piccard Group Makes
First Dive Today Off
Cape Verde Islands
By Henry Ghyssels
North American Newspaper Alliance

ABOARD PICCARD-COSYNS EX-
petition MOTHERSH1P SEAL
DIS, off the Cape Verde Islands,
Oct. 23.-The first real dive of the
Piccard-Ccsyns' bathyscaphe will
take place tomorrow in these shall
low waters. Preparations are now
under way for this undertaking
which will be the naturalization
of dream of 40 years.
We are anchored in the south bay
Of the island of Boa Vista in the
Cape Verde group. A mountain
overhangs our anchorage, the Rocha
Estancia, but search with field
glasses reveals only a few palm
trees by way Of vegetation.
Georges Marlier, Jean Pierre van
den Eeckhoudt and Theodore Mo-
nod, expedition biologists, are al
ready busy classifying and drawing
brightly colored sketches of the
tropical fish in these waters. Other
scientists on the expedition are also
busy. Oceanographer Claude Fran
cis-Boeuf, Biochemist Nine. Jacque-
line Sosyns (wife Of the coleader,
Prof. Max Cosyns )and Georges
BERT "a chemist taken aboard at
Dakar) are already analyzing the
waters taken from various depths
and checking plankton specimens.
Other expedition members are
working in the hold on the great
underwater balloon" in It's special
cradle, aided by French Navy 1t.
Comdr. Jacques Y. Coustau, COM
manding the accompanying cor
vette Ellie Monnier, and French Navy
Engineer Jean de Richemond.
The batteries were newly charged
last night.
Comdr. Coustau and his divers
are now checking the diving suits
to be used to follow at least the
early stages of the bathyscaphe's
descent below the waters.
The first dive will, incidentally,
provide the static weight of the
bathyscaphe. This is crucially i'm
portant because it will determine
how much ballast must be taken
along.
Safety precautions during these
early test dives are extensive.
Comdr. Coustau and his divers will
have ready a strong steel cable to
be attached to the top Of the bathy-
scaphe so that If anything goes
wrong it can be hauled out of the
water by the winches of the Scaldis.
The divers will also be able to
salvage the heavy batteries should
they have to be dropped. These are
emergency ballast to ensure a fast
return to the surface in case some
unusual development holds the
craft under water.
DR.. Daniel Bouchet, the ships
physician, having checked all mem
bers Of the expedition and the crew,
reports that all are unusually
healthy.

Hungary Seizes Officials
Misusing Potato Bug Fund
BY the Asseeiufed Press

BUDAPEST, Hungary, July "a
The Interior Ministry announced to-
day the arrest of several Agriculture
Ministry employees, accused of using
department funds to buy luxury
cars"
The accused took the. money, the
ministry said, from a fund which
had been earmarked to fight potato
bugs.
The Agriculture Ministry is the
last stronghold of the Smallholder
Party, headed by Smallholder Presi-
dent Istval Dobi as agriculture min
ister. The arrests were viewed in
some circles as the beginning of a
purge of the department.
The statement said that Rudolf
Fabinyi and Elmer Kiss, two en-
ployes of the ministry, were linked
with an agent of a foreign power
and handed him secret documents
and confidential details of Hun
gary's economic plan. The snug
Cling out of these documents was
prevented by frontier guards, the
statement said.
Sixty-two persons were detained
for political and economic con-
spiracies, for treason and spying and
SIS persons of these 81 are civil serv-
ants of the Ministry of Agriculture, -

Truman Reported Set
On Program 10 End
Service Segregation
By Doris FIeeson
Stor Staff CORRESPONDENT

PHILADELPHIA, July 24.-Author-
itative sources in Washington to-
night confirmed reports here that
President Truman will move short
ly on a program to end segregation
in the armed services.
The Wallace party convention
has hammered on the fact that the
President had 1t within his power
to effect that one anti-discrimina-
ton measure regardless of Con-
gress. The Presidents action will
steal their thunder and, in the
opinion of most Negro leaders, bring
that race focking to his banner.
About fifth of the Wallace dele
gates are Negroes.
The President is described as
seeking gradual approach rather
than trying to end long-estab-
lished practice by drastic fiat. The
armed services have agreed to this
approach and support his general
objective.
Politically, it is a shrewd move.
The President has little more to lose
in the South; he hopes for victory
from a combination of pivotal States
with the West and Midwest. In
Many of them Negroes hold the
balance of power if they will vote.
Would Stir COP.
1t would also stir the Republican
Congress powerfully on the civil
rights program, which they have the
votes to enact if they wish.
Washington has made other eff
forts to probe Wallace soft spots, in
cluding the right wing led by Rex
ford G. Tugwell, platform chairman,
who favored the Marshall Plan. But
the Communists routed him and Mr..
Tugwell pretends not to care. Any
way the purported administration
spokesmen appeared pretty far from
the throne.
Mr.. Wallace insists his right wing
will stay put and that he is in the
race to stay. Nobody who has
watched him here doubts the latter.
Meanwhile the convention ground
on in the appointed style toward
of the Wallace Taylor
ticket. In sense perhaps the coun-
try is lucky it is being held.
Seen as Safety Valve.
1t is allowing the discontended,
the unfortunate, the frustrated
idealists, the victims of discrimina-
ton, chance to blow off steam in
precisely the manner that has al
ways proved satisfying to Ameri-
cans. Down to the last microphone
hog and peanut shell, their show
faithfully reproduceS the Republi-
conference.-the pattern just seen in
the same hall.
Politicians can screen out the
Communist taint which appears
chiefly in the tenderness toward
Russia and various radical economic
proposals and learn what is annoy
ing the customers these days. Their
failure to heed will give Commu-
nists the chance to exploit.
This listening ear for the people,
whether they are right or wrong,
is service Mrs. Roosevelt formerly
performed for her husband and the
Democratic administration. Mr..
Roosevelt knew its value, though he
occasionally ribbed his peripatetic
wife by introducing her as Mrs.
Winslow Of Mrs. Winslows soothing
syrup" Democratic moguls some
times chafed under her bland in
sistence upon being heard but it
paid off at the polls.
