway department and the rail-
road might have averted a major portion of
the delay and saved money in the long run
by having replaced their %antiquated bridges
with modern concrete spans, Little damage
was lone to the Biloxi-Ocean Springs bridge,
built about 20 years ago.
Sad as it is, these hurricanes occur every
20 years or SO and 1t seems that the state and
the railroad would save money and better
perform their obligation to the public by
constructing bridges that would stand up
under heavy punishment,
The state, in particular, has a thirty mil
lion dollar surplus in the treasury and has
had a substantial sum ON hand each year dur
ing the last decade. Some of hat money
might well be spent, it seems To us, ON build
ing suitable bridges and completing the four
lane construction on u. S, Highway 90,
The highway is the heaviest travelled of
any in the state, brings Mississippi great
revenues through sales and other excise
taxes paid by tourists, and is one of the few
highways in the state travelled by a large
number of people from other states, From a
promotion and public relations angle, the
super highway would be invaluable,
Garhled press reports of the extent of dis
aSter caused by the hurricane and the poor
performance of the Highway Department has
dealt this section of the state a heavy blow,
1t viii take MS years to recover and we hope
some preventative measures in the form of
stronger bridges viii become a reality before
the next big blow.

Normal transportation schedules are to be

and truck traffic were resumed over the

between Mobile and New Orleans. with the
exception of the Streamliner, Humminghird,
and mail schedules and normal commercial
traffic will be resumed during the weekend.
StatiStieianS can now begin TO calculate
the cumulative hurricane damage to our sec
