BURBANK, Calif., (A>)
Search is continuing north
Burbank, Calif., for a missing
Western Air Lines plane, but
hope has been virtually abandon-
ed that the eleven aboard will be
found alive. The two-engined
craft disappeared yesterday in a
flight from Salt Lake City to
Burbank.
The hunt is centering on the
summit of Angeles Forest High-
way where two road workers say
they saw a terrific flash at a time
coinciding with the plane’s dis-
appearance.
Ten planes are assisting in the
search today in addition to ground
posses equipped with walkie-
talkie radio sets.
ATHENS, Nov. 14 VP)— Bord-
er clashes between Greeks and
Yugoslavs are becoming more
and more serious. Today it was
learned that the Athens govern-
ment has declared unofficially
that the situation has all the
ear-marks of an undeclared war
against Greece.
The latest incident, in which
two companies of Greek troops
are said to have suffered heavy
casualties near the frontier,
brought out a rash of conferences
in Athens, political and military
ohiefs were culled in, including
British military men in Athens.
To meet what it views as
mounting peril, the government
has appealed to opposition lead-
ers, requesting them to take
part in an emergency meeting to
consider Greece’s position.
(But opposition guerrilla forces
still are being hunted down. The
latest story is that Greek army
units dispersed what was des-
cribed as a Communist band
which had attacked a village in
the Pindus mountains. So broad (
Abner's Cleaning Plant, which
was forced to close down a few
weeks ago because of a destruc-
tive fire, is back in operation
again.
The building, which was badly
damaged in the fire, has been re-
modeled and both the exterior
and the inside have been made
very attractive. Mr. Abner has
put his equipment back in good
condition and has everything con-
veniently arranged for the serv-
ice of his customers.
The name Idaho is derived from
the Indian words “edah hoe,”
meaning light on the mountains.

NANKING, Nov. 14 (Ab—The
number one Chinese Communist
negotiator has walked out on the
peace negotiations between the
Communists and the Nationalists
government.
The Communist leader, Chou
En-Lai, told the Associated Press
he is returning to Yenan from
Nanking because his mission has
failed. His walk-out comes on the
eve of the convening of the con-
stitutional national assembly. The
Communists have declined to
take part in the assembly unless
the government changes its
status.
The action will automatically
end the work of the committee
of three, of which General George
Marshall of the United States is
chairman. Marshall, Chou and a
representative of the Nationalist
Government have been working
to find a solution to the prolonged
civil war.
Chou said he regards Marshall
as “one of the keenest men” he
has ever known. He declared that
Chiang Kai-Shek is “tearing to
pieces” the cease-fire agreement
which was reached by the politi-
cal consultative conference last
January. He also said Chiang has
violated the pact for military re-
organization. Said Chou:
“Those agreements are the basis
of my mission and that mission
now is terminated. Therefore,
there is nothing else for me to do
but return to Yenan.”

■V THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Organized labor has explained
why it opposed the formation of
a national guard unit at Texas
City. The explanation comes
from Morris Akin of Austin, the
executive secretary of the Texas
state industrial union. He says:
Persons who seem most in-
terested in the cavalry unit in
Texas City were the big oil com-
panies and army brass hats, it
was believed they were attempt-
ing to organize a strike-breaking
agency because no other need
was obvious.”
Akin said his information came
from CIO organizer, Joe McGee
iwho Akin said is a world war
two veteran and was designated
by both the CIO and AFL to
offer objections to a national
guard unit being formed in Texas
City.
Akin denied a statement made
by Colonel G. C. P. Gifford of
Houston. Colonel Gifford quotca
McGee as warning that if a na-
• tional guard unit is formed in
Texas City, the unions would
black-ball and picket every store
in Texa« City 24 hours a day
until the organization of the
guard was halted. Akin says this
isn’t so.
Organized labor’s opposition to
the national guard unit in the
industrial city was made public
yesterday by the commanding
officer of the Texas National
'Guard, Lieutenant General Fred
Walker. The Texas City council,
however, has approved a nation-
al guard unit.

HOUSTON, Nov. 14 (A*)— Fire-
weeks are in prospect tenight in-
Houston when the state execu-
tive committee and the young
Democratic clubs of Texas hold
a session. This meeting proceeds
the opening of the annual Yonng
Democrats convention in Hous-
ton tomorrow.
The executive
faced with
troubles similar to those
perienced by the elder Demo-
crats at the state convention in
San Antonio last September. For
example, two Harris County
groups are seeking recognition.
One claims to be the legally con-
stituted delegation led by J. Ed-
win SYnith. The other group,
which calls itself the “pre-war-
young Democrats.” Is led 1
Charles Mnrphy, Jr., a Legisla-
tire-elect from Harris County.
The Murphy group contends
the Smith Group is dominated
by the CIO and pinks." And the
Harris county split followed a
riotous session three weeks ago.
A leader ni the Murphy group
of Harris County young Demo-
crats, Jimmy Brinkley, says the
election of a temporary chairman
at tomorrow’s state convention of
Young Democrats will determine
which Marris County group will
be recognized. William Shaw of
Dallas has been mentioned as
the “pre-war group’s candidate
i for chairman
The name of J. Edwin Smith
of Houston has cropped up in
talk of candidates to be offered
by the group now in control of
th Texas Young Democrats. The
Present head of the state orgon-
ization is Jack Carter of Fort
Worth.

LONDON, Nov. 14 (A5)—The
split in Britain’s Labor Party is
growing wider. Thirteen more La-
bor members of party have joined
the revolt against Prime Minister
Attlee’s foreign policy. They
want a Socialist foreign policy to
prevent what they call an other-
wise inevitable conflict between
I American capitalism and Soviet
Communism I
The split began when a small
group stubbornly refused to with-
draw a parliamentary resolution
condemning British foreign pol-
icy. Now the Labor party rebels
have grown to 33. t wenty more
Labor members of Parliament are
opposed to the British govern-
ment's peacetime conscription.
Each group has presented its
objection in the form of an
amendment to King George the
sixth’s speech on Tuesday.
But there seems little chance
that either amendment can get a
majority vote. The rebels aren’t
a large enough group yet. The
Labor party holds a two-to-one
majority in the House of Com-
tnons. Even so, the British Press
Association is calling the rebel-
lion a Labor party crisis.

Today In Attempt

Interior Secretary Julius Krug

L. Lewis in an effort to avert a
nationwide shutdown of soft coal
mines. Yesterday Krug held two

PARIS, Nov. 14 (A*)— The
Communists are making their bid
for power in France. Today they
demanded that a Communist be
named premier of the Fourth
Rebublic. What’s more, they’ve
called upon the Socialists to
join them in forming a leftist
1 government. That was the gist
of a communique issued by the
| political bureau of the French
I Communist party which last
Sunday became the largest single
party in the new French Assemb-
ly-
Both demands were regarded
by observers as a step toward
reinforcing Red ambitions for
key cabinet posts such as foreign
affairs, the War Ministry and
police. How far they will get is
still a moot point. The Socialists
have in the past declared them-
selves against a leftist front cab-
inet.
As for the Communists demand
for a Red Premier, that may or
may not come to pass. The pres-
ent premier, president and for-
eign minister of France’s pro-
visional government, Georges
Bidault, has decided to tender
the resignation of his cabinet as
soon as the newly elected As-
sembly is organized. That will
be on November 28th. There are
two Communists who might suc-
ceed him. One is Maurice Thorez,
vice primier of the present pro-
visional regime. The other is
Jacques Dulos, the Communists
party secretary who is recognized
as the leading international Com-
munist in France.
Kentucky is named after the
Indian phrase meaning land of
tomorrow.

BISHOP’S STORTF ORD, Eng.
(A5)— One hundred and twenty
Czechs, age 16 to 20, are now
well into the first course at Czech
College in the country mansion
of Hassobury Park.
They started in to study Eng-
lish language and literature and

ber and will continue until next
August.
Organized by the Workers’
Academy of Prague, finanched by
the Czechoslovak government I
and aided by British, the courses
will be held every ten months.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14 (Ab—
President Truman will take a
one-week vacation at Key West
in Florida.
The White House announced to-
day that the President will leave
Washington Sunday morning (10
a. m. Eastern Standard Time),
traveling aboard his special four-
engined plane. He will land at
Boca Chica airport and from
there he will go to the Key West
Naval Base by automobile.
In announcing the plans, White
House Secretary Charley Ross
told newsmen “This is a rest trip.”
Ross explained it may be the
last chance Mr. Truman will have
to get away for that long a per-
iod for some time.
Making the trip with the presi-
dent will be Clark Clifford,
presidential counsel; Brigadier
General Wallace Graham, the
White House physician; Captain
James H. Foskett, a Naval aide;
Edwin A. Lock, jr., a special as-
sistant; Captain C. L. Freeman,
skipper of the yacht Williams-
burg. and Ross.

oil proration hearing in Austin.
Jack Porter of Houston declared
that over-production of crude oil
and petroleum refinery products
is creating an unsound condition
in the oil industry througout the
the nation.
There is only one answer to
the problem, said Porter, and
that is prompt reduction of pro-
duction in keeping with con-
sumptive demand for crude oil.
Porter, who heads the Texas in-
dependent producers and royalty
owners association, recommend-
ed to the state railroad commis-
sion that it fix December pro-
duction at 1,901,00 barrels per
day.
The figure Porter proposed is
considerably below the purchas-
ers nomination, which total 2,-

Republican steering committees
qji the Senate and Houseware
meeting today to map their leg-
islative program in the new
Congress. The man who became
majority floor leader in the
Senate, Wallace White of Maine,
s^d that he will urge his col-
leagues to center their fire on a
few major issues and not spread
their efforts all over the Jot.
White declared that the GOP
should make a minimum num-
ber of promises that can be car-
ried out and them fulfill these
pledges.
However, all signs point to
agreement on a legislative pro-
gram, but not on questions of
leadership. This is particularly
true in the house where a strug-
gle is raging against a backdrop
of 1948 presidential prospects.
The fight is especially bitter in
the House, where a floor leader
must be chosen to succeed Joe

“He was a good customer, but he

Aside from that flaw, which a

Astier said Hugo was better than

BALTIMORE, Nov. 14 (A*)— |
States Commissioner I
James K. Cullen has dismissed I
charges against three former ser- I
vicemen who were accused of 1
I trying to sell unauthorized pic- I
tures of atomic bomb equipment. |
Commissioner Cvllen refused "
to hold the three men for Fed-
eral Grand Jury action because
he felt insufficient evidence had
been offered to substantiate the
charge. Said Cullen:
“I do not know whether such
evidence exists. The district at-
torney may still take the case to
the grand jury if there is such
evidence. I will not frown upon
such a move.”
The men were George Comer,
23, and Miles Daubenheyer, 26,
both of Bel Air, Md.; and James
Rike, 26, of Chattanooga, Tenn.
They were arrested on October
ninth when they approached the
editors of the Baltimore News-
Post and offeredMo sell six pic-
tures for $7,000.
At the time the arrests were
made, the Department of Justice
said they were pictures of the
atomic bomb. However, the
army’s manhattan project declar-
ed later that the photographs
showed only “related equipment.”
FRANKFURT, Germany, Nov.
14 (/P)—American military police
have arrested eight men describ-
ed by army officers as leaders of
one of the largest black market
gangs in Germany. The men were
seized at Zeilsheim in a raid on a
Jewish displaced persons camp
which was the base of the black
market operations.
Army authorities confiscated
about fifty automobiles, hundreds
of thousands of German marks,
several thousands in military
scrip, and forbidden American
and English money.
The black market
was seized in a dawn raid carried
out by 100 military policemen and
25 agents of the army’s Criminal
Investigation Division. Corres-
pondents were permitted to watch
the operation. They say that no
resistance was encountered and
no violence was observed.
The Zeilsheim camp houses
about 4,000 homeless Jews. Army
officials admittedly were reluct-
ant to move against the long-
suspected camp in fear of possi-
ble criticism or complaints of
anti-Semitism. For this reason,
special precautions were taken to
avoid trouble. German police
were barred from the vicinity
and mililaiy policemen were giv-
en strict orders not to enter any
buildings forcibly and not to
manhandle camp occupants.
One of the men arrested was
the alleged ringleader. He had
escaped from a Frankfurt jail
only a few days ago. Most of the
men arrested had no identity pa-
pers and were not listed official-
ly on the camp records. The UNR-
RA director of the Jewish pro-
ject estimated that several hund-
red persons without records had
infilterated into the camp.
An Army Provost Marshal,
Lieutenant Colonel Redmond J.
Connolly of Brooklyn, N. Y., said
the black market was operated
throughout the entire American
occupation zone. Connolly said
the headquarters of the gang was
a bakery shop. He described the
bakery’s telephone as the “most
used” in Germany.
Military police said the raid
followed word that food was be-
ing sold at sidewalk stands at
black market prices. Oranges
were said to sell at 100 marks
each, or about ten dollars apiece
at the legal rate of exchange.
Tomorrow night’s football gai
■ between the Mt. Pleasant Tigi
and the Winnsboro Raiders is
clash between the two top teai
in the district and will probak
decide who will carry off t
district championship. Al prese
count the Tigers have neith
lost nor tied a game; where;
Winnsboro has a tied game
their credit as a result of the
clash with Mt. Vernon.
Up until the latter part of la
week the dope gave the T.ge
a decided edge over their oppoi
ents for tomorrow night, but sine
that time Roy Trice, punting, pas
ing, running and ball-handlin
quarterback, has been out of pra<
tice with a serious injury to h;
right shoulder and will not pla
against the Raiders. Odds on th
locals, therefore, have falle
way down.
Also, since Trice was hurt an
other backfield man, Calvii.
Rains, has been removed fron
practice because of back injuries!
It is still a question whether oif
not he will be in the game this
week.
Despite the crippling injurie;
that have dogged the Tigers lately
fans can still expect one of the
best games of the season tomor-
row night. It will be played on
the Winnsboro field and it if
estimated that at least a thutisan'a;
people from Mt. Pleasant will be
on hand for the opening kick-off.
As a matter of interest, and as
a sidelight on this season’s con-
test, this writer has had prepared
for him a history of past games
between these two hard-fighting
ball clubs. Closer inspection of
1 the record below will show that
since 1927 (with no game sched- i
tiled in 1929) the Tigers have won ,
twelve games, the Raiders have
won five, and one game ended in
a 0-0 tie. The Tigers have taken
aii the events since 1938.
The record is as follows:

Other historical information re-
leased today showed that the
highest scoring year ever record-
ed in favor of the Tigers was in
1930, when Coach W. L. Crawford
had charge of the squad. In that
year the boys amassed a total of
331 points and allowed 101 points
for their opponents. This year,
under Coach Homer Coody, they
have a total f 259 points to their
opponents 19 and have at least
two more games to play. In 1940,
when the Tigers on the Regional
play-off under Coach W. E. Baze,
the Tigers ran up a total of 204
points to their opponents 84.
