BY the Assesiatsd Press

WHITEHORSE, Yukon Terri
tory, Jan. 30.-More men and
machines were poured today into
the search for a missing United
States Air Force transport and
its AZ occupants.
Pace of the two-nation hunt,
already ranking as the largest
in the history of the frozen North,
was stepped up as 1t entered its
fourth day.
Reports of sub-zero tempera-
lures brought new fears for the
survival Of any of the planes oc-
cupants.
Temperature Is 10 Below.
Temperatures at Snag, a tiny
weather station 20 miles inside
the Yukon Territory from Alaska
over which the huge transport
made its last contact with the
outside, were 10 below zero last
night. Even colder readings were
In prospect.
The big, four-engine C-54 ra-
diced its position from Snag last
Thursday afternoon, about two
hours after leaving Anchorage,
Alaska, on a nonstop flight to
Great Falls, Mont.
Aboard were "a servicemen re-

Ground Party Checks Clues.
AS the long Arctic night called
q temporary halt to the gigantic
aerial search armada last night,
officials anxiously awaited word
from a ground party sent to inves-
tigate a lone clue to the planes

It came from a forest ranger in
an almost inaccessible spot ap-
proximately 20 miles to the south
west.
The ranger said he saw large |
plane overhead late Thursday,
then heard an earth-shaking thud,
an explosion and saw billowing
clouds Of smoke.
Air Commodore Martin Costello
of the Royal Canadian Air Force,
search co-ordinator here, described
the report as the most highly
probable" yet received.

Ho Chi Mimi Possible
Casualty in Bombing

SAIGON. Indo- China. Nov. IL.
French troops slashed out today
in a drive to recapture an outpost
of Moncay which they gave up
yesterday to Wet Mini forces of
Soviet-trained Ho Chi Mimi.
The French listed Ho Chi Mimi
himself as a possible casualty" Of
a French air attack yesterday at
another point, the town of Langxa,
but emphasized they had no cer-
tain proof.
Military sources said the coun-
terattack was aimed at a post 10
miles northwest of Moncay, east
ern coastal anchor of the recently
shortened North Indo-C China de-
fense line.
The Communicated Wet Mimi
troops. in forcing the evacuation

miles away.
The military spokesman said
Ho Chi Mimi may have been in
Langxa, 130 miles northwest of
Hanoi. when French bombers and
fighters attacked there yesterday.
The air strike was ordered in the
belief that an important Wet
Mini military conference was
being held there.
The French airmen all but
wiped out the village with more
than five tons Of explosives.
The small and poorly-equipped
French air force has been thrown

DEAR MIR. JOSEPH: Could you bring
us up to date on tipping practices?
ANSWER: I've been doing research on
tipping practices all over the world for the
past four years. The following tips are the
result of talks in about IS countries and
most of the states of the union since the
war.
The old 10 per cent rule in restaurants
is. in most places and in most cases, as
dead as the -fve-cent fare. Nowadays IS
per cent of the check is the average tip in
most frst-class restaurants in the US.
And the good old traditional dime is just
Evening star., 1950-07-30

about dead coin for most tipping pur-
poses, quarter having taken its place as
the average tip for bellhops, doormen, etc.
Let's get specific about categories:
TRAINS. A quarter is the minimum tip
for a dining-car waiter or waitress, and
that for breakfast or snack. For real
luncheon or dinner, IS cents to half
dollar per person is the usual tip. Give the
Pullman porter so cents per night, if
you're in berth, rs cents to dollar for
more expensive space. Tip the club-car
attendant about Is cents per drink. In
the station, give porters quarter per bag.
Evening star., 1950-07-30

That will take care of their regular charge,
plus something extra.
SHIPS. Tipping depends on the class
you're travelling in. First-class passengers
on transatlantic liners should tip $40 per
person to the cabin and dining steward,
SIS to the wine steward if he's served you,
So or So to the deck steward and ST to So
to boots" who shines your shoes every
night if you leave them outside your door.
Cabin class: SIS to the dining and cabin
steward, So to the wine steward, $l.50 to
the deck steward, 81 to boots
Tourist: So to cabin and dining stew

ards, ST to wine steward. and the same to
the deck steward and boots
If the head dining steward or his assis-
tant has done something special for you.
you can tip him SIS in first class, or So in
cabin or tourist. This is for special ser
vices only, and is not expected of all pas
sengers.
On cruises you usually give half your
total tip at the halfway point in your voy-
age, so that the stewards will have some
extra money for shopping in ports en-
route. This is in contrast to the practice
on regular ocean voyages when you usu-
ally tip at the end of the trip. (Bar stew
