Standing by the stricken ship
at nightfall were Russian patrol

the freighter Taihoku Maru, the
latter two Japanese manned. A

American-controlled. but Japanese
manned vessels were en- route to
lend assistance.
The Far East Air Force reported
that a rescue plane would circle
the Dvina throughout the night.
Decks Reported Awash.
Naval authorities said her stu
alton was considerably improved"
and that it might be possible to
tow the Dvina to shore.
Earlier reports had said the ship
might sink in a few hours. An
American airman reported at II am.
g pm, Wednesday, EST, that the
Dvinas decks were awash. Later,
the crew of a B-29 reconnaissance
plane said-after circling the ship
five hours-they had been unable to
contact the ship by radio or blinker
signal.
while we were over the ship,
a japanese tanker appeared and
came within 200 yards Of the Rus
sian ship and stopped" said 1t.
Henry Deutschendorf Of Tulsa.

were unable to see whether the
tanker got line abroad"
One of the Dvina's first distress
messages. yesterday had reported
ut is necessary to remove pas
sengers Immediately" It added that
waves surging across her deck were
filling the ship and that she had
only one lifeboat.
II could not sight any RATS or
boats on or above the deck Of the
ship" said 1t. Erik W. Foged Of
Omaha, a crew member of the re-
turned B-29.
"None of us could sight any one
in the water around the ship"
added M/Sergt. D. A. Meyer Of
Watertown, S. Oak "The 'tempera-
ture over the Russian boat was 20
below freezing, Centigrade. Any
one who fell into the water or
washed overheard would have been
frozen in the icy water"
Dozen Seen on Decks.
1t. Deutschendorf said he saw
very little smoke from the vessels
one stack when his plane reached
the scene-145.17 degrees East, Il As
degrees North, or about so miles
southeast of Erimo Point, on the
southeast tip Of Hokkaido Island.
But he said the smoke seemed to
be increasing as the plane started
homeward.
The airmen said only about q
dozen persons were seen on the
deck.
They could not definitely identify
the vessel by type, but said 1t re-
sembled an American Liberty ship.
Pictures taken from the plane sup
ported that estimate of the vessels
size. Earlier reports indicated 1t
was a motorship.
American naval authorities said
they were informed the Dvina,
identified to them as a 1,773-ton
vessel and too small for a Liberty
ship, was en- route to Vladivostok
from Kamchatka when she en-
counterd trouble off Southern Hok-
kaido, several hundred miles south
of her normal course. Lacking in
formation, they assumed the pas
sengers were Russians.

Alaska Will Get Parcel Post Zones

JUNEAU, (P) - Alaska is ex- pected to be zoned for air parcel post by Sept. when a new mea- sure authorizing such zoning is scheduled to go into effect.
 Announcing this today, Robert Burgess, deputy second assistant postmaster general, said the zon- ing would provide the same pack age rate between. places in Alas ka as btween comparable places in the States.
 Burgess was accompanied here by A. D. Lawrence, superintend- ent of the railway mail service at Seattle, and A. O. Willoughby, regional superintendent of air mail service for the western states.

Senate Attacks Anti-Inflation, Anti-Poll Tax Bills
(BY Edwin B. Haakinson)

WASHINGTON, P)-Anti-poll tax legislation was brought up in the Senate yesterday and South erners immediately began fili- clustering tactics.
 It was evident that this first measure to get consideration in the special congress session would draw a lot of talk, but probably no action.
 Prospects were no brighter, either for President Truman's anti-inflatiOn program. Paul Por- ter, former OPA administrator, took a detailed bill embracing the program before the House banking committee. It asks price control and rationing power and aims at showing prices of cOSt-of- living items back toward Novem- Der, 1947, levels.
 A storm of COP hostility greet ed Porter and the bill. Chairman Wolcott R.-MichD said the ad- ministration had powers it was not using. He also asserted that President Truman broke "the price line "by encouraging a wage increase for steel workers near the end of tn war.
 The anti-poll tax legislation would outlaw payments of state poll taxes as a requirement for voting in federal elections. It has passed the House.
 Senator Wherry R-Neb0 mov- ed that the Senate consider it, saying he did so in a hopeful spirit"
 Senator Russell D.-GaD promt- ly started delaying tactics. He asked a quorum call. This is q call of the roll to determine Whe- ther a majority of the Senate is present.
The Nome nugget., 1948-07-30

the lawmakers. The aim, by cut ting those prices back to the No vember, 1947, level, is to hold general living costs where they are now, Porter said.
 MT. Truman, in his message to- day, insisted:
 "It is not too late for preventa- tive measures, and we are not yet forced by the tragic consequences of depression to adopt measures which would interfere with our free economy far more than would any or all of the measures have proposed"
 The pages he sent to Capitol Hill mostly comprised the report of his council of economic advis- CTS. The three-member council backed up MT. Truman's plea for more power, but did not endorse any particular form of regulation.
 Industrial factors are now en- tering the picture, MT. Truman said. He listed these as including multi-billion dollar spending for defense and foreign aid, third round" wage boosts, and the prob able wiping out of the federal surplus this year.

Truman Lashes Congress; Demands Price Controls And Wartime Powers

WASHINGTON, (P)-President Truman today accused the Repub- lican Congress of "blind disre- gard" of quickening imitation.
