the hnrsa over a short cut home
while iier mother and three
younger children relumed in the
tar by a longer route.
Mrs. Weron reached home first
and saw her daughter approaching
on the horse. But the storm caught
Sharon and her pony about 150
leet from the house.
Boston's Happiest
FamUy-O'ReiUys
From Placentia
BOSTON (AP)-At home with the
O'Reillys is at home with happiness—despite the fact the mother
of the family has only ona arm.
The youngest O'Reilly is Richard. He's two months old and
already his happy gurgles seem to
suggest he realizes he's a member
of a cheerful clan.
Richard is the 10th child of Mr.
and Mrs. Richard O'Reilly, both 33.
The O'Reillys were bom in Argentia, Nfld. They came to Boston six
years ago. The father works as a
soil tester.
Nine of their children are alive.
Each Is tealthy and happy.
..Mrs. O'Reilly does all her own
washing, housework and cooking.
She performs these tasks so skillfully it's hard to believe onc arm
is missing.
NOT HANDICAP SHE SAYS
The attractive rnother was born
with her left arm missing below
the elbow. However, she's never
considered this a handicap.
"I can do anything with one arm
that1 other people "do with two."
She backs up this claim daily as
she changes her babies with ease
and hangs out five clothes lines of
wash with speed. '
Tha O'Reilly hearth is warmed
by the laughter of Gerald, 13:
Clara, .12. Margaret, 11 Anthony,
10 Constance, 9 Ann Marie, 4,
Mary, 3, Theresa, 22 months, and
now Richard.
"We don't have too much
money," Mrs, O'Reilly says, "but
I'll bet we're the happiest family
you ever heard of.
"It's children that make a family
happy, I'm looking forward to having 10 more—I mean it. There's
nothing like babies around the
house. I'd advise every woman to
have a lot of children—If she
wants a lot of happiness."
"Their Names Liveth For Evermore".

What has happened in the last

For them, and perhaps for the
country, it means that the current

and relatively law strikes will continue.

LIVERPOOL, Eng. (Reuters) — Some 7,000 dock
workers voted Sunday night
to resume work- today, heralding the collapse of a
strike which has. tied up six
English ports for six weeks.
Strikers at Liverpool and nearby
porLs had until now resisted urging by fellow strikers in London lu
call off ilia strike.
The slrike which left 171 vessels
idle and 90 -undermanned, was
called in a bid to obtain negotiating rights in ports outside London
for the small Stevedores Union.
Most dock workers outside London
are members of the huge Transport Workers Union.
At Hull, on the northeast coast,
where about 1,600 men have been
Idle, a mass meeting Sunday night
also decided to resume work today.    .
TWO CONDITIONS
Strikers at Liverpool-voted over-
whelmlngly to resume work but
attached two conditions—that they
should remain members of the
Stevedores Union and that nobody
should be victimized.
The second condition Is common
form in ending British industrial
disputes but the bid to remain
members of the Stevedores Union
defies the decision of trade union
leaders last week arbitrated
the inter-unloii wrangle. ■
The arbitrators ruled that the
union must give up the estimated
10,000 members ft has recruited
since last year in five ports-' outside London,
HUMILIATION AND INSULTS
■ Bitter words flew hard through
Sunday night's 90-minute meeting.
Delegates who had returned north
after taking part In "peace talks"
in London branded the action of
their executive committee in ordering a return to work as
"treacherous."
.The vote to return to work' followed . growth of an unofficial port
workers* committee which said the
stoppage 'had become futile bo
cause more men were at work
than on strike.

Of Mighty Air Power
Development Of Long-Range
Striking Poiver Seen (Nfld. Soldier
Injured In .
MOSCOW (Reuters)—A new jet transport plane, a
huge twin-engine helicopter and two new types of jet
fighters were shown Sunday as Russia paraded her might
of the jet era in the annual air display at Tushino airport
near Moscow.
Western observers, noting the
appearance nf many iiilei'tjoutllien*
tal turbu-prop and jut multi-engine bomlwrs., said this indicates
a rapid development In Soviet
long-range striking power.
Russia's air chief marshal, P. F.
Hlgarev, opened the display and
said the Soviet Union has first-
class modern aircraft capable of
flying long distances at high
speeds and in unfavorable weather
conditions.
PROTOTYPE LIKE COMET
The display was clipped by a
surprise flypast of Russia's new
jet transport with swept --back
wings, Unannounced on the official
programme, the silver twin-jet
transport arrived at the end of
the so-minute display.
About lhe same size as Britain's
Comet, it is believed to be the
prototype of the Soviet jet airliner
although it may also be intended
for use as a military transport.
Its appearance followed a story in
the newspaper literary gazette Saturday which said the Soviet, air
line A^rflot will be riylug air liners between Mosiiiiw. jtmi Peiping
"In a year or two."
Thirty-six single-engine helicopters and four big new twin-engine copters, believed capable of
carrying 25 to 30 fully armed men,
took part.
WOMEN START DISPLAY
The aerobatic display began
with nine Yak-18 planes piloted by
women. Then seven big bombers
with swept-back wings.'each powered by four turbo-prop engines,
roared across the field,
■Fifty new twin - jet fighters
screamed across the field at 500
feet. They were followed by 47
new single-jet fighters, apparently

Tribal
Unrest
CAIRO (Reuters) — A
mass air-lift Sunday kept
up a steady flow of, crack
British troops from the Suez
Canal zone into Aden, bolstering the desert protectorate's small military forw
against tribal unrest.
IUF transports began an airlift
Friday and about 1,600 British
troops now are at the ready i»
th-2 RAF regiment's barracks at
Khormaksar, about four milci
from the port of Aden, and mora
are expected.
The move is described as" a precautionary measure after recent
clashes with rebel tribesmen. Behind much of the trouble in tht
protectorate is a territorial dispute between Britain and the
neighboring Yemen, whom Britain
has accused of giving asylum and
support to tribe:«men in revolt. The
Yemen has denied this.
Up to now, Aden's uncharted
frontier wilh the Yemen has been
policed by a small detachment of
tha RAF regiment and 2,000 Arab
recruits.
CLASHED LAST WEEK
AU was reporled quiet Sunday
In the eastern protectorate where
Bedouin tribesmen and troops of
the Mukalla government clashed
last waek.
Aden, rocky -'Gibraltar" of the
eastern approaches to the Red Sea,
ha? long enjoyed a privileged position. Around the 75 square miles
of the British colony of Aden 1U
a group of Arab states ■ covering
about ll2.000\square miles which
make up the protectorate. These
states-are governed "by their own
rulers—sultans, sheikhs, amils and
aquils—who. advised by British
political officers, produce their
own annus! budgets and now are
building kJwIs and climes to improve living conditions.
Reports from Aden say one reason for the alleged interference
from tbe Yemen appears to' be the
fenr that recent developments in
Aden protectorate will make Yemen's claim to sovereignty over
disputed areas less attractive to
the inhabitants.

Dulles ,is said to believe it may

tackling the problem of balancing
gradually reducing armaments in
Europe.
GRADUAL REDUCTION
Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov
has seemed in public comment to
be hinting at a possible step-by-
step reduction of foreign forces in
East and West Germany. Western
leaders consider this a possibly
feasible way to restore conditions
in G3rmany to more nearly normal.
. It is understood that if the
Soviets show ■ a real interest In
German unity bul indicate fear
the. West might convert East Germany into a military ba.se, the
Western powers might unttertake
assurances ' that East Germany
would be part of a deal to get
Germany united on terms acceptable for the West;-
Another   phase   of   ncsolialions
which could, follow tha Geneva'con
ference might involve the broader
jssue of global arms reduction.
Officials here believe  Russia's
armament costs are relatively far
heavier than those of the United
States because they say the America ii economy is three to four
limes as productive as that of Russia.
