The Battalion College Station (Brazos County), Texas PAGE 2 Tuesday, November 27, 1956 Odd Accident Claims Dorsey While Asleep GREENWICH, Conn.—(TP) Bandleader Tommy Dorsey died yesterday in his sprawl ing- $130,000 mansion, appar ently the victim of a bizarre accident while he slept. An air of mystery surrounded the death of the bespectacled “sen timental gentleman of swing.” Dorsey, 51, and his brother, Jim my, were familiar to millions of music lovers the world over. The mystery was perhaps brought about by one of Dorsey’s own erratic habits^—one of writing notes. When police entered the home today, they found a note to his third wife, Janie, who was divorcing him. Added to that, too, was the difficulty of telling ex actly what happened to the famous trombonist in the night. . Dr. C. Stanley Knapp, medical examiner, said Dorsey choked to death on food particles which he apparently threw up in his sleep. What caused Dorsey to become ill or why he did not waken will probably always remain unknown. Lost and Found Auction Slated Annual Lost and Found Auction will be held Tuesday, at 7 p.m. in the Fountain Room of the MSC.

Removal of Wrecks Opens Suez Canal CAIRO, Egypt, (A 3 ) — Gen E. L. M. Burns announced yesterday plans for expanding the base for his growing U. N. police force in the Suez Canal zone. At the same time dispatches from Port Said reported the first of 13 ships, trapped in the canal since the beginning of 'hostilities, had been freed by the removal of wrecks. The British announced that the north end of the canal had been unplugged by the opening of a 160-foot wide channel, 25 feet deep through an arc of sunken ships in Port Said harbor. Shortly after, the 10,500-ton British-owned Lib erty ship Harpagon steamed thru the opening in the wake of the British minelayer Manxman. The Port Said dispatches quo ted British officials as saying six and possibly 10, more ships in the canal could now get out—-if the Egyptians do not object.

Two others, including the 22,- 610-ton Liberian-registered Cities Service tanker, Statue of Liberty, were too large, however, to ma neuver through the present open ing. The Egyptians have opposed the canal-clearing operations be fore British and French forces withdraw from Egypt, and the Egyptian held southern stretch of the waterway remains tightly plugged. It will take months to open it. Gen. Burns, Canadian comman der of UNEF (U.N. Emergency Force) told a news conference he hopes to establish his headquar ters near Qantara in the canal zone “within a relatively short time.” Qantara is 35 miles south of Port Said and close to the cease fire line at El Cap. At the same time, he said, ar rangements had been made to take over three camps between Qan tara and Ismailia as an assembly area for the U. N. police force. Abu Suweir, air base near Ismai lia, will continue to serve as a transit camp for the U.N. units ar riving by airlift. r-r-. .* * m * * *+*•*.* „ i Mu DM N UM9BI?
