Flasli Flood 0/ocks Fire House in Luzerne
Front entrance of Luzerne's flre station was made impassable yesterday morning when high water covered Tener street and a car became stalled In the middle of the narrow street that leads from the fire station to the Main street businesa district. A short time after the picture was taken another car attempted to run through the water and sUUed In front of the one shown in the picture. '
Because of settlements, there has always been a drainage problem at this point. Water from Main, Tener and Hughes streets flows Into thki low point In front of the fire station during every heavy storm. For 28 years varied efforts have been made to solve this flooding situation, but to no avail. '
Fire Chief Dick Morgan when questioned about the movement of fire apparatus said that "the firemen solved, in part, the problem by putting doors on the rear of the flre station so that apparatus  can   respond   either  by  way  of  Tener street or North Walnut street at the rear."
Numerous other intersections In Luzerne were flooded In yesterday's storm. As usual, traffic was halted for several hours at the low point between the Lehigh Valley and DL&W Railroad tracks on Bennett street. This particular point is Impassable following every rainstorm that amounts to more than a sun shower, residents said.

.    Contracts Expiring; '    UA/IWA Demands Sure To Provide Crisis
WASHINGTON—More than 1, 000,000 workers in six major in¬ dustries were mobilizing to hit the new power-shorn wage board for the second helping of wage boosts in little more than a year
The big unions have made It clear they are ready to go to the mat with the board, if necessary, 1(3 get the raises they are demand¬ ant In the coal, shipbuilding, rub- %it, meeltpacking, electrical and copper Industries. Board WUI Try
The new board, which will just get under way formally Tuesday, has lost a lot of its powers to intervene in labor disputes but it already has served notice it will fight to hold the wage line.
Regulations were fluid enough to permit the wage hikes these unions demanded in the last go- around last year. But the boar^ has an ace up its sleeve. In win ning the boosts, the workers used up most or all of the Increase permitted under the law.
In view of the increase the steel workers got, it was expected the board would have to give some^ what. In fact, one top govern ment expert said the panel would have to "loosen up" even to stay in business.
Contracts in the six industries already haVe expired or are due to run out shortly. Barring ne gotiation deadlocks, they'll . be coming up before the board for approval.
The government expert said al t though   the   board   will   work   to hold   the  wage   line,   it   probably won't be able to "stand the pres sure"   from   unions  wielding  the strike threat.
In the coming struggle, the board will be armed with a set of regulations permitting a 10 per cent increase for 1950 and further increases matching the rise in cost ot living from January, 1951 on. It also perniits adjustments to take care  of  "inequities."

GOP Sees Sfevet^son Led by 'Leftwingers'
Summerfield Says Wyatt's Appointment Speaks for Itself
DEa^ER—Arthur E. Summer- field, Republican national chair¬ man, said yesterday the appoint¬ ment of Wilson W. Wyatt as Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson's .Campaign manager "clearly demonstrates that ultra leftwingers" have taken over the Stevenson campaign.
Stevenson. Democratic nominee for President, will oppose Dwight D. Elsenhower, the Republican candidate, in the election Nov. 4. Summerfield is Eisenhower's cam¬ paign manager as well as GOP national chairman.
Sunmierfield said in a statement that the appointment of Wyatt announced at the Stevenson head¬ quarters in Springfield, 111., show¬ ed that a Stevenson administra¬ tion "would out-Truman the Tru¬ man regime in leading the na' tion down the road to complete socialism of America." Warns of Socialism
"It U significant that Mr. Wyatt was formerly the head of Ameri cans   for   Democratic   Action,   an organization dedicated to the pro motion  of socialistic  schemes  in America," Summerfield said.
Summerfield's statement came while Republican leaders who had gathered here for a series of con¬ ferences engaged in a sharp con¬ troversy over the future status of Citizens for Eiisenhower, an or¬ ganization that many GOP lead¬ ers consider vital to the success of the Eisenhower campaign. The citizens group played a leading role in obtaining the GOP nomin¬ ation for Eisenhower.
The group wants independen' and equal status with the Repub¬ lican National Committee in working for Eisenhower's elec- Uon.     •
In addition to the controversy over the future of the citizens group, the Eisenhower leaders had other political problems dumped into their laps. Lumpldn Wanta Audience
Former Lt. Gov. Sam Lumpkin of Mississippi, a leader in the states' rights bolt of four years ago, turned up with a request for a conference with Eisenhower. He hoped to make a deal which, he said, would put Mississippi in the Eisenhower column.
Lumpkin said he represented a large group of Mississippi voters who "are dissatisfied" with the endorsement of the Stevenson ticket by other Mississippi politi¬ cal leaders.
Lumpkin was understood to feel that he could carry Mississippi for Elsenhower if the general would .endorse states rights principles *and not press for passage of a civil rights program and If ho would oust Petry Howard as Re¬ publican National Comm itt eemar for Mississippi. Howard is a Negro. Watkins Reddens Faces
Some of Eisenhower's advisors also showed embarrassment over statements made by Sen. Arthur B. Watkins (R-Utah) after a con¬ ference with Eisenhower.
Watkins, who opposed the North Atlantic Treaty Alliance on the grounds that it was unconstitu¬ tional, told newsmen that he found that he and Ei.senhower were "pretty much in agreement on foreign policy."

HELSINKI—The United States staged the greatest comeback In the history of the Olympic Games yesterday when It charged from behind on the final day of major competition to sew up the team championship which seemed hope¬ lessly lost less than a week ago.
Six days before the Russians lorded a whopping 120H point lead, but gradually the Yanks chiseled it down to 24H points at the start of Saturday's compe¬ tition.
Then came the tingling do-or- die surge. The U. S. basketball team wiggled out of a deep¬ freeze in the last three minutes to beat Russia, 36-25.

And Svelte Patricia McCJormlck of Long Beach, Calif., became Uncle Sam's only double winner of 1952 when she headed a 1-2-3 sweep of the women's high dive. That clinched it. Russia was licked, even though U. S. boxers began whaling away at titles in the evening for a coupe de grace.

New England Textiles Show Signs of Pickup
BOSTON—The Federal Reserve Bank of Boston said yesterday New England's lagging textile in¬ dustry Is beginning "to show signs of a pickup."

It was a sort of fashion bomb¬ shell, particularly for buyers from the United States, Scandinavia and South America. They had paid an average of $1,000 each to get into the show. And they had been holding back their Paris or ders until they could see Dior's collection.

'The woolen firms were quite active," the bank said, "but the worsted division eagerly awaited an upturn after more than a year of slack civilian activity which had curtailed employment and had reduced hours of work."
The bank also reported New England's shoe industry running ahead of last year, producing 34.5 per cent of the nation's entire shoe output in the first four months of 1952.
In general, the bank said. New England economic activity was "less swift" in the second quarter than in the first, with production of civilian goods slackening. How¬ ever, Increased defense contracts and construction helped sustain the volume of activity.
RUSSIANS SEIZE PART OF WESTEI^N GERMANY
RATZEBURG, Germany—Arm¬ ed Russian troops and Communist police, ignoring Drltish protests seized a sliver of Western Ger¬ many Saturday and declared it part of the Soviet zone.
A Russian colonel led a detach ment of police and troop.s armcfl with tommy guns across the bor¬ der near here at 10 a.m. and "an¬ nexed" about 30,000 square yards nt western territory.
The colonel told German offi¬ cials that the strip of territory 1900 yarda long and 165 yard wide, was included erroneously in the British zone when the victorious Allies cut up Germany in 1945,
Asks Eisenhower If Isolationists Will Back General
SPRINGFIELD.—Gov. Adlai E Stevenson yesterday asked If Dwight D. Elsenhower is conduct¬ ing a "crusade" just to elect Re¬ publicans to otfice or to carry out principles.
The Illinois governor and Demo¬ cratic presidential nominee re¬ leased a statement commenting on Eisenhower's news conference remarks at Denver and asking If the retired general really can unite with some of the GOP sena¬ torial candidates seeking reelec¬ tion this year.
My distinguished opponent says that he will support 'to the limit' Republican party winners, whoever they may be, and attach them firmly to his 'crusade,'" Stevenson said. Opposing Views
"I wonder if he is well-ad\'lsed. What kind of crusade can unite Eisenhower and McCarthy? Eisenhower and Jenner? Eisen¬ hower and Kem? Eisenhower and Bricker? I could go on and on."
Stevenson was referring to Sena Joseph R. McCarthy of Wiscon¬ sin, William E. Jenner of Bl- diana, James P. Kem of Missouri, and John W. Bricker of Ohio, all candidates for reelection this year.
All four have been identified with that wing of the GOP which was on the losing side at the national convention which nomi¬ nated Eisenhower for President last month. McCarthy favored Gen. Douglas MacArthur for the nomination, Jenner and Bricker supported Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio. Critics of U. S. Policy
The four have been persistent critics of the administration's foreign policy, although by dif' ferent methods and  degrees.

First to Do So; Signed by Truman As 'Security Step'
KANSAS    dTT,    Mo. — The
United States yesterday became the first of the three Allied pow¬ ers to complete ratification of peace contracts with the West German republic which will per¬ mit it to join the defense of Western Europe.
President Truman signed a peace contract" convention be¬ tween Britain, France and the United States and the German republic, with a North Atlantic Treaty protocol covering the raising of West Grerman troops for integration into Western Eur¬ ope's anti-Conununlsm defense forces.
The Senate approved U. S. rati¬ fication in the session adjourned last .month.
The British House of Commons has completed Parliament's ap¬ proval of the contracts. But Queen Elizabeth has not yet signed them.
Makes Peace Formal
Under the convention, the three Allied powers and West Germany will have, in effect, reached a formal peace.
Relations between the three Allied powers and Russia has pre¬ vented negotiations of a peace treaty  with  Germany.
The convention will replace oc¬ cupation contracts. High commis¬ sioners of occupation will bow out to ambassadors.
The present U. S. high com misisoner, Walter E. Donnelly, was expected to be this nation's first ambassador after the con¬ tracts have been ratified by all four  governments.
British, French and U. S. troops will remain in Western Germany. But they will do so as part of the Western Eluropean defense forces and not as occupation troops. Latest Effort
President Truman hailed this nation's ratification of the con tracts as "the latest in a long series of efforts on the part of this government to establish nor¬ mal and friendly relations be- (Continued on Page A-10)
Saucer Fad
Won't Die;

Air Force Itself Reports Phenomenon Over A-Bomb Site; Coast Guard Helps
WASHINGTON — New flying saucer reports kept pouring in from across the nation yesterday, even from the Air Force which has been trying mightily to kill the "fad" off.
An Air Force spokesman said the latest "mystery object" was sighted zipping over the sands near the atomic bomb laborator' les In Los Alamos, N. M. Seen For SO Minutes
A report from the Los Alamos interceptor wing said witnesses saw a "shining metallic" object flying through the air for more than 30 minutes last Tuesday.
The Air Force said the object, spotted while fighter planes were in the area, made a 360-degree turn before disappearing. It did not attempt to evaluate the report. E]iplains Most
During the week, the Air Force took sufficient official cognizance of the saucer craze to report:
The phenomena mainly are mirages caused by a combination of hot weather, light reflectiona and refractions which can do funny things to both the human eyesight and that electronic mar¬ vel known as radar. Picture Puzzle
But even tlje Air Force was unable to explain away a small percentage of the saucer reports submitted by "reliable" witnesses —Including a C>)ast Guard picture. To explain these, it sought the aid of scientists and new high speed cameras.
It dfd say it is certain that thw saucers post no "menace" to thg safety of the United States or Its people.
Montreal Jail Swept by Riot
For Third Time
MONTREAL.—The second riot in less than 12 hours swept Bor¬ deaux Prison yesterday, and mutinous prisoners finally were tear gassed into surrendering after they had tumed flre hoses on policemen and pelted them with stones and rotten eggs.
The sprawling, star-shaped prison was reported to be littered with debris. Reports from inside the high walls said the rioU Friday night an4 yesterday had made the building almost unin¬ habitable.
Cooking   and   eaUng   faciliUes usually used for basebaU gamea.
were destroyed and plumbing fix¬ tures  were  smashed.   Oil  doors were broken. Th« library was al¬ most wrecked. Insane in Riot
After battling 500 prisoners, many of them criminally insane, for six hours Friday night, police and firemen had to rush back yester,day afternoon to battle a new uprising. About 20O prisoners took part in the new violence, which broke out after many ot the earlier mutineers were taken to provincial police headquarters cells.
The new riot started when pris¬ oners set several small fires. When firemen rolled hoses into the prison, mutineers slashed them. They managed also to grab several hose lines and turn the streams of water on policemen.
At one point, prisoners threw rotten eggs and stones at police¬ men. They also seized some tear gas bombs, which they threw at their attackers. Ccnunissary Raided
Prisoners broke into the com¬ missary and helped themselves to new shoes and cigarettes.
No serious injuries were re¬ ported but one prisoner was over¬ come by gas and taken to a Mon treai hospital.
Reports from the prison said that the rioters took up where Friday night's mutineer's left off in wreaking destruction through¬ out the Institution's six wings.
It took police and firemen only an hour to put down the riot. The mutineers were placed under a tight guard  In a rear  courtyard

Guards carried a snack of ham sandwiches and coffee to the sub¬ dued rioters and they ate sitting on the ground. The food had to l>e bought at restaurants because the prison kitchens were wreck¬ ed.
Refrigerators and storage cabi¬ nets wera overturned. Library books were torn to shreds. Beds were burned.
The new riot was the third at Bordeaux jail and the fourth major demonstration in Canadian prisons in the last three months.
Information on the outbreak was sparse, however. Prison au¬ thorities would not permit news¬ men to enter the building. They were kept at a distance from the walls, for "security" reasons, and received their information from policemen leaving the scene.
In the first Bordeaux riot. May 4, prisoners caused about $100,000 worth of damage.
The melee began when a pris¬ oner in the mental wing pretend¬ ed after dinner that he was ill. When an unarmed guard entered his cell, the convict knocked the guard out, grabbed his keys and opened doors of other cells in the block.
Of Bordeaux's 1,200 prisoners, about 800 are criminally insane, and many of these men roared through the prison, smashing everything they could lay their hands on. They smashed the (Continued on Page A-11)
N.Y. Central Strike Averted Until Monday As Union Chiefs Meet
CLEVELAND, O—A threatened strike against the New York Cen¬ tral Railroad east of Buffalo scheduled for today was averted last night at least until tomorrow
Six thousand engineers, train¬ men, firemen and conductors had threatened to put a two-year-old "strike ballot" into effect this morning in an effort to f9rce settlement of a "stockpile of old grievances and claims" against the railroad.
But Eastern officials of the four rail unions involved said in New York a strike would have to be authorized by the heads of the brotherhoods and that the "earli¬ est" a strike could be called woul.d be tomorrow.
The chiefs of the four operating unions   were   reported   in   secret contact   by   telephone   to   set   a strike date. Shields Favors Delay
J. P. Shields, head of the en¬ gineers, was reported to favor a week's delay in strike date.
Shield's top assistant, Thomas J. Harkins, flew here to confer with Eastern, of ficials of the four brotherhoods. He and Wilbert Reed, assistant to the head of the trainmen, said the strike would have to be approved first by the brotherhood chiefs and that they did not expect a decision until tomorrow.
A strike would affect 8,000 members of the four unions an,d about 14,000 other rail workers in the area.
It would curtail runs of the railroad's crack EJast-West pas¬ senger trains, such as the 20th Century Umited, and would can¬ cel commuter service between New York (Sty and its West¬ chester and Hudson River sub¬ urbs.
The threatened stoppage was the first problem facing William White, new president of the rail¬ road, who move.d into the job Fri¬ day after serving as head of the Lackawanna Railroad.
Shields said the union members authorized the strike on March 7, 1950, but the fact the government was operating the carriers at that time under its "seizure" powers prevented settlement of the dis¬ pute.
The NYC in New York said it could see "no justification" for the strike In view of the fact it was willing to arbitrate or take the dispute to the National Rail¬ road  and  Adjustment Board.
In New York, company officials said that Lawrence W. Horning, vice-president in charge of per¬ sonnel, will meet with representa¬ tives of the four brotherhoods at 10:30 a. m. Monday.
MBRIDEIN, Conn.—A bronze bust bust of Abraham Lincoln, bought by a junk dealer for $25, is being studied by art experts in the be¬ lief it may be worth as much as $100,000.

FUGITIVE MANIACS NABBED IN NEW YORK
NEW YORK —Two criminally insane fug^itives, who kidnapped and robbed two Brooklyn men within 24 hours, were seized by police last night making a last dash for freedom through crowds of weekend travellers in Manhat¬ tan's busy Greyhound Bus Termi¬ nal.
Four hundred police, working around the clock, had hunted the men, who escaped from a state hospital for the criminally insane Monday and went on a crime spree in New York CJity.
Early In the evening two West Side Manhattan radio car officers received a tip from a man who claimed to have seen them.
The policemen saw the pair and gave chase. They followed them to the Greyhound terminal, at Eighth avenue and 34th street, and then gave chase on foot. The fugitives made no attempt to pull guns or  knives.
The   men   were    identified   as Bertolino,   18,   and   Ber-
This Will Stun Speed Critics: Cars No Faster Than in 1937
DETROIT — Two automobiles roared side-by-side down two lanes of a three-lane highway in Michigan a few days ago in a   head-long   race  to  oblivion.
When the mangled bodies were lifted gently from the twisted steel, police found that the speed- omerter on one of the cars was stuck at 104 miles an hour.
The senseless crash, which in¬ volved several other cars, killed one man and injured eight others. Some of the eight are lucky to be alive.
Both of the racing vehicles were expensive,  late model  cars.    One was a Cadillac, the other an Olds¬ mobile. Same Fatal Results
But they could have been Cros- leys or (Chryslers, Henry J's or Hudsons, Fords or Plymouths. The results would have been the same.

go 104 miles an hour unless some¬ one behind the wheel makes them do so.
Tragic, high-speed accidents grab headlines and often put the auto industry on the defensive. Why Such Speed?
"Why do you build such fast powerful cars," critics complain, "when no one should drive much more than 60 miles an hour?" Basic answer to that question and motor companies do not take it lightly, is that cars are more powerful, bot they are also much more safe to operate.
An even better answer is found in some statistics provided by the Automobile Manufacturers Asso¬ ciation.
These show that it's very true that motor car firms are turning out more and more powerful and efficient auto engines. In the last 15 years, the average horse¬ power rating of American cars has gone up 20 yiercent. Accelerap (Continued oa Page A-lfi)
