Axe Falls on Con Thousands Work to Build Dikes as New Floods Near LONDON UK — Tens of thousands of troops and volunteers battled to reinforce the dikes of Britain, Holland and Belgium Thursday as an approaching zero hour brought grave threats of new floods. The three-nation alert to meet the ominous mounting of the season's highest tides coincided with violent blizzards which created havoc in four other countries—west Germany, France, Sweden, and Denmark. The blizzards, the worst in years, were in their fifth straight day in some places. England had its worst traffic dislocation in year. Only one main road remained open from Manchester northward to Scotland. Drifts, 12 feet deep in places, blocked the others. Hit Peak Sunday Along the Dutch, British and Belkian north sea coasts, devastated by floods and storms that days ago, a new threat arose from the spring tides. These tides will hit their peak Sunday, Monday and Tuesday and if lashed by gales might break over weakened dikes. General gale warnings were posted for the next 12 hours for the British east coast. Along the British coast, 24,000 servicemen and volunteers worked to fill in broken dikes and reinforce weakened places. A 20-plane airlift rushed three million sandbags from the contiguous flood duty in Norfolk. Scores of helicopters were prepared to help in any evacuation. Holland got forecasts of strong winds along her flood - battered coast, with snow and freezing temperatures. Belgium ordered a state of emergency along the seaside, requiring industrial and other organizations to keep on 24-hour duty relays of workers equipped to meet an emergency. On the continent blizzards swept northern France and blocked roads in the Ardennes area of Belgium. A few villages in the Brussels area were flooded by rising rivers. Huge snowdrifts paralyzed traffic in Denmark, the Schleswig-Holstein area of northern Germany and Sweden.

Investigators Probe Fairhope Mystery LOS ANGELES (UP)—Terror on the high seas, climaxed by the grounding of the 438-foot freighter Fairhope in Mexican waters. Gambling, fighting, narcotics, and the probably murder of the chief steward. Those were the ingredients Thursday of a real-life mystery story as gripping as any dreamed up by a nulp writer.

Hallman, 38, of Ocean City, Md., told reporters the situation was so tense that he and the other members of the 40-man crew not on watch locked themselves in their quarters each night.

But his wife, at her Maryland home, said he told her the ship's compass had been tampered with. She said he told her there was evidence of narcotics aboard—"They found needles and stuff in some of the men's rooms." And she said he told her some of the crew, just back from the Far East, "are the scum of the earth."

Missing is the chief steward, Carl Thurmond, 56, of Sibley, La., who apparently was beaten, stabbed and shoved through the 14-inch porthole in his cabin. Mrs. Hallman quoted her husband: "The FBI just about has the man, but they're not quite sure." FBI agents here declined comment on the slaying, the narcotics or the matter of the fouled compass.

Thousands of Items IS GOOD IN ANAHEIM GAZETTE Wills 10 Workers Move Marks Start Toward Free Market WASHINGTON (UP)—The government Thursday scrapped federal price controls over thousands of items including eggs, poultry, soaps, gasoline, crude oil, newsprint and all rubber products. The order, effective immediately marks the Eisenhower administration's second big move within a week toward restoring the nation to a free-market economy. Workers Released Simultaneously, price stabilizer Joseph Frechill announced that dismissal notices will be handed out next Monday to about 2000 employees of the Office of Price Stabilization, effective March 15. Frechill said another package of decontrol orders may be expected within a few days. With Thursday's order, only about 17 per cent of the items going to make up the cost of living will remain under full control. Frechill said the items newly freed from curbs account for about 15 per cent of the government's wholesale price index. Major items still remaining under control include milk and dairy products such as butter and cheese; dry groceries, cigarets, beer; major metals including copper, aluminum, steel and nickel; lumber, industrial machinery, farm equipment; and major household appliances such as refrigerators, home freezers and stoves.

(AP Wirephoto) Democrats Scream as Sec. of Agriculture Frowns on Subsidies WASHINGTON (F)—Secretary of Agriculture Benson has stirred up a hornets' nest of Democratic criticism on Capitol Hill by telling farmers they should depend more upon themselves than upon government subsidies in the future. "Shocking" and "an insult to the farmers" was the way Sen. Murray D-Mont reacted to a speech made by Benson in St. Paul, Minn., Wednesday night. Sen. Maybank D-SC said Benson showed "a lack of common sense" in shaping farm policies and demanded that he be summoned before the Senate Banking committee, which handles farm price support legislation. "God Help the Farmer" "If this speech is an indication of the policy thinking on the part of the new secretary," Maybank said, "then God help the poor hard working dirt farmers of this country because they certainly will not find a friend in the Department of Agriculture." It was Benson's first formal speech as a cabinet member, although he had voiced the same views at a news conference last week. Addressing farmer members of the Central Livestock Association, Benson said: Should Avoid Subsidies "Price supports should provide insurance against disaster. Those that encourage uneconomic production, resulting in continuing heavy surpluses and subsidies, should be avoided." "Inefficiency should not be subsidized in agriculture or any other economy, and relief programs should be operated as such. Too many Americans are calling on Freehill said the items newly freed from curbs account for about 15 per cent of the government's wholesale price index. Major items still remaining under control include milk and dairy products such as butter and cheese; dry groceries, cigarets, beer; major metals including copper, aluminum, steel and nickel; lumber, industrial machinery, farm equipment; and major household appliances such as refrigerators, home freezers and stoves. Some Hikes Seen OPS officials predicted some price hikes will result from Thursday's order, notably on gasoline, crude oil and tires and tubes. They said prices on other items will probably not be affected since many of them are already selling below ceiling lids. The agency had previously indicated that price curbs would be lifted from milk, but a last-minute decision kept it under control for the time being. Nation Taking Turn in Road, Sen. Kuchel Says LAKEWOOD (F)—America has been taxed mercifully, controlled senselessly and interfered with generally." California's junior U.S. Senator, Thomas Kuchel, said in an address Thursday. "But we have come now to a turn in the road." Firm Policies The Eisenhower administration has embarked the nation on a course of firm domestic and foreign policies, he declared, and added: "We propose to follow a policy designed to balance the federal budget, reduce federal expenditures, vigilantly work toward the earliest possible reduction in federal taxes—all within the framework of an expenditure program which frankly acknowledges the needs of our defense." Kuchel reported he has joined with Virginia's Democratic Senator, Harry Byrd, as co-author of a budget proposal. Would Limit Spending It would wrap all expenditures into one bill, require annual expenditure estimates compared with revenues, and limit spending by controlling the backlog of unspent appropriations. Turning to another topic, the senator observed, "It appears, thank God, that the days of the disloyal in government are gone. This administration will be American and only Americans will conduct its business." In honor of Scout week, Paxton told the Optimists, and their guests that if all the scouts in the U.S. were stretched hand to hand, the link would carry from California to the tip of Maine. There are more boys who would like to become scouts than leaders to supervise them, he said. In referring to the international scout jamboree, Paxton said that among the 50,000 scouts who will swarm over the 3000 acres on the Irvine ranch will be 2000 scouts representing 17 foreign countries. Entertainment was provided the Optimists by a pair of hula dancers, Doris Rouland and Bette Ulrick, vocalist Edith Browne Schuman, and accordion player Donny Salceda Mrs. Schuman was accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Walt Goodman.

Daily Living for Peace of Mind Editor's note: This is one of a series of daily articles by Anselm ministers and is published by the Gazette in the interest of the kind of daily living that leads to contentment and happiness in troubled times. The Comfort of a Touch By Rev. Win. McKINLEY WALKER Wesley Methodist Church "Why do you take that old rag doll to bed with you every night? asked a father of his small daughter, a wee little girl. "So's I can reach out and touch somebody in the dark," was her innocent reply. Don't we all, when the darkness of sin and sorrow settles around us, wish we could reach out and touch someone in the darkness of our despair? O, but we can. We DO have Somebody Whom we can reach with our prayers, and so change our despair into hope. We have the promise of the Savior in so many different places in the Good Book. that He will not leave nor forsake us, and help us in all of our troubles. The philosophy of the old Negro preacher helps us here. He prayed, "O Lord, You know that You never let any trouble come to us but what You and us can work out together." That's it. Give Him a chance at your life before the day of sorrow comes, and you can reach out and touch Him in your darkness."
