Trustee Hopes Funds
Will Be Found 10 Save
'Wa|tham Watch Co.
BY the Associated Press

WALTHAM, Mass, Feb. A
trustees who helped revive the
century-old Waltham Watch Co
a year ago saw some hope today
of bringing it back again.
AS the oldest watch making
firm in the Nation closed its plant
and prepared to pay off its 1900
employees, Attorney Daniel j. Lyme,
who helped reorganize the COM
pany early in l949, said:
quite apart from the national
interest in salvaging precision
workers needed to shoot eff an
A-bomb or an H-bomb, there is
real reason to believe the problem
could be worked out by other
financing. The company has been
improving steadily"
During both World Wars the
Waltham plant was wholly con-
verted to turning out military
timing devices such as those used
in bombs and torpedoes.
"Sold Down River"
Mr.. Lyme accused the Recon-
struction Finance Corp. of selling
the firm down the river" by refus-
ing to extend another $2,000,000
in working capital to keep it going.
The RFC saved the company a
year ago through a loan of S.
100000. The loan was broken
down into three parts-$3, 900, 900
to pay off debts. 100000 for new
plant equipment and 100000 for
working capital.

firm to use the $2,000.000 ear

A petition for reorganization

Union Head Pessimistic.
Walter w. Cenerazzo, president

Union. independent, who threw
his support to the reorganization
a year ago. was not optimistic
about chances of reviving the firm.
"The situation looks black" he
said. 1T is with deep regret that
we find the worlds oldest pre-
cision watch company closing its
doors.
1--WE trust and hope that some
thing unforeseen will develop
within the Democratic admins
tration in Washington to make
them realize 1900 human beings

pany so many generations old"
Nicholson Hits Administration.
Twenty three hundred were en-
ployed by the firm when it closed
a year ago. Slightly more than,
half that number were re-em-
ployed when the plant reopened.
Representative Nicholson, Re-
publican, of Massachusetts, blamed
the closing on "bungling Of the
reciprocal trade program.
He said in a statement in Wash
ington that the Truman admins
tration failed to set up proper
safeguards to protect American
watchmakers from a flood Of
Swiss watches coming into this
country at prices far below the
cost of American producers.
Other New England industries,
he added, "are being throttled in
the same manner" to the advan-
tage of foreign producers.

Rescuers Battle Snow,
Take Out 40 Stranded
Motorists in Oregon
BY the Assoeioted Press

Rescue crews battled heavy
snow drifts in Oregon and Mon
tana today attempting to reach
scores of stranded motorists and
marooned farmers and ranchers.
More than SO persons were
stalled for several hours in their
cars and in bus on the Columbia
River highway after a blizzard
swept over the Columbia gorge in
Oregon last night.
Police and highway crews today
rescued about 40 snow-trapped
travellers near Bonneville Dam,
east of Portland. The last to reach
safety were taken into Hood River
by a Union Pacific streamliner
The train stopped along the high
way, which parallels the train
tracks, to pick up travellers from
the cars half buried in drifts. The
highway remained closed today.
Ski-Equipped Planes.
Ski-equipped planes flew over
Isolated farms and ranches In
Northern Montana and pilots pre-
pared to speed medical supplies
food and fuel to the marooned
residents. A critical food short
age was reported in some parts of
the Blackfoot Indian reservation
east of Glacier National Park.
sfhe storm brought snow, sleet
and freezing rains. Winds reached
velocity of IS miles an hour in
some areas in Oregon and Wash
ington.
Rain also fell in Northern Cali
fornia and in Southern and East
ern Texas. But elsewhere across
the country temperatures were
mostly normal. Below-zero read
ings were reported in parts of the
Dakotas, Minnesota and a few
points in the Northern Rockies.
Skies were clear in the food
areas of the East Central and
Southern States. Many of the
swollen rivers appeared reced1ng
or leveling off from their high
marks.
Many Still Homeless.
But about 10000 persons re-
manned homeless, including %, 900
in Arkansas and 10000 in Ken
lucky. The homeless in Tennessee
numbered 4,700; about 1900 in
Ohio; 900 in Southeast Missouri
and 100 in West Virginia.
The Ohio River at Cincinnati
stood at 57.3 feet, feet above
flood stage, and inched toward a
predicted crest of 50 feet. No Sc
rious damage was expected. Rivers
were reported falling in Tennessee
Kentucky and West Virginia.
Plans were ready for opening
the Bonnet Carre spillway, above
New Orleans. The Mississippi rose
to 1872 feet. Under law, the spill
way, designed to protect New Or
leans, must be opened in time to
prevent the river from rising
above the 20-foot danger mark.

New Plan for Checks
On ECA Follows
Warning by Hoffman
BY the Assoeioted 'ress

Paul Hoffman's statement that
American dissension over foreign
spending gives confidence to Com
munist fifth columnists met head
on today with a proposal for new
checks on Marshall Plan funds.
Senator Mcclellan. Democrat,
of Arkansas said he might offer
an amendment to the. Economic
Cooperation Administration Act
this year to earmark recovery
funds for specific use in each
country and for each commodity.
Senator Connally, Democrat, of
Texas already has called for a
cut of "at least $1,000,0o0, 900"
below the ECA appropriation last
year of $3,778,000,000.
Chairman McKellar of the Sen
ate Appropriations Committee has
said he hopes to cut at least 25
per cent out of ECA's present
budget request OF $3,100, 100000.
Mr.. Hoffman, ECA chief who
recently returned from abroad,
said yesterday that 'the slightest
rumor of conflict here-or the
hint that ECA may be termi-
nated-tends to build up Com
munist hopes for success in West
ern Europe"
Mr.. Hoffman conferred yester-
day with Secretary of State Ache
son and Senator Connally. He
told the Senator he hopes Con-
gress and the people will not
make up their minds on how
much ECA should be cut until
all the evidence is in.
The ECA head and Secretary
Acheson have been called to tes-
tify February 81 before joint
meeting of the Senate Foreign
Relations and the House Foreign
Affairs Committees.

Europe could not unite against

After that the empire tended
to break up with rulers of some
areas giving only lip service to

Some of theme were as far away

Among the more famous of
his successors was Kublai Kahn,
who ruled in China. Marco
Polo wrote of him to make him
well known in the West. In the

in the West mostly through
poets and dramatists, notably
Marlowe, whose play. "Tamer-
lane" is still studied in schools.
Tamerlane'S armies matched
those of Genghis Khan. His de-
feat of the Sultan who was
about to take Constantinople is
credited with extending the life
