Far Bast problems.

to the western trade blockade.
Dulles made it clear he op
poses any such high level meet
ing until the present lower
level Geneva talks are exhaust
ed. He s'aid the possibilities at
Geneva have not yet been so
exhausted.
Dulles disclosed the Chin
ese comtmunislt and American
special ambassadors, who have
been discussing repatriation of
civilians since Aug. 1, have
now turned to “other practical
matters” on their agenda.
It is in discussion of this
second broader item, he said,
that Chinese ambassador Wing
Fing-Nan, has raised the ques
tion of a higher level meet
ing. presumably at the foreign
ministers level and also at
Geneva.

Four accidents
in storm tossed
B.C. waters
VANCOUVER, B. C. (/P)
Four marine accidents in Brit

coasital waters in less than a
week have taken the lives of
at least two men.
The search continues today
for the possible survivors of
one of the mishaps.

The RGAiF, which sent a
Canso aircraft to help in the
weekend search, said it would

from surface craft before send

The crew of a Seattle fish
boat were on their way home
from Alert Bay, off the north
east coast of Vancouver Island
after being rescued by a tug.
Their boat struck a rock and
sank.
Last week ranger W. H.

Neil, 21, were drowned in
Knight Inlet, 175 miles north

Three American fishermen
made it safely to an island in
the same area after their crip
pled 74-tfoot fish carrier was in
danger of sinking in (heavy
seas.
John Wood, 73, of Olympia,
Wash., reached safety here last
week after surviving seven
days adrift and alone in the
Pacific 400 miles northwest
of Vancouver. He was in dan
ger of being blown on to rocks
in an open dory.
The hardy old-timer said it
was his third trip between
Washington state and Alaska
in an open boat. And the first
time he hiad got into trouble.

GETTING HARD TO PICK
OUTSTANDING TEAMS
by. The Associated Press
When four football teams
which had been listed in the
nation’s top ten get licked on
one weekend and several of
the others win without look
ing particularly good, there’s
some understandable confusion
among the men who pick them
The sports writers and broad
casters who rate the teams
weekly in the Associated Press
poll responded to this situation
today (by putting Michigan.
Maryland and Oklahoma in the
top three positions for the third
straight week — with Okla
homa creeping up on a Mary
land team that once was rated
first.
The four losers, Notre Dame,
Georgia Tech, Wisconsin and
Texas Christian, dropped out
oif the first ten ratings with the
impressive winners of the top
sy-turvy weekend moving up
to take their places.
Michigan, in spite of a rather
rocky 14-2 game against North
western, remained almost star
tionary in first place.
Maryland’s support for the
No. 1 position weakened as Jim
Tatum’s Terrapins had to stage
a strong finish to beat North
Carolina 25-7. But there were
enough ballots for second and
third to keep the Terps in the
runnenup spot with 1,487 points
to Oklahoma’s 1,434. Maryland
got only 33 first as compared
to 45 <a week ago while the
Sooners drew 29.
The top ten teams:
1. Michigan; 2 Maryland; 3
Oklahoma; 4 Navy; 5 Duke; 6
Michigan State; 7 UCLA.; 8
West Virginia; 9 Auburn; 10
Southern California.
The second ten:
11 Notre Dame; 12 Texas A
&M; 13 Georgia Tech; 14 Colo
rado; 15 Wisconsin; 16 Baylor;
17 Boston College; 18 Texas
Christian; 19 Yale; 20 Holy
