Answer: I'm sorry, but this is
one of the most awkward situa-
tions in all of etiquette. There is
no name for him except John
Henry and no solution other than
the necessity of adding "sr." to
your name. In other words, it
would be much better to give him
a separate middle name. For ex-

SITUATION,
 ! STRIKES, I5 GLOOMY
No Apparent Progress To- ward Break k-Presidenf
 Is Not Intervening
(By the Associated Press)

Thickening gloom appeared to have smothered today any hope for early peace in the nations in- dustrial-crippling coal and steel strikes.
 Nowhere was there any apparent progress toward a break in either of the two major disputes as unem- mounted and more and more industries became hobbled. Come railroads prepared to curtail train services because of dwindling coal piles and layoffs continued in industries dependent upon steel 
 There was no indication that President Truman had decided to intervene in either strike but
 preading dislocations in the na- tion's economy made such action 5eem more and more likely.
 Charles G. Ross, the Presidents press secretary, said, however, he knew of no impending moves by the White House in either the coal or steel strikes.
 He added that he had no infor- nation to justify weekend published reports of early White House ac- tion.
 But out of the dismal weekend developments came settlement of two other strikes-the 45-day tieup of the Missouri Pacific railroad by train and engine men and the l76- day walkout of stevedores at five of six Hawaiian ports.
 But these settlements scarcely dented the nations total of nearly 100000 idle workers which Secre- might climb to 5,000,000 by Dec l unless the steel and coal strikes are settled meanwhile.

The W Washington Merry -Go Round
By DREW PEARSON


 iCopyright, 1s4s. by Bell Syndicate. 1nc.l WASHINGTON The last pres sure group you would ever expect to support President Truman's fa't deal is the National Association of Manufacturers. In fact, if the powerful NAM says anything good about the White House, it's head line news. However, believe it or not, but the NAM is now sending its members a confidential analysis of the most controversial feature of the fair deal-the Grammar Farm Plan-putting it in favorable light.
 Without hysteria, the NAM has prepared detailed, factual anal ysis of the Grammar Plan, which is neither for nor against. But the sum total of these facts is surpris- ingly pro-Brannan
 Though not yet off the press, preview copies have been to sev eral NAM members along with a letter explaining: Many, even though they recognize the import ance of the Grammar Plan, never theless found it too abstruse for ready understanding. To help rem edy this the NAM research depart ment has done painstaking an- alysis of the plans, ohjectives, op- ations, etc."
 Here then is what the NAM says about the Grammar Plan:
 Qualified persons have pointed to several apparent advantages in using the Grammar Plan to support farm income. They emphasize it's directness and simplicity of meth cd, fairness of the period 1889 to 1948 as starting point for an in- come base or 'yardstick,' encour- agelnent to continued high level production of nutritional foods, log ical classification of storablc and nonstorable farm products, orderly marketing provisions, financial coy- craze of farm groups hitherto in- adequately provided for in farm programs, and its importance to na- tional security.

MERCY PLANE FIGHTS WAY
 T0FREIGHTER
B-17 Esldpes Disaster Aft- CT Dropping Medical Sup-
 plies in North Pacific

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, oct. 24- R-A perilous mercy mission by a B-l7 Air Force bomter nearly ended in disaster Saturday night when downdraft caught the big plane above storm-lashed freighter in the North Pacific.
 The pilot, Capt Charles E. Hale of Winslow, Ind, reported later that the bomber, with eight men aboard, would have plunged into j0-foot icy waves if the four engines had not been at full power.
 The narrow escape of Hale and lis crew was an instant after they had parachuted medical supplies at mast-high level to the freighter Catherine M Goulandris, approxi- mately 100 miles south of Uminak Island in the Aleutians.
 The B-17 was dispatched from the Adak detachment of the 10th Rescue Squadron when the Gou- landris asked aid for a badly in jure sailor. The man, not identified by the Orient-bound cargo ship, was reported cut about the head and suffering from severe shock. He was hurt during the storm.
 DANGEROUS MISSION
 Headquarters here for the 10th Rescue Squadron said Hale's plane bored through freezing gale winds, fog and darkness for APO miles, finally locating the Goulandris by radar.
 During the flight and instrument descent the bomber's wings iced badly and severe turbulence made the aircraft difficult to handle. When it broke beneath the cloud bank it was less than 400 feet above the angry seas.
 Radar and radio contact guided the big plane to the freighter, five miles away. Bucking winds of 55 to 60 miles an hour and stinging rain, Hale made one pass" over the tossing ship for the parachute drop at g pm. (PST.
 As the chute caught in the Gou- landris' stern rigging, the B-17 hit the downdraft. The pilot managed to pull up just above the waves and headed for Uminak for land ing in the gale.
 Crewmen of the mercy plane were Hale, It. Murray c. Gillian, Jackson, Tenn; It. o. L. Matthews navigator; Sgt. B. B. Cairns, radar operator: and Its. Robert c. Buck ley and T. J. Morris. Squaoron headquarters listed only the home towns of Hale and Gillian.

By JACK DUNN

FIsHWHEEL, Alaska, Oct 24- R-Dozens of new prospectors- amaseur and professional con- tinued to pour into this scattered gold mining camp on the banks of the storied Yukon River today as the list of claimstakers swelled past the hundred mark.
 There are tents lining the river bank from five miles upstream to three miles downstream. The tenn perature dropped to IS degrees be- low zero last night.
 The men occupying the tents lit- erally dropped from the sky upon this hitherto unprospected area during the last three hectic days following disclosure that pea-sized nuggets were found in a fishwheel by Clifton Carol, when he started to dismantle the device for the winter.
 The race to stake claims left virtually no time for the main business at hand-the search for gold. That will come later. As a result. however, no one knows at this writing how good Alaska's latest gold strike actually is.
 A few persons who have done some banning report fisiing color" which consists of minute flakes of the precious metal with out commercial value. Two of those are Jim Brown and Jack White, coth originally from Bay City, Michigan, came to Fairbanks eight months ago. Their claims are above the point of Carols discovery.
 Carols fishwheel was located off the south river shore near the bank of long narrow island now known as Discovery Island. The twisting, meandering river is about two miles wide at this point, 20 miles south east of Fort Yukon, and is split into eight channels by numerous islands and sandcars. The terrain is generally flat, and the area is laced by tiny lakes and countless sloughs.
 On one occasion I counted eight planes on the ground and five in the air waiting to land. Bush pilots are making several trips daily to the island One flyer asserted that a control tower is needed here almost as much as pick and shovel.
 A light snow covered the whole countryside last night with ground fog swirling amid the trees and around the prospectors' tents. A small cluster of tents on Discovery Island are occupied by the holders of the IA claims which the island encompasses and by new arrivals who have had no time to stake out their own claims.
 Old timers, of whom there are many here, brought along Yukon stoves-five gallon cans with draft vents for burning wood-along with sleeping bags, tools and grub. Their shelters are comfortable gath ering places for prospectors who are talking hourly of one subject gold.
 Others who came equipped only with sleeping bags are not so com
