AIR MEN
 RESCUED,
 ICE GAP
Stranded Pliers Picked Up by CAY from Airbase
 in Greenland

WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.-tR- Air Force headquarters announced today the rescue of 13 airmen who had been stranded on the Green land icecap.
 They were picked up by CAT from an air base 270 miles north west of the crash scene, the Air Force said
 The CAT, which was specially equipped with skis for the landing, is returning to its base, Bluie West Eight.
 The CAT. which was equipped with jet-assist take-off apparatus, presumably will refuel at Bluie West Eight and take the rescued men to Laborador.
 It was not immediately certain how many men were rescued. The Air Forces count has been 13. An official said today, however, that the number may be only 12.
 One of the men stranded on the ice cap was 1st It. Allerd M. He'd wall of Seattle. He was aboard a rescue glider that dropped Dec. IT. The rescue came as the U.S.M. Saipan drove northward through the storm-swept Atlantic in an effort to reach the men with heli- copters. The Navy carrier sailed from Norfolk, Va, on Christmas Day
 The Air Force said it had been , in error in previous announcements that 13 men were stranded on the ice peak.
 :: It had assumed, it said, that two men were aboard glider which made the last previous rescue at tempt, when in reality only one man was aboard. Seven men were stranded Dec. g when their plane was forced down. Five others join ed them from time to time in un- successful rescue operations.
 The rescuing CAT, which had jet-assist takeoff equipment and skis, landed on the crusted snow at 9:30 am. (EST), loaded the men aboard and took off at 10:08 am. (EST).
 It was expected at its base, Bluie West Eight, at 12:10 pm. (EST).
 Previous rescue operations have been conducted from Bluie West One, an Air Force base about 110 miles from the stranded men, but the Air Force said that base is closing in because of heavy snow. l (Col. Bernt Balchen, Arctic ex- | pert who flew from Ladd Field to assist the rescue, was at Green i land when the men were picked i up.
 The rescue plane was piloted by Lit. Col. Emil G. Beaudry, native of Manchester, N. H., now station ed at Westover (Mass.) Air Force base.

Beautiful AtiYess Wife Of
 EIIioii Roosevelt SIashes Wrisiwii Razor; Accident!

POUGHKEEPSIE N. Y., Dec. 23-tR-Faye Emerson Roosevelt, beautiful actress wife of Elliott Roosevelt, slashed her left wrist with a razor early Sunday in the couples Hyde Park home, Sheriff c, Fred Close said last night.
 The sheriff quoted Dr. H. Sher- man Hirst, who treated the 31- year-old Mrs. Roosevelt, as saying he understood the wound was self inflicted and that she had to be restrained from injuring herself further.
 But Roosevelt, reached by tele- rhcne, said the injury resulted from an accident
 There is nothing to it." he add ed.
 The cut was described as super ficial. It required no stitches.
 After treating the blonde actress, Er. Hirst sent her to Vassar Broth CTS Hospital here where she spent the night under observation. She was released at noon yesterday.
 When informed of Roosevelt's statement that the wound wa! inflicted accidentally, the sheriff said:
 T can't help what Elliott says This is what Dr. Hirst told Deputy Sheiif tHugh) Brennan.
 It is my impression that the cutting was deliberate and am asking Elliott Roosevelt to appear at the District Attorneys office Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock for further details"
 Later he said he had received word from Roosevelt's attorney that the son of the late President would appear.
 The Roosevelts were married four years ago, be for the third time and she for the second
 In San Diego, Calif., Mrs. Roose- velt's mother, Mrs. Jean c. Young said the actress accidentally cut herself while hunting for aspirin in the bathroom"
 After two telephone conversations with Mrs Roosevelt, Mrs Young quoted her daughter as saying sht reached into a drawer where there were some extra razor blades. Faye said she didn't notice the blade' and cut herself. That's all there wa: to it. Shes quite all right now"

RUHR BARRED
 MAKING WAR PRODUCTION
Control System Authorized -Great Valley to Produce
 Solely for Peace

LONDON, Dec. 28. -tR- T e Western Powers set up today a strict international control system to bar Germany's industrial Ruhr Valley from war production.
 The Ruhr was ordered to produce solely for peace.
 Their decision was announced in a formal communique as the cli- max of a six-week conference here attended by representatives of the United States, Britain, France, The Netherlands, Belgium and Luxem- bourg.
 It contained no admission of Rus sia as a partner in the information al control board to be known as the "Ruhr Authority"
 An American spokesman told a news conference at the embassy the agreement probably will go into operation in two or three months He said a military security board provided for in the agreement also will begin functioning within that time. The spokesman said the Amer jeans regard the pact as an execu- tive agreement which will not need congressional approval, as formal treaty would.
 GERMANY AS MEMBER
 The agreement offered Germany a place on the board as soon as 1t develops a legal government. The Germans will have three votes- the same as the United States, Brit ain and France will have and two more than each of the Benelux countries which it overran in World War Two.
 It set up an international system of inspection-the framework Of an industrial police-to keep the Ruhr from becoming once again a war making industrial machine, as 1t did under Hitler and Kaiser Will helm.
 OWNERSHIP DISPUTE
 It left unsettled the dynamite laden question of ultimate owner ship of the Ruhr's industries-a plain concession to France.
 The French want international ownership. Britain prefers German public ownership. The United States favors private enterprise.
 The agreement was for an in- definite term, leaving open the pos sibility the Ruhr might forever con- tinue under international supervis- ion.
 This, too was a concession to the French-often the victim of Ger man aggression-who argued with success thet Germany's industrial might was developed in the coal, coke and steel production Of the Ruhr's concentrated industries.
 The decision will be put into force just as soon as the agreement is signed by the six governments. The British cabinet already has given it an okay.

POWER OFF
 ON CHANNEL
 LAST NIGHT
BIaekout Occurs Causing Disruption But Ii Cdn-
 not Be Helped

Homes, offices and business places were darkened for two hours and 40 minutes last night when power failure plunged Gastineau Channel in darkness. Tn Douglas the darkness prevailed until mid- night
 Power on the channel went off at 7:o9 last night and did not go on again until 9:48 o'clock. The auxiliary plant of the AELP was started soon after the power went off last night, restoring street lighting.
 Power went out again this morn- ing at 924 o'clock, but was re- stored by 9:41 a. m, IT minutes later, making total blackout of two hours and 57 minutes up to noon today.
 Cause for power shutdown is heavy icing of wiring, according to C. B. Holland of the Alaska Electric Light and Power Go.
 Holland said that as long as the weather continued in the same sleet-like condition, anything could happen to light wiring, and that there was not much that can be done about it. He said that with three inches or more of snow and ice weighting wires all over town. the wires will keep breaking un- til the weather condition clears. Light crews were on the job un- til the early hours, and went out again this morning to tie up the breaks in wiring.
 | The telephone company has had
 some wiring down, they say. but ; not as much as might have been i expected due to the heavy snow 1! Work crews are on the job repairing dcwned lines.
 During the blackout, candles were brought into use in homes and business establishments. The various cocktail bars kept open for business and beer and other beverages were downed by candle light.
 Restaurants were hard hit as power went off and ranges became cold and coffee urns refused to perk.
 Both the Capitol and 20th Gen. tury theatres were also hard hit. Movie audiences began leaving af- ter 15 minutes to half an hour. Rain checks were given or ad- mittance money refunded Finally, the two movie houses closed their doors for the night. l Homes, oil heated, began to grow chilly until the juice came on again.
 | Fire department crews were sta- i ticned at the Fire Hall in case of emergency and linemen watched the fire alarm boards and also sig l nal lines during the two hour and 40 minute shutdown. l KINY was off the air during the blackout. In fact, the station went off before uptown power failed, as a power line, broke near the Union 1 oil dock
 Radio sets were also off and
 entertainment in the homes was
 at a low ebb during the period ,of no power

Fire Prefers Farmer

OF COWIS anu CLUES. 1DdL SIdteillellb
comes from the National Fire Pro-
lection association, sponsor of fire
prevention week, October SO, in
cooperation with the u. S. depart
ment of agriculture.
About one-third of the persons
who are killed by fire live on farms,
though only one-fifth of the people
of the United States are farm resi-
dents, the NFPA says. Last year,
fires caused 1900 deaths, $500 of
them on farms. The nations none
tary fire loss in 1947 was $500, 000,-
600 and about 500, 900, 900 of this
was incurred On farms.
The NFPA directs a special plea
to farmers because fire hazards are
more numerous on farms than in
towns and cities. Fire prevention
experts point out that farmers keep
large stocks of gasoline and kero-
sene; farms are in greater danger
from lightning; farmers use large
quantities of combustible materials
such as hay, rags and feed bags;
farmers have the problem of cur
ing hay properly and keeping it
dry to prevent spontaneous ignition
and that there are more lamps and
lanterns on farms.
Correcting Hazards
Here are NFPA recommendations
for correcting farm fire hazards:
/. Stop careless smoking habits
such as smoking in barns and other
buildings where flammable material
is stored or used, and ~discarding
lighted cigarets and matches.
2. Don't allow combustible rub
bish to accumulate. !. is dangerous
to stack papers, magazines, old cloth
ing, broken toys, discarded furni-
ture, old feed bags and boxes in at
tics, closets or Easements and in
barns and other work buildings.
Oily rags should be kept in metal
containers to prevent spontaneous
ignition.
8. Clean lamps and lanterns reg
ularly, keep dust and cobwebs from
power machinery to prevent a stray
spark from setting a flash fire and
clean the heating plant and the
chimney at least once a year. Keep
flammable material away from
small stoves.
4. Replace flammable wood shin
gle roofs with fire-resistant roofing
such as asphalt shingles, asbestos,
slate OF metal. The hundreds of
communities which have building
codes prohibiting flammab1e roofs
have cut the number of roof fires
so drastically that flammable roof
ing has dropped from third place
among all fire hazards to seventh or
eighth.
5. Gasoline and kerosene should
be stored in metal containers away
from main buildings. Never use
flammable cleaning fluids; cleaning
fluids which won't burn are avail
able.
6. Repair defective electrical ap-
planes and replace frayed cards
promptly. Don't overload the ca.
pacity of a FARMS electrical system
z. Install lightning rods on al
main buildings. An efficiently in
stalled lightning rod system, KEPT
in good condition, provides virtually

As Likely 10 Manage
San Diego Padres
By the Associated Press

CLEVELAND, Nov. 17.-Steve
O'Neill and Joe Vosmik today were
considered possible managerial
choices for the San Diego. Padres,
Pacific Coast League club which has
signed a working agreement with
the Cleveland Indians.
Vice President Hank Greenberg
of the Indians announced the
agreement in New York yesterday
and said it was likely that a mem
Der of the Tribe organization would
be selected as Padre pilot.
ONeill, recently fired as manager
of the Detroit Tigers, is not in the
Cleveland fold now, but Indian
President Bill Veeck has said he
wanted to find a spot in the system
for him.
Vosmik, former Tribe star, was
manager of Dayton, Ohio, last year
and Tucson before that. He had
considerable success with both Of
the Tribe farm clubs.
Greenberg said President Bill
Starr of the Padres was extremely
anxious to have the club join the
Indians organization and so were
the baseball fans OF San Diego"
Starr, he added, was "very open
minded on. the subject Of a new
manager"
Greenberg said San Diego will
have first call on all Cleveland
farmhands of class AAA ability. At
the end of each season, the Indians
will have the right to purchase any
two players owned by the Padres.
The coast club replaces Baltimore
as Cleveland's class AAA farm.
