RESCUE OF
 VICTIMS IS
 TOLD NOW
Plane Crashed Suddenly as "Ground Rushed Up"-
 Men Are Frost Bitten

NOME. Alaska, Dec. 3l.-tR-One of the rescue party who saved SIX of the eight crewmen aboard the crashed BPS "Clobbered Turkey" told how the stranded men, with hope of survival about gone after six days and nights in the freez- ing Arctic, greeted them:
 Where did you guys come from?'
 Bud Richter, a photographer, was one of the volunteers who flew on the rescue mission by Pilots Frank H. Whaley and Bill Munz, and one who remained at the crash scene in far-below zero weather while the survivors were flown to Nome.
 The B-29 crashed Dec. 23, while on a long-range weather flight.
 Richter said of the rescue:
 Bill (Munz) circled the wreck once and landed near the top of the hill. The wind was bowling and the thermometer showed 40 be- low.
 "3ill said the wind was blowing 35 miles an hour We quickly cov- cred the planes motor. I looked at Munz and Kennedy Or. Max well Kennedy) Their faces had frozen almost instantly in the terrible cold and crusts of ice were hanging to their eyelids, lips and nose
 We went down to the wreck. There were six men, one with a broker leg.
 Bitten Faces
 Their faces and clothes were blackened with soot and unmls- takable signs of frostbite covered their faces. The man with a brok- en leg had crude splint tied on and had received nothing to relieve his pain.
 Where did you guys come from?' they shouted. They hadn't even heard us land in the bowling wind.
 T talked to the co-pilot Ut. Don aid B. Duesler) who said they had been to the North Pole on weather hop and then turned south towards Nome. They evil dently thought they were still over the sea ice before they crashed. | They said they hadn't been able
 to see a thing for the mists and {; blowing snow
 Their altimeber showed l,5Oo feet. The pilot tLt. Vern H. Ar ! nett) was flying the plane and ! suddenly the co-pilot saw the ! ground rushing up. He yelled Here comes the , ground!' He grabbed the con trols and pulled the nose up sharp 1 ly. The tail struck the ground ! and broke off and then the nose ; dug in and the ship turned a /; somersault on it's back. 1 "All the men got out and there was no serious fire at first, but 1 the men were unable to extinguish
 small blaze in the high wind. It I quickly spread and the gas tanks exploded, blowing the motors and 1, wreckage down the mountain side ] and burning a black swath through ] the snow.
 Huddle Behind Wreckage "The flames subsided and the men huddled behind the wreck age to get scant protection from the biting winds. Their clothing was inadequate ! and all emergency equipment was {, burned
 Days and nights of penetrating cold passed with hopes of rescue dwindling."

Simpson Pledges Aid
In Breaking Deadlock
On Insurance Bills

Efforts to break a deadlock over
competing bills on regulation of
casualty insurance here were PROM
ised today by a spokesman for the
House District Committee.
Chairman Simpson Of the Utih-
ties Subcommittee of the District
legislative group said he would try
again to get an agreement on legis-
lation to bring the District into
compliance with the Supreme Court
ruling in the Southeastern Under
writer's case.
In the Southeastern case. the
high court held that insurance was
part of commerce and therefore
subject to regulation and the anti
trust laws. As sequel to that,
Congress enacted a measure pro-
viding a moratorium until next
January to permit the States and
the District to obtain necessary
legislation.
Some States have Acted.
Some States have acted and
others are reported awaiting q de-
cision by Congress for the District
in the hope it will be a model for
the States. Mr.. Simpson. Repub-
hcan, of Illinois has declared his
subcommittee has no interest in
adopting model" legislation and

The Great Game Politics
COP. Leaders Look Upon Their Work
And Find It Good, Writer Comments

Of the late Mr.. Willkie in 1914, but
hardly the possibility OF one.
In brief, unless something quite
unforeseen occurs, all elements Of
the Republicans appear to be to-
gether. At any rate, such is the
contention. In addition, regardless
of who the nominee may be, the
support of many conservative Demo-
Gratis is claimed.
These, 1t Is said, are convinced
that the only way to achieve econ
omy and a stable fiscal structure is
through the Republicans. They
have been discouraged at the Demo-
cratic resistance toward reducing
the Federal bureaucracy and at the
Democratic tendency to placate the
left wingers and labor bosses at the
expense OF principle.
Record Not Without Flaws.
There Is the further Republican
claim that, despite forecasts OF lib
eral" Interpreters, they have
neither taken the country back to
the Harding days" nor reverted to
isolationism. In the matter OF for
eign policy they have conscientious
ly supported Mr.. Truman and Sec
retary of State Marshall-nor, they
say, will the Republican platform
finch or weaken on this question.
Though far from perfect. altogether
it is q pretty good case the Republi-
cans make out for themselves.
It Is true the record Is somewhat
marred by the unenlightened op-
position to Lilienthal, the passage
OF an act raising the tariff on wool
and by the general attitude toward
the reciprocal trade treaties, to re-
treat from which now would make
us out precious hypocrites as well as
awful fools.
In addition, the Republican per-
formance has been besmirched by
some exhibitions Of small PARTISAN
ship-for example refusal to con-
firm first-class presidential nomi-
nees for important posts and the
800 unconflrmed Truman postmas-
ters. There are one or two other
items that should be set down on
the debt side too.
Nevertheless, considering the slen-
der nature of their Senate ma
jority and the welter OF predic-
tions concerning their "lack of
discipline" and divided leadership"
the Republicans have done a lot bet
ter than most observers believe pos
sible. One does not have to wait
until the end Of the session or for
settlement of the veto question to
realize that.

tine side little has been done to
meet American demands for COM
plete extirpation of Nazi influence
in that country beyond what had
been done a year ago. However,
on the American side the leading
influence in the fight against the
regime of Juan Domingo Peron,
Argentinas military president, has
been removed in the resignation OF
Spruille Braden as Assistant Secre-
tary of State.
President Truman. in conyersa-
tions with the Argentine Ambassa-
dor, has laid the groundwork for a
final settlement with the Peron
regime and the calling of an inter-
American conference to conclude a
hemisphere defense agreement, a
thing which was not possible as long
as the United States held its strong
antipathy to the present govern
ment in Buenos Aires.
Reversal Almost Complete.
There is evident an almost COM
plete reversal of American policy
toward Argentina, under the inf1u-
ence of George Messersmith, the
American Ambassador to Buenos
Aires, who comes out of the fight
on policy toward Argentina with a
signal victory. But behind this
dramatic alteration of attitude
which is all the more remarkable
because 1t is case of the world s

would concern only the Districts
interests.
Discussion of the issue was re-
vived yesterday when Representa-
tive Ploeser, Republican, of Mis-
souri, announced he had the ap-
proval Of the authors of most of
the competing bills to a compro-
mise measure he had drafted. He
said this was supported by Rep
resentatives Scott of PENNSYLVANIA
and Poulson of California, both
Republicans.
Mr.. Ploeser, chairman of the
House Small Business COMMITTEES
and the head of a st. Louis insur-
ance firm, explained 1t was different
in major respects from the '4all-
industry" bill sponsored by some
Of the leading insurance groups.
Compromise Doubted.
There were strong indications the
compromise bill would not prove
satisfactory to the District govern
rnent.
District officials have warned con-
siderable confusion probably will
result If Congress at this session
fails to legislate on District control
over casualty insurance, which in
cludes automobile liability, work
mems compensation, inland marine
and bond insurance. Life and fire
insurance is not involved.

This Changing World
u S. Argentine Reversal Held Notable
For Big Nations Bow to Smaller

to conciliate smaller neighbor-
lies very practical and down-to-
earth reason.
This reason is the absolute neces-
sity-as envisaged by Secretary of
State Marshall-of consolidating the
defense Of the Western Hemisphere
from top to bottom. We cannot
afford to let a single block In the
tediflce slip away. We must have a
firm, consolidated hemisphere in
support of a firm, consolidated
United States policy toward devel-
opments in the rest of the world.
The clouds, unfortunately, are not
disappearing in many parts of the
world. Rather are they becoming
darker and more ominous. 1t is an
hour when those who have common
interests-political and economic
must stand together against forces
which are inimical to them. And
in the growing division of the world
between communism and anti-com-
munism the whole Western world
has interests which are not and can
not be shared by those who link
themselves to the Kremlin's theology.
Essential to Future Plans.
It is in this light, then, that the
triumph of conctlation in American
foreign policy must be viewed. Ar
gentina is essential to plans for the
future If the inter- American ranks
are to be closed to work the will of
| freedom and democracy in world af-
fairs. Argentina can share now in
the United States program of arm
ing the Latin American nations and
standardfzing their armament and
training.
Mr.. Messersmith,s constant insist
ence has been that Argentina, If
permitted to do so, can and will
become strong friend of the United
States and hearty supporter of
close and tight bonds among the
nations of this hemisphere. He has
insisted, furthermore, that although
we may not like President Peron's
brand Of government. it is a govern
ment which is to the liking of the
Argentine people and we must ac-
cept it.
The opportunity exists, now, to
prove the wisdom of this position,
which is taken by those who are
more interested in the practical
factors Of our future defense than
in the phony brand of liberalism
| which lets outmoded slogans and
! fetishes distort national policy.

corning next years campaign Is
pretty high, 1t seems worth while
to present their point of view.
In the first place they contend
their program Of reducing govern
mental size and costs, lowering tax
rates and curtailing the abuses of
labor union bosses Is In accord with
the desire Of the great bulk OF vot-
ers in all sections. For 13 years
we have been going in the exactly
opposite. direction on all three
counts. The Republicans promised,
If given power. to reverse this trend.
And they have kept their promise.
Resisted by Administration.
That they have not gone further,
1t Is said, clearly is not their fault;
it is the fault of the Democratic
administration, which determin-
edly resisted all down the line. This
resistance made 1t impossible to
cut more deeply the Governments
size and costs, to give a more gen.
erous tax reduction and produce q
more effective labor law,
Whether or not Mr.. Truman We
toes the labor and tax bills and
whether or not his vetoes are sus-
tanned, the line has been drawn
and the issue made. The Republi-
cans were for this program and the
Democrats were against 1t. The for
mer, it is held, will have the sound
as well as the popular side of that
issue in the campaign.
That is one thing that encour-
ages them. Another is the condi-
ton of their party following six
months Of congressional power
and responsibility. The claim is
that 1t is In an astonishing state of
unity. For example, among the
outstanding availables for the

attack home cooking and the ridicu-
lous praise which has been heaped
on it for centuries. I am OF the
opinion -and you can't change II
even If you send me pie cooked bJ
your Aunt Lucy that is so light il
floats around the room like some
thing out of the spirit world--I am
of the opinion that home cooking
is far inferior to restaurant cooking.
At Home You Can't Refuse.
This opinion is founded on the
thousands OF meals I have eaten In
my own home, the homes OF rela-
tives and friends, and the thousands
of meals I have consumed in restau--
rants, hotels, on trains, boats and
airplanes. For every disappointing
meal I have had while travelling.
have had a hundred that were pre-
pared by loving hands.
I believe that the chief reason
restaurant cooking is superior to
home cooking is that when dining
out one can refuse to accept dish
that obviously is failure. But try
refusing or sending back dishes at
home. Back in the days when knight
hood was in flower and men wore
armor to the table such thing
might have been safe but not today
when a wool suit Is mans only pro.
lection. How many times have !
wanted to say that the hollandaise
was curdled but held my tongue,
knowing that the best I would get
would be tears or an angry ofier to
cook it myself the next time. How
many times have I wanted a soufiie
only to be told that soufhes were
too difficult-that a cat tiptoeing
across the lawn or loud whisper
would send them crashing down to
their doom.
If wives and mothers are such
superb cooks, why Is it that none
of them has ever been engaged as
chef Cor chefess) by the celebrated
eating places Of this country? Why
isn't Mrs. Mary Lou Smith, wife Of
Joe r. Smith, and mother OF Billy
and Jane Smith, back Of the stove
at "2l" or Chambord in New York?
Or wearing the white cap at Cha
sens in New Orleans, or Omar
Khayam's in San Francisco, or An
tones in New Orleans, or the Pump
Room in Chicago? The pay is
awfully good, the hours pretty good,
and the authority, which take for
granted all women love, is almost
unlimited.
Eating out has another great ad-
vantage man can get what he
wants, prepared the way he wants
it. Too many people have too
much to say concerning the pre-
paration of food at home. Papa
wants it rare, mama wants 1t me-
dium, Auntie wants 1t cooked to q
FRAGILE. AS result, the steak comes
out looking like q patchwork quilt
and no one is satisfied.
Another thing-a restaurant never
asks a patron to help in the cook

the man Of the house was expected
to get in there and share in the
cooking. In fact, I live in one, and
for me to have to eat what I help to
cook is capital punishment with q
