MONTICELLO, Ill Oct. 22.-tR-- The Rev. Bernard R. Hubbard, s J., the Glacier Priest says the late Dr. Frederick A. Cook may have reached the North Pole after all.
 The Rev. Hubbard told lecture audience here that more than 300 trips made over the pole in the last year or so hy the U. s. Air Force lear out pr. Cooks description oi tsse polar area ~ In fact, Rev. Hubbard faid that what the airmen have seen is closer to Cooks description than it is to that furnished by Adm. Robert E. Peary, generally credited with be- ing the first to reach the pole.
 Regarding the Peary-Cook con- troversy, Hubbard declared, "the important thing to remember IS that anyone who accepted the chal- lenge of the Arctic is worthy of the greatest consideration-whether he reached the pole or not
 Cook made his trip in April, 1908, anal Peary in April, 1909, Most AL manacs and encyclopedias credit Peary with being the first to reach the top of the world. But this, he said, is mainly because they get their information from the National Geographic Society, sponsor Of the Peary expedition.
 DESCRIPTIONS DIFFER
 The priest, whose most recent assignment was with the 10th Ali Rescue Squadron in Alaska, saic Fleary's description of the area around the north pole was that il was smooth and that the last several hundred miles were "easy going"
 In contrast, he continued, Cook said the region was broken up ir pressure ridges, ice blocks and oper water with rough terrain over which it is hard going
 Air Force observations coincide with Cooks description, Hubbard stated.
 pr. Cook died Aug. 5, 1940, at the age of 77, still seeking recognition of his claim to discovery of the pole. The discredit cast on his story when he first made his claims was deepened by his conviction on Texas oil fraud charges in 1925. He served five years of 14-year term IT Leavenworth Penintentiary, was paroled in 193O, and in l940 was granted full pardon by President Roosevelt.
 CLAIM OMITTED One of his last attempts to gair recognition was embodied in a lettel to the American Geographical So. ciety in 1886. seeking a full ant impartial investigation" of his story of discovery.
 Congress retired Peary as an Ad' miral on the strength of his ex- petition, but a clause designating him as discoverer of the pole was deleted from the bill before Il , passed.
 At Portland, Me, Admiral Peary's widow, Mrs Josephine D. Peary discounted Father Hubbards req son for saying Dr. Cook might have discovered the pole, rather than her husband

Large Search On For B-29 Down In Sea Near Bermuda

HAMILTON, Bermuda, (P) - The biggest peacetime air rescue search in history was under way yesterday for a lost B-29 bomber which ran out of fuel and crash landed in the sea somewhere near Bermuda Wednesday. 20 U. s. air men were aboard. None were from the Pacific Northwest.
 Nearly 100 air force, navy and coast guard planes from bases all along the Atlantic seaboard criss- crossed above Bermuda's sur rounding waters hoping for sight of the stricken bomber or bobbing liferafts.
 First search patrols Wednesday afternoon were fruitless.
 The last word from the super fortress, whose navigation instru- ments failed on a flight to Eng land. was radio message; going to ditch in five minutes.
 After that message Wednesday morning a U. s. coast guard ves- sel heard weak sos signals-spur- ring hopes that the crewmen had take nto rubber life rafts equipped with automatic wireless distress signallers.
 The plane, part of B-29 group enroute to England from March air base, California, lost it's way when its radio navigation equip ment failed and it encountered bad weather. U. s. officials at Kindley air base here thought it probably went down 150 miles southwest or northeast of Bermu- da.

 The typhoon, one of the worst in years in the Pacific, was cen tered 45 miles south of Guam and moving west northwest at about IT miles an hour.

Iantic treaty countries are map ping a single strategic defense plan in Washington today
 Under the chairmanship of sec retary of state Acheson the dele gates are considering secret plans drafted by their military officials to defend the western world.
 The Shah of Iran. whose coun- try borders on the Soviet Union, has scheduled talks with Gen. Omar Bradley and other defense chiefs. He is discussing his coun- try'S need for increased military assistance.
 Iran is not a member of the North Atlantic defense grouping However, it shares in the vast American arms aid program for friendly nations. The young Shah said yesterday his cOuntry's rela- tions with Russia had improved somewhat recently.
 The state department is expect ed to make new efforts to obtain the release of Consul General An gus Ward, now languiShing in a Chinese Communist prison in Mukden. President Truman said yesterday Wards detention is an outrage.
 The communist radio said Ward was jailed with four members of his staff on Oct. 24 because he beat Chinese employee in wage dispute.
 American officials are boiling mad over the incident. Washing ton observers said the state de- partment may dispatch note to Moscow asking Russian interven- ton with the Chinese Reds. Mos COW is believed to have far great CT influence and control over the Mukden area of China than ele- ments of the new regime of Mao Tze-Tung.
 The United States has not recognized the new communist re- gime. Secretary of State Acheson said he would not even consider recognition while Ward is impris- Oned. The Chinese communists have tied themselves closely to Moscow and the Kremlin has full diplomatic relations with them and is Championing the new re- public's cause at the United Ma tions.
 Following a U. N. general as- sembly plenary session yesterday, Russia's Andrei Y Vishinsky had a 15-minute talk with Britain's minister of state Hector McNeil. The results of the talks were not disclosed but observers said Bri- tain is taking the lead in efforts to see whether Russia is willing to compromise on some of the dead locked east-weSt issues.

threat of an injunction has been
used as an anti-union weapon.
The broad prohibitions against
secondary boycotts have prevented
and obstructed many legitimate and
peaceful activities by labor unions.
Mass picketing has been declared
illegal without an attempt to define
how many pickets are permissible
and the so-called "free speech" pro-
vision of the Hartley Act has
given employers free license to vii
lily, discredit and defame labor
unions seeking collective bargain
ing rights in plant elections.
The convention condemned the
Taft Hartley Act on all these
counts and many others, but it
didn't stop there. It called upon
the rank and file of union members
to get ready to fight back to pro-
tect their economic interests. The
next immediate battlefront is the
congressional campaign of 1850. We
are preparing again to take our
case to the American people and
to make repeal of the Taft-Hartley
law the paramount issue of next
years political campaigns.
Borrowing a phrase from Presi-
dent Truman's message to this con-
vention, ''Taft Hartley repeal is
unfinished business-not
the business of the labor movement
alone, but that of every fair-mind
ed citizen of our land"
With the help of the voting pub
lie, we are determined to finish
that business shortly after the next

with it will be a political drive to
prevail upon all of the 100000
members of the American Fedora
ton of Labor to make certain to
register and vote in the 1850 con-
gressional elections and elections
for members of the state legisla-
lures.
Labor has been taking such a
beating in Congress and the state
legislatures in recent years through
the enactment of repreSsive and
restrictive laws that the trade
union movement is determined to
launch concentrated effort to cor
rect the situation and obtain justice
for the nations workers. So we
are going back to first principles
organize the unorganized and get
out the vote.
In order to qualify to vote, each
citizen must register. Unfortunate
ly many millions of our citizens in
the past have neglected to do So.
The American Federation of Labor,
through it's political arm, Labors
League for Political Education, will
undertake a nationwide registra-
ton drive next year and will do
its utmost to bring out the highest
possible registration and record
breaking vote in 1850.
Needless to say, the convention
again called upon Congress to re-
peal the Taft-Hartley Act. The
delegates were informed that since
the act went into effect, Sc court
injunctions have been sought in
labor-management disputes, but of
those only 2 were against employ
ers. The 81 were against unions.
