Eisenhower to Host
Foreign Diplomats
Attending Funeral
WASHINGTON, UP — President
Eisenhower and Secretary of
State Christian Herter will discuss
the Geneva conference negotia
tions with the foreign ministers
of Russia, Britain and France.
The President and Herter today
arranged a White House confer
ence for 10:50 a.m. Thursday.
They will meet with Soviet
Union’s Andrei Gromyko, Britain’s
Selwyn Lloyd and France’s Mau
rice Couve De Murville.
Herter and the other three for
eign ministers flew to Washing
ton from Geneva for the funeral
of John Foster Dulles today.
Western diplomats had seen the
visit as an opportunity for such
a conference as the foreign min
isters arrived at the airport.
The Geneva negotiations have
been pretty much on dead center
in efforts to resolve East-West dif
ferences.
Announcement of plans for the
White House conference came
shortly after disclosure that Eisen
hower will be host at a luncheon
Thursday for the foreign minis
ters and high officials and digni
taries of other countries who are
here for the Dulles funeral.
The President met for 45 min
utes this morning with West Ger
many’s Konrad Adenauer, also
here for the funeral.
Pittsburgh Loses “Almost
Perfect” Game To
Milwaukee 1 to 0
CINCINNATI, un — The final
score of last night’s game in which
Pittsburgh pitcher Harvey Haddix
did not allow a hit in 12 innings,
was 1-0 in favor of Milwaukee,
instead of 2-0.
That was the ruling today of
Warren C. Giles, president of the
National League.
Milwaukee won the game in the
13th inning when Felix Mantilla
was safe on a fielding error,
moved to second on a sacrifice
and after Hank Aaron was walked
purposely, scored on Joe Adcock’s
blast over the left field fence.
Aaron stopped at second base
and then ran across the pitcher^
mound toward the dugout. Adcock
passed him, but both quickly re
traced their steps. Umpire Frank
Dascoli ruled Aaron’s run valid,
but ruled Adcock’s hit a double.
Since Mantilla crossed the plate
ahead of Aaron, Dascoli declared
the score 2-0.
The question of whether Aaron’s
run should count was challenged
immediately.
In his ruling, Giles said:
“While the hitter (Adcock) hit
a fair ball over the field fence
in flight, he did not touch all the
bases legally and cannot be cred
ited with a ‘home run.’ Since, in
determining the final score the
hitter (Adcock) cannot be treated
as having hit a two-base hit, it is
not logical to treat the base run
ners as if the hitter had hit a
home run. The score shall be de
termined by disregarding the
‘home run’ and regarding it as
it would be if the bitter (Adcock)
had hit a two base hit, in which
case only the run or runs score,
which are necessary to win the
game.
“The official score of the Pitts
burgh-Milwaukee game at Mil
waukee on May 26 is to be re
garded as Milwaukee 1, Pitts
burgh 0.”
Faubus Rejects Indications
Of Segregation Defeat
LITTLE ROCK, Ark., UP) — Gov
ernor Orval Faubus said today he
did not feel results of Monday’s
school board recall election indi
cated the people of' Little Rock
wanted him to keep hands off
their public school affairs.
“There was no clear-cut issue
in the election,” Faubus said.
Three militant segregationists
backed by Faubus were recalled
from the board in Monday’s bal
loting, and three moderates he
opposed kept their seats.
‘Sources’ Report
FBI Solved Lynch
Mob Identity
J
WASHINGTON, UP — Govern
ment sources said today the FBI
solved the Mack Charles Parker
lynching and named the partici
pants in evidence turned over to
Mississippi Governor J. P. Cole
man.
According to this report, the list
was accompanied by proof of the
identities of the masked men who
went into the Pearl River County
jail at Poplarville,, Miss., in the
early morning of April 25 and
dragged the screaming 23-year-old
Negro feet first to their waiting
cars.
Parker, who was on the eve of
trial on a charge of raping a preg
nant white woman was found
dead in the Mississippi side of the
Pearl River May 4. He had been
shot twice.
Today’s Chicago Tribune re
ported an FBI solution of the
case, quoting “informed sources
on Capitol Hill.” The newspaper
said approximately 10 men were
named in the list turned over
to Coleman.
The FBI, which sent some 40
agents into the area immediately
after Parker’s abduction, an
nounced two days ago its investi
gation showed no federal law vio
lation.
A major factor was the lack of
any evidence a state line had been
crossed. The body was in the
swamps opposite Bogalusa, La.,
but there was nothing to indicate
the abductors had crossed into
that state.
In announcing its withdrawal,
the FBI said its extensive evidence
was being turned over to Governor
Coleman for any action the state
might desire to take.
Coleman has stated the evidence
will be submitted to the next reg
ular grand jury convening in Pearl
River County next November.
In Jackson, Miss., today, Gov
ernor Coleman, preparing to leave
for Washington to testify against
civil rights legislation, declined
to comment on an NAACP request
for a special grand jury to act
on the FBI report on the lynching.

Bartlett - Egan Ask
Preference Given
Alaska Fishermen
SEATTLE, UPi — The Interior
Department opening of Bristol
Bay to limited commercial fishing
was in line with recommendations
made by his administration, Gov
ernor William Egan said today.
Egan, who issued a joint state
ment with Senator Bartlett from
the hospital room where the Gov
ernor is recovering from an oper
ation, said he had sent two offi
cials to Washington to discuss the
Bristol Bay situation.
In the statement issued by Egan
and Bartlett, who visited the Gov
ernor at the hospital, the two offi
cials said they hoped Alaska fish
ermen would be given preference
in the limited fishing.
“It is our hope that the fishing
industry will join the government
to give preference to Alaska fish
ermen. They are in the greatest
need,” the statement said.
Industry spokesmen here indi
cated many men who would nor
mally take part in the Alaska
fishery have taken other jobs be
cause of the previous announce
ment Bristol Bay would be closed
and will be available even for a
limited season.
Egan and Bartlett said “It is
probable that weekly fishing per
iods in each district will be de
termined by the amount of fishing
gear registered.
“Alaska fishermen will be al
lowed to make a living — even if
it is inadequate.”
