Search For Three Lost Boys Abandoned By JOHN R1DDICK The Santa Rita Mountains peeled back their snow yesterday to reveal one sign of the ordeal through which three lost Tucson Boy Scouts passed, but today the huge'search was virtually over. Ten men including forest rangers, ranchers, and sheriff's deputies were still hunting. But the two battalions from Ft. Huachuca have gone home. "They can't do any more," said Pima County Sheriff James stayed on rescue scene til list week.

At the height of the operation Saturday and Sunday, 700 men --mostly from the fort--climbed through the canyons of the Santa Ritas in final, vain search for Mike Early, IS, Michael La- Noue, 13. tntf David Greenberg, 12. The trio was lost and presumably died, when trapped by the sudden snowstorm that swept down on the nine days ago. Yesterday afternoon, a group of soldiers led by Ray Kunde of Patagonia found high in the mountain evidence of what was almost certainly heartbreaking effort of the lost boys to fight the storm that hit them a week ago Saturday night. Near a trail that cut a switchback in the aspen trees below Old Baldy, the searchers found the remains of an attempt to start a fire.

It had not been successful. In the midst of pine needles and twigs mat had refused to burn in the first stages of the storm, were found scorched bits of Kleenex and a matchbook with a few unused matches. "You could see where they had put a little rock the tissue paper to hold it down in the wind," said Mike Knagge, Santa Cruz rancher who came upon the scene too. "I kidded my son about taking that Kleenex with him," David Greenberg said when the report of the find came to rescue headquarters. What had the boys done after their frustrated effort to build a fire? There were no other Jeads.

But searchers today felt that somewhere in snow drifts, perhaps within a half mile of the site, the bodies of the boys would be found. During the eight days of'the search, rescuers made their way as best they could over around 35,000 acres of some of the roughest country in Arizona, Forest Service District Ranger Lester Jackson who gave his services all week, estimated. But although the men did the best they could, rescue leaders agreed it was just impossible to cover every snow drift. Even with one of the largest searches ever undertaken in this area, many acres of snow in the mountains were still unbroken bv human or horse feet. The 16th and 72nd Battalions from Ft.

Huachuca as well as a group of volunteers from Davis-Monthan AFB a through the mountain as systematically as they could. Ranchers who led the soldiers came back to headquarters last night with praise for their efforts. Some had climbed for 13 straight hours. Sheriff's deputy Guy Hill, who directed the operation, expected the bodies would be found when the snow melted more.

Nixon, Rockefeller Reach Agreement "WASHINGTON--M--Vice President Nixon and Nel- a son Rockefeller apparently have reached an understanding to avoid stepping on each other's political toes until 1960. A weekend conference here between the vice president and the Republican governor- elect of New York produced an informal agreement pointed publicly at cooperation between them in rebuilding the GOP from its heavy election defeats this year. Rockefeller endorsed a thesis Nixon first advanced in October that the party will be best served if it develops a number of men of national stature as- possible presidential nominees for 1960.

While Nixon makes no secret that he wants that nomination, Rockefeller said he is interested only in doing a good job as gov- dent Eisenhower, pointedly omitted Nixon's name and included Rockefeller's in a personal listing of possible candidates for the 1960 GOP In response to a question, Rockefeller said it seemed so obvious Nixon's name belongs on any list of prospects "that it hardly needs my comment to reassure him." SEN. A GOLDWATER (R-Ariz), who won re-election this month in the face of a national Democratic sweep, said yesterday Nixon is "my candidate" now for ernor of New York. Asked if this idential nomination. wasn the best way to run for president, he only grinned. Goldwater said in a Rockefeller's statement that he intends to confine his activities to New York was taken as assurance he will not personally interfere in the spade work Nixon's supporters are engaged in elsewhere.

Nixon, on the other hand, obviously is not going to intrude in New York, where Rockefeller is expected to have control of the largest of the state delegations to the convention two years from now. IT ALSO SEEMS implicit in the understanding between the two men that Rockefeller wili not lend his support to any stop-Nixon move such as Harold E. Stassen is trying to get off the ground. Stassen, a former aide to Presi- Electrical District Killed West Holds Russia Responsible For Puppets radio-TV interview that Rockefeller should receive consideration in 1960 if he does a good job as governor and, as Goldwater put it, doesn't "take up the radical cry of the Democrats." Nixon and Rockefeller, who have met frequently for years, are portrayed by their associates as good friends with a healthy respect for each other's political abilities. Neither is likely to be trapped into any derogatory statement about the other at this time.

It will be relatively easy for them to maintain their understanding for the next year. But 1 some think the story may be dif! ferent when 1960 rolls around.

establish the power district. It would have included thousands of acres on both sides of Nogales Highway from the Hughes Co. plant south to the Santa Cruz- County Five reasons were cited by the board in denying the request of 61 petitioners, all landowners in the area, for an election. One of the main reasons was BERLIN UPI The United States emphasized today that the Western powers are in Berlin to stay, and warned Russia that the Kremlin will be held responsible for the activities of its German puppets. U.

S. political adviser Findley Burns set forth the U. S. stand in a note to Soviet headquarters here protesting yesterday's attempt by Red to kidnap television cameraman from Berlin's American sector. The note stressed the rigTit of the Western powers to free movement to and from this Communist- surrounded city.

The Soviet Press and radio suddenly dropped the subject of Berlin over the weekend, after the expected Russian "liquidation" of four-power rights in the divided city failed to develop. Communist organs in Red Berlin continued attacks on the Western powers, but the Red radio in Berlin has been silent ince noon Saturday, when it got the word that the Kremlin's surrender of power had been postponed. Some Western diplomats believe the Russians were daunted by clear American- policy statements that, interference with the routes over which allied garrisons in Berlin are supplied would not be tolerated. Newspapers here and in West- Germany clamored for high-level of I Western visits to West Berlin today with a unanimity suggesting that Stocks Take Worst Fall In Year NEW The stock market took its worst fall in ft year today in a tremendous burst of selling.

Nixon--who begins a four-day visit to London tomorrow--Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and the foreign ministers of Britain and France.

But in Washington Secretary of State John Foster Dulles ruled out a Big Three meeting on Berlin today pending further moves by the Soviet Union. Dulles, from a week at his Duck Island, Lake Ontario, vacation retreat, told newsmen he is certain any Soviet attempt to agreements among the Big Three Allies or West Germany on this point. Sen. Hubert M. Humphrey (D- Minn) who flew in from Geneva yesterday, assured the people of West Berlin that they can count on the support of the United States in any ordeal that may lie ahead.

"There is complete unity among the U. S. people on the question of defending the freedom of your city," he told a news conference. "We are allies and friends and we Intend to stay that way--make no mistake about it."

Elephant Does Headstand On Attendant To Kill Him PORT ARTHUR, evil-tempered elephant named Dorothy today threw a circus attendant to the ground and performed a headstand on his face and chest, killing Slain by the performing animal was James Donald Lloyd, 28, whose last address was given on a driver's license as South Bend, Ind. The elephant belonged to the Hagen Bros. Circus, which bills itself as America's second largest, with three rings.

Deputy Marshal Martin Carey, who investigated, said the attack appeared unprovoked. He quoted other employes as saying the elephant injured at least 11 other persons previously. Carey said Lloyd and another circus employe were walking past the female when she lashed out at Lloyd with her trunk and knocked him to the ground. She then butted him with her head several times and attempted one headstand but failed. The headstand was one of her chores in the circus.

But she kept him pinned to the ground and a second attempt at a headstand was were badly Attendants drove her back with beatings and shouts, but Lloyd's head and chest already were badly crushed. He died in at noon, about an hour 'after the attack. The circus was setting up for a one-day stand at Groves, a suburb of Port Arthur. The circus was sponsored by the Groves Chamber of Commerce. Deadline Near For American By Associated Press With the Thanksgiving travel rush about to start, a second major airline was struck today.

Flight engineers and machinists walked off their jobs at Eastern Airlines. Trans World Airlines had 200 planes grounded in the fourth day of a strike by 6,700 machinists. American Airlines faced a strike threat by its pilots, with'a prospect of "an operational shutdown after a walkout deadline at midnight Tuesday. THE STRIKE of 600 flight engineers at Eastern Airlines was supported by unions representing some 7,000 other employes. Eastern announced suspension of all top negotiators to the airline's Kansas City headquarters to seek a settlement.

CAPITAL AIRLINES resumed partial service after ending a 37- day strike by 2,600 machinists. Normal passenger traffic was expected to be resumed Wednesday. Capital machinists accepted a 41-cent-an-hour flights in 25 states, Canada, Puerto 41-cent-an-hour increase over a I tnree-year period bringing their top Rico, Mexico and Bermuda. Machinists, who refused to cross picket lines, advised the company they were on strike, too. In particular, the strike at Eastern hit the heavy seasonal migration of winter vacationers to Florida.

The engineers object to pay to $2.95 an hour. A TWA spokesman said the company's final wage offer was almost the same as accepted by machinists of Capital and Northwest Airlines. The union's last contract with TWA provided for wages ranging from $1.45 an hour for kitchen helpers to $2.61 for machinists with 13 years experience. 1 W114111b7bhJ J.J jrVbUhl 1WJ.1W^-. an airline demand that they take) At Indianapo iSi 33 stewardesses pilot training.

Nearby, but not watching, was Parky's wife, the former actress forted by' her son, Clifford, 18. Einstein leaves three other sons, including the novelist, Charles Einstein. Parky was born in Boston and started out as a newspaper reporter and later advertising man there. He was a master of dialects and made an immediate hit as a- comedian when he appeared as a guest on the Eddie Cantor show in the early 1930s. Following years as a guest on other leading shows he got a program of his own.

He retired from radio several years ago and limited his performances to night clubs, personal appearances and such affairs as last night's. Other comics rated him as one of the funniest in the business especially at such celebrity-kidding af- i fairs as testimonial dinners. Following his appearance last iight.

After calling for a doctor, Berle asked the audience if anyone had any nitro-glycerin pills, used by persons with heart conditions. More than a dozen men came forward with such pilis.

The Machinists Union, in dispute with three smaller air line companies, reached a tentative agreement early today on a new contract with West Coast Airlines. A union spokesman said the contract was subject to ratification of the 86 mechanics who struck the airline four days ago.

The company serves 41 ciiies in Washington, Oregon and Idaho. The union has authorized a strike against Pacific Airlines, which operates in California and Nevada but no date was set.

And American Airlines is threatened with a strike tomorrow. A total of 100 local workers would be affected. Both TWA and American Airlines, the only two major lines operating out of Tucson, were continuing to take reservations, however, in hopes the TWA strike would be settled and the American Airlines strike wouldn't start. TWA is taking reservations for 72 hours in advance and American said it would continue scheduling and flights until "prevented from doing so by the pilots." Meanwhile Frontier Airlines is flying passengers to Phoenix and Denver, where they may continue trips by Western or Continental airlines. Apache Airlines, another small Tucson feeder line, reported record boardings to Phoenix..
