too much competition between

Not that an occasional apple or

that children who can't afford

sometimes have given way to a

"beat the brush" of this federal

ed search for a missing inmate.
The search of the brush-covered
4,400-acre island was started
after Henry Clay Tollett, 55, a

are found on the island when they
get hungry or cold enough. Tidal
currents make it virtually impos

Dr. Ralph J.- Bunche, former
United Nations mediator in Pal

post of ambassador to Russia, the
Philadelphia Inquirer said today.
The Inquirer said it had learn
ed through sources close to the
government" that Dr. Brunche
is being actively pressed for the
position now held by Admiral
A. J. Kirk. Kirk is believed to
be planning to ask for relief
early next year, the newspaper
said
Two major considerations are
behind the Bunche boom, the In'
quirer said:
1. He is admittedly one of the
world's top diplomatic figures
largely as a result of his han
dling of the explosive Palestine
situation.
2. Highly placed U. S. offi
cials believe his appointment to
the Moscow post would help
counteract the position taken by
Paul Robeson as regards the
role of the Negro in American
democracy. t
In a telephone Interview yes

quirer he Is still adhering to his
policy of "never commenting on
