Grim Work of Raisins Plane Near (Continued from Page One) proved. A coast Guard patrol boat from the South Haven, station came upon the gruesome evidence Mast night after a long search of the lake by fleets of planes and boats.

The Coast Guardsmen found a part of a woman's skull, part of a man's back, and a piece of human stomach flesh.

The discoveries were made 12 miles northwest of here and six to eight miles off shore. At that point the lake is 110 feet deep. Chief Boatswain's Mate Frank Rydlewicz, commander of the South Haven Guard Station, said he was certain the findings were from the lost plane.

Diplomats Asked To Cooperate WASHINGTON, June 28 Gen. Omar Bradley said today the present state of world affairs requires the closest possible cooperation between the nation's military men and its diplomats.

'In peace," Bradley said, "the diplomat would be the principal spokesman for the American people In foreign affairs. In war, the soldier's advice is sought and heeded as we defend our nation. "But today, in this half peace, half war, neither the soldier nor the diplomat alone can lead the American people in a wise course of international action. Both voices must be heard if American policy is to be realistic and effective." In a speech which he prepared delivery at the graduation exercises of the National War College, Bradley said that while new weapons pose a determent to aggression 'they also place in the hands of any enemy the quick trigger of foreign policy." He added: "Some nations can commit themselves in a matter of seconds." Bradley's speech, written last week, made no mention of the Communist attack on South Korea. But hammered at the theme that the democratic world is confronted by 'an aggressive ideology which places its political faith and author- ty in the hands of military force." "If our ideals of democracy could challenge Communism in words alone," he said, "or in diplomatic negotiation, or even in economic and political contest, I know that he abundance of our way of life, and the Christian ideals behind it, would win out.

One of Chiang Kal Shek's ad vlsers suggested to him last night that he make the offer. Ai far ai la known, Chiang has not acted. A trustworthy source said the adviser recommended that Chiang offer two fully equipped divisions, fifteen to twenty planes and what ever ships could be spared from Formosa's meager fleet Sources In close touch with Chiang said he favors aid to Korea but it Is not clear whether he has individual aid in mind or simply taking part in any joint interns tlonal move It. support of the invaded country.

Political quarters doubt he will make a solo move without first considering the chance of provoking Soviet Russia into some retaliatory action. Meantime all Nationalist military forces were on an around-the-clock alert against a possible Chinese Red invasion of Formosa. There still are no signs that the Reds are ready to make the attempt but they might attempt harassing air raids. There was a growing conviction that the Red InVaston of Korea will result in a change in the U. S.

policy of "Hands off Formosa." Indiana of Faces Stiff Competition (Continued from Page One) Roosevelt said these new indus- ries are scattered in all parts of the tate. The success stories of communities, whose drives for new industries bore fruit are countless, the ecretary said. He pointed, for example, to the establishment of a new $1,000,000 ndustry, the Butterick Company, in Altoona, through local ef- orts; establishment of a $3,500,000 plant by the Electric Auto-Lite Co. ilant at Hazleton, and a $2,500,000 plant built by the Bundy Tubing Company, at Hometown. He emphasized that these are only a few.

A massive drive also is now underway in Scranton to raise 2,000,000 to finance a factory- con- truction program to provide work or the city's unemployed. Similar drives already nave brought sev- ral new industries into that sec- ion. In addition, Roosevelt said Commerce Department files show more nan a hundred communities which an or have raised sums of money anging from $50,000 to almost a million to induce new industries.

Man Kills Self Gambling PITTSBURGH, June 5 )While his mother prepared supper in the same room, a 28-year-old war veteran fired a bullet into his head yesterday in a grim game of 'Russian Roulette." Regis Thompson died four hours later in Allegheny General Hospital Homicide Detective James Kelly said Thompson killed himself with a .38 caliber revolver he had taken from a holster on the wall of Three Hills American Legion Post. Kelly said the veteran took the gun into the kitchen of his home and fired one shot out the window.

Then he suddenly remarked: "Here's where we play Russian Roulette." A moment later a shot crashed through the kftchen and Thompson slumped to the table. Russian Roulette is played by inserting one shell into the cylinder of a revolver, spinning the cylinder and then pulling the trigger with the weapon held against the head.

(JP) swift compromise was expected today on a draft bill giving President Truman power to order men into uniform when Congress is out of town. Folowing Senate passage of a draft bill last week, some lawmakers had predicted that Senate- Souse conferees also would agree a two-year extension of the present Selective Service Law. However, the Communist invasion of South Korea prompted speculation that the conferees might now aim at getting the strongest draft machinery possible, in their efforts to write a single bill from differing measures passed by two chambers.

Approval of a two-year extension would involve one major concession 'rom each end of the capitol. The Sentate approved a three-year ex ension while the House voted to keep "trigger control" of any actual nduction of youths 19 through 25 the hands of Congress. At present, Selective Service Is being kept alive by a stopgap 15-day extension rushed thru Congress and signed by President Truman last Friday, a few hours before the 1948 not expired.

Probe Seeks Elaboration WASHINGTON, June 26 Senate investigators looked into thi Justice Department for an elabora tion today of FBI testimony report edly indicating that diplomat John S. Service passed military secrets to Philip Jaffee in the 1045 Amer asia case. The Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee investigating the Am erasia episode called Service to a third quiz session (9:30 a. m.

EST) in the hope of getting to the bottom of the military data aspect of the matter. Service has already said he never gave Jaffe any military information knowingly. He said he had no such information. The Committee scheduled the meeting toda behind closed doors but there was a possibility it woulc be opened to the public if the Justice Department decided to accede to a committee request. That request is for the full transcript of an FBI-recorded conversation in 1945 between Service, State Department career officer, and Jaffe, who was editor of the now-defunct Amerasia Magazine.

Justice Department officials met twice over the week-end to reconsider the agency's original rejection of the committee's bid for the complete transcript.
