FAIRBANKS, (H)-"I am going to continue," Mrs. Richard Mor- roW-Tait, British "round-th world tller, said yesterday, Eff I have to put the plane in a wheelbarrow."
 And it looks at this juncture as if she may have to do just that.
 Wings and landing gear dam aged beyond repair, her one-en- g.ned plywood plane lies in a heap today alongside the Alaska High way 235 miles southeast of here, where it crashed Sunday.
 Neither the ex-model nor her navigator, Michael Townsend, has enough money to pay for shipping the wrecked plane into Canada the nearest repair point, or for shipping parts from Canada tc Alaska.
 Monday was the flying matron's 18th birthday and she declared what I need for birthday pres ent is a miracle"
 Mrs. Morrow-Tait was worried, too, lest souvenir hunters dis mantle "Thursday's Child" com pie ely as the battered ship lies un- guarded a few yards off the high way. Officers had difficulty in per suading the comedy redhead to de- sert the wreckage.
 Mrs. Morrow-Tait said she and Townsend were fortunate to es- cape uninjured when the small plane broke it's landing gear com ing down the highway and plung- ed into roadside brush.

The PASA mean while delayed further talks with the striking CIO marine cooks and stewards union, which claimed the same Alaska ship jobs.
 Still in the argument stage too, are rival CIO and AFL claims to shipboard radio operators.

Internation'l News At A Glance ---
(By The Associated Press Tuesday. November 23. l948

A top American government of ficial estimated today five billion dollars must be poured from the U. s. treasury into China if there is any change to stop the advancing communists.
 President Truman, who reviewed foreign relations with Secretary of State Marshall, was described as eager to reach a decision quickly on China. He must reply to an ur- gent appeal last week from Chiang Kai-Shek asking in effect that the U. s. furnish a great deal more and about take over direction of the war against the Reds. Some gov- ernment officials are known to feel it is too late. During the war and since, the U. s. has sent $3,6OO, 100000 to China, with little to show for it.
 The communists regrouped after a battering last week and opened new drive on Suchow, key to Nan king 180 miles away and to cen tral China. Weather held back na tionalist planes which blunted the communist attack last week.
 The Reds increased threats in North China to Peiping and Tient- sin by taking over Paoting.
 President Synbman Rhee of South Korea asked new assurance American occupation troops will not leave South Korea while the communist threat continues" A Korean communist army was formed in North Korea which Rus sia occupies and probably would move into the south if U. s. troops left.
 Doctors ordered King George VI of Britain to take complete rest for six months. He cancelled tours to Australia and New Zealand for 1949. A circulatory disease-possi- bly a blood clot-recently became "acute" in his right leg.
 The Americans told the U. N. the security council still should find solution of the Berlin blockade crisis. An American spokesman said "the actions of Soviet outhori- ties in Berlin are increasingly pre- venting the lawful city government from exercising its functions"
 The Russians forbid circulation in their zone of the new Berlin telephone book since it did not list the communist police department. The communists were threatening to stop the elevated railroad, sole transport system in Berlin after 6 pm.
 The American military govern ment said steel production in the Ruhr made another postwar record last month and that communist unions had failed to stir labor un- rest. The report said the Berlin blockade has forced 400 more fac tories in western Berlin to close or cut operations.
 Australia called on the Arabs and Jews to settle the Palestine question on the basis of the U. N. partition plan of last Nov. 29. The resolution recommended U. N.

was mistake. The first Dicken~
son county jury to give a verdict
of murder in the first degree was
in 1902 when Wilson Bryant was
found guilty of aiding in the kill
ing of Will Hanover and sentenc-
ed to hang. The death sentence
was later committed to a life term
in the penitentiary. Bryant was
shot and killed a few years later
by a guard as he attempted to
escape from the state prison farm.
The next and last case in which
a verdict of murder of the first
degree was returned, which then
automatically carried a death
sentence, was in 1908 when Eli
jah Wright, noted Kentucky
bad man, was convicted of the
murder of Bill Sifers on Big
Ridge and sentenced to hang.
The case was reversed by the
supreme court because of some
technical error in the trial, and
he was later tried and sentenced
to IS years in the penitentiary.
He served the greater part of the
sentence, was released and re-
turned to his former home in
Kentucky and later met death
when he fell over cliff on Beef
hide Creek.

Taft Will Turn Over
Job Of Spokesman for
Republicans 10 Dewe,
By the kssoeioted Press

Senator Taft of Ohio has turned
over the ticklish job of being spokes-
man for the COP to the presiden-
tial nominee, Thomas E. Dewey.
THE spotlight belongs to the win
ner-Tom Dewey" Senator Taft
told a reporter. I'm stepping out
of it."
For more than a year Senator
Taft, chairman of the Senate COP
Policy Committee, with a powerful
voice in important legislation. has
been widely regarded as the voice
OF the COP" When President Tru-
man and other Democrats blasted
at the Republican-controlled Con-
gress, usually it was Senator Taft
who did the answering for his party.
But Gov. Dewey is the man to
do the talking now" Mr. Taft said
firmly.
Returns to Cincinnati.
Senator Taft has returned to Gin
cinnati with Mrs. Taft for brief
visit. He will return here July II
and then leave for a long vacation
at Murray Bay, Canada.
Here are some of his moves for
dropping from the limelight:
/. The spacious eight-room offices
of the national Taft for President
headquarters near the Capitol have
been vacated.
2. William McAdams, public rela-
tions man who spent two years on
the Taft campaign, is no longer
on the Senator's staff.
3. Senator Taft will not seek the
lob of Senate floor leader, which
will be open in January if Repub-
licans retain their majority in that
body. Senator White, Republican,
of Maine. the present floor leader, is
quitting the Senate.
4. Senator Taft says it's "too
early to think or talk about seek
ing another Senate term. His pres
ent term runs two more years.
Is on staff Released.
Senator Taft said he decided to
release Mr.. McAdams because
won't have much need for public
relations man now
Representative Brown, Republi-
can, of Ohio said the shutdown OF
the Taft-for-P President headquarters
here released a staff of l8, part Of
them volunteer workers"
One source here indicated that
the Taft-for President drive, ex-
tending over two years and includ-
ing outlays at the Philadelphia
convention. cost nearly 5000, 900.
