British Recognition Of Reds Only 'Paper Relationship'
Washington—(U.P.)—Prime Minister Winston Churchill considers Britain's recognition of Red China only a "paper relationship."
Churchill doesn't intend to have his new Conservative government withdraw at this time the diplomatic recognition hastily granted by the late British Socialist government.
But he did promise President Truman, according to American officials, that Britain's recognition of the Chinese Communist regime will not stand in the way of British action with the rest of the free world to meet any threat of aggression by Red China.
Long Fight To Save Ship Appears Lost
Falmouth, England—(U.P.)—Capt. Henrik Kurt Carlsen and Mate Kenneth R. Dancy were taken aboard the tug Turmoil today when The Flying Enterprise started sinking under them.
The U.S. Destroyer Willard Keith radioed that the Enterprise, smashed by gale winds and triphammer seas, appeared to be sinking slowly.
Grange Asks Check Of Railroad Policy
Washington—(U.P.)The National Grange today called for careful re-examination of "our entire transportation policy" with an eye toward revamping federal railroad regulations.
In a letter to Gustav Metzman, chairman of the Eastern railroad presidents conference and president of the New York Central system, Grange Master Herschel D. Newsom said rising transportation costs coupled with increasing freight volume have brought financial difficulties to the railroads.
"It is all too evident," he said, "that railroad bankruptcy means eventual government ownership or government subsidy—neither solution is tolerable."
McLaughlin Leaves Million To Texas U.
Los Angeles—(U.P).—Oil developer Andrew Cyrus McLaughlin left the bulk of his $1,000,000 estate to the University of Texas under the terms of a will on file today in superior court.
His hand-written will, filed for probate Wednesday, directed that the estate be used by the university's school of medicine to establish and maintain fellowships for the investigation of infection and immunity.
Murray Lashes Steel Management
Washington—(U.P.)—CIO President Philip Murray accused the steel industry today of wanting its plants manned by "robots" who do not demand higher wages or "talk back" to management.
Murray charged that the industry ignores "human values" and "pushes around" the CIO United Steelworkers to a point of "rebellion."
Rescue Vessels Rush To Disaster Area
Seattle, Wash.—(U.P.) —Rescue vessels plowed at full speed through the stormy North Pacific today to reach 45 men adrift in lifeboats after abandoning the sinking American freighter Pennsylvania in "mountainous" seas.
Seven ships were en route to the Pennsylvania's position 700 miles off the Washington coast. They battled rain, snow and winds up to 35 miles an hour to reach the disaster scene.

Newest Independent Nation Holds Another Distinction
Washington—(U.P.)-Libya, the land where U.S. marines fought the Barbary pirates, “on the shores of Tripoli” 146 years ago, is not only the world's newest independent nation. It is also the poorest.
The 1,340,000 Arabs who exist in that sullen North Africa region manage to scratch only an average of yeet on their mountains, desertes and rocky mountains—the lowest per capita income in the world.
More than 90 percent can neither read nor write. A third have been afflicted and a tenth blinded by an infectious disease, trachoma.
The United States this year will supply $900,000 for UN projects and $1,150,000 for Point-Four technical assistance to help lift Libyan living standards.
Libya, nearly one-fourth the size of the United States, sprawls for 800 miles along the Mediterranean coast between Egypt on the east and Tunisia on the west.
Centuries ago great forests stood and jungle beasts roamed along its northern shores. But now great deserts reach all the way to the sea.
Less than five per cent of the land can be farmed and then only irregularly. There are two severe and two minor droughts every 10 years—and seldom a good season.
There is some fertile land in Tripolitania where farms can grow barley, figs, olives, oranges, and dates in good seasons. But in the rest of the country, the soil is bad.
In an effort to make a start toward improving conditions in Libya, the S. has launched a series of projects. This is the way they shape up;
Agriculture—the U.S. hopes to open two agricultural training schools in Tripiol and near Bengazi—the two capitals—by next August. Each will have about 200 students. Libya will supply the buildings but the U.S. will provide the teachers and pay most of the operating expenses. Point-Four also plans to establish five or six demonstration farms.
Education—Point-four will establish an advisory group to try to raise the level of general education. There now are only a handful of Libyan college graduates, no doctors, engineers, or even pharmacists.
Health—A U.S. public health service specialist has just completed a survey showing Libyan conditions to be incredibly bad. Point-Four will supply advisers to deal with the most urgent problems, especially trachoma.
