In addition to the Army rescue

crew was landed near the wreck
age by an Army ski plane. A
helicopter was standing by at
Nome to takeoff if the winds
subside.
Pilots who sighted the wreck
age said three men ran toward
parachuted emergency and medi-

appeared to be tending either an
Arctic heater or a fifth person.
Phil NUM-, veteran bush pilot,
corroborated reports by Army
pilots that there were signs OF
life at the wreckage scene.
The pilots said the persons
sighted definitely were not Es-
kimos because they gave the
Army familiar Roger" sign, a
circled finger and thumb, when
the emergency provisions were
dropped.
The fog was expected to lift
early this afternoon, and Army
officials were hoping the rescue
operations could be completed
during the four hours of daylight.

'These complaints squarely
raised a critical issue which the
committee knows to exist in
other industries-that is, the in
tegration of production and dis
tribution under common
management" the report said.
Repeatedly Charged
"The unfair effect of such in
tegration, it has been repeatedly
charged, is to permit the profits
of manufacturing to subsidize
distribution to the detriment of
independent and non-integrated
distributors, or to make possible
excessive secret discounts by pro-
ducers to their retail outlets. )"
At closed hearings on the COM
plants both the. Justice Depart
ment and the Federal Trade
Commission promised full CO.
operation, the committee said.
'The committee is keeping in
close touch with both these agen-
cies to see if, under the existing
antitrust laws, they have suffi-
cient power to take effective ac-
ton, and whether they will take
such action" it added.

.of line, that a four-year com.
mltment from Congress is impos.
slble. But he does believe thai
some American aid to Europe i,
essential.
Vandenberg Committed
Vandenberg, to whom the ad
ministration must give heavy
credit in pushing it's foreign
policy program through Congress
is "emphatically' committed te
American efforts to help Eu.
rope help herself" But equally
"emphatically" he is not com.
mitted to a four-year program
to a $17,000,0OO,0oo expenditure
or even to President Truman's
request for $6,800,0OO,O0O as q
kickoff appropriation.
Republican quarters believe
there is no unbridgable gap be-
tween the viewpoints of Taft and
Vandenberg. The two have con-
suited, on at least one occasion,
regarding the Marshall plan and
there is reason to believe that
both mutually are anxious for
peace on the foreign aid issue.
The picture may come to a head
next week when Republican lead
ers meet in policy committee
session. Taft is chairman of the
committee, but Vandenberg's
words on foreign policy are close
ly needed in the leadership meet
ings.
There are two factors working
for peace between the two men.
Taft is an avowed candidate for
the COP Presidential nomina-
ton. His friends concede that it
would not be to his advantage,
either at convention time or as
a party campaigner if nominated,
to face q heated row on foreign
policy with a party faction led
by Vandenberg.
Peace Desirable
From the viewpoint of the Mi
chigan Senator, peace would be
highly desirable. Vandenberg
thus far has never backed a los
ing horse as foreign policy lead
er. But he has admitted private
ly deep concern at COP opposi.
ton to the Marshall Plan.
Just a few weeks ago 80 Sen.
ate Republicans banded together
in an attempt to make a deep GU
in the emergency winter relic
bill. While the drive was unsuc
cessful, it was regarded by Van
denberg as storm signal for tn
1ong-range program.
Overshadowing even these tw
factors is the realization, held b,
both men and their colleagues a
well, that split on foreign polio,
might divide the party into fac
tions that once again might b
tabled as "isolationist'' and sin
ternationalist."

Sneh said he resigned from the

Black Sea ports rather than sail
for Palestine. He complained
also that the agency was

bloc and neglecting the Eastern
countries. He said he would lead
