Eisenhower Kills Bill
Passed Over Veto
Of Guam Governor
NEWPORT, Rhode Island, —
President Eisenhower has killed
a bill passed by the Legislature of
Guam over the veto of the island
governor, Richard B. Lowe.
Eisenhower, backing the gov
ernor, vetoed a bill which would
have provided for reconfirmation
by the Guam Legislature of cer
tain officials appointed by the
governor. Such a reconfirmation
would have been required any
time there was a change in Guam
governors.
Eisenhower, who has final veto
power, said .the bill would result
in divided responsibility.

Russia Tells U.N.
West To Blame
For Mid-East Crisis
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., MV
The Soviet Union warned the
U.N. today it cannot watch im
passively while Western nations
are turning the Middle East “into
a permanent hotbed of military
conflicts.”
Foreign Minister Andrei A.
Gromyko declared the tense situ
ation in that area bears closely
on Russia’s security.
He struck back vigorously at
charges made by Secretary of
State Dulles Russia was risk
ing a Middle Ea§t conflict by
sending arms to Arab countries.
The real cause of the trouble, he
said, is Western attempts to dom
inate the area.
He accused the West of invent
ing charges against the Soviet
Union to hide its own intentions
to dominate the Middle East.
He placed the blame on the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza
tion (NATO) and asserted that
“rude political and economic pres
sure is being exerted” against
Syria.

Grand Jury
To Probe Deaths
At Morningside
PORTLAND, 051—A grand jury
investigation of deaths of patients
at Morningside Hospital was
called for next Thursday by Rep.
Chudoff (D-Pa) as a House sub
committee closed a hearing on the
hospital.
Chudoff, chairman of the sub
committee, did not elaborate, but
earlier a doctor said there were
questionable matters in the deaths
of 11 patients in the 1948-1955
period and that gross negligence
was involved in at least one.
The doctor, Ivor Campbell, the
chief of psychiatric services for
the Veterans Administration re
gional office, said outside the
hearing room that he meant the
hospital was negligent in not pro
viding enough qualified assistants
—not that any doctor at the hos
pital was negligent.
Under federal contract the hos
pital cares for mental patients
from Alaska.
An agent of the federal Gener
al Accounting Office said Wayne,
M. Coe, president and treasurer
of the hospital, realized $1,137,413
from hospital income in the 1936
1955 period, including more than
$183,060 in personal expenses
charged to the hospital.
He said among items Coe had
charged up was $4,281 for a trip
Coe and his wife took to South
Africa and Europe.
Reps. Hoffman and Knox (both
R-Mich) again protested Chudoff
was calling only the witnesses he
wanted to hear. They said wit
nesses were waiting to testify in
defense of the hospital.
