France and Israel to get their
forces out of Egypt “forthwith." It
asked Secretary General Dag

mand urgently and report back
“without delay.”
Splitting with its major allies
again, the United States voted for
the proposal. Australia and New

France and Israel against it.

Fallout in Japan
Almost 4 Times
Greater Than 1955
TOKYO, Iff)—A Japanese scien
tist reported today radioactivity
from fallout reaching the ground
in Japan is almost four times as
high as last year.
Dr. Fumio Yamazaki of the In
stitute for Chemical Research told
a group of scientists at the Japan
Council of Science that ground
radioactivity in October was
measured at 150 millicurie per
square kilometer (.386 of a square
mile). Last year it was 40 milli
curie, he said.
Yamazaki did not discuss caus
es of the increased radioactivity.
A week ago two other Japanese
scientists reported Japan was get
ting three times as much fallout
from Soviet nuclear tests in Si

South Pacific and Nevada.

negotiate contracts to clear the
Suez Canal, now blocked by ships
and bridges wrecked during the
military operations.
The Assembly's withdrawal de
mand was its fourth in three
weeks, all approved by over
whelming votes. So far, Israel
says she has pulled about 6,000
troops out of Egypt, Britain sailed
a battalion of 928 infantrymen
from Port Said, and the French
claim they have withdrawn a
third of their forces.
However, the three govern
ments have announced no other
concrete plans for troop evacua
tions. To date, the only U. N.
troops in the Port Said area are
190 Norwegians. More than 1,000
others from various nations are

LONGSHORE STRIKERS
GO BACK TO WORK
President Invokes
Taft-Hartley Law
NEW YORK, (J)—Brigades of
longshoremen—60,000 of them in
ports from Maine to Texas—went
back to work today, loosening the
grip of a nine-day strike.
Ships and cargo, tied up during
the period, started moving.
Along the miles of wharfs in
New York Harbor, operations
were bustling—and described as
back to normal. Loading and un
loading crews swarmed over piers
servicing more than a dozen ships.
Dock hands said they were glad
to be back on the job, but disap
pointed no settlement had been
reached in the dispute. No dis
orders were reported.
A federal court restraining or
der issued Saturday ended the
| walkout for a temporary “cooling
off” period.
The strike started Nov. 15 in a
contract dispute between the in
dependent ILA and the New York
Shipping Assn. The employers’
grtiup represents 170 shipping and
stevedoring firms.
The walkout immobilized more
than 200 ships in East and Gulf
Coast ports and cost the national
economy an estimated $20 million
a day.
Last Thursday, President Ei
senhower initiated invocation of
the Taft-Hartley Law. He said
continuance of the strike would
“imperil the national health and
safety."
The government injunction is
for a 10-day period. Before the
10 days are up, the government is
expected to press for extension of
the order for the -full 80-day
“cooling off’ period provided in
the Taft-Hartley Law.

The U.S. Forest Guard station
at the fire scene said about 40,000

Service employes, seven county
prisoners and a guard.

$274,000 Stolen
From Wall Safe
Of Bullitt Mansion
LOUISVILLE, K.v., Oft—Police
today suspected an inside job in
the $274,000 “push button” wall
safe theft at the Oxmoor mansion
of capitalist William Marshall
Bullitt.
It was the biggest burglary ever
committed here.
The money—ranging from $10
to $1,000 bills—was stolen from a
concealed wall safe in Bullitt’s
study on the rambling 1,00-acre
estate on Louisville’s city limits
sometime between 11 o’clock Sat
urday night and 9 a.m. yesterday.
A $41,000 check also was reported
missing at first, but was found
later.
The wife of the 83-year-oid
sportsman, attorney and onetime
solicitor general of the United
States also indicated to newsmen
the work was done by someone
who knew the setup.
Detectives said it wasn’t known
how the thieves worked the dou
ble combination safe. The thieves
apparently entered the first floor
library of the mansion by raising
an unlocked window.
The detectives said whoever
took the money pressed a point on
the library wall which opened a
door disguised as a bookshelf.
When they apparently couldn't
find a button—on Bullitt’s desk in
the study—ihat opens a section of
a wall paneling hiding the safe,
they forced it open.
The break-in was discovered
when a maid told Mrs. Bullitt
about 9 a.m. yesterday that a win
dow in the library was open.
Mrs. Bullitt said her husband
brought most of the money home
recently from his law office. No
reason was given.
Bullitt served under President
William Howard Taft as solicitor
general and was a Republican
nominee for the U.S. Senate in
1914.
* Mock Bombs Dropped,
North Pole Circled
By LOUIS PANOS
BALTIMORE, W—U.S. air offi
cials pointed today to the success
ful flights of eight B-52 jet bomb
ers as proof jif the nation’s ability
to deliver a nuclear knockout
punch anywhere in the world.
The 14-ton, eight-engine B-52s
took off Saturday—four from the
Air Force base at Loring Maine,
and four from the base at Castle,
California.
Before landing at various points
in the U.S. yesterday, they had:
1. Completed nonstop flights of
up to 17,000 miles over a 32V4
hour stretch, 'more thdn eight
hours longer than any other B-52
had ever flown continuously.
2. Circled the North Pole at
temperatures of 65 degrees below
zero, reached speeds of “nearly
700 miles per hoyr” and main
tained altitudes of “more than
35.000 feet.”
3. Simulated d rops of their
deadly bombloads at targets
along a course leading from
'Maine, past Thule, Greenland, to
the top of the world, and back by
way of Anchorage, Seattle, San
Francisco, Houston, Miami, and
Baltimore.
“We had a very successful mis
sion,” said Col. Donald E. Hill
man, commander of the 42nd
Bomb Wing, based at Loring.
He had flown in one of two
B-52s which were diverted to Bal
timore’s Friendship International
Airport after originally being
scheduled to land at Loring.
The diversion, a Strategic Air
Command spokesman indicated,
was part of a last-minute plan to
dramatize U.S. striking power to
the world.
Many of the 200 or so airport
visitors who watched the B-S2
landing at Friendship followed
disembarking crew members into
the airport terminal and sat in on
a hastily arranged press confer
ence. ,
SAC spokesmen said the flights
were “a routine mission to dem
onstrate the capability of the B-52
and the men who fly it.” They
said the B-52s, of which the Air
Force has more than 100 among
11 wings, refueled in flight with,
the aid of KC-97 Stratocruisers.
There were “several” of these '
pauses for refueling, they said,
but the exact number must re
main secret.
