Mitchell, former ator from Washington, who earlier yesterday had wired President Truman urging him to lead the draft-Eisenhower movement.

For some months observers have noted a decided Increase in Muscovite activities in the Orient, quite apart from the major operations In China and Korea. The Russians have been sending their agents Into Burma, Indonesia and Slam to take advantage of the unsettled conditions In those areas. Now we get a further Important and highty significant move. More Ruslans are In Siamese capital, establishing their first legation.

There would be no call for such a big staff for the conduct of normal affairs, and this fact fits In well with a remark the other day by a friend of mine just back from the Far But: "I think you may expect the Russians to establish a branch of the Cominform In Bangkok in the Immediate future; From that strategic point they will direct their drive In that whole vast area of Soutti-EaHtern Asia." We are reminded by the American-owned Bangkok Post that "the vacuum caused by British withdrawal from many areas In Asia is slowly being filled by Russian Ideology.

From the steaming jungles to the land of perpetual snow, high on the Orizaba Volcano, rescue teams struggled today to reach the wreckage of a United States plane which crashed last Friday. The rescue team left Jesus Maria near the village of La Perla about noon yesterday on horseback, but the last port of the climb up the rugged sides of the volcano had to be made on foot. Aboard the plane when It crashed were 16 employes of the Mexican-United States Foot and Mouth Disease Commission, eight of them Americans.

They were enroute from Mlnatltlan to Mexico City in a commission-leased plane. At Jesus Maria officials In charge of the rescue said it was unlikely the rescuers would bo able to reach the advanced base with any of the bodies today. However, In Mexico City, the Department of National Defense said the bodies would be brought out by soldiers under forced march if possible today. Meanwhile, an Army transport was due to land this morning in Mexico City to take bodies of Americans to the United States. Because the rescue team had no radio transmitter equipment, officials said they could receive no word until Indian runners returned with messages.

Dan Moody Takes Texas' Part in Drafting Platform for Demo Party AUSTIN Armed with the State Democratic Convention's resolutions on civil rights and tidelands, former Governor Dan Moody was enroute to Philadelphia today to help draft the national convention's platform. He will represent Texan Democrats at the first meeting of the Platform Drafting Committee tomorrow. This is not the convention's formal committee, but a group named to make recommendations to it. In 1944, Moody was ft member of the committee that brought out a watered-down civil plonk that the convention adopted. There has been considerable talk that a similar move would be backed by convention managers this time help chill Southern opposition to President Truman's renomlnation.

Moody in an Interview here before he left he hoped he could help bring out a platform that "will go as far possible In representing viewpoint the South'," "My past experience at national conventions has been that the South gets a respectful hearing, then gets turned down," he added. Moody oald he would oppose any plank on civil rights which would encourage federal legislation on "social matters reserved by the Constitution to the The former governor la also a strong advocate of legislation ced Ing title in the tldelanda to tht states. He said he wanted the platform to include a plank on that subject. Asked about his views on the Elsenhower boom, he said It was too early to say. "Too much depends on whethci he would accept the nomination, 1 said.

Among resolutions adopted at the state convention at Brownwood was one expressing "unalterable opposition" to civil rights program.

Steel Corporation reported all 14 of UK Pennsylvania mines, employing 11,000 men, wore idle, causing a daily loss of 55,000 tons of coal, Among other captive mines closed were those of Jones LaughHn Steel Corp. and the Weirton Steel Co.

Captive mines are those whose output goes to a parent firm, like a steel company. The Western Pennsylvania Coal Dporalora Association reported commercial coal production the Pittsburgh-Uniontown area was only one-third of no a 1, with 30 pits and 10,000 men idle. The output of commercial mines is sold on tho open market. The captive miners stayed away from work because of lack of a contract. Steel companies refused a new contract because of a union shop provision.

The majority of the 400,000 bituminous miners had a ni contract from commercial coal operators granting a $l-per-d a pay Increase and a welfare fund royalty doubled to 20 cents a ton. The walkout actually was an extension of tho 10-day miners' vacation which ended yesterday. Tho captive miners hold to the United Mine Workers' tradition of "no contract, no work." Signs on the mine doors clarod the-pits open and promised the captive miners nil the benefits of tho unsigned contract except tho union shop. Under tho union shop, employes arc required to join the union after they are hired. Stool claims this violates the Taft-H a 11 Law.

The Hhower house at Camp Kl-O-Wah will be centrally located where 'it wfir be accessible to all Scouts and leaders, The Rev. Carver, prcBldent of Adobe Walls Area Council, said today. The shower house project' la far from being the most costly project planned, in the camp development program. Nonetheless, is of high, importance to the Scouts.

"Nothing is more vital to tho operation of a camp, than a bountiful supply of good water. Fire protection, sanitation, personal cleanliness all demand a supply of water that will be available all over the campsite. Such a water system will make for more enjoyable and more healthful camping for every Scout, Carver added. Thus, a water distribution system l.s one of Hie major projects planned at tho camp. A new well and reservoir are being planned at present to supply the needs of the camp for many years to come.

Sufficiont water storage will be provided to give protection against fire and assure a bountiful supply of water at all times. In connection with this, Carver said, good health demands a suitable system of waste disposal in camp. Field tanks serving tho kitchen and central showers will bo inBtalled.
