Airplanes of today are. among
other things, a lot of noise,
And as jet engines are put

They have found the screaming
whine of a jet engine can do
damage to people who have to
listen to the noise all day.
Trying to avert a widespread

"Appeal' Upheld
In Court OF Law

LAS VEGAS, New. IA court
Of law has now confirmed what
most moviegoers have known for
long time: Jane Russell's "box-
office appeal was-and is-large,"
and she is mot a waste of cor
porate assets"
With this pronouncement Dist.
Judge Frank McNamee dismissed
yesterday a group of suits brought
by minority stockholders against
Howard Hughes, head of RKO
studios.
Among stockholders contentious
was one that Hughes, discoverer
of Miss Russell, wasted 500, 900 of
corporation assets by re-signing
her in 1948.
The decree cleared the way for
total acquisition of RKO by Hughes
who a few weeks ago offered
$23, 489, 47S for all the outstanding
stock. The stockholders vote of
acceptance was overwhelming.

Additionally COP Maine Elects
 Dem. Governor

PORTLAND, Maine, P-Tra- ditionally Republican Maine chose a Democrat for governor in Tues days first-in-the-nation election and COP leaders said defeat of Republican Gov. Burton M. Cross was due to dissension in party ranks.
 Edmund s. Muskie, 39-year- old lawyer and Democratic National Committeeman, turned b c k Cross quest for reelection in the first major Democratic victory in Maine in 20 years.
 The voters also sharply cut the margins of victory generally ac- corded other top Republican can- didates while re-electing US. Sen. Margaret Chase Smith and three US. representatives, all of whom bear the COP label
 It was the first defeat in a long political career for Cross, a 51-year-old florist.
 In modern times, no other COP governor has ever been denied second term.
 Cross, a mild-spoken, suave and not very colorful campaigner, lost to a tall, curly-haired force ful speaker popular in Republi- can ranks while he served as Democratic minority leader of the Maine House in 1945.
 Cross first administration was termed a Upland dictatorship" by one Republican editor in an edi- torial
 Republican National Commit teeman Fred C. Scribner Jr., at- tributed Muskie's win to split ticket voting by Republicans.
 "The Republicans elected Mus kie, there's no question about it, said Scribner.

Nixon and Martin Start Campaigns Tours Over Nation

WASHINGTON, lR-Two of the Republican Party's top campaign CTS, Vice President Richard M. Nixon and House Speaker Joseph w. Martin Jr., took off in char tered planes today for intensive speaking tours over the nation, spurred by frank admission the COP is running scared"
 Both Nixon and Martin said they are confident the Republi- mans can hold control of Congress in the November voting. But the Vice President conceded his party might be behind" at this time and said a lot of work is needed in the next seven weeks.
 Nixon said the Republican set back in Maine on Monday might turn out to be a blessing in dis guise for the party. He said there is apathy and lethargy in some parts of our organization" and the Maine results should help to dis pei this.
 The two party leaders spoke briefly at a breakfast at National Airport given by Leonard w.. Hall, Republican national chair man, for newspapermen and for members of the two travelling parties.
 Nixon then left for Columbus, Ohio, the first stop of nine-day tour during which he will make appearances in 13 cities. He speaks in Columbus tonight.
 Martin left for Newark, NJ. There are 16 other cities on his schedule, which will take him as far as the Pacific Coast.

 q thought they either would leave me in that prison until I routed or that they would kill me- he said
 The Reds released Applegate, International News Service corre- spondent Donald Dixon, 25, of New York, and merchant mariner Benjamin Krasner at the Lowu border bridge. A US. consulate car brought them the 40 miles to the Peninsula Hotel at KoWloon, on the mainland across from Hong Kong.

Nationalist Ships Shell Lighthouse; Reds' Ships Sunk

TAIPEH, Formosa, Thursday, Sept. Is, R-The lighthouse of the Red port of Annoy was demolished yesterday by Nationalist warships in he ceaseless attacks on the mainland, the Taipeh defense ministry said.
 Great clouds of smoke also rose from Chingyu Island, near Annoy, after a naval shelling. A commit nique said war planes in undis- closed force sank three Red craft near the Nationalist Island of Quemoy and killed numerous Communist soldiers in strafing runs.
 The ministry said planes and warships had sunk 180 military iunks, 4 gunboats and 22 motor ized boats since the west pocket war" broke out Sept. 3 around Quemoy, no miles across For mosa Strait from Formosa. Que moy is seven miles from Annoy.
 Nationalist operations, however, have slackened, and it is likely that future attacks will be of a routine nature barring unforeseen developments.
 The interior ministry's Tato News Agency carried an uncon- firmed report that the Communist 5th Marine Division had been brought up early this month from the Canton area to the country side back of Quemoy.
