New Deck For Jet. Landings On Carriers By VERN HAUGLAND AP Aviation Reporter WASHINGTON (? — The United States and British Navies hve invented a new kind of carrier flight deck—a ‘‘side porch” runway angled off te the left side of the tts designed to make landin: safer and easier for jet aircraft. And with the far end of the runway jutting over the port. side of the carrier, the likelihood of a plane crashing into others parked on the flight deck, or into the carrier island, is greatly reduced. The two Navies jointly an nounced that the new deck ar- Tangement is being installed for test purposes on the Essex class carrier Antietam, at the New York naval shipyards. There is a difference of opinion as to what it should be called. The British, who thought up the idea, call it the angled deck. The Americans, arguing that ‘‘angled” might imply slanted or tilted — @ereas the deck is perfectly level tentatively call it the canted deck. “We are open to suggestions,” said Rear Adm. T. S. Combs, chief of the Bureau of Aeronautics. | Vaca One newsman suggested the V- , deck, since the angled deck juts off from the regular flight deck to form a narrow deck. Other suggestions: side-porch deck, check deck, cockeyed cornice. Combs said the conversion of the Antietam will cost around a million dollars but should result in even greater savings in terms of ship damage, reduced weight and sav- ings: of life. He said carriers with the new- type deck will be unable to pass through the Panama Canal because the ‘deck will add about 34 feet to their top width. i Combs said the safety factor arises from the fact that the line of flight is off to the left side of the ship. . 0“ If the plane falls, it goes over the side of the deck and only one plane is lost,” he said. . “Hf the forward firing guns go off accidentally as the plane. is landing, they would discharge into the water. And if the rockets should come off in landing, there would be no danger of them slid- ing along the flight deck as has happened.” Reds Claim Invention: But Can’t Fix Ca wan't Fix. Car * By BOWARD E.

A-cheap attempt to play politics with peace, the Democrats replied. Who was right and who was wrong isn’t so important now. What is important is this: The No. 1 issue now turns into the No. 1 problem for the new administra- tion. And the battle lines in Korea, and the political battle lines in the United Nations, are so drawn that neither side seems in position to score a convincing break-through. ‘The diplomatic stalemate has been illustrated again this week in arguments before the United Na- tions. The. dispute now is over ti 121,000 prisoners of war held by the U.N. forces. Should these prisoners of war be turned over to the North Koreans even if they don't want to go?

HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON (#—State Depart- | ment officials are expected to con- | | fer with President-elect Eisenhower | |or his representatives next week | on a new formula for solving the | \Iranian problem, It is understood also that the! | new approach is a ‘subject for dis- cussion between secretary of State | | Acheson and British Foreign Sec- retary Eden in their talks in |New York. The central i. ea of the formula seems designed to get Iranian oil flowing out and money for it flow- | jing in again at the earliest pos- | sible moment—without final settle- |ment of the dispute between Iran \and Britain over nationalization of Iran’s oil industry, State Department. authorities feel that the longer the present im- | passe continues—and various Iran- | ian agencies like the army and | | civil service go unpaid—the greater becomes the danger of a collapse |of civil authority and the rise of Communist power in this strategic Middle Eastern land, In the past thése authorities have worked on the theory that a legal settlement of the Anglo-Iranian dis- © pute, critical since Iran seized British-owned oil properties there last year, should logically precede | or be a, part of any settlement reviving the oil industry under Iranian control. But the new ap- proach would relegate legal set- tlement to a lesser priority, Eisenhower will have a chance to hear about this plan when he meets with President Truman—at 2 p.m, (EST) next Tuesday, ac- cording to the White House—to pre- pare for an orderly change of ad- ministrations. Eisenhower has des- | ignated Sen Lodge (R-Mass.) as | his State Department liaison man.

Mossadegh last month broke relations with |the British government, Informants do not appear highly | optimistic about the new proposi- | | tion, | For the proposal to succeed, the | British would have to agree to let oil begin moving out of Iran to world markets again without hav- | ing fipal agreement on the amount | of compensation Iran should pay for the nationalized properties. It is understood, United States authorities are thinking about the problem of getting agreement of oil companies to cooperate in (1) opening up and operating oil pre- duction facilities under Ir ’ government control, (2) making ar- rangements for trans~o:tin” > oil which requires about 13 tankers a day, and (3) handling the uiti mate sales. | SUSPICIOUS AREA { (Continued From fage Ove) sions, however, when hurricanes jdid lash the seas in November Ending the “season” means the Jend of "a 24-hour wa the | Weather Bureau on sto | The teletype circuit extend: Miami along the Atlantic and westwam@! to Brownsy Some personne! is tran rom the Miami Bureau Federa State Frost Ser land | in j the totalita | scaffe liable winds and partly t Board Photo by K.

Saturday, November 15, 1952 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN sue Revealed At New York Crime Hearings NEW YORK (#—Reputed under- } Political Intri world boss Frank Costello emerged today, in State Crime Commission testimony, as a man also once known as “the boss” around the tion’s Tammany Hall. The statement was made yester- day by a former Tammany district leader as commission witnesses and previously-undisclosed records spun a web of political-underworld intrigue stretching from smoke- filled rooms to courthouse cham- bers. I. Daniel Neustein, the former Tammany leader, said he held the Post from 1941 until 1945 when he was told: “The boss didn’t want me any more.” He said “the boss” reference presumably was to Cos- tello. Neustein also asserted it was “almost common knowledge in those days that nominations for the (state) Supreme Court had to be paid for.” After the hearings by the New York State Crime Commission were adjourned for the weekend it was announced last night that U. S. Atty. Gen. James P. McGranery had asked for a transcript of testi- money by Armand Chankalian, administrative assistant to the U.S. attorney: here. McGranery’s action climaxed a day of rapid-fire developments highlighted, among other things, by Chankalian’s testimony that he once interceded with Gov. Thomas E. Dewey in.an attempt to get a restoration of the voting privileges of Thomas (Three-Finger Brown) Luchese. Luchese, an ex-convict who blos- somed into a wealthy New York garment manufacturer, was des- cribed earlier by a federal narco- ties agent as the successor to Cos- tello in the underworld hierarchy. Costello now is serving an 18-month sentence in Atlanta’s federal~peni- tentiary for contempt of the U. S. Senate Crime Committee. U. S. Atty. Myles J. Lane last night quoted McGranery as asking for the Chankalian transcipt “for - |his consideration and for such ac- tion as he deems appropriate under the circumstances.” Chankalian said he spoke with Dewey in hopes of getting a good- conduct certificate for Luchese but Time of Height of (bridge) ———oh 10m 8.0 ft.

Lothar Malskat, who publicly fooled West German art authori- ties with his fake medieval church murals, made a clean breast to police, “Conscience” drove him, he said, to startle art lovers with the dis- closure that the murals on St. Mary’s Church in Luebeck were not of 1270 A. D. origin but his own 1950 work. The St. Mary’s murals, believed uncovered by war-time bomb dam- age to the church and then “‘re- stored,” actually are faces of Ger- man movie actresses, friends and relatives of the little painter. What made it worse for art ex- perts and patrons was that the “restoration” at St. Mary's w: unveiled in the presence of West German Chancellor Konrad Aden- auer himself. Malskat, who is 39, says he has masters.” “They wanted names,” he said. |“I gave names to them: Renoir, | Rembrandt, Gaugin, Degas, Corot and others. They should have read “Malskat.’”’ Nervous art gallery men in im- portant European cities are culling their stocks to make sure some of Malskat’s masterful “old mas- ters” are not in their establish- ments. Only the refugee knows how many he turned out. j | The palette was washed clean | ‘when Malskat quarreled with his |employer, Dietrich Fey, 40.

But something got under Mais- kat's skin. He says it was Fey. “He gave me only scraps of what 1 earned with my work,” Malskat | said. “While he was being slapped lon the back by Chancellor Aden- aver at the church I was sitting ip 2 back room among the labor- ers, drinking 2 bottle of beer “At first fake reproductions were | fun, and it kept me in money to. Manhattan Democratic organiza- | produced hundreds of fake “old | the fake restorations and | Page? got nowhere. Luchese later obtained such a certificate from the State Parole Board. Testimony bv the 52-year-old Luchese in a closed session of the commission also was read. Luchese. listed among his acquaintances New York City’s Mayor Vincent R, Impellitteri, Lane, Costello, de- ported vice lord Charles (Lucky) Luciano, and a score of thers, in- cluding politicians and underworld figures. Luchese said Chankalian had in- troduced him to “Judges Murphy and Meaney.” Later testimony identified the two as Federal Judges Thomas F. Murphy of New | York and Thomas F. Meaney of | Newark. | Commission chairman Joseph | Proskauer intervened to say mere | mention of *‘a man like Judge Mur | phy” or “other reputable persons” was no reflection on them. Testimony about Tammany Hall {came from several former district | leaders in the ‘“‘wigwam,” as Tam- many is known. | Neustein first told of Costello and then said he asked about a judge- |ship for himself in a conversation with Clarence Neal, former chair- man of Tammany’s Committee on | Elections. Neustein quoted Neal as | telling him: “Well, there’s no reason why you can’t (become a judge) if you pay |for it like the other fellow. Your money is as good as his,” | Neal was the next witness and kept spectators in laughter as he he | testified about $250,000 in cas! said his father gave him 44 years ago. Neal said he had been living on this money the past 10 years and that by last February it had dwindled to $25,000. The commission disclosed that at a closed session last Monday Neal said the $25,000 had shrunk to $100 as a result of horse race gambling. Stating he had filed no income tax returns since 1942, Neai as- serted he used the money to sup- port himself and to help other tam- many leaders. Hugo E. Rogers, a former head of Tammany, Said being in politics made it “inevitable” for him to know Costello. Rogers said he felt “the imprint of his (Costello’s) friendship and influence with some district leaders.” -|German Artist Reveals Self | As Faker Of “Old Masters” Art dealers wanted to see big names. “I don't care if I go to jail. I want to see Fey there too, and some of those art dealers who knew perfectly well they were buy- ing fakes cheaply and selling them to foreign collectors for fortunes.” He said that he. and Fey also perpetrated a fake restoration in 1937 on a 13th century painting which German art writers praised as original masterpieces “by our brilliant ancestors.” Malskat comes from Koe nigsberg, East Prussia, taken over by the Russians in the last war and renamed Kaliningrad. He says he was almost found out back in 1938 when he painted a turkey in a mural. A Hamburg professor pointed out that the arrival of tur- keys in Europe from the new world postdated the paintings by a couple of centuries, but the Nazis wanted to avoid a scandal and invented a story that the Vikings brought them over. “I bad seen some scratches on jthe wall which looked as if they might have been a turkey and painted it,” he explained, Cems Of Thought | HUMILITY | 1 believe the first test of a truly ~ereat man is bis humility, —Ruskia. sets a person so much devil's reach as humill- —Johnathan Edwards.
