Red Paper Cries Shame on Olga
For Trying to Avoid Siberia

others in the clinic, suddenly
discovered" that Olga had ma
laria.
Discovers Anemia.
The authorities replied that
malaria could be treated just as
well in Siberia as in Voronezh.
The mother discovered-again
with the aid of her colleagues in
the clinic-that Olga had sec
ondary anemia.
The parents then were told
Olga could be treated for this,
too, in Siberia.
The father went to the ministry
of agriculture. where he obtained
a letter requesting the authorities
to leave Olga in Voronezh, where
she was needed for the health of
an orchard-growing area.
Feigned Insanity.
This failed, too. The father
tried again. through another
channel, and failed again.
Olga'S mother then sent the girl
to clinic for nervous ailments,
where the daughter successfully
mimicked symptoms of a light
insanity"
This Stratagem, said the
paper. "also came to nothing, for
it was not part of the parents
plan that Olga should stay in the
institution as a patient"
Il Meanwhile. it said, others OF
Olga's class went on to their jobs
in far-f1ung places. 1t asked how
soon Olga would come to hel
senses and accept her job in

The Navy's new boss has been
at his job only three weeks but
he's ready to take issue with the
critics who say the joint chiefs of
staff have developed into a de
batting society"
Admiral William NJ. Fechteler-
pronounced FEK- -tel-er-says the
day may come when "there1l be
blood on the floor" from some
bitter dispute over policy with the
chiefs of the Army and Air Force
! But he hasn't run into such a
situation yet as chief of naval
operationS-a post to which he
was appointed by President Tru-
man after the death of Admiral
Forrest Sherman.
In the few joint sessions I've
been in" Admiral Fechteler said
in an interview, Il have been
amazed at the speed we can dis
pose of things.
Debating" Talk Unsupported.
"As for this debating society
talk. I've never seen anything
yet to support such a proposition
I know those fellows and I can
talk to them just as I talk to
my own people"
Admiral Fechteler said there
have been no serious differences
Iof opinion since he took over the
Office. But he added: What we
may run into I don't know. I'm
not naive enough to think there
won't be disagreements."
The new Navy boss is a big, re-
laxed man, who gives a visitor
the impression he could take care
of himself either III a debate or a

The admiral is not an airman
himself, but he has some strong
ideas on the role of Navy air IN
the future. And WhI>Ier this will
bring him into conflict with the
Air Force remains to be seen.
Admiral Fechteler believes that
in event Of another war, the Navy

war, despite Russia's feet of sub
marines.
One major reason for this is that
another war would be with the
RusSianS-and Russia has no for
midable surface fleet such as the
japanese had in World War II.
Our fast carrier task forces IN
another war would have more free
dom to support the land war" he
said. That's because we will have
more mobility and t1eXibility."
This doesn't mean, he says, that
the functions of the carrier task
forces would be changed-driving
home the war to the enemy
wherever he might be on land or
sea.

There were times during World
War II, Admiral Fechteler recalls,
when the feet had no opposition
from the enemy feet in initial
stages of a battle.
"At Leyte," he said, the car

Iinitially. They swept the entire
Philippine Islands and Formosa
against enemy air and it wasn't
until after the main body of troops
went ashore that any surface op-

Admiral Fechteler believes the
Navy, generally. must push mod
ernization of its Essex class car
riers so they can handle modern
planes. And the Navy will ask for
additional copies" of the super
carrier which is now under con-
struction, he said.
He is confident the Atlantic and
Pacific Fleets are ready for the
test of war if it is thrust upon us. ="
Il don't mean to imply we are

Girl Of 2Is Rescued
From Well Shaft After
Four-Hour Ordeal
BY the Associated Press

NEWBERG, Greg, Sept. A.
Rescuers brought two-year- old
Marie Anne Payne back up into
the sunlight, four hours after she
tumbled into the darkness Of a
narrow well shaft.
Workmen, digging frantically
sank another hole alongside the
well and reached her at 6:13 pm
(PDT) yesterday. She fell in at
2 pm. while playing in the yard
Of her home.
She was conscious when
brought up, but in q state OF
shock.
Marie Anne chartered happily
over her hospital breakfast to-
day.
Once or twice during the night
she cried out as though in fright
hospital attendants reported.
Her mother though. sleeping be-
side her, calmed the 2-year-olC
and she awakened this morning
lin good spirits.
The four hours spent yeSter-
day imprisoned in the dark vel
shaft did her no apparent harm
DR.. C. A. Bump reported.
She was waist deep in thick
mud when rescuers got to her
Father Voices Assurance.
Through the ordeal her father
Elvin Payne, stayed at the top o.
the hole. He reassured her
You'll be okay now in a few
minutes.
The distraught mother looked
into the we'll hole just once as th'
digging progressed. "All l saw
was her hand" she said.
The little girl had fallen in fee
first, her hands over her head.
Oxygen was pumped down tht
marrow hole-only eight inches il
diameter-aS the crew sank tht
rescue shaft two feet away.
Their digger would drill only II
feet. She was IL feet down. Stat,
police rushed to Sheridan 80 mile;
away for another driller to com.
plete the job.
Marie, whose cries weakened a.
the digging progress, sank slowly
into the mud as workmen wen
deeper in the three-by-four- foo
rescue shaft.
Workers Tunnel Across.
i When the shaft was down Il
feet, reScuers carefully showed q
steel rod across into the we'll hole
at the point where they thought
the child was lodged.
She called to her father that
the rod had touched her and he
Irelayed the word to the rescue
crew. They tunneled across tC
the we'll shaft to reach her.
When she was brought to the
surface by Fireman Ralph Staley
the bottom half of her body was
covered with a thick, heavy mud
| Mr.. Payne said he had dug the
22-foot hole only a few days ago
Mrs. Payne explained "the water
bill is so high. That's why we
were digging our own we'll"
| The mishap recalled the case
of Kathy Fiscus, 3. who died of
suffocation in a we'll pipe in San
Marino, Calf, in April, 1949. Res
cuers worked So hours in a futile
attempt to save her. She was
trapped 96 feet down in steel
encased pipe IA inches in diam

plications developed, Marie might
be released from the hospital to-
day.

Music

Music that could enliven any
dull assembly. played with the
exuberance Of youth. was the
theme Of last nights recital given
by Andre Matthew in the Phillips
Gallery. The program of the Ca
madam composer pianist repre-
sented a resume of his output for
the last II years. the time he
began composing at the age of 5.
In this day when most COM
posers look upon music not so
much as means of elf-expression,
but rather as to how to outdo each
other in the invention Of bizarre
sounds, a young man OF Mr..
Mathieu's type is a rarity. Granted
that his music is all of one kind

less, the stamp of his personality
and the sincere expression Of al
youthful joix de vivre. Neither
can it be disassociated from him,
as he plays it. Everything was
thunder, lightning, fireworks. oneI
selection excepted.
There was more originality IN
the first two groups. the first in
particular, than in the last two,
which included his second fam
tasy and fourth concerto. The
composers two studies, performed
in a prestissimo agitato, Les
Abeilles Piquantes," the sweet
'sBerceuse" and the flowing 'LesI
Mouettes," showed a gift for mel
ody and the requirements Of al
considerable technical equipment
which would have been quite re-
markable in a child.

'tDeuxieme Laurentienne" must
have been products of the ado

before and the concerto la Sec

Mr.. Matthew has not reached as
yet maturity either in playing or
composing. It may come to him
naturally some day. For the pres
ent, he enjoys being just a virtuoso|
without giving a thought to the
all-embracing virtues of true mu-

that women take individual ac-
