" ASHINGTON - For the past two weeks President Truman and his advisers have been giving a lot of thought to ways and means of getting the dynamite laden Russo-American crisis out of the hands of the diplomats and putting it on a people-to-people basis.
 In brief, it is proposed that Truman make an appeal direct to Stalin in which he would empha- size that the world can never have peace if one nation refuses to let its people make friends with the rest of the world.
 Stalin would be reminded of the great hopes for peace which all the world cherished. of the comrade- ship and common goal of the American and Soviet armies, of the great friendship which the American people once felt for the people of Russia, and their present disappointment at the way that friendship has been rebuffed and

COAST STORM
 RACES
Boats Battered by Gale Graft Run Aground
 Men Rescued

SEATTLE, oct. iZ.-'Hp-Wiiius from 50 to 60 miles an hour churn- ed the North Pacific last night and forecasters predicted little change today.
 The Coast Guard said it has received no distress calls.
 The Weather Bureau said dis turbance ranged from point on the Kenai Peninsula l50 miles northeast of Kodiak to Alaska Coast points and the Queen Char lotte Islands.
 It followed a weekend gale that sank two ships and crippled six.
 From Prince Rupert, B. C., came a report of the rescue Of five American seamen after l2 hours on Lewis Island, 25 miles to the south, where their 93-foot ship went aground.
 They were Capt. John M. Thorn ton. 34. Seattle. Clare Randall, 42 George Butterfield. AT. William Piatt, 39, and Gilpin Sessions. all oi Ketchikan.
 The Coast Guard said it was fighting heavy seas in an effort to transfer from the Kodiak Island village of Uzinki to Kodiak hos pital boy reported suffering from an accidental gunSl1ot wound.
 Five Men Rescued
 The five Ketchikan men were rescued from the southeast tip of Lewis Island by British Columbia police boat Saturday afternoon. Their boat, The Discoverer, had lost it's rudder in 55-mile- -an-hour gale.
 The shipwrecked men said that between daylight Saturday and the time of their rescue, between eight and a dozen ships had passed by but apparently had failed to note their signals for help. The men built a smoke-fil'e among the trees and waved handkerchiefs from the beach whenever 6 vessel pass ed.
 Carrying Is tons Of assorted cargo including household effects belonging to Sessions, the Discov- erer left Ketchikan for Seattle on Friday
 Pounds on Boulders
 The Discoverer went aground at the South end of Lewis Island about two miles from Herbert Reef where an American Army tug struck week ago. She struck on boulders at half tide, bat tered by heavy surf which stove in her bottom and did severe dam age to her hull.
 Between the ship and the shore line was 100 yards of white boiling surf breaking over boulders, and the men stayed aboard the tortured ship until T a. m. unable to get ashore As the tide rose, the ves- sel was battered inshore and they were about to lay plank onto the rocks.
 When the ship struck, the men tried to make shore in lifeboat, but it was swamped and blown away almost immediately. They were forced to remain on the Dis coverer, which finally wedged be- tween two rocks with her stern hanging over deep water.
 The Discoyerer is owned by Lawrence Erickson, Ketchikan business man and has been en- gagged in freight service between Ketchikan and Seattle. Salvage possibilities are being investigated.
