Rubber Barrel FaiIs Daredevil n Niagara Plunge

NIAGARA FALLS, N. r., Aug. c. Civilian Red" Hill pressed his uck too far and lost his life trying o go over Niagara Falls in a home made rubber barrel"
 But already one of his brothers, Lloyd, is preparing to try the same dare devil feat-in a steel barrel. Lloyd said last night he'd prob ably make his attempt next Sunday.
 The 38-year-old Red" had leased fate for years on the treacherous rapids of the Niagara River.
 His ambition was to become the fourth person to go over the falls and live.
 But yesterday, with 100000 spec tators lining the river banks, his rubber barrel failed him and he was swept to death over the l65- foot Canadian Horseshoe Falls.
 His body was recovered today.
 Hills barrel was made out of IA old innertubes, inflated and bound together with cotton canvas and heavy fish netting. It was shaped like a jelly roll, closed at both ends, with an air mattress inside to help him breathe.

SEATTLE, Aug. 6--tA-A water skipping, almost flying mahogany saucer fresh from the boat works, ran away from Americas finest speedhoats Saturday to keep the Gold Cup in Seattle.
 But the city's jubilation over the record-smashing triumph of Slo- Mo-Shun V was dulled when death closed it's fist on another entry, the Quicksilver, early ill the third and final heat, snuffing out two lives.
 One moment the Portland, Ore, newcomer to racing was leaping the wave crests past the officials barge Then she was gone Nothing but cloud of spray, quickly sett- ling, was left. Killed were her driver, Orth Mathiot, 57, and a me- chanic with him, Sgt. Tom Whit aker, 28, of, Vancouver, Wash.
 Lou Fageol, a quiet guy ashore but wild man on water, manhandled the new Slo-Mo to her victory. He was chased to q new lap record of 97S26 miles per hour by Miss Pepsi in the first three-mile circuit of the Lake Washington course.
 Fageol romped on to lap the entire field of eight surviving boats and set a speed record for the 30-mile heat at an average of 91766. The old lap record of 862 mph was set year ago by My Sweetie, which placed sixth in the race this year.

Alaska piIois lead Stafes in Plane Accidents

Alaska pilots have nearly 10 times as many accidents as fliers in the states.
 But on a per airplane" basis in l949, Alaska compared very favorable with the states, which had approximately the same num- Der of airplanes, according to an announcement today by the Civil Aeronautics Administration.
 How much more Alaska pilots flew than stateside pilots is not matter of record D. M. Grct- ger of the aviation safety office If the bureau stated in the an- nouncement.
 The bureau summary for 195C shows that Alaska leads the states with five fatal and 35 non5fatal accidents. South Carolina was next with four fatal mishaps. New Mexico highest accident state had 50 less non-fatal mishapi than Alaska.
 States used in the comparison have approximately the same number of airplanes as Alaska the announcement explained.
 Thus, the newest report deprive us of the only yardstick we coul, { dig up to show an accident rat in Alaska which was not too un favorable" Gre5ze- stated.

Stalled Armistite Talks 10 Probably Resume Wednesday
Ridgway Prepares
 Statement 10 Red Apol- oqy for Armed Forces

TOKYO, Tuesday -R - Word from Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway that the stalled Korean armistice talks will be resumed was expected at any time today. but Wednesday appeared the earliest likely date the Allied negotiators could meet the Reds again at Kaesong.
 Vice-Adm. c. Turner Joy and three other members of the five man United Nations delegation flew to Tokyo late Monday and conferred privately with General Ridgway
 An aide said laser that General Ridgway was preparing a message of reply to the Communist apology for presence of armed troops in Kaesong Saturday.
 However. Admiral Joy was at his home in Tokyo early today, so any resumption of the Kaesong meetings before Wednesday seemed only dimly possible.
 The Supreme Commander called off the talks Sunday morning. He charged the Reds with flag rant violation" of Kaesong's neutrality.
 Late Monday afternoon Vice Adm. c. Turner Joy, senior LIN. delegate and three other Allied negotiators flew to Tokyo from Korea
 They immediately went into con ference with Ridgway at his head quarters.
 The conference ended several hours later when Ridgway returned to his home.
 In breaking off the talks Sum day morning, Ridgway demanded assurances that armed Red troops would not again violate Kaesong's neutrality.
 About 150 Chinese soldiers marched within a few hundred yards of tht LIN. staff house during the lunch con recess Saturday. They carried rifles, machine guns and hand gre Lades.

 Bandettini had been conferring with the regional director of rent stahilization there. He was to leave San Francisco today for Washington, D. c. to confer with Tighe E. Woods, national director of the organization.
 When the Territory is de-
 eIared a critical defense area by
 the secretary of defense and the
 director of mobilization, acting
 jointly, it will then be possible
 to control rents on all types of Lousing accommodations in the areas designated" he said.
 Bandettini said that when the necessary action is taken he will be in position to remove the ren- tai inequities now existing through out the Territory, including the unincorporated areas.
 "In adjusting rents, we will be able to do a flexible overall job that has not been possible because of the restricted provisions in the old law" he said. At present rent control is under local option.

SEATTLE, Aug. 6.-lR-Tales of the colorful and dramatic days of the Alaska gold rush were reeounted over and over at lower Woodland Park yesterday at the final picnic of the Alaska Yukon Pioneers
 Although she picnic was scheduled as the last one to be held, the light-. hearted story swapping by men and women, who are still rugged despite their years, showed that the friend ships which developed during hard ships more than 50 years ago are not going to end for some time.
 The oldest man present was
 Nathan Kresgc, 9S, who nov lives
 in West Seattle. Kresge was
 known as the Yukon Hid' back | Dawson. He first went north in
 when he discovered Gold Hill at
 1897, and returned less than two
 years later with S25,000. His Gold Hill discovery netted him $6,375 il ten days from a plot of ground only Il fee. long and feet wide. Another old timer, Dr. KristiaI Falkenberg, who gets bit cagey when his age is asked, became fa- i nous for opening the Edmontof Trail.
 There was Leonard Seppaia, Fl, who was one of the champion dog
 sIedders in the frozen north. His most famous exploit was 2i3-
 mile day and night dog sled race with serum during an epidemic. Another man was Andy Nylen, 89 who roamed Nome and Kotzebue areas for 40 years, and who hasn't yet forgiven Seppala for a rougf dog sled ride back in the early days Once on his own, Nylen sledded foi 48 hours just to attend two hour dance.
 One of the first men in Dawson was Billy Hudson, 89, now of Sum- ner, who went north four years be- fore gold was discovered. He packed the first piano into Dawson for use in his hotel. He and Charles Ceyey 84, baker who spent 43 years in Dawson and Nome, ignored gold fol the most part in favor of more prac- teal business,

 But" he added, ''it is worth it"
 q think the Army is to be con graduated for stepping in and cleaning up their own house, and there is no need for a Congress eional investigation" Johnson, a former chairman of the Senate Military Affairs committee, told a reporter.
 Johnson said it costs an average of more than S30,OOO for each young man appointed to the West Point Military Academy and so, he said, the mass dismissal could waste as much as $2,7OO,000.
 "Its been a shocking and un- pleasant affair but the cadets and officials have done their duty" Johnson said. "The dismissals may save future billions of dol lars in defense costs and what IS more precious many lives of the young men who fight under these future officers"
 At West Point, Harold J. Joeh- lein, captain-elect of the 1851 foot ball team and president-elect oi the senior class, told newsmen yes terday he was one of those to be dismissed He added:

 For instance, a rash of speeches broke out in the House Of Rep resentatives the other day attack ing the Voice of America and State Department propaganda. In fact seventeen speeches were made, one after another, bitterly critical of the Voice of America.
