Crane, piloting a new plane lacking both radio and landing lights through a severe rain storm, buzzed low over his home on Highland avenue last night. Crane, a former Army airman.

cut off his motor and zoomed. Then, with the new two seater plane he was flying from Dallas, Texas, he went through an assort ment of tricks in an attempt to attract attention. He hoped that his wife, Maxine, would hear and recognize he was in trouble. Mrs. Crane heard the plane and recognized the signs.

She quickly telephoned Illinois State Police and told officers her husband was searching for an air field. State Police racod to the Elgin Field, which is in process of development and is without landing lights. The officers rounded up 20 motorists and explained the plight of the flyer. A few minutes later, as the drivers locused their headlights and flooded the field with illumination, Crane landed safely. U.

S. Press Rapped Moscow, June 13, (JP) The gov ernment newspaper Izvestia said today that certain sections of the American press were becoming hysterical over the recent an nouncement that Argentina and the Soviet Union had agreed to establish diplomatic relations. Chances 'Good' (Continued From Pace 1) an agreement to be reached some time today. He told a reporter that he based his opinion on information re ceived from those close to the negotiators. Kelley added that he had been informed only one important issue the amount of monthly pay re mains to be settled.

This statement followed a brief morning hearing at which John Owens, secretary treasurer of the International Longshoremen As sociation, testified. Owens said that if CIO unions go on strike his AFL members will observe their picket lines and refuse to cross them. Disgruntled employers, shunted to the sidelines yesterday while Federal officials turned the heat on the unions, were invited back into today's sessions. But grim strike preparations went forward. CIO leaders reportedly were holding out for more Assistant Secretary of Labor John W.

Gibson said he "would not be that optimistic" when asked if he had something ready for both sides to sign. CIO Sec retary Lee Pressman said there were "plenty of knots" still to be untied. Meanwhile 200,000 union members girded for the crowding strike deadline. Scores of soup kitchens were set up, strike rallies were called, and seaports were scoured for living quarters for thousands of sea men "on the beach. The West Coast was due for a foretaste tonight.

Work stoppages were set late today in major cities to permit stevedores and seamen to attend mass, meetings. Some Labor Department offi cials expressed belief privately that most of the 62,000 AFL sea farers would be idle too, if the CIO's "united front" strike grips the Merchant Marine. Ship operators said the Gov ernment which owns most of the vessels they run had not filled them in on terms of the settle ment proposal. However, as pieced together from assorted per. sons close to the negotiations but lacking any official confirmation they appeared to include: A $17.50 monthly wage increase for seamen, with overtime to start after 48 hours instead of the present 56.

The work week would stay at 56 hours, A wage increase of 20 per less one cent an hour, for Pacific Coast longshoremen. This is what Federal fact finding board recommended last month, At a late at night session in the hotel room of CIO President Philip Murray, newsmen in the corridor could hear Gibson loudly exhorting the strik leaders to accept. Bridges Angry The reporters also identified the high pitched voice of Harry Bridges in seemingly angry reply When the session finally broke up Gibson shook his head nega tively in reply to the question, "Any settlement tonight It was understood that. Bridges wanted a. flat 20 per cent, pay boost for his longshoremen and that Bridges' militant co chairman of the ClO controlled com mittee for maritime unity, Joseph Curran, wanted a larger basic wage increase for the men who man the ships.

Government officials generally clung to their optimistic fore casts that the strike would be averted. The question was: At what price? Other irags were reported too One was said to concern the contract for radio operators. The Government assertedly wanted to proceed with fact finding, but the CIO American Communications Association wanted 3 settlement now. Weary but not dispirited, Gib son went into a midnight strategy huddle with Federal conciliators to lay plans for today's negotia tions the start of the third w.eek of day and night sessions here. Curran and Bridges similarly reported back to their fellow negotiators in closed conferences that lasted until almost 2 a.

m. They would not comment beyond the assertion that their committee for Maritime unity (CMU) "still hasn't had good faith collective bargaining." The committee represents seven unions allied for the first time on the Gulf, Atlantic and Pacific coasts and pledged to united action if the demands of all are not satisfied. Six are CIO, one independent. The position of the ship operators wds ambiguous. One thing was certain: For the moment, they were being consulted" but nothing more.

One union leader said he "doubted" that the employers would have any say in the settlement. "I think they'll have to take the package that's given to them," he told newsmen. House Unit Votes (Continued From Pare 1) co operation and to aid world peace. Without the loan, the proponents argued, Britain would be unable to participate in the Bretton Woods world bank and currency stabilization fund, and this ambitious attempt at international economic co operation would fail. This view was supported by the American Bankers' Association, United States Chamber of Commerce and a number of other organizations and individuals.

The opposition was spearheaded by Jesse Jones, Houston, Texas, publisher and former secretary of commerce. Jones wrote Banking Chairman Spence (D Ky.) that the' loan is "unbusinesslike," starts the United States on a road toward financial ruin, and would put this country in an exclusive alliance with Great Britain. Rep. Wolcott of Michigan, sen ior banking committee Republi can, told newsmen he voted for the financial agreement and would support it on the floor. His position ig expected to influence other Republican votes in the House.

S. Is Voted First Catholic Saint King Takes Plane (Continued From Page l) Royal House of Savoy in favor of a republic, JJmrrto's father, tired old King Vittorio Emanuele III, went into exile in Egypt on May 9, clearing the throne for his son for a month. The King and his party left the Palace in five, automobiles. A small crowd of about 50 Italians was at the airport. Many were soldiers and some shouted "long live the King" as the party drove onto the field.

Earlier in the week, bloody riots had erupted in Taranto and Rome, provoked by Umberto reluctance to quit the throne until the Supreme Court ruled on petitions charging fraud in the election that deposted him. The King wore a gray business suit and flannel hat and carried no topcoat. Not all the King's party boarded the plane. Some bade him farewell at the ship side. The plane headed northwest in the direction of Pisa, where the King's San Rossore estate is located.

It had been reported last night that he planned to go to Pisa to await developments. No clearance papers, generally re quired for trips foreign soil, were filed for the plane at the airDort. The cabinet had before it when it acted final Ministry of Interior election returns showing that even if every blank and invalid ballot went to the monarchy the repub' lie still would be the victor in re turns from the June 2 plebiscite. Vice Premier Pietro Nenni said the returns showed that 300 Italians voted, of whom 525,628 cast blank or invalid bal lots. Earlier" returns showed the monarchy had lost the plebiscite by nearly 2,000,000 votes.

Meanwhile, reports from indus trial Northern Italy said labor in that republican stronghold was becoming restive under the delay in completing the transition from monarchy to republic. A dispatch from Milan said workers in that city had been dissuaded from holding a city wide strike in an effort to hasten Umberto's relinquishment of his crown. The press published conflicting interpretations of the meaning of Italy's janus faced governmental setup looking forward to a republic and backward to a mon archy with monarchist papers declaring that the cabinet's action! solved nothing, and pro can papers terming it "the sovereign will of the people." De Gasperi was authorized to take over as provisional chief of the Italian state early today by a cabinet order which avoided any mention of the monarch's position. Umberto thus far has de clined to accept the result the recent plebiscite favoring estab lishment of a republic. Transport Minister i a 0 Lombardi suggested that the cab inet harrassed by bloody monarchist demonstrations in Rome, Naples, and Taranto had acted with the consent of Umberto, who, he said, would remain as nominal head of the state until the Supreme Court of Cassation rules on Monarchist, charges of irregularities in the June 2 ballot ing which ousted the House of Savoy.

The cabinet, meeting for the sixth time in two days, adopted the order of the day granting new powers to de Gasperi in re sponse to a letter from Umberto in which the monarch reaffirmed his intention to stand pat until the courts final decision. Neither the order nor the let ter hinted that the solution was compromise, intended to end violence and bloodshed, but ob servers expressed belief that sides intentionally omitted any mention of such a compromise as face saving measure. There was no indication as to whether Umberto actually had delegated any of his authority to "De Gas' peri. The conciliatory tone of Urn berto's letter to De Gasperi led some to believe that the king was prepared to relinquish the throne without further objection in event the court finds that the result of the plebiscite which gave the republic a winning margin of nearly 2,000,000 votes had not been vitiated by monarchist charges of voting irregularities. The letter expressed the King's intention of abiding by "the will of the Italian people expressed by the voting electors and confirmed by the definite judgment of the Supreme Court." De Gasperi was reported to have informed the cabinet prior (Continued From Page 1) one of the founders of the Order of the Sacred Heart, has been a foregone conclusion since the pub, lie pleading of her cause at a public consistory here February 21.

Rejected by one religious order, because she was too frail, Mother Cabrini founded her own, the Institute of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and established a school, a hospital or an, orphanage for each of the 67 years of her life.

Her first American project was an orphan' age and school jestablished in New York City the year of her arrival.

'The Geisha girls of Atami, a city southwest of here, were officially liberated yesterday, but today they found life much the same as usual. The government notified the Geisha house owners that the girls' debts to the houses total ing 660,000 yen ($44,000) were cancelled. The girls had run up the bills for various reasons and otherwise they would have to keep on work ing until they were paid. As the newspaper Yomiuri put it. "the bonds which had en chained those girls were immediately burned and reduced to ashes." Then the girls realized with this democratic boon from a government abolishing all manner of bondage they owed no further al legiance to the houses.

But that meant they had no jobs. They held a quick consultation, and voted to return to the same houses as their own bosses. to its action that he had received verbal assurance from Umberto that he would leave Rome until the final ruling by the court.

"It might have lasted three quarters of an hour.

I would not have received him (Sterker) unless Col. McDowell was with me." Then pointing to the indictment, he added, "this is not correct in the charge, or somebody is" trying to give toe wrong impression." He said he and McDowell met the Germans twice, because "it was arranged wrong the first time." A document read by the court said McDowell was accompanied by an American captain named Lalic. A reliable source said defense attorneys were planning to ask court permission to call McDowell as well as Col. William Bailey and a Col. Hudson, British liaison officers at Mihailovic's headquarters, as witnesses for the defendant.

Mihailovic testified yesterday that Bailey advised him to de stroy Tito's Partisan forces so the way would be clear for an Allied landing in Dalmatia. He has testified also that Hudson brought instructions from British Middle East headquarters at Cairo. American airmen rescued by Mihailovics forces may also be requested as defense witnesses. but at present this is not part of the defense plans. The govern ment previously had rejected a request of the American Govern ment that some American sol diers be allowed to testify.

Gen. Draja Mihailovic declared today that the late Milan Nedic, wartime puppet premier of Ger man occupied Yugoslavia, was "a man completely washed out mentally," but conceded that he held a conference with him in August, 1944. Mihailovic denied the prosecu tion's contention that the meeting resulted in a promise of arms for his troops in exchange for an agreement not to use those arms against the Germans "It (the meeting) was without any results," the Chetnik leader testified at the opening of the fourth day of his trial on charges of treason and collaboration. "It was an absolutely unnecessary meeting." The court read the record of Nedic's interrogation, before his prison suicide last February 4, in wnicn ne gave details of the al leged agreement. "I think all this which he says is only his imagination," Mihailo vic commented.

He said he sometimes got ma terial from Nedic when he sent men into Nedic units for short periods. "And then the men came back and we got material that way," he explained. When the day's session was less than two hours old it recessed to give Mihailovic a rest. When faced with a contradiction between the record of his prison interrogation and his present testimony, Mihailovic said, "there are moments with me when I am so tired I say yes when. I mean no.

Even now I can say yes." Question: "Are you tired now?" Answer: "No. I don't want to impede the trial." Nevertheless the president called a recess. But before the court recess Mihailovic insisted on the comment that Nedic was his "greatest enemy." "Once as a colonel he sentenced me to 30 days in jail," he said. Nedic was a general and Mi hailovic a career officer in the Royal Yugoslav army before the war. When court was resumed he was asked if he issued an order in January, 1944 for his units in the Visegrad Priboj sector of Bosnia and Croatia to join with Germans and Lejeticites (Quisling militia) in an attack on the "Second Proletarian Division." Proletarian Divisions were specially honored units of Marshal Tjto's Partisans.

Mihailovic said he did not re admitted his units did take part in the fight because "it was some thing I was forced to do. In this case I was attacked by the Partisans in an area that belonged to me and I had to defend myself." Later he observed that "when the Partisans did not attack me I fought against the occupier. "Have you any proof?" he was asked, Mihailovic reeled off a list of attacks against the Germans. Crowd Laughs There was laughter in the hall when Mihailovic said the Ger mans did not attack him "in 1944 because "it would not have paid them." The prosecutor exclaimed, "Now we have got it clear." "Why would they not benefit by it?" the prosecutor asked. "Because I was engaged in a struggle against partisans," Mihailovic said.

He explained that "they could wipe me out whenever they wanted." Asked about joint action of his Chetniks and the Bulgarians, Mihailovic replied: "I do not deny it. It happened by chance, in 1943 I carried out an attack against the Bulgarians in Pozega and against Ljeticites at Arilje. I was pursued by 20,000 Germans, and here the Partisans attacked from the flank against one of the territories I held and I had to fight." The court askad the defendant if one of his commanders, Pavle Djurisic, collaborated with the Germans in February, 1944, against Tito's Partisans. "I see it from the indictment and I believe it was so," he replied. Mihailovic said he issued an order for the execution of Chetniks who went into occupied towns because he feared the influence the Germans would have on them.

Britain Demands Proof of Charges London, June 13. (JP) The British foreign office said today a note had been delivered to the Yugoslav government challenging it to prove the allegations at Gen.

Hesseini Kha lidi, who formed the Higher Front; Emile Ghoun, and Ahmad Helmi Pasha, Jerusalem financier and a political independent. All four formerly were members of the Higher Committee. The Higher Front was formed June 3 by a faction which con tended that it was the of Palestine Arabs alone, and not the Arab League, to take the Jewish immigration question be fore the United Nations. (The whereabouts of the Grand Mufti remained a mystery today, In Paris, a source close to the foreign office said last night it had been determined officially that the Mufti left there for Cairo May 29 on a Trans World Air lines plane using a false passport. (A Reuters dispatch from Jeru salem quoted Dr.

Izzat Tannous, secretary of the Arab Higher Committee, as saying the Mufti is safe" and "probably is Syria." British officials in Damascus, however, denied reports the Mufti had arrived there by plane.) Trtt Arab Committee, closing its session here, also was reported to have approved the texts of letters to be sent to the United States and Britain rejecting the recommendations of the British American Inquiry Committee on Palestine, which advised immedi ate admission of 100,000 European Jews.

Such a report, Ross told his news conference, "is news to me, it is news to the President, and I haven't heard it discussed." Ross said Mr. Truman had no comment on the speech yesterday by Eritish Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin which strongly indicated British rejection of a recommendation by the Anglo American Commission for immigration of 100,000 Jews into Palestine this year. Diplomatic authorities said there appears to be no doubt that the big four foreign ministers meet ing opening Saturday will prove finally whether the great powers are capable of settling the Euro pean peace in, unity. Byrnes, along with Senators Connally (D Tex.) and Vanden berg (R was scheduled to leave National Airport about noon. His ace the hole is trying to persuade Molotov to come to agreement on such critical issues as the disposition of Trieste and settlement of Italian reparations is an announced determination to carry the whole controversy to the United Nations in September if it is not settled at Paris.

American officials frankly regard this as a desperate move, justified only by tne conviction here that conditions of peace must be at least partly restored in Europe by the end of this year. Byrnes himself is represented as feeling that the main stumbling block in the way of drafting peace treaties lor Italy and Germany former Balkan satellites is the Soviet American controversy over Trieste. Russia backs Jugoslavia's claims to the entire Venezia Giulia area, while the United States insists that Trieste, being over whelmingly Italian, must go to Italy. There is some hope here that a solution may be reached along the lines of British and French sug gestions for internationalizing the area under the United Nations. This hope is based on the belief that the disputants may regard a compromise as preferable to a complete deadlock.

Beyond the question of the treat ies are other proposals previously. put forward by Byrnes and by British Foreign Minister Bevin for various agreements on long range control of Germany and for the drafting of an Austrian peace treaty. Such hope for success as there is among Byrnes and his advisers is based on their belief that Rus sia, realizing the determination of the United States and Britain to get peace settlements one way or another, will make substantial concessions in order to maintain unity among the powers. 0PA Paves Way (Continued From Page 1) could hike its prices for a steak dinner if it had to pay more for the meat. The same would hold for an order of eggs or chicken or a glass of milk, if ceilings on these items are removed.

In calculating the amount of in crease, restaurants start with the actual cost of raw food exempt from ceilings and add to that their present percentage mark up. How much the cost of major food items might go up if ceilings were removed has been the subject of much controversy. Stabilization Director Chester Bowles has estimated that meat prices would jump 40 to 50 per cent. At present only a few food items come within the scope of the revised regulation. Ceilings on lobsters and most kinds of fish have been removed, for example.

This means menu prices may be based on the cost of these items. An OPA official who withheld use of his name said the new order provides "the only just way" of handling restaurant prices and at the same time "maintaining any semblance of control." Commenting on this and other changes in the price regulation covering public eating places, the National Restaurant Association said in a statement that the revisions "will not mean increased menu prices." However, a spokesman for the organization told a reported later that this view was based On present circumstances and did not take into consideration the possibility that ceilings may be removed on major foods. "That would be an entirely dif ferent situation," the spokesman said. Another change in the regula tion permits addition of new menu items, and restoration of itemi which were dropped during the war. This had been prohibited.

Prices for these also will be cal culated on the basis of the cost of food, plus the regular percentage mark up. The restaurant changes went into effect as government economists estimated that housewives' costs for major foods have climbed in recent weeks a the rate ot $485,000,000 a year. They broke down their figures this way: A cent a loaf for bread $125, a penny a quart for nillk and authorized price hikes for butter and cheese $250,000,000: general meat price increases which became effective in April $110, 000,000 We Buy and Sell CAPITAL BANK TRUST COMPANY Common Stock Also Fractional Share Certificates Blair F.
