Aaster initiation.
Addressing a discussion meet
ing presided over by Marx
Lewis, executive vice-president
of the Hatters Union-AFL,
George Soule, an editor of the
New Republic in its pre-Wallace
era. said that economists like Sir
William Beveridge have popu-
larized programs for meeting
depressions democratically but
comparable plans to cope with
initiation have not been sold" to
the people.
Increased government bor-
rowing to pay for the defense
program will add to high costs,
he warned, unless price control
and rationing of scarce indus
trial and consumer goods is
quickly reinstituted. The con-
Atxols must be effective enough
To prevent black marketeering,
Soule pointed out.
Blames President Truman
Stupidity and political con-
servatism," Soule said, resulted
in the premature lifting of con-
trolls in 1916. He blamed Tru-
mans abandonment of rationing
as well as the Republicans de-
struction of OPA for the spirall-
ing of cost since the wars end.
Assuming that we avoid war,
the recov very program puts
Europe back on its feet, and that
then relaxed, planning and a
government public works pro-
gram will be required to pre-
vent a rapid decline in indus
trial employment, Soule ex-
planned. In the meantime, it is
of the utmost importance that
materials not required for de-
Y Be and foreign policy pro-
gram be channelled into indus
tries producing for the needs of
average people.
Hyman Bookbinder, assistant
director of res earch of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers
.CIO, called attention to the tax
reduction bill which had just
passed Congress. That it will
have exactly the opposite re-
suits from the sort of tax bill
which would be a part of Soules
program was clear when Book
binder showed that the $780,

pay has been increased from
$1,000 to $1,000 week, while
the $3O00-a-year workers has

taking soda, not pop, at frequent
intervals during the day, Maybe
his stomach has butterflies, or it
gives him more power to pull his
truck around. We mean the new
trucker.
What happened to lot of the
people from the Sanitizer line

You are right, until proven
wrong is Dave Warmers theory.

NO TRACE FOUND
 OF MISSING PLANE
 WITH 30 ABOARD

MIAMI, Fla, Dec. 29-LR-Hope faded rapidly today for a charter airliner missing more than 24 hours on flight from San Juan, Puerto Rico, to Miami, with 30 persons aboard
 A fleet of 37 air force, navy and coast guard planes went out at dawn to resume an intensive search over the 1,200-mile air route to San Juan and famed out over the Florida peninsula and the eastern Gulf of Mexico.
 The official passenger list, re- leased at San Juan last night, named 25 passengers and crew of three as aboard the missing craft. Earlier Airborne Transport, Inc. of New York, which leased the, plane, said two infants in arms also were aboard.
 Many of the passengers who boarded the plane at San Juan Monday were described as Puerto Ricans returning to the Unit d States after holiday visits to rela- tives.

To Attack Alaskan 7o1un in Mimic Warfare
Human "Guinea Pigs 10 Come
 To Alaska

SEATTLE, Dec. 29.-lR-The ef- fleets of Arctic cold on the human body and mind will be studied for two years in Alaska, the University of Washington reported today.
 Human guinea pigs" will go to the Territory this winter to start the project. Dr. Loren D. Carlson of the University's Department of Physiology and Biophysics said the contract for the study had been awarded by the Air Surgeons office of the Air Force.
 Because Alaska is primarily an air base from military stand point, the Air Force is keenly in terested in finding out the limits of body reactions under conditions of extreme cold" Dr. Carlson said.
 Headquarters will be at Ladd Field, Fairbanks, and the expedi- tion will leave for the site Jan uary 15.

COMMUNIST ACT5 GET DERlS!0N OF
 OFFICIAL OF U. 5.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-R-- Undersecretary of State Lovett says Communist Hungary's arrest of Joseph Cardinal Mindszenty was a sickening sham.
 He also attacked as unthinkable the label of war criminals placed hy the Chinese Communists on Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek and other Nationalist leaders.
 Lovett assailed Communist actions in Europe and the Far East at a news conference.
 He also reported that Madame Chiang Kai-shek had called on him at the State Department Mon day to renew her requests for great new American assistance to Chinas nti-Communist forces. She has been in this country for several weeks to solicit additional aid for her husbands government.
 On the other points Lovett said that.
 l. Negotiations with Canada and the Western European nations on a North Atlantic Security Pact are going along at satisfactory rate.
 2. Press reports on Marshal Ti- to's threat to switch Yugoslay trade from the Communist bloc to the Western nations have been seen at the State Department. In this connection Lovett reaffirmed the American belief in the general de- sirability of East West trade in Eu- rope.
 Loyett was asked to comment on the arrest of Cardinal Minds zenty by Hungary's Communist government. The Cardinal was ar rested Monday on charges of spy ing, treason, and related crimes.
 Lovett said the United States regards the arrest as the culmina- tion of long series of actions by the Hungarian government against personal, human, and now religious freedoms. It has been going on a long time, ne said, and this is the climax.

Emergency Session May Decide Future of China
 -Formosa Fortified
(By The Associated Press)

Chiang Kai-shek called his mili- tary leaders to. an emergency ses- sion at Nanking today to decide whether to resign, surrender to the conquering Communists, or keep up the war.
 An hour of great decision, about the future of China, and perhaps the world, was at hand. Commun- ist underground agencies were re- ported hard at work within two miles of Ranking when the confer ence was called.
 A hint that Chiang might fight on was seen in the appointment ot Gen. Chen Cheng, former army chief of staff, as Governor of For mosa. The big island of the main land is fast Icing turned into Ma tionalist fortress. More rumors of a negotiated peace swept the tur- bulent country but high officials denied the reports. The Navy and Air Force already have moved some headquarters units to Formosa.

AIR FORCE PROUD OF
 BIG RESCUE
Twelve Marooned Airmen Snafthed from Ice Cap
 Within 38 Minutes

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-(Rt-The Air Force proudly counted among it's achievements today the daring rescue of 12 marooned airmen from a bleak 7,800-foot Greenland ice cap.
 The hero of the new northland saga is 32-year It. Col. Emil J. Beaudry, of Manchester, N. H. He landed his big specially-equipped CAT transport on the wind-swept cap yesterday and in 38 minutes was airborne again with a dozen jutilant passengers.
 Long hours later however only the sketchiest details of the dramatic operations were known here.
 But before communications out of the frozen northland failed word came through that the rescued men were safe and apparently sound at Bluie West Eight-an Air Force base in southwest Greenland.
 Seven of the men had been stranded since December 9, when their own CAT was forced down. Three previous rescue attempts re- suited only in adding five more men to the encampment.
 The rescue came before the Air Forces top Arctic Expert, Col. Bernt Balchen, had a chance to try his hand at the job. Balchen flew a glider er-equipped C-54 from Ladd Field, Fairbanks, Alaska, to Green land, for the task.
 Yesterdays rescue was the second major northland exploit for Beaud- ry, who won the Air Medal and Distinguished Flying Cross in World War II as a bomber pilot over Eu- rope.
 On Dec. 26, 1e47, Beaudry pileted a plane to Dykes Lake in Labra- dor, and picked up nine survivors seven Air Force men and two civil ians-whose B-17 had been forced down in that barren land three days earlier.

Conirad Is Leifor Worlds 'sFifst Aicmicpower Unit 10 Be Used
 For Purpose of Transportation

PITTSBURGH, Dec 29.-tR- The Westinghouse Electric Corpor- ation today undertook a govern ment commission to build the worlds first atomic power unit for transportation purposes.
 The assignment was handed the company by the Atomic Energy Commission
 Primary goal oI s..1 project will be the development of a power plant for the propulsion of U. s. Navy ships by means Of a nuclear reactor-a uranium furnace with function quite similar to ships fireboxes that consume coal or oil.
 Although final terms of the contract between the company and the Chicago office of the Con- remain to be determined, Charles H. Weavoy, he'd of Vest inghouse's newly formed atomic power division said work on the atomic engine would start within the next few months"
 The completion date, however, was a matter of may be two years, or 1t might be five or six, said Weavoy,
 Construction of the nuclear re- actor" the Westinghouse official said, marks the beginning of the development of atomic energy in the transportation field Our ef- forts, however, will be directed to- ward putting the reactor in a ship. We're trying to build ships cover plant that will burn uran- um instead of coal or oil.'
 According to an official of of he Atomic Energy Commission in the ship propulsion project will not be the first non- weapon development of atomic power undertaken.
 A previously announced project 1t Schenectady, N. r., he said, in- Jolves the development of re- actor by General Electric for use n the production of commercial electric power.

SAILORS 10 RESUME WAGE SCALE TALKS
 WITH SHIp0WNERS

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 29.-R- Federal mediator omar Hoskins said AFL sailors and Pacific Coast shipowners would resume wage talks today.
 Hoskins said progress was made in yesterdays session but gave no details.
 The sailors have postponed a strike ballot for a week at Hos kinS' request.
 The sailors are demanding wage boosts ranging from $20 to $60 a month for the many pay classifica- tions of deck hands. Shipowners offered $16 to $35.
 There is an indication that the wage dispute between West Coast shipowners and the AFL Sailors Union of the Pacific may be ironed out. Union Chief Harry Lunde- berg, said last night that shipown- CTS had made what he termed pretty fair proposition during yes terday's negotiations in San Fran cisco. Lundeberg didn't disclose the details, but union negotiators are taking some time to think over the proposal.
