Five Members Of Family Die in In Big Mudslide

ROSEBURG, Oregon, R-Five members of a family were killed Monday when a mudslide broke loose in a canyon and crushed their home to bits. Three children somehow survived.
 Dead are Marion E. Neal and his wife Acerena, both about 45, and their children, Mary, IS, Backy, 2, and Tom, IT. The bodies of all but Tom were recovered. His is buried in the mud at the slide scene near Remote, a little community in southwest Oregon.
 Three other Neal children sur vived: Margaret Elaine, 13, who suffered neck injuries, Billy, 6, cuts and bruises, and Avis, 8, un- hurt.
 Douglas County Coroner l.. l.. Powers said the stunned children were unable to give a coherent account. But he pieced together this story of the tragedy, worst in the history of Remote.
 At about 4:3O am. a huge wave of mud, higher than the Neal's one-story frame house, broke from a canyon and crashed over the structure.
 This battered the house into bits and swept the pieces 300 feet across field. "There aren't two sticks of wood still nailed togeth- er," Powers said.
 The family was in bed. The three surviving children finished the night huddled together, then looked for their parents.
 The tragedy was discovered at 9:30 am. by John CaWrse, the Meals closest neighbor who lives a mile away. He noted that a power failure had stopped his clock at APO am. and was out looking for the power line break.

WASHINGTON RAThe Senate Internal Security Subcommittee described the Communist Party of the United States Tuesday as Russianinspired, Moscow domin- ated, anti-American, quasi-mili- tary conspiracy against our gov ernment, our ideals and our free doms."
 The description was provided in a 100page booklet, "A hand book for Americans" put out by the subcommittee with the avoWed aim of exposing what Communism really is.
 The subcommittee quoted the finding of the Subversive Activi- ties Control Board (SACB) in 1853 that the US. Communist Party is substantially directed, dominated and controlled by the Soviet Union"
 Chairman Eastland O-Miss) said in a foreword:
 "The average American is un- aware of the amount of misinfor- nation about the Communist Par ty USA which appears in the public press, in books and in utter ances of public speakers Tn part, this transformation is planted consciously by members of the party, using ways and means cal culated to have the greatest effect in poisoning the channels of Am erican public opinion.
 In part, it is due to our ignor- ance of the problem-the problem of the existence in our midst of mass conspiratorial organization controlled by a foreign power. The

Search Resumes For Two Men Lost In WildS Of Canadian Yukon Terri.

FAIRBANKS, R--- Search for Forest Wright and Andy War wick, missing three weeks yester- day in the wilderness of western Canada, has been resumed out of the small Yukon river town of Eagle.
 Bush planes took three day break to spend the Christmas holiday with their families and to get their planes serviced.
 Three pilots, including Al Wright, brother of one of the missing men, returned to Eagle yesterday. If the missing pair landed safely, their 30-day supply of rations would be running low. Fewer planes are participating in the search because of extreme danger in flying the uncharted region dotted with 5000 to 5000 foot peaks
 'We were lucky to get all the planes in safely" Al Wright said. Ut was a matter of counting noses every night when they landed at Eagle"

Communist problem is unique in our history.
 "We earnestly believe that, giv- en a more accurate knowledge of the Communist conspiracy, fewer Americans will fall victim to it's Wiles," the foreward added.
 The handbook quotes from Communist doctrinal writings, testimony in hearings before the SAGE, it's own subversive investi- gations and those of the House Committee on Un-American Ac- tivities, ito differentiate the Com munist Party from bona fide po- litical parties in the US"
 In this country, it said, the Communist Party regards itself as "a commando force operating in enemy territory in behalf of the Soviet fatherland."

Dinkins And
Alfred To
Captain Jaguar

Co-captains for the Southern
University Jaguar Cats are Rob
ert Dinkins, an All-American full
back from Shreveport, and Kirklin
Alfred, a rugged linesman from
Washington, D. C. Both are seniors
and have seen real tour of duty
in previous campaigns.
A former prep star, Dinkins es-
tablished himself as a rugged back
field man during his freshman year,
when he quickly won a starting
berth, a position he has not re-
linquished. He led the Jaguars last
season in yards gained rushing
with 1867 yards and also in total
points scored with 70 points.
Always a dependable linesman,
Alfred blossomed into the headlines
during last season and was the
mainstay of the Cats forward wall

ing Jaguars.

The supports of DR.. Hair with

he was licensed to preach at the
age of II, and admitted to the
Conference at the age of IA. He
was educated at Campbell College,

and the University of Chicago. He
has served as a member of every
General Conference since 1908.
AS an organizer and builder they
point to the fact that he once saved
the Church in Jackson, Mississippi,
which has since become the mother
church of the state, organized and
built "a other churches.
Both as a pastor and presid-
ing elder he has proven to be one
of the outstanding Missionary
voices of the connection having
brought many converts into the
church during his many years of
service.
His wide business knowledge and
his wide acquaintance with bank

made his service invaluable to the
Presiding Bishops of the Eighth

The Governors urged that the
arbitration dispute itself "also

Marion Perkins skips the
pretty bows. the smiles, and the
Ifrippery. She mods briefly in q
husinesslike way to the audience,
sits down at the keyboard, and
proceeds to make music.
This fine pianist evidently be-
lieves in cutting right through to
the essential rnusic-and no
monkeyshines about 1t. She re-
lies not upon mannerisms, but
rather upon q solid technique
and an irnpetuous musical intel
ligence. In these things she much
resembles her great teacher, the
late Artur Schnabel.
Last night at the National
Gallery. masterpieces Of the 18th
century were stressed. From the
outset, Miss Perkins made It
clear that this was music after
her own heart.
The Schnmann @ minor So
Inata Is famous as the piece in
which the composer asks the
pianist to start the first move
ment @as fast as possible" then
asks him to 60 faster" and yet
again "still faster" It is no
longer often heard In concert
halls. Miss Perkins made one
wonder why; despite its snowy
gloss, it is still o wonderfully
tender sonata. In q Fortnight,
leyel-headed reading such as
was this one. 1t stands up ex-
ceedingly well.
Miss Perkins also was partic-
ularly successful In recreating
the beauties Of another some
what faded romantic landmark,
Mendelssohn's Variations Serie-
uses" Her Brahms and Chopin
were both highly commendahle.
During the recital, two new
American KieceR received Wash.
ington premieres. Russell Harris
set was o rather pointless and
|innocuous inconsequentiality, but
Paul Fetler's Hindemithian "Im-
promptu" proved TO be q solidly
impressive opus. Miss Perkins
was quite at home with
its astringent harfmonies and its
strong lines, playing 1t with
convincing elegance and Inn
agination.
