5-YEAR-0LD GIRL
 SWEPT INTO SEWER
 IN FREAK ACCIDENT
Drops Into Open Mdnhole Carried Away in Swift
 Waters 12 Feet Below

SEATTLE, Nov 18-tdl--A little five-year- girl, gleefully accom- panying her father and an aunt on an evening walk. plummeted in- to an open sewer manhole last night and was swept away by the swift waters l2 feet below.
 A tortuous night-long search that tool, firemen, police and street de- partment officials through miles Of winding underground tunnels un- covered no trace Of the youngster.
 Harbor patrolmen and firemen were posted along the waterfront where the sewers join in emptying into Elliott Bay.
 The victim was Sherron Irene Rothrcck only child of MT. and Mrs. Dean Rothrock The mother was taken to a hospital suffering from shock.
 It was believed that pressure ere ated by water backing up in the 20-inch pipe had removed the manhole cover The tragedy occur red during a torrential burst of rain that momentarily flooded the dralns.
 A service station operator, Ray DeLong, told police he saw water buhbljng from the manhole Is or 20 minutes before the accident He said another person told him that passing motorist stopped at one time and replaced the lid.
 The child's father told police Sherron had begged to go along as he accompanied her aunt, Mrs. Am prose Smith, to a bus stop.
 Clutching their hands, the tot walked directly into the uncovered manhole which none of them had noticed in the darkness. In the sud- denness of the plunge, the child tore a ring from her fathsr's finger.
 Fire Chef William Fitzgerald, di- recting the search, ordered the hunt continued until the child is found. Bremen worked in pairs, descend ing ladders at the manholes into the rushing water, and flashing lights through the pipes from man. hole to manhole.
 The search was complicated by a three-way branching of the pipes a short distance below the scene.

FLARE UP
 OVER COST
 OF LIVING
Claims G0Pers Trieked- One Congressman Talks
 for Forgotten Man"

WASHINGTON, Nov. ls.-lR--
 Republican opposition to Presi- dent Truman's proposals for con- trolling the cost of living flared up on the House floor today with Rep. Frederick c. Smith (R-Ohio) declaring that the plan seems to be to enslave the American peo- pie"
 In his message to the special session called to vote aid to Eu- rope and attempt to check rising prices at home, Mir Truman plead ed for standby power to invoke limited rationing and price wage controls among 10 domestic pro- poSalS.
 The flare-up on the House floor followed criticism sounded previous ly by Senator Taft CR-Ohio) the chairman of the Senate COP Pol icy Committee, and by House Speaker Martin 'R-Mass)
 AdmOnishes GOPers Connecting the plea for foreign aid with MT. Truman's domestic proposals, Smith cried out:
 Is the Republican party going to be tricked into betraying it's pledge to protect the American people from regimentation, by sup porting the Marshall plan?" i MT. Truman asked the special session to consider S597 900 900 emergency aid for France, Italy and Austria immediately with action on the long -range, self-help re- covery plan for Europe, often re- ferred to as the Marshall plan, to come later.
 The White House said today that the Presidents message on the Marshall plan would be sent to Congress within ten days or two weeks.
 May Seek Inventory Possibility of delay in getting to vote on the emergency aid pro- posals was seen in a Senate Ap- propriations committee decision to seek an inventory of American food supplies before acting Chair man Bridges (R-NH) said hearings will begin Thursday with Secretary of Agriculture Anderson testifying on crop prospects. Bridges said numerous others will be called to give information on aspects for provisions of various commodities, including coal, petrol cum and fertilizer, ! For Forgotten Man f Rep. Knutson (R-Minn) told the House he wanted to speak flor the forgotten man-the American citizen"
 Considering the foreign aid bill, too, the Senate Foreign Relations
 Committee heard Secretary of Ag- iiculture Anderson and Undersec- i, retary of State Robert Lovett be-
 hind closed doors. Taft. replying to the President
 by Radio eight and one-half 1, hours after MT. Truman addressed joint session of Congress yester- i, day, sounded this Republican bat
 tie cry.
 This is the police state con-
 demned by the President himself only month ago. This is the end of economic freedom"
 The White House, however, said
 public reaction to MT. Trumans proposals were favorable Presi- dential Secretary Charles G. Ross said 47 of 50 telegrams received overnight were favorable to the Presidents program. |, Mir Truman's message to Con-

DEFENSE FOR
 ALA5kAGETS BIG BOOST
Qualifications Dem a nded that Would Knock He'll
 Out of Anybody
By CHARLES D. WATKINS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-Ri- Rep. Crawford (R-Mich), chairman of the House Public Lands Terri tories Subcommittee, called today for making Alaska impregnable against any sort of attack.
 And he said all of the Pacific northwest should be fortified so completely that we can knock hell out of anybody" that attacks 1t. The great dams on the Columbia River and the huge power system that serves Washington and Ore gon. he said, have no protection from an attack.
 Russia today he said i'll an interview, could force us to sur render our Alaskan bases or blow them up, because of lack Of ade- quate defense.
 We should eliminate every un- needed item of expense in the Army and Navy budgets Crawford said, "and Congress should add size able appropriation to that, and spend it until the expenditure if Alaska for defense squares up with what we are spending to aid the rest of the world"
 Is For Statehood
 Crawford said he was 100 per cent" for statehood for Alaska.
 statehood fits in with our for eign policy in such way that now is the time for the United States to consolidate it's areas and natural resources and win the support of the people," he said. All our areas should be knit into a geographical unit by giving Hawaii and Alaska statehood and we should give to cur people those things we are try ing to give to all the other peoples of the world.
 Alaska has been under our jurls- diction for 30 years and the people up there are like the people in our states, east, west, north and south. The Territory is the one outstand- ing buffer state of the world be- tween Russia and the United States first, and, secondly, between Russia and the world because of such movements in this country as the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan''
 Defense Is Needed
 Crawford said the United States was spending tens Of millions of dollars" in building Army, Navy and Air Corps bases in Alaska with great airfields without taking steps to defend them. He continued: :. We must provide defenses for Alaska or otherwise how can we be assured, in light of threatening warnings given us by the admins tration, that Russia will not accept our invitation by reason of lack of defenses, and occupy them for use against us.'
 Crawford reviewed the lack o1 transportation to Alaska and said the present condition was because the Territory has no voice in Con gress which could demand immed- fate solution of the problem. cIhe Territory has a delegate, with no vote)
 That condition would not have been tolerated a minute if the Ter ritory had Representatives ana Senators in Congress" Crawford said statehood for the Territory will eliminate that"
 We no longer have any moral or political reason to deny present and future citizens of Alaska direct representation" he said.
