Say Failure Y/ill Set Europe Back By 10,000 Years
Paris, July 12,— (UP)—Forty-eight statesmen sat down around a table in the foreign offlce today and opened a fateful, Russian- boycotted conference on the Marshall PleCn which perhaps was their last chance to pull the 16 Western European nations they represent out 'of   a   deepening   morass   of   bankruptcy,   hunger   and   despair.
If their deliberations succeed, Western Europe may, with American help, attain to a prosperity end muiuai trust that it has never known. Count Carlo Sforza, Italy's foreign minister, warned that if thej' fail, civilization will be set back 10,000

Room for One Car Here at a Time But Big Trucks, Pedestrians Keep Trying
This ts a part of Pennsylvania's vast highway system — and a small portion it if, for two cars cannot pass each other in this narrow underpass which leads from Lu¬ zerne to the upper reaches of the borough and then to Bunker Hill and  the  Back  Mountain  region.
While only one car can negotiate the tiny underpass at a time, pedestrians also find themselves a neglected lot since no provi¬ sion has been made for their safety   on    this   roadway.
Already one life has been lost and numerous injuries incurred by pedestrians caught in the under¬ pass trap by vehicles, Man.v head- on collisions have rceulted as motorists attempted to gain prior¬ ity passage through the single-lane underpass.
Latest boon to danger has been the addition of huge trailer trucks which ease through and crowd the underpass en route to mine operations in Luzerne and Swoyet:- villc.
Thfe "Narrow Bridge' warning sign has been knocked down and now rests on the ground out of view of motorists.
Out of view of many residents who are eyeing Pennsylvania's widely heralded safety campaign, this dangerous underpass is in constant use daily by residents and motorists who see not even the slightest chance for safety here and are content to keep their fingers crossed and hope to get through - - with   luck.

Ancient City History
Yf ashed Up by Big Rain
Water in Wood Street Area Caused by Flow from Penna. RR Drain, Built .After Civil War When Canal Was Filled
A portion of Wilkes-Barre's ancient history came to light in the investigation made of the Hooded conditions in the South Main, South Franklin and Wood streel areas nearly two weeks ago.
It waan't bad planning on the cit;A. part after all and the fear that   another   drain   would   have   to   be   installed   seems   eliminated.
Trouble was caused by overflowing of the old masonry culvert, built right afler the Civil War, under ths Pennsylvania Railroad. When  all that water,  gu.shing «iit by blowing up the manholes in a
years.
Undisturbed by East-West fric¬ tion, the conference worked with speed unprecedented in interna- national meetings since the end of the war. The conference held a first session that lasted from 11:03 a. m. to 12:0.') p. m. Russia Also Moves Fast
Russia and one of its satellites, Czechoslovakia, also disclosed an example of quick agreement today. It was a far-reaching, five-year trade treaty which may be, the start of a Russian counter-offen¬ sive  project to  the Marshall  Plan
Cowmunist Premier Klemen Gotl- wald. Foreign Minister Jan Masaryk and Minister of Justice Prokop Dritina. returned to Prague, the capital of their country, and an¬ nounced that Russia in 1948 will de- Uver to Czechoslovakia 400,000 tons of wheat, fodder and corn, e.S.OOO tons of fertilizers, 20,000 tons of cotton and various ores.
Czechoslovakia will deliver loco¬ motives, machinery, meat, sugar, shoes and textiles. Gottwald, Masaryk and Dritina had spent only two days in Moscow. But during that time, they had reached the trade agreement and also agreed with Premier Joseph Stalin that Czechoslovakia should back out of the Paris Conference after it had accepted an invitation. Haste Urged
During the hour and two minutes of the first session. Foreign Min- Lster Ernest Bevin of Britain and Foreign Minister Georges Bidault of France, representing the Inviting powers, made short speeches. They, as well as Sforza, ttie only other speaker, emphasized the urgent need of haste to save western Europe from economic chaos,

long   stretch   from   South   Wilkes Barre    Corners    up    to    Waverly Place    and    Whalen   Court,   there followed a rush far more than the city  drains  lould  handle.
Councilman Oliver Price said yes¬ terday that it is considered cer¬ tain this old and big culvert, which is flve feet high and three feet wide, backed up because it was blocked. This is fortunate because if it should be proved the culvert just was not big enough any more, the city would face trouble. Followed Canal Days
City Engineer Guy B. Walker explained that the big culvert was built when the old canal was filled in and the railroad built where it  used  to be.
"When the canal was fhere," he said, "all the water that drained down from the Hill went into it. That's what made the canal. Prob- ablly, before there was a canal, there was a creek along there and streams flowing into it off what is now the Heights section of Wilkes-Barre.
"We are shown all the time that when cities build therhselves over the natural waler courses, tlie water has to be taken care of. It does not stop flowing just because the creek bed is filled in. Built in    1870*8
"That is why, to take care of nearly all the water which flows down from the Heights, tbe big culvert  was  biult  wherf the  canal
was   filled  in.   That  was   done  In the 1870's.
"Pennsylvania Railroad built that part which flows from Northamp¬ ton street down to Solomon's Creek,
"Lehigh Valley built the other part, taking the water the other way to the north, under tracks part way and then out to the river under what are now the Laurel Line tracks.
"Naturally, when that culvert, carrying all that water, was blocked, the ¦water backed up and terrific force was generated. It had to go some place and blew out the man holes. That sent all the water over towards Wood street. Drains Filled
"All our drains from that sec¬ tion were full to the top. They couldn't carry any more. So the water spread out over the ground."
Councilman Price added that the discovery of the real cause ended his belief that a new drain would have to be installed on South Franklin street, from Elizabeth sireet to Wood,
"The drains there are all right,"
he  said.    "There  is   no  reason   to
expect drains there to handle such
an  emergency   as   this,   caused   by

Jews Threaten to Kill Two British Hostages
Jerusalem, Palestine, July (UP) Menahem Beigin, chief of tlie Jewish underground group Ii-gun Zvai Leumi, threatened to¬ night that two British sergeants Ifidnapped from the diamond center of Nathanya, would be hanged unless "our prisoners of War are  given  a  fair  deal,"
The death threat came soon after Brig. J. W. R. Moore announced military operations againsi Jewish that the British army will start cxtremLsts  tomorrow  morning,
Beigln's threat was contained In * letter received by Mayor Oved Ben-Ami of Nathanya. who had ap¬ pealed for the release of the hostages.

Beigin, in his letter to the mayor, said:
"No, no, this time we shall neither let these two hostages go nor allow anyone to intervene-in their behalf. This time we mean business. We shall hang them unless our own prisoners of war are given a fair deal." Retaliation  Move
The Irgunist leader's statement bore out earlier belief that the kid¬ nappings were carried out in retali¬ ation for the death .sentences con¬ firmed last week on three Irgunists convicted of participating in the daring Acre prison raid last May.
Moore, military commander of the area, informed Ben-Ami that "the army will start operations which will 'inconvenience' the local population." He said that he would take every drastic step short of martial law unless the hostages were retivned.
NEW SUPER-ROCKET CAN CARRY 200-LB. LOAD 8,000 MPH
Colorado Springs, Colo., July 12, (UPI-The United States has de¬ veloped a super-rocket '\vhich could carry a 200-pound load across the country at 8,000 miles an hour, a scientist who inspected the rocket proving grounds at White Sands, N.  M.,  disclosed  today.
Dr. Walter Orr Roberts, superin tendent of the high altitude ob servatory of Harvard Universit.v and the University of Colorado at Climax, Colo., described the new "Neptune" rocket to a Rotary Club   meeting.
"This is not a dream," he said, "but a completed thing. It has been developed for scientific pur poses — I   hope,"
^ He said the 8,000-mile-an-hour speed and 200-pound load, which could be "a bomb if necessary," were "proven statistics." He said the rocket could rise 235 miles above   the   earth's   surface.
White .Sands, N. M., July 12. (UPl—Army Ordnance Proving Ground officers had no comment tonight on reports that the U. S. had developed an 8,000-miles-an- hour  super-rocket.
Maj. P. G.* Scholar, executive officer, said the newest "Neptune" rocket 'was "a Navy project" about which the Army would aay nothing.
Long-Winded Talks Delay Tax Bill Vote to Monday
Washington, July 12. (UP)- Sen¬ ate tax-cutters bowed to long- winded opposition oratory tonight and put off until Monday passage of the revived $4.1000,000.000 income tax reduction bill.
Chairman Eugene D. Millikln, R., Colo., of lhe finance committee and Republican Whip Kenneth S. Wherry had planned lo keep the unusual Saturday session going un¬ til the Senate waa ready to vole.
But afler the Senate had quickly killed a number of opposition amendments, foes of the measure lossed such a stream of argument againsi il under the Senate's un¬ limited debate rule that Repub¬ licans leaders decided to call' it a day.
The Republican leadership reluc tanlly consented to a recess al 8:49 p. m. EDT, afler a session lasting nearly 10 hours.
The Senate is now expected to pa.ss the House-approved bill Mon¬ day.
The House passed the bill Tues¬ day with 26 more votes than it will need lo override the veto President   Truman   has   promised
Just before the Senate recessed. Democratic Leader Alben W. Barkley of Kentucky said he was confident the Upper House could complele action Monday and that President Truman would probably send  it  back  with  a  veto.
A United Press poll shows 33 senators, including two Republi¬ cans, lined up to support n presi¬ dential veto, Tliirty-two would be sufficient to sustain if 94 senators were  present.
The major amendment still pend¬ ing would extend to married couples in all states a community properly benefit permitting them to split their incomes for tax pur- pcscs. Sen. John D. McClellan. D.. Ark., sponsor of the amendment, said it would require only a short debate.
Although no specific hour wa? set for a final vote on the bill, it appeared likely the Senate would reject McClellan's amendment and approve the bill "as is." t'nlikc   Texas  Republicans
Earlier, the determined effort of Maiorily Whip Kenneth Wherry of Nebraska brought loud objections from Sen, Tom Connally, D„ Tex,, who oHservcd:

The House passed tlje $4,000,- 00O,0(X) a year lax slash Tuesday with a margin of 26 more voteg than would be needed to overside the velo which President Truman has promised.
The Senate will pass the new bill but by a smaller margin. As things stand now, foe.s of the measure ap¬ parently have_enough votes — 33 — lo sustain a veto. It lakes a two- third-s mpjority to override. O'Mahoney Talks 3 Hours
After the Senate had defeated a number of amendments, Sen. Joseph C. O'Mahoney. D., Wyo., spoke two hours against the bill.
O'Mahoney argued that any Treasury surplus should be used for debt rather than tax reduction.

Neiv Labor Law Violated by CIO To Force Test
Washington, Jirty 12. (UP)- CIO President I'hilip Murray and Wal¬ ter P. Reuther. head of the CIO's biggest union, deliberately violated the Taft-Hartley Act today to pro¬ voke court tests of ils ban on union  political  expenditures.
Murray violated tlie ban by pub¬ lishing an editorial statement tak¬ ing sides in a Maryland congres- but  sional  campaign.

Killing of 7 Negroes in Prison Called Massacre
Brunswick, Ga., July 12 (UP) — Negro convicts who survived "a massacre" at the Anguilla prison camp told a coroner's jury loday that Warden H. G. Worthy was "half drunk" 'and gave the com¬ mand for the barrage of shots that killed seven of their number and wounded six by shouting to guards: "Mow 'em  down,  boys."
Their stories were heatedly de¬ nied by Worthy and other white men who witnessed the shooting late yesterday afternoon. Bul the coroner's inquest was recessed abruptly when Superior Judge Gor¬ don Knox convened a grand jury for Wednesday to investigate al the request of C. G. Cogdcll, a white attorney retained by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
While the coroner's inquest heard witnesses, one of the convicts wounded, died, brings the death toll to seven. The chief convict witness was Willie (Pee Wee) Bell, a Ufer, who accused the warden.
Denying liie accusations of Worthy that he had led a "mutiny' or "revolt" of convicts, Bell said Worthy had ordered the barrage.
Another convict, Albert Adams, said that just before the shooting began Worthy had called from out¬ side the stockade: "Come on out. Pee Wee, I want to kill you." Rather than "lunging" at Worthy, as Worthy alleged. Bell backed into the crowd of convicts and asked the warden to let him take off his shoes because he didn't want lo die wilh his shoes on, Adams said. Denies Charging Warden
Bell also denied Worthy's charge that he lunged at the warden when he entered the stockade. The guards fired inlo 27 convicts mill¬ ing around in the wire enclosure. The trouble siarted when the 27 refused to wade into a swamp water to cut roadside weeds. They were returned to the camp and (Continued on Page A-12)
So. Carolina Told to Let Negroes Vote in Primary
Charleston, S. C, July 13 (UP)— Federal District Judge J. Vvaites Waring ruled today that the state of South Carolina must permit Negroes lo vote in heretofore all- while Democratic primary elec¬ tions.
Waring granted a plea by George Elmore, a Columbia, S, C, Negro who asked for a declaratory judg¬ ment lo prevent the Democratic parly from barring Negroes at the polls.
Democratic parly leaders turned the primary in Piuth Carolina into a "private clui * affair after the U. S. Supreme Court ruled that a state cannot bar Negroes from elections in .which federal offices are  at stake.
Georgia   followed   the   Identical
pattern when the slate legislature met last spring but Gov, M. E, Thompson vetoed the "white su¬ premacy"   legislation.
South Carolina Democrats took the position that as long as their primary was held as a parly and not a state election, the Supreme Court decision did not apply.
But Waring held that "the pres¬ ent Democratic party is acting for and on behalf of the people of South Carolina and the primary is the only practical place where one can express a choice,"
Racial distinction, he said, "can¬ not bc allowed to cxi"* 'n the ma¬ chinery which selecLt, the law¬ makers and officers of the United States."

They said that Kaiser, 49, would be given a preliminary court hear¬ ing Mond.ay on charges of assault with intent to kill.
Bricker said Kaiser rame to him three months ago and again yes¬ terday demanding to know when the senator was going to return "the money vou stole" from the Columbia Building and Loan Asso¬ ciation of Columbus 15 years ago.
The former Ohio Governor and 1944 Republican vice-presidential nominee explained that Kaiser ap¬ parently lost some money when the company was ordered liquidated in 1932 by Bricker—who was then Ohio atiorney general.
Kaiser's statement that he shot at Bricker lo "refresh his memory' apparently referred to that liquida¬ tion.

San Krancisco, July 12.—(I I"! — Scinnce has developed a new exploNive poxy^rful cniiugh lo burl steel comi* beyond the pull of gravity where tliey will float around the earth forever, an astronomer said today.
The explosive, named penolite, has been a closely guarded military secret since its ilcvclopinciit n( vc-.i years ago, acrording to Dr. Fritz Zwicky, astronomer at   >lt.  WilSon Oliservatoiy.
In a report to the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, Zwicky said scientiHlK already have alteinpted to toss projectiles high enough  to  Ix'coine  artificial  satellites like  Ihe  moon.
The attempts failed but new experiments are being planned, lie said.
If the tents succeed thoy mighl mark a milestone in the development  of  inter-planctary   coinniuniration,   Zwicky   said.
I'cnolitc is repiitrd to be about one-third more powerful than TNT and capable of propelling one of the cones at about six miles per wcond.
Zviicky's disclosure came on the hecU of an announcement that the Iniversitj' of California's new 4,00(l-lon cyclotron has blasted as many as '^2 and possibly 30 particlt s from an atomic nucleus and  produced  new  atoms not  found  in  nature.
