UN Forces Lose
Marine Team
Red-Killinq

NEKOOSA, Wis. Rp-United Ma
tions forces in Korea have lost the
services of unique Communist
killing partnership keen-eyed
Kentucky squirrel shooter and a
Wisconsin daredevil who tempted
Red snipers into revealing them
selves.
Marine Pfc. Henry A. Friday of
Nekoosa, the decoy, and Sgt. JOHN
E. Boitnott of Comfort, N. c., the
sharpshooter, both were wounded
in action July 26 according to word
reaching their families.
That was the day after press
dispatches told the world how Bo-
itnott had killed nine Communists
with nine bullets-by having Fri
day walk along the top of trench
until Red riflemen popped up to
take shot at him. Friday trusted
the craftsmanship of Boitnott, who
used to do his hunting around
Dawson Spring, KY.
When the Marine Corps heard
Of the system they ordered it
stopped, for fear of losing Friday.
Then Boitnott's wife learned the
sergeant's arm had been broken
by grenade. Yesterday Fridays
mother reported her son had suf-
fered shrapnel wounds and was
hospitalized in Japan.

Heroic Crewnnen Save Boxer
From Flaming Explosions

To-day / witnessed the most in
spring performance of my life.
Your unhesitating willingness to
push into the inferno to save your
ship and your shipnates was a
supreme test of valor and devotion
to duty. We shall carry on as our
beloved shipmates, now lost, would
have wished us to do"
The ship was expected to arrive
at the u. S. Naval base at Yoko-
suka, Japan, Saturday. The car
rier Bon Homme Richard was Or
dered to take the Boxers place
off Korea.

Nevertheless, after Stevenson's
nomination, Southern Democratic
leaders have been lining up behind
him while Negroes who have since
talked with Eisenhower have come
away pleased.
Negroes have enough votes in a
number of key Northern states to
swing them Republican or DEM
ocratic if they vote as a bloc.
Eisenhower and Stevenson have to
keep that in mind.
So, if he finds he can't take the
South, Eisenhower may have to
shift his ground to attract the
Northern Negro vote. A week ago
16 Republican leaders said election
of Eisenhower would speed an
FEPC with adequate enforcement
powers.
Stevenson himself seems to be
shifting ground a bit. Before any
civil rights legislation can be
passed, there must be a change in
the Senate rules to make it easier
to break a Southern filibuster.
After his nomination and before
the Southern states had begun to
line up behind him, Stevenson took
the position that any change in the
Senate rules should be left up to
the Senate.
Now with the South getting more
solidly behind him but some
Northern Negro leaders angry,
he's begun to talk of using his in
fluence, it elected, to get the Sem
ate rules changed.
Even if he was president, he
couldn't change the rules. The
most he could ever do would be
suggest a change. The Senate,
which made its rules and seems
satisfied with them, could ignore
him.
Stevenson has to attract and
hold two other kinds of voters:
the New and Fair Dealers and the
conservatives. Stevenson has TAX
en- pains to show his independence
of President Truman who is little
too far left to suit some voters.
At the same time he can't turn
his back on the New Deal and Fair
Deal measures which draw the
votes of others. He seems to be
trying to suit both groups by stick
ing to the middle of the road--so
far.
Since the campaign doesn't start
until around Sept l and lasts until
election day in November, the two
candidates have plenty of time to
provide surprises.

PsittacosiS or parrot fever is a
serious disease easily transmit
ted to humans but rather rare in
the United States. 1t is caused by
virus common in birds (mostly
parrots), and shows itself with
high fever which remains high for
about three weeks. Mortality used
to be about 20 per cent of those
infected with the disease. Some of
the newer drugs have greatly re-
duced the number of deaths.

Everyone is looking forward to
hearing Gen. Eisenhower and Gov.
Stevenson when the campaign
starts since practically nobody
knows much about the views of
either of them.
This reverses the usual condi-
ton of voters who in past years
not only knew the views of the
candidates but had heard them SO
often anything they said during
the campaign was repetition.
And this year there's chance
for surprise. At the time of the
conventions Eisenhower was sup
posed to be to the right of Steveh-
son who was supposed to be to
the right of President Truman.
But the practical necessity of
trying to win votes may push both
men into some shifts in their posi-
ton. Both men and their advisers
know that in a close election the
votes of Southern Whites and
Northern Negroes may tip the
scales.
After the nomination of Eisen-
hover, who is going to campaign
in the South, it was thought he
might be able to win some of that
usually Democratic area away
from the Democrats.
One one of the sorest points in
the civil rights dispute-a compul-
sorry FEPC-Eisenhower indicated
he opposed it by expressing the
opinion states should handle the
problem. This was a welcome
viewpoint in the South.

TOKYO LPp-U. S. Far East
Naval headquarters today describ-
ed how heroic crewmen saved the
aircraft carrier Boxer from flam-
ing explosions wrich killed nine
shipmates.
Minutes after flames broke out
below decks at dawn Wednesday,
crewmen braved smoke and infer
no-like heat to unload bombs and
ammunition from planes readied
for strikes against the Communists
in North Korec.
Other seamen donned oxygen
masks and rescued comrades trap
ped by smoke and flames. Their
skipper called it an inspiring per-
formance."
The Navy here said the fire and
explosions injured 80. The injury
toll reported in Washington was
IS, but a Navy spokesman here
said that probably included those
temporarily overcome by smoke,
but not injured.
The Washington account differed
in other respects. The Navy De-
partment said one exploding jet
plane touched off the disaster and
II other planes were destroyed.
Headquarters said the cause was
undetermined and did not reveal
extent of the damage.
The fire and explosions scared
the 27,000-ton flattop's hanger
deck the level Immediately below
the flight deck.
A Naval court of inquiry was
ordered to investigate. Rear Adm.
Herbert G. Regan, commander OF
Carrier Division One, was appoint
ed its senior officer.
Although Capt. Marshall B
Gurney, the skipper, said the Box
er was able to carry on its mission
the carrier was sent to Japan for
repairs. The explosions occurred
while the Boxer was 90 miles east
of Wonsan, Korean East Coast
port.
The nine dead included a Navy
doctor and two hospitalmen who
braved nearby flames to care foi
wounded shipmates. An exploding
shell got them. One man was lost
overheard. Helicopters and small
boats rescued 62 others who were
forced into the sea by the cokinl
smoke and flames.
Seconds after the first fire wa:
discovered, the Navy said, smoke
flames and explosions filled the
hanger deck.
In the engineroom, perspirinl
crewmen wore oxygen masks anc
stuck to their posts.
The injured and smoke-stricker
men streamed to emergency medi
cal facilities set up in the ward
room and on the flight deck. Sail
ors and seagoing Marines lined VI
to offer blood.
In midafternoon, after the flame
had been quelled, Capt. Gurne,
broadcast over the loudspeaker:

Water System
Is Planned For
South Vienna

The South Vienna Village Coun-
Gil is working on a plan to trade in
the villages electric distribution
system on a municipal waterworks,
the first public water system in
the towns history.
Mayor John z. Doyle said,
Were just about ready to go on
the waterworks."
So the disposal of the electrical
system, which serves well over
100 customers" is the next step
in the major village improvement
project.
Mayor Doyle disclosed that the
engineers estimates fix the cost of
the water system at about $780,
600. The engineer is ready to draw
up specifications for contract bid
ding now" he added.
The Ohio Edison Co. which has
been supplying electric power to
South Vienna, has made an infor-
NAL bid for purchase of the dis
tribution system. However, the
amount and terms of the offer
were not revealed.
The bid came from P. G. Uhl-
mann, superintendent of sales for
Ohio Edison, who appeared at re-
cent meeting of the South Vienna
Village Council. But nothing has
been put in writing, said the Edi-
son spokesman.
1t was understood that Mr.. Uhl-
mann's verbal quotation was the
first offer made on the distribu-
ton system through which the viii
lage serves retail customers.
Recently, representative of the
Ohio Edison Co. and a man rep
resenting the council made COM
plete inventory of the electric sys-
tenn to help determine fair price
1t was apparent, however, that
the councilmen were disappointed
with the initial offer.
Mayor Doyle said the village ev-
poets to apply the money from
the sale to the cost of the water
works" He said that council may
reserve some for additional i'm.
porvements and limited that a sew
erage system for South Vienna
may be considered for the future
We've got to have the water
first, though" he said.
1t was not made clear whether
the village would go ahead witt
the waterworks project should the
electric network price fail to NEE
expectations.

the Southerners gone, it would be
that much easier to control the
party.
The ultimate outcome was that
Virginia, South Carolina and Lou
isiana declined to accept the loyal
ty oath. They will cast % electoral
votes next November.
The most strategic moment came
when the convention was asked to
seat the Virginia delegation on
the pretense they had met the re-
quirements of the credentials COM
mittee. A formal vote was taken
and for a while it looked as though
Virginia was being kicked out of
the convention. At one point, and
before the roll-call was complete,
the custer movement had a clear
majority of the voting delegates.
But meanwhile, a number of
middle of the-road Democrats were
moving to have the convention seat
the Virginia delegation without re
gard to the loyalty oath. They were
led by former Postmaster General
James A. Farley. Others were Rep.
Jack Dempsey, Of New Mexico,
Senate leader Ernest w. MacFar-
land, of Arizona, Sen. Clinton An
derson, of New Mexico, and Rich
