West Berlin Again Rumors
Khrushchev Is Ailing
BERLIN, Wl — A West Berlin
tabloid newspaper revived today
the rumor that Soviet Premier
Nikita Khrushchev is suffering
from a brain tumor. The Nacht
Depesche said it has learned that
doctors from Czechoslovakia and
France have 'been helping treat
66-year-old Khrushchev.
The U. S. Embassy in Moscow,
the paper added, is sending a
stream of reports to Washington
about Khrushchev’s health. The
paper did not reveal the source of
its report.
Similar rumors cropped up after
Khrushchev visited Communist
East Germany in March.

Polar Bows to ACS-FAA
While Hits Die on Vine
In last night’s softball game the
Polar Bar bowed to the ACS-FAA
nine by a 19-13 count which saw
the losers gathering some 15 hits
to the winners’ eight.
A big six-run first inning for
the victors was the deciding fac
tor. Ralph Zweigle hit one tre
mendous home run for the win
ners in the second frame that
helped his club’s cause.
Frank Austin hit safely twice
and scored four times for the
ACS-FAA and made some spec
tacular catches in centerfield.
Pitcher A1 Haferbecker was
touched safely by the losers but
managed to keep the game under
control.
Th losing Polar Bar hit safely
often but couldn’t gather in the
runs. Norm Atuk compiled three
safeties while Larry Okpealuk,
Roy Luke, Gene Monaco, Frank
Wince, Kith Hedreen and Johnny
Herman hit for two apiece.
As the league’s first half has
ended, a playoff will occur next
week. The ACS-FAA club will
meet the winning National Guard
club on the following Wednesday
evening.
Also, on Sunday, August 2nd, the
three clubs will temporarily close
out the season with a two game
festival — which prescribes a
draw from the hat for “whom
meets who-o-om.” All citizens are
invited.

Little Hope for
Geneva Gain,
States Herter
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
GENEVA, UP) — U. S. Secretary
of State Christian A. Herter told
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei
Gromyko yesterday there is now
little hope for success of the Big
Four conference unless Gromyko
abandons key Soviet demands for
a stopgap agreement on Berlin.
Herter made a new attack on
Soviet proposals which he said
would reserve the Soviet threat
against West Berlin as a weapon
against the West and would also
turn over negotiations on German
unification to an East-West Ger
man committee.
He branded these Soviet pro
posals as obstacles to accord, and
said there is clearly little hope
for the success of the Geneva
conference.
