Air Wanderer
Accidentally Got
Off His Course
EDMONTON Alta., (/P)—Grimy
and wan from 17 days in the bush.
Dr. V. B. Murray, 61 returned to
Edmonton last night, vowing that
his flying days are over.
The Washington, D. C., doctor
pilot has satisfied RCAF officials
that his crash in the wilds of
northern Alberta was an accident
and that no desire to escape from
civilization prompted his crack-up
at lonely Chip Lake, 80 miles
southwest of his announced des
tination, Grand Prairie, Alta. But
two weeks of wandering through
the bush has cured his zest for
air travel.
The twin-engined Cessna air
craft that Dr. Murray overturned
in the bush when he ran out of
fuel, miles off his course, Aug. 7,
now is the property of J. McCul
lough, the trapper who found him
at Nose Creek, a few miles from
the scene of the crash, and
brought him back to safety by
pack-horse.
He blamed poor eve-sight for
the 10-degree deviation of his
course that landed him in north
ern Alberta wilderness.
Still limping from a knee in
jury, suffered in the crash. Dr.
Murray denied any intention of
departing from his Edmonton
Grande Prairie course.

Jews Kidnap Con
sulate Employee
In Jerusalem
, . -
(By Carter L. Davidson)
JERUSALEM, (/P) — The U. S.
consul general here has protested
to the Jewish governor of Jeru
| salem that the Stern gang kid
naped and mistreated an Ameri
i can consulate employee Sunday.
The consul general, John J.
MacDonald, said the Sternists
I
seized George F. Paro, a confi
dential clerk in the consulate and
I held him for seven hours, during
| which they handcuffed, blind
folded, slapped and questioned
| him.
An Israeli army source said the
Sternists kidnaped Paro and call
ed him a “damn British spy” be
cause he bears a faint resemb
lance to a British detective who
left Palestine four months ago.
After Paro, a 33-year-old resi
dent of Granville, N. Y., was re
leased by the Sternists he was
held another nine hours by Israeli
, military police. Asked why the
1 army had held him so long a
spokesman replied:
“To clear up such a mystery in
nine hours is not bad police
work.”
MacDonald said he had filed a
full report of the incident with
the state department and had sent
a strongly worded protest to Dr.
Bernard Joseph, the Jewish mili
tary governor in Jerusalem.

Postpone Election
In Soviet Zone
(By Edwin Shank*)
BERLIN (/P)—Marshall Vassily
D. Sokolovsky announced yester
day that Germans in the Russian
zone will not be allowed to hold
community elections this fall.
The Russian commander said
the voting will be put off for one
year. It is the first time in the oc
cupation that one of the four pow
ers has postponed an election.
Sokolovsky issued his order
over the protests of the zone’s two
non-communist parties—the Con
servative Christian Democrats and
the Rightist Liberal Democrats,
the parties demanded only last
week through their press and at
open meetings that “in the name
of democracy” the people be given
a chance to vote.”
Non-communist leaders have
claimed the communists want the
elections put off because they
feared they would suffer a severe
defeat. The communists have
claimed the people are “too busy
working for recovery” to vote.
American and German police j
| reported a quiet night at the sec-1
| tor borders after a day marked by
i several incidents near troubled
Potsdamer Platz, where three sec
tor boundaries converge.
However, in the Russian sector
unidentified persons stoned the
offices of the anti-communist
Christian Democratic Union, party
| officials reported. The Soviet
j controlled police said they were
! hunting the culprits.
I
; Alaska, they have been stopping
: at villages and fish camps along
| the way to hold gospel meetings.
' They plan to stop at every village
i on Norton Sound. The party has j
already traveled over 700 miles,
and will cover almost 2000 by the
time they reach home. While in
Nome they will hold special serv- j
ices in the L. W. Y. Mission.
Commodity Prices |
Continue To Fall
In States
■
(By Radar WInget)
NEW YORK (/P)—A shift in the
American inflation pattern echoes
throughout the .world in a con
fused rumbling.
Currencies and commodities
are being adjusted to a peacetime
level from the chaos that grew
out of the war.
The change is not a sudden de
velopment. It has been going on
for some time. It will continue.
There will be stresses and strains
as each country alters its way of
life for the best interests of itself
and in harmony with its neigh
bors.
The steady fall in American
farm commodity prices has been
a powerful lever on the rest of
the world. But at the same time
the rise in the industrial price
level of the United States pushed
the world the other way.
In Monday’s market, the list of
commodities that declined is im
pressive; eggs, butter, wheat, corn,
oats, rye, soybeans, lard, cotton
seed oil, wool, cotton, coffee, co
coa and hides.
New lows for the season were
made in the Chicago futures mar
ket for corn, oats, soybeans, lard
and some deliveries of wheat.
Cotton fell below the average
level at which the government is
pledged to support the market
with loans to farmers .
But at the same time, the total
production of goods and services
in the United States in the second
quarter this year was reported by
the department of commerce at
an annual rate of $248,000,000,000
—a new record. There are no in
dications that the rise is slacken
ing.
A major part of that increase in
the dollar volume of production
was laid at the door of inflation.
