Lost Creek Nine May Have Claimed Another vitiina

NEW WESTMINSTER, B.C., Oct 25-sR Legend has it that 20 men have died hunting for fabulouf Lost Creek Mine" in the mountain wilderness 45 miles north of here.
 Was Alfred Gaspard the 2lst?
 RCM.P. Constable John Dowsett and guide Stan zepeski set out yes- terday to find out.
 This much was known: Gas pard, 60 l. year old prospectnr, packed his gear 15 months ago and headed for the upper reaches of the Pitt River. He has not been seen or heard from since.
 Gaspard himself had a premoni- ton that he would become a part of the fateful legend. He left a note saying: By the time you read this I will have passed to the Great Beyond"
 That note. left with friends, was opened in February.
 Dowsett and a guide made ar aerial survey of the area but the snow had wiped out any clues Gas pard might have left.
 The deep snow finally left the mountains in June but heavy foliage covered the trail.
 The leaves have fallen now and in wet, overcast weather, Dowsett and Zepeski started out by boat. When they reach the head of Pitt Lake they will strike into the mountains on foot. They expect to be gone two weeks.
 The legend of Lost Creek mint goes back more than GO years. The gist of it is that an Indian named Slumach appeared in New Westminster with hefty poke of gold. He made several trips back into the bush, returning each time with a sackful of yellow dust.
 He was hanged in 1892 after con- fessf1Tg frg ttTadi 7nuruervu efgi1r women. His secret died with him. On each trip to the mine, he had taken an Indian woman. None re- turned.
 Since then, according to the legend, 20 men have died in the search for the lode. One old pros- pector stumbled out of the noun tain country with poke of $10,000 but died insane.

Fight Marks Sfrikebound Waterfront

NEW YORK, Oct. 25-,R A brief but spirited scuffle erupted on New York's strike -becalmed waterfront today when some 100 longshoremen drove through the strikers picket lines.
 The sortie, led by supporter. of President Joe Ryan of the AFL In- ternational Longshoremen's Associ- ation, broke through and around a picket line of 25o men at a Hudson river pier where the liner Coronia had just docked
 Fist fights broke out. There was a furry of showing, yelling and gouging.
 The invaders reached the dock, but then turned around and left without unloading the 800 tons of general cargo from the British liner. The pickets, who are re- beIling against recently negati- ated contract, watched sulIenly as the group retreated.
 Harold Bower, pro-Ryan man who led the invasion, denounced the wildcat strike, but said we will not work in section where there are pickets."
 The furry came as rebel leaders of the anti-Ryan strikers threat ened to spread the paralyzing strike to Philadelphia, Baltimore and Chester, Pa.
 Virtually all piers in the big port of New York, including New Jersey docks, and in Boston al- ready have been shut down by the strike.
 A total of 122 ships have been -iTnrnUbiiizEri; sUTTe- of them with perishable cargoes rotting in the holds. Tons of other freight was piling up on docks at the rate of S25, ,000,000 worth a day.

Once he had taken the undis-
puted lead in the eighth round.
Larry Evans kept it to the end of
the open tournament of the
United States Chess Federation at
Fort Worth, Tex. Having dis
posed of the runnerup in round 9,
he was able to cast in, drawing
with Eliot Hearst in the 18th, and
with Lee Magee in the last round
With a score of 1912, made up on
eight wins, four draws and no
losses, he became United States
Open champion in succession 10
Arthur Bisguier, winner of last
years tourney at Detroit. Bis
guier is now in the Army, and so
was not on hand to defend his
title at Fort Worth. Evans sue
cess. coming after his excellent
performance in the international
team tourney at Dubrovnik, Yugo-
Slavia, his winning the Marshall
Chess Club championship for the
third time, his tie with Fine in
the sexangular tourney at the
Marshall Club, and his good score,
just below the prize winners, in
the international tournament at
the Manhattan Club, stamps him
as the foremost young player Of
the country. At 10, his prestige is
exceeded only by that of the two
acknowledged grandmasters, Fine
and Reshevsky.
Albert Sandrin of Chicago won
in the last two rounds, but could
not close up the half-point gap
between himself and Evans. He
won the open tourney in 1949,
and is well known to be a player
of real genius. although cruelty
handicapped by defective eye
sight. The next two prizes were
shared by veteran and greatly
improved newcomer: Isaac Kash-
dan and Eliot Hearst, with 9-3
each. KaShdan has not regainedi
the pre-eminence in American
chess which he enjoyed 20 years
ago, and, since he is now a resi-
dent of Los Angeles, no longer has
the benefit of New York City
practice. He lost games to Dr.
Juan Gonzalez of Havana and to
Norman T. Whitaker.
The leaders were followed, as is
inevitable in these Swiss system
events with large entries, by four
large brackets. Four players made |
scores of 8l2-312: James Cross of

beat Kashdan, but lost in the last
two rounds to Cross and Hearst. I

Senator johnson said that, since
the serious transportation trou-

has been studying the problems
and complaints of the railroads,
trucking companies. maritime
firms, airlines and other carriers.
This study has resulted in a 1874
page report.
On the basis of this report and
the personal opinions of the Ma
tion's transportation leaders, he
said, a bill is being developed
and soon will be introduced in
Congress.
He told the assemblage: 'This
bill we are going to have up
there is going to have everything
In it; including the kitchen stove,
and then we are going to start
in on the process of elimination"

He added that the transporta-
