ACTS QUICKLY

To stamp out the infection the
Mexican government has formed a
commission headed by President
Miguel Aleman and one of the first
things they did was to divide the
the country into three zones:
1. The infected zone.
2. Protection zone (close to in

disease yet.
3. Clean zone, including the states
of Sonora and Chihuahua, where
Mexican authorities claim there is
no hoof and mouth disease.

NOME, Alaska, Dec. 29-W,P)-
Six half-frozen survivors of a
B-29 crash in the desolate Arc

night by daring Alaskan bush
pilots, and two other crewmen
who left the bomber on foot for
aid were being sought near the

slopes of an uncharted mountain
100 miles north of Nome where
the big Superfortress crashed

All six rescued survivors were
suffering from exposure after
seven days in sub-zero weather
and a bowling blizzard.
Both bush pilots took off i'm
mediately into the Arctic twi-
light to hunt for the remaining
two crew members of the plane,
who were believed to have left
the wreckage in a search for
assistance.
NUM- told Col. H. N. Burk-

CONFEDERATE HEROINE
In an old volume, dealing with

The story begins with the
marriage of a young Rhode Is

''just past his majority, who
brought her to his home in Nor
folk, a typical ancestral home
stead, where, beside the white
folk there was quite a colony
of family servants, from the AMI

the old, gray-haired nanny who
had nursed 'Ole Massa.'
"She soon became enamored

SHIPPING FEARS
TRUMAN PROGRAM
National Federation Pro-
tests Sale OF 500 Ships
To European

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29-(R)-
The National Federation of
American Shipping declared to-
day that the shipping section OF
the proposed European recovery
program ''holds a grave
threat to the future" of the
American merchant marine.
The federation, which claims
to represent 95 per cent of dry
cargo American shipping, criti-
cized the section of President
Truman's proposals to Congress
which provided for the SAFE and
chatter of 500 us. ships to 16
European nations.
The Federation said in a
statement that while it favors
"a fair and reasonable effort to
aid European recovery consis-
tent with our national defense
and economy" it opposes pro-
posals which it declared would: ::
1. Deplete U. S. reserves OF
ships by Is per cent.
2. Throw 10000 to $4,000
American seamen and officers
out of work.
3. Build up foreign merchant
fleets at the expense of Ameri-
can shipping.
The Federation declared that
the proposed sale and charter
of 500 US. war built SHIPS "is
equal to more than 50 per cent
Of our present privately-owned
fleet. Yet the merchant fleets OF
the 16 European nations, includ-
ing their present fleets and their
building programs, vii. oy 1851,
be approximately 25 per cent in
excess of their prewar ton
naees."
