THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE SEVEN ________________________________________ I U I Lost Plane Sighted, All Feared Dead RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil-P)- The burned, broken wreckage of a Pan American luxury strato- cruiser that vanished Tuesday was found in Northern Brazil yester-. day with no evidence that any of the 50 persons aboard, includ- ing 19 Americans, lived through the crash. A vast air hunt over 320,000 square miles of jungles, river bas- ins and plateau land finally lo- cated the ruins of the 1 million dollar double-decked liner in the Indian country between the towns of Barreiras and Carolina - on course to the end. Air line officials said the find was made by a C-46 Pan American cargo clipper, piloted by Capt. Jim Kowing of Miami, 287 miles south- west of Carolina, a Tocantins river town itself 1,100 miles north- northwest of Rio de Janeiro. * * * THE STRATOCRUISER, lost in one of the line's el President flights from Buenos Aires to New York, was reported to have broken in two and scattered its charred wreckage on both sides of a 300- foot high hill. IU.S. Air Force paramedics - .doctors and medical attendants equipped with parachutes - were dispatched to the scene from the port of Belem, 400 miles north of Carolina. They planned to drop as close as pos- sible to the site of the crash, in a forested area where the Indians are regarded as semi- friendly. The stratocruiser's nine crew members were headed by Capt. 7 Albert Grossarth, 36, of La Grange Park, Ill. Several well - known United States business executives, as well as Latin American officials and business men, were among the 41 passengers. Paratroop rescuers returned to base today and wrote off as dead the 50 passengers and crewmen of a Pan American stratocruiser found burned and broken in nor- thern Brazil today. Local Workers Strike in Wage DisputeIssue Nearly 200 members of the Ann Arbor Plumbers and Steamfitters Union 190 went out on strike yes- terday in a wage dispute center- ing around a 25 cent raise de- manded by the workers. The strike involves two other Michigan cities and affects ap- proximately 1,300 workers. Work stoppage was reported in Flint and Grand Rapids when men failed to show up for work. 1 r * * SEVERAL construction projects in Ann Arbor, whose contractors are not members of the Ann Arbor Association of Master Plumbers, were also affected by the walkout. According to an official of the association the union is demand- ing a 25-cent wage boost, from $2.75 to $3 per hour, permissi- ble under a Wage Stabilization Board ruling. The association made a counter- offer Wednesday proposing a 15- cent an hour raise, provided the d union hire a full-time business agent. However this was turned down by the union. At Flint, 850 men are demand- ing a 15 cent raise. Their strike affects production at half a dozen, defense plants under construction. The strikers at Grand Rapids are also demanding a 15-cent pay hike and have been offered a ten cent raise. -Daily-Don Campbell ONLY PRACTICE-George London (left), Metropolitan Opera bass, and Conductor Thor Johnson practiced yesterday with the Choral Union and the Philadelphia Orchestra in preparation for tonight's May Festival presentation of Berlioz' "The Dam- nation of Faust." 'PEACE' FROLIC: Nelson Cheever Houses Hold May ay Gambol By JAN WINN Little did a sweltering campus know that a genuine May Day "peace" demonstration was taking place in its midst yesterday. Joining hands around a brightly decked maypole Adelia Cheever women and Nelson International House men celebrated the coming of spring and the end of a long, fierce battle between the two houses. SINGING, dancing and horse- play marked the "friendly" late Truman Again Refuses To Run For Reelection WASHINGTON-M)-President Truman said emphatically yes- terday he would not run if nomi- nated for another term. When asked at a news confer- ence whether he would go a step further and say he would not serve if elected-a statement at- tributed to Gen. William T. Sher- man in 1884 but disputed by some historians-the President asked how he could be elected if he re- fused the nomination. * * C TRUMAN had some good words to say for Senator McMahon (D.- Conn.), latest to announce for the Democratic Presidential nomina- tion, and again for Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson of Illinois, who has said he "could not accept" a Presiden- tial candidacy this summer. On the hot steel controversy, he said all he wants to do is get steel produced, that he's going to take every action possible to that end. He said he has no ambition to become a dictator and of course he will abide by the Supreme Court's decision in the matter. Yesterday's interview dealt in large part with the steel situation despite an opening admonition from the President that he would not discuss it. But politics came up first and a newsman asked his opinion of Senator McMahon's New York announcement yester-; day that he's now a full fledged candidate for the Democratic Presidential nomination, making five avowed candidates in all. afternoon gathering on the Nel- son House lawn. The front door was decked with signs reading: "When Spring Comes .. . We come too. May, Peace, Rain?" According to Nelson House- father Al Raygor, "It all started when I found a sailboat in the living room last week." Raygor, who had just returned from smelt fishing that day also found smelt nets, pails, and cans of salmon and tuna fish. * * INSPIRED by a Cheever House serenade the Nelson men soon de- posited the boat on the Cheever House front porch as a thank you gift. Accompanying the craft was the paraphernalia plus a mock fraternity pin created from a large lid and inscribed with NIH. The battle then began. As the women #moved the boat to the second floor the men planted signs in front of the house reading, "live bait--worms." In retaliation the boat-ridden Cheeverites inserted a classified ad in The Daily offer- ing sailboatk, worms and live bait for sale. The deadlocked forces came to a head the following day in a raid on Cheever resulting in the capture of two prisoners by the Amazons. After two hours of captivity the prisoners were re- leased for dinner at home where they awarded green hearts for their bravery in action." After the final return of the boat the two camps did little but enjoy the calm of the ensuing lull. But yesterday morning in an at- tempt to climatically culminate the series of events Cheever women deposited the colorful, impromptu maypole on the Nelson House doorstep, a white flag flying from its summit. Health Officials Blast. Budget Cut DETROIT - (A) - Bitterly cri- tical of legislative appropriations, the State mental health commis- sion said yesterday the situation in mental hospitals will be "ex- tremely precarious" because of a forced cutback in services and personnel.
