wires on the latest news of the state, the nation's capital, nation and the world.

Around The State WAC in Hospital

Lucy Madigan, 24, a WAC ser­geant* is in a Granville hospital with a fractured leg suffered when she parachuted from an army training plane that ran out of gas near North Hebron during a storm.

State police said the plane crashed from an altitude of 10,000 feet Saturday night after the pilot, Lieutenant Richard Shea, had be­come lost while on a routine flight from Stewart Field, Newburgh, to Buffalo.

Shea, who also parachuted, es­caped injury and returned to Stew­art Field yesterday.

Differential Vp A butterfat differential of 5.4

cents for August milk in the New York metropolitan marketing area is predicted by Administrator J. C. Blanford, after more than a quar­ter century in which the differ­ential has amounted to a flat rate of four cents.

He also estimated that this months output would bring a uni­form price of $3.28 a hundred­weight to dairy farmers of the Hew York milkshed. Addition of production payments from the IT. S. department of agriculture at a minimum rate of 55 cents a hun­dredweight would bring the total of $3.83.

Dr. Blanford explained that the

new butterfat differential resulted from an amendment to the New York marketing program which became effective August 1.

Under the amendment, he said, dairy farmers with milk rich in butterfat will increase their share in the New York pool, while low-fat providers will receive a pro­portionately smaller amount of it. Consumers may expect a gradual but long-lasting enrichment of milk purchased, he added.

Arrivals Today Four transports, including two

vessels diverted from the Pacific, are scheduled to arrive today from Europe with 7,699 troops.

The diverted ships are the Gen­eral William F. Hase, with 3,047 troops, and the Exchange, carry­ing 1,950 men. Other transports are the John Plllsbury, 719 men, and the Coalsdale Victory, 1,983 men.

In The Nation's Capital VU Sayre To Wed

Senator Hart (R.-Conn.) and Mrs. Hart yesterday, in Washing­ton, announced the engagement of their daughter, Hariet Hart, to Lieutenant Francis B. Sayre, Jr., navy chaplain.

Miss Hart was graduated from the Masters school, Dobbs Ferry, and Vassar college, 1944. She is now with the office of strategic services in Washington.

Chaplain Sayre was graduated from Williams college in 1937 and the Episcopal Theological school in 1940. Before entering the navy in 1942 he was assistant minister at Christ church, Cambridge, Mass.

Chaplain Say re's father, the Hon. Francis B. Sayre, formerly high commissioner to the Philip­pines, is now abroad on a gov­ernment mission. His mother was

Jessie Woodrow Wilson, daugh­ter of the late president.

Stale Farms Gain Both the number of farms and

acreage in use are on the upswing in New York state, a 17. S. com­merce department survey indi­cates.

A partial report on the 1945 ag­ricultural census showed yesterday that the state had 1,143 more farms and 322,398 more acres in use than in 1940.

In the northeast, only New York and Maine had tendencies toward,] larger farms, the report disclosed. The Empire State's 60,035 farms and 6,548,665 acres of farmland topped corresponding figures from other northeastern states. •

The report covered 26 counties in the states.

News Of The Nation i m s e r sfwr reawe

The heavy cruiser Macon has become the first of America's maritime 'weapons for peace.

Her ekipper, Captain Edward E. (CQ) Pare of San Diego, Calif., told a crowd of 4,500 gathered at the Philadelphia navy yard yes­terday he hoped the vessel would play its role in the cause of peace.

The 13,000-ton cruiser was the first ship to be commissioned since Japan surrendered.

•This ship," asserted Captain W. L, Beck, chief of staff of the fourth naval district, "embodies all improvements of four years of war. That war is over. It is hoped the Macon will now help to es­tablish the

Earthquake Felt An earthquake of fairly sharp

intensity was felt in San Francisco at about M3 a. m. today. No dam­age report was immediately avail­able but objects were shaken from shelves.

Dr. Perry Byerly, University of California seimologist, said the quaqe was "average" for those felt in the San Francisco bay area

with little likelihood of property damage. j

1 Peeutiar € at Baby eats corn on the cob. Which is a* little odd, especially

considering that Baby is a Siamese kitten belonging to*J. C. Braly, an automobile locksmith. Braly, who bought the animal for his daughter, Joyce, 10, says the ani­mal has pecular tastes.

"She doesn't drink milk unless I make her and she hates fish," he said, ignoring the point of how he could make a cat drink if it didn't want to. "Baby likes meat, chicken if she's lucky, or beef if she can get it. I'd be ashamed to ask her to go chase a mouse."

Joyce demonstrated the cat's taste yesterday. She tied a napkin undfer Baby's chin, and Baby nib­bled daintily at some golden bantam, stopping several times in the procedure to wash herself, buttered, too.

But one of the little girls, Carole Olney, who watched the proceed­ings, sniffed as she left. "My cat," she said scornfully, "Eats water­melon."

NAVY'S WAR SALVAGE VALUED AT MILLIONS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27—{**>— Military and naval craft valued at millions of dollars, besides ap­proximately $000,000,000 worth of sunken merchant ships and cargo, were salvaged during the war, the navy announced today.

One of the last and largest jobs of naval salvage units before the Japanese surrender was the clear­ing of 600 vessels from Manila bay. Many of them had been sunk by American army and navy fliers before the Philippine invasion and others were scuttled by the Japa­nese.

The Manila bay job began im­mediately after the Lingayen gulf landings last January and was in full swing within two weeks, with 600 men and 60 officers engaged in the task while simultaneously fighting off Japanese snipers who would swim to the wrecks at night to pick off the salvage crews when they returned to work the next day.

And Child; 6 Hurt In Boat Blast

A 60-year-old woman and a 6-year-old girl are dead today, and a third woman is incrit-ical condition at Meadow-brook hospital as the result of highway accidents in Nassau county over the week end. Six others, injured in an explo­sion on a cabin cruiser in the water off Freeport, are also at the Meadowbrook h o s p i t a l this morning. "

The dead are Mrs. Athea Georgakcfkas, 60,, of 165 South Broadway, Yonkers, and Lenore J. Seaman, 6, of 24 Marlboro road, Oceanside.

Mrs. Georgakakas's daughter, Mrs. Pauline Soulians, of 30 Concord street, Westbury, with whom she was walking when they were struck by a car on Ellison avenue, Westbury, is in critical condition at the hospital. She re­ceived a fractured pelvis and other injuries.

The driver of the death-dealing car, Claude A. Ricketts, 36, of 1 Tuxedo avenue, New Hyde Park, was in county jail this morning awaiting grand jury action on the charge of reckless and negligent driving.

Lenore died as the result of in­juries she received when she lost her footing as she attempted to jump the running board of a truck in motion at Marlboro road, Oceanside, Saturday afternoon.

Six persons were burned, one critically as the result of an ex­plosion which occurred on a 32-foot cabin cruiser, "Flo Ben II" near the Bay of Fundy, off Free-port, yesterday afternoon, more than a mile offshore.

Those injured were Isaac Kleve, 72, of 21 Pond Park road, Great Neck; Louis Oppenheim, 45, own­er of the boat, and his wife, Sylvia Oppenheim, 4L of the Great Neck address; Sid Freedman, 45, of 25 Lefferts avenue, Brooklyn; Abra­ham Hecht, 47, and his wife, Sue Hecht, 45 of Mount Vernon.

Freeport police, who said the cause of the explosion had not been determined as yet, reported that after the explosion, several boats in the vicinity of the cruiser came to the rescue and carried the injured persons to shore. Firemen said they believed seeping gaso­line was ignited and caused the explosion.

A hurry call brought the Free-port and Roosevelt Are depart­ment rescue squads to the scene, in command of Chief Arnold Yon-gen and Walter Van Nostrand, and first aid was administered.

Dr. Lothar Katz of Freeport also aided in giving first aid until

JAPS ARRANGING RANGOONSURRENDER

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Arrangements for the formal

surrender of 200,000 or more en­emy troops in Southeast Asia were being completed here today by Japanese envoys who arrived yes­terday from Saigon for confer­ences with Admiral Lord Louis Mountbatten's officers.

The Japanese emissaries, who landed at Rangoon in two white planes marked with green crosses, were headed by Lieutenant Gen­eral Takazo Numata, chief of staff to Field Marshal Count Jufchi Terauchi, commander of Japan's southern armies.

Top negotiator for Mountbatten was his chief of staff, Lieutenant General F. A. M, Browning.

The negotiations were expected to continue today. It was hoped final surrender might be signed in Singapore simultaneously with General MacArthur's acceptance of the Japanese surrender in To­kyo.

The papers which are to be signed here tonight will not con­tain the actual surrender terms, it was learned, because Mountbatten is not empowered to dictate such terms until after the signing in Tokyo.

"Local agreement," however, will open the way for air and sea movements of occupation troops so as to eliminate all delay when the overall surrender is formalized. This agreement also will permit dispatch of airborne m e d i c a l teams to aid Allied prisoners of war in Japanese hands.

Winds Accompany Tropical Storm

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS A giant tropical hurricane,

laden with winds 100-railes-per hour or more, moved in­land over the Central Texas coast northeast of Corpus Christi between midnight and 4 a. m. (eastern war time) to­day, J. P. McCauliffe, U. S. weather bureau observer at Corpus Christi reported.

McAuliffe's report, issued about 7 a. m. (eastern war time) said the atorm hit the section about 30 milea.east of Corpus Christi, after lashing Port Aransas. By 7 a. m., Corpus Christi was out of the hur­ricane area, he added.

Moving North-Northeast The New Orleans weather bu­

reau reported in an, advisory timed 9 a. m. (central war time) that the gulf hurricane, with winds up to 100 miles per hour was centered on the Tekas coast near Port O'Connor. It was mov­ing a few miles per hour toward the north-northeast, a n d still theatening the upper Texas coast, the advisory said.

Hurricane winds buffeted towns in the storm's path. Very high tides swept against the shore.

More than 100 miles up the coast the dstrubance was making itself felt in turbulent weather and rising tides.

Corpus Christi was beginning to clean up today after a night of winds which reached 100 miles per hour. There were no official statements on damage, but un­official estimates htat it would not $100,000 in the city of Corpus Christi. Snarled communication delayed damage reports from other areas.

Police Chief L. C. Smith said no (paths or accidents. from the storm • were reported in Corpus

I" Christi. Power was off here. McCauliffe

said Winds in the Corpus Christi business section reached 90 miles an hour and winds over Corpus Christi bay reached 108 miles an hour.

Surging tides pushed sea water into coastal towns of the region as the storm struck. Much of the hug-tae-coast highway that leads from Corpus Christi to Houston was reported under water.

The advisori'es, saying the storm carried winds of 10-milles an hour near the center, warned of high tides end- heavy seas.

Power and communication lines snapped during the night hereand the gfeat winds roared through darkened streets. Hundreds of per­sons found refuge from the force of thf blow in public buildings and churches and hotels.

Port Aransas, across the bay on the exposed tip of sandy Mustang Island, felt the terrific fury of the hurricane when the storm moved just offshore before midnight. A tide 10 feet above normal sent four feet of gulf waters into the streets of the famed fishing vil­lage where once President Roose­velt went to catch tarpon.

Except for about 75 natives who refused to leave their homes, Mustang island had been evacu­ated before the storm and its fleet of fishing boats had been moved to safer harbors.

Get Look At Coastline The victorious fleet was clearly

visible to thousands of Japanese along the shore between Katase and Chigasaki.

American and British seamen, their faces and shirts moist witu perspiration, lined the decks for their first good look at the clearly visible Japanese coastline.

The first units of Halsey's occu­pation force, under Rear Admiral Oscar C. Badger, will enter Tokyo bay tomorrow through two and • half mile wide Uraga strait, line with 116 major caliber guns.

Two hours before entering Sa­gami bay, the Missouri took aboard the Japanese emissaries, headed by Captain Yoshihiko Ta-kasaki, staff officer of the Yoko-suka base, and Captain Inaho Otami, staff officer of the Tokyo naval department.

The Japanese reported progxes made in minesweeping both Sa­gami and Tokyo bays and re­ceived instructions for prepara­tion to be made for Thursday's landings at Yokosuka.
