:Alaska warns
Gold Rushers
Fishwheel, Alaska, Oct. 26 (IP)
t- IK bush Dllot Kave a grim warn-
Lning today of the severe hard-
ships and possible tragedy aneaa
t unless gold-happy prospectors
swarming into this central Alas
Jka region take proper precau
tions to withstand the rigorous
Arctic weather.
J Jim Magoffin, owner and op
erator of Interior Airways, urg
ed today that all pilots bringing
L prospectors into the strike area
screen mem ior sumcieni neavy
-l41.1 u UU- 1 1 1 u.
i . CJUUUIlg, ucuuuijt anu luw uc-
I J -fore taking them away from the
M .nnniilntpri renters into the ooen.
' "The temperature here can
idrop to 20 below overnight,"
Magoffin asserted. "It it does
i there is terrible suffering in store
I for many of these fellows.
"There's not enough planes to
'get them out before they freeze,
Should the weather close down
at the same time there would be
no chance of even helping them."
It seemed today that the camp
; might be on the brink of discov
ering whether this latest gold
strike is in truth a potential bo
rnanza or another thin deposit of
color. With prospect holes be
ing dug over a wide area of riv
1 er bank, and panning continu-
Ing steadily, some definite con
clusions probably can be reach
ed in a few days.

; tee to determine whether or

anything else peace and the op-
s portunity to live normal lives.

Change in Pear
Export Rules
Washington, Oct. 26 Sec
retary Brannan of the agricul
ture department has assured Pa
cific northwest members of con
gress that he will consider ap
peals from pear growers of the
area for a change in subsidy ex
port regulations.
The export subsidy regula
tions, under which the govern
ment pays half of the cost of
pears exported to cooperating
countries of Europe to aid in
reestablishing markets lost dur
ing the war, provide the pears
shall be No. 1 grade.
Pacific northwest growers
grade their fruit on state grades
of extra fancy and fancy instead
of the government grades of No
1 and No. 2.
The growers contend that the
fancy grade contains both U.S.
No. 1 and No. 2 grades and that
limiting the subsidy export to
U.S. No. 1 grade is not prac
ticable for the growers. They
asked that the order be liberal
ized so that the state fancy grade
may be exported under the or

Gales Baiter
British Coast
London, Oct. 26 "Pi Gales ap
proaching hurricane strength
battered the British and western
European coasts today.
At least five ships were hurled
ashore, English channel traffic
was brought to a standstill and
the big liner Queen Elizabeth
was slowed to half speed as gusts
whipped up to 80 miles an hour.
Five seamen were reported
lost along France's Brittany and
Normandy coasts. The French
Port of Le Havre was closed.
The American liner Washing
ton was forced to remain outside
and Britain's new Caronia was
unable to leave.
Ashore, British and French
Coastal towns were flooded. Tor
rental rains added to the havoc.
Flood tides washed away part
of the centuries-old foundations
of historic Sandgate castle in
southeast England. The water
in Sandgate's main street was
two feet deep.
Chennault
Back in China
Washington, Oct. 26 (U.B
Maj. Gen. Claire L. Chennault
wartime leader of the Flying
Tigers, has quietly returned to
China, it was learned here to
day.
Chennault, who has been in
Washington since last spring
waging a losing fight for more
American aid to the nationalist
cause, left three weeks ' ago.
First word of his whereabouts
came to a Chungking broadcast,
monitored here.
The broadcast, by the official
nationalist radio, announced his
arrival in Chungking, and hint
ed that he was on a political
mission "probably related to fu
ture American aid." Congress
recently voted President Tru
man $75,000,000 for discretion
ary aid to far eastern non-communists.
High U.S. officials said they
had no knowledge of the pur
pose of Chennault's trip. They
doubted that it concerned fur
ther American aid.
Chennault intimated to the
United Press last June that
whether U.S. aid was forthcom
ing or not, he would return to
China to aid Chiang Kai-Shek
in his fight against the commun
ists. Crippled Watchman

Food Index
Shows Increase
New York, Oct. 26 "Pt The
Dun Si Bradstreet wholesale
food index abruptly reversed its
decline of the past six weeks to
day and rose 14 cents in the
biggest jump in 15 months.
The spurt boosted the index to
$5.72, wiping out half the de
cline which had cut the food fig
ure from $5.85 on Sept. 13 to
$5.57 on Oct. 11. The index
made a small improvement last
week, but not sufficient to signi
fy an end to the declining trend.
Last week's gain measured '.in
ly one cent, boosting the index
to $5.58.
Today's increase was the larg
est since July 13, 1948, when a
gain of 24 cents to $7.36 was re
corded.
Dun & Bradstreet said that 13
of the 31 foods used in compil
ing its index rose this week xnd
only seven declined. The index
is the sum total of the price per
pound of foods in general use.
Sharp increases in the past i
week in coffee and steer prices
were largely responsible for the
rise.
The 15 foods whose price In
creased last week were flour,
wheat, rye, oats, beef, bellies,
lard, sugar, coffee, cottonseed
oil, cocoa, potatoes, steers, lambs
and butter.
The seven showing declines
were: Corn, barley, ham, beans,
peanuts, rice and hogs. The oth-
