The ex cuse for it is that when one can't get facts one has to guess and in Moscow FACTS are concelaed by a fabulously rigid and efficient censorship. K. C. Thaler of the United Press says in a dispatch from London this morning that the "wily and iron-nerved .Nikita Kruschev" has won another bloodless coup that signifies a return to virtually un restrained one-man dictatorship in the Soviet Union. He reports that diplomatic sources in London think he has won a victory over Marshal Zhu kov that puts Kruschev back into Stalin's shoes as the SUPREME POWER in the Kremlin which means the supreme power in Russia. He adds: "These beliefs were further borne out by Kruschev's own state ment yesterday described by dip lomats as "arrogant" that he could now offer Zhukov a new job "in line with his experience and qualifications. That is to say I assuming that these guesses are accurate i Krus chev can say to Zhukov: "OK, Bud; you know now WHO'S BOSS. Since you know who is the boss. I'll give you some jobs to do that will save your face." There is another interesting dis patch on the wires as this is writ tenalso guesswork. It reads: "Russia is believed to be ready NOW to let the Middle East war scare die a natural death. Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko made an unusually mild reply yesterday to the United States attack in the United Nations . . . and Krus chev said in Moscow last night that "the compass seems to have swung toward peace in the Mid dle East." What does that mean? Well, it MIGHT mean that the war scare in the Middle East (which consisted largely of rough and MENACING talk by Russial was blown up deliberately by Kruschev to distract attention, in Russia and elsewhere, away from his proposed bludgeoning of Zhu kov. That, of course, is pure guess work, but it seems to make a certain amount of sense. If Russia continues to roar more gently in the Middle East and, if it appears that Zhukov HAS been broken and destroyed as an opponent of Krus chev it will make more sense. There is another interesting little tale on the wires this morning. A Paris newspaper says an EX PERIMENTAL Soviet earth satel lite disintegrated over France on August 19 of this year. The news paper story say tire-satellite was photographed by a French camera designed to record stray meteors. French astronomers say the ex perimental Sputnik exploded be cause it was launched improperly and began traveling through friction-producing air. The report, if true, upsets the Russian claim that the current Sputnik was launched successfully ON THE FIRST TRY. It suggests also that the whole Sputnik enter prise might have been cooked up as a distraction to take world at tention, including RUSSIAN atten tion, away from Kruschev's scheme to get Zhukov out of his way. Scientist Says Study Needed WASHINGTON Itf-An Ameri can scientist says in effect that his colleagues must get up early in the morning or stay up later at night to beat the Russians in some fields. Dr. Philip Abclson referred specifically to what he said was a Russian superiority in the study of earthquakes. "Part of the answer is that our research people generally work from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.," the Car negie Institution scientist told a symposium on Russian science last night. "The good Russian records were made at 3 a.m." He explained that the crucial problem in detecting a distant earthquake disturbance is to min imize the background noise such as thei rumbling of trucks and other man-made ruckus which would be picked up by sensitive seismographs. Then he added: "The Russians have made a great effort to discover quiet sites and have studied the effects of time of day, weather and season (on lowering the background noise I." . "Thus." he said, "they have been able to achieve a vastly su perior sensitivity of detection of distant disturbances amounting to as much as 50 decibels 'units of sound) more than our best per formances." At the same symposium, sever al other scientists appraised known Soviet research in other branches of the physical sciences, and most of their comments were commendatory. Abclson mentioned also geo physics earth science and said that in the Arctic. Russia's geophysical studies exceed the Americans. , Ml'SHROOMS FATAL TO FOUR BERNAY. France 'UP Four of a family's five children have died and the parents have been made critically ill from eating poisonous mushrooms, authorities said today.

Price Five Cents 18 Pages AF Tanker Plane Crash Fatal To 16 FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. UP All 16 men aboard apparently were killed when a four-engincd Air Force tanker smashed into a steep and remote northern Ari zona mountain yesterday. The only authorities to reach the charred wreckage reported ! finding eight bodies and no sign lot life. A thorough search for ad ditional remains was begun today. I The Air Force said the plane. ;a KCi!7 on a routine flight from Walker AFB, N.M.. was carrying 16 men but did not identity them. The tanker plowed into the sheer side of Gray Mountain, about 40 miles cast of the Grand Canyon site where 128 persons died in the crash of two airliners in July 1350. An explosion was heard shortly alter the plane was reported seen flying low over a nearby trading post. Reporter Bill Denver of the Flagstaff Arizona Daily Sun, who reached the loot of the bluff shortly before darkness halted rescue operations, said a wide area around the wreckage waj burned off. The peak of the mountain, an ash-eovercd dead volcano, rises about 7.000 feet above sea level and 1,000 feet above surrounding terrain. The plane hit about half way up. Sheriff Cecil Richardson of Co conino County said the tragedy annarpnllv nnrrnH hnlufinn Q and Q- ,m h,.i ii miriafi. i crnoon before the wreckage was sighted. Mrs. Vivian Stanlill, operator of nearby Gray Mountain Trading Post on the Navajo Indian Reser vation, said she saw a big plane flying very close to the ground shortly after 9 o'clock. Harry Sin ger, who lives 10 miles west of Gray Mountain, said he also saw the plane and, a few minutes later, heard an explosion. Visibility at the time was given as 10 to 15 miles, and a heavy fog covered the ground in the area. Singer went to the scene, saw the wreckage and drove to Tuba City. Ariz., to report the crash. Two Tuba city p o li c e m"e"n climbed the bluff and signaled that they were unable to find any survivors. They said they saw eight bodies. Food Prices Gain Reported vfw vnri!.'

The Republicans also refused to permit the rules to be suspended to allow immediate consideration of two other bills. One would appropriate J75.000 for expenses ol the special session, now in its third day. The other would make, a correction in the corporation excise tax law. Rep. Clarence Barton D, Co- 'quillc, chairman of the House Taxation Committee, said he had enough votes to assure that the House would pass the Income tax reduction bill Thursday. II then would go to the evenly divided Senate, where Republi cans have strong hopes of winning approval of their position that in come taxes should be cut 25 per cent. The Senate Republicans are hopeful that they can win the support of two Democrats in the upper house. They are Sens. Harry D. ' Boivin. Klamath Falls, and Ben Musa, The Dalles. Both hove indicated that they (avor a larger reduction than Hint pro posed by the governor. In the House Taxation Commit tee, the Republican minority tried to amend the governor's bill so that the 25 per cent tax cut might be achieved. The vote aeainst suspending the rules was 34 to 22 in favor of suspending the rules, or six short of the required 40 votes. All 34 votes for the suspension were cast by Democrats, while 20 Republi cans and two Democrats opposed it. The Senate passed and sent to the House a hill to repeal the law under which the state could levy a 8-mill slate property tax whenever other revenues fall short of the state needs. Sen. Monroe Sweetlnnd D, Milwau kie, cast the only vole against it. A similar hill was passed 26-3 by the Senate in the regular ses sion, but the Democrats buried it in the House Taxation Committee. The state has not had to levy a property tax since 1940. The Ways and Means Committee voted 12-1 against a move lo boost the basic school fund to $120, and then approved the $105 figure recommended by the governor. However. Republican members of the committee made clear that they might not support the bill on the floor. Bills were introduced in each house Wednesday to have the state lake over the five-million-dollar annual school property tax levy. This would afford direct property tax relief. It is part of the Repub lican program. About 75 per cent of the five-million-dnllar annual basic school fund increase, as contained in the governors bill,, would be used for properly rax relief. i ,m,,u r iu n ui- ...Mue" ' ,he Republican oppo- silion to suspending Ihe House rules results from the fact that the Democratic House Rules Com mittee has refused to permit con sideration of 10 Republican tax bills.
