German fugitives
Brave High Seas
Inflight Abroad
By Brendan Walsh
. . (Unitrd Prw Staff Correspondent)
. Dublin (in A tiny sailing boat,
converted from a rowboat, crept
through the gale-swept seas, al
most smashed itself on a line of
needle-edged rocks and crawled to
the quiet of Wexford harbor.
Its pilot, radio-engineer Paul
Muller, aged 63, and his daughter
Aga, both refugees from the sov
iet zone of Germany, had reached
another step in their desperate
flight to South America.
When he saw them near the
reef, Capt. Mark Bates of the mo
tor trawler Pride of Ilelvic called
for aid and went to their assist
ance. As they approached the tiny
Berlin, the trawler skipper sig
nalled to the Mullers to lower
their sails. Then they maneuvered
close to the Berlin, threw a rope,
and took it in tow.
Caked With Halt
The Mullers' faces were caked
with salt as they came ashore.
They had not had a hot meal
since they left Milford Haven in
Wales three days before.
The Mullers were taken to a
restaurant for hot drinks and a
meal. Beds were prepared for
them but despite their weariness
they refused to sleep ashore, and
returned to their tiny put beloved
boat. : ......
. It has only a couple of feet of
freeboard and no engine. The
small cockpit, "like the Black Hole
of Calcutta," is cluttered with
tanks and gear, and there is bare
ly room to lie on the deck in a
huddled position.
"People think I am crazy and
that my boat is crazy," he laugh
ed, "but I know what I am doing."
The Mullers took three weeks
to make the short journey from
Falmouth, England, to Wexford,
in the 16-foot boat.
The Mullers escaped from Ger
many via Berlin, Hamburg, Hol
land, Belgium, and France, and
set sail for England. Despite the
hard times they have faced, they
ore determined to go on.
"We have met a lot of bad
weather and storms," Muller said
in broken English, "and twice I
have been thrown Into the water.
Long Voyage Ahead
"But I am quite sure my boat
will stand up to the seas. I expect
it will take me aboutr three
months to reach Brazil. From
there I shall go on to Argentina,
where I hope to settle and bring
my wife and son, who are still in
Germany.
"Land is cheap there, and I ex
pect to make good as a farmer,
with Aga to help me."
Aga told reporters that she was
not looking forward to the long
Atlantic voyage.
"I do not want to go on," she
said. "I should rather stay here
where people are so friendly and
generous, but Daddy is determin
ed to go, nnd in spite of my fear, I
shall stay with him."
The two have refused an offer
of a rent-free cottage in Wexford
for the winter, until more favor
able weather would tnake an At
lantic Irip less dangerous.
Wexford friends think the refu
gees may never reach their desti-

Republicans Hold Youth Edge
Over Democrats in Senate
. ' By Warren Duffee
(United 1'rew Stuff CorreHimmlcnt)
Washington UB The United
States senate is getting younger.
The..average age of the current
senate is o( years and about two
months, a United Press survey
shows,.
Two years ago the average was
just over 58.
Republicans are younger than
democrats in the present senale
with an average age of 56.5 to
57.5 for the democrats, 1
But although the current crop
is a shade younger on the aver
age, the age span from the oldest
to the youngest is one of the
senate's widest in history 51

Green, D., R.I., the oldest member
who is a spry 82, to Sen. Russell
B. Long, D., La., who was ai last
November 3.
Three Members Under 40
Long, son of Louisiana's late
Kingfish, Huey P. Long, was
elected to the senate Nov. 2, 1948,
one day before he reached his
30th birthday.
- The senate has three members
under 40 and only two over. 80.
Besides Long, the "youngsters"
include Sen. Hubert H. Humph
rey, D., Minn., who is 38, and Sen.
Joseph R. McCarthy, R., Wis., who
will be 40 Nov. 14.
Sen. Kenneth McKellar, D.,
Tenn., president pro tempore, is
second to Green in age at 80.
Close behind Long, Humphrey,
and McCarthy In the "youth" con
test are Sens. William E. Jenner,
R., Ind., and William F. Know

recently turned 41.
After Green and McKellar in

"Average" Sized Up
There's no such thing as .an
"average senator," but if there
were he'd be 57 years old and the
chances would be about one in

Also, the odds would be almost
one in four he was born in one of
five states Massachusetts, South
Dakota, Alabama, Iowa or West
Virginia. Those five are the birth
places of 22 of the 96 senators.
Like a lot of other people some
senators are coy about their ages
and don't list them in the Con
gressional Directory. Of the 96
incumbents, 11 left their ages out
of their most recent biographical
sketches in the directory.

' Seattle, Wash. IPi The Pacific
northwest has developed an idea
to give the Marshall plan a much
needed personal "good fellowship"
touch to the people of foreign na
tions. Mayor William F. Devin of Se
attle and 20 business, industrial
and civic leaders are currently on
a 32-day tour exchanging cultural
and social ideals with the people
of the Far East, Iiie Philippines
and Hawaii.
"Cold dollars alone cannot make
permanent friends," is the theme
of the tour. "A more adequate
plan must follow the Marshall ajd
program."
The idea of achieving closer un
derstanding and good will with
foreign countries by visiting them
personally as "world neighobrs"
was conceived by Sol G. Levy, a
wholesale food and drug distribu
tor in Seattle.
Levy proposed that foreign
tours be made annually with an
objective of establishing friend
ship and understanding rather
than hustling selfish business in.
terests.
"We are not going over there
with order blanks in our pockets,"
Levy explained.
He added that valuable business
contacts will be made, of course,
but that the tour's principal pur
pose is to bring about "better un
derstanding, . confidence and re
spect between us and our neigh
bors in the Far East."
The first overseas friendship
tour is sponsored by the world
trade division of the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce in co-operation
with the Pacific Northwest
Trade association.
A second tour next fa)l will take
a similar "fellowship" party to
England, Scotland, Scandinavia,
Holland,1 Belgium, France, Italy
and Switzerland.
Each member of the current
tour Is paying his own way. The
bill will be about $2,000 each.
Levy's instructions to the tra
velers are that each "apply him
self in his vocational field so that
he can give help in a practical
way to the commercial, education
al, medical and cultural objectives
