U.N. General Assembly Today Began
Special Session On Middle East Crisis
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., UP)—
The U.N. General Assembly be
gins emergency special session on
the Middle East late today but
won’t get down to real business
until next Tuesday or Wednes
day.
Only formalities of organizing
the session were planned for the
late-afternoon opening meeting.
The delegates were ' to adjourn
to prepare for the debate.
Before adjournment, however,
the Soviet Unioir-was expected to
make it§ usual fruitless move to
seat Communist China in place
of the Chinese Nationalist delega
tion.
And there was speculation that
some Latin-American delegation
would move to bar Hungary’s
Communist delegate because of
the execution of Imre Nagy and
other leaders of the Hungarian
revolution.
Neither move was expected to
win assembly approval, however.
The special assembly session
was called by unanimous vote of
the Security Council last night on
a compromise resolution. The
resolution got both the U.S. and
Soviet votes by avoiding specific
mention of (1) the original U.S.
charge of indirect aggression lay
the -United Arab Republic in
Lebanon and (2) the Soviet de
mand for immediate withdrawal
of U.S. forces from Lebanon and
British forces from Jordan.
But Soviet Delegate Arkady
A. Sobolev, after dropping his
resolution, said the main pur
pose of the emergency session still
should be to devise measures for
the withdrawal of the 15,000
U.S. troops in Lebanon and the
3,000 British troops in Jordan.
U.S. Delegate Henry Cabot
Lodge told the council the special
session should deal with broad
and fundamental problems of the
troubled area, going beyond stop
gap measures to stabilize the im
mediate situation.
First Flight of
Space Ship X-15
Scheduled In 1959
SAN DIEGO, Calif., UP — The
first plane designed to carry man
into outer space—North Ameri
can’s X-15—is expected to be
completed in December and flown
two months later.
Walter C. Williams, member
of the National Advisory Commit
tee for Aeronautics at Edwards
Air Force Base near Los Angeles
told a Space Exploration Confer
ence:
“After a series of ground and
captive flight tests under the
B-52 mother ship, the first X-15
flight is scheduled for February
1959.
Congress Would Provide
$250,000 Annual Bounty
For Dogfish Sharks
“WASHINGTON, UP — Congress
received a compromise proposal
yesterday aimed at paving the
way for a federal attack on dog
fish sharks in Pacific Northwest
and Alaskan waters.
Rep. Thor Tollefson (R-Wash)
introduced a new bill authorizing
a two-year study by the Fish and
Wildlife Service on steps to con
trol dogfish and their invasion of
traditional salmon fishing
grounds.
Tollefson’s bill would permit
the Secretary of the Interior to
pay a bounty of 10 cents a pound
on dogfish shark livers or $10 a
ton for unlivered sharks. The
most which would spent in
any one year would be $250,000.
A department witness earlier
this week told the committee he
believed a Senate-passed bill pro
viding only for the bounty pay
ments would be of little bene
fit in controlling the predators.
His testimony was sharply
criticized by Milo Moore, director
of the Washington State Depart
ment of Fisheries.
Savage Tornado
Hits Milwaukee
MILWAUKEE, (IP — A small,
but savage tornado churned over
Milwaukee yesterday afternoon,
injuring two persons and causing
property damage before it veered
out over Lake Michigan.
One witness described the fun
nel as a “whirling mass of junk,”
while another saw it as looking
like “a bunch of birds flying in
a flock.”
Donald Mueller, 24, said “It
was as black and spooky as any
thing I’ve ever seen. Usually I’m
pretty curious about such things,
but this time I was just plain
scared.
“When we saw this yellow thing
bearing down on us like a tank,
we thought it was an explosion.
Then we looked up and saw a
yellow plastic wading pool about
200 feet in the air.”
Earl Carsten, operator of a
tavern, said his bar was “swept
clean” of glasses being used by
more than a dozen patrons.
The injured were Michael Fri
senegger, 13, and Mrs. Mary
Jervoenko, 55.

PIXLEY, Calif., UP — Sheriff’s
Sgt. Clarence Weyand said today
a jackrabbit chased and bit a
dog owned by farmer James
Shott.
The rabbit collapsed and died.
Weyand said “we’ve got some
tough rabbits around here but
apparently they’re not tough
enough.”
The dog is recovering . . . from
shock.

Atomic Submarine Nautilus
Completes Trans-Polar Voyage
WASHINGTON, UFi — The
United States announced that the
atomic submarine Nautilus com
pleted history’s first trans-polar
underseas voyage across the
top of the world. The dra
matic announcement came at
a White House news conference
where Eisenhower personally pre
sented citations to the youthful
skipper of the submarine and
members of its crew.
The citation hailed the voyage
under the Arctic Ice cap as pio
neering the submerged sea lane
between the eastern and western
hemispheVes. President Eisen
hower said: “This points the
way to further exploration and
possible use of this route by
nuclear-powered cargo sulbmar
ines as a new commercial sea
way between the major oceans
of the world.” The Nautilus
added to its list of historic
achievements, Eisenhower said,
“by crossing the Arctic Ocean
from the Bering Sea to the Green
land Sea, passing submerged be
neath the geographic North Pole.”
The Nautilus was skippered by
Comdr. W. R. Anderson, 37,
Waverly, Tenn.
Anderson was picked up by
helicopter at Iceland last night
then flown to Washington.
The Nautilus left Pearl Harbor
July 23. The voyage north
across the Polar Sea was com
pleted to Iceland the morning
of Aug. 5.
Bartlett Coming
To Alaska
Next Week
WASHINGTON, Iff) — Delegate
E. L. Bartlett said today he plans
to return to Alaska next week to
lend his voice to building up a
strong vote for statehood.
Although he plans to leave
Seattle for Alaska next Wednes
day, plans still are indefinite on
departure from Washington and
his itinerary in Alaska.
Prior to the primary, Bartlett
said he plans to spend the bulk
of his time “on the most impor
tant thing—a good strong vote
for statehood.”
He is unopposed for the Demo
cratic nomination for one of the
two TJ-S. Senate seats open to
Alaska as the 49th state.
Bartlett yesterday applauded as
constructive and helpful a direc
tive by President Eisenhower to
the Bureau of the Budget to take
the leadership on behalf of the
federal government in assisting
Alaska to make the transition
from territorial status to state
hood.
He said the bulletin issued by
Maurice H. Stans, Budget Bureau
Director, sets up a coordinate sys
tem for orderly transition.
“I am especially delighted to
know that these essential activ
ities will be carried on with the
knowledge and cooperation of the
government agencies called upon
to make their estimates on the
basis that “present differentials
which apply on a government
wide basis, such as those relat
ing to salaries and travel, will re
main in effect.”

To State of Alaska
ANCHORAGE, UR — "“Building
closer trade relations between

Alaska will do much to cement

Holmes of Oregon said on his
arrival here yesterday.
Gov. Holmes and his party ar
rived from Juneau and took a
short tour of the Anchorage area
before continuing their trip to
Fairbanks. They will return to
Anchorage today for a dinner to
be given by the Greater An
chorage Chamber of Commerce.

trial Consultant to the governor,
and Thqjnas M. Campbell, sec
retary of the Port of Portland
Commission.

Charge Japanese Products
Will Flood U.S. As Result
Of Reciprocal Trade Act
WASHINGTON, UR—'Congress’
extension of the Reciprocal Trade
Act will bring about increased
dumping of Japanese plywood and
fish products on the U*.S. market.
Rep. Mack (R-Wash) charged
yesterday.
“Plywood workers, fishermen
and cannery employees of the Pa
cific coast have been sold down
the river,” Mack said.
The Congressman said Japanese
exports to the United States had
slowed down during consideration
of the trade bill, but predicted a
sharp upswing now that the Presi
dent has signed the measure.
Mack said imports of Japanese
plywood last year totaled 686
million square feet. This, he
said, was equivalent to the out
put of U.S. plywood plants em
ploying 5,000 workers.
