Barges Meet
Tragedy In Storm
SANTA ROSA, Calif. (TP)—An
expedition to Alaska to open a
barge freight line with surplus
military landing crafts ended in
tragedy for a Detroit couple off
the northern California coast.
Francis Capshaw, 46, former De
troit chiropractor and auto sales
man, and a woman identified
his wife, were drowned yesterday
when two barges sank during .
harowing night of fighting pound
ing seas. Martin Ernestus of D
lingham, Alaska, partner of Ibe
! Capshaws in the venture to estab
lish a barge freight service o.i th •
Newshagan River, was rescued by
the Coast Guard.
One of the party’s baiges was
beached.
! Capshaw, who put his life’s sav
ings into the plan, had been living
at San Pablo for the last month
while gathering equipment for the
expedition and loading the three
barges purchased from the govern
ment.
The barges, heavily loaded with
lumber, fuel, lighting plants and
other equipment for setting up
business in Alaska, were linked by
towlines when they left the San
Francisco Bay at dawn Wednes
day, hoping to reach Fort Bragg
on the Mendocino county coast by
nightfall.
Ernestus told coroner Vernon
Silvershield that the towline from
the larger barge to the two smal
le craft had snapped just before
darkness Wednesday night and
that they were unable to pick it
up. AH three were weary and sea
sick, lie said, but he managed to
jump from the larger barge into
one of the smaller ones. He started
up the motor to head for shore,
thinking Capshaw was following.
I Walcott May
i Challenge Louis
I _
PHILADELPHIA. (/P)—A move
to match Joe Louis with an aging
father of six who goes by the name
of Jersey Joe Walcott was gaining
momentum today after the nation
al boxing association rated Wal
cott the number one challenger for
the heavyweight title.
Leon Rains, chairman of the
Pennsylvania commission, in pro
posing the bout asserted that “I be
lieve Walcott is the best opposi
tion around for Louis.”
“Though I would not say he
would beat Louis,” Rains added
quickly.
“Walcott is old of course,” said
Rains, “but Joe’s getting old too.
I feel that a Louis-Walcott
match would be very good any
where this summer. I should like
to see it staged in Philadelphia.
Speculation has it that Louis
probably will defend his title
against the winner of the Bruce
Woodcock-Joe Baksi fight to be
held in London next Tuesday.
Woodcock is British champion and
Baksi hails from Kulpmont, Pa.

WASHINGTON, (/P;—President
Truman said today that unless

The President told a news con

studying the question of whether
manufacturing concerns can com

Unde'’ one supreme court deci
sion, Mr. Truman said, it would be
unlawful to combine to cut prices

Tiie President said this survey
is being conducted as one means
of getting {irices down since the
government’s power over prices
ended last year and it would be
impractical to reinstate price con
trols.
Mr. Truman added that he does
not believe the people want such
controls.
