Crusoe also said there are at feast three stations on the Keys, Crusoe, who ‘has been in .the tradio game since after World War I” and was a commercial opera- tor for 22°years with the P and O Steamship Company, said “We're etarting from scratch” but when the net ig’ set up we’l: have test drills using stationary and mobile with a master control sstation.”* “We'll work with the Civil De- fense, the law enforcement agen- cies, government and the Red Cross In an emergency, any of these agencies may use our equipment.” THE CHAMPION—Mrs, Ella Harris, above, was «warded first prize for her Key lime pie baked for the contest in con- junction with the Upper Keys Lime Festival, and was declar- ed_ champion lime pie baker, Weird Sounds . Are Heard By Icebreaker PALO ALTO, Calif. (m—A listen- ing station aboard the Navy ice- breaker Atka, now en route to the Antarctic seas, is tuned in on weird musical noises, believed to be caused by lightning discharges and called ‘messages from outer space” by a Stanford professor. Dr. Robert Helliwell, associate professor of electrical engineering, describes the phenomena as “weird, strange and unbelievable as flying saucers.” The sounds, known as “whist- lers,” have a musical quality, are picked up from outer space on re- ceiving sets, and from all known characteristics, are produced by lightning discharges. The Atka’s listening station, Dr. Helliwell said in an interview with the Palo Alto Times, was set up by Stanford in cooperation with U.S. government engineers as part of a far-ranging project to study |" the mysterious sounds. The research, under auspices of | the Air Force Cambridge Research Center at the Stanford radio pro-| pagation laboratory, may outer space regions, far beyond! limits of the known ionosphere, ac- | CHOW DOWN!—Cubs, full-fledged Boy Scouts, Scout leaders and parents are ready for the annual Boy Scout dinner: held at the Naval Station general mess hall Monday night, make! — cessible to radio,study for the first | time in scientific history, the sci- entist said. « ‘ British scientists have eo shown an interest, and Helliwell said re- ceiving stations may be established 1 in Bermuda and the Falkland is- lands. All this research is expected to test a theory, developed by L.R.O. Storey at Cambridge University in England, that the whistlers, dis- Patched into the ionosphere from one of the earth’s hemispheres, are deflected back to the other one by Masses in outer spaces. Dr. Helliwell discounted the pos- sibility that the sounds originate on another planet. His Luck Just Didn’t Hold Out Long Enough LEVAN, Utah (®—George Floyd Hanna of Provo hit a slick spot on the road Tuesday, as he drove along U.S. Highway 91. His car -flipped completely over and landed on its wheels. Inspect- ing the damage, Hanna, 32, count- ed himself lucky. All he cogld find was a broken radiator hose. So Hanna pulled the car off the Toad and hiked the mile-and-a-half into Levan for a new hose. While he was gone, 57-year-old R. M, Allred of Utah’s Emery’ County hit the same slick spot and smashed into Hanna’s parked car. When Hanna returned with his new radiator hose, he learned it would take a little more to make his car run again, ‘Highway Trooper E. C. Sher- wood estimated it would take about $500 more, PROCLAMATION WHEREAS, on December 10th, 1948, the General As- sembly of the United Nations adopted and proclaimed’ the historic Universal Declaration of Human Rights “as a com- mon stondard of achievement for all peoples and all na- tions, to the end that every individual and every organ of society, keeping this Declozation constantly in mind, shall strive by teaching and education to promote respect for these rights and’ freedoms and by progressive measures, national and international, to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance,” and ‘WHEREAS, hundreds of communities throughout the United States will observe the period between Human Rights Day and Bill ot Rights Day, Decemiber 10th - 15th ‘as Human Rights Week, NOW, THEREFORE, I, C.

Union Welfare Fund Code By NORMAN WALKER LOS ANGELES — The CIO convention today was expected to adopt. a code designed to safe- guard union welfare funds from graft and-“‘make sure that maxi- mum benefits” are paid to bene- ficiaries. An ethical practices committee came up with the code after re- .| ceiving the views of insurance firms and other experts in the field at recent hearings in New York City. Disclosures that some union officials and insurance bro- had profited handsomely from handling such funds prompted the study. | . Among ‘the recommendations slated for convention adoption were: 1, Welfare funds should be audit- ed at least semiannually by in- dependent certified public account- ants. 2. Trustees should make public at least once a year “all pertinent facts concerning the administra- tion of welfare funds” including salaries, expenses, fees paid and | |for what purpose.

Ty Gets Offer Instead Of Vy SAIGON, Viet Nam (#—Premier Ngo Dinh Diem today offered the top post in South Viet Nam’s army, chief of the general staff, to his personal choice for the job, newly promoted Brig. Gen. Le Van Ty. The Premier asked the other leading candidate for the job, Gen. Nguyen Van Vy, to become inspec- tor general of the 200,000-man Vietnamese force. The United States and France were known to have supported Vy for the top job as a younger, more energetic commander than Ty, Vy also was for a long time an aide to ex-Emperor Bao Dai, Viet Nam chief of state. Diem objected to Vy, however, because he is a French citizen, The Premier contended this would stir criticism among anti-Commu- nist nationalists and also provide a new target for propaganda from the Communist-led Vietminh. Ty said he would reply to the Premier’s offer within three days. The new chief of staff will suc- ceed Gen. Nguyen Van Hinh, who was fired by Bao Dai two weeks mier had’ paralyzed the govern- ment for two months. Since Hinh’s dismissal, Vy has been acting chief of staff. Ty, al colonel until Diem promoted him | recently, has commanded the 1st) Military Region, which includes all of South Viet Nam. Red Soldiers Are Nabbed On Island | TAIPEH, Formosa -(®—Chinese | | Nationalist commandos caught 14 | |Communist soldiers asleep during |@ predawn raid yesterday on a |small island and brought all back as prisoners, the Defense Ministry said today. The commandos taided Tapo, roughly three milég northeast of close to the Red e0ast oppo- site Formosa. “The raid shows that the Com- munist shelling of Quemoy has not intimidated us and we are always Teady to hit back,” the spokesman ago after his defiance of the Pre-| said. | igorous Work (Called For By New Top Demo Democratic party has ‘“many men who are presidential timber” and Adlai Stevenson must seek the 1956 presidential nomination ‘“‘vig- orously” if-he wants it, says’ Paul Butler, the party’s new national chgirman. jutler, also told a television pan- el jof South Bend newsmen last night that “he (Stevenson) and other candidates. must, let the par- ty \and the nation know their in- tentions. by the latter part of 1955,” The South Bend lawyer, pressed by the newsmen to name possible candidates, mentioned Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tfnessee, Sen. Rich- ard Russell of Georgia, Gov. Frank Lausche of Ohio, Gov. G. Mennen Williams of Michigan, Gov.-elect George M. Leader of Pennsylvania and Gov.-elect Averell Harriman of New York. “All I know is what I read in the papers and most papers con- sider him (Stevenson) the leader right now,” Butler said. “But the Democratic party is fortunate in having many men who are presi- dential timber for 1956.” “I have no reason to think that Stevenson will or will not seek the nomination. However, he won’t ob- tain it the same way he did in |’52. There will be no draft. If Ste- venson seeks the nomination, he must seek it vigorously.” The tenor of the new chairman’s remarks apparently were intended to establish himself as an inde- pendent factor -in the party, al- though he was generally believed to be pro-Stevenson in party af- fairs. On the subject of the situation in the South, he said: “I am hopeful that factionalism with the Demo- eratie party is over and I will work to that end.” GUN DUELS GO ON AROUND FORMOSA TAIPEH, Formosa (?—The Na- istry today reported sporadic gun- fire duels with Chinese Commu- The ministry said there was a light exchange between National- |ists om Quemoy and the Reds on Amoy. To the north, shots were traded between the Reds on Tou- men Island and the Nationalists on Yikiang Island. 3. Company or union officials acting as’ trustees or administra- tors should not get extra compen- sation beyond their regular sai- aries. 4. Welfare programs carried insurance — companies should be awarded “‘on the basis of lowest net cost for given bene- fits provided by a responsible com- pany. The company should war- rant’ that no fee has been paid directly or indirectly to any rep- resentative of the parties in eon- nection with the coverage pro- vided.’* 5. Insurance carriers should be required to furnish statements for public distribution _ specifying “claims experience, commissions and amounts of dividends received and to whom paid.” 6, Brokers performing no service should get no commissions or fees, and laws requiring fees for non- service should be repealed, with the. savings devoted to ‘greater benefits for benficiaris.” 7. National unions should “‘estab- lish and enforce specific stand- ards” as above outlined for their local and national union welfare funds, and supply locals with ‘ad- vice for negotiating and adminis- tering such: funds. Union welfare funds are now es- timated to aggregate about 20 bil. lion dollars. The convention late yesterday adopted a resolution urging com- pletion of negotiations towatd a merger with the AFL. “There are no roadblocks as far as we are concerned,” CIO Presi- dent Walter Reuther told dele- gats. “There are problems that must be met. There are principles that must be- protected and im- plemented in a practical way.” Reuther, along with CIO Secre- tary - treasurer James B. Carey and David J. McDonald, president of the CIO United Steelworkers, all said in speeches that they are optimistic and hope to renew merger talks early next year, “T don’t think anybody has any magic that can accomplish labor unity ovrnight,” Reuther said, “We are going to have to work at this.” PRESIDENT SEES (Continued from Page One) “atoms for peace” international arrangement.

The 16 Korean War Allies looked for Russia to throw up procedural roadblocks today in an effort to| delay U. N. Assembly debate on | Red China's jailing of 11 U. s. fliers as spies. | Most diplomats felt, however, | such Soviet tactics could not hold up action for more than a day} on the Allies’ demand that the U.N. | denounce the Chinese action as a| violation of the Korean armistice | and seek the release of the men. ~ U.N. observers said Russia could | delay things a while by: 1. Arguing the Assembly has no right to handle the case on grounds that it dealt with espionage rather than prisoners of war. 2. Demanding that the case be allocated first to the 60-nation Po-| litical Committee instead of going direct to the Assembly as recom- mended by the Steering Commit- tee. “8. Insisting that Red China be invited -here to give her side in the debate. The Assembly must decide on all such points before turning to discussion of the Allied resolution, which ¢alls on Secretary General Dag. Hammarskjold to work for release of the 11 airmen ahd-report back to the Assembly by Dec. 31. + Hammarskjold is expected to approach the Chinese through some neutral state. India is understood to have in- dicated her willingness to act as go-between. re U.S. sources said they anticipat- ed no opposition to the resolution except from the five-nation Soviet bloc and a few Asian states who feel the case should first be placed in the hands of the Korean Mili- tary Armistice Commission. The United States hopes for a big vote of approval that might influence Red China to free the prisoners. _ U.S. Delegate Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. yesterday gave Hammarskjold a letter naming four other Ameri- can airmen that Red Chinese rep- resentatives to the Geneva confer- ence admittd were being held by Peiping. Lodge charged that their detention constituted an additional violation of the Korean armistice. Divorce For Jane SANTA MONICA, Calif.
