against the Republicans for the
manner in which they have dealt
with the Communist issue, charges
ranging from an accusation that
they have impeded the govern
ment’s efforts to cope with Com
munism in this country and at
tempting to usurp the constitution
al function of the federal grand
juries and courts to an accusation
that the Thomas committee has
through its “press-agent stunts for
political ends,” made “confidential
information available to the intel
ligence services of foreign coun
tries.”
Since it was Governor Dewey
who brought up the subject in the
first place, he cannot safely ignore
the President’s allegations as he
has ignored so many other charges
made by his rival during the cam
paign. This is one case where
ivory tower approach is clearly
out of order.

The Coast Guard said it was
fighting heavy seas in an effort
to transfer from Kodiak island vil
lage of Uzinki to a Kodiak hospi
tal a boy reported suffering from
an accidental gunshot wound.
The five Ketchikan men were
rescued from ;he southeast tip of
Lewis Island by a British Colum
bia police boat Saturday after
Their boat the Discoverer
had lost its rudder in a 55-mile
an-hour gale.
The shipwrecked men said that
between daylight Saturday and
the time of their rescue, between
'it and a dozen ships had passed
by but apparently had failed to
note their signals for help, the
men built a smonkefire among the
s and waved handkerchiefs
from the beach whenever a vessel
passed.
Carrying 25 tons of assorted car
go, inclduing household effec s be
longing to Sessions, the Discoverer
left Ketchikan for Seattle Friday.
The Discoverer went aground at
the south end of Lewis Island
about two miles from Herbert
Reef where an American army tug
s'ri’ck a week ago. She struck on
boulders at half tide, battered by j
heavy surf which stove in her
bottom and did severe damage to
her hull. . 1 rj!
Between the ship and the shore
line was 100 yards of white boiling
surf breaking over boulders and
the men stayed aboard the tor
tured ship until 7 a.m., unable to j
get ashore. As the tide rose, the i
vessel was battered inshore until
they were able to lay a plank onto
the rocks.
When the ship struck, the men 1
tried to make shore in a lifeboat, !
but it was swamped and blown
away almost immediately. They
were forced to remain on the Dis- !
coverer, which finally wedged be*
tween two rocks with her stem j
hanging over deep water.
The Discoverer is owned by
Lawrence Erickson, Ketchi k a n
business man and has been engag
ed in freight service between
Ketchikan and Seattle. Salvage
possibilities are being investigated.

Violence Flares
In Oil Strike
SAN FRANCISCO, (/P) — The
west’s oil strike dragged into its
38th day with the six struck com
panies estimating produ c t i o n
nearly normal, and with no fur
her peace talks scheduled.
Nine men overturned a taxicab
carrying four non-striking work
ers away from the Richmond
plant of Standard Oil Monday,
but no one was injured. Several
trucks crossed Richmond picket
lines to load gasoline and to make
deliveries, without incident.
The six major companies struck
have refused to offer more than a
12Vfe cent wage increase; the CIO
refinery workers’ union has asked
21 cents added to its basic $1.68
wage.
VIENNA, Austria, (A1)—Nearly
1,000 Austrian prisoners of war,
many captured at Stalingrad, re

i yesterday.
Rioting Chinese
Wreck Food Store
PEIPING, (/P)—One of the larg
est food stores in the city was
wrecked Monday by a mob of
shoppers angered because supplies
had given out.
The incident pointed up the
growing seriousness of the food
situation here, where prices have
been on a rampage and many
items are short in supply.
The greatly swollen population
is estimated by police at more
than 2,000,000. About 300,000 —
mostly civil war refugees — are
classified as destitute. Mounting
costs of food and fuel can spell
but one thing for a bulk of the
population this winter—cold and
hunger.
Since August 19, the date at
which prices were ordered frozen
; the cost of coal, rice and eggs has
jumped 500 per cent, cooking oil
, has gone up 800 per cent and sugar
, 1000 per cent.
