An sos radio signal from the fishing boat Jewell was heard by MT. and Mrs. Richard Birch at Security Cove on Sunday at 8:30 pm. and this morning the Coast Guard plane based at Annette started an air search for the boat.
 Aboard the Jewell were Leonard Horn and Bill O'Neill. The men left Warm Springs Bay on Sunday at SIS pm. and had planned to sail through Peril Straits to Sitka. This first radio distress message heard by the Birchs was that the Jewell was shipping water and then the men said the boat was sinking.
 News of the missing ship was brought to Coast Guard headquart- CTS by Captain Walter Sperl of the mailboat Yakobi.
 Another Boat Reported
 The Coast Guard plane will search in this area for the fishing vessel, Alaska Maid which is long overdue at Sitka. The Alaska Maid, captain ed by Louis Basco left Juneau on October 13 for Sitka and has not been heard of since. The Ida II was being lowed to Sitka by the Alaska Maid.

 Arms Shout Cairo Mobs

CAIRO, Egypt. Oct g = tR = Egyptian mobs roamed the streets of Cairo today shouting for arms to settle their differences with the British It was naticnuride day of mourning" to honor 16 Egyptians killed in last weeks disorders.
 The crowds in Cairo, estimated at several thousand. were fairly or derly, but in Alexandria, Egypt's second largest city, police were forced to fire shots into the air and buckshot into the ground to keep demonstrators in check.
 The new demonstrations followed a British move sharply cutting rail and traffic and banning road move ment in the disputed Suez Canal area. The traffic cuts will remain in force until Egyptian dock labor CTS, boycotting the unloading of British supply ships at the British military port of Adabia, 10 miles oOubll Ol 0uOL, 6O baSh tO WOAh, c.

 In Cairo where anti-British feel ing was rising, the demonstrators yelled: We want arms" One of the crowd held up a gun and shouted: This is how we will talk to Attlee."
 All shops were closed this after noon in Alexandria and Cairo.
 An open car filled with demon- strators attempted to drive to the Garden City area of Cairo where the British and American Embassies are located. A guard of 50 Egyp- tian police turned them back when they reached within a half block of the area.

EXPLOSION OF BABY A-B0MB AT NEVADA PROVING GROUNDS DEM0LlSHES TOWER OF STEEL

LAS VEGAS, Nev.. Oct. 23-R- Americans. always in awe of size, had something different to ponder today: the successful detonation of an atomic weapon so small it flared less than a TINT blast, yet so pow erful it demolished a 100-foot steel tower.
 Yesterdays amazing test may have ushered m the age of the baby A-bomb No test was scheduled today but there may be another bigger blast tomorrow.
 Tight tipped Atomic Energy Com mission officials conceded there wouldn't be smaller explosion than "Operation Pinpoint" which started a series of blasts at the TEC's Ne vada proving ground that prob- ably will run through this week and next.
 Many observers, including some military men just back from Korea, found it difficult to believe that nuclear explosion could emit light for a mere fraction of a second, and make less noise than a heavy artillery shot.
 Yet the downward thrust of the detonation flattened the tower from which the small atomic blast was set off. There's nothing left of the tower" Test. Manager Carroll l.. Tyler remarked, indicating perhaps that the small portion was as lethal in some respects as the original Alamorgordo A-bomb which melted it's tower.
 There was comparatively little radiation from the vest-pocket blast, the AEC said. The air over the test range was reopened to planes less than four hours after the 6 am. exp-csion.

CoaI Producers Faee U. S. Court in Fairbanks

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Oct. 23-R Alaska coal producers accused of Sherman Antitrust Law violations went on trial before jury in Fed eral District Court here yesterday.
 Defendants in the action which court officials said may last week or longer were the Healy River Coal Corp, Usibelli Coal mines, Evan Jones Coal Co., and Harry J. Hill and Emil Usibelli. The government has charged they violated antitrust laws by making agreements with regard to furnish- ing coal to consumers.
 Government attorneys introduced a number of summaries of coal re- ouirements of Alaska military bases, together with bids to fill the re- quirements as the trial opened in Judge Harry Pratts courtroom.
 The attorneys charged that the requirements and the bias usually totaled about the same amounts.
 Leonard O. Jones, civilian pur- chasing agent for military. testified for the government in connection with the summaries which were offered as exhibits. However, Judge Pratt ordered Jones testimony stricken when, in answer to prose- cution questions, he testified to a belief that the similarity of re- quirements to the total bids was more than coincidence.
 During cross-examination by the defense, Jones made changes in the original exhibits after the defense produced figures to show Jones had not taken into accounting the bdis of all producers along the rail belt in summarizing the bidding on military requirements.

isihmian Vessel (an'f Discharge. Frisco Wharf

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 23-tR- Spokesmen for the strike plagued Isthmian Steamship Co.,, say most San Francisco docks are closed to their vessels.
 They discovered that Monday when they tried to move a freighter out of the bay into wharf so sheriff's deputies could unload a cargo of Christmas toys.
 "The white plague is on us," an Isthmian spokesman said. "The companies are afraid their piers will be tied up if one of our ships comes in"
 Isthmian, under court order to unload the toys for a local depart ment store, has been boycotted three months by Harry Bridges h. ternational Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union.
 The ILWU refused to unload the ships after Isthmian signed con- tract with AFL marine engineers while Isthmian's CIO engineers were on strike.
 Part of the toy shipment from the freighter Steel Artisan was un- loaded Saturday by deputies. But the line failed to find additional dock space for unloading the Steel Traveller, anchored in the bay
 In Los Angeles, the navy took over unloading of 327 tons of cargo from Isthmian's Steel Rover It said the cargo was urgently needed.
 Bridges own Local 10 of the IL WU voted here last night to hold stop-work meetings if Isthmian at- tempts to unload the ships with AFL stevedores.

Iran Premier, Truman Talk
 On Oil Dispute

WASHINGTON, Oct. g -- lR, = Trans Premier Mohammed Mossa- degh lunched with President Tru- man today amid speculation that a new move may be near to settle the Anglo -Iranian oil crisis.
 Diplomatic informants suggested that Mir. Truman may have urged the premier to reopen direct nego- tiations with the British now that the United Nations has voted to adopt temporary hands-off atti- tude.
 The JUN. Security Council voted 8 to 1 last Friday to shelye any action until the International Court of Justice at the Hague decides whether tho court has jurisdiction to intervene.
 Authoritative LIN. quarters have said Iran and Britain are actually nearer agreement now than they were when Mossadegh laid his country's case before the Security Council. Mossadegh argued that the LIN. had no right to intervene in the dispute.
 Informants said that with LIN. action indefinitely postponed, Mos sadegh may feel more inclined to resume talks with the British in an effort to get his country's virtually paralyzed oil production flowing again.

The w ashinqton Merry Go Round
tCopy-.ght, 1851. by Bell Syndicate, Inc J
 By DREW PEARSON

" ASHINGTON-On day after Senator Taft's official announce ment that his hat was in the ring, Eisenhower forces held private strategy meeting in the office of Pennsylvanias Senator Jim Duff on Capitol Hill.
 One of those attending the meet ing had flown in from Paris the day before, where he had spent a week end with the general and found him still in mood to run as Republican if the Republican Party wants him.
 Out of this and other conversa- tions came several tentative decis- ions:
 l. Eisenhower's name will defin- itely be entered in the New Hamp- shire primary-the first primary to be held. With Gov. Sherman Adams strong for Eisenhower, with Sen- ator Tobey already publicly on re- cord, and Senator Bridges reported privately for him, an Eisenhower victory in New Hampshire is con- sidered certain.
 2. Probably there will be a full dress meeting of powerful Eisen- hover supporters within the Repub- lican Party in the near future, at which time a formal announcement will be made that Ike will be draft

30 Miles of N. '. Docks
 Strikebound
Rebel Longshoremen Tighten SfrdngIehoId; Spreads 10 Boston

NEW YORK, Oct. 23-tR-Motor caravans of striking rebel longshore- men roved the waterfront today, tightening their stranglehold that has paralyzed more than 30 miles of docks in the vast port of New York.
 With tons of army materiel and civilian goods piled high on the idle piers, the strikers were almost in complete control of the worlds largest harbor.
 To prevent a higher pile-up, the American Association of Railroads has embargoed most freight con- signed here for export and for coastal shipping.
 Strike at Boston
 With the strike already spread to Boston. the association said a sim liar embargo on freight to that port would be ordered today.
 About 1,5O0 Boston longshoremen and 400 freight handlers refused to work today, striking in sympathy with the New York wildcatters, who are demanding reopening of wage contract recently negotiated by the AFL International Longshoremen's Association.
 Tickets Ignored
 At one of the few piers in the New York harbor area still working about 150 longshoremen ignored the pleas of strike pickets and began unloading mail and passenger bag gage from the French Lines He de France.
 What's the hell's the idea of breaking our striker" demanded one of the pickets, threatening that there'd be bigger picket line on hand later in the day. White Collar Workers
 < s...s ( ....-ass.gs r.sae'e Noath River pier the liner Queen Mary prepared to sail. White collar workers, some wearing white gloves and with neat white handkerchiefs peeking from their pockets, helped load passenger baggage.
 A temporary strike truce was de- clared at the New York port of embarkation on Staten Island to permit the loading of three Army troop ships.
 Federal mediators are meeting with both union factions, trying to settle the dispute. The strikers are demanding 25- cents-an- hour wage boost instead of one for 10 cents granted in a new contract. The average lockers pay is $2.10.
