Hurricane Hazel Causes
Much Death And Damage
In Southwestern Haiti
PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti, OP)—
The United States, Haiti and se-v
eral Caribbean countries pushed
big scale relief operations in
southwestern Haiti Friday in the
wake of Hurricane Hazel’s terrific
battering.
Adm. Edmund B. Taylor, in
charge of the U.S. emergency aid
program, described the situation
as desperate in some parts of the
island’s ravaged southwestern
peninsula. The most immediate
need was for food, pure drinking
water and medical supplies for
inoculations to prevent epidemics.
More than 100 persons were re
ported killed by the storm which
hit in full fury Tuesday but
casualty tolls were still fragmen
tary today because of disrupted
communications and the remote
ness of tho area. Some settle
ments were said to have been
swept away without a trace.

Party Spokesmen’s
Interpretations on
Alaska Vote Differ
WASHINGTON, UP)—Republi
! can and Democratic spokesmen in
i Washington disagreed Wednesday
j on interpretation of the Alaska
| election results, where Democrats
; scored an overwhelming .victory,
i Rep. Kirwan (D-Ohio>, chairman
of the National Democratic Con
gressional Campaign Committee,
said the returns are “further indi
cations of a Democratic sweep in
November.”
Leonard Hall, chairman of the
Republican National Committee,
rejected that view.
“No inference can be drawn
from the results of the Alaska
elections,” he said. “The big is
sues in that campaign had nothing
to do with the national congres
sional campaign.”
Kirwan sent a telegram to Del
egate E. L. iBob) Bartlett of Al
aska congratulating him on “lead
ing the way to an overwhelming
Democratic victory in November.”
Hall said in his statement:
“The Democrats tried to inject
as an issue the failure of the Al
aska statehood bill in tbe last ses
sion o'f Congress. But the record
of the Republican administration
and the 83rd Congress was not
involved.
“Alaska has been sending a
Democrat delegate to the Congress
ever since 1933 and the reelection
of the Democrats to this post was
i certainly no surprise. Reading
j any significance into that election
is not justified.
Wilson, at GOP Banquet, Admits
‘Dogs’ Statement Was Mistake
By thr Associated Press*
Secretary of Defense Wilson
held out the olive branch Wednes
day night to those who took of
fense at his allusion to dogs in a
discussion of unemployment ear
lier this week.
“I am sorry I made inept re
marks,” Wilson said during an
address at a $100-a-plate Repub
lican dinner in Chicago. “I admit
that I made a mistake—an unfor
tunate mistake—bringing up those
bird dogs at the same time I was
talking about people.”
However, Wilson said his re
marks at a Detroit news confer
ence Monday were “distorted by
our left wing opponents.
During questioning at that nows
conference, Wilson talked about
the unemployment problem at
length and at one point said:
“ . . . I’ve got a lot of sympathy
for people where a sudden change
catches ’em—but I’ve always
liked bird dogs better than kennel
fed dogs. You know, one who’ll
get out and hunt for food rather
than sit on his fanny and yell.”
A hue and cry of protest went
up immediately afterward from
some Democrats and labor union
leaders—and some Republicans as
well.
Among those who at first re
acted against Wilson was Repub
lican Gov. William G. Stratton of
Illinois, who suggested Wednes
day morning that Wilson’s sched
uled speech to the GOP fund rais
ing dinner be called off.
However, Stratton decided later
to go along with the decision of
the dinner sponsors to carry out
the program as planned. And as
planned, he introduced Wilson at
the dinner, referring to thb de
fense secretary as “a man big
enough to fight against odds of
misunderstanding and partisan at
tack when he believes himself
doing his best for his country.”
In Denver, the vacation White
House termed “100 per cent
wrong” a published report that
President Eisenhower had per
suaded Stratton to go through
with his appearance at the Chi
cago dinner.
While this was going on, the
political pot kept bubbling else
where.
Vice President Nixon, speaking
in Van Nuys, Calif., said Demo
cratic Party le-aders offer the
voters little but “a thin diet of
f-*
chips and criticism, fear and
smear.” He labelled Democrat
chieftains “Doom-o-crats.”
In Houston, Rep. Sam Rayburn
of Texas told a news conference
he can not see where Secretary of
State Dulles has changed any of
the fundamentals of the Truman
Acheson foreign policy. But, add
ed the House Democrat leader:
“It is being administered in
such a way that we have fewer
friends in the world than we’ve
ever had.”
In Washington, Sen. Joseph R.
McCarthy (R-Wis), just out of the
Bethesda, Md., Naval Hospital
after treatment for a sinus condi
tion, told newsmen he is “sup
porting all of the Republican can
didates with one exception”—
Clifford P. Case, who is running
for the Senate in New Jersey.
Case said last July 7 that if he
were elected, he would vote
against continuing McCarthy as
chairman of member of the Sen
ate Government Operations Com
mittee” or any other committee
with similar functions.”
Water - Filled Boots
Cause Man to Drown
YUCAIPA, Calif., (IP)—Appar
ently it was Cyris Stoneham’s
rubber boots that cost him his life
Tuesday.
Stoneham, 43, was putting a
purifier in the Yucaipa Water
Company’s reservoir when his
raft tipped and he fell into the
water. He sank so fast because
his boots filled with water that J
fellow workers could not rescue I
him. i
