J
Chicago, Oct. 20. Of—Former
Mayor Edward J. Kelly, longtime
"bos*” of Chicago’s Democratic ma-
chine, died todhy in a doctor’*
office.
Kelly, 74, had been ailing and
suffered a heart attack several
months ago.
He was stricken in his apartment
and was taken to a doctor’s office
nearby.
The first announcement of Kelly’s
death came from the office of May-
or Martin H. Kennelly, a ’‘Reform’’
Democrat who succeeded Kelly in
1947.
At the time of hia death Kelly
was Democratic national commit-
teeman from Illinois. Some political
observers believed Kennelly now
would get the job.
Colorful Figure
Kelly was a colorful figure in the
turbulent political life of the na-
tion's second city, and was a power
in national politics at well.
He served** mayor for 14 years,
the longest any mayor has served
in the city’s history. Hie tenure
covered depression, recovery, war
and postwar period.
In 1947 he was persuaded to step
aside for Kennelly, wjio waa given
a better chance to wifi the election
against a Republican trend.
But Kelly had been boss of one of
the nation’s strongest political or-
ganizations, and he remained an
influence in Democratic circles.
His death, on the eve of the No-

veanber elections, may precipitate a
factional fight within party rknks.
From Teeming West Side
Kelly was a product of the “back
of the yards” packing house area
of Chicago’s teeming West Side.
He had only five years of formal
schooling, but he studied on his own
and gained a reputation as a com-
petent engineer.
He began his 64 years on the pub-
lic perron* by working on • s***«r Tuc*on, Art*., gunner. -*
project. From this humble start he
rose to head the powerful Chicago
sanitary district, with which he
spent 40 years.
His tenure as chairman of the
sanitary district and as mayor cov-
ered a period of unprecedented ex-
pansion in Chicago’s history, and
Kelly’s yen for engineering and
construction found expression in
the building of many public iro-
provements.
Kelly was credited with a promi-
nent role in persuading the late
Franklin D. Roosevelt to run for a
third term. Ia 1944, Kelly was the
behind-the-scenes figure credited
with masterminding the loud-
speaker campaign which influenced
the delegates to the Democratic
convention to nominate Rooeevelt
again.

Segufn, Oct. 20, W*—Air Force
authorities said today a fuel leak
may have caused a B-29 Super-
fortress to explode in the air and
crash into a field near here, killing
all eight men aboard.
A spokesman at Randolph Air
Force Base at San Antonio, the
plane’s home field, said the craft
was on a routine training mission
and carried no bombs or live am-
munition.
Exploded Twice
Brig. Gen. Carl B. McDaniel,
commander of Randolph, said evi-
dence indicated '"an explosion oc-
curred while the plane was in the
air and another explosion occured
when it struck the ground.”
He said the first explosion pre-
sumably resulted from a fuel leak
“or something of that nature.”
Earlier reports yesterday said
seven men died in the crash, but a
check list at Randolph showed
eight aboard.
McDaniel said the plane was 30
miles to the southwest of the Ran-
dolph control- tower when it made
its last radio report—that it was
climbing through a cloud bank at
5,000 feet altitude.
Two railroad section hands said
they heard the plane’s engines
sputtering before the crash, which
rattled window panes and shook
houses in Seguin, two miles to the
southwest.
Seguin is some 40 miles north-
east of San Antonio.

the dead were:

Washington, Oct. 20, flfi—The
government ordered more rubber
and stainless steel set aside for
defense today, and distillers agreed
voluntarily to divert alcohol to
the preparedness program.
The National Production Auth-
ority ordered use of natural sn *
synthetic rubber for civilian goodt
cut back in November and De
cember to 84 per cent of each in-
dustrial user’s monthly average
fbr the year ended last June 30.
That would limit civilian Rub-
ber use to 90,000 tons a month
for the rest of this year. The same
goal was attempted in a previous
cutback ordered issued in August.
But because of adjustments and
allowances, September rubber use
for non-defense purposes stayed
close to 110,000 tons.
The new curtailment was made
praticularly stiff on civilian users
of natural rubber, whose November
and December allotments were cut
to 75 and 63 per cent, respectively,
of the base period figure.
NPA officials estimated that
would provide '53,000 tons of na-
tural rubber for defense purposes
in the two months.
GUARD COMPANY
TO START DRIVE
FOR RECRUITS
In conjunction with national and
state programs, Company D of the
To—- WtoiMWi Guard will oesdagt^-
a recruiting campaign be,
eginning
Oct. 23 and extending through
Nov. 11.
The aim of the recruiting drive
will be to bring the strength of
the company up to 112 enlisted
men. The recruiting committee for
the coippany is composed of Sfc.
Billy Stafford, Sgt. Bob Nichols,
Sgt. Don Higgins, Cpl.’ Doyle
Chambers, Cpl. James Wells and
Pfc. Charles Holbrook.
Open House Planned
In order to acquaint elegibie
men with the National Guard the
committee has planned an open
house, downtown displays, direct
mail campaign %nd talks at the
college and civic clubs. The cam-
paign will be concerned mostly
with young men of draft age who
can join the National Guard and
train at home. Any man between
the ages of 17 and 35, who can
qualify, may enlist in the guard.
Young men who have registered
l the draft but have not received
eir induction notice may join
e local company train here at
the armory.
In addition to the recruiting
campaign to be conducted locally
the committee will send teams to
Dublin and other surrounding
towns, 1st Lt. J. Louis Evans, com-
manding officer, said.
They said the new restrictions
should not cause . a tire shortage
end that tires for the rest of the
year will be of about the same
:uality as those manufactured pre-
viously.
New rubber allotments for 1951
■will be issued later for civilian
users, probably cutting back their
supplies still further and requir-
ing more synthetic in automobile
tires. But Earl W. Glen, director
of NAP’s rubber division, said
that in any event motorists will get
better tires than those made dur-
ing the World War II rubber
shortage.

MURDER JURY DEADLOCKED
Lyndon, Oct. 20 (VP)—A Fifth Dis-
trict Court jury deliberated more
than 24 hours here before report-
ing deadlocked last night in the
murder trial of Jess Warren. He
was charged with shooting Rufus
A. Penn, 79, during a street comer
religious service at Atlanta, Tex.,
Oct 15, 1948.
The rubber order was issued by
NPA Chief William H. Harrison.
Harrison also ordered the en-
tire production of columbium stain-
less steel set aside for military or
Atomic Energy Commission uses.
The steel which is highly-resistant
to corrosion, is used primarily in
high combusion chambers and in
the processing of certain chemicals.
Civilian use was not expected to
be affected much by the diversion.
The idea in the new rubber order
is to force manufacturers to use
larger amounts of the synthetic
type in automobile tires and other
products.
Government officials have said
there is no prospect of a shortage
of automobile tires. But the gov-
ernment’s stock-piling program of
natural rubber—vital in war—has
been lagging.
The nation's whiskey distillers,
meanwhile, agreed at the govern-
ment's request to divert 15 to 20
per cent of their monthly produc-
tion to industrial alcohol for the
synthetic rubber program.
Informed sources said that
would take 4,000,000 to 6,000,000 I
gallons a month from the distilling
industry for the rest of this year.
The columbium stainless steel
order was not expected to have
any serious effect on consumer
goods production, because of the
special-purpose nature of colum-
bium steel. It specified that some
non-defense orders containing that
steel can be filled if they were
placed prior to the new cutback.

amounting to $105,000,000 that can
be covered solely by an extra-

Paratroopers Close Trao
G*n. Douglas Mac Arthur, who
watched appreciatively from his
personal plane as the parachutes
bloomed over the rice paddies, said:
‘It looked perfect to me. It look-
ed like it closed the trap. With the
dosing of that trap, that should
be the end of the organized resist-
ance. The war is very definitely
coming to an end shortly.”
The United Nations divisions
stamping out the last nests of re-
sistance in Pyongyang sent their
vanguard northward to crush the
fleeing Communists on the anvil
of the paratroopers’ lines of Suk-
chon and Sunchon, 25 to 30 miles
northeast of Pyongyang.
Within 40 minutes of the air-
borne landing, the U. S. para-
troopers had organized into skir-
mish lines, and were solidly en-
trenched on the highways over
which the Communists were flee-
ing.
Capital Now Secured
A U. S. Army spoKestnan re-
ported that Pyongyang was se-
cured. He said American and South
Korean troops were mopping up in

enemy garrison had fled north
leaving nothing but ynipers and
small groups of doomed Commu-
nists who had had no chance to

Dispatches from Pyongyang said
the city, second biggest in Korea,
did not appear to be damaged as
badly as many others that were

air attacks or in the feeble de-
fense.

Florida West Coast Again
Prepares for Hurricane

Tampa, Fla., Oct. 20. (IP)—The
U. 8. Weather Bureau today or-
dered the Florida west coast to pre-
pare immediately for a hurricane
with winds that already were
churning at 90 miles an hour or
higher.
The hurricane, now located 300
miles west of Fort Myers, Fla., was
moving along at a 15 to 20-mile clip
and was expected to hit between
Cedar Keys, Fla., and Fort Myers.
The Miami Weather Bureau said
late reconnaissance reports said the
hurricane now had 90 miles-an-
hour winds and evan higher in
gusts.
“All interests on th* west Florida
coaet south of Coder Keys to the
Fort Myers arse should take all
emergency hurricane precautions
immediately,” Storm Forecaster
Grady Norton warned.
The hurricane apparently was
pointing its fury at the Tampa-St.
Petersburg area, the largest popu-
lation center on the west coast.
It was the second hurricane of
the week for the storm-battered
Florida peninsula. The gold coast
of Miami and the entire east cen-
tral section still waa cleaning up
from a 125-mile-an- hour hurricane
that caused $15,000,000 damages
Tuesday night and Wednesday.
The weather bureau said the gulf
storm had strong winds extending
outward 150 miles. These winds
were expected to reach the resort-
industrial wit coast by nightfall,
'am.
sack**
followed by hurricane winds a few
hours later.
Similar Labor Day Storm
A hurricane moved up this same
coast area on Labor Day, striking
inland at Cedar Keys on Sept. 5.
That storm caused $2,500,000 dam-
ages along the West coast, most of
it from extremely high tides that
washed away homes, roads and
property.
The New Orleans advisory re-
ported at noon that highest winds
were only 50 to 60 miles an hour
but the Miami Weather Bureau or-
dered the red and black flags hoist-
ed- when a hurricane plane was buf-
feted by sustained winds of 90
mils* an-, hour and gusts even
higher. 1
