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.

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. These

registry.
Two others, including the 22,-

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.
