U. S. Diplomats
Will Confer On
Asian Situation
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17. P
The White House announced to
day that American diplomats in
eastern Asia will hold a regional
conference at Banckok in Jan
uary. President Truman Is ser. 1
lng Philip C. Jessup, the adminis
tration's top diplomatic trouble
shooter, to It.
Bangkok is the capital of Thai
land (Slam).
Jessup will go from the United
States to Tokyo, It was learned,
and visit the Phlllipines, Na
tionalist China, and a number of
other countries which figure !n
American plans for developing a
strong anti-communist stand In
that area.
After the Bangkok meeting.
Jessup will return to the United
Staios by way of Indian Pakis
tan. The White House announce
ment was made after President
Truman held a 7C minute review
of United States far eastern
policy with Secretary of State
Acheson, Jessup and other rank
ing state department policy
makers.
The United States now is at
odds with both sides In the con
flict in China. Acheson is trying
to figure out what to do about
the situation.
On the one hand he had the
problem of taking new and if pos
sible more forceful steps to get
Consul General Angus Ward re
leased from a communist jail at
Mukden.
On the other hand he was con
fronted with a need for decision
on what position this government
should take regarding the shell
ing of the American merchant
ship, the Flying Cloud, by a Chi
nese Nationalist warship. The
warship was seeking to enforce
a blockade of communist held
ports which the United States
aoes not recognize as a legal
blockade.
Acheson said yesterday that
the effect of the Imprisonment of
Ward and four other consulate
staff members at Mukden had al
ready ended any possibility of
even considering American recog
nition of the Chinese communist
regime.

hours without medical attention.
After the Brownlee Incident,
the board decided to investigate
the entire prison.
The board said today It would
require Prison Warders George
Alexander to mane mommy re
ports about conditions at the pen
itentiary. And the board said its
investigation will continue at the
prison and at other institutions.
All of the reforms announced
today should be In effect within
a few weeks.
Deferred By Funds Lack
"We are not unmindful of the
fact that for several years con
ditions at the penitentiary have
been subject to public criticism, '
the board said.
"Tlv? increase of the prison
population during such time has
overlaxed all of its facilities and
the lack of finances has curtail
ed operations."
"During the past year the
building construction program
now in progress has added to
unrest of prisoners and the over
crowded condition of the institu
tion has not produced Idel re
sults nor conditions beneficial to
the Inmates nor such as the Stale
of Oregon should require and
maintain."
"However, the board of control
is striving to do its best under
difficult circumstances and will
continue its investigation, not
only at the penitentiary but at
all other state Instituions under
is direction, and will, report from
time to time and confide in the
public the exact conditions exist
ing in each of such institutions."

Officials have indicated that
Mr. Truman may propose the

If this Is rejected, he then would
invoke the Taft-Hartley emerg

China's Try Falls
The six-month old coal dispute
was put in the preisdent's hands
yesterday. Cyrus S. Ching, federal
mediation service chief, reported
to the White House there seemed
to be little use In trying further
to get Lewis and the operators
to agree on a conference.
Lewis had asked for more
wages and shorter hours for
miners. He also wants a boost in
the present 20-cents-a-ton royalty
on coal production which goes
to finance his union's welfare
fund. The fund pays for miners'
pensions and Insurance benefits.

boost their labor costs. They have
offered to renew their old miners'
contract. It expired last July.
Lewis called off a 52-day strike
last week. But his truce expires
Dec. 1 and he has broadly hinted
the walkout will be renewed then
if his demands aren't granted.

WASHINGTON (N E A( A
special investigation of crime
conditions and rackets in the Dis
trict of Columbia has been or
dered by Congress. One of the
things this probe is expected to
go into is the widespread, or
ganized gambling that goes on in
government buildings. Every
Friday afternoon in the fall work
practically stops while govern
ment employes try to pick their
selections for the next day's foot
ball pool. Two or three syndi
cates operate these pools. Every
weekend the gamblers' take on
the football pool alone is extirpat
ed to be more then $20,000.
All year long the numbers rac
ket and horse betting flourish.
Government officials ignore the
situation and many top execu
tives themselves play the ponies
regularly with the bookies in the
buildings. Most of the syndicates'
agents are government employ
es, messengers and janitors.
They use the government tele
phones to call in bets as they get
them.
In the Pentagon there la com
petition among the agents for the
business. The only time officials
take action is when the gam
blers fight among themselves.
Local police are handicapped in
trying to stop this activity be
cause their jurisdiction in a fed
eral building is vague. And most
local building guards have no in
structions to stop gambling.
. Total yearly take from U. S.
buildings here Is estimated at be
ing over $5,000,000.

Great Virgil To
Exhibit Feats Of
Magic Tonight
Thrills galore, and plenty of
laughs and fun is promised local
people when The Great Virgil,
premier international illusionist,
with his skilled company of won
der workers, illusionists, electri
cians, demons, ghosts, and gob
lins, bring his show of miracles
to the stage of the junior high
school auditorium tonight at 8
o'clock, under sponsorship of the
Koseourg Active ciud.
The Great Virgil is considered
the fastest and most mystifying
magician on tour today, and it is
said II you nod to a friend you
miss a trick, for he presents as
many as nine mysteries in the
course oi three minutes.
Ooenine with such feats as oa
vorting ghosts, and appearing In
flowers, silks, and rabbits from
thin air, and catching live gold
fish visibly fom the atmosphere,
Virgil goes swiftly into the more
spectacular illusions, such as:
Sawing a woman in half, shoot
ing a bullet through a girl, res
cuing a Jungle princess who has
been captured by the cannibals.
The Chinese fantasy of a night
in the palace oi Feiping, and
dozens of other effects using tons
oi elaborate and costly equip
ment that will tax the capacity
of the junior high stage.
, June, The Great Virgil s lead
ing lady, who is billed as Ameri
ca's Sweetheart of Magic is fea
tured In many or the illusions,
being sawed in half, dissolved,
tortured, vanished, and produc
ed. The full opening performance
of The Great Virgil is said lo
be lust one long thrill and laugh-
packed evening that is more lun
than a tnree ring circus.

Search Launched For Lest
Bomber Carrying 20 Men
HAMILTON, Bermuda, Nov. 17.
UP) The biggest peacetime air
rescue search in history was un
derway today for a lost B-29
bomber which ran out of fuel
and crashlanded in the sea some
where near Bermuda yesterday.
None were from the Pacific
Northwest.
Nearly 100 Air Force, Navy
and Coast Guard planes from
bases all along the Atlantic sea
board criss-crossed above Bermu
da's surrounding water.; hoping
for a sight of the stricken bomb
er or bobbing liferafts.
The last word from the super
fortress, whose navigation instru
ments failed on a flight to Eng
land, was a radio message: "Go
ing to ditch in five minutes."
After that message yesterday
morning a U. S. coast guard ves
sel heard weak SOS signals
spurring hopes that the ci:w
men had taken to rubber life
rafts equipped with automatic
wireless distress signalers.
The plane, part of a B-29 group
enroute to England from March
Air Base, California, lost its way
when its radio navigation equip
ment failed and it encountered
bad weather. U. S. officials at
Klndley Air Base here thought
it probably went down 150 miles
soul hwefi or northeast of Ber
muda.
The plane, carrying five of fi
cers and 15 enlisted men, was
commanded by Lieut. Col. John ;
Grable Jr., of March Air Base.
