The drowning victim was

Mr.. McGhee, who is SO, Mr..

into the water near the mouth
of the Swift hydroelectric

Mr.. Moser was pulled to
safety by other workers. Min

body appeared at the other end
Of the 2,990-foot tunnel. Then
frantic efforts began to res
cue Mr.. McGhee. who could be
seen some 400 feet inside the
tunnel-knee deep in frigid

American experts and tech
niques Of amphibious logistics
operations.
Operations Speeded
With beach parties better
organized to handle the flow
of supplies, and ships combat
loaded so that trucks and am
phibious vehicles can roll of
loaded, a much more efficient
and rapid operation can be
achieved. he said.
This officer suggested that
Nationalist counter-battery fire
against Red gun emplacements
during the time the supply
ships are actually on the beach
probably could reduce the vol
ume Of enemy fire.
Despite the great number of
shells which have been rained
on Quemoy. casualties among
the 100000 troops and civilians
have been extremely light.
And there has been little real
damage to the islands defenses,
he said.
One Pentagon expert, noting
that American 255-millimeter
shells cost $22 apiece, figured
that the Reds already have fired

A suit filed in the United
States District Court for the
District of Columbia commended
that in September, 1855, Welker
C. Mitchell, colored, then l6,
was denied membership in one
Of the clubs solely because Of
his race and color"
The Commissioners then con-
tended that the many man
days Of work spent by police
men in connection with So
Letting funds did not impair
the policemen's availability for
general duty. The suit con-
tended the club has become
involved and enmeshed by its
operations and financial de-
pendence upon the District OF

The District chapter OF the
National Association for the
Advancement of Colored Peo-
pie attacked the policy OF seq
regation in the clubs.
On November q, 1857, Dis
trict Court Judge Burnita Shell
ton Matthews upheld the oper-
alton of the Washington Police
Boys Club on a racially segre-
gated basis. She held it was a
private charitable corporation
directed, maintained and oper-
ated predominantly by private
citizens.
She ruled that the fact po-
lice aided in securing contribu-
tons has not changed its pri-
vate nature or made it an in
strument of government for
the administration Of public
duties" She held it was not an
arm or agency of the District
of Columbia government. She
said the practice by the club OF
operating on a segregated basis
is private action not forbidden
by the Fifth Amendment to the
Constitution.
The club continued to oper-
ate on a segregated basis.

tired police chief. founded the

The Chinese Reds have

artillery campaign on Au-
gust %.
This was the United States
Nays unofficial estimate made
in reply to a reporters inquiry

Most of the Communist shells
have been of the l22-millimeter
size. But many of the larger,
2-millimeter type have hit the
Nationalist-held off-shore is
land. as have a smaller number
of 76.2-millimeter projectiles.
Reports this morning from
the Far East, however, said the
Chinese Reds were bringing up
Soviet-made 203 milimeter and
2l2 milimeter guns. apparently
in a neffort to get at the con-

Surprisingly. the Navy esti-
mate is considerably higher

1.-THE leaders Of American
labor called on President Eisen-
hover and the State Depart
ment today to discontinue all
military and financial assist
ance which France uses to wage
war against the Algerian peo-
pie"
In a blast at the French
colonialists," the AFL-CIO
Executive Council told the
President in an official state
iment, "The time has come for
our Government to implement
the traditional anti-colonial
policy Of the United States"
The executive council termed
shocking" the French Air
Force bombardment of the
Tunisian village of Sakiet- Sidi-
Youseff, on the Algerian border
and declared that the terrible
war" in Algeria is a threat to
world peace and freedom.
The merged labor fedora
] tons statement said American
aid to the French had enabled
that country TO wage war
against its former North Afri-
can colony.
Peace Program Outlined
In another statement on the
international situation, the
council proposed q 6-point pro-
gram which it said would pre-
serve world peace, extend free
dom and defeat the Communist
challenge" The progra m,
which the executive council
said should be spark-plugged
by the United States Govern
ment, embraces the following
points:
/. A conference Tor reouclng
trade barriers and increasing
the productivity and purchas-
ing power Of all nontotali-
tartan countries.
2. A worldwide project for
the development of water re-
sources, embodying "the prin-
ciples of the Tennessee Valley
Authority"
3. Broader exchange of in
formation on the use Of atomic
energy for peaceful purposes.
4. Expansion of oficial Amer
lean information agencies $50
that they might serve more
effectively in promoting world
knowledge and understanding
of the democratic aspirations
and institutions Of the Amer

as well as the transfer of
atomic stockpiles to peaceful

who would crown himself in
such a fashion would quickly
find the crown furnishing UNI
der the peoples appraisement
Of an act which could be inter-
preted as selfish. egotistical and
unworthily ambitious"
Decision Up 10 Congress
He said Congress. which is
directly responsible to the peo-
pie, Is the "only logical govern
ment body" to decide presiden-
tial inability. He suggested that
Congress conceivably could re-
solve the Senate and House Jul
dietary Committees into a per-
manent presidential inability
commission.
BY relieving a Vice President
of connection with the Senate,
he could thus dedicate all his
time to the executive branch
