New Theory On Red Tide Cause FT. MYERS #—A U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service scientist is investigating a theory the fish-kill- ing red tide could be caused by fresh water from Lake Okeecho- bee flowing into the gulf through the Caloosahatchee River. Dr. L. Basil Slobodkin said he is considering that vossibility in his study of the new incidence of red tide off Florida’s west coast, which apparently hit its peak last week and now is declining. His interest increased, he said, after learning Army Engineers closed St. Lucie Canal to Stuart last, spring after resort interests reported a muddy discharge was ruining fishing. Since then Lake Okeechobee water has been dis- charged through the Caloosahat- chee and the discharge was heavi- er after flood conditions in the Jake region in October. Dr. Slobodkin plans to remain here several days talking to Army Engineers, getting rainfall data and interviewing fishermen. The scientific vessel Alaska will continue to measure the salt con- tent of water in various places in the polluted area and try to de- termine whether the red tide flowed. from sea to shore or vice versa.

(ICE DIVISION) KEY WEST FLORIDA | | ——— oe NEW YORK @#—President-elect Dwight D. Eisenhower has made Acheson S,<uaks Wich India’s Delegate three top Cabinet appointments— | = 4 John Foster Dulles as secretary of state, Charles E. Wilson of Detroit as secretary of defense, and Gov. Douglas McKay of Oregon as sec- retary of the interior. They were the first announced appointments of the new Republi- can administration which will take office Jan. 20. Dulles, long the Republican voice in the State Department and ar- chitect of the Japanese peace treaty, wrote the Republican for- eign policy plank in the 1952 plat- form. During the Chicago conven- tion he was believed acceptable as secretary of state to both Eisen- hower and his chief contestant for the nomination—Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio. Wilson, president of General Motors, was mentioned by Eisen- hower last September in suggest- ing the need of “business brains in a 60 billion dollar business’’—a reference to the operation of the federal government. McKay, 59, began his career as a newsboy. Later he was an office boy for the Union Pacific Railroad and then an auto sales manager. He began his political career when he was elected mayor of Salem, Ore., in 1933. After that, he served as a state senator and be- came governor in 1949. He is a veteran of both world wars. Eisenhower, in his Sept. 8 speech concerning the need of business brains in government, said he pro- posed to cut military expenses without cutting military strength. In that speech referring to Wil- son Eisenhower declared: “Until we get business brains in a 60 billion dollar business—and I mean business brains that will be respected by Congress—we are not going to save the money that we can save without losing one gun, one plane, one ship.” The 64-year-old Wilson has head- ed the vast automobile manufac- turing concern since 1941. A native of Minerva, Ohio, Wil- son was educated at the Carnegie Institute of Technology, and worked as an electrical engineer for the Westinghouse Manufactur- ing Company from 1909 until 1919. He later was successively chief engineer, manager and president of the Delco Remy Co., before joining General Motors as vice president in 1929. He is married and has three sons and three daughters. The cabinet appointments were announced by press secretary James C. Hagerty while Eisen- hower was lunching with British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden. Earlier in the day he conferred with Dulles for two hours, When he emerged from the conference Dul- les declined to talk with reporters. The tall, 64-year old Dulles has long been a vigorous critic of Rus- sian policies and has been sub- jected to bitter attacks in the Soviet press. Russian Foreign .din- ister Andrei Y. Vishinsky has la- beled him a “warmonger.” The Soviet newspaper Pravda has called him a “trader in death” and an “‘atomite.” Dulles announced hi: support of Eisenhower last July 11 and cam- paigned hard for him. In his campaign speeches he rap- ped repeatedly at what he termed the Truman administration’s poli- ey of Communist containment. In- stead, he said, “we can usefully erect strong local barriers” in Western Europe. Again he said that this nation should create a top level bi-parti- san council to lead the free world with a “stable and consistent” for- eign policy. He said the council should formulate and maintain a long-range foreign policy and its members include the President, vice president, secretaries of state and defense and ranking members of the opposition political party.
