Storm Disrupts
Aviation Program
DETROIT, </P) — The illfated
International Aviation Exposition
closed its three-day run at nearby
Wayne-Major Airport Monday in
a torrential downpour.
Dogged by ill luck from the
beginning, the program of Army,
Navy and Air Force demonstra
tions came to an abrupt halt in
a sudden storm that featured driv
ing rain, hail and winds upwards
of 50 miles an hour.
The crowd, estimated at 75,000,
was drenched before it could find
shelter. The field was turned into
mud. And many of the planes in
the stationary exhibit were buf
feted and damaged^
Struck and killed by lightning
was Harry Withers, 32, a specta
tor at the show.
Before the storm struck, Steve
Wittman, 48-year-old operator of
the Winnebago County Airport
near Oshkosh, Wis., flew to dram
atic victory in the sixth Continen
tal Motors Trophy race for mid
get planes.
Wittman, who established a
continental race record by win
ning his elimination heat Satur
day with an average speed of
198.24 miles per hour, sped the
37miles in 9:07.5. averaging
197.29. .
U.N. Announcement Of
POW Incident Again
Followed by Red Protest
MUNSAN, Korea, (A*)—Commu
nist truce negotiators again Tues
day quickly followed a U.N. an
nouncement of a prisoner of war

It was the third such note in

that the Reds closely monitor Al
lied news broadcasts during the
current recess in armistice talks.
The U.N. said Monday that 16
captured Reds on Koje Island
were injured by guards quelling
a demonstration Saturday. Anoth
er prisoner was found hanged,
an apparent suicide, the IJ. N.

Tuesday, Gen. Nam II, chief
Red negotiator, said in a note sent
by a staff officer to Maj. Gen.
William K. Harrison, senior U.N.
delegate:
“On Aug. 30 your side again
killed one and wounded 16 of our
captured personnel. I hereby
lodge a serious protest with you
regarding this incident. Your side
must bear the responsibility for
all consequences arising from
your barbarous butchering of our
captured personnel.”
The truce talks — deadlocked
over prisoner of war exchange—
are scheduled to resume tomor
row.

For Choice of More
Gov’t Rent Control
Between 450 and 500 communi
ties around the nation, and inclu
ties around the nation, including
Puerto Rico and Alaska, have re
quested continuance of federal
rent controls beyond the Septem
ber 30 date, according to a release
from the office of the Director of
Rent Stabilization, Tighe E.
Woods.
Chicago, the nation’s second
largest city, by a vote of 42 to 4,
recently joined Boston, Philadel
phia, Pittsburgh, Jersey City,
Newark, St. Louis and several
other large cities in voting that
federal rent levels and federal
protection against illegal evic
tions should continue in their jur
isdiction until Apr. 30, 1953.
This action brings to approxi
mately 6,000,000 the total number
of people living in units which
will continue to be subject to
federal rent control after Sept.
30, and leaves approximately 14,
000,000 residents of federally con
trolled units in the nation’s 200
normal defense rental housing
areas, who have not as yet been
protected by action of their gov
erning bodies.
According to Leonard Grass
man, regional information officer
at San Francisco, resolutions for
continuation continue to arrive
daily at his office. The amended
law adopted by Congress last
June gives cities which fail to
request continuance before Sept.
30, no second chance to do so.

Eisenhower Appeals To
Women of America To
Aid In His Campaign
TAMPA, Fla., (fl5) —Dwight D.
Eisenhower appealed to the wom
en of America today to throw
themselves into the presidential
campaign “to correct the things
that are wrong with us.”
•The GOP presidential nomi
nee’s appeal to the women voters
was made before a cheering
crowd estimated at 9,000 gathered
at the Tampa Ball Park.
Tampa followed the lead of At
lanta, Jacksonville and Miami in
giving Eisenhower a rousing wel
come on his sweep across Dixie
that has been booming in such
spectacular fashion.
“I am anxious to draw the
spirit of women into the cam
paign I am trying to wage,” Eisen
hower said.
Standing under a broiling sun
on a bunting-drape platform at
home plate, Eisenhower declared
“we must recall the spiritual and
moral values of our forefathers”
in government.
He said he referred to the situ
ation in Washington as a “mess”
because “that’s what the opposi
tion calls it.”
Turning to Webster’s definition
of the word mess, Eisenhower
said it dealt mostly with food.
But then he said:
“Mess can mean a confused, in
harmonious, disagreeable mixture
of things (a medley, a hodge
podge, a situation resulting from
blunder or misunderstanding. A
muddle. A botch.”
