Battle of Midway foundDeep-sea explorers and
historians looking for lost World
War II warships have found a
second Japanese aircraft carrier
that went down in the historic
Battle of Midway.
Rob Kraft, the director of
undersea operations for Vulcan,
said a review of sonar data
captured Sunday shows what
could be either the Japanese
carrier Akagi or Soryu resting in
nearly 18,000 feet below water in
the Pacific Ocean more than
1,300 miles northwest of Pearl
Harbor.
The researchers used an
autonomous underwater vehicle,
or AUV, equipped with sonar to
find the ship. The vehicle had
been out overnight collecting
data, and the image of a warship
appeared in the first set of
readings Sunday morning.
To confirm what ship they’ve
found, the crew will deploy the
AUV for another eight-hour
mission where it will capture
high-resolution sonar images of
the site.
The find comes on the heels of
the discovery of another Japanese
carrier, the Kaga, last week.
— Associated PressAVIATIONBoeing: FAA viewed
crash-linked softwareBoeing said it told U.S.
regulators “multiple times” that it
had expanded the role of flight-
control software later linked to
two fatal crashes, and that
Federal Aviation Administration
personnel observed the system in
flight tests before the 737 Max
was certified for service.The statement, posted online
Sunday, provided a broader
explanation to last week’s
bombshell revelation that a
former senior Boeing pilot had
described the Maneuvering
Characteristics Augmentation
System as “egregious” to a
colleague.
In an instant-message
exchange after a rocky simulator
run in August 2016, Mark
Forkner, now a Southwest
Airlines pilot, said he had
unknowingly “lied” to the FAA
about its behavior.
— Bloomberg NewsLOUISIANACranes toppled at site
of deadly hotel collapseOfficials set off explosions that
toppled two cranes Sunday that
had loomed precariously for days
over a partly collapsed hotel in
New Orleans, saying that their
controlled demolition went
“exactly” as planned and that
efforts now would focus on
retrieving two bodies still inside
the ruined building.
The fiery afternoon explosions
sent up massive clouds of dustand sent one crane crashing to
the street while the second fell in
a way that left much of it resting
atop the ruined hotel building,
where officials said it was “stable”
and could be removed piecemeal.
The partial collapse occurred
Oct. 12 at a Hard Rock Hotel that
was under construction near the
French Quarter. Three workers
died when several floors of the
building pancaked.
— Associated PressFire watch issued for Southern
Calif.: Southern California
remained on fire watch as high
temperatures, low humidity and
strong northerly winds continued
to pose a fire danger for much of
the region on Sunday. Red-flag
warnings for the mountains in
Santa Barbara, Ventura and Los
Angeles counties were to remain
in effect until 10 p.m., according
to the National Weather Service.
Mountains were expected to
experience gusts of up to 60 mph
with isolated gusts of 75 mph
near the peaks. Similar weather
was expected in the Santa Clarita
and San Fernando valleys, with
the foothills expected to see gusts
of up to 50 mph.

A dog is outfitted as Rihanna for the Tompkins Square Halloween
Dog Parade in Manhattan on Sunday. The parade contestants
competed for thousands of dollars in prizes.BY KAYLA EPSTEINThe cars came one by one,
down a gravel road and through
a cotton field, to the edge of the
Tallahatchie River and the spot
where, 64 years ago, Emmett
Till’s lifeless body was pulled
from the river. The vehicles car-
ried Till’s relatives, including a
cousin, community leaders, the
Rev. Wheeler Parker and advo-
cates dedicated to keeping his
memory alive.
The group had gathered on
Saturday at noon in the remote
spot near Glendora, Miss., to
dedicate yet another memorial to
Till. And this time, it was bullet-
proof.
It took 50 years to get the first
memorial to Till erected in Talla-
hatchie County, the site of the
lynching that was a spark in the
civil rights movement. But then,
an entirely new battle began:
keeping the tribute intact.
Saturday’s dedication un-
veiled the fourth marker that the
local nonprofit Emmett Till Me-
morial Commission had in-
stalled at the site since 2008,
when the original sign was stolen
and never recovered. A sheriff
suspected it had been thrown
into the river, not far from the
Graball Landing site where his-
torians say Till’s body had been
found.
The sign and similar markers
in the region have become a
frequent target for racist vandal-
ism and theft, with perpetrators
going to deliberate lengths to
deface Till’s memory.
The commission quickly erect-
ed a second sign at Graball
Landing, which stood until 2016.
By the time it was taken down by
the advocates that year, it had
been riddled with bullet holes for
years.
They replaced that sign with a
third, which lasted a mere 35
days before it, too, was shot up. It
remained standing until this
summer, when a photo emerged
that depicted three white Univer-
sity of Mississippi fraternity boys
posing next to the sign, grinning
as each clutched a gun.
But the same week the Ole
Miss photo emerged, the Lite
Brite Neon Studio in Brooklyn
had completed a new sign for the
riverside memorial, and the com-
mission was able to install it this
month.
The sign comes with protec-
tive glass and reinforced steel to
prevent vandalism, and for the
first time, the site will be moni-
tored by surveillance cameras.

AND DAVID WEIGELindianola, iowa — Sen. Eliza-
beth Warren said Sunday her
campaign will release a plan to
pay for the Medicare-for-all
health proposal she’s backed “in
the next few weeks,” but she
continued to deflect questions
about whether middle-class tax-
es would go up.
That promise comes after
weeks of attacks from other
Democratic candidates in the
presidential race, who say War-
ren is not being honest with
voters about how she would fund
the massive health-care plan.
The lag in unveiling a payment
plan speaks to the difficult posi-
tion Warren is in: She can either
offer some kind of large tax above
her wealth tax on the very rich or
be pegged as evasive about a
major element of her platform.
Both carry political risks.
“The cheapest possible way to
make sure that everyone gets
health care is Medicare-for-all,”
the senator from Massachusetts
said at the end of a town hall in
Indianola, attended by about 475
people. “What I see, though, is,
we need to talk about costs.” Over
“the next few weeks,” Warren
added, she will offer a proposal
for “specifically how we pay for
it.”
The Medicare-for-all legisla-
tion introduced by Sen. Bernie
Sanders (I-Vt.) in 2017 does not
lay out how the proposal would
be funded. A separate “white
paper” proposed some ideas, like
a 4 percent “premium” paid byfamilies making more than
$29,000 per year.
Sanders has not shied away
from telling voters they will have
to pay higher taxes under a
Medicare-for-all plan. But, he’s
said, that cost would be more
than offset by other savings.
“At the end of the day, the
overwhelming majority of people
will save money on their health-
care bills,” Sanders said at last
week’s debate in Ohio. “But I do
think it is appropriate to ac-
knowledge that taxes will go up.
They’re going to go up signifi-
cantly for the wealthy. And for
virtually everybody, the tax in-
crease they pay will be substan-
tially less than what they were
paying for premiums and out-of-
pocket expansions.”
Warren supports the Medi-care-for-all bill unveiled by Sand-
ers. But so far, she’s refused to say
taxes will go up for middle-class
families, even when asked direct-
ly.
As a result, she has been taking
fire on the cost question from her
Democratic rivals. In a Sunday
interview with CNN’s Jake Tap-
per, South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete
Buttigieg scoffed at the idea that
Warren might use “pay-fors” pre-
viously sketched out by Sanders.
“We need to see how this is
going to be paid for,” Buttigieg
said. “Right now, whether you
copy-paste the Bernie Sanders
math or do it some other way,
there is a hole amounting to
trillions of dollars in how this is
supposed to work.”
