U.S. Consulate
In Tunis Wrecked
By French Mob
WASHINGTON, UPt—France has
apologized for the “unpardonable
acts” of violence committed in
Tunis Friday against the U.S.
consulate by a raging French mob.
France was ready to pay the
whole cost of repair.
Word was sent that about half
the consulate offices had been de
stroyed. It was also reported that
offices of the U.S. Information
Service several blocks away were
completely wrecked by rioters
wielding crowbars and axes.
All windows in both buildings
were broken. Damage included
smashed typewriters, ripped tele
phone lines, broken and emptied
file cases and the like.
An American Embassy source
in Paris had attributed the mob
action to “an unfounded rumor
the United States is encouraging
North African terrorists.”

Mixed Reactions to McKay Decision
To Try to Unseat Senator Morse
SALEM, Ore., UP!—Secretary of
Interior McKay found odd reac
tions in Oregon Saturday to his
decision to try to unseat Demo
cratic Sen. Wayne Morse.
Democratic Party leaders, al
most to the man, cheered it. Some ;
Republican leaders were unusual- !
ly guarded in their comment.
McKay, known as a hard cam
paigner and a strong vote-getter
in this normally Republican state,
lit running, but there were indi
cations that nudging hands in the
White House had to start him off.
Until two days ago- McKay, for
mer Oregon governor, was saying
he would not again run for office,
and that he hoped he could soon
retire.
Then McKay had a conference
at the White House, caught a
plane to Oregon, and filed for the
Republican nomination to the
Senate just before the primary
election filing deadline fell Fri
day, March 9.
McKay insisted President Eis
enhower had not asked him to
take the race against Morse, the
one-time Republican who has be
come a harsh critic of the Eisen
hower Administration and of
what Morse calls the natural re
sources “give-away” practices of
McKay.
But McKay did say GOP Na
tional Chairman Leonard Hall
and Presidential Assistant Sher
man White had “asked me to con
sider” entering the race.
Some Oregon Republican lead
ers had been urging that, ever
since Republican Gov. Paul Pat
terson died in January, a few days
after announcing he would try to
unseat Morse.
They said McKay was the
strongest candidate remaining,
and without him the Republicans
would have little chance of de
feating Morse—who has been one
of their prime targets in their
hope of regaining control of the
Senate.
McKay at once attacked “the
slippery philosophy of Wayne
Morse,” called him a “political
turncoat,” and asserted, “the
plain fact is that I believe my na
tive state is not now represented
by a senator whose political integ
rity can be relied upon.”
Morse was elected as a Repub
lican in 1950, left the party to be
come an independent in 1952, and
then registered as a Democrat
last year.
Average Person
Hears Equivalent of
A Book in One Day
DENVER, UP—'The art of listen
ing has been taken for granted
too long in America’s schools, a
convention of elementary school
principals of the National Educa
tion Assn, was told Friday.
Dr. Helen K. Macintosh of the
U.S. Office of Education said this
is borne out by the fact that most
youngsters have difficulty grasp
ing something presented to them
orally alone.
“The average person,” she said,
“speaks the equivalent of a book a (
week; reads the equivalent of a
book a month; writes the equiva
lent of a book in a lifetime—but
listens to the equivalent of a book
every day.”
Dr. Macintosh urged parents to
concentrate, on teaching their
children correct listening habits
before pressing them to read.

The word “kosher” means “fit”
or “proper” and is derived from
the book of Esther in the Bible.

Asst. Air Chief Asks New Look at
Need for Speed in Military Aireraft
CLEVELAND, UP*—'The assis-4
tant secretary of Defense urges a
new look at military aircraft to
see whether all their speed is
really necessary.
The question about airplane
speed was raised by Clifford C.
Furnas Friday night in a speech
before the Institute of Aeronautic
al Sciences.
Axioms of good propulsion de
sign, he said, have been compro
mised in the “hell-for-leather”
ride for speed.
Military aviation’s uncompro
mising demand for speed may
have spoiled some of the objec
tives of design, Furnas said.
“Confederate Gen. Forrest’s ad
monition to his cavalry to ‘Git
their fustest with the mostest’ has
been taken so seriously that we
haven’t really been taking enough
time to consider what we’re going
to do when we get there fustest,
nor just what we are doing to
everything else in the process of
promoting speed over all else,”
the assistant secretary said.
Furnas said it was questionable
whether many of the nation’s mil
itary airfields could be adapted
to jet operations. The Navy, he
added, has been forced to build
the largest ships ever in order to
provide takeoff and landing facil
ities for its jets.
The Scandinavian Airlines Sys
tem, he said, has reported there is
no airfield in western Europe that
could handle its ordered DC-8 jet
transports and that few of the
fields could be enlarged.
'Fan American was just a bit
more optimistic,” he added, “stat
ing that perhaps 18 of the 223
airports it uses around the world
might accommodate their forth
coming jet transports.”
He urged that a new look at the
speed situation be taken “before
the world runs out of real estate
and concrete.”
