Big Fleet Used
Moving Refugees
To New Homeland
Geneva IP The International
Refugee Organization now oper
ates the largest mass civilian
transport fleet in the world, con
sisting of 36 ocean-going passen
ger ships.
One 1RO ship carrying displac
ed persons to overseas countries
to resettle leaves a European port
every day. The agency spends
$18:5,00 dally on their transport.
Up to the end of March, the
agency had transported in 31
months of operations approxi
mately 130,000 refugees to new
homelands overseas. During the
next 15 months its plans call for
send ne 355.346 additional dis
placed persons on its ships bound
for the United states, Australia
Canada, Brazil and many other
countries.
At present, 20 United States
Army transports ana lb vessels
operated by private companies
fly the IRO flag, a life preserver
on a dark blue Held.
Language Taught
All IRO ships carry escort of
ficers to care for the refugees.
Duties of these officers include
organizing work details among
the displaced persons; classes in
English with lessons given by
those refugees familiar with the
language; lectures on the United
States and concerts.
' Movies, canteens selling ciga
rettes and candy, and deck games
make' refugee crossing similar to
those of any tourist ship.
Refugees take everything they
own and baggage sometimes cre
ates problems. Farmers have
shipped ploughs. One vaudeville
performer took along a flock of
pigeons, which created quaran
. tine difficulties with the Argen
tine customs. When another
trouper wanted to take .his train
Jed dog along, arrangements had
to be made to transfer him in
ther than an army ship, which
prohibits transport of animals.
Some Go By Air
, IRO often moves expectant
mothers, infants, and invalids by
air, since regulations prevent
their being transported by ship.
In the past .year 8,587 persons
have been flown to their new
homelands: 4,242 to Venezuela,
3,625 to Canada, and the re-main-tier
to the United States, Brazil,
Peru and other countries.
IRO'S latest mass-scale ship
ping headache was the problem
of emergency removal from
Shanghai of some 6,000 White
Russian refugees threatened by
the advancing Communist arm
ies. The. Phillipine government
offered them a temporary haven
on the Island of Samar.
A senior official of IRO's ship
ping division flew to the Far
East and arranged to charter
two ships and several airplanes.
In three and a half months, 3,000
persons were moved to Samar by
sea and 1,200 others went by air.

Shelton Shot
From Ambush,
Will Live
Fairfield, 111., May 25 IP Big
Earl Shelton lay critically wound
ed In a hosptlal today. Little Ear
stood guard at the door and little
Carl swore to avenge the latest
ambush shooting In the saga of
the natorlous Shelton clan.
It was almost a "dead man's
hand" that big Earl, 58, oldtime
southern Illinois gang chieftain,
was dealt during a poker game at
his "resort" last night.
An unseen gunman on the
roof of a garage next door fired
three shots through the second
story window of the Farmer's
club, which big Earl operates on
the town square.
The first two shots missed, but
the third slug tore Into his body,
narrowly missing his heart.
Expected (o Live
Big Earl was luckier than two
of his brothers, big Carl and Ber
nie. They both were shot to death
in ambush. Doctors believed big
Earl would live.
His nephew, little Carl, was in
the club last night when the gun
shots silenced the slatter of poker
chips. Little Carl said he drew his
.45 and fired back, "but the var
mint got away."
"But I hope ne comes back,"
little Carl said. "I hope he don't
leave us alone now."
Little Carl said he wanted to
"get started with the investiga
tion" to keep police from "fouling
it up." CBMSM
None ol tne bneiton clan would
talk about a motive for the shoot
ing. Neither would police. But
townspeople believed it might
have had some connection with
the ambush slaying ,of Bernie
Shelton at Peoria almost a year
ago.
Some believed the shooting of
big Earl might even have been an
overgrowth of the incredible
gang warfare the Sheltons waged
in the 1920's, when they used
army army tanks, planes and in
fantry tactics to wipe out a rival
band of bootleggers.
Rural Fire Zone

Culver, May 25 With the Cul
ver volunteer fire department
taking the lead, efforts are being
intensified toward invoking a
state law and establishing a rural
fire district for south Jefferson
county, south from Madras to the

Arnold Pcttibone, president of
the Culver department, announc

association, members of which
range their sheep and cattle over
the more than 100,000-acre soil

This gives Culver two fire
trucks and will enable the depart
ment to answer country calls
without leaving town property un
protected. to retrieve the ball, a gopher
roaming the outfield bit him on

Later, Charles Brown, Myrtle
Creek pitcher, sprained his ankle
running to back up his catcher
on a throw-in from left field.

Out On the Farm
, By Ha S. Grant
May 25 Planting a strawber
ry patch is almost as much fun
as eating strawberry shortcake.
And better for the figure.
Beginners on these oversize
acreages fall heir to all sorts of
presents from their friends, and
when a neighbor offers "ail the
strawberry plants you want,"
just for digging them up, it's not
to be taken lightly. Last night
we put out the last of the sets.:
Those planted the night before
were somewhat wilted, because
the planting was done after dark
in the beam from the car's head
lights, and the sprinkling was
postponed.
A good wetting last night kept
the new plants crisp and fresh,
and seemed to revive those that
were planted earlier. There must
be over 200 plants, and in terms
of berries, that should be sev
eral jars of jam, conservatively
speaking.
Last night the pond in the
north pasture was almost dry.
There was a leak in the ditch
somewhere, and the sprinkler
system used the water faster
than it flowed In. Jiggs, a cousin
of a Brittany spaniel, several
times removed, takes his ances
try - seriously, and he seemed
chagrined because his bathing
pool was ruined. The raft the
Young Man made out of five of
his Dad's best fence posts was
beached far from the water, and
he abandoned all hope of taking
a "boat ride" for awhile.
The Head Engineer turned off
the sprinkler system and went

Hole in Ground
Safe Hiding Spot
Quartzsite, Ariz, nil Felix
Buba is convinced a hole in the
ground is a safe place to hide
valuables.
While digging for gold, near
here in 1920, he buried his' tools,
blasting powder, caps and two bot
tles of placer gold several hun
.dred yards from the Yum Yum
mine.
He hid the articles because he
was called on what he thought
would be a short trip to the Amer
ican river diggings in California.
He returned here nearly 20
years later and visited the camp
site. Curiosity prompted him to
see if the cache was where he had
left it.
To his surprise he found all the
articles, including the bottle of
gold, intact.
to work with his irrigation shovel,
repairing the ditch. We "trade"
water with a neighbor, and with
his flow added to our own, the
pond soon started to fill. Fearful
that the lake might overflow its
banks, the farmer made a trip to
the field late at night and turned
the water into the "dry" land
east of the pasture. A little water
makes wonderful bunch grass,
a.nd Gypsy, the mare, will love it.
The column's most critical read
er asked innocently last night, "I
wonder how that, rye got into the
pasture mixture? I'm sure it was
oats that I, planted."
