Federal Pay Boost Agreed, Conserees

WASHINGTON. Oct. Is - R - Senate-House conferees agreed to- day on a bill hiking postal rates by about $l17,000,000 a year.
 They took the House version and thus threw out the Senate measure which would have boosted first class letter stamps from three to four cents and increased airmail from six to eight cents.
 The compromise bill leaves the three cent stamp and airmail rate unchanged but dooms the penny postal card. The charge for it will be doubled.
 The confcrees also agreed on pay raise for about 1,500,000 federal employees which will cost more than OO.0Oo.OO0 a year. The workers will get a 10 per- cent boost except that individual increase will not be less than $500 nor more than $500.
 Previously the conferees had agreed on a 50,000, ,000 annual pay increase for the 500,000 postal workers.
 The three bills are tied together; there was an informal agreement not to bring one to final passage without the other two. The com- promise measures will be called up for a vote in the House first.

Russ WarpIanes Drop Bombs on British Vessel
By Associated Press

Russian warplanes are said to have made an unprovoked bombing attack against British merchant vessel last September 14th near the Soviet Port of Archangel.
 The captain of the 3,500-ton Berylstone, Leslie Cow, says the Russians dropped three bombs, but none of them hit.
 Cow disclosed the attack when his vessel docked today at Belfast, northern Ireland on the return trip from Archangel. He and members of the crew were interviewed by British intelligence agents. The Ad- miralty and the British Foreign Office in London declined immed- fate comment on Cows statements.
 The captains account suggested the possibility the Russian war planes may have failed to identify the approaching British vessel and tried to warn her away from the Russian port.

The W ashington Merry Go Round tCopy-.ght, 1851. by Bell Syndicate. Inc. )
 By DREW PEARSON

" ASHINGTON-There are some interesting hackstage reasons why Republican Senators are so insis- tent that Guy Gabrielson resign as chairman of the Republican Ma tional Committee.
 One is comparison between the two REC loans obtained by the two chairmen of the Republican and Democratic National Committee.
 Democratic Chairman Bill Boyle's loan for American Lithofold in St. Louis totaled 565,000-a relatively small amount
 COP Chairman Gabrielson's loan for Carthage Hydrocol was for $18,- 800, 0,0000-one of the bigger loans granted by the REC.
 Gabrielson drew a salary and fees totaling $201, ,0OO from Carthage Hydrocol during the period that he was either Republican National Committeeman from New Jersey or Republican National Chairman. He has been President of Carthage Hy- drocol since April 26, 1946, and did not resign after he became Ma tional Chairman.
 Boyle claimed he received fee of only $1,250 from American Litho- fold, though upon becoming Demo- cratic Chairman he sold his legal

Children Lowered 10 Safely As Flames Sweep Through Fairbanks Apartment House

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Oct. 18-tR "A three-week baby and five other small children were lowered to safety from windows of burn- ing apartment house building yes- terday as firemen battled flames in sub-freezing temperatures. ! Some 30 persons were left home- less by the fire in a two-story unit of the Fairview Manor apartment house project occupied mostly by military men and their families. ! One woman was injured. Mrs. Ray Christian, about 50, was treat ed for shock after firemen rescued her from smoke-filled room.
 Bremen said woman identi-
 fled as Mrs. Hall tied three
 week-Old baby in a sheet and lowered the infant to the ground.
 Two more children, aged and
 5, followed by the same route,
 then the woman slid down the
 sheet herself.
 One Air Force officer, Capt. George Boynton, former Belling- ham, Wash. Herald reporter re- gently recalled to active duty, ar rived home from the Ladd Air Force base to find his apartment in fam es and his family trapped inside.
 Unable to enter the building
 through the dense smoke, he stood on the ground outside his apart
 ment window and caught his two year-old daughter, Stacy, who was
 dropped to him by his wife, Mich aela, while she leaned out of the smOke-filled apartment. Then she threw out mattress and drop ped to the ground unharmed.
 Firemen said another Ladd Air Force officer, Capt. Delbert Smyth, saved two children by dropping them from a second-floor window into the arms of a Catholic priest.
 The fire apparently broke out in the basement and spread quickly up the staircase, firemen said.
 No estimate was made of damage, confined mostly to the interior of the building.

Compromise Reached on Tax Bill

WASHINGTON, Oct. 18- R = Senate and House conferees today agreed on a new compromise $5,- 691 100000 tax increase bill. It calls for slightly smaller boosts in indi- vidual income taxes than the mea- sure rejected by the House on Tues day
 That change and several other minor adjustments cut the estimated yield $41, 100000 below the original agreement. However, the two bills are practically the same in most details.
 The Senate will vote first on the new bill and action is possible late today
 If the Senate approves it, the bill will then go to the House.
 Passage by both chambers would clear the way for probable adjourn ment of this session of Congress on Saturday.
 Rep. Simpson (R-Pa) of the House cOnfereeS, told reporters the revised bill is "sure" to pick up a number of Republican votes in the House.
 A combination of votes from Re- publicans and northern Democrats defeated the earlier bill in the House.
 A joint Senate-House committee settled on the terms of the new measure in a two-hour meeting.
 The bill calls for an increase of II percent in the tax on the first 5000 of surtax net income, rather than 111 percent as pro- vided in the original compromise.
 The change slaves from 20 cents to $2 off the proposed tax increase on single persons.
 It affects all brackets, since every one pays the first surtax rate.
 Net loss from the individual in- come tax revision was estimated at $68, 100000.

Truman Is muInb0vef His Plans
 Won't Disclose Whether
 He'll Run for Reelection;
 Platform of Tdff

WASHINGTON, Oct. Is = R = President Truman said today he will not disclose whether he will run for reelection until after he completes the three major messages he will submit to Congress in Janu- ary.

 A reportes sold Mir. Truman that Senator Taf (R-Ohio), when an- nouncing his candidacy for,tbe Re- publican Presidential x z Q Ton, had said he would like EAr. Truman as his Democratic opponent.
 Will you accommodate Senator Taft?" the reporter asked.
 The President said he couldn't answer that question now. He said he had made up his mind what he is going to do but he proposed to pick the time of his announce ment.
 Asked whether he would like to see Chief Justice Vinson run if he does not make the race himself, the President said he would answer that question when he made his an- ncuncement.
 Another newsman asked what he thought of Taft's announcements as to what would be the three big issues of the Presidential campaign.

 1. Restoration of progress within the principles of liberty rather than the principles of socialism"
 2. Restoration of honesty and integrity" in government with an end to corruption" and influence peddling."

.26 Carried To Death in
 pIane(rash
AirIiner Hits Side of Mountain on Vancouver Island; Bodies Charred

NANAIMO, B.C., Oct. 18-lR-A Queen Charlotte Airlines plane, laboring futilely at full throttle to gain altitude, crashed into the side of a mountain 10 miles from here last night. carrying g persons to their death
 The victims were 30 miles from their destination at Vancouver. BC.. nearing the end of southbound AGO mile flight from Romano, when the twin-engined craft hit the rocky side of 5000 foot Mount Benson. All those aboard except the three crew members were believed to be loggers and construction workers.
 Charred Bodies Found
 Owen Jones of Nanaimo, one of the first to reach the wreckage of the amphibious plane after a three hour climb up the mountainside, said six charred bodies were found nearby.
 "The others must have burned up," he said. My God it was an awful mess"
 Jones said what appeared to be the hands of woman were sticking through a piece of fuselage, al- though there had been no report that a woman was aboard. A red sweater and a red slipper were nearby.
 "I don't think they'll ever re- cognize anyone" Jones said. "All the bodies were intact but they were all charred."
 Jones said the plane crashed about 100 feet below a bluff but there was another bluff beyond.
 "If the plane had climbed the other way it would have been over the sea and safe" he said.
 "The right wing was standing straightup in the air, and there was one float but that was all that was in one piece"
 Accident Witnessed
 !. The accident was witnessed by Keith Price. operator of power station near this city, which is 15o miles northwest of Seattle.
 Price said it was about 6:50 pm, PSF, when the plane circled his station at an altitude of about 50 feet, veered west and narrowly missed 130,000 volt powe.- lines. Then, he related, the plane roared at full throttle toward the mountain in an apparent attempt to gain alti- tude, crashing into the rocks at the 2,o00-foot level.
 Flames Explosion
 A sheet of flame leaped up and a loud explosion was heard. That was all
 Romano, where the flight orig mated, is the site of the Aluminium Company of Canada development in Northern British Columbia. Ma naimo is 30 miles west of Vancouver, across Georgia Strait, and the plane apparently was off course on it's regularly scheduled run.
 The crew members were identi- fled as Doug Mcqueen, the pilot, Jaginder s. John, first officer, and Ray Williams, creWman.
 The airline withheld names of the passengers until relatives are noti- fled.
