L.T. bUNQCQ — SEPTE?JBER 14 T 1955; Good Evening, Everybody:- It seeras that no sooner is one party of trans- Atlantic fliers found and rescued than we have to start worry­ ing about another, in soite of the fact that this ocean-hopping stunt has gone a bit sour. Anyhow, neoole have been scanning the oarers for news of the monoplane called THE AMERICAN NURSE, the one with the two men and a woman bound for Rome. Oh yes, and there a woodchuck on board, but no children this time. a disnatch to the New York World-Telegram reports that the steamshi o B’ranee, of the French Mne, oassed a monoplane headed East at about ten minutes to one this afternoon. The France at the time was about 450 miles west of Lands End, which Is the southeastern tip of England. There is s )me uncertainty as to whether this olane actually was THE AMERICAN NURSE. The navigating officer of the French liner described the olane as aluminum colored. Oixicia^s of Floyd Bennett Field explain that the American Nurse is not aluminum but nainted white. At a distance the refraction oi the sunfs rays mi'ht make it look like aluminum. A keen lookout is beinr kept for The American Nurse o in Portugal, t'pain f id France. -?6ow may expect As. nev'S about this monoplane almost any minute. Residents of .reenRand today were expressing surprise that the Hutchinson family, the flying Hutchinsons, escaped injury when their amphibian was forced down in the open sea. People familiar with th dangerous moods of those northern waters, feel it was almost a miracle that the party which included Mrs. Hutchinson and her two small daughters, Wen the xelh stout trawler which rescued them had to move with the utmost caution through the dangerous ice floes. A dispatch to the Pittsburgh Press relates today that it vas a blizzard which caused the Hutchinsons to crash. after twenty-four hours* exposure, the flying family found themselves rather weak. But the problem fcfceat faces^them ~t£jLy » today is ho;; to get away from ihere are no liners running from Angraagssalik to American ports. As th:ir plane is wrecked J A obviously they canrt fly back. Captain -Batson, the mcSfcer of the Lord iallot who saved the Hutchinsons, has been authorized by his owners to take them to Aberdeen in Scotland. But this canft happen until the Lord Talbot finishes its three weeks1 fishing cruise in the Greenland waters, - ~ tKs^ ww|> ^ ^ An extraordinary ship was launched this afternoon, bhe may revolutionize the transportation of freight by water. Bhe is a vessel capable of carrying a train more than a mile long. She was launched at the vards of the Sun Shiubuilding andDrydock Company at Chester, Pennsylvania. She’s the first all­ freight steamship to be built in America since the war. And almost the first of her kind ever built. Her name is SEATRAIN - NEW YORK, she was ouilt at a cost of a million, six hundred thousand dollars. She’ll take no less than one hundred loaded freight cars at a time. A sister ship called SEATRAIN - HAVANA,” will be launched a week from today. These extraordinary vessels were designed by Graham Brush. They are four-deckers. On each deck is a quarter of a mile of railroad track. A powerful crane transfers freight cars from deck to deck. The transfer of a full cargo takes only twenty—four hours, about one—sixth of the time required to unload from an ordinary freight shin the same amount oi cargo. These shins will ply between New York and New Orleans and Havana. Up-state lAfev/ Yorkers are making strenuoas efforts to bring about the builting of the long proposed international bridge across the St. Lawrence River into Canada. e Bridge Commission held a hearing today at Ogdensburg. New York. Deputations of citizens from the northern part of State asked the Commission to borrow money from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to finance the building of this international bridge.

A citizen had been employed for many years by the post-office in the telephone department. Telephones are government owned in France and under the jurisdiction of the Postmaster General. A dispatch A to the New York Evening Post reports that this veteran employee was discharged. V.hat was more, he was convinced that he was unfairly fired. So he decided to get even. He organized a gang consisting of a tinker, a road manager, a mechanic and a laborer. With these he then went into Normandy and proceeded to mix up the telephones of that region to a fare thee well. With these skilled artisans he had no difficulty in mixing up hundreds of lines. Having still his credentials as an employee of the telephone department of the post office, he had ready access to the places where he could do the most damage. employee and his crew had all of Normandy almost crazy.

Moreover the amount is increasing. This information is compiled from a survey of police records in thirty-five key x cities of the United States. Chicago, which her mayor ^ony Cermak has proclaimed the most moral city in the worlo, leads the list. In Chicago 35,000 cars were stolen last year, at an estimated value of ten million dollars.
