 But elsewhere along the miles of idle docks, pickets still marched Only on one Hudson River pier did non-strikers succeed for second day in circumventing the picket barriers.
 At pier 90, where the big British liner Queen Elizabeth is berthed two gangs of longshoremen shut tied past a jeering, pushing mob of 250 strikers held back by police
 Here and there, fistfights flereG about the dock. But there was nc general disorder. Police detainej one picket temporarily.
 The more than 10000 strikers here and in Boston, are in revolt against a new contract and have defied orders of Joseph Ryan pre- sident of the AFL International Longshoremen Association, to re- turn to work.
 John J. Sampson, leader of the wildcat dock strike, agreed yester- day to the lifting of the blockade of military cargoes, but said strikers twill stand united and continue the strike" against other shipping.

 The Coast Guard said the pile of bodies found on the tug accounted for the six members of the crew that had been listed as missing. The body of one unidentified tug crew. man had been found earlier. The captain escaped with minor injuries.
 Capt. Louis Guyette of the Pen obscot and his heImsman, Roy Richardson, 56, both of Port Hu- ron, Mich., died heroicaIIy In the freighter's pilot house. Their bodies also were recovered earlier.
 Captain Guyette and his helms- man stayed at their posts to back the freighter away from the burn- Ing barge, They rammed their yes- ssi's stern into a dock. so that sev- eral crewmen were able to slide down a rope to safety.
 The captain saved us, the captain saved us!" Jimmy Hassett, an ls-year-old deckhand ship ping for the second time, screamed. tears rolling down his cheeks.
 Edward Myers, ST. watchman on the Penobscot and an old hand on the lakes, told the story of his shippers heroisn,
 The old Man and Roy stayed in the tower, put her in reverse and sent her back toward the dock. They were both dead when we rammed the dock.

Mother Trapped
 In Wrecked Plane Watches Son Die

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Oct 30-LR- A mother, trapped upside down for 20 hours in a wrecked plane with .her dead husband, tells of watching her son die as help ap- ] preached.
 1 The mother, Mrs. Nave Morten- sen, 33, and her daughter, Kath- leen, 5, were pulled alive but ser- iously injured from the jammed- up wreckage.
 Her husband, Richard G. Mort l ensen, 33, was killed outright in the crash, and the son, Russell, 8 died many hours later. Officials said they believed the boy suffered a skull fracture.
 The Seattle family crashed Sun day night on wooded ridge near here while returning in their pri- vate plane from visit to Belling ham 30 miles to the north. They were not located until yesterday afternoon.
 T knew Dick was dead" said Mrs Mortensen from hospital bed. But Russ lived for long time as we lay there. I believe he died just a little while before the rescuers came. Perhaps if they had come sooner he would have lived" Little Kathy's first words as she was taken from the plane wreckage were: If I could just sit down. She was trapped the entire time in bent-over standing position.
 Mrs. Mortensen said visibility was good before the accident.
 we were just going along and suddenly I heard big bang" she said. That's the last thing I re- member before we hit"
 Officials said they believed the bang" was when a wingtip hit a tree. The plane continued on a few hundred yards, cut swath through trees and landed upside down in dense woods.
 The wingtip was found by farm CT yesterday and the plane was located some time later. Rescuers virtually had to tear the plane apart to reach the victims. Two hours were required to free them.

 By DREW PEARSON

W ASHINGTON-It now looks as if Senators secretaries might be put on the Investigating griddle. If so, this column has turned up let ter pertaining to the office of Nev- ada's Senator Molly" Malone that makes Flo Bratton, secretary to Vice President Barkley, look like a sandwich-snitcher at a Sunday school picnic.
 The letter was written by Senator Malone's administrative assistant, Ben Whitehurst, and proposed that he work for the Long Beach, Calif., harbor commissioners against fed eral ownership of Tidelands Oil- for fifty grand plus expenses and plus taxes. The funny thing about the letter is that Whitehurst's boss, the Senator from Nevada, is now for federal ownership of Tidelands Oil.
 Of course, the Senator has had a position on the billion dollar submerged oil lands which seems

Senator Taft
 Describes as False Money Elected Him In 1850

WASHINGTON, (P) Senator Taft described as completely false" today the assertion by President Truman that special interests" poured money into Ohio in 1850 to re-elect Taft to the Senate.
 Testifying at a Senate hearing, Taft said it was his opponents, not his supporters, who poured out the funds in the campaign. He added:
 "They were guilty of excessive use of money, pouring funds into Ohio from every state in the union-they used false front or ganizations, they sent carpetbag- gers and outside organizers into Ohio, they based their campaign on lies and misrepresentations about by personal life"

 Ambassador Philip C. Jessup later told the committee the US. was ready to do this if the com mittee voted it. He pointed out, however, that the deputy foreign ministers of the four countries had tried for 14 weeks last spring to reach such an agreement with out success.
 Jessup challenged the conten- ton of some of the small powers that it was useless for the As sembly to continue discussion of disarmament without prior agree ment among the Big Four.
 In the first American answer to Vishinsky's major policy address last Saturday, Jessup went on to stress the importance the western powers put on a 'foolproof" sys- tenn of verifying arms disclosures made by the powers. He insisted that under the Soviet plan the world would just have to take the word of various countries that they were disarning.

 Ferguson charged during the campaign that excessive expendi- lures were being made in behalf of Taft.
 Taft said he welcomed the in- vestigation if it also went into expenditures by the opposition and inquired into defamatory lit erature Taft said was circulated against him.
 President Truman said in a re- cent address to the National Dem ocratic Women's Clubs here that special interests poured money into Ohio last year "t0 elect Taft and "now they will be thinking that if money can win an election in Ohio, maybe money can win a national election"

West Disarmament Plan Unacceptable To The Russians

PARIS, [P) - Soviet foreign minister Andrei Vishinsky de manded Saturday that the West ern Powers rewrite their disarma- ment plan almost completely to make it acceptable to Russia.
 Spokesmen for Britain and the United States immediately eX- pressed disappointment and dis couragement with Vishinsky's long-awaited reply to the arms re- ductions plan submitted by the Western Big Three. Some said, however, that they thought Wish insky had left the door open for negotiation.
 The Soviet demands for re- vision of the Western plan were incorporated in a series of 12 amendments submitted to the 60- member United Nations Assem- bly political committee. The amendments, to all practical pur- poses, would transform the Vest ern plan into one the Russians submitted two weeks ago.
