Northwest Airlines Radio Operator Threaten Strike

TOKYO, (F) - Radio operators on Northwest Airlines' interna- tional flights threatened to strike yesterday. One plane was delayed five and a half hours.
 Leslie Osborne, assistant Orient traffic manager for Northwest, said the radio operators agreed to work pending cabled instructions from union officials in Minneap- oils.
 A. D. Piepgras, company comp troller here, said all aspects of the dispute would be handled by NorthWests head office in Mime apolis
 The company said notice of a strike was received but it con tained no demands. Haneda air ports dispatched said. however, the radiomen were demanding the same rate of pay received by oper- ators for other airlines.
 A Northwest plan from Alaska which arrived at 4:30 a.m., took off for Seoul. Korea, at 9 am. It was scheduled to leave at 5:30.
 Piepgras said this plane would return from Seoul late yesterday and today's flight from Manila to Alaska via Tokyo probably would be made on schedule.
 Northwest is installing air to ground facilities that eventually will eliminate radio operators in plane crews, Piepgras said later, and the dispute centers on sever ance pay.
 Approximately Is flight radio operators are employed in the Orient by Northwest, he said.

New Zealand literally tore out the labor government which has been in the little British Com monWealth for IA years.
 The election result takes on added significance in that two other Commonwealth nations with labor rgovernments-Australia and Britain itself-face the electorate i nthe next six months.
 The Labor regime of Prime Minister Peter Fraser which prid- ed itself on its advanced social legislation went down in the groundswell of anti-labor senti ment. The people appeared tired of government controls.
 New Zealand is tied strongly to Australia, her nearest neighbor and to Britain by sentimental, po- litical and economic bonds. The Labor governments of the three commonwealth nations have long worked in friendly concord.
 The defeat of the labor party in New Zealand does not necessarily mean the same result will follow in the other countries where the issues are somewhat different.
 The Australian general election will be held Dec. 10. The British labor government of Prime Min ister Clement Attlee is expected to call an election next spring. The election must be held before

Death Toll From Plane Crashes Rises Rapidly
By the Associated Press

The crash of an American Air lines plane at Dallas today raised the death toll from major civilian and military air accidents in the past month to more than 200. Twenty-eight persons were be- lieved killed at Dallas.
 1t was one of the worst months for aviation in peacetime history.
 Just about month ago on Nov l, an Eastern Airlines plane and a P-38 fighter collided near Washington, D. C., killing all 5l passengers and a crew of four on the DC-4
 Three days before a PariS-NeW York transatlantic airliner crash ed in a flaming heap against a mountain peak in the Azores. The 48 dead included Marcel Cerdan, former French and world middle weight boxing champion.

ment, babies vary a great deal with respect to the time when they begin to do certain things"
 That is the expert opinion of pr Donovan J. McCune, Professor of Pediatrics at Columbia University and Childcraft writer.
 An attending pediatrician at the Babies Hospital in New York City, he has the opportunity to observe hundreds of infants closely every year.
 According to Dr. McCune, "ba- bies seem to follow the same gen. eral pattern of development, des- pite differences in the time of beginning" Here is the outline he gives for their progress:
 1. When lying on his abdomen,
 the newly born infant can usu-
 ally raise his head briefly, but
 cannot do so if he is lying
 on his back.
 2. During the first four months,
 he can lift his head backward
 with greater and greater eff
 ciency, but he usually cannot
 lift it forward until he is about ;. four months of age.
 3. A month or two later, at from
 five to six months, he can sit
 upright with a little support. 4. By seven or eight months, 8
 baby can maintain a sitting
 posture without aid for short
 time and pull himself back in-
 to it if he falls over.

 Chungking. which held out against the Japanese invaders throughout the weary war years, was in the grip of the revolution ary armies of Mao Tze-Tung to- day.

Chiang Kai-Shek was leading his troops in the defense of Chung king according to last direct re- ports from that city, the third na- tionalist capital hit this year.
 In Rome, communist labor un- ion leaders called 5,000,000 Ital- ian workers to go out on 24-hour general strike tomorrow. The strike is in protest of the staying of two peasants in a clash with police in Italy's deep-south. Po- lise clashed with peasant squatters trying to take over farmland near Bari.

 WASHINGTON - A mountain in the shadow of Alaska's famed Mount Mckinley, and glacier l2 miles long, soon may bear the sur name of the late Joseph Crosson, pioneer Arctic bush pilot.
 Another Alaskan mountain may be named for the late Tom White, a founder, explorer and developer of the Territory's Katalla oil and coal field.
 The board on geographic names said it would consider the prOpos- als on or about Dec. l.
 The proposed Mount CroSson stands at an elevation at 12,780 feet, at the head of Kahiltna Gla- cier. Crosson Glacier extends to the northwest.
 Crosson died recently in retire ment at Seattle. He was the hero of many a dramatic mercy flight in the northland and a former manager of Pan-American Air ways in Alaska.
 Crosson was one of the first persons to fly over Mount McKin- ley-highest peak in the United States-which is almost 10 miles to the northeast of Mount Crosson and Crosson Glacier.
 Alaskan explorer Bra f O d Washburn proposed to the board that the flier's name be approved.
 The Cordova, Alaska, chamber of commerce and the Cordova town council asked that a 10000 foot peak east of Cordova-about five miles east of the head of Miles Glavier and 20 miles northwest of Mount Steller-be named Mount Tom White.
 White visited Alaska twice with the St. Elias expeditions of the geological survey and National Geographic Society, and on the second visit in 1891 remained to try to find gold.
 Instead he found the Katalla field. He also took part in surveys, railroad construction and develop ment of the lower Copper River area north of Cordova.
 The board also will try to decide whether the five-mile-long creek flowing southwestWard into the Tok River. about 212 miles above the mouth of Shindata Creek, in Alaska should be known as BOul- der, Silver or Stibnite.

Why Not State Control?

With the passage this week of a local "black market"
tax of 10 percent on liquor sales, Pascagoula becomes the
third city in Mississippi to follow the lead of the state gov
eminent in placing a tax on a product whose sale is pro-
hibited by law. This action once again underlines the abb
surdity of the states prohibition laws, and pictures us as
an ostrich with our head buried deep in the sand.
We will not debate the merits or dement's of the local
law taxing liquor sales. We will say, however, that we
know of no better cause than the financing of a city-wide
recreation program that revenues from such a tax could
be put to, as will be the case in Pascagoula.
The state BLACK market tax was passed at the 1914
session of the legislature at the behest of the late Gov.
Thomas L. Bailey, who said it was designed to chase the
twin evils of bootlegging and black marketing out of the
state of Mississippi.
Black marketing died with the abolition of rationing
and price controls. AS for the liquor traffic, it has continu-
ed to prosper and grow with the state taking approximate
ly one-million dollars in taxes from the illegal traffic in
1948.
The prosperous wholesale bootleggers, of course, want
conditions to stay as they are. AT every session of the leg
islature they wage an undercover fight against any pro-
posed adjustment of prohibition, for adjustment of pro-
hibition and state control of the liquor traffic would break
up a lucrative racket that has added a number of million
aires to the states list of more wealthy citizens, including
several along the Gulf Coast.
The present situation, in which an illegal traffic is
given a semilegal status through taxation by the state it.
self, as we'll as municipal subdivision, gives rise to the taw-
dry and vicious joints that line the highways approaching
every city of any size in Mississippi. A large part of our
crimes of violence stem from these joints, and they consti-
tute a moral and health menace to our young people.
Adjustment of our meaningless state prohibition laws,
and passage of an intelligent local option bill under which
state control of the liquor traffic could be effected, would
not only clean up a situation that annually grows worse,
but would also yield to state and municipal Golfers tax
revenues that would be substantial. AT the same time it
would take the state and municipalities out of a tax col
lecting racket that, in its own way, is as bad as the liquor
racket itself.

Dear Sir:
What is wrong with our school
trustees in Vaneleave? They let
the principal out in the middle
Of the term and replaced him.
He was asked for his resignation
supposedly on the grounds of bad
management. Strange it would
take a period of about one and
one-half years to discover that.
Now they fire all the teachers
except the new principal, and
the two grammar school teachers,
one who has not even got a de
gree.
None of the teachers has been
given a reason for being dis
missed, except one teacher who
was told that she had been too
friendly with the former prin-
cipals wife VINO is still employed
by the school as a teacher. Strange
they would put someone to work
beside you and expect you to
ignore them.
The paint job is looking like a
End hand one. The auditorium
paint is beginning to flake off
all over. The entire job already
needs repainting, and we should
not have had to worry about
paint for six or eight years. But
somebody must have been asleep
or just did not care.
The majority OF the folks with
whom l have talked think that
both of these situations need in

take an interest. You are helping

Throngs Of Spectators View Carnival
Floats In Parade On Friday Afternoon

Throngs of spectators lined the
streets in both Pascagoula and
Moss Point on Friday afternoon
to view the parade of carnival
floats as they proceeded through
the downtown district of both
cities.
Paced by the Ocean Springs
nigh school band, IL floats car
ried out the theme of the legend
Of the Singing River. On the last
two floats were the rulers of the
DIV and the Hi-Jinx carnival
balls, followed by the Pascagoula
high school band.
This is the first carnival pa
rade to be held in Pascagoula or
Moss Point in years and was
highly successful. Early in the
year the Business and Profession
al Women's club adopted the
project of reviving a local cele-
bration of Mardi Gras and with
the cooperation of the city Off
cials, the officials of law enforce
ment, and both civic and social
organizations they staged one of
the most popular parades ever
held here.
Officials of the sponsoring club
express themselves as grateful to
the organizations and individuals
who assisted in making the I'M
dertaking successful.
Due to the inelement weather
on Thursday evening the street
dance which was scheduled to be
held in front of the court house
was moved to the Fireman's Hall.
The constant downpour of rain
did not dampen the spirit of the
jewellers as the dance proved to
be a gala affair.
Miss Shirley Mae Buffkin was
awarded the first prize for her
costume and Miss Hazel Walters
was awarded the second prize,
while Ray Linton was the third
place winner.
All of the prizes were contrib
uted by local merchants. A COM
mittee composed of Mesdames
Joe Cole, Oliver Cole and Charles
Moe served as judges.
The carnival season with its
attendant Mardi Gras observances
is n of the most cherished ira
ditions of the Coast and it is the
hope of the B&PW that this pa
rade is but the forerunner OF
larger and more spectacular pa
rades to be held in the future.
