Breaking off talks is
serious blow to peace hopes
Niter's Note: John M. High-
tower, Pulitzer Prize-winning AP
correspondent, assesses the mean-
ing of the Soviet Union's abrupt
decision to end disarmament talks
in Geneva. Hightower, who has
covered the State Department and
American foreign policy for many
years, sees the possibility of an
intensification of the cold war.
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
WASHINGTON (AP) - Soviet
Premier Nikita Khrushchev dealt
a damaging new blow to world
peace hopes today in breaking off
the East-West disarmament con-
ference at Geneva.
A major purpose of his action
dearly is to put fresh pressure
on the United States and its al-
lies to yield to Soviet views on
disarmament and cut their de-
mands for an ironclad policing
sytteffi.
Me probably hopes, by increas-
ing anxiety on the Westerp side,
to split the allies; Britain gener-
ally has been more willing than
the United States or France to
meet 'Soviet demands with con-
cessions.
But perhaps the most striking
aspect of Khrushchev's move to-
day is the calculated contempt it
shows for the United States. He
pulled his representative Valer-
ran Zorin, out of the meeting
along with Red satellite delega-
tions at a time when it was ob-
viOuS U.S. Delegate Frederick M
Eaton was about to introduce a ]
revised Western plan
Eaton and his associates in the
State Department, as well as his
allies in Geneva, were caught by
aurprise. They had reckoned Zor-
in would not dare leave the 10-
nation conference until after hear-
ing the new modified program
developed in Washington last week
and cleared on the weekend with
the allies.
Khrushchev apparently is more
determined even than previously
realized here to press his cam-
ever of checking the nuclear arms
race for at least a year.
The move had been forseen by
U.S. and Allied officials although
it came more quickly than they
expected.
It could mean a further inten-
sification of the cold war
Zorin had repeatedly accused
the United States and its allies
of stalling.
He had insisted that they must
accept the Soviet proposal as a
basis for negotiations and had re-
peatedly refused himself to accept
any Western proposition even for
serious discussion.
Zorin’s attitude hardened after
the disarmament talks resumed.
They had recessed for the sched-
uled summit conference.
Zorin’s tactics led to the belief
here that Khrushchev intended to
apply to Geneva negotiations the
line he took in torpedoing the sum-
mit conference—that it would not
be possible to reach any -ree-
ment with the United Stc. j so
long as Eisenhower is president.
No resumption of negotiations,
therefore, can be foreseen until
5 crewmen
after the change in administra-
tions next January and until an
additional few months during
which a new U. S. executive and
new secretary of state will figure
out their policies—all together, at
least a year from now.
Collapse of the disarmament
talks, which had been deadlocked
from the moment they began,
raises serious question as to
whether negotiations among the
United States, Britain and the So-
viet Union for a treaty banning
nuclear weapons tests will not al-
so be called off.
If that happens, it will raise one
of the most serious problems of
any of the series of crisies which
has followed the failure of a U2
spy plane flight May 1, and the
subsequent breakdown of U.S.-So-
viet relations.
Since the nuclear tests talks be-
gan 18 months ago, the three na-
tions have all refrained from ex-
ploding nuclear devices even un-
derground.
But there is a strong pressure
here to start testing again.
Governors violate rule
on use of Guard planes
Bv TOM MADDOX
GLACIER NATIONAL PARK,
Mont. (AP)—More than half of
the governors’ parties are report-
ed to have flown to the 5?nd gov-
ernors’ conference here in vio-
lation of a Pentagon regulation
covering such use of National
Guard planes.
It’s a violation if persons ride
in a Guard plane except ths crew
and certain others specifically au-
thorized—including the governor,
his wife, his executive aide ard a
with the officer, Maj. Gen. S. H.
Mitchell, reported that he was
quite disturbed about the gover-
nors’ use of Guard craft.
One governor who brought a
party in his state’s DC3 Guard
plane said that he had counted
26 governors who arrived by Na-
tional Guard aircraft. He said so
far as he knew all had been ac-
companied by more persons than
just their wives and executive
aides.
NEWRY, Maine (AP) - An Air
Force KC97 tanker plane from
Plattsburgh, N. Y., crashed in
flames Monday night in the moun-
tainous terrain of western Maine
during a refueling exercise.
The bodies of five crewmen
were found amidst the wreckage,
strewn over a five acre tract near
Jonathon Smith Mountain.
Two of the victims wore un-
opened parachutes.
Officials said the four-engine
turbo-prop aircraft normally car-
ried a crew of five or six.
Game Warden Wilbur Libby
said the bodies were found within
100 yards of each other.
State police and the Oxford
County sheriff’s department were
flooded with calls from witnesses
who reported seeing the plane
burst into flames, dive behind the
mountain and explode.
Police officer Joseph Perry of
nearby Bethel said he was watch-
ing a plane hook on to the tanker’s
fuel line “when all of a sudden
the tanker exploded.”
Libby said the explosion blasted
out numerous small holes in the
ground that filled with fuel and
burned many hours later.
He said recent heavy rains
which drenched the woods and the
nearby White Mountain National
Forest saved the area from a pos-
sible major forest fire.
Ground inspection teams were
sent to the crash site from Platts-
burgh and Dow Air Force Base,
Bangor, Maine.
Water-logged ship
wallows in Atlantic
MIAMI, Fla. (AP) — A big oil
tanker, water-logged after a crip-
pling explosion, rolled helplessly
in Atlantic swells today with part
of her crew still aboard.
Four vessels sped from shore
points to the aid of the SS George
McDonald, partially submerged
but holding her own 100 miles east
southeast of Charleston, S.C.
Twenty-eight crewmen of the
501-foot MacDonald were trans-
ferred by lifeboat Monday night
to a rescue craft. The stricken
vessel’s master and 14 crew mem-
bers chose to stay with the Sin-
clair Oil Co. tanker.
Coast Guard search and rescue
headquarters at Miami said the
MacDonald’s power was off and
its radio had failed.
A Navy destroyer, the Robinson,
stood by to remove those aboard
in the event the MacDonald
showed signs of resuming a
plunge it started after a condenser
explosion Monday. No one was
reported injured.
En route to aid the craft were
three Coast Guard vessels and an-
other tanker, the J. C. Dyer.
The tanker Esso Scranton
picked up those of the MacDon-
ald’p crew who were ordered into
lifeboats after the explosion flood-
ed the engine room and crew
quarters.

In his report to the nation on

The 32-year-old monarch was

There have been recent rum-
blings in Thailand that the United
j States does not draw enough dis-
tinction between its committed
allies and such neutral nations as
India, Cambodia and Indonesia.
Recent developments in the Far
East .including the strong Com-
munist propaganda barrage
against the United States and the
cancellation of Eisenhower’s trip
to Japan hage given particular
importance to the king’s visit.
Every official effort will be
made to stress the importance of
Thailand's role as an ally in the
Southeast Asia Treaty Organiza-
tion and in the United Nations.
Thailand is considered the hub
of SEATO’s security screen tor
Laos, Cambodia. Burma and lla-
lava and none of these are peace-
ful.
Since 1951 the United States for-
eign aid program has totaled al-
most one-half billion dollars for
Thailand, with 329Vi million of
this m military aid. Th* remain-
der of 164 million has been spent
for economic aid and technical
assistance.
Thailand has refused all aid
from the Soviet Union except fur

tal. It doe* not recognize Com-
munist China.
Some Thai officials, however,
feel the United States is wooing
neutrals and tending to forget its
staunch allies.
NEW YORK (AP)—About 25
000 steelworkers have been laid
off and thousands more are on
short work weeks, an Associated
Press survey discloses.
A slump in steel orders was
blamed. Further declines are ex-
pected. David J. McDonald, presi-
dent of the United Steelworkers
Union, called for “swift and posi-
tive action to reverse the trend
before we slide into a disastrous
depression.”
The American Iron and Steel
Institute estimated production this
week would amount to 1,560,000
tons, 54.8 per cent of capacity.
This compares with last week’s
m/tput of 1,739,000 tons, 61 per
cent of capacity.
The estimate is the lowest since
the week of Nov. 9, 1959, when
1,291,000 tons were produced as
mills started up after a long
strike.
It is the first time since the
1958 summer recession that pro-
duction in a nonstrike week has
fallen below 60 per cent.
Although exact figures were not
available, best information indi-
cated 18,000 of 141,500 workers in
the Pittsburgh area are idle.
In that area, U.S. Steel Corp.,
the industry’s largest producer, 11961 models,
has closed its Edgar Thomson I
works with no indication when it
will reopen. Jones & Laughlin
Steel Corp. is shutting down its
installations in the Pittsburgh
area over the Fourth of July
weekend. It expects to resume
immediately after the holiday.
In the Detroit area, about 3,000
steelworkers have been idled.
Another extended Fourth of July
layoff is facing workers at the
East Chicago, Ind., plant of In-
land Steel Co. Seventeen thousand
of its 20,000 workers will be idle
from four days starting Friday.
U. S. Steel Ohio’s works at
Youngstown plans to shut down
July 3 and resume operations
July 9, idling 5,000 workers.
On the other hand, the Spar-
rows Point: Md , works of Bethle-
hem Steel Corp.. the nation’s larg-
est plant, said it now has about
30,400 employes, within 500 of the
figure a year ago when steel users
were building their inventories to
cushion against a strike.
Most industry analysts cite a
slower than anticipated reduction
of inventories as the prime reason
behind the slump in steel orders.
They expect a sharp upturn in | on

ALSO AT THE MEETING,
held at the San Andres Hotel,
trustees cleared the way for the
sale of the bonds at auction to the
bidder offering the lowest interest
rate.
The sale will probably take place
in August.
Fiscal advisor Joe Smith told
the board that the district could
save around $14,000 in interest
costs (about 6 months interest on
the entire bond issue) by going a-
he&d and ordering sale of bonds
in time for use of the new tax
rate this year rather than waiting
until 1961.
Trustees authorized school busi-
ness manager O. R. Watkins to
proceed with use of the new rate
of $1.40 — an increase of 14 cents
over the current $1.26 as a result
of approval of the school bond is-

HUNTSVILLE, Ala (AP)-Two
white brothers have been charged
with rape in an attack on a teen-
aged Negro girl. The girl’s escort

William, arrested shortly after
the attack Sunday night, also was
charged with assault with a dead-

Nine killed
in mine blast
ABERTILLERY. Wales (AP) -
Nine men were killed and about
40 others trapped 1,000 feet under-
ground today by an explosion at
the Six Bells coal mine.
An official of the British Na-
tional Coal Board, which operates
the state-owned colliery, said “it
may be hours or it may be days
before we can get at the trapped
men.”
The blast occurred a mile and
a quarter from the main shaft.
It sent hundreds of tons of roof
rock crashing into the level where
the men were working, sealing off
their escape.

Dakota vote
The election fills the Senate
seat held by the late Sen. William
Langer (R-ND) who died Nov. 8.
It sends Gov. John E. Davis,
Republican, against Rep. Quentin
N. Burdick, Democrat.
At the eleventh hour, the Demo-
crats requested the U.S. Senate to
investigate charges that anony-
mous election statements had
been distributed during the cam-
paign. Two investigators of the
Senate subcommittee on Privileg-
es and Elections were expected
in North Dakota today.
They are James Duffy, major-
ity counsel and Roy A. Schaeft
the minority member.
The Democrats said the anony-
mous leaflets attacked Burdick.
Federal law prohibits use of an-
onymous material in federal elec-
tions.
In Washington Sen. Theodore F.
Green (D-RI), chairman of the
subcommittee, said copies of an-
onymous leaflets were submitted
as exhibits attached to the sworn
complaint.
The Republicans countered with
a telegraphed request to Green
asking for an investigation of re-
ports that election poll challeng-
ers are being brought into North
Dakota to challenge voters as
they come to ballot.
K. A. Fitch, Cass County Re-
publican chairman said he sent
the wire to Green.
The election has national sig-
nificance as possible evidence for
the answers to these critical ques-
tions—
How angry are the farmers
about the agricultural program as
administered by Secretary of
Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson?
Will the farmers place equal im-
portance on other issues when
they ballot in November?
Health bill
modernize their transit systems.
On other major bills holding up
the close, prospects brightened for
passage of minimum wage legis-
lation, but chances of getting a
Senate-House compromise on fed-
eral aid to schools corresponding-
ly dimmed.
Legislation on both subjects is
under control of the House Rules
Committee, which thus far has
blocked further action.
The Rules Committee meets to-
day on a $1,365,000,000 housing
bill which also is on the program
of congressional Democratic lead-
ers for action this session.
The House Banking Committee
approved it two weeks ago, but
it needs clearance of the rules
group for floor debate. The Sen-
ate committee has approved a
companion omnibus bill.
Sen. Albert Gore (D-Tenn) said
Monday that “so far as the peo-
ple are concerned, this medical
care for the aged bill is the most
important thing we will do this
year.”

Alcoholism
is disease
* By LEE JONES
AUSTIN (AP)—Alcoholism is a
disease, not necessarily a symp-
tom of immorality and sinfulness,
a Presbyterian leader says.
John Park Lee of the office of
Health and Welfare of the United
Presbyterian Church, U.S.A., Mon-
day told the Third Institute of
Alcohol Studies that society has
treated the alcoholic as a pariah.
Lee said alcoholism is typified
by - compulsive drinking and ob-
session with alcohol.
“We can say that alcoholism is
a disease because this is not the
normal, the usual response to al-
cohol,” Lee said.
Lee emphasized the alcoholic’s
need for acceptance by others and
for hope. “The most astounding
development of the last 25 years,”
he said, “is that alcoholism no
longer is considered hopeless.”
He said churches must never
allow their view of drinking as
right or wrong interfere with their
ministry to the alcoholic.
Dr. C. Stanley Clifton, director
of the Oklahoma University School
of Social Work, told the institute
an alcoholic's wife needs help al-
most as much as the alcoholic,
and must be considered in re-
habilitation programs.
He noted that the alcoholic par-
ent does not present his children
file consistent parental picture
they need to develop emotionally.
Children, he said, generally tend
to acquire their parents’ drinking
habits.
