THIEVES WALK OFF
WITH SEVEN TONS 1
BUTTE, Mont. (/P>—Thieves in
the Butte area have added a Paul
Bunyan twist to their operations.
Mining equipment, weighing
from 12,000 to 14,000 pounds, has
been disappearing in large quan
tities in recent weeks.
Undersheriff William T. Dee
said specialized knowledge of the
machinery, a crane an some heavy
duty trucks were probably needed
to cart off the machinery.
So far. Dee says, officers have
had no luck in tracing the ma
chinery.
Democrats Hopeful
For Parly Unity
WASHINGTON, (/P) — Demo
crats pointed hopefully to fresh
evidences of party unity today de
spite a harsh breach in their
southern precincts, while mem
bers of the Republican national
committee headed homeward con
fident that they can elect their
Presidential nominee.
The Democrats were cheered by
the decision of A. F. Whitney,
president of the brotherhood of
Railway trainmenfi to go along
with the campaign to keep Presi
dent Truman in the White House.

however, although few of them
would acknowledge it publicly, by
a party “secession” threat from
Fielding L. Wright, taking office
for a full term as governor of
Mississippi.

from a big Eastern Airlines Lock

sengers and five crew members
jumped or dropped 15 feet from a
doorway on the opposite side into
snowbanks. Enroute from Miami
to Newark, the plane was rerouted

crew member.
