in Proposed Fight Truman's Aide Sought Change In Ration Edict Senate Investigators Hear Testimony From 2 Unnamed Officials Washington (JP) Senatorial sources said today that Maf. Gen. Harry H. Vaughan once gave an Agriculture Department official "particular hell" about a grain rationing order after alcoholic beverage makers reportedly complained about the edict. Senate five percenter investigators already have been that Vaughan, who is President Truman's Army aide, inter.

The account of intervention by Vaughan in the grain rationing case came separately from two officials who did not want to be identified. Their stores are substantially the same. Influence Checked Apart from those sourcss.

Senator Mundt R-SD told newsmen he has heard reports about the matter. He said he plans to ask for an investigation by the special Senate subcommittee conducting the five percenter inquiry. Mundt is a member of the sioup, which is checking cn whether improper influence has figured in the handling of government business. On a related matter. Mundt said he has no idea who Senator McCarthy R-Wis was talking about when he said yesterday that Hie committee is setting unsolicited adverse information about Angry Housewife And Son Break Up Dice Game in LA Los Angeles (IP) An angry housewife complaining about her husband's gambling losses shot up a neighborhood dice game last night, police reported.

Her son joined in the fracas. Both were arrested. Det. Sgt. C.

W. Barber said this is what happened: Vance Cushman, 41, and some friends were having a little game in Fred Barnett's upholstery shop. Mrs. Cushman and her son, William, 19, appeared at the place. She said, "I want the $200 my husband lost," and when Bar-nett said he didn't have it she took a gun from a bandanna handerkerchief and fired two wild shots.

Her son belabored Barnett with a rubber mallet and a tpray gun.

Barnett was hospitalized with face and head lacerations. Finnish Unions Given Ultimatum Locals Are Ordered To Cancel Strikes Helsinki, Finland t.Vi Finland's Central Trade Union Federation has acted against the Communist-led unions' growing offensive.

It ordered them to cancel their strike call or face expulsion. The move which threatened to split the federation wide open, came on the of a government crackdown on the nationwide strike offensive which already has caused bloodshed. By a vote of eight to five, the federation's Executive committee decided to order four striking unions to call off their walkouts before Aug. 23 or get out of the federation. Red Party Protests The move was directed against the dockers: food workers, building construction workers, and the forestry workers' and loggers' union.

The federation made it clear that the textile, leather, shoe, and rubber workers union, who also haye scheduled strikes, would be kicked out if the strike calls are not canceled. Meanwhile, the Finnish Communist Party called on President Juho Paasikivi to denounce Thursday's police action against striking lumberjacks at the northern Village of Kemi. Claim Treaty Violated A letter to Paasikivi Maimed the clash was the first in the history of the Finnish labor movement in which police on government orders had used firearms against unarmed strikers. The Communists claimed the arrests of strike leaders constituted a violation of the constitution and of the peace treaty with Russia. The Popular Democrats, who differ from the Communists in name only, also sent a letter to the President.

Jail Clerk Is Fired for Acts In Engle Case Chicago (A) The chief clerk of Cook County Jail was fired yesterday. Anthony A. Boccio's dismissal for "general inefficiency" followed financial snenanigans by Sismund Engel. the jailed Romeo. Engel is awaiting trial on charges of bilking a widow out of her life savings.

Recently the elderly confidence man was found to have had $7,400 sewed in his under-drawers. Chester L. Fordney. warden of the jail, said Boccio was fired for letting Engel withdraw sums above those allowed by jail rules from the money now being held by authorities. Fordney said that Engel had withdrawn $50 once and then another $65.

All withdrawals over $8 must have written authorization, Fordney said. In the two cases it was not given. Previously Det. Peter Harlib was suspended in connection with the Engel case, and Police Capt. Timothy Lyne was transferred.

Our Town The Central Wisconsin State Fair Association, whifti will held its 47th annual exposition at the beginning Sept. 4. was formed here Jan. 22, 1903. SIGNIFICANT in the history of several Marshfield families and of general interest to all pioneers of the Northwest is the date Aug.

18, 1862, when the risine under Little Crow began with the massacre of! white settlers in the vicinity of New Ulm. Minn. For many years the writer, for personal had been seeking details concern-, ing this tragic episode in the Na- tions development, in whicn, nearly 1.000 innocent men. worn- en and children paid the price for flagrant violations of the treaties of Traverse des Sioux and Mendota on the part of gov- ernment officials and employes. Just a year ago we realized our desire to visit New Ulm.

and during our all-too-brief stay discovered in the Public Library in- formation whicn seemea what we had been looking for, and which we verified this week by a visit to the State Historical Library in Madison. Two books in the reference, section of the New Ulm Library were of particular value to us one by Charles S. Bryant A. M. and A-bl Murch, dated Cincinnati, Ohio.

Nov. 25. 1863, and published in 1872: the other by the Rev. Alexander Berghold, dated Santa Rosa, Calif-Easter Monday, 1891. The older and more comprehensive work, including 504 pages, was based mainly on official reports and testimony given at hearings before the Sioux Commission.

Father Berghold. a priest at New Ulm for many years before going to the West Coast, interviewed many of the survivors listed by Bryant and Murch, and in his narrative, "The Indians' Revenge," corrected many of the faulty spellings of names found in the official records. We were able to borrow a copy of this book from the State Library, through the Marshfield Free Library, but were told that he other, because of its age, could be used only in the reference rooms at Madison. Fortunately an even-older edition 18G4 was made available to us through trie courtesy of Mrs. Hampton Lee Aust of Dallas.

Texas, the former Maurine Kamps of Marshfield. who collects old and rare editions as a hobby. At TsTfMv TTlm we also learned that a Marshfield man. William F. Witt station agent for tne Omaha line of the North Western, is a direct descendant of one of the victims of the Aug.

18 massacre. His father. Joseph Witt, who died Sept. 17. 1945.

in New Ulm. at the age of 87, was one of the few children in that reg on who escaned harm on that memorable day. when the mother was killed while the father was at work soma distance from the house. A family tradition that the father buried his wife's bdv before taking th3 child to a place of safety is verified in the Brvant Murch records, although the surname is spelled according to the German pronunciation, and the given name is listed as William instead of Carl. Many such discrepancies have been noted, but by checking with other known facts identities have been established.

On page 112 of the records we read: In the neighborhood of La Croix Creek, or Birch Coolie, Peter Pereau. Fred- erick Closen, Piguar. Andrew Bahlke. Henry Keart-ner. old Mr.

Closen. and Mrs. William Vitt, and several others whose names we could not learn, were killed. The wife and child of a Mr. Cardenelle were taken pris oners, as were also the wife and children of Fred- erick Closen.

William Vitt came into Fort Ridgely, but not until he had with his i own hands, and all alone, performed the last sad rites of sepulture for his murdered wife and had also buried Mr. Piguar." The local man's grandfather married again and lived in Scott County, near Belle Plain, where Joseph grew to manhocd and where he lived for a time after his marriage to Elizabeth Fisch-enicht. William was born Oct. 6, 1891, at Belle Plain and accompanied his parents several years later to New Ulm. in which city his father conducted a general merchandise business.

In 1908 after having been a clerk In his father's store, he began his railroad career when he entered the employ of the Chicago, St. Paul.

Chicago l.T) New York, Chi cago, and other Midwest and eastern cities experienced rec ord low temperatures today. A widespread mass of cool air pushed the mercury to 56 degrees at New York, the coolest Aug. 20 reading on record and only 10 days after a record three-day August heat wave. From Aug. 9 to 11, New York had consecutive daily highs of 97.6, 98.7 and 98 1.

Today's low shattered the previous minimum record for the date 56.6, set in 1856. 32 In Michigan At Pittsburgh, the early morning low mark of 57 degrees was the coolest for this date since 1896. At Chicago, the mercury dipped to 55 degrees, the coolest, Aug. 20 in Weather Bureau records. The previous low for the date was 55.7 degrees in 1897.

As far SDUth as Gcshen, the temperature dropped to 45 degrees. Cadillac, had a lew of 32, and readings in the middle and low 30s were fairly general throughout Northern Wisconsin and interior points of Upper Michigan. Moving Eastward The cool air, which extended as far south as the Ohio River, was moving eastward and was expected to reach the Atlantic Seaboard today. Elsewhere over the Nation temperatures were within nor mal or near normal ranges with skies mostly clear to partly cloudy. The only rainfall was a narrow band of showers from Virginia and North Carolina westward to southern and cen tral Missouri and eastern Kansas.

Ruins of Roman Town Discovered in Water Trieste, Free Territory JP) The ruins of an ancient Roman town have been discovered under shallow waters in the northeastern end of the Adriatic, dispatches from Aquileia said today. An Italian scientific expedition was reported to have made the find in the lagoon between Aquileia and Marano. The ruins were said to be part of the town of Bibione. which was a-bandoned in the sixth century and then submerged. Today's Chuckle "You wrote cut a policy on a 92-year, old gasped the insurance branch manager.

"Sure," replied the new and elated salesman, "our statistics show that few men die after 92." Pharmagraph ft 1 tm I New York JP) Radio and television broadcasters girded today for a finish fight to save their profitable giveaway programs from the "gullotine of the Federal Communications Commission. At stake is their jackpot in sales of broadcast time running to many times the estimated or more a year dished out to lucky listeners. Industry observers predicted the American Broadcasting Co. would have plenty of company in its announced plan for a court fight against the FCC order issued yesterday to become effective Oct. 1.

While the FCC order did not flatly ban giveaways, its new rules are so stringent it appeared they would silence such shows as "Stop the Music," "Sing It Again" and "Hollywood Calling." These involve telephone calls to listeners who are required to give the correct answer to a question, clues to which have been given on the pro-grani. Regarded As Lottery 'The FCC said it would regard as a radio lottery a program involving prizes "dependent in whole or in part upon lot or chance," requiring the contestant to contribute something of value, or requiring that he be listening to or viewing the program. The rules also limited the manner in which telephone calls could be used in connection with prize programs. A spokesman for the Mutual Broadcasting System said the rules did not appear to affect the network's big giveaway "Queen for a Day" or other prize shows in which prizes go only to persons present at the broadcast. The National Broadcasting Co.

and Columbia Broadcasting System withheld comment while top officials scrutinized the new rules to determine whether to fight them, or what could be done to save affected shows if the rules stick. Bone of Contention The radio giveaway has been a bone of contention for months. The FCC has not been alone in trying to stem the tide of giant jackpots awarded for answering a question, identifying a voice, or giving the name of a mystery tune. Radio performers have been a-mcng the most vocal critics. They See RADIO Page 10 State Gets 27 More Giant Grouse Milwaukee (A) Twenty-seven additional capercaillie, full of blue berries and feeling better after a rough air trip from Sweden, winged their way to the Apostle Islands today on the last leg of their trip.

The giant European grouse, sur vivors of a shipment of 28, are due to join the pioneer half-dozen which arrived on 10.000-acre outer island of the Lake Superior group three weeks ago. George Halezon, wildlife manag- er lor tne Wisconsin conservation Department, said the first six have adjusted themselves well to their new surroundings and he thought the new birds wouli be all right, too. The capercaillie spent the night at Billy Mitchel Field where Halezon fed and watered them. They perked up after the blueberries, he said, and were in good shape to day when taken aboard a Navy PBY for the trip to the islands. The big birds, pen-reared in Sweden, ar being established here in an effort to find new exotics to help take the pressure off native game birds.

Swedes Say Red Strike In Finland Badly Timed Stockholm (IP) Swedish observers generally said today the Communist labor uprisings in Finland are doomed to failure because of bad timing. Experts here who are in touch with Finnish developments said privately the Communists began their offensive too late. They said there was little likelihood that Russia would openly come to the rescue of the Finnish Communists in striving for their apparent ultimate goal of making Finland a "people's democracy" on the Soviet pattern. Finland is in the unique position of having the only anti-Communist government on Russia's western doorstep. Authorities called the arrest the first high point in an international crack-down on a huge smuggling syndicate which has plied a cocaine trade between the U.

S. and Peru. American, Peruvian, and U. N. authorities joined in a 2-year drive to smash the ring, said to have used narcotics profits to arm insurgents in Peru in an attempt to seize control of the country.

Political Intrigue The story of political intrigue and plotting, tied in with large-scale drug traffic, was unfolded with the seizure yesterday of the alleged ringleader, EdUardo Bala-rezo, 48, of Great North River, Long Island. He is a naturalized U. S. citizen of Peruvian descent. More than 80 persons, some of them prominent business men, have been arrested in Peru, authorities said, and 50 or 60 operatives in this country are believed connected with the ring.

Assistant U. S. Atty. Joseph P. Martin said the syndicate apparently tried recently to expand operations to Italy through efforts to contact Charles Luciano, exiled one-time vice king.

Balarezo was arrested aboard the liner La Guardia, which runs between New York and Italian ports. He was held in $100,000 bail on a charge of conspiracy to smuggle cocaine from Peru. Capt. Alfonso Mier Teran, of the Peruvian department of investigation who has been here for two months to aid in the hunt, said Balarezo was a source of arms in the Aprista Party uprising in Peru last October. The captain said Balarezo was taken from here to Peru on a Peruvian warship in March, 1948, as a guest of Victor Haya de la Toree, chief of the now outlawed Aprista Party.

Revolution Failed Balarezo allegedly tooK with him $60,000 in cash and a quantity of munitions, for use by the Aprista Party in its uprising. If the plot succeeded, he was to be rewarded with the post of chief of Peruvian customs, Mier said. However, the revolution failed. Haya de la Toree is a political refugee. Balarezo fled by air to the U.

S. Martin said the smuggling traffic became so heavy last year that the U. S. suspended all imports of cocaine from Peru, but later a-greed to import a limited amount of raw cocoa leaves after the Peruvian U. N.

delegation said the embargo threatened one of its chief exports. Martin said clampdown on the cocaine traffic resulted in Balarezo going to sea last May as steward aboard the La Guardia. His primary purpose, Martin said, was to extend his market in cocaine to Italy and in return to import heroin from Italy to the U. S. Iron Lung Is Used for First Time Friday The iron lung at St.

Joseph's Hospital here was placed in use for the first time yesterday, when Donald Buchanan, 13, son of Mr.i and Mrs. Floyd Buchanan, Curtiss. was placed in the apparatus for a period of an hour. The Buchanan youth was not placed in the lung as an emergency measure but only in order that he could sleep without the use of sedatives. The youth is placed in the apparatus several times each day and he is able to gain the needed rest while the lung does his breathing for him.

The lung was brought here from the equipment pool of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis at Boston, shortly after the isolation ward was opened here. There were no further polio cases dismissed from the hospital today, according to Dr. F. A. Boeck-man, city health physician, nor were any new cases admitted.

As Your Every Need Arites Use News-Herald Classifieds Ancient Ritual Used to Drive Out Evil Spirits Catholic Newspaper Says Boy No Longer Sees Weird Visions Washington- UP) The ancient ritual for driving out evil spirits is credited by a Catholic newspaper with ending' the re ported "diabolical possession" of a 14-year-old Mount Ranier, boy. Reports of strange manifesta tions bothering the boy had been made public previously by the Society of Para-Psychology. It said a Protestant minister interested by the youth's family had witnessed a number of weird phenomena while trying to sleep in the same room with him.

In one instance, the society reported, a pallet on which the boy was sleeping slid across the floor and under a bed. In another, it said, a heavy armchair in which the boy was sitting with his knees drawn under his chin tilted slowly to one side and fell over. Receives Instructions The Catholic Review, weekiy newspaper of the archdiocese, says the boy has been exorcised successfully by a priest after entering the Catholic Church. The Review says the priest involved refused to discuss the case in any way. It gives this summary of what happened: "A Catholic priest was called upon for help.

When the boy expressed a desire to enter the church, with the consent of his parents, he received religious in struction. Later the priest bap tized him and then successfully performed the ritual of exorcism. The parents of the afflicted boy are non-Catholics." The Washington Post says th ritual performed by an unidentified Jesuit priest, both here and in St. Louis. It adds that the priest stayed with the boy for two months, accompanying him back and forth on the train.

Boy Now Qutet The Post's account continues: "Repeatedly, each time the rit ual was performed, the final violent reaction would come from the boy when the words were spoken, 'I cast thee out' a re action of profanity and screaming and the astounding use of Latin phrases, the priest was re ported as saying. "In one manifestation, the boy reported that he had seen a vi sion of St. Michael casting out the devil. at the last perform ance of the ritual (last May), the boy was quiet. Since it was reported, all manifestations have ceased." The ritual of exorcism consists of saying of Mass, special prayers, psalm singing and the sprinkling of holy water.

Dolls Held by U. S. Inspectors Pittsburgh (JPi More than a hundred dolls destined for needy children in Europe have been impounded here by U. S. customs inspectors.

The government wants duty paid on the toys. The dolls were contributed by children of St. Catharines, Ont. to a Dolls-for-Europe campaign conducted by townsfolk of Somerset. Pa.

i U. S. customs inspector Nicho las A. Forster said the dolls are held in the Pittsburgh cutoms warehouse and will be placed in storage unless they are claimed by 5 o'clock tomorrow night. In Somerset.

H. B. i 1 publisher of the Somerset Amer ican, said the government had reneged on a promise to let the dolls enter the country duty-free. "We can't afford to pay the duty on them. Reiley declared "This isn't a commercial prop osition.

I don't understand why they suddenly decide they re quire duty." Reiley's daughter, Peggy. 29 year-old newspaper girl, foster ed the idea of collecting the dolls She took some toys with her on a trip to Europe last year. Canton is the capital as well as ine temporary haven of the government. (Philippine consular officials arriving at Manila from Amoy said that big port on the southeast coast appeared about to fall to the Communists. Amoy is the best port left to the Nationalists.) 12 Miles From Lanchow Bad news for the Nationalists also came from the far northwest.

An official dispatch said the Communists had pressed to a point only 12 miles southeast of Lanchow before beinff thrown back. Lanchow is the capital of Kansu Province and a Nationalist stronghold. Travelers from that remote region said most Nationalist troops had pulled out of the Lanchow area. There was a feeling prevalent in Canton that the loss of Lanchow might be only a matter of days. Nationalist Victory The Nationalists asserted that they had scored a victory on the front due north of Canton.

Official dispatches said the Communists suffered 8,000 casualties and 1,000 Red soldiers were captured in fighting around Shao-yang, which guards the western approach to Hengyang, 265 miles to the north. (While the casualties may be exaggerated, it appeared that the Nationalists were standing firm west of Hengyang. Shao-yang guards the route of retreat into southwest china of Gen.Pai Chung-hsi, commander in south central China.) Meanwhile, the Foreign Office speeded the packing of crates for the expected flight-to a new capital at Chungking in the west. More Americans were leaving and the U. S.

consulate general was closed. Railroad Fair Officials Irked At Al Jolson Chicago (A) If they had a doghouse at the Chicago Railroad Fair, Al Jolson would be in it today. Fair officials said the 63 -year-old singer had a' date to appear on the program yesterday but failed to show up. The day had been advertised as "Al Jolson Day." Jclson said it was news to him. "I didn't know a thing about it," the singer said from his hotel room.

"His office knew about it and he was aware of the engagement before he left New York for Chicago," retaliated Jack Reilly, director of special events at the fair. Jclson arrived here yesterday. "You say kids were disappointed? You know I wouldn't let a kid down," said Jolson. just didn't know anything about it." Fair officials sent a special car to pick up Jolson at his Ambassador Hctel suite. He was scheduled to be a luncheon guest of Major Lenox R.

Rohr, fair president, and then be made an Indian chief. The chauffeur later informed Reilly he was told that Jolson was in the hands of a masseur and couldn't keep his luncheon appointment. "He'll appear for the 2 p. m. show," the chauffeur was told.

But Jolson didn't show up at 2 o'clock or at any other hour. Irked, Reilly dispatched a letter to the singer. "You will be pleased to know." he wrote "that we did apologize to 6.000 people assembled for the 2 p. m. show of 'Wheels A-Rolling' and informed them that if any of them were in attendance because of the fact that they had been told Al Jolson would take part ini the show, we would be glad to make a refund of their admission price.

"No one claimed a refund," Reilly's letter concluded. U. S. Embassy Closed Canton (P) The United States embassy, closing in the face of the Communist advance on Canton, ended its existence today without fuss or ceremony. Third Secretary Bruce Lancaster today locked the door of the deserted embassy building on Shameen Island.

With him were Secretary Gerald Stryker and Clerk John Finnegan. Two hours later they took off from White Cloud Airdrome for Hcng Kong. Vaushan's activities from sources "very close to the President and to Vaughan in the White Hou.se." Committee Counsel William P. Rogers declared: "I have no comment to make on any of these reports." In the grain rationing episode, Vaughan in 1946 or 1947 reportedly asked Clinton P. Anderson, then Secretary of Agriculture, whether any change was contemplated in the federal order which restricted the amount of era in which could be used for making alcoholic beverages.

Anderson, now a U. S. Senator from New Mexico, is understood to have said no change was indicated at that time. Caller Protests Subsequently, however, the rationing order was made more stringent. An official familiar with the incident gave this account of what followed: 'T understand that Vaughan not a call from Milwaukee, from someone representine the brewery interests there.

The rail is supoosed to have come from Harry Hoffman. (Vauorhan last week named Harry Hoffman. Milwaukee advertising man. as one of the donors of the seven home freezers presented to him in 1945). "Vaughan's caller protested a-bout the change in the rationing order.

Vaughan (hen tried to phone Anderson, but he was out of town. So Vaushan lalked to Nate Koenig. Koenig then was executive assistant to Anderson.
