Bustling Mining Town of 1899 Now Busted as Last Resident Is Buried PHOENIX, B. C. (P) — The snow fell softly today on the freshly-dug earth covering the grave of Phoenix' last inhabitant. William Henry Bambury was the last citizen of what was once Canada's highest city—a bustling mining town of five churches, 17 saloons, two railways, an opera house, three schools, and 3500 people. Phoenix boomed in 1890 and busted in 1919. Two stayed. One was a Belgian caretaker named Adolf Sercu who signed himself 4 Paw. For years 4 Paw paraded the city's rotting streets with a 30-30 rifle under his arm and a homemade badge on his chest. He died in 1942. The other who stayed was Bambury. He came to British Columbia from Portsmouth, England, to work on the Canadian Pacific. He arrived here in 1900 at the age of 33 to work as a carpenter. He never left except for a few months in hard winters when he made his way to the hotel in the nearby mining town of Greenwood. He did leave again, in October, to go to a hospital in Trail, B.C., but he returned. At his request he was buried in the cemetery on the hillside near the old copper mine's glory hole. Granby Consolidated Mining company took 13,500,000 tons of copper ore out of Phoenix' mountains, which rise 25 miles north of the U.S. border and 300 miles cast of Vancouver, B.C. At 4300 feet, Phoenix was the highest incorporated city in Canada; it disincorporated in 1919. The world's ski championships were once held here. After 1919, when the copper ore ran out, Phoenix emptied. One by one, the houses fell down until today only one is left standing. U.S. May Revision Foreign Aid Plan For Closer Uncertainty WASHINGTON United States may revisit foreign military aid to put more emphasis on promoting European economic unity. No firm decision has been yet. But key administrators may worry that they regard as a definitive down in western Europe press toward unity. Some American and foreign experts are reported to the U.S. should condition money grants on solid promises to take specific within a certain period of time. Whether a timetable can cope to follow will be in future legislation doubtful. Other equally vital administration plans lie European governments would regard this as a cause and interference in theireign affairs. But nearly all admin specialists on this probation.

SAFEWAY YOUR NEAREST SAFEWAY U.S. May Revise Foreign Aid Plan For Closer Unity WASHINGTON (P)—The United States may revise its future foreign military aid program to put more emphasis on a drive to promote European political and economic unity. No firm decision has been made yet. But key administration policy makers are worried ever what they regard as a definite slowdown in western Europe's progress toward unity. Some American and foreign aid experts are reported convinced the U. S. should condition future money grants on solid European promises to take specified steps within a certain period of time. Whether a timetable for Europe to follow will be included in future legislation appears doubtful.

A group of senators and representatives who attended last month's meeting of the European Consultative Assembly at Strasbourg, France, criticized Europe's failures to move more quickly toward unity. Prices on Autos To Climb Tonight Under, Capehart WASHINGTON (P) — Higher prices for automobiles can be expected to result from a government order, ready for issuance tonight, authorizing car makers to compute new price cellings. The authorization will be another in a series by the Office of Price Stabilization (OPS) allowing business concerns to recalculate their prices under the Capehart provisions of the economic controls law. OPS cleared the way yesterday for possible price increases on a wide range of consumer items. These include clothing, meat, foods, milk and butter, gasoline, coal, tobacco, drugs, beer and cosmetics. The agency estimated about 100,000 manufacturers, processors, refiners and mining concerns were affected. The Capehart provision requires that OPS cellings permit manufacturers to take their pre-Korea prices and add or subtract all cost changes through last July 26 in computing new cellings. The provision permits increases to a much later date than previously authorized by the price agency. The auto price adjustment will be the third since the Korean outbreak. Car prices were first frozen as of Dec. 1, 1950. Last spring manufacturers were granted a 3½ per cent increase. In September they were permitted another adjustment which OPS expected would average from 5 to 6 per cent.

As long ago as August most of the car makers told OPS they wanted to seek adjustments under the provision, named for Senator Capehart (R-Ind). The September order allowed auto makers adjustments based on cost increases through last March 15. The order to come out tonight will bring adjustments up to July 26. Defense Committee Praises Officials For Worthwhile Job WASHINGTON UP—The Senate-House Defense Production committee today praised top government officials for "an outstanding job of defense mobilization"—and sharply challenged another congressional group's recent report of a dangerous lag. The joint two-party unit unanimously commended the defense planners for having "accomplished the unprecedented feat of striking a happy medium between military preparedness and a healthy national economy in a colossal war of 'nerves.'" The committee declared it "refuses to be alarmed at the unconfirmed reports of failures to maintain a minimum of national safety." A committee aide said that was an allusion to findings by the Senate Armed Services Preparedness subcommittee, which said in a report last week: "Deliveries on defense hard goods—planes, tanks, ships and guns—have fallen dangerously behind schedule. We are not achieving as rapidly as possible the minimum necessary force essential for the security of the United States." Both the Joint committee and Frying Chickens 69c Manor House.

LEMON ST., ANAHEIM A committee also said that was an allusion to findings by the Senate Armed Services Preparedness subcommittee, which said in a report last week: "Deliveries on defense hard goods—planes, tanks, ships and guns—have fallen dangerously behind schedule. We are not achieving as rapidly as possible the minimum necessary force essential for the security of the United States." Both the Joint committee and the Preparedness subcommittee were set up to keep an eye on defense production. Each unit operates independently of the other. The Joint committee said in its report today it agrees with defense mobilizer Charles E. Wilson, who told the group last week the munitions program is making all the progress that could reasonably be expected. At the same hearing, Acting Secretary of Defense William C. Foster went along with Wilson on that. "Under the circumstances," the Joint unit said, "your committee cannot reasonably conclude that the nation has failed to maintain its minimum military strength in an effort to place butter before guns." Food Prices Reach New High in Poll WASHINGTON (UP) — Retail food prices reached a new high on Nov. 15, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. The Bureau's index hit 231.2 based on an eight-city survey. The index uses the 1935-1939 average as 100. Between Oct. 20 and Nov. 15 prices for fresh fruits and vegetables rose 7.8 per cent, dairy products 2.2 per cent, and lamb 1.5 per cent. Eugene O'Neill in Hospital, Very Ill BOSTON (AP)—Playwright Eugene O'Neill, whose works won him the Nobel and three Pulitzer prizes, was reported in poor condition early today at Faulkner hospital. He is suffering from Parkinson's disease, described as a deterioration of the nerve centers. O'Neill was reported as being so ill that only his wife, Carlotta Monterey, is permitted to visit him. The 63-year-old dramatist, who has resided in a modest home in the seashore town of Marblehead for the past three years, returned to the hospital last weekend after several previous visits. No one has been permitted in the O'Neill home recently except possibly, a few close personal friends, but as far as is known, O'Neill has done no writing since he was stricken some time ago. He won the $40,000 Nobel prize in literature in 1938 and the Pulitzer prize for drama in 1920 for "Beyond the Horizon," in 1922 for "Anna Christie," and in 1928 for "Strange Interlude." Dean Rusk to Head Large Foundation NEW YORK (AP) — Assistant Secretary of State Dean Rusk has been named president of the Rockefeller Foundation. Rusk's resignation from the government post is expected to be announced shortly. Rusk, who is Assistant Secretary for Far Eastern Affairs, is slated to take over one of the three largest foundations ever established in America. He was named last night to succeed Chester I. Barnard who reaches the mandatory retirement age of 65 next June. The Rockefeller Foundation has spent nearly half a billion since it was established in 1913 to support medical science, natural science, public health, social science and other endeavors. The foundation's current assets of $122,989,438 place it in the class with the Ford and Carnegie foundations. The Rockefeller foundation's expenditures, however, have been greater than those of the two larger foundations. Giant Earthquake Rocks Formosa TAIPEH, Formosa (AP)—Twenty earthquakes terrified residents of southeastern Formosa yesterday and snapped bridges like match sticks, reports reaching Taipen today said. Stretches of railroad track near Taitung were twisted out of shape. Heavy property damage was reported. But few people were hurt. A long series of recent quakes had forewarned them. The shocks centered on Taitung. Three of Wednesday's quakes were strong. Reports said Taitung's biggest building shook like jelly. It is a branch of the Bank of Taiwan (Formosa). People fled, screaming in horror. "The earth shook so violently," a Chinese newsman reported, "that people could hardly keep on their feet." The first big shock occurred in the morning. The two heaviest came in the afternoon in quick succession—at 2:58 and 3:09. The 2:58 shock was classed as grade six, the strongest type of earthquake on the scale used by Formosa seismologists. at SWANBERGERS Gifts Galore that settle the GIFT PROBLEM for HIM!
