King Emanuele HI Of Italy, 7S, Dies In Exile


 Vittorio Emanuele III, 78, the di- minutive king whose 20 years of subservience to Benito Mussolini led to the downfall of the House of Savoy and nearly brought about the ruin of Italy, died in exile yes terday of pneumonia at his Alex andria villa.
 Elena, tall, 74-year-old wife of the former ruler, was at his bed side when death came.
 The former king was stricken with double pneumonia Wednes- day while preparing to, celebrate Christmas with his family. He was taken to the Italian hospital in Alexandria.
 A dispatch from Lisbon said that Umberto, who succeeded his father as king for one month, un- til the Italians threw out the mon archy, planned to leave today for Alexandria.
 Vittorio Emanuele, esteemed by his people after World War l, came under the domination of Mussolini in 1922 when the latter marched on Rome and the King summoned him to form a cabinet The picture finally changed in July, 1943, when Allied victories in the Mediterranean theater showed Italy's true weakness and Vittorio Emanuele played a major role in unseating the dictator to whom he had played yes-man for so many years.
 When finally he found asylum with the Allies, Vittorio Emanuele denounced Mussolini and Hitler. The Italians remembered too keenly his previous royalties, how ever, and called for his abdication.
 In 1914 when the Allies took Rome, the king surrendered his power to Umberto as lieutenant general of the realm, move which made him king in name only.
 No funeral arrangements have yet been made, but there was mo- indication the former monarch would be returned to Italy to lie in the Pantheon niche once as- signed to him.

Commission Finds Lighterage Com-
 panies Violate Law

The examiner TOT the Marltlme Commission in the case to deter mine the lawfulness of the fares, charges and practices of the Lo- men Commercial Company and the Kotzebue Sound Lighterage Company has submitted his find ings to. the commission based on his opinion that the two companies have been violating the law.
 The Alaska Development Board and the Territory of Alaska were participants in the rate case and attacked the level of the rates, fares and charges of the Lomen Commercial Company. The atSlck was based partially against the rates charged for movement of cargo by the company between ship and shore. With certain ex- captions these rates at the time of the hearings were specified per centages of the rates of the Alaska Steamship company for the trans portation from Seattle. In other words, the rate for lighterage at Nome, Golovin and Teller was 50 per cent of the rate charged by the Alaska Steamship company tC carry freight from Seattle to Nome, Golovin and Teller, and 55 per cent at Solomon and Bluff. The examiner, F. J. Horan, has submitted that the Maritime Com mission should find:
 "D That, to the extent Lomen's rates, fares and charges wield net income in excess of the amount found herein to be a fair return, they are, and for the future will be, unjust and unreasonable, in violation of section 18 of the Ship ping Act, 1916; @ That Lomen does not file with the commission schedules showing all of its rates, in violation of section of the In tercoastal Shipping Act, 1883; (3) that Lomen allows longer period of free time than that permitted by its tariff on file with the Commis- sion, in violation of section of the Intercoastal Shipping Act; (4 that the rates charged by respond ent Kotzebue Sound Lighterage Company under the contracts dis

Missing Superfort Crashed North Of Nome; Rescue Operations On

l NOME LP)-HeaVy ground logs, i gale force winds and Sub-Zero temperatures confronted resc u c parties today as the air force, fur ther hindered by the crash land ing of a CAY tow plane and its glider in Sundays operations, sought to evacuate four known survivors of a B-29 crash in the bleak sub-Arctic 95 miles north of 1 Nome.
 None of the seven men in the CAY and the glider were injured
 Five of the unsuccessful rescu- CTS were returned last night to Nome by the crew of a GAS. Two others were left behind to ready the stranded glider to be picked up today.
 Condition of the four survivors and the fate of the four other crew members of the sericken super fortress, the "Clobbered Turkey" still was uncertain. The plane crashed on a training flight last Tuesday.
 Capt. Aiken Mays, Nome air base doctor, and two paratroopers dropped to their aid Saturday night, shortly after the plane was first sighted, but failure of their radio equipment has made it i'm possible to gather details. A sec ond radio was dropped by the CAY yesterday but there was no indi- cation from the medical team that the messages were getting through. l Col. Harry N. Burkhalter, com manding officer of the Nome air base, said rescue operations would be resumed today as quickly as weather conditions permit. Winds ranging from g to 40 miles an hour, temperatures down to 40 de- grees below zero, and heavy ground fog were reported in the region of the crashed plane.
 While crew members clear landing strip on the lake for a CAY, the dog team will head for the wrecked B-29 and bring back survivors. Burkhalter said it would require two or three hours to clear the strip for a wheeled landing, but expressed hope that evacuation of the men could be completed to Nome before the early midwinter Arctic darkness closes in tonight.
 Private pilots also failed in their attempts to reach the Clobbered Turkeys survivors.
 Frank Whaley and John Cross of the Wien Alaska Airlines land ed on the lake at which base camp is to be established today, , but reported they could not make their way the four miles into the plane because of the weather.
 Whaley, after flying low over the wreckage, said the B-29 had crashed into a low hill and that the front end appeared to have , burned. The fuselage was broken in two, he said, with the tail sur faces bent back over one of the wings.
 A canvas covering was pulled over the unburned back end of the cabin, but he said no signs of the survivors or of the medical team were seen.

W0LFPACK BEGINS
C0LDSB0R0 DRILLS
BY JIGGS POWERS

Star sports correspondent
WHITEVILLE, Nov. 3.-Know-
ing that they have one of their
toughest week-ends of the 1947
schedule just ahead of them,
Whiteville High Schools Wolf
pack settled down to hard work
today for next Friday nights
contest with the powerful
Goldsboro eleven.
The contest will be played in
the bailiwick of the double. A
Eastern Conference member,
with the kickoff coming at 8
pm.
Coach Earl Brinkley's boys
came through their IL to Q win
over the surprisingly tough
Chadbourn Panther aggregation
without mishap, with the ex-
ception of bruises and cuts
which are considered a part of
any grid battle as tough as the
one with the invaders was.
The boys from the neighbor-
ing Strawberry center gave the
locals quite struggle before
the Pack offensive began to
click in the final half, as they
struck for a touchdown in each
of the last two quarters to win.
It was their fifth win of the
year against three losses.
The Wolfpack will be the un-
'derdog in the battle against the
Wayne county eleven, since
they are in the Eastern AA
conference. Goldsboro's latest
victory was $40 win over a
big Kinston team, in Kinston,
last Saturday.
Whiteville will be depending
greatly on the speed of 142
pound Eldred Williamson, their
star scatback, in the forth
coming affray. The tiny scooter
outstanding against the Pan
Tiers Friday night, ripping off
several lengthy gains during
the contest.
He is undoubtably the hardest
runner on the Pack squad. Will
hanson has been consistent in
his play throughout the sche-
dule, along with the brilliant
Bill Ellis, who is out of action
due to poor health.
Since Ellis is absent, the bur-
den of the Pack offensive will
rest on the shoulders of William
son, C-captain Joe Inman, and
Robert West. The latter, con-
verted from a fullback to a half
back, also showed up well in the
locals contest against the Pan
thers, scoring their first I'd on
a II yard charge through the
center of the Chadbourn for
ward wall. Offensive blocking,
along with defensive work, will
get a thorough going over by
the Pack during the week.
