Volcano Expert
Believed Drowned
In Alaska Stream
ANCHORAGE, Iff)—A knapsack,
an empty light meter case and
footprints found by searchers
Monday led to the belief that Dr.
Werner Juhle, missing young vol
canologist, drowned in an icy
Alaska mountain stream.
Reports received here from the
search party said Juhle’s equip
ment was located at the edge of
the stream near Mt. Katmai, in
the Valley of 10,000 Smokes at
the base of the Alaska Peninsula.
Footprints led to one bank of
the swift-flowing current. None
were seen on the other side. „
Search leaders said it appeared
the 23-year-old Johns Hopkins
University scientist tried unsuc
cessfully to leap across the stream,
fell in and drowned.
The hunt for him continued,
but with scant hope he would be
found alive.
Juhle was engaged in research
for the Geodetic Survey, and had
headed out alone on a 4-day field
trip to study volcanic activity in
the Valley of 10,000 Smokes. He
carried food for 10 days and little
concern was felt over his failure
to return on schedule since he
was known to be an experienced
mountaineer.
The search for him began Sept.
8 and by last weekend had grown
to 39 men in the ground parties
and 10 military planes, including
helicopters.

Democrats Blast
Eisenhower At
$100-Plate Dinner
By JACK BELL
CHICAGO, UP) — Democrats ac
cused President Eisenhower Tues
day of breaking his 1952 cam
paign pledges to the fanners and
predicted the reaction will co'st
Republicans control of Congress
next year.
Former President Truman yes
terday seconded vigorously Ste
venson’s biting attack Monday
night on the Eisenhower adminis
tration’s foreign policies.
Stevenson told cheering Demo
crats at a $100-a-plate dinner the
Republican administration had
made “hollow political gestures”
abroad and at home and had cut
defense and foreign aid while toss
ing “threatening words” at the
Communists.
The former Illinois governor
said the announcement of defense
cuts “followed by threatening
words in Asia, sounded to me as
though the administration was
saying to the Communists: ‘One
false move from you guys and
we’ll cut the national defense by
another billion dollars.”
Truman, who previously, had
voiced some free-swinging criti
cisms of the “wrecking crew” he
said was at work in Washington,
applauded Stevenson’s sharp at
tack on Eisenhower foreign poli
cies and beamed when the 1952
nominee praised the “undaunted
courage and strong will” he said
Truman had displayed in foreign
affairs.
Later the former President told
this reporter the Republicans
can’t do anything else but follow
the international policies the
Democrats had laid down.
“But I am worried about the
way the Republicans are carrying
out our policies,” he said. “Of
course, they have to continue the
general line of foreign policy that
started with Woodrow Wilson.”

Gen. Taylor Asks
8th Army To Help
Rebuild S. Korea
SEOUL, UP) —Gen. Maxwell D.
Taylor Tuesday called on his 8th
Army to help rebuild South Korea
but he outlined a voluntary plan
presumably designed to avoid
arousing the wrath of Congress.
In a message broadcast to his
troops, Taylor urged them to en
gage in a program of aid and
reconstruction to help restore “a
normal life for our neighbors.”
He proposed that the Army lend
its technical skills — engineering
for example — and construction
equipment that could be spared.
Troops were free to help in build
ing work if they wished and were
encouraged to make cash dona
tions for rehabilitation work.
“In so doing we are continuing
the fight against the Communist
enemy in a different but very ef
fective way,” he said in a broad
cast to- his multi-nation army.
Taylor’s plan made clear that
8th Army troops would not be
used as labor troops—an objec
tion raised in Congress when an
army rebuilding program was
first proposed several weeks ago.
JUNGLE JUMBOS
INSIST ON DRINKS
FROM OLD HAUNTS
COLOMBO, Ceylon, UP—British
Navy men stationed on this island
commonwealth have found out an
elephant really never does forget
—particularly where he gets his
drinks.
The sailors selected a site for a
jungle station including a water
hole long used by elephants, but
the naval engineers thought a con
crete fence would keep the pre
vious consumers away.
The first night the camp was
occupied, two elephants broke
through the concrete to' reach the
water hole.
Engineers repaired the break
and reinforced the fence with
steel rails 30 feet high.
Next morning the rails had
been spread-eagled, and the gap
was there again.
The Navy men built a water
tank for the elephants outside the
fence. But familiar brews are best
— and again the fence was
breached.
Then submarine nets were
added to the re-erected rails. The
nets, the rails and the concrete
all went down before the elephan
tine thirst.
Now the navy has obtained of
ficial permission to shoot the in
truders.
But no one wants to' carry out
the job.
