It was expected to hit the state late Thursday, Hurricane warnings were displayed from Galveston to Pensacola.

(Pensacola Journal AP Wirephoto Map) Resolution Made the local firm. Francis Taylor, president of Warren Fish and E. J. Braswell, another official, said they would not be going to their office until Thursday morning so they wouldn't know who the other missing people were until that time. The vessel reported to the Coast Guard early Wednesday morning that it was disabled, and the i cutter Cahoone was sent to the scene.

The Keturah was taken in tow about 7 a.m. Wednesday, the Coast Guard said, and about 12 hours later the tow line broke. After an attempt to regain the tow line failed, the Keturah went; under sail in attempt to reach Gal- veston, while the Cahoone re- mained "as close as safety per- mitted." i About 10:40 p.m, the fishing vessel hit an oil rig' and apparently sank immediately. At press time, the Coast Guard was still conducting a search of the entire area for possible survivors.

I i Activity Increases WaltonCounty Board Recognizes Bishop Russian Subs Great Threat Burke Says iff, The Joint Congressional, subcommittee on fiscal policy turned thumbs down today on demands for easier credit; and early tax relief. It warned that either move would add to inflation, produce a sharp upsurge in the cost of living and threaten to bring on wage-price controls. The report by the Democratic-controlled group yanked the rug out from under a mounting drive by Senate Democrats to make a major political issue out of the government's "tight money" policy. SETBACK FOR DEMOCRATS It also was a setback for House Democratic leaders who hope to nush throush a tax cut early next year which would be retroactive to Jan. 1, 1958.

The report said there must be no major tax relief or relaxation of credit curbs during the new fiscal year starting Monday umess there Is a downturn in the econo my or unless the President spending budget is cut by 3 to 5 billion dollars. The five man subcommittee made clear it does not expect either at these conditions to develop. It said inflationary "upward pressures on prices" are continuing. Moreover, it said congressional ruts in monev bills hold "little i promise'' of any actual cutback in spending in the coming fiscal year. The subcommittee is headed by Rep.

Wilbur Mills (D-Ark), a key member of the House Ways Means Committee and a close adviser to Speaker Sam Rayburn (D-Tex) on tax policy. Mills is credited with helping to persuade Ravhnm to abandon earlier Dlans to launch a drive this year for a tax cut. Other members are Sens. Paul jH. Douglas (D-Ill), Joseph C.

Mahoney (D-Wyo), Barry uoid-water (R-Ariz) and Rep. Thomas Curtis (R-Mo). The subcommittee vigorously supported the Federal Reserve Roarri's monev" Dolicv. This put it on the side of Treasury Secretary George M. Humpnrey who went before the Senate Fi nance Committee earner this week to defend that policy against sharp Democratic attacks.

Noting that prices are edging up- tho subcommittee said "the basic problem is an inadequate level of savings out of current income." It said government policies should he aimed at encouraeme greater savings and curbing total spending.

"Winds and tides are rising along the upper Texas and Louisiana coasts.

"Hurricane warnings remain displayed along the entire Louisiana coast and the upper Texas roast as far south as High Island.

Storm warnings at Galveston. "Winds along (he Southeast Louisiana coast probably won't reach hurricane force but rough seas and high tides warrant the warning. Storm warnings were lowered between Pensacola and the eastern edge of Louisiana at 9:50 p.m. Wednesday as Hurricane Audrey shifted her sights to the west and began heading toward West Louisiana and Texas. Pensacola Weather Bureau pinpointed the storm at 235 miles south of Lake Charles, at that time and said the storm was moving in a northerly direction at the rate of 10 miles per hour.

Strongest winds were still re-, ported to be not more than 100 miles per hour near the center of the storm with gales extending from 150-250 miles east and north of the storm and 50 miles to the southwest. Pensacola weatherman Joe Pope said the city can expect continual rains beginning at midnight and lasting almost all day Thursday with winds not expected to exceed 30 miles per hour during the heaviest gales.

Russia also recently delivered three submarines to Egypt.

Burke said the delivery to Egypt constituted a threat to the 6th Fleet "but not a significant one." The graying, four-star admiral spoke with newsmen as the Salem, a heavy cruiser, plowed through the Tyrrhenian Sea south of Naples. A force with it included the supercarrier Forrestal, the carrier Lake Champlain, the cruiser Newport News and smaller units. Simultaneously with new Russian moves in the Mediterranean the 6th Fleet now is conducting exercise "Rosie Rosie" for a test of NATO defenses of Italy, Greece and Turkey. Burke dodged all questions on how many Russian submarines are in the Mediterranean. "If there are some I wouldn't be able to say so.

If I said there weren't any you wouldn't believe me," he commented. "I personally have not seen any." But, said, Burke, "Russian submarines are not to be taken lightly. Russia has built more of them in a year than we have since the war. They are a threat a great threat." He estimated Russia now has more than 450 submarines in service. Burke said he joined the 6th Fleet to watch the exercise and also "to discuss some knotty problems" with Adm.

Headless Body Ruled as Crabb Cause of Death Is Undetermined CHICHESTER, England, June 26 (UP)-A coroner ruled today that, a headless and handless body-found in Chichester harbor was that of Cmdr. Lionel (Buster) Crabb, British frogman who disappeared from Portsmouth while a Russian cruiser was anchored there in April, 1956. Coroner G.

F. L. Bridgman said the decomposed state of the body made it impossible to determine the cause of death and he would have to return an open verdict. He identified the body on the basis of physical characteristics and the frogman suit in which it was clothed. Crabb, 46, a World War II hero, registered in a Portsmouth hotel during the visit to Britain of Soviet leaders Nikita Khrushchev and Nikolai Bulganin.

The Russians later protested they saw a frogman swimming near the new-type Soviet cruiser Ordzhonikidze Crabb's disappearance gave rise to a series of unconfirmed reports that he was swimming around the (CONTINUED ON MO( 11 A) Braswell said the Keturah, about, SO feet long left Pensacola about May to fish for snapper.

June 26 (Special) A private flying sedan without propellers, jets or rotors, to be BPnerallv available within the next ten years at a price about that of present day fine automobiles is forecast by Popular Mechanics in an exclusive article in its July issue.

Already well under way but repealed publicly for the lirst time In the article is the development by Hiller Helicopter Company of a four-seater aerial automobile, based on Hiller's successful flying platform. Superficially this new machine will resemble an automobile, though it will rest on short stilts. In place of wheels are four so-called "ducted fans," the lifting mechanism of flying platforms. A ducted fan consists of a fan blade inside what appears to be a ventilator or duct, placed horizontal to the ground. When the fan blade forces air downward through the duct, an extraordinary amount of lift is obtained.

With four ducted fans mounted on horizontal framework, control and maneuverability will be greatly simplified. A simple push of a lever will make the sedan airborne. No thrashing rotor or churning propellers are needed for an almost noiseless and apparently effortless ascent. Pushing another lever drops the nose slightly, taking some power from the front ducts and causing the car to move forward. (CONTINUED ON PAGE U- 8 APT.

(resolution offered by Hewitt Lind- sey and seconded by Cortez Caden-head. Unanimously adopted by the board, it followed a long, and at times heated, discussion between board members and County Supt. Grey Wilson, who said he would refuse to sign Bishop's pay checks as supervisor without a court order. The meeting was not called by the superintendent as usual, but by Chairman Howard Griffith, under a provision which permits the chairman to call a meeting if a majority of the board are agreeable. Bishop was represented by J.

N. Daniel of Chiplev. A. G. Campbell attorney for the board, was also present.

The problem hinged on the point of whether Bishop, who has served as a supervisor in the county for the past two years, has tenure at that level. OFFERED JOBS The county trustees and the superintendent had recommended him for principal of the Glendale and, when he said that would not be acceptable, as a teacher at Walton High. Bishop contacted officials in the State Department of Education and in the Florida Education Association, who told him he apparently had tenure as a supervisor, and he thereupon refused the Walton assignment and contended he was rightfully one of the two supervisors. In the meantime the board had approved Miss Ruth Anderson, long-time Walton High teacher, for the supervisor's post. A similar situation has never been settled in Florida courts, and Bishop was told by FEA officials 'hat it had never been encountered in the school system in the state.

It was agreed that Bishop has (CONTINUED ON PAGE 11 A) Second in Week Burglars Steal $658 From Safe Rni win rft stole an estimated $658 in cash and checks from a safe at Parks Agency at Wi t. norrancno Ave sometime Tues day night or Wednesday morning, Sheriff Emmett unemy reponeu.

Czech Plague Alcoholism Flourishes Under Reds PRAGUE, June 26 (TV-Alcoholism, a plague to Czechoslovakia since the invention of the vinarna wine cellar flourishes under the Communist regime.

No statistics are available to compare the situation with pre-World War II but Lidova Demo- kracie, Prague Communist news paper, has come out with some surprising figures. It reported more than five billion crowns about 700 million dollars at the official rate were spent on alcohol in one year alone presumably 19o6. The paper conceded this was "unbelievably high." ''This amount is more than sav ings deposited in three years," Lidova Demokracie lamented, revealing that Communist government orders aimed at restricting the sale of alcohol are not being carried out. i These include, for example, a law prohibiting the sale to anyone under 18 years of age, the newspaper said. The Czech govern ment has tightened up on its policy to check the wave of alcoholism.

June 26 iift-A senior state engineer gave discouraging news today to home owners who awoke Tuesday to find their houses mysteriously changed In color. Lester Barrer, senior engineer for the Department of Public Health, explained the mystery this way after two of his chemists examined the homes with Rutherford health officials: A hydrogen sulfide solution in the atmosphere discolored the paint by creating lead sulfide from the lead base paint. Moreover, Barrer said, the brown blotches on the white homes will vanish only when the paint is removed or covered up.

This was bad news to the 200 homeowners here and in nearby Lyndhurst and North Arlington who had their houses discolored. Residents had reported an extensive fog settled over the area Monday night. xSl--'VX' 1 iA i 7 X.w Boy Weeps After Slaying Sentence CHICAGO Joseph Schwartz, 18, sobs beside his parents, Lillian and William Schwartz in federal court Wednesday after Chief Justice Wilbert Crowley sentenced the youth to 50 years in the penitentiary in the hammer-slaying of Alvin Palmer, 17-year-old Negro.
