7. (IP) Most senate Republicans teamed with Democrats from the south today to kill a move to make it easier to shut off filibusters. The roll call vote was 70 to 21. Republican leaders promised an effort later in the session to go part way 'with the opponents of unending talk. The anti-filibuster forces replied that defeat of the current move would epell doom for any changes at-all and for any civil rights legislation such as Fair Employment Practices (FEPC) or anti-lynching laws.

Thirty-seven homeward bound veterans, chosen by a grim chance of the alphabet, apparently flew to disaster early today after surviving the hazards of Korean battles and two ocean crossings. Missing with the men were the three crew members of the army chartered "Dixie Special" which disappeared withont a trace somewhere in rugged, storm swept country of Wyom-ing or southeastern Idaho. Their fate still was unknown at nightfall, as planes returned to Lowry air force base, with negative reports on searches hampered by foul weather.

The hunt will be resumed at daybreak. All of the passengers aboard the chartered C-46 were from the southeastern states and all shared an alphabetic similarity that put them aboard the same plane.

(XEA) TAA SPENDS ON OWN INITIATIVE Budget Not Yet Okeyed, But Disbursements Made at Airport Tucson Airport Authority, at loggerheads with the city over fi nances, is going ahead with expenditures from its budget although the city has withheld approval of the budget.

The two have been unable to agree on monthly payments which the city wishes to exact from the authority a city agency set up to administer the municipal airport. The city has asked the authority to pay $2,500 per month out of its receipts, having halved its original request for $5,000 per month. Not Yet Decided No agreement has been reached on any sum to be paid into the city general tuna. The $996,983 budget, for two years of operation, has been in the city council's hands more than 60 days. It was passed by the authority board of directors on Oct.

15. At a meeting yesterday, author ity directors said they are taking the position that, since the council -has not acted in 30 days from re ceipt of the budget, the authority must proceed as though the ex penditures have been approvea. Long-drawn Issue The issue is part of a continuing dispute about authority funds. Last week on Dec. 31, the last possible day for action the coun cil agreed to sponsor a request to the Civil Aeronautics Administration for $560,000 in federal funds for improvements at the airport.

At that time members of the council said no final step will be taken to obtain the federal funds until the airport group has guaranteed the sponsor's share of the improvement costs. The two-year budget includes $330,000 to match the expected federal grant. The money will be used in an extensive construction program, if the application is approved. No Agreement A discussion of the money the city wants the airport to pay fail ed last week of reaching any agreement. As to the budget approval, au thority directors said they would like to have the council action but pointed out that their working agreement provides for action within 30 days.

Neither Mavor Fred Emery nor City Mgr. Donald P. Wolfer was available for comment as to whether the budget would be approved. In another action at yesterday's (Continued on Page 10A, Col. 5) lation of that nature by simply) talking or threatening to talk until the.

sponsors gave up hope cf reaching a vote. A number of such bills have passed the house and been 'smothered in the senate. The proposal lost today and would have permitted 49 senators, a bare majority of the 96 members, to cu; off debate on an issue and bring to a vote. Under the present rule 22 of the senate, that requires two-thirds of the membership, or 64. Fourteen Democrats from the! group who call themselves "liberals" were joined by four Re- publicans and Senator Morse (Ind-Ore) who quit the Republican party in the presidential cam paign, as sponsors of the rules change plan.

Arizona's two senators, Hay den (D) and Goldwater (R) both voters to kill the move to shut off filibusters. The sponsoring Republicans were Senators Ives (NY), Tobey (NH), Duff (Pa) and Hendrick- son (NJ). On the roll call the sponsors picked up only two votes, both from new "senators Kuchel (R-Calif) and Symington (D-Mo). The vote demonstrated that despite the change in majority control of Congress the real power still rests with much the same coantion of Republicans and southern Democrats who have, called the shots in the senate tdf sorre years. The count was 41 Republicans and 29 Democrats against the change, with 15 Democrats, five Republicans and the lone independent, Morse of Oregon, on the losing side.

That accounted for 91 senators. A pair, Schoeppel (R.Kan.)

Telephone officals worked fast in tracing the call to the 300 block of Alameda de las Pulgas in Redwood City but even their haste proved futile. Firemen raced to the block, saw no sign of fire.

Then the telephone company pinned down the call at No. 330. Firemen broke in the door and found Mrs. Mary Harry, 45, dead from severe burns. Mrs.

Harry, trapped by a fire that had confined itself to the interior of the house, apparently was the woman who made the frantic call but forgot to give the address homes for release from service Their destination was Fort Jackson, S.C. The plane's radio was heard for the last time at about 4 a.m. The last official check-in was over Malad City, Idaho, about 50 miles from Wyoming and 400 from Cheyenne. Flying weather was "ex tremely bad" in that area. Snow began falling todayvovcr part of the region in which a large scale air search was launched.

Search headquarters was established at Hill air force base, Ogden, Utah. Air rescue planes were brought from as far away as McChord air force base, near Tacoma, about 800 miles. A snow storm of major proportions Mas forecast. There never has been any previous crash of any of the planes that have flown thousands of veteraaa homeward after their arrival in Seattle by ship from Korea and Japan. Troopships have returned 187 000 troops to Seattle from the Far East In the past two years of rotation plan operation, and large numbers of them have headed homeward by air regularly after each ship arrival.

Flares May Be Clue to Wreck MONTPELIER, Idaho, Jan. 7. (JP) A southeastern Idaho farmer and his wife reported they 'saw three red flares on the east side of Bear lake tonight, and a. jeep-mounted sheriff's posse left immediately to see if they might have been fired by persons aboard a missing transport plane. The plane, carrying 37 homeward bound Korean war veterans and a crew of three, vanished early today on a flight from Seattle to Fort Jackson, S.C.

It last reported over Malad, Idaho, some distance to the west. Jesse Scheidegger, of Paris, Idaho, on the west side of Bear Lake, and his wife told Bear Lake County Sheriff Gilbert P. Arnell they sighted the flares after dark on the east side of the lake near Bear Lake Hot Springs mountain. Sheriff Arnell and Mark Wilson of the Idaho highway patrol, headed the party of about 10 men in Jeeps. They left Montpelier at 9:45 p.m.

(MST). Bear Lake is between rugged m6untains at the point where Idaho, Wyoming and Utah join. The mountainous terrain east of the lake is sparsely inhabited. The spot where the flares were believed sighted is about 12 miles southeast of Montpelier. Appointment as City Magistrate Refused By Oliver Laubscher Oliver J.

Laubscher, Tucson attorney, is not accepting appoint ment as city magistrate, he said yesterday. Laubscher was named to the post last week to replace Paul J. Cella, who was named city prose cutor, a new in city courts. Both appointments were to take effect Feb. 1.

The fact that the magistrate' post is a full-time job led to Laubscher's turning it he said. Laubscher said he had talked with the mayor and city council- men prior to the appointment be ing made. He said that he thought the matter must have been settled since he was not called. He then read of his appointment in the paper and told the council Mon day that he could not accept. Laubscher.

Mayor Fred Emery said he has two or three others in mind as possible appointees and that Laubscher's appointment was made effective Feb. 1 to give him an opportunity to prepare to take over the court post.

7 A TT A II PITAOITTVT AS DEFENSE AID Educator Will Succeed Anna Rosenberg as Manpower Chief NEW YORK7jan77 (JP) President-elect Dwight D. Eisenhower today named John A. Hannah, president of Michigan State College, to replace Mrs. Anna Rosenberg as assistant secretary of defense in -charge of manpower and personnel. The 51-year-old educator, of East Lansing, is taking a leave of absence from the college to accept the appointment, it was announced by James C.

Hagerty, press secretary to the Presidentelect. Hannah, a Republican, will re ceive a salary of $15,000 a year in the post. His appointment was announced, Hagerty said, after Eisenhower conferred with Charles E. Wilson, who will be secretary of defense in the new administration. The educator had conferred with Eisenhower at the Presidentelect's hotel headquarters last week.

A native of Grand Rapids, Hannah received his bachelor of science degree from Michigan State College at East Lansing, in 1923 and he has been connected with that institution ever since. He became president of the col lege in 1941. Cleaned Out 7 BELIEVED DEAD IN SECOND CRASH SEATTLE, Jan. 7. (JP) A four-engined DC-4 plane identified by the state patrol as belonging to the Flying Tiger airline of Burbank, crashed and burned tonight at the foot of a mountain about 15 miles east of here.

It was believed to be a Flying Tiger DC-4 overdue at Boeing air field here with four crewmen, a woman and two children aboard. State Patrol Capt. O. C. Fur-seth reported from the scene that no bodies were thrown from the airplane when it crashed and the flames which engulfed it had not died down sufficiently to permit a search.

The announcement followed weeks of speculation and rumors regarding the appointment. Mathews is a Democrat who has been serving by appointment -of former Gov. Dan E. Garvey. He was named nearly three years ago iSbTSrShSTJr signed to accept appointment to the state highway commission.

Succeeds Knapp Jacome, a Republican, was appointed last year following the resignation of Cleon T. Knapp, who at that time was president of the board. Current president is Lynn M. Laney. Mathews is secretary.

The terms of both Mathews and Jacome expired at midnight last Sunday. Since state law does not provide that members of the board of regents, continue in office until their successors are named and qualify, both have been out of office since that time. Changes Sought Governor Pyle has been under constant pressure from numerous sources to make at least one change in the board. Some of the pressure came from Yuma county, which wanted representation, and some was based on partisan politics. Locally, the Pima County Republican Central committee went solidly for Jacome, but out of a meeting of 16 Republicans Mathews received the endorsement of 10.

The opposition to Mathews was led by two women, Mrs. Julliette C. Willis, member of the state legislature, who claimed he had done nothing for Republican party, and Mrs. H. Parsons, who ran Republican campaign headquarters during the last campaign.

Bilby Supported In addition, pressure was brought on the governor by friends of Ralph Bilby, Tucson attorney, to have him appointed. Bilby is a Republican wiio long has been active in the party. The appointments will not have to be submitted to the state senate for confirmation, as are most appointments. State law gives the governor complete jurisdiction over the appointments. Members of the board of regents are appointed for six-year terms.

General Ike, Winnie Have Final Meeting; No Details Released NEW YORK, Jan. 7 (JP) Old friends Dwight Eisenhower and Winston Churchill tonight held their third private conference in as many days an hour-and-a-half talk which ended without a. clue as to what was discussed. The discussion between the Brit ish prime minister and the U.1 S. President-elect- could hardly have failed, however, to include at least some of the mutual prob lems facing their, two countries.

It took place at the home of Financier Bernard Baruch, and was the last scheduled between them for the present. At its close, Churchill accompanied Eisenhow er to the door. An Eisenhower aide said before the meeting that no statement was expected Churchill leaves tomorrow, with a stopoff planned in wasningion Uor a visit with President Truman. administration of President-elect bade Godspeed in coping with the grave problems that lie ahead. With it he coupled this admonition: "We must stick to our guns and carry out our policies." In a farewell "State-of-the-Union" message to Congress, the President addressed himself directly to Stalin as he cautioned the Soviet premier that vast strides in the development of American atomic weapons and growing western military strength would doom Russia in tfie event of another great war.

Bluntly, the President told Stalin that war between the east and west would spell "ruin for your regime and your homeland." Such a war is not possible for rational men, he said. He de clared it could send western civil ization down to ruin along with Russia, Hinting that the development of, even more fearsome-weapons than the H-bomb may be in the offing, Truman told Congress: New Stage Entered Recently, in the thermonuclear rrlrAnAn Vtsm facte at ITniurA.

The President's mes sage was read aloud by clerks in both houses of Congress and broadcast by radio throughout the Less than a hundred of the 433 house members were on hand as George Maurer, the reading clerk, read the text of the long message. Many of the lawmakers paid no attention.

Some read newspapers. Others chatted. Truman devoted much of hfc message to the Soviet-posed threat of war and the terrible havoc that would epgulf the world if the Kremlin jpulls the trigger. "The Ivar of the future," he said, "would be one in which man could extinguish millions of lives at one 1 low, demolish the great cities of the world, wipe out the cultural achievements of the past and destroy the very structure of a civilization that has slowly and painfully been built up through hundreds of "Such a war is not a possible policy for rational men," the President continued. "We know this, but we dare not assume that others would not yield to the temptation science is now placing in their hands.

"With that in mind, there is something I would say to Stalin: You claim belief in Lenin's prophecy that one stage in the de velopment of Communist society would be war between your world and ours. "Bat Lenin was a pre-atomic man, who viewed society and history with pre-atomic eyes. Something profound has happened since he wrote. Wr has changed its 6hape and: its dimension. It can not now be a 'stage in the development of anything save ruin for your regime and yonr homeland." Truman said that if the rulers of the Kremlin begin to "under stand thev cannot win by war," and the western- world continues to build Its strength, then perhaps the Russians will more realistic and less implacable, and of Lifetime Then Robert got his first real assignment.

State Police Lieut Victor Clarke, pointing to the de- partment's identification expert, Lieut. Frank Chameroy, said: "Robert, you go with this policeman here and continue the investigation." Someone "I'll bet Commissioner (Edward Hickey will make you a state policeman." Robert didn't answer, but his fine, sharp, dark brown eyes danced, and his little jacket seemed hardly able to hold his swelling chest as he trudged off with Chameroy. It was the biggest moment cf a small lifetime began." But Truman cautioned this coun try against any let-down in the defense effort, and he declared: "If one thing is certain in our future, it is that more sacrifice still lies ahead." One thing the nation must beware of, he said, is fear "fear that breeds more fear, sapping our faith, corroding our liberties, turning citizen against citizen, "ally against ally." Without naming names, he said: Danger Signs Noted "Already the danger signals Jjave gone up. Already the corrosive process ihas. begun.

And every diminution of our tolerance, each new act of enforced conformity, each idle accusation, each demonstration of hysteria each new restrictive law is one more sign that we can lose the battle against fear." The 68-year-old President, wbo retires to nrivate life 13 days hence, broadlv reviewed the years since the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt elevated him to the White House and picked out the i following events as high-lighting his administration: I ww The ena oi worm vtar 11 the "great white flash of light that "opened the doorway to the atomic age-' me post-war economic boom the barriers "coming down" in matters fn voiving civil rigms war in Korea and the Marshall plan which he Mid is "changing the map of Europe in more hopeful ways than it has been changed for 500 years. He also noted the surge of na tionalism in Asia and Africa, and contended that "politically, economically, socially, tbings cannot and will not stay in their pre-war mold" in those areas. "Just in the years I have been x. 1 1 rresiuem, lie saiu, iwrive ions, with more than 600 million people, have become independent." Truman said he is returning to private life; "most gladly" after nearly -eight year3 in the' White House.

As for Eisenhower, he said: "The President-elect is about to take up the greatest burden, the most compelling responsibilities, given to any man. And with you and all Americans, wish for him all possible success in undertaking the tasks that will soon be his." The President said Eisenhower must "lead the whole free world in overcoming the Communist menace and all this nnder the shadow of the atomic bomb." Then, in a final valediction and a salute to the new Republican regime under General Eisenhower, Truman concluded: To him, to you. to all my fellow citizens, I say Godspeed. "May God bless our country and our cause."

Republican leaders viewed it as a report on dangerous failure. With only a few exceptions, reaction among Congress members indicated the President had hit a 'responsive chord with his warning to Stalin that nuclear weapons war will destroy aggressors. But the party line division showed up plainly in comment on more general aspects of the message. Senator Taft (R-Ohio) and Representative Halleck (R-Ind), respectively the GOP leaders in the senate and house, set forth perhaps the sharpest critical views. "In foreign policy we can all agree on the basic principle of opposition to Communist Russia," Taft said but added: Past Errors Noted "The actual operation of that policy has been so full of error, of wavering, of failure, as to leave the Eisenhower administration witn tne most dangerous foreign problem this country has ever faced." The Ohioan described the mes sage as a "review of the historic eight years" of Truman's admin istration.

"Naturally he mentions the good measures of that administration," Taft said, "and omits those features which led the people of the United States, in spite of apparent national prosperity, to repudiate overwhelmingly his administration." Halleck said the message "ig nored many of the pressing problems which constitute the nation's (Continued on Page 10A, 1) ACHESON CALLS CRITIWICKED Secretary Warns Abuse Of Department Lies Ahead Under Ike WASHINGTON, Jan. 7 JP) Secretary of State Acheson in a farewell speech to American diplo mats predicted today that "wicked, unfounded criticisms of the state department would continue under General Eisenhower's administration. "On my Judgment, once something really evil is let loose in the the world it can not be eradicated overnight without patience and effort," he said. Acheson lashed out at state department critics in a closed-door luncheon given in his honor by the state department's foreign service association. Witch Hunt Comparison He assailed critics, whom he did not identify, as "thoroughly wicked." Their campaign of abuse and witch hunts, he said, compare with what Italy experienced in the Middle Ages.

Although reporters were barred from the meeting attended by about 400 foreign service officers in the National Press club auditorium some of them were able to overhear his remarks. At first officials asked reporters not to publish the remarks but later, when it was learned an account had been carried bv a news ser vice, the request was withdrawn. In his speech, Acheson also: 1.
