Hear Shouts, Shots

i I Reports of shouts and shots. . coming from t.he wooded section of i, the island, were relayed to search directors by the land parties.

The airman rescued today was taken aboard the Cayuga for med- ical treatment. He suffered a. bro- ken ankle when he landed from the ﬂaming plane by parachute.

He was found on the beach where he had made his wny from some miles inland.

A large land, sea. and air search continued with Canadian and Am- crican searchers co-operatlng in the hunt.

Planes continually criss-crossed the area and ground parties fati- ned out over the rugged island in a race against time and ivezitliei".

Five skilled mountaineers of the Alphirie Club of Canada, flown in by the R..C.A.F.. are with the searchers.

'I‘en of the fliers were rescued by a. Vancouver fishing boat yes- terday, and the iltii was picked up from a mOuntaIn cliff early to- day by a land party from the Can- adian destroyer. He was 22-year- oid radio operator Staff Sgt, Vitaie Trippodi of Brooklyn, N.Y.

Trippodi had hung with head down for 10 hours, with legs broken, after he ltmdcd in a tree on the cliff side. I-Ic suf- fered for additional hours in an improvised parachute-wrap- ped shelter after other sur- vivors had freed him, They were too weak to bring liim to the beach. -

The I63-ton plane. under the command of 30-year-old Capt. Harold L. Barry. Hilisboro. Ill,, had three of its six engines iifire when it was "ditched" over the island.

It took only 1'7 seconds, Capt. Barry said, to "abandon ship," the men plunging into the "black un- known" oi the uninhabited island.

Some landed in trees; others among the rocks, high from the shore, and two, including the skipper, iii the centre of a small lake,

it was iio-foodless hours before rescue came. Capt. Vance King of the herring boat Cape Perry found them when he investigated a “wisp of smoke." It came from a beach signal iire.

Suggests Bedtime Stories For Children

LONDON, Feb. l6 — (C?) Joyce C. Bowdcn, director of the Nursery School Association, thinks parents should tell more bedtime stories to their children.

"It's a way of interesting them tn new ideas and thoughts and if they come to rely on regular stories for their information. ilicy are drawn closer to ihcir parents." she says.

But Miss Bowden believes par- ents should bc careful in their choice oi stories. "Liiiic Red Riding Hood" slic describes as a "sadistic and icrrifjving talc," but "Goldilocks And The Three Bears“ is okay.

Coal Rationing Begins In New York Slate As Stock Pile Shrinks.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16—(AP)— The urgency oi ihe coal situation in tho United Stiitcs was pointed up laio today with ordering of coal rationing in New York State. Negotiations meanwhile pushed ahead lierc, under Government and court pressure.

The laicst word from the con- tract negotiations botwcen John L. Lcivis, prcsitlcrit of the United Mine Workers ilritl.) and the soft- coal operators was that Lewis has suggested a guarantee of 200 days work a year for his bituminous mincrs in the United States, along with n 7 I-Z-hour day.

As tlic strike of some 370,000 U. M, W, members ate deeper into American coal stocks, the New Ynrk rationing was ordered effec- tivc immediately.

Top priority will be given to coiil for municipal writer and sew- agc plants, hospitals and food-pro- cussing plants in New York Strife.

Thc siaids cmcrgency coal ad- ministrator, Bertram D. Tzillamy, also ordered restriction beginning Stinday in the use of electricity for advertising, show-window and marquee lighting and air-condi-

tioning. Effective immediately in New York Statc "no more than one

ton of coal shall be delivered at Oﬂl‘ time to one-family dwelling units and no more than a scvcn- day supply to multiple-dwelling, apartments, office. commercial and factory buildings, or places of public gathering."

Tailnmy acted under sweeping emergency powers given Governor

Thomas Dewey Tuesday by the legislature to combat the coal crisis.

Tiic rationing and prioritics rcg- uiations have tlie full force of law and are enforceable by court in- junction.

Lcivis in addition to this work- day and hour demands, is said to have spoken of a wage rate "up to $15 a day" and a royalty of "up to 35 cents a ton."

This might indicate lie is open to compromise on these figures Whifh i-Ienernlly are regarded as among his tinrovcnicd demands on thc industry. The wngn under the cxpircd contract is $14.05 for nn ciphuhour day. The mines have pnid a ZO-ccnt-n-ion royalty to provide Pension and welfare funds for the workers.

Government To Purchase Mount Pleasant Airport

As a restiit of lmig-coriiiiiucd negotiations it is understood that the Provincial Government has nnw definitely dccideri to pur- chase the Mount Pleasant airport, built during the war years at. l cosi. of about $700,000.

The Government was first of- fered the property frorii the Sur- plus Asseis Corporation for about $80,000, but the final price will be considerably lower than this.

The property contains over 700 acres, including about 800 acres of marsh lands, with some thirty- cight buildings including huts. power houses. store houses and hangars.

The roadway through the air- port, which was shut off and concrcted for runway purposes during the war. will be reopened for public highway purposes.

The land, it is understood, will be offered for re-sale to the original owners. A group of local business men are also reportedly interested in purchasing from the

Government. There are several hundred ions of low-grade coal mi the

property. and also a good deal of gravel and other material which could probably be used- by the Government for road purposes.

Navy Announces Plans For Two-Division Fleet

OTTAWA, Feb. l6 iC-Pi The Navy today announced plans for a. two-division fleet designed to build up a small, compact force ready for swift action in an emer- gency.

Main feature of the plan will be division cf the fleet in two main segments. one concentrating on training and the other on opera- tional work.

The announcement marks at- tainment of the Navy's long-range objective for a two-division fleet towards which it has been work- ing since the end of the Second World War. It also marks imple- mcntation of ii recommendation contained in the celebrated Main- guy Commission report on the Navy last foil. One recommenda- tion caiied for specific ships to he designed to train new men.

Since the war there lias been a,

mixing of both forms of training with unsatisfactory consequences for both, the Navy said. But shortage of manpower hindered earlier implementation of the plan. The present navy strength of some 9.000 men is considered barely suf- ficient for full efficiency of tlie scheme.

Today's announcement from naval headquarters said training ships “will be employed exclusive- ly in providing sea experience for new entries, reserve personnel and naval cadets."

It will furnish the practical training necessary to supplement that received ashore by men tak- ing courses in specialized subjects such as gunnery. communications, electricity, electronics, engineering and radar plotting,

The Navy termed the two-divis- ion plan "the most important step taken by the Navy since the war."

The Navy emphasized that iul- fillment of the plan will not be accomplished without difficulty and will not take place overnight. Really tangible results on the op- erational side arc not expected be- fore 195i.
