MIAMI, Fla. Aug. 20.-Con-
fused natives attempted to storm
the Myrtle Bank Hotel at King
ston in search of food Saturday
after the devastating hurricane
passed over the Jamaican capital,
air passengers reported upon ar
rival here yesterday.
Police guards were thrown
around the hotel, holiday spot for
many vacationing Americans. The
crowd Of zoo to 300 Jamaicans
was dispersed without violence.
They were hungry and con-
fused" said Mrs. Patricia Mathews
Of Sarasota, Fla. who was at the
Myrtle Bank with her husband,
DR.. Arthur Mathews.
"They gathered in front of the
damaged hotel and cried for food.
They threatened to come on in,
and it looked bad for a time, but
as the police arrived they were
easily dispersed"
DR.. Mathews said he toured
Kingston in a taxicab and saw
great damage in the poorer sec
tions Of flimsy homes.
"A lot Of those people have no
homes left" he said.
DR.. Mathews added the Myrtle

Bank lost many windows and q
part Of the roof. A large ship
blew into a pier alongside the
hotel. Every house in Kingston
suffered some damage, he reported,
much of it minor. some severe.
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Evans and
his mother, Mrs. Emma Evans,
of Miami Beach also went through
the storm at the Myrtle Bank.
We've been in storms before,
but never anything like this. They
didn't prepare for the storm at
all. Nothing was boarded up, and
a lot of buildings blew down.
Water came in the hotel
through broken windows, and the
whole building swayed with the
wind. We walked up and down
a hall during the hurricane, thus
having two walls to protect us.
I'VE were told of one house
that blew completely away with
seven people in it.
When we went to town, the
police gave us an escort. They
said there was great deal of
minor violence such as snatching
valuables from people,"
The passengers arrived here
aboard the first Pan American
Airways plane to leave Kingston
since the storm.

of Santa Barbara, Calf. and
Corpl. John Moullette of Camden,

They lost 35 points. From there
the Marines got worse.
But Umpire Arthur Faulks of
Birmingham, England, bore up
tbravely.
When the Marines finished
their turn they were 64 points in
the hole. (Only the official scorer
knows where the odd points came
from, and he's trying to forget.)
The British team rose to the
challenge.
BY great effort they managed
to lose 103 points.
The game was played at
British rest camp.
Marine Sergt. Robert w. Black
of Oakland, Calf, had challenged
the British to any game they
wanted.
The challenge was issued over
a friendly beer. Which may prove
something.

SOMEWHERE IN KOREA, Aug.
20.-The United States Marines,
who proclaim they can lick any
body at anything, beat the British
at Cricket yesterday.
Well, anyway, it was a kind of
cricket.
The rules were radically altered
ito give every one a good knock,
you know" and both teams ended
up with minus scores.
1t. Jack Schofleld Of Newcastle,
England, and the Royal Northum-
berland Fusilliers led the Brit
ish team. It was he who tam
pered with the sacred rules of
Britain's traditional game.
Each batsman was allowed 10
minutes at the wicket. instead of
just standing there until he was
bowled out. Thus a batsman could
make several outs, for each OF
which he lost 10 points.

None of his charges was con-
flrmed by any Allied source.
Gen. Nam demanded guaran-
tees that future violations
would not occur.
The Korean truce delegate did
not say whether he would break
of the talks, as Gen. Ridgway
did August S when the U. N.
charged a Communist violation
OF the neutral zone. But Gen.
Mans protest amounted to "a
strong implication.

Gen. Nam demanded severe

A Communist newspaper cor
respondent, Alan Wilmington of
the London Daily Worker, was
quoted by Peiping radio as re-
porting that the ambush occurred
at Songgong. The same broadcast,
attributed to a special corre-
Spondent." said the attack occurred
at Panmunjom, nearly a mile
northeast of Songgong and 6 miles
eaSt-southeast of Kaesong.
Gen. Nuckols said the attack
definitely occurred within the
5-mile neutral zone centering in
kaesong and apparently was
made by Korean Reds who dis
like the idea of an armistice.

tinuing full investigation of the

In Korea earlier, the U. N. COM
mand suggested that an armed
band of Korean Red guerrillas
may have violated the zone by
firing on a Chinese platoon po-
licing the area.
The statement said it might
have been a deliberate move by

the Chinese doing most of the

No U. N. Units in Area.
The U. N. command said evi-

Forest Fires Raging
Over $1,000 Acres in
Pacific Northwest
Nv HE A..oeiatsd Pres,

Forest fires, spurred by winds
and high temperatures, covered
more than $4,000 acres of Pacific
Northwest timberlands today.
Near Portland, Oreg., yesterday
the little suburban residential
community Of Bonny Slope was
partially evacuated as forest fire
threatened to encircle the $50
homes. Inadequate water supply
made fighting the blaze difficult.
The Red Cross set up an emer-
gency station in a nearby school
to care for the homeless. The fire
spread from a small blaze which
started Saturday in the Portland
city limits.
Largest blaze in the northwest
was to the south in the Siuslaw
National Forest, southwest OF
Eugene, Greg. An estimated 5000
to 10000 acres were charred in
the blaze which started Friday.
It still was out Of control last
night as 500 loggers attempted to
ditch a fire line around it.
Six Families Routed.
Six families were moved from
their homes and an old CCC camp
which served during the war as a
camp for conscientious objectorS
was given up as lost.
Further south near Roseburg.
Oreg., 1900 acres Of privately
owned timber lands were ablaze.
There were three major fires in
Washington State.
The little city of Newhalem In
the northwest section was threat
ened by a 2,000-acre blaze yester-
day. Flames were halted, however,
by a backf1re.
A second 2,000-acre fire COW
cred an area adjoining stand OF
virgin timber in the Lake Cava-
naugh area. Washington's third
uncontrolled fire was in the
coastal district of Grays Harbor.
It had covered $50 acres and still
was out of control.
Oregon Logging Halted.
All logging operations were
halted in Western Oregon as a
result of the fire threat. The State
has been without appreciable rain
fall for three months.
To the south in California fires
struck dry timber and brushlands.
Two mountain towns in Auburn
and PAGER Counties were threat
ened before crews checked the
faSt-moving blaze.
There were 40 lightning started
fires, three of them out of control
and covering more than 600 acres
In the Mendocino national forest.
Other fires in California covered
some 5000 acres.
The Forest Service dispatched
two planeloads of trained South
ern California fire fighters early
today to help combat the outbreak
Of blaZes in the northern part Of
the State.
One carried a group of 20 men
bound for Eureka to help on fire
lines in Six Rivers National For
est. Another group Of 81 in a
chartered American AirlineS DC-6
was scheduled to arrive at Red
ding for duty in the Trinity and
Mendocino forests.

ty police had to cooperate, lest
the county be accused Of trying
to protect Nelson.
Chief Richards said the Senate
committee should have centered
its investigation in Calvert Coun-
ty, where, he said, Nelson was
known to have operations.
While Nelson's home at Ritchie
is in Prince Georges. his slot ma
chine and amusement center,
Uncle Billie's, is at North Beach,
in Calvert County.
When he testified before the
committee August 9 he said he had
made large sums of money through
a firm probably" engaged in gam
bling operations. He disappeared
before the Senators got another
chance to question him about tes-
timony obtained from subsequent
witnesses.
Received Data From Richards.
Charles County Sheriff R. Ver-
non Cooksey said today he as
sumed he was the person to whom
Mr.. Richards referred when he
told the County Commissioners
on Saturday that he had followed
known gamblers into Charles
County and had turned over in
formation on their activities to
"a highly placed official"
Sheriff Cooksey, a Republican,
has served the county as State
Senator and as a member of the
Maryland House Of Delegates as
well as previous terms as sheriff.
"Chief Richards turned over
certain information to me con-
corning alleged gambling in
Charles County several weeks
ago." Mr.. Cooksey said today,
land I Immediately discussed the
matter with the States attorney
of the county.
1T was our conclusion at that
time that the data was insuffi-
cient to warrant an arrest, but
we launched an investigation
aimed at bringing to light alleged
law violations Of this nature in
our jurisdiction.
Material Used in Probe.
a."Chief Richards cooperation
is appreciated, and he may be as
sured that his data was not ig-
nored. On the contrary, the ma
terial he gave me is being used in
a continuing probe"
Charles County States Attorney
Robert T. Barbour could not be
reached Immediately for COM
ment.
District Attorney Fay said he
had received transcript of all
testimony before the Senate COM
mittee for use in the grand jury
investigation. Chairman Kefauver
of the Senate Investigating Com
mittee suggested that the record be
studied for possible perjury action
against Nelson.
Chief Richards said the county
police are not looking for Nell
son, but are pursuing their in
vestigation of various gambling re-
ports for presentation to Prince
Georges grand jury probe.
States Attorney Carlyle j. Lam
caster promised to submit crime
evidence to the regular jury in
October. after saying he saw no
reason to launch a jury investiga-
ton without making out a good
case in advance.
Tried to Lay Trap.
Mr.. Lancaster is one of three
county officials Nelson sought to
bribe in return for numbers pro-
lection, according to the sheriff.
Sheriff Beall told the committee
last Friday that Nelson offered
him $4,000 a month for protec-
ton, the money to be split between
the sheriff. the States attorney
and Police Chief Richards.
Sheriff Beall and Mr.. Lancaster
testified that they were trying to
lay a trap for Nelson on the al
legged bribe offer when the Sensa-
tional Senate disclosures broke.

vestigating subcommittee headed
by Senator Hoey, Democrat, Of
North Carolina, is moving cau-
tiously in the direction of investi-
eating Mr.. Boyle's relationship
with the RFC." and added caus-
tically:
I'VE concede that such an in
vestigation might injure the Dem
ocratic party in the 1852 elections.
We cannot. therefore, critisize any
Democrat for failing to demand a
thorough investigation of his par
ty's national committee chairman.
Very few men holding elective
Office are endowed with such un-
limited political courage"
Mr.. Boyle has denied ever seek
ing to influence RFC loans and in
particular with having anything
to do with the RFC loan to the
American Lithofold Co. He has
said that he was employed as an
attorney before he became the ma
tional chairman and that he sew
cred all private business connec-
: tionS after assuming a full-time
position as party chairman.
The majority report, prepared
by Senator Fulbright, avoided 60
ing into details but reiterated 10
its charges made last February in
an interim statement that IAN in
huence ring with White House
contacts have tampered with RFC
lending policies" At the time the
earlier report was issued President
Truman termed it "asinine."
Partisan Politics Charged.
In it's final report the majority
group insisted its charges were
fully substantiated" by public
hearings and showed that the
RFC was influenced by people
whose activities were in the field
Of partisan politics"
1T has become the accepted
practice" the majority added, "in
many instances for loan appli-
cants to seek introductions to the
directors or the RFC. or to some
of them, through officials of the
Democratic National Committee, I"
and added:
1T became apparent that the
Board Of Directors. as then con-
stituted, tacitly acknowledged its
responsiveness to exteranl in
huences."
The RFC has been reorganized
since the earlier criticism and the
board of directors has been re-
placed by a single administrator,
w. Stuart Symington, and the
Agency's lending policies have
been revised and centralized.
The majority report refrained
from mentioning any names of
those who have been charged with
seeking to influence the agency
and confined itself for the most
part to demands for legislation to
improve RFC operations. 1t sug-
gested the need for continuing the
agency and proposed a study OF
: that matter. The Republicans, on
the other hand, said fiatly Con-
greSs should abolish the agency
established in 1882 by former
President Hoover.
The Republicans reviewed pre-
vious disclosures regarding E
Merl Young and his connection
with RFC loans and White House
individuals and said officials o1
: the Government with whom Mr.
Young claimed contact shoulc
have "cut finally and absolutely

Chambers Described.
It then described Mr.. Clubb's
meeting with Carmon's successor
as editor. "one Whitaker Cham
bers." who was described as "a
shifty-eyed. unkempt creature who
nevertheless showed considerable
force" in discussing political
movements in China.
+ Mr.. Clubb wrote at the time
that in his discussions he was
"out of my bailiwick."
Asked about the purpose of the
letter, Mr.. Club said that 1882
was "a period Of severe economic
pressure" and that he was desirous
on his return to this country "of
meeting people who could tell me
about the situation in the United
States"
Asked If he considered this a
part of his official job, the witness
responded that he had always
understood it to be q State De-
partment position that when for
eign service officers return to the
United States I'VE acquaint our
selves with the situation in the
United States"
Got Letters From Missionary.
He said he believed he had OBJ
tanned five letters of introduction
from Miss Smedley and seven
from a Joseph Bailey, "a mis-
sionary friend" He said he did
not believe any of the other let
ters were addressed to Communist
leaders.
Mr.. Club testified he also has
made known to the State Depart
ment Loyalty Board his discovery
of the diary entry. Mr.. Club pro-
duced leather-bound had-written
volumes comprising his diaries
from January, 1892, to the end of
June. 1882. He also submitted two
bundles of loose-leaf, typed pa
lpers. covering his diaries from the
start Of World War II to the pres
ent time.
He had left the early, leather
bound volumes in Peking when he
was interned by the Japanese dur
ing Warld War II and the diaries
were impounded along with many
other papers. Passing through
many hands. Mr.. Club said he
believed other volumes are still
in the hands of the British in
Peking, from which source he
obtained the 1882 records this
year.
Clipped Parts Of Record.
Asked If he had made any dele
tionS from diaries submitted today,
the witness said he had clipped
parts Of the looSe-leaf record in "a
calculated manner" in July, 1914,
before leaving China for an as
signment in Russian territory.
When he left China last year.
the witness said, he burned much
correspondence, photos and some
documents to keep them out of
Communists hands. He SAID the
1928 leather-bound volumes
had been left behind in their
packing cases because he did not
believe they would be dangerous
to American security. He said
the loose-leaf papers which he got
out of the country by other means
have always been kept under
lock and key"
Mr.. Club said he had met
Miss Smedley, whose name fig
ured in the notorious Sorge spy
ring case in 1881, either at Han
kow or in Shanghai, but did not
remember the exact circum-
stances.

The Office of Aviation Safety GROUND CONTROL IN STRONG WINDS (Continued) When there is no wind, the rudder is the only control sur face of importance when taxing As the strength of the wind in creaSes, however, the elevators and aileronS become increasing ly important to the point where the very safety of the airplane depends upon their correct usage.
 Use of Control Surfaces in Strong Winds
 1. Upwind
 a. Rudder is normal and eff fectiVe
 b. Ailerons, normal but weak, use as required.
 C. Elevators should be down to protect the airplane from being shifted by gusts Taxi ing tail high is safest atti- tude.
 2. Crosswind
 a. Rudder is normal but weak, use as required.
 b. AileronS are weak, but should be displaced full over to hold "upWind" wing down. It may be too late after wind starts to pick the wing up
 (. Elevator control is very un- certain if brakes are being used to hold crossWind. Pro pellcr blast and croSsWind meet under the tail sur faces producing lifting force Whether the elevators are up or down. Best posi- tion is probably neutral, bringing stick forward if wing starts to go up, at the same time being sure to re lease the brakes. 3. Downwind
 a. Rudder is useless except when short bursts of the engine cause the propeller blast to penetrate the tail wind and reach the flee tive surfaces. Such blasts may cause the airplane to move too fast if brakes are not being used. Best posi- tion is neutral with gentle use of brakes to hold the airplane on a straight down wind h2ading.
 b. Ailerons provide best steer ing control The "doWn" " aileron has much more drag to the tail wind than the up aileron. Right turn, right stick: left turn, left stick Practice until il comes na- turally, it is the only effcc- tive steering control down wind on wheels. skis or floats
 C. Elevators are unreliable with power, airplane may nose over whether they are up or down. With appliCa ti0n of but little power, ele- vators should be down, the tailWind will then hold the +ai1 01, tho orOup6 firmly
