Sen. McCarthy Asked To Aid Ike’s Campaign By JACK BELL ST. PAUL, Minn. (® — Gen Dwight D. Eisenhowe: managers | plan to call on Sen. Joseph Mc- | Carthy of Wisconsin to campaign actively for the Republican ticket on the Communist-in-government issue. Sen. Frank Carlson of Kansas, a top Eisenhower. adviser, told this | reporter an invitation to McCarthy | to campaign outside his home state is ‘in the works.” | “I fully expect that Sen. McCar- | hy will be speaking vigorously for | the ticket as soon as he recovers fully from his recent operation,” Carlson said. McCarthy, limited by physical | @sability in campaigning for re- | pomination in Wisconsin, won a smashing victory here. Apparently this convinced even the most sanguine of Eisenhower's advisers that he Wisconsin sena- | tor would be a valuable addition | to their team. The feeling among | them was that McCarthy could | lash out at the Truman adminis- | tration in blunt terms that he GOP | presidential nominee has hesitated | to use. i Thus, McCarthy, who has said he would support Eisenhower even if the latter disowned him politi- | cally, might be teamed with Sen, | Robert A. Taft of Ohio in a dou- ble-barreled answer to the “give | *em hell” campaign that President Truman is expected to launch with a Western trip staring early in | October. A speaking schedule which will | take Taft into 19 states was an- nounced by Sen. Karl Mundt of | South Dakota, co-chairman of he Republican Speakers Bureau, and Sen. Everett Dirksen of Illinois, chairman of the Republican Sena- torial Campaign Committee. The schedule calls for an evening | speech by Taft Oct. 8 at the “Pan- cake Day” celebration in Shenan- doah, Iowa, after Truman speaks from the same platform earlier in the day. McCarthy and Truman may nev- er come to such close quarters, but the decision to use the Wiscon- sin senator extensively in the cam- paign apparnetly was contingent- only on McCarthy’s acceptance and his physical conditien. This decision seemed to have been taken by the Eisenhower ad- visers in the face of the general’s criicism of Gen. George C. Mar- shall. In a Senate speech, MeCar- | Point Pleasant, W. Va., | rested last Thursday and Mrs. | White, Woman, Soldier Plot Death Of New Mexico Man ALBUQUERQUE, N. M. %—A | fragile blonde, thrice married at 20,and a young military police- man are accused of a bizarre plot to hang her 41-year-old husband. Police said they planned to kill | William White, the British - born husband, so they could be wed. Charges of conspiracy to commit murder were lodged yesterday against Mrs. Wanda White, the wife, and Cpl. William K. Oliver, 24, stationed at Sandia Special Weapons Base here. Oliver, from Chillicothe, O., and was ar- formerly of Tishomingo, Okla., was taken into custody next day, but details were not disclosed | until the complaints were filed. Chief Detective Frank Stephen- | son said an anonymous tip from one of Oliver’s Army buddies en- abled police and military investi- gators to thwart the plot. The detective chief said the couple planned for Mrs. White to lure her husband to a city park and the two proposed to force White, at gunpoint, to stand on the fender of the car so he could be hanged from a tree. Military agents said Oliver ad- mitted the hanging plot after White’s gun was discovered in his car. Mrs. White said she spends most of her time in jail reading. “I like to read—mostly love stories,” she said. |USO-YMCA Will Honor September Birthdays Strains of “Happy Birthday to You”’ will emanate from the patio of the USO-YMCA on Thursday, September 18, when the birthdays of all servicemen who were born in September are celebrated. ‘There will be a birthday cake for the September boys, and Gus Ayala and his Combo will provide their sweet music for dancing from 9 to 11.

EMONSTRATION SEA SECRETS Q. How is artificial pearl culture carried out? A. The most successful pearl cul- ture program is carried on by the Mikimoto firm of Japan, which has | produced cultured pearls since about 1894. This is accomplished by introducing an irritating substance (usually a mother-of-pearl bead) into the mantle tissues of a living | Pearl oyster. These “treated” oys- ters are kept at a depth of about 35 feet in wire baskets for a peri- od of several years, during which time the bead 1s coated with a lay- er of pearl substance secreted by the oyster. It is estimated that about 60 per cent of the treated oys- ters will produce cultured pearls in this manner. Q. Why is the Red Sea so-named? A. The name is said to be deriv- ed from the reddish color often observed in the surface waters of this sea. The color is due to the Presence of large quantities of a tiny filamentous alga or seaweed, Oscillatoria erythraea. This alga belongs to a primitive group of w: ter plants that are capable of in- deepndent movement, bending slowly from side to side or mov- ing forward on a flat surface, when observed through a microscope. The mechanism for this movement is not well understood, but it is be- lieved to occur as a result of mu- cus being exuded from the surface of the plant. Q. What is a statocyst? A. This is a specialized organ of balance possessed by certain ani- mals, particularly those belonging to the lower groups, such as crus- taceans and jellyfishes. A statocyst | consists of a tiny hollow chamber lined with sensitive nerve endings. Lying free in the center of this fluid-filled chamber is a rounded solid structure, the statolith. The force of gravity causes the stato- lith to touch certain of the nerve endngs and so aid the organism in maintaning a sense of balance. Crabs, shrmp, and lobsters uusally have a pair of statacysts, while cer- tain jellyfishes may have eight of them arranged symmetrically about their sides. Q. What fish hooks its prey? A. The deep-sea anglerfish, Las- iognathus saccostoma, employs one of the devices used by human ang- lers in the capture of fish. Attach- ed to the head of this weird but small fish is a flexible spine ending in a filament terminating in a bul- bous “bait” tipped with three re- curved spines, with which it is be- lieved to snare other fishes that may be attracted to it, The upper jaw of this particular fish is so large that it turns partially inside- out when the mouth is closed, re- vealing a fringe of needle-like teeth. Q. What is a “Gjeldstad claw”? A. This is a huge metal device resembling a pair of ice tongs but having flattened’ instead of pointed grasping tips. The Gjeldstad claw is secured to a winch-operated steel cable and is used to drag whale carcasses tail-first onto the !deck of a factory ship or dock, where they are processed. In oper- ation the claw is lowered upon the lower back, where it slides to the base of the tail flukes and locks at the narrow “‘small’’ of the baek. World Today By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON (#—If six men ex- changed their blood with one an- other in a multiple transfusion, each of them would have a rugged time ever trying to reclaim his own red corpuscles again. Six European nations — France, The Netherlands and Luxembourg —are trying to give one another a transfusion by moving toward a unity and pooling of interests from which they can't disentangle them- selves. It a triple unity and pooling toward which they're heading: economic, military and political. After their long and bloody history this is a quiet but astonishing rev- olution which in the end, of course, may not succeed The steps they have taken, and are considering, require each of the six to yield some of its ancient sovereignty If what they are doing succeeds States of Europe and include other nations, Here, briefly, is what hae been | REVIVAL SERVI | done | Economic unity: | They have made most progress in this field.

Shaf- Inhabitants Are Evacuated From Typhoon Wracked Wake By ROY ESSOYAN HONOLULU #—Trees and roofs flew through the air like straws but children sang bravely as they marched to concrete bunkers on typhoon-lashed Wake island yes- terday. Mothers comforted their children in underground shelters while wa- ter sloshed around their feet. Out- side every building except four on the flat little atool was being smashed to bits by raging winds and waves. Eyewitnesses told stories like these today from Wake and Kwa- jalein by radio as rescue opera- tions got into full swing to bring some 700 inhabitants to Honolulu. A C-97 Stratocruiser left the storm-battered atoll with 80 evac- uees. Some 600 more will follow as fast as planes can land and load up. Four injured were flown to Kwa- jalein Island, 700 miles to the south, by a PBM Martin Mariner yesterday. Radio reports continued to trick- le in with details of the terrible destruction wrought by heavy seas and wind greater than 160-miles an hour. Preliminary estimates placed the damage at 10 million dollars. Helen Hawk, a reporter for the weekly magazine Transpacifican, said, ‘Damage was much worse than bombs could inflict. The ho-| tel, barracks, everything on ground except concrete radio buildings and | the terminal was destroyed. The | 300-foot radio tower was blown | right down.” | Miss Hawk, of Chicago, was | caught just before the typhoon hit | in all its fury. Her Military Air in all its fury. Her Miliary Air Transport Service plane from Hon- olulu en route to Tokyo, landed in a cross wind, blowing two tires. | Maynard Joseph Fontaine, a Coast Guard technician evacuated to Kwajalein, said he saw “roofs | and trees flying through the air | like straws.” | Sgt. Thomas Albert Barker, 24, | an Air Force technician, accom- | panied the four injured men to Kwajalein in the PBM Mariner. Barker declared there was ‘“‘no panic, no hysteria among the wom- en and children. Everybody be- haved wonderfully.” The children, he said, sang songs as they marched from their homes to the concrete blockhouses. “The families stayed in the flood- ed blockhouses more than eight | at about 6 p. m.,” he said. They | waned to take stock of their be- | longings, but they quickly went | back to the blockhouses.”* Two navigators of the Flying, Tigers Airline suffered bad body bruises. One was knocked uncon- | scious. They were F. W. Moore of Denver and Blair Johnson of Los Angeles. | “A Quonset hut blew down on them,” Barker said. “Moore start- ed running. He didn’t know where he was going. Miraculously he end- ed up at the dispensary. “Johnson dashed out of the Quon- | set hut and when he woke up an hour later he was holding onto a tree. He had been knocked cold.” Barker and Fontaine relayed their reports through amateur ra- dio operators. Airman Les Lucas, | Crooksville, O., sent the message | from Kwajalein to Marine Cpl. Dave Gee of Walla Walla, Wash., stationed at Pearl Harbor. Mothers and children huddled in the concrete blockhouses for hours, | singing while the fierce winds and torrential rains pounded the tiny flat atoll, which rises only 15 feet above sea level. Water sloshed three feet deep in the concrete structures at he peak of he sorm. First planes from the outside to reach Wake took food, drinking wa- ter and medicine from Honolulu’s Hickam Field and Kwajalein Crews of the mercy planes set up cots and tents and began feeding the island's residents.

Three American enlisted men aboard were injured slightly. The train was crowded with school children and workmen. The explosion occurred on a bridge 20 | miles west of Seoul. Hours after the tragedy, the last survivor was removed from the wreckage. She was an 18-year-old Korean girl whose arm was am- putated before she could be freed. U. S. Army personnel used torches to remove some injured and dead from the wreckage. British soldiers stationed nearby quickly organized trucks to move about 200 injured to the Italian Red Cross hospial and the U. S. | 121st Evacuation Hospital. The locomotive and tender crossed the bridge and remained | upright. But two of the three steel cars were derailed, tumbled on their sides and split open. Witness- es said some passengers were thrown into the stream 40 feet be- low. There was no explanation of what caused the esplosion.

J. William Fullbright of Arkansas flew to Springfield through a roar- ing rainstorm late last night and went immediately to Gov. Adlai Sevenson’s office in the executive mansion. Fulbright avoided giving a direct answer to the purpose of his visit. He is a guest at the governor’s mansion. He said he may stay until Thursday when Stevenson leaves for Connecticut, beginning a second major campaign trip. The senator said, “I just came up to see what is going on.” Fulbright said he is supporting Stevenson in the presidential cam- paign. But he told newsmen he wants to hear the governor’s idea about some of the decisive issues of the campaign. Namely civil rights leg- islation, the Taft-Hartley act, and Rule 22,which requires a two- thirds majority vote to shut off debate. The Arkansas senator said he agrees, in principle, with Steven- son’s proposal to repeal the Taft- Hartley Act. But he disagrees, he said with the governor’s view on Rule 22 to make a simple majority vote nec- essary to stop a filibuster. “I’m not for majority cloture in the Sen- ate,” Fullbright said. On civil rights legislation, also, Fulbright said he is in general agreement with Stevenson—but he indicated he has some reserva- tions. The governor has proposed setting up a standard of fair em- ployment practices in the indivi- dual states, with the provision that the federal government may step in to enforce them if the states do not.” “I'm not sure what his specific ideas are on that,” Fulbright said. “I heard his statement on televi- sion, and it sounded sensible.

Fulbright and the governor are expected also to discuss the politi- cal picture in the southern states, as well as the reported corruption» in Washington. Stevenson held conferences yes- terday with Democratic candidates in two key states. Thomas Fairchild, Democratic candidate opposing Republi- can Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy, of Wisconsin, told reporters he has “a very good fighting chance” to unseat McCarthy in November. He said he has asked Stevenson to campaign in Wisconsin, but evad- ed questions about Stevenson's plans. It appears more than likely that Stevenson will campaign in Wis- consin. He has frequently attacked McCarthy, usually without men- tioning his name. Fairchild said he came away from his talk with Stevenson “hopeful’’ that the Dem- ocratic presidential candidate will come into Wisconsin. Setvenson, in a statement issued to commemorate Constituion Day, took occasion to ask: “Does anyone have true freedom of speech when not only his views but his very character and reputa- tion are to be subjected to irre- sponsible, distorted atack by others?” One of the accusations against McCarthy has been that he prac- ticed ‘character assassination.” Stevenson’s statement continued: “The edges of he area of free speech and free thought are often eaten away by an atmosphere of THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Arkansas Senator Supports Stevenson 2#™ Page 3 fear and suspicion engendered by the irresponsible—an atmosphere which is dangerous to men’s lib- erties, but which cannot be for- bidden or cleared away by law alone.” Fairchild, explaining why he be- lives he has a good chance of beat- ing McCarthy, told a news con- ference: “The Republican high command in Wisconsin pulled out all the stops in the last 10 days of the campaign and may have reached pretty close to their maximum po- tential of votes.” Stevenson also conferred yester- day with Frank C. Clement, Dem- ocratic candidate for governor of Tennessee. Clement said, “Many of us do not agree with everything Gov. Stevenson has had to say.” But he added he believes most Southern- ers “take the broad view that there are unsatisfactory pars 0 boh the Republican and Democrat- ic platforms.” He said he did not discuss the civil rights issue with Stevenson, Stevenson is scheduled to leave Springfield, Thursday morning, fly to Bridgeport Conn., and there be- gin campaigning in the East. His schedule calls for speeches in Hart- ford, Conn., Springfield, Mass., Richmond, Va., New York City and Baltimore. He also will make a number of motorcade stops in Connecticut and Massachusetts and visit the Ma- rine Corps Base at Quanico, Va., where his: son received a commis- sion Saturday. ‘ p.
