Aug. (UP) Tha Italian motor ship Tauri-nia headed for this port today, with at least one person dead and several others dangerously ill with fever, believed to have been caused by contaminated water. The ship, scheduled to arrive Wednesday, sent a radio message at dawn yesterday, saying: "Help, practices. Mahon is chairman of of operations, repairs and furnishings, all of which are footed by the home-owners who.

Drucker. said, are performing a public service. "While the new law, permits increases based on the' June, 1947, rental rate," Drucker said, "It must be borne in mind that prior to that date there has been, during the years, practically no increase. Hence, the boost under the new law will really be an increase above the March, 1942, rate, with few exceptions." WASHINGTON, Aug. 6 (AP) 1 'A record 56,062,405,890 peacetime military budget was approved today by the House Appropriations committee.

It is $1,542,608,500 less than the. President requested 1 and does not include $4,500,000,000 for Public Works construction? to be oensidred later this year. Neither does it include financing of the fighting in Korea since June 30, the bill for that to be footed in a later measure. With that one exception, the present measure is to finance the Defense Department for the fiscal year ending next June 30., Accompanying the big money bill to the House for debate starting Wednesday was a statement by Representative Mahon, of Texas.

The Grace Line passenger ves sel steamship banta Rosa nulled alongside the motor ship so a doctor could administer the drugs. The Santa Rosa said the physician believed contaminated water caused the fever, but its report did not in clude details on the number of dead and sick.

Congressman Asks Stalin Let Truman Tell Peace Program WASHINGTON, Aug. 8 (AP) Representative Flood, of Pennsylvania. has challenged Marshal Stalin to halt Russia's jamming of the Voice of America long enough to allow President Truman to tell the Russian people about America's program for peace and prosperity.

"We are simply and sincerely expressing our disagreement with the basically false philosophi- Lcal idea that there is such a thing as tenants' rights but no such thing as a landlord's rights." The head of trie Kentai Housing Federation pointed out the "terrible unfairness" of politicians in creatine the impression that one group at people (tenants) is being made to suffer. "The poor tenant," they say. "Well, what about the poor G.I.

or other small home-owner who bought a two or three-family home because he had no place to live. Not only does his rental income fail to pay either his own mortgage or his taxes, but he himself actually pays more to live and carry on his home than his tenant does." He branded as "vicious" the politician's propaganda that this 20 Percent rent boost was "cooked up the Real Estate interests." "It was not." declared Drucker. "It was devised by the Federal Government in an attempt, inadequate as it is, to bring the rental picture in line with what has happened in the country's general economy."

CONSULT TOUR OWN TRAVEL AGENT GARAGE 7 fZ Calling for a fair understanding of the small home-owner's problems in the face of the new rent-boost law, the president of the Rental Housing Federation of the Boston Real Estate Board today lashed out at the government and "cheap politics" for creating a bitter antagonism between two groups of Americans landlords and tenants. Bertram Drucker, president of the group, attacked what he called the ''cheap political talk" of Representative Edmund V.

Lane, of Brighton, who last Friday cited "the need for a strong law to protect the rights of tenants who cannot stand further rental increases." "This type of talk is designed simply to incite one group of people against another," said Drucker, whose five-month old Federation group represents Boston small home-owners unable to afford legal counsel to assist them in solving their rental problems. "It's high time we had some economic statesmanship on all asserted Drucker. "In thiS time of crisis we need unity, not a division of our people. When politicians start talking about the rights of one group against those of another, then we are degenerating into a pretty serious The new Defense Production Act, signed into law by President Tru man on July 31, allows rent boosts up to 20 percent above What they were on June 30, 1947,. but in cases where there has already been a 15 percent boost tenants will face no more 4ban a five percent hike.

"All I'm trying to do." said Drucker at a. press conference, "is to put across to the public the true and fair story of the home owner. Real estate owners want to be patri-otic like everyone else, but when controls are taken off of every other industry except rentals there is something wrong in the nation's political economy.

6 (UP) -The body of 38-year-old William (Red) Hill was washed ashore today on rocks at the foot of the; Horseshoe' Falls, he tried to ride yesterday in a rubber barrel. Hill catapulted to death be fore 200,000 spectators when the "thing" a barrel made of 14 tire inner tubes ripped to pieces on the rocks beneath the 168-foot falls. A weeping younger brother of the- daredevil river man vowed he would ride Niagara himself in a steel barrel, probably next Suday, to fulfill his brother's death bed promise to their father. The brother. Major Lloyd Hill, a private in the Canadian army, started to make the drop a year ago but pulled out at the last minute and watched his barrel shatter on the Niagara rocks.

"Well, he put on a great show," Major Hill said of his brother, Red. Red Hill's almost -unrecognizable body was washed on the rocks near the Maid of The Mist landing about 7 a. m. must have taken a terrible pounding from the rocks," an officer said. His dying father told him to go' over in a rubber barrel because a metal one would carry him to certain death.

Red Hill was so confident yesterday he 1 would conquer the cataract that he drank a few beers. After all, he had shot the treacherous lower falls twice and lived to tell about it. "People say it can't be done, but I say it can," he "They're betting on it right now and the odds are against me. But somebody's going to lose money." Hill's barrel of 14 heavy-duty truck innertubes lashed together by strips of canvas and netting was towed to one-quarter mile above the falls and cut loose. He had wanted to go over near the American side, to avoid the jagged rocks below, but the rubber barrel bobbed crazily through the boiling rapids and eddies and dropped off near the center.

Just what happened, no one knows. The barrel came apart when it struck massive rocks below the falls and from all indications the weight of the 150-pound daredevil was too great for the flimsy Norman (Corky) Hill, another brother, and three other men in a rescue boat were the first to approach the barrel after it reappeared with innertubes poking out at all angles. "There's no one in it" Corky Hill yelled to newsmen and photographers aboard a power launch. Behind them the famous Maid of the Mist steamer was jammed with spectators. Hill's shoes were found in the barrel.

He had taken them off when he climbed onto the rubber mattress he had rigged up as the deck of his craft. The barrel also carried a score of good luck charms, including a four-leaf clover, a chip from the Blarney Stone and -some 1 holy medals. One of the spectators who had thought Hill would succeed was Jean Lussier. who went over in 1928 and is now the only living conqueror of Horseshoe Falls. "The barrel was not so good," he said later.

Hill's mother and sister also were among yesterday's spectators. "Where is he? Where is he?" His mother sobbed when she was told that only the punctured barrel had been found. "That's my oldest boy and I want him." Mother, Girl, 7, Going to Hospital, Hurt in Collision A young Forest Hills mother and her daughters had more than one reason for continuing their trip to the hospital this morning when the taxicab in which they were riding was in collision with a passenger sedan outside the emergency entrance to the Boston City Hospital on Albany st. Mrs. Evelyn Walsh of fll Bourne Forest Hills, sustained a questionable fracture of the right shoulder and her two daughters, 10-year-old Evelyn, who was en route to the hospital for treatment when the crash occurred, and Ellen, age 7 years, received cuts about the lips.
