500 ESCAPE
INJURY IN
SHIPS CRASH

NEW ORLEANS - (ANP) -
More than 500 terrified Negro
longshoremen were scared out of
their wits last Tuesday morning
when a giant ocean liner, the
Andrew Jackson Higgins, crash
ed into the wharf and the struc-
ture which supports the shed.
The incident was the result of
a three-ship collision in the
mighty Mississippi. The lone cas-
ulty was that of a laborer whose
name was somewhat common with
the event, Mitchell Boatman, 40.
The impact swung his body out
from the ships ladder, but he
hung on with the crook of his
elbow.

Letter from Legation at Saigon
to Charge d'Afares at Prom PENN.
July 10:
Several worthy-appearing projects
and plans for transport Of the ele-
phant have fallen through but we
think that we finally have the answer.
The French ship, Darlac, will leave
Saigon July 26 with the elephant and
his feed for so to SIS days. The ship
will arrive in Singapore on July 80
and the elephant will stay at the
local zoo until August S. The ele-
phant will leave Singapore on the
Steel Surveyor on August S and with
one stop at Durham. South Africa.
will sail around the Cape. arriving
in New York about September l.
Since the elephant must arrive In
Saigon early on July "a. 1t may be
necessary to transport the elephant
by the legation truck 1--WE hope the
fears Of the Pnom PENN truckers are
groundleSs).
Following the advice of the veter-
marian, we are planning on sending
the following foods with the elephant
based approximately on so days of
travel: 1000 kilos (2.200 pounds)
each Of rough rice, corn, rice -four;
$500 kilos $500 pounds of rice
straw and 100 kilos (220 pounds) of
banana trunks. A sturdy cage will
be constructed here.

selves?

Council last week issued pamphlet
urging In effect that whole cross
sections of the United Kingdoms
population and industry be packed
up and moved, bag and baggage to
white-settled countries within the
British Commonwealth Of Nations.
Coupled with this unprecedented
move of Britons to overseas countries
would be the migration of large
numbers of sturdy continental Euro
pean families" according to the
councils plan:
Such movements, the report stresses,
would be entirely voluntary. To
achieve the objectives desired. the
council suggests:
/. The setting UP of a permanent
British Commonwealth and Develop
ment Organization.
2. The creation of similar councils
wherever desirable.
3. Cooperation with other bodies
having similar aims.
4. Study and research on such
problems as housing and transporta-
ton.
5. Cooperation in promoting sur
vey studies Of Commonwealth areas
or industries awaiting development.
Population ImboIonee
The report claims that the strength
of the Commonwealth is sapped be-
cause of the imbalance of Its white
people and its industries" It points
out that the United Kingdom has a
population Of SAB per square mile.
while Australia has four, Canada
nine. New Zealand 10, South Africa
