No Hint of Success Reported
In Widespread Aerial Search
LONDON, Oct. 12—W—Distress signals spurred a gigantic
search today for a U. S. transport plane missing with 59 serv-
icemen aboard. There was not a hint of success.
At least 80 planes from bases in a half dozen countries—-
including giant six-engine U. S. stratojet bombers—an aircraft
carrier and destroyers scoured j

I DON’T know if the letter above
1 was written on assignment as
part of a campaign to promote
PTA membership, or not. It has
a certain air of sincerity about
it that indicates it might have
been written by a youngster who
is having difficulty getting in-
terest aroused at home or wants
to help out a buddy who feels I
such a need. The line about )
“each room” getting credit,
however, points rather to a con-
test of sorts to enlist parental
cooperation.
Whatever the motive back of it
the letter, as received, con-
vinces me of one thing. Someone
should be taking greater interest ,
in the training of school young-
sters, if this is a fair example of
their grammar and spelling. The
handwriting was very good, hut
there was only a single sentence
which was free of error. If a
membership in PTA will help to
improve that situation, I'd say
that it's worth many times the 50
cents quoted as the cost.—RJD.
TOURING the Rock Island shops and yards today this group

eral freight traffic manager, right of Dennis, and I. C. Bruce,
assistant vice-president in charge of traffic, left of Dennis,

Chickasha has only a 12-6 win

know this isn't true, because
they get the bills for a lot of

But back to base came these re-

luck. Nothing sighted.”
Long Silence Broken
The missing plane, a 018 Lift-
master of the U. S. military air
transport service, was due at La-
jes airbase on the Azores, Thurs-
day morning. It - carried 50 air-
force personnel returning to the
Unitod States from duty in Britain
and a navy flight crew of nine.
After a long silence a string of
SOS signals were picked up by
commercial airliners flying early
today between Britain and New
York. Belief was expressed the
distress ealls might be coming from
portable transmitters on rubber life

craft.
Land Signals Noted
But in New York, three trans-
Atlantic pilots who heard the dis-
tress signals said they were later
informed the calls came from land
stations sending out alerts about
the plane.
They said they got that informa-
tion from station EJK in Ireland
and from the Prestwick, Scotland,
radio station.
Study of City
Wages Started
In a 1:30 p.m. meeting today the
five-man wage committee set up
by Mayor Paul Liebmann receiv-
ed information regarding present
wages scales of city employees.
The committee, meeting for the
first time since they were an-
nounced Thursday, heard reports
from committee member and city
manager C. A. Bentley regarding
the present scale used for city
workers and a breakdown of the
pay schedule.

'Might Be President*
"How many times does a man
break faith with you and still re-
tain your trust and confidence?”
the Tennessee Democrat asked in
his prepared remarks.
Following Nixon by about four
hours, Kefauver struck out at the
vice president, declaring "he is not
a friend of the American farmer.
“I am glad you farmers had a
chance today to see and hear Vice
President Nixon. He might be pres-
ident one of these days if the Re-
publicans stay in power,” Ke-
fauver said.
Hits 'Cruel Hoax'
Nixon, taking the speaker's ros-
trum first at the 153-acre contest
site, accused the Democrats of "a
cruel hoax” to snare the farm vote.
The high rigid price support pol-
icies they advocate, Nixon said in
a prepared address, would slam a
lid on what he described as "the
upward trend in farm income.”
He asked support of the admin-
istration farm program that in-
cludes flexible price supports, a
soil bank plan under which the
farmers can qualify for benefits by
taking some land out of production,
and efforts to increase markets for
farm products.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12 —W—
Negro Representative Adam Clay-

a leader of the house civil rights
bloc, has thrown his support to
President Eisenhower in a surprise
election-year move.
Powell announced after a 25-
minute conference with Eisenhower
yesterday that he will support
Eisenhower for reelection because
of his stand on civil rights and be-
cause of his great prestige among
the western powers of the free
world.

members, supported Adlai E. Ste-

The committee was appointed by
Liebmann Thursday as a follow-up
to the council meeting on the first
of the month during which the
VFW and a group of private citi-
zens appealed for wage increases
for the police department.

The council at that time ex-
pressed the feeling that if wages
were to be increased they should
be increased in all departments
and Liebmann said he would ap-
point the committee to investi-

increase.
