For 0rviIIe Wright
BY the Assoeioied Press

DAYTON, Ohio, Jan. 31.-Orville
; Wright will be buried Monday be-
side his brother, Wilbur, who helped
him build and fly the first success
full airplane.
Funeral services for the pioneer
aviator, who died last night, will be
held at 2:30 pm. in the First Bap-
fist Church, of which he was
member. Burial will be in Woodland
Cemetery here. DR.. Charles l.. Sea-
sholes, church pastor, will conduct

Mr.. Wright, rs, died in his sleep
at Miami Valley Hospital of a lung
congestion and heart ailment. He
had entered the hospital Tuesday
after heart attack, the second In
recent months.
Wilbur Wright, the older of the
two famous brothers, died in 1912.
The 12-second flight of their plane
at Kitty Hawk, N. c., December II,
1903, led to development Of the
modern airplane.
Not only was Mr.. Wright the first
man to fly an airplane, but he and
his brother, working almost COM
pletely from their experiments, de-
signed and built their first craft.
Going further than most inventors
of their day, they followed up their
first test with a constant expert
mentation to improve their product
They advanced the airplane from q
wild experiment to practical
means of transportation.
Out of their years of experiment.
ing came a fiin1sy, kitelike biplane
of wood, wire and cloth, powered
by a suffering motor that powered
two crude propellers.
Then on that December morning
In 1908, they started their little
motor on the sand dunes of North
Carolina and with Orville Wright at
the controls, their plane began
humping down shore track made
of 2 by inch scantlings spliced
together. A few seconds later, man
had made his first powered flight
covering distance of 100 feet in
IL seconds.

Columbus Conference
Today 10 Map Wallace
Campaign in Ohio
By Gould Lincoln

Henry A. Wallace is launching
the Ohio phase of his campaign for
the presidency at a statewide con-
ference in Columbus today.
The conference is being held
under the auspices of an Ohio
Wallace-for- President Committee,
and Mr.. Wallace will be the prin-
cipal speaker Wallace supporters
claims he will draw large Ohio
vote; particularly in some of the
States industrial centers.
The third party candidate, who
will have the Endorsement Of the
American Labor Party in New York,
Is going to bat for the ALP candi-
date for the House in the oath New
York Congressional District, in the
Bronx. The election is to fill q
vacancy created by the resignation
of Representative Rabin. democrat.
Mr.. Wallace is to speak for Lee
Isaacson, ALP nominee, February
Is.
Later on the same day, Mr.. WAL
lace will speak at the Golden Gate
Auditorium, in Harlem, under the
auspices Of the Harlem Wallace for
President Committee.
Mr.. Wallace last week announced
the formation of National Wal
lace-for-P President Committee, to be
headed by former Gov. Elmer A.
Benson of Minnesota.
The organizational work for Mr..
Wallace Is being pressed rapidly in
many parts Of the country. Com
bined with 1t is the drive for. a
third party, whose candidate Mr..
Wallace will be in as many states
as new party can get on the
ballot.
Taft to Swing Throughout Midwest.
On the Republican side of the
fence, the fight for the presidential
nomination is increasing in tempo.
Senator Taft of Ohio, will begin a
nine day speaking tour through
the midwest week from Tuesday.
He will visit Indiana. Minnesota,
Iowa, Nebraska and Colorado.
Particular interest has been
aroused by Senator Taft's plan to
speak in st. Paul, Mimi, the home
of former Gov. Harold e. Stassen,
who has challenged Senator Taft in
the Ohio primary where delegates
will be elected to the Republican
National Convention. Senator Taft
also will speak in Omaha, Neb
where Mr.. Stassen already has said
he will enter the presidential pref
erential primary and enter a slate
of Stassen delegates. Senator Taft
along with other prominent candi-
dates for the COP nomination, also
is expected to be entered In that
primary. He has the backing of
Senator Butler Of Nebraska, and his
strong organization.
Mr.. Stassen has just concluded a
speaking trip through the New Eng
land States in his quest for conven-
ton delegates. He and Gov. Dewey
of New York will fight 1t out, in the
New Hampshire primary on March
9. A number of the supporters OF
Gen. Eisenhower in that State have
transferred their support of Stassen.
Nevertheless, Gov. Dewey has long
had strong support there and is ex-
pected to have a majority of the
States delegation with him.
Gen. Eisenhower,s statement that
he Is not available and could not
accept a presidential nomination has
generally been accepted as removing
him finally from the race for the
COP nomination, although some OF
the die-hards in the organization
which had been launched for Eisen-
hover still continue to hope he may
be drafted"

30 Pushed Off Ship Die

By the Associated Press

HONG KONG, Jan. 31.-A small
fire aboard the coastal steamer
Kwantung at a Hong Kong wharf
caused a stampede tonight in which
about 80 Chinese were pushed Oh

Taper into the nearest garbage can,

I The injured worker, who claimed
that his tap" that started all the
trouble in the first place was only

Bureau Of Employees Compensation
for compensation benefits. But his
request was denied on the grounds
that he brought the injury on him.
self by his "horseplay."
This decision, however, has been
reversed by the appeals board, which
says in effect that boys will be boys
and that "horseplay" frequently oc-
ours when workmen get together.
Stated the appeals board:
1.-THE injury appears to have re-
suited from a friendly scuffle while
the employees were standing in line,
or, perhaps more accurately, as
the result Of a misunderstanding
gesture"
And, adds the board, there GER
tainly was no evidence that the one
engaged in "horseplay" was guilty
of willful misconduct or that he in
tended ito kill himself or another
by his love-tap.
Maybe not, but We can't think of
a more sure-fire way of getting
yourself killed eventually than by
continually pounding your co-work-
ers in playful fashion. It's strange,
but some people just don't like that
sort of thing. No sense of humor,
you know.
REDUCTIONS-The Budget Blu
reau discloses that it expects that
the Federal payroll will only be re-
duced by 5000 employees between
June 80, 1913, and June, 80, 1919.
And much of this reduction will
take place outside the continental
United States.
The reason for the relatively
small net reduction is the expected
hiring of additional personnel to
administer the European Recovery
Program. OF course, If Congress
should sharply cut the various l94s
budget requests, the 5000 figure
would be revised considerably up
ward.
But the first 1949 appropriations
measure-the Independent Ofices
Appropriations bill-didn't affect
employment adversely at all in more
than a score of agencies. And Gov
eminent officials are hoping that
some of the other Federal bureaus
will fare as well al" the hands OF
the House Appropriations Commit
tee.

MIME APOLIS, May a.
Sciences super-sleuth-the electron
xicroscope-has solved a tricky case
of mistaken identity involving two
rascals Of the germ world, the society
Of American Bacteriologists has been
told.
The powerful "eyes" Of the scope
have detected q definite difference
between two organisms that look
exactly alike under an ordinary
microscope-and which have con-
fused some investigators.
The organisms are:
l. The germ that causes syphilis
2. The germ that causes "pinta"-
or "mal de los pintos"-a Skin
disease that occurs in Mexico and
Cuba.
DR.. Juan ]. Angulo and colleagues
OF the university of Havana, and oi
the Squibb Institute for medical
research, New Brunswick, N. j.
made the report.
They said "pinta" has been re-
garded by some investigators as 9
clinical form Of syphilis found ir
the tropics-because Of the fact
that germs isolated from a patient
look just like syphilis germs under
a regular microscope.

1T MEANS:
Plan To InteTnatiOnalize The
Antarctic
BH ROBERT Z. GEIGER


WASHINGTON - The u mite d
States has proposed international
control of the Antarctic continent,
twice as large as the United States.
The proposal was made to the
seven nations now claiming pie
wedge slices of the ice-cOvered con-
tinent, cOldest on earth.
The State Department says the
United States never has made any
formal claims to a portion of Ant
arctica but reserves rights.
These are based on discovery and
exploration. An American, Capt
Charles Wilkes of the U. S. Navy,
was first to identify the great mass
of ice and snow at the South Pole
as a continent. That was 10 years
ago. The other seven nations
Great Britain, Chile, Argentina,
France, Norway, New Zealand and
Australia-have made claims based
on exploration or administration.
They left one wedge of the con-
tinent unclaimed.
What international control may
mean the State Department has not
explained Does it mean the setting
up of some sort of control commits
sion representing all the nations OF
the world? Or would only the seven
claimants and the United States be
included in the commission? Would
Antarctica's treasures be divided
among the nations?
The State Department said only
that an agreement is necessary to
promote scientific investigation and
research. Officials say the proposal
lis exploratory and that if a plan is
approved in principle the details
will be worked out at conferences.
There have been rumors that
precious materials such as uranium
and gold have been found in Ant
arctica, and the continent is be-
lieved to have vast coal deposits.
American officials have denied ur-
