, 3 Die, 10 Homes Burned in
i Forest and Brush Fires
I Throughout California
LOS ANGELES, UP)—With three
! men dead and at least 10 homes
burned, weary fire fighters ap
peared to be gaining control Sat
urday of four forest and brush
blazes throughout California.
Flames killed three fire fighters
from the Folsom Prison Honor
Camp Friday near the small min
ing town of Sierra City, north of
Lake Tahoe in northern Califor
nia. They became separated from
other men on the lines and were
trapped bv the rapidly moving
fire.
Perhaps the most dangerous
outbreak in the epidemic of
flames was near ChatswoTth, 25
miles northwest of Los Angeles.
That fire burned at least seven
homes but at last report, after
blackening more than 1,700 acres,
was under control. The fire was
in Box Canyon and Santa Susana

RCMP Ship of Northwest
Passage Fame Makes Last
Voyage Before Museum
SAN FRANCISCO, UPI—A royal
Canadian mounted policeman and
a crew of 15 sailed the last of the
Mounties’ own ships through the
Golden Gate Friday, nearing the
end of her voyage from Halifax,
Nova Scotia to Vancouver, B.C.
The 104-foot schooner St. Roch,
skippered by Henry A. Larsen,
superintendent of the Royal Can
adian Mounted Police, is the only
craft to navigate the ice-jammed
Northwest Passage in both direc
tions.
Larsen said the ship is on her
final voyage to Vancouver, where
she will become a museum ship.
The ship was launched in Van
couver in 1928, and was used for
patrolling the Canadian arctic.
In 1940, Larsen and a crew of
nine sailed the Northwest Passage
enroute to Halifax, the first ship
to accomplish it.
“It wasn’t bad,” Larsen said of
the two-year, four-month voyage.
Four years later Larsen sailed
the ship back through the passage
to be the first man since Roald
Amundsen to sail a ship from east
to west. He is the only man ever
to make the voyage in both direc
tions.

Ike’s Part In
Nov. 2 Campaign
• By thf. Associated Press»
Aides to President Eisenhower
say the step-up in Eisenhower’s
personal campaign for a Republi
can Congress was planned long
ago and it doesn’t mean GOP
concern about the Nov. 2 election
has increased.
At the summer White House in
Denver, aides said Eisenhower’s
most forceful pronouncement of
the burgeoning campaign Thurs
day night at Los Angeles was
dictated by a plan to start GOP
vote-seeking at an easy pace,
gradually bringing it to a climax.
Democrat Adlai Stevenson took
note Friday night of Eisenhower’s
larger role in the campaign and
contended the President is plead
ing for a Republican Congress “to
save the Republican Party.”
Stevenson told an Evanston, 111.,
audience that Eisenhower is say
ing, in effect, “give me a Republi
can Congress to do what we
couldn’t do with a Republican
Congress.”
“The nation can’t be saved that
way,” Stevenson said.
For the GOP, House Speaker
Martin of Massachusetts was in
Pueblo, Colo., Friday ngiht. He
said voters must decide whether
they want Eisenhower’s legisla
tive program “sabotaged and
ripped to shreds” by a Democratic
Congress.
