(VP) It's winter in Upper Michigan.

Two inches of snow, th earliest fall on record, hit the Upper Peninsula Wednesday night, driven by winds which hit 60 miles an hour In gusts at the Ironwood airport. "It looked like the middle of December from the windows," reported Edwin Johnson, managing editor of the Ironwood Daily Globe. "Just like an average winter snowfall." The low temperature recorded here Wednesday night was 33 degrees. The snow disappeared fast this morning. Johnson said the earliest previous snowfall record he could find showed traces on Oct.

W. by Gale and Lightning Wednesday Picture on Picture Page Two sportsmen drowned off Sis ter Bay in Door county during the raging wind and rain storm Wednesday that caused widespread damage in the northeastern Wisconsin area. Lost in Green bay when their motorboat overturned were Ellis Osterberg, 51, of Sister Bay, and Michael J. Hardy, about 35, of Chicago. Anton Alartinsen, 62, also of Sister Bay, was rescued by three Sister Bay men in a power launch.

The tragedy happened early In the afternoon. The three men had been fishing about a mile and a half north of Sister Bay, and were about a quarter of a mile from shore when they raised a distress signaL lage of Biteley, at night The lower part of Waupaca county was ripped by a "roaring and terrifying' twister which killed six persons and injured at least three. Four of the victims, members of one family, were carried into a swamp a quarter of a mile from where the tornado engulfed them. Then some 45 minutes later I 4:30 p.m. (CST) and about 50 miles to the south a funnel-shap ed cloud hopped across a 15 mile path in Columbia county, killing a woman and injuring her three children by picking up their farm home and smashing it down 250 yards away.

Seven others were reported injured. A deputy sher iff said buildings were crushed like matchboxes." Skirts Small Towns Splintered barns, sheds, silos and homes lined the paths of the tornadoes in Wisconsin, but there could bes no accurate estimate of; the heavy loss. Nor was there a count of the numerous livestock killed. The whirling cloud col umns, which capped a day of gen eral rain and high winds in the state, fortunately skirted small towns in the egions. Howard Rasmussen, 35, his wife, Irene, and their children, Robert, 5, and Betty, 2, were cleaning chickens in their farm yard in the town of Waupaca when the tor nado roared down on them.

Their bodies were found in a swamp a quarter anile away. Rasmussen's father, William, 65, was in the basement. He was struck on the head by a timber as the house col lapsed around him. He died four hours later at a Waupaca hospital. The other Waupaca county vic tim was -Mrs.

Frances Melliet of the town of Lebanon. She and her two children were swept away when the tornado leveled their farm home. Mrs. Melliet was found dead in a field. The chil dren were in a nearby ditch, badly frightened but not seriously hurt.

Roared Like Freight Train' Mrs. Alfce McGuire, 32, was killed when the twister swooped down on her Columbia county farm home four miles west of Randolph. Her three children, ages 2, 3 and 4, were not seriously hurt. One viewer of the wrecked Mcouire nouse said it was re duced to "kindling wood."

Mr.

Truman said legislation along that line would help pre vent "improper conduct" and "un founded suspicions." In lengthy message, sent to the capital in the midst of a sen- ite inquiry- into charges of poli tical influence in government loans, the President said: "In operations as large as those sf our government today, with so much depending on official action In the congress and in the executive agencies, there are bound to be attempts by private citizens or ipecial interests groups to gain their ends by illegal or Improper means." Mr. Truman said he would favor Including "the principle that na tional party officials and employees be among those persons required to file annual state ments." Uovle Before Prober The President's own party chairman, William M. Boyle, was before the senate's Investigating subcommittee at the moment. Boyle acknowledged that he had accepted eight law cases involving government agencies with fees estimated at $158,500 while serving as "acting chairman" of the Democratic national committee. He heatedly disputed, however, suggestions by Republican senators that it was improper for him to do this.

Could Represent Anyone He said he was a practicing lawyer at that time and had a perfect right to represent any client before any government agency or in any court. "I never asked a favor from a government agency in my life," Boyle declared. The cases in question were prior to August, 1949, when Boyle, former Kansas City law-J yer, formally became the Democratic national chairman. The senators turned to these cases after hammering questions first about Boyle's statement that he sold his law practice in 1949 to Max Siskind, Washington lawyer, for $150,000. Boyle insisted the sale was entirely proper and swore he had never used his political power for personal profit.

Leaning across the table separating them in the crowded hearing room, Sen. McClellan (D-Ark) told Boyle nevertheless that the way the law accounts were transferred to Siskind, without any formal sales contract, "implies that there was an arrangement that you were to receive fees" in the guise of installment payments.

The British cabinet was reported to have reached this de cision after Prime Minister Attlee received a personal message from President Truman urging caution in the potentially explosive Iranian situation.

With the crisis over Iran's oil nationalization boiling to ominous proportions, the U. S. President appealed to the Iranian government to back down on its ultimatum, and told both Britain and Iran the United States is ready to help them to find a peaceful settlement. These developments came as Planes Support Eastern Attack U. N.

That, in substance, was the net result of a two-hour debate on the subject in the council chamber Wednesday evening. The occasion was a joint meeting of the council's public works committee and public protection and safety committee to discuss the problem. After the discussion had gotten nowhere. Councilman Frank Mo-tiff and Robert Busse, chairmen of the two committees, proposed a compromise. They suggested that 'a rnmmittep rnmnnspH nf thm- tion of Commerce, and industry served by trucks.

When they arrived, Martinsen twister and, as a result, many wit- was clinging to the overturned nesses said they could not see Osterberg and Hardy were subcommittee at the start of pub lie hearings on President Truman's nominationof Jessup to be a dele gate to the United Nations. Jessup, a top adviser to Secretary of State Acheson, was pres ent in the crowded hearing room as McCarthy began his testimony in opposition to senate confirma tion of his nomination Jessup, who sat in on the hearings, told reporters he is not "wor ried" by McCarthy testimony and is ready to testify himself "at the committee's convenience. It appeared doubtful that Mc Carthy would finish his testimony today. At the outset, McCarthy recalled his charge of last year that Jessup has "an unusual affinity for Com munist causes." That is why he feels Jessup is "unfit to serve," McCarthy told the subcommittee. Sin 'Officially Cited" McCarthy said his exhibits showed Jessup had been associat ed with six organizations "officially cited" as Communist fronts.

McCarthy listed first the Na tional Emergency Council for Democratic He said his copy of a letterhead of that organization showed Jessup named as a member of "the board of sponsors" as of Feb. 15, 1940. Sen. Fulbright (D-Ark) noted that sponsors listed on the letterhead also showed the name of Professor Paul Douglas, whom Fulbright identified as now the U. S.

senator from Illinois. Fulbright asked whether Mc Carthy regarded Douglas as a member of the Communist-front organization by the same token he was labeling Jessup as one. McCarthy replied he did not know what Douglas' beliefs were at the time, but that "some good people always are found Listed on such letterheads. Not on Six Fronts "But you won't find Professor Paul Douglas on six Communist fronts, he declared Membership in several Com munist fronts, McCarthy said, would mean that the individual either so naive that he was dangerous, or loyal to the Com munist cause." McCarthy was the first witness as the subcommittee started pub lie hearings on the Jessup appoint ment. In advance of the session, McCarthy told reporters the material he was presenting to the group "should persuade the senate to refuse to confirm Jessup." McCarthy's 28-page compilation of exhibits contained some copies of documents he has presented before in criticism of Jessup.

He also drew heavily from testimony which has been given by various witnesses who have appeared this year before the senate's internal security subcommittee. Among other things, McCarthy produced copies of letterheads which he said demonstrated that JessujD at one time or another had some association with: Six Are Listed The National Emergency Council for Democratic Rights, the American Russian institute, the Coordinating Committee to Lift the (Spanish) Embargo, the American Law Students' association, the China Aid council (through Mrs. Jessup), and the American Council of the Institute of Pacific Relations. All of those organizations, McCarthy said, have been cited as Communist fronts either by the attorney general or by federal or state legislative committees. On the issue of Communist-fronts, Jessup told a senate committee last year: "I have never knowingly supported or promoted any movement or organization which I knew had as its objective the furtherance of Communist objectives." Other Exhibits Offered Among McCarthy's other exhibits were: I.

Both tornadoes swept out of the new draft regulations which make childless married men eligible for military service. The presidential action also makes other changes in selective service rules in keeping with the draft law passed by congress last June. They range from including some aliens in the draft to lower ing the volunteer age limit. Of major effect, however, is the permission to draft childless married men, a change selective serv ice officials believe will make 500,000 men formerly deferred eligible for duty.

Brig. Gen. Louis Renfrow, acting director of selec tive service, said about 200,000 of this total may be drafted. Draft Board Guidance Rules The new rules are for the guid ance of local draft boards. Selective service has said a few of them already have been reclassifying childless married men.

(The first group of childless married men from Brown county has already received orders from the local selective Service office to report for pre-induction phy sical examinations at Milwaukee, Oct. 16. Close to 80 per cent of the 111 men scheduled to take the physical examinations will be married men without children.) Men affected would be those within the draft age bracket, 1814 to 26 years old. To prevent last-minute claims for deferment "based only on the registrant's opinion that his wife recently has become pregnant, the new law clearly defines -child." Under the amended law, "child" means an infant from date of conception. A man may obtain deferment only if his doctor says a child has been conceived before the draftee is ordered to report for induction.

New Regulations Listed The new regulations for first time also: 1. Make aliens living perma nently in the United States liable for the draft. They are exempt only if they are citizens of one of the 20 countries having military exemption treaties with the U. or if they are diplomatic person nel Under the old law, aliens could not be drafted unless they had taken out first citizenship pa pers. 2.

The Iranian army was alerted.

President Truman's, reply came today and was rushed to 10 Downing street, where Attlee was meeting with his cabinet on the delicate issue of whether to send British troops to protect its oil men in Iran. Three-Hour Meeting The cabinet meeting lasted about three hours. G. H.

He said the missing Beard would be charged with maintaining a health menace and public nuisance. Beard applied to the Bureau of Vital Statistics on Tuesday for permits to bury the five bodies. Cortese said he means to find out why Beard had not made an attempt to bury the bodies earlier. All but one of the five bodies were claimed by relatives or friends but whether the claimants or the county had contracted with Beard for burial could not be determined. The coroner's office said all the men died as indigents and of natural causes.

Beard's license was revoked when he did not have a licensed undertaker as supervisor of his business at all times as required by the board of undertakers and by state and city health laws.

Meanwhile, police sought the owner of the establishment, William Beard, whose license as a funeral director was revoked Aug. 15 by the Pennsylvania state board of undertakers. Police forced their way into the locked and shuttered former funeral home Wednesday.

There, they reported, they found the bodies of five men in the basement workrooms of the three-story building. All were decomposed beyond recognition, the investigators added.
