Arboretum A second Truax Field F-89C Scorpion jet plane was reported missing today with two occupants, even as searchers continued efforts to recover the bodies of two other fliers who died Monday when their plane plunged into the mud in a marshy area near Lake Wingra. Occupants of the second plane, which disappeared late Monday afternoon over Lake Superior, were 1st.

Glen E. Collins, 30, radar observer. Lt. Schmidt, a native of Del Rio, lived at 10 Sherman and Capt. Collins, native of Indianapolis, lived at 24 Craig Ave.

Lt. Col. Henry Shnup, Truax base commander, said the jet interceptor involved in the second crash had taken off from Kinross Air Base near Sault Ste. Marie, Monday at 5:22 p. to investigate an unidentified pane over the lake.

The Truax jet was at the Michigan base as a replacement tor regular teams from the field sent to Yuma, Ariz. ior gunnery maneuvers. Lt. Schmidt Capt. Collins The Truax plane was followed on the radar screen at Kinross until its image merged with that of the unidentified plane, then it disappeared.

Shoup said he suspected that the jet went into the lake as it attempted to avoid hitting the craft it was investigating. The unidentified plane later proved to be a Candian liner 30 miles off its course. The spot of disappearance was about 70 miles northeast of Ke-weenan Point in Upper Michigan and 40 miles southwest of the Ontario shoreline. Air Force planes and most guard boats joined in a hunt for the missing fliers today, but snow and cold were hampering search. Shoup said he doubted if the fliers could remain alive overnight if they fell into the cold water.

Moncla, married and the father of two children is a native of Moreauville. La. Wilson, who was single, was a son of Renne Wilson of Ponca City, Okla. Crews of both Truax planes were members of the 433rd Fighter-Interceptor squadron according to Col. Shoup.

Plans to assist a grief-stricken Albany woman in carrying the fight for the custody of her 2 '2-year-old foster son to the State Supreme Court, will be discussed at a mass meeting at the Albany Community Hall at 7:30 tonight. The mass meeting was hastily arranged at the courthouse here Monday after Green County and state officials refused to reconsider Is Slap At Probe ethods Says He Favors Code of Old est 9 WASHINGTON (IP) President Eisenhower, starting a Thanksgiving holiday today, says no one can assassinate your character from behind without suffering the penalties an outraged citizenry will impose. The President said it is his firm belief that no American should be accused without the right of meeting his accuser face to face.

That was the code of the Old West where he grew up and it is a code Americans still cherish, the President declared Monday night in accepting the Bnai Brith Anti-Defamation Leagues annual Democratic Legacy Award. Eisenhower arranged to leave by plane today for Augusta, for a vacation of golf and a Thanksgiving Day turkey dinner with his family. He will return to Washington Sunday. The Eisenhowers scheduled a stop en route at Ft. to pick up their daughter-in-law, Mrs.

John Eisenhower, and their three grandchildren. Their son, an Army major stationed at Ft. Benning, will join the family at the Augusta National Golf Club later in the week. A new white brick cottage situated near the clubs lOlh tee was ready for the Eisenhowers. It was built by fellow club members for the Presidents use.

Monday night at the Mayflower Hotel the President received a standing ovation when Henry E. Schultz, chairman of the Anti-Defamation League of Bnai Brith, a Jewish service organization, handed him the leagues silver medallion award. Schultz praised Eisenhower for leadership in the great crusade to bring about the elimination of Nazi tyranny for your vigorous campaign to eliminate racial segregation in the armed forces; for your efforts to end undemocratic patterns of racial discrimination in Washington our capital city. But most of all, said Schultz, we honor you for your continuing leadership of the free world. Eisenhower replied in an informal, televised address that he had been briefed at- length by his staff on civil liberties and the leagues role in standing up for them.

Bub he said he wasnt going to talk to the league members about something of which they know a lot more than I do. he noted he was reared in the West in Abilene, Kan.

The train leaves Milwaukee at 10 a. m. daily, including Saturdays and Sundays, and arrives in Madison at 12:05 p.

m. It leaves Madison at iA5 p. m. and arrives in Milwaukee at 7 p. m.

It is the only passeijger train operated by the North Western Road, betwen the two cities. A round trip passenger train was eliminated in 1950. The Milwaukee Road now operates two round trip trains daily between Madison and Milwaukee. Melvin Handwerker, Chicago, assistant auditor of North Western, testified -that from Sept. 1, 1952.

to Aug. 31, 1953, the train between Milwaukee and Madison carried an average of 33 pas sengers a trip, cost $49,090 to operate for the year, and took in only $32,544 in revenues, or a loss of $16,546. On the return trip from Madison to Milwaukee in the same period it averaged 27 passengers daily, expenses were $49,097, revenues, $37,033 and the loss $12,064. Thus the total loss for the year for the round trip was $28,610 or an average loss of $78 a day, Handwerker testified. He listed the salaries of the train employes on an annual basis as: engineer, fireman, conductor, baggageman, and brakeman, $3,452.

Application of the road was supported by George P. Shuler, Madison, vice president and traffic manager of Oscar Mayer and and Oliver B. Wynn, Madison, traffic manager of Ray-O-Vac Co. Shuler stated that none of the 4,000 employes of Oscar Mayer had used the train in the past year. see no need for continuing any non-paying passenger serv- Continued On Page 2.

Col. 4) Radio-TV Reply giving the boy back to his foster mother, Mrs. Dorothy Tschudy, 28, Albany, now living at Monroe. More than 100 Albany residents drove to Monroe Monday to ask County Judge Harold J. Lamboley to change his mind and grant the custody of the child to Mrs.

Tschudy. George Keith, acting director of the State Department of Public Welfare, which insisted that the boy be returned to the state, also attended the meeting. Other Welfare Department officials at the meeting were Shirley Maxfield, social worker who handled the Tschudy case and Fred Delli-quadri, of the Division of Child and Youth Service. Mrs. Tschudy is in St.

Clare hospital, Monroe, suffering from nervous shock. She collapsed last Thursday after belatedly surren? dering the boy to the Welfare Department at Madison. She and her late husband, Vernon Tschudy, had cared for the boy, Jeffrey, since March 17, 1952, and had planned to adopt him. After his death April 11, 1953, the department decided that it would be best for the boy if he were placed in a home in which there was both a father and a mother and Judge Lamboley, at the departments request, signed an order demanding that Mrs. Tschudy return the boy to the state.

Keith disclosed Monday that the department has sanctioned adoptions in cases where there was no father or no mother in the homes in which the children werr placed. He said, however, this is not the general rule. The air was charged with emotion as the Albany residents made their plea. Judge Lamboley stated that because he had already made a decision in the case when he signed a writ of habeas corpus, it is out of my hands. He advised them to hire an attorney and possibly appeal to a higher court if they wanted to continue the case.

Keith restated the departments assertion that the best in- terests of the boy were being served by taking him away from; Mrs. Tschudy. He said the de-j (Continued on page 2 col. 1) By G.
