The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1954-04-15

This week we have been following
the journey of our Lord to Jerusalem
and the Cross. How weary he must
have been, with heart so heavy with
the sins of the world, a world that
had turned their back on him in
these last days, leaving only the
faithful few to follow to the end.
Tomorrow the darkest shadow of
all time, falls the length and breadth
of this earth, marking those last
agonizing hours of our Savior on
the Cross. During the days of Lent
we have been drawn closer to our
Lord so the Cross will mean to us,
forgiveness, peace, hope, joy and =
with our risen Lord - life eternal.
If there had been no Easter, then
there would be no hope for this
eternal life.

Flying Farmer Prepares For
 Visit To Russia

KEY WEST, Fla, R-Delbert A. Fuhriman, the Utah flying farmer, was on his way home via Washington today after a record flight for light planes and hopes next year to make an aerial jaunt over Russia.
 Such a trip would be made as a flying tourist and he plans to ask the Russian embassy in Wash ington to help him plan it. He would ship the plane overseas and begin the flight in Europe.
 The plane he bought second- hand ran perfectly on the record 2,300 mile non stop flight from Vancouver Island, B.C., to Key West, where he landed Saturday after "A hours and 25 minutes aloft.
 "I have no doubt it would do the same on a transatlantic flight, but l am mainly interested in sec ing as much of the world as I can," he commented. Ocean water is too much alike to afford any pleasure to a sightseer."
 He had 30 gallons of gasoline left when he landed here Satur- day and could have gone on to Cuba, but had no maps of the island and decided against land ing there.

World Airlines Agree To Hold The Line In Most Passenger Fares

VENICE, Italy, R-The worlds airlines agreed after an under cover battle, last night to hold the line in passenger fares over most of the globe, but to raise fares slightly in Europe.
 The action was taken by repre- sentatives of Fl airlines attending the International Air Transport Assn. traffic conferences.
 A spokesman said member air lines will do more than 212 bil- lion dollars worth of business in 110 world currencies next year under resolutions adopted by the conference. If interested govern ments agree, the new agreements will go into effect next April 1.
 Fares over the North Pole were included in the agreements for the first time. In view of a new service over that route being in- troduced by Scandinavian Air lines, rates were agreed to be- tween the west coast of North America and Copenhagen, via Canada and Greenland. A spokes- man said the shorter route will cut fares to certain Scandinavian points by about SIS.

Last Of Oldtime Political Bosses, E. H. Crump, Dies In Memphis

MEMPHIS, Tenn, R-A grave was readied for E. H. Boss) Crump today while a steady trickle of the sad and curious filed past his bier.
 Crump, last and most colorful of the nations oldtime big city political bosses, died Saturday at the age of 30. He had controlled Memphis nearly 50 years.
 Crump, famed as the nations strongest political boss, kept a tight grip on the Memphis-Shelby County Democratic machine" he created.
 The organization, until 1948, controlled state politics 20 years. But in the AS primary, Crump's candidates lost to Estes Kefauver in the Senate race and Gordon Browning in the governors scram- ble.
 Leadership of the still potent Shelby County Crowd" was up for grabs since Crump, a wealthy insurance and real estate dealer, left no political heir apparent.

Driver Brings In Bus After Being Knifed
 By Berserk Passenger

WELLS, Nev., R-A Salt Lake City bus driver brought his Grey hound bus safely into Wells last night although bleeding from a knife wound in the side.

 Stump said the passenger whipped out knife, slashed an unidentified passenger on the hand who attempted to intervene, and then stabbed Stump in the side. In the turmoil that followed, Stump said, the man escaped.

5-Year-Old Girl Walks 20 Miles In 20 Hours Thru Washington Wilds

OKANOGAN, Wash, R - A hardy 5-year-old girl who sher- ifs officers said walked 20 miles in 20 hours through the wilds of north central Washington wan dered safely into a ranch yard 50 miles north of here yesterday as an army of men sought for a trace of her.
 The first words of little Joyce Abel as she entered the yard of MT. and Mrs. Guy Wagner were: Was mommy worried?"
 The Wagner ranch is 20 miles southwest of the home of Joyce's parents, MT. and Mrs. Darrell Abel, from which she wandered Saturday while playing.
 As hopes dimmed yesterday that Joyce survived that freezing night she walked, tired but un- harmed, into the Wagners yard and told of travelling doWnhill through the darkness across rock studded fields and grassy plains.
 After Joyce was reunited with her parents a family friend said she's not as tired as most of the searchers; she was dressed in fresh clothes by 10 am. and ready to start playing again."

Reshuffle of ChurchilPs Cabinet Brings In Seven New Members Today

LONDON, tR-A wholesale re- shuffle of the British Conserva- tive government brought seven new members into Prime Minister Churchill's cabinet today.
 A total of IT other ministerial posts changed hands in a big shakeup read by most political observers as a sign ChurchilPs retirement is not in the cards at this time although he will be 80 on Nov. 30.
 The most significant in this con- nection was attached to the ap- pointment of Housing Minister Harold MacMillan to succeed re- tiring Earl Alexander as Minister of Defense.
 MacMillan, a 60-year-old book publisher, has been considered a likely successor to Anthony Eden in the post of foreign secretary if and when the heir apparent to the aged Churchill steps up into the premiership.

Two COP Candidates In Utah And New Jersey Reveal Dramatic Personal Stories Which May Affect Careers
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PREss)

NOIClS , dllu pal y lCduClo III IWo states today were assessing dra- matic personal accounts by two Republican candidates of incl dents that may weigh heavily on their political careers.
 The candidates are Rep. Doug las R. StringfelloW, who is seek ing a second term in Utah, and former Rep. Clifford Case, the COP Senate nominee in New Jer- sey.
 Utah Republican leaders meet today to decide whether to scrap the candidacy of StringfelloW, a disabled veteran who tearfully admitted Saturday he had invent ed an oft-told account of his war experiences.
 A decision for or against Case will be left to the voters Nov. 2. Case last night declared that the Adelaide Case linked in published reports to alleged Communist front groups is not his sister, who he defended as "a loyal Ameri- can.'
 Both Stringfellow and Case pre- sented their accounts in televised talks to the voters of their areas. Their appearances highlighted weekend campaign activity, which saw former President Truman take the stump for the Democrats.
 Truman, still recuperating from serious surgery last summer, told a Kansas City audience Saturday night that COP foreign policy has piled ''blunder on blunder," threat ening "our own security and the peace of the World.'
 COP National Chairman Leon ard w. Hall told party leaders at Jefferson City, Mo-, that Tru- mans memory is certainly short" He said Truman surely must re- member that during his admins tration some six hundred million free people were put behind the iron curtain"
 Sringfellow, who walks with a cane and braces as a result of a wartime land mine explosion, branded as a hoax his story of being behind-the-lines cloak and dagger operative.
 The Utah Congressman's story, dramatized several times by na- tional television networks and re- gently purchased as movie mater ial, was questioned Thursday in Washington by the Army Times, an unofficial service publication.
 Stringfellow at first termed the Army Times story a political at tack and asked President Eisen- hover to open secret files which he said would show he played a wartime role with the OSS.
 Then Saturday night, he re-

CAB Finds Seattle
Alaska Passenger
FaresUnreasOnable

WASHINGTON, LR - A Civil
Aeronautics Board examiner rul-
ed yesterday that proposed air
line fare reductions between Seat
tie and Alaska are unreasonable
and should be disalloWed.
Examiner James S. Keith said
the CAB has authority to pre-
scribe minimum fares and should
do so without differentiating as
to the type of aircraft.
Keith also found that the two
big airlines involved-Pan Am
erican and Northwest-are JUST
fled in operating DC-6B aircraft
over the States-Alaska routes at
the same fares charged by Alaska
Airlines and Pacific Northern for
travel on slower, nonpressurlzed
DC-4 planes. Alaska contended
this was an unfair practice.
The examiner ruled further
against compelling Pan American
and Pacific Northern to enter into
Joint fare agreement. He said
Pan American should be allowed
to continue to take part in thru
traffic between Seattle and Ju-
neau, without imposing upon its
passengers the SIS stop-over charge
insisted upon by Pacific Northern
at Juneau.
Keith made his findings in the
form of an initial decision" If
no objections are filed within 10
days, the decision will become
the final order of the board.
The CAB established U. S.
Alaska passenger fare levels Sept.
10, 1858. However, last December
Pan American filed a proposal for
reduced fares. The three other air.
lines soon took similar action.

Presentation OF
Censure Charges
Is Challenged

WASHINGTON, R-Sen. Wat
kins laid the case for censure of
Sen. Mccarthy before the Sen
ate today and ran into an i'm
mediate challenge from Mccarthy
that you are not giving the facts
as they are"
Watkins, Utah Republican and
head of the special six-member
committee which recommended
censure, gave the Senate a re-
port in dry, Unconditional tones of
the committees work.
He said it had approached its
task without bias and with "What-
ever wisdom, calmness, fairness,
courage and devotion we
might MUSTER
But we are not here to argue
that our Interpretation must be
followed" Watkins said, adding
llldL llle COllllllllltS WoQlo llOI dl L
as prosecutor" of the case.
AS soon as Watkins finished,
Mccarthy jumped to his feet and
said he wanted to question Wat
kins.
Watkins objected mildly to
questioning at that stage. He sug-
gested Mccarthy make his own
speech.
McCarthy's first question dealt
with what he called the Watkins
Committees refusal to allow him
to enter a defense, during the
special committees hearing, for
his failure to testify before a Sen
ate Elections subcommittee in
1851 and 1852. One of the counts
on which the committee recon-
mended censure is that Mccarthy
took a contemptuous attitude to-
ward the subcommittee.

Airliner With 43
Passengers Makes
Safe Crash Landing

CHICAGO, tR = An American
Airlines Convair airliner, with 43
persons aboard, made a successful
crash landing on two wheels yes
terday after circling over Chicago
for more than an hour when the
planes landing gear failed to OPP
crate.
One of the 40 passengers suf-
fered a cut finger as he scrambled
out of an escape hatch seconds
after the twin-engine plane made
a safe but slightly bumpy land
ing. The crew of three escaped
unhurt. The planes right wing,
propeller and engine covering
were damaged.
The landing was made on the
jet runway at GlenVieW Naval
Air Station, about 20 miles north
of Midway Airport, the planes
destination after a flight original
ing in Forth Worth, Texas.
Among the passengers were
Mrs. William G.. Stratton, wife of
the governor of Illinois, and Peter
F. Mack Jr., Democratic congress-
man from Carlinville, ILL.,, who is

crew were wonderful. They told
us what was wrong, what to ex-
pect and how to get out"

Russians Show
More COnciliatOry
Attitude This Time

WASHINGTON, Up President
Eisenhower said today Russia
seems to be showing a somewhat
more conciliatory attitude in the
latest plane shooting incident
than has been the case in earlier
similar episodes.
The President told a news con-
ference the American photo-mak
ing plane shot down by Soviet
filters off the Japanese coast on
Sunday had a right to be where
it was in this country's view.
But these things are not always
as clear cut as they seem and
this one is clouded to some ex-
tent, Eisenhower said.
The President said he thinks in
this case the Russians have shown
a considerable difference of at
titude toward American protests
than they have in the past al
though he doesn't know what may
come of it.
AS to the Incidents not being
clear cut, Eisenhower said the
plane was shot down in the area
of some small islands off Hok-
kaido, the northernmost main
Japanese island. The small islands
are claimed by the Russians, but
these claims never have been ac-
copied by the United States or
Japan.
Eisenhower said he isn't going
to sit here at this distance and
say that Charles E. Bohlen, us.
ambassador to Russia, was wrong
in attending Russian anniver-
sary party in Moscow after the
plane incident took place.
Bohlen's presence at the affair
has drawn critical blasts from
some members of Congress.

$4,000 LBS. ROAST TURKEY
HAS FEW TAKERS

WESTMORELAND, Calf, R-
There were $4,000 pounds of tur-
key roasted here yesterday, but
little of it will be eaten.
Frozen turkeys, being trans
ported in a truck and trailer, went
up in flames. A wheel bearing
froze, igniting tire, which set
afire the undercarriage and the
turkeys soon were sizzling.
Firemen said several motorists
stopped to grab turkeys and this
hampered their, fire-fighting.
