stated in the President’s annual report to Congress on the
United Nations and the U. S. role therein.
Neither the President nor Marshall, in their letters
of transmittal with the 359-page report, named the of-

BROWNSVILLE Tex., Feb. 20.
(UJO—The lone survivor of the
two-man crew of a DC-3 transport
plane headed back home today
aboard the ship Roitan, his 10-day
wait for rescue on a life raft in
the Gulf of Mexico at an end.
The Roitan, of Pan American
registry, radioed the Public Rela-
tions office here' last night that
it had picked up Esteban de Leon,
co-pilot of the war-time C-47,
about 150 to 200 miles out at sea.
The Mexican aviator, whoae
home was listed as Matamoros,
told ship’s officer* that the craft'*
pilot, Niel Womack, died on the
raft two days ago. Womack’s
home was listed at Brownsville.
The airplane took off from the
airport here 10 days ago for an
overwater hop to Carmen, Mexico.
It carried approximately 5,000
pounds of ice and was to have
ferried fresh fish back to Browns-
ville.
The vessel was due to arrive
here about noon Saturday, Pan
American officials aaid.
Air and sea searching parties
combed the water routes that the
two were believed to have used
in a fruitless search. The search
finally was called off last Tues-
day. ’
sic commodities dropped 2.5 ' per
eent last week, the sharpest break
since Sept. 1946.
The department said that farm
products showed the biggest break,
dipping 7.5 per cent in the seven-
day period.
Patsy D'Agostino, president of
the National Association of Retail
Grocers, said that a telegram sur-
vey of the nation’s independent
food stores showed that price* of
nearly all food* continued a down-
ward trend begun last week. •
