Two Top World Leaders Ready
To Meet In Vienna Tomorrow
President Ends Three-Day
Talks with De Gaulle—
Heads for Vienna Meeting
By John M. Hightower
PARIS Iff) — President Ken
nedy and President De Gaulle to
day ended their three-day talks j
with a communique confirming
agreement on their obligations j
and responsibilities toward West ■
Berlin.
The joint statement, issued on j
the eve of President Kennedy’s |
departure for Vienna and a meet
ing with Premier Khrushchev,
told of a basic agreement between !
the two Western statesmen.
Kennedy said ‘The power of
the United States, plus that of
those countries associated with
the United States is enough to
give encouragement to any West
ern leader, and I think Mr.
Khrushchev has the same view,”
Kennedy said.
He declared De Gaulle and he
agree that the Western power
rights in West Berlin must not be
modified by force or the threat
of force. Berlin will be among
the problems he will discuss with
Khrushchev.
The Chief Executive also ex
pressed guarded hope that the
Khrushchev conference will lead
to progress in two separate East
West negotiations under way at
Geneva—on the future of Laos
and on a nuclear weapons test
ban.
But Kennedy indicated his chief
purpose in meeting with Khrush
chev is to try to avoid the danger
of a miscalculation which could ■
lead to war.
“It is important that we under- i
stand his (Khrushchev’s) view- j
point and the implications of it,
and it is equally important that
be understand ours.”
Kennedy said a study of three
wars shows miscalculation as one
of the causes. He evidently re
ferred to the two World Wars
and the conflict in Korea.
“The United States,” Kennedy
declared, “is united in its deter
mination to fulfill its commit
ments.”
And he said his talks with De
Gaulle have given him a feeling
of confidence and hope.

Child’s Toy Box
Proves Fatal for Tot
NORWALK, Calif. (41 — A
child’s toy box . . . built by love,
destroyed by grief.
Donald E. Brown made the box
himself to hold the treasures of
his three cchildren.
Thursday night, his 14-month
old nephew, Larry Bioen, came
visiting. The tot wandered into a
bedroom, spotted the box, and
bent over to examine the things
inside.
Somehow, the lid fell, striking
his neck.
The boy was dead on arrival at
a hospital.
Brown took the box into his
back yard and smashed it to
pieces.
Khrushchev Passes
Through Gate in Iron
Curtain Into Vienna
By Preston Grover
VIENNA UP) — Through a gate
in the Iron Curtain, Premier
Khrushchev entered Austria to
day and came to Vienna for his
weekend conferences with Presi
dent Kennedy, who arrives Sat
urday.
The Soviet leader said he is
here to establish personal con
tact with Kennedy “and to ex
change views on the main ques
tions that concern relations be
tween the Soviet Union and the
United Str*2s of America.”
“We know that one cannot set
tle everything at once,” he ob
served. “If, however, one has good
will, one can also achieve much
with a short time.
“This is what the people want
who press for an easing of inter
national tension and for strength
ening of world peace.”
Arriving from Czechoslovakia,
Khrushchev’s special train passed
through a gate in a complex
fence of barbed wire stretching
along the Czech side of the front
ier. The fencing is arranged in
several rows, with a total depth
of about 12 feet. Its main pur
pose is to keep Czechs from
making unauthorized trips.
The Kennedy-Khrushchev talks
begin Saturday and continue Sun
day. The Soviet camp seemed
guardedly optimistic that some
thing useful might come from
them—if Kennedy is prepared to
accept as logical the Russan view
point on world affairs.
Deadpanned Introduction . . .
PARIS UP) — President Kennedy
deadpanned his own introduction
today at a press club luncheon.
After formal presentation, the
U. S. President arose, faced the
audience and said:
“I do not feel that it is innap
proriate for me to introduce my
self. I am the man who accom
panied Jacqueline Kennedy into
Paris.”
Bubble-Top Limousine . . .
WASHINGTON UP> — Spectators
won’t have to crane their necks
and strain their eyes any more
when the President passes by in
his bubble-top limousine.
President Kennedy is getting a
new plastic-domed car with an
elevator back seat to boost him
or visiting dignitaries up to where
they can be seen better.
Two Youngsters Pulled
To Safety from Bering Sea
Frankie Amarok, 9, and Char
lie Koonuk, 11, owe their lives
probably to the quick thinking
and acting of Carol Carlson and
Sgt. David Bell Wesdnesday eve
ning.
The boys had ventured out on
the rotting ice and fell through
into the water which was over
their heads. Carol saw that they
were in distress and ran over
the sea wall near the the ANG
Armory and alerted Sgt. Bell, who
crawled out on the ice rescuing
the boys one at a time. Outside of
some salt water and being very
cold, wet and scared the boys
were able to return to their
homes.
Tru jillo Jr. Leads
Nation In Final
Tribute to Father
CIUDAD TRUJILLO, Domini
can Republic W** — Gen. Rafael
L. Trujillo Jr., emerging as the
political heir of his slain father,
i led the nation today in final tri
I bute to the dictator,
j At one pont a screaming crowd
| broke through police lines around
the national palace and surged
toward Generalissimo Rafael L.
Trujillo’s casket for a last look
at the man who ruled their na
tion for 31 years.
Fearing for the casket’s safety,
officials interrupted public view
ing of the body and carried it
away one hour early toward its
final resting place.
Funeral services took place at
the San Cristobal Roman Catholic
Church as throngs estimated to
number 50,000 wailed and wept.
Burial took place there also, in
the same atmosphere of grief.
Absolute control of this Carib
bean nation now appears to have
passed to Trujillo’s oldest son,
who has become commander in
chief of the 25,000-man armed
forces—the backbone of the gen
eralissimo’s power.
Rafael Jr., 32—made brigadier
general at the age of 9 by his
proud father — was appointed
Thursday night by President Joa
quin Balaguer and other gov
ernment chiefs who served as
front men for the generalissimo,
Young Trujillo’s first job in
preserving the family rule is to
hunt down the small band of as
sassins led by a retired army gen
eral who amubushed the dictator
Tuesday night as he was being
driven from Ciudad Trujillo to
his country estate. The elder Tru
jillo, 69, fell fighting with re
volver in hand, a communique
said.
Jacqueline Dons
French Wardrobe
At Final Gala
By Frances Lewine
PARIS (#> — Jacqueline Ken
nedy forsook her All-American
wardrobe Thursday night in a
surprise personal tribute to her
French hosts and their fashion
i industry7.
To the final gala of her three
day visit to Paris—a banquet in
the historic Hall of Mirrors of
the Palace of Versailles—Presi
dent Kennedy’s wife wore a gown
of heavy white silk and matching
coat made for her by Paris de
signer Hubert De Givenchy.
It was the only French creation
worn by Mrs. Kennedy during
her visit. Already the toast of
Paris, today she was even more
popular because of her gesture.
Mrs. Kennedy’s fashion surprise
was a well-kept secret. A press
preview of her wardrobe for the ;
trip showed only American gowns !
and reporters were told she would
wear a pink and white straw lace
number by New York’s Oleg Cas
sini to Versailles.
Instead she wore the Cassini
number Wednesday night to the
Elysee Palace, then Thursday un
veiled the ensemble Givenchy
made for her some weeks ago and
secretly sent to America.
The sleeveless gown had a bell
shaped skirt, high neckline and
bodice embroidered in jewelled
rose, mauve and green floral de
sign.
Alexandre, Mrs. Kenned y’s
hairdresser since her arrival in
Paris, pulled the bangs from her
forehead, stuck deep dibs of waves
to her cheeks, and crowned her
head with a Louis XIV chigon on
which four diamond clips cre
ated a tiara effect. Her cascade
earrings and her large ring were
of emeralds and diamonds.
State Supreme Court Rules That
State Has Right to Ran Fish Traps
JUNEAU UP> — The State Su
preme Court, in a unanimous
decision, today ruled that the
state has the right to ban the use
of fish traps for catching salmon,
by Indians as well as whites.
In a 76-page decision written
by Chief Justice Buell A. Nes
bett, the high court said the people
of Alaska, in adopting Ordinance
No. 3 in the Statehood Referen
dum, which abolished fish traps,
“were not unaware that some
economic adjustments would be
required.
“The pros and cons of the is
sue had been considered for many
years. All persons engaged in the
salmon industry had notice of the
obvious trend.
“. . . temporary inconveniences
must be subordinated to a policy
dedicated to preventing exploita
tion to annihilation of one of the
greatest natural food resources
known to mankind, to equitable
regulation of seasonal harvests for
the greatest benefit to the great- ,
est number, while conserving and
rebuilding for posterity.”
The Supreme Court decision
was handed down in an appeal of
a U. S. District Court decision by
the Indian villages of Kake, An
goon and Metlakatla.
The long, involved court suit,
which has already gone up to the
U. S. Supreme Court and which
will probably return there, start
ed on June 15, 1959, when the
state seized a fish trap owned
by the village of Kake.
Kake and Angoon claimed they
had historic rights to operate
their traps and had been author
ized to do so by regulations is
sued by the Department of the
Interior.
Metlakatla further contended
that its traps were located on tri
bal land and therefore were not
subject to state law.
Alaska contended that the
U. S. Department of the Interior,
in issuing regulations which per
mitted the Indian traps to operate,
had no right to “extend its arm
into the regulation of commercial
salmon fishing in Alaska in order
to make a welfare program out of
that resource.”
The State Supreme Court, in
its decision today, said if the De
partment of the Interior were
permitted to wield absolute jur
isdiction over native fishing in
Alaska, “only permanent chaos
and conflict could result. The
magnitude of the power claimed
is such that the effect could be
to render useless or futile any
effort by the state to regulate.”
The court said migrating
schools of salmon, “while in in
land waters, are the property of
the state, held in trust for the
benefit of all people of the state,
and the obligation and authority
to equitably and wisely regulate
the harvest is that of the state.”
Rep. Miller to Head
GOP National
Committee
WASHINGTON </P> — Rep. Wil
liam F,. Miller of New York was
unanimously elected chairman of
the Republican National Com
mittee today, and immediately
launched a sharp attack on the
Kennedy Administration.
In an acceptance speech, he said
he rather suspected that if the
United States had a parliamentary
system of government “we would
have a resounding vote of no
confidence in the administration.”
And, alluding to President Ken
nedy, Miller told the applaud
ing National Committee member
ship that “there is one hell of
a difference between a sense of
histrionics and a sense of his
tory.”
Fie added the American people
“now know there is a vast dif
ference between campaigning for
President and being President of
the United States.”
Miller said the Republicans will
be a responsible opposition party,
but will point out the errors of
the administraaion—an adminis
tration he said goes from one
crisis to another.
His travels in recent months
have convinced him that the GOP
is vital and determined to win,
he said, and added a comment
that the election of Republican
j John G. Tower to the Senate from
Texas wos “no indication that the
party was dying.”
Miller, generally regarded as a
m i d d 1 e-of-the-roacl Republican,
succeeds Sen. Thruston B. Morton
of Kentucky who resigned to al
low himself more time to cam
paign for re-election to the Sen
ate next year.
Miller. 47, is the party’s 43rd
chairman, and the second Roman
Catholic to serve in the post since
the GOP was organized in 1856.
The first Catholic chairman was
Thomas H. Carter of Montana, in
1892-96.
As chairman, Miller will direct
the party battle to carry out what
Gen. Dwight Eisenhower calls its
“clear mandate” to attack Presi
dent Kennedy’s program.
Eisenhower laid before a cheer
ing audience of 6,000 party faith
ful at a $100-a-plate dinner Thurs
day night a battle plan under
which he said “for America’s
sake, we take sharp issue with
the leadership now in power.”
The former President gave the
Republicans a political talking

Gene Tunney Says
Ingo Was Sick Man In
Last Bout with Patterson
WASHINGTON (7P> — Gene
Tunney contended today Inge
mar Johannson, the Swedish box
er, “was a sick man” suffering
from a brain trauma when he lost
to heavyweight champion Floyd
Patterson in their bout this year.
Tunney told the Senate Anti
trust and Monopoly subcommit
tee “the monopoly” wouldn’t
stand for an electronic examina
tion which he said would have
shown Johannson not physically
fit for the bout.
Tunney did not specify whom
he meant by the “the monopoly.”
Tunney made his statements in
a denunciation of guarantees,
usually demanded by champions,
that they will have a return bout
if they lose their titlte.
He said the agreements are un
fair to other challengers.
