time, as near as I could see from
the darkness of the place, his
wife hung upon one arm, and
his daughter of seventeen upon
the other. He had one daughter
besides near the age of his little
boy, but whether she had been
washed overheard at that time !
am not certain.
After remaining here some
minutes, the deck overhead was
split open by the violence of the
waves, which allowed me an OPP
portunity of climbing out. This I
instantly did, and assisted my
wife through the same opening.
AS had now left those below, I
am unable to say how they were
lost, as that part of the boat was
very soon completely destroyed,
their further sufferings could
not have been much more pro-
longed.
We were now in a situation
which, from the time the boat
struck, we had considered as the
most safe, and had endeavored to
attain. Here we resolved to await
our uncertain fate. From this
place we could see the encroach-
ment of the devouring waves,
everyone of which reduced our
thinned numbers, and swept with
in parts of our crumbling boat.
For several hours previous, the
gale had been sensibly abating.
For a moment the pale moon
broke through the dispensing
clouds, as if to witness this scene
of terror, and destruction, and to
show the horror-stricken victims
the fate that awaited them. How
few were now left, of the many
who, but a few hours before in
habited our boat.
While the moon yet shone,
three men were seen to rush
from the middle to the stern of
the boat. A wave came rushing
on. 1t passed over the deck. One
only of the three was left. He
had barely time to reach large
timber to which he chung when
this wave struck him-and he
too was missing. AS the wave
passed away, the heads of two
of these men were seen above the
water. But they appeared to
make no effort to swim. The
probability is, that the violence
with which they were hurled
into the sea, disabled them. They
sunk to rise no more.
During this time, Mr.. Love-
green, of Charleston, continued

Flood Victims in
Austria, Germany
Get Relief Supplies

VIENNA, Austria, R-Relief
supplies for thousands of home
less victims of Central Europe's
worst flood in centuries poured
into stricken Austria and Ger
many today.
Holland, Sweden, Switzerland
and the Saar were the first to
offer bedding, food and clothes to
thousands of families made home
less by the raging Danube and a
dozen tributaries. Their five-day
rampage has claimed at least "a
lives on both sides of the Iron
Curtain.
The air began to arrive as res
cue workers struggled to reach
submerged Austrian and German
towns where inhabitants were
still stranded on rooftops and
upper floors. More than 5000
American soldiers have been TAX
ing part in the rescue work.
Sketchy reports from Czecho-
slavakia and Hungary indicated
those two Danube Valley coun-
tries have been hard hit by the
floods. Prague and Budapest ra-
dios said Communist authorities
had ordered entire farm commun-
tiles evacuated and that many
hamlets were under water and
crops destroyed.
1t was not known what the
death toll was in the two Iron
Curtain lands. Nine deaths were
reported last night in Communist
East Germany.
In West Germany, skies cleared
and flood waters began to subside,
but thousands of acres of rich
farmland were still under water.
Countless houses, bridges and in
dustrial plants were damaged
some beyond repair.

Wildcat WalkOut
Stops Work at Two
Big Atom Projects

OAK RIDGE, Tenn, R-A Wild
cat walkout by members of ALL
laborers' Local 818 halted work
today on two vast atomic plant
construction projects.
More than 5000 ALL construc-
ton workers were idled by the
walkout which union leaders de-
scribed as illegal.
An Atomic Energy Commission
spokesman said the strike had no
immediate effect on AFL and
CLIO production workers at the
three atomic energy plants here.
The shutdown of the two con-
struction projects was brought
about by refusal of ALL building
craftsmen to cross the laborers'
picket lines.
w. H. Wardrep, business agent
of Local 818, said "the pickets are
unauthorized and use of the union
name on any picket signs is il
legal"
Meanwhile, CLIO chemical work.
ers who struck three days last
week to back up demands for a
wage increase were reported
back on the job in normal force.

CAA to Take Over
Radar Approach at
l8 Air Force Bases

WASHINGTON, R-The Civil
Aeronautics Administration yes
terday announced plans to take
over radar approach control CEN
tiers at 10 Air Force bases.
The primary reason: Air Force
reluctance to direct air traffic in
areas serving both civil and mill
tary aircraft.
Under the program jointly
agreed upon, the CAA will oper-
ate the surveillance radar units
for the approach control of all
aircraft in the vicinity of each Of
the bases. Surveillance radar has
radius of 80 miles or more, and
is used to watch all air traffic
moving within that range of the
airport where the radar is in
stalled.
The Air Force, meanwhile, will
operate the precision approach
radar used for actual landing of
military craft by instruments, in
storms or fog or at night. A
standard radar approach control
center has two precision approach
radar sets-one with a range of
three miles and one of 10 miles
and three surveillance radar
scopes.
CAA and the Air Force said the
new control method has been
tested successfully at MacDill Air
Force Base, Tampa, Fla, and will
be extended during the coming
IL months to McChord Air Force
Base, Tacoma, and Tinker Air
Force Base, Oklahoma City.
Similar jointly controlled CEN
tiers will be put into operation
after July 1, 1855, at IA other
bases including Ladd Air Force
Base, Fairbanks.

a quarter of a mile east of its
normal location.
The river appears to be back
ing up behind a sandbar and
spreading out into lake, which
is seriously interfering with the

Fishermen who depend on the
river for their winter source of
food, urge that something be done
before the silver salmon run
starts about the goth of July.
Territorial Sen. Howard Lying

Churchill Says Now Is Not the Time
To Admit Communist China to U.N.

LONDON, R-Prime Minister
Churchill said today his govern
ment does mot consider that this
is the moment" to raise the matter
of Communist China's admission
to the United Nations.
The Prime Minister told the
House of Commons that Britain's
policy toward Red China remains
the same-she favors seating Red
China in the U.N. after the Peip-
ing regime has proved it is willing
to foreswear aggression and abide
by international agreements.
Churchill also said his Wash
ington conference with President
Eisenhower was the most agree
able and fruitful in his expert
ence.
Churchill opened by saying that
he went to Washington because he
was deeply concerned at the lack
of information" Britain possessed
about the hydrogen bomb. He con-
Guided by saying that widespread
acceptance of the idea of peaceful
coexistence of Communist and
Communist worlds m 6 h t
with the passage of years solve
problems and "avert the mass de-
struction of the human race"
The Prime Minister reminded
France that the European Defense
Community was French idea.
He said Britain and the United
States were convinced this still
remains the best plan for getting
West German rearmament. In
firm tones he declared:
cit would indeed be tragedy
if this opportunity were lost of
bringing Germany back into the
European family and a. the same
time of recruiting a German ma
tional army.
"To me, the bulk of whose life
has been spent in war, or prepara-
ton for war, with Germany, it
seemed little less than madness to
leave that active and virile nation
with no choice but to raise an
independent, national army and
ITO reject association with her and
the Western world"

Alaska Airlines and Pan American
Seek Fare Cuts In New Hearings

) WASHINGTON, pa Civil
Aeronautics Board investigation
of proposed reductions in airline
passenger fares between the Pac-
ific Northwest and Alaska opened
today.
The hearing, before Examiner
James Keith, also involves other
proposed changes in the fare
structure, including different fares
for different types of aircraft and
free stopover privileges.
The investigation was initiated
when Pacific Northern Airlines
protested a proposal by Pan Am
erican World Anyways for a re-
duced fare schedule between Sc
attic and Juneau which did not
provide any additional charge for
stopovers between the United
States and Alaska. Pan American
also proposed reductions in pas
senger fares between Seattle and
Fairbanks, Portland and Fair
banks, and between Portland
Seattle and Ketchikan-Juneau.
Pacific Northern Airlines also
has proposed lower fares between
Seattle and Juneau and other
points in Alaska where fares are
based on the Seattle-Juneau fare.
In addition, Pacific Northern
seeks to reduce fares between Sc
attic and Anchorage and Portland
and Anchorage.
Alaska Airlines proposes re-
duction in it's Seattle-Fairbanks
and Portland-F airbanks fares.
In addition, Alaska Airlines is
requesting a SIS one-way fare
differential between its DC-4 air.
craft and Pan Americans DC-6B
aircraft on flights between Port
land and Seattle and Fairbanks.
Alaska Airlines contends it
needs a fare SIS lower than Pan
American to enable it to retain
it's 80 percent participation in the
total Fairbanks West Coast mar
ket which is achieved for the
first time in the last half of 1858.
Henry w. Bierds, Alaska Air
lines executive and the first wit
ness at the hearing, estimated that
if Pan American has a 500 one
way fare and Alaska charges SIS
it would help overcome the effect
of Pan Americans worldwide
advertising and the preference
shown to Pan American by travel
agencies throughout the country.

New Game Law
 Regulation Books Ready This Month

A number or significant chang es in the Alaska Game Law regu- lations were announced this week by Secretary of the Interior Douglas Mckay. The 1954-55 rules become effective on July 1.
 As the result of requests from sportsmen the regulations for inc first time permit moose hunting with bow and arrow in inc Anch- orage area.
 The new regulations permit the taking of mature caribou of either sex in areas open to hunting. The taking of female caribou and lawns was prohibited in some areas last year.
 To simplify their use, rules have been revised to include tab les setting forth season and bag limits for specific areas. Five days have been added to the gunning season for moose east of Al de- grees w. Longitude in southeast ern Alaska. In the Kenai Penin- sula area, g days have been ad- ded. The season in part of the Alaska Peninsula area has been reduced from 20 days to 16. A 10-day season has been approved for the taking of caribou on a part of the Alaska Peninsula where the hunting of these ani- mals was previously not permit ted.
 The taking of elk, which was formerly allowed under limit ed number of permits, will not be continued.
 Twelve days have been added to the season for mountain goats, except in southeastern Alaska where the season will remain un- changed. There will be separate opening dates for mountain sheep hunting in the areas north and south of the Yukon River. The season will be heightened by Is and 10 days, respectively. The season for brown and grizzly bear on Kodiak Island has been shortened by 35 days. A redefin- ition of open areas for hunting other species of bears will give additional protection to the glac- fer (blue) bear.
 Printed copies of the regula- tions, as amended, will be avail able this month at the regional office of Fish and Wildlife Ser vice in Juneau, or from local en- forcement officers throughout the Territory.
