Stassen Says It’s Possible
For U.S. and Russia To
Agree On Disarmament
PHILADELPHIA, —It should
be possible for the United States
and Russia to agree on gradual
disarmament, Harold E. Stassen,
special assistant to President Ei
senhower, said here.
Stassen told the World Affairs
Council Youth Forum that “even
though there are great differ
: ences between nations there is in
fact a mutual interest in not hav
' ing war.”
“Thus,” he said, ‘‘it should be
| possible through a persistent and
| intelligent approach from both
' sides to reach agreement on the
' step-by-step opening up of in
spection and the gradual reduc
tion of armaments.”
: He said Russia’s earth satellites
and missile advances have made
the world realize the importance
of agreement leading to a safe
guarded disarmament.
“It is clear,” added the Presi
dent’s disarmament advisor, “that
a modern war would result in a
vast net loss to both sides.”

Young Lady Hawaiian
Legislator Looks Forward
To Seat In U.S. Congress
WASHINGTON, M — Patsy
Mink, 29—year-old member of
the Hawaii legislature, is looking
forward to the day when she can
run for a seat in Congress.
Mrs. Mink, a newcomer to
politics, is *in Washington for
three days of meetings in her
new role as vice president of the
Young Democratic Clubs.
Elected to the Hawaii house of
representatives in her first cam
paign two years ago, Mrs. Mink
said in an interview she will run
for the Hawaii senate this year.
After that?
“Well, some day I would like
to be in the Congress of the
'United States,” she said.
Before that can happen, Ha
waii will have to be admitted
to the union as a state.
Mrs. Mink, mother of a 5-year
old daughter, is all for that.
“We have been brought up
right through school in constant
hope of statehood,” she said. “And
still we’re only half citizens. It’s !
all very discouraging. The people j
of the Far East passing through !
call us a colony—and we just
hate that.”

Two Soviet Freighters
Damaged In Pacific Storm
To Repair at Midway Is.
HONOLULU, UP) — The first
two Soviet Russian ships to call
at Midway Island since it be
came an American base were ex
pected there Monday.
The grain steamers Gen. Pan
filov and Odessa, bound for Vlad
ivostok from Vancouver, B. C.,
headed there after the Navy oiler
Ashtabula reached them Friday
night. They were 400 miles north
west of Midway, where the Navy
is building a highly classified
early warning air patrol wing
base.
The Ashtabula reported the
Panfilov’s superstructure was
damaged by a North Pacific storm
which is fading away, and some
of her lifeboats were lost but
the Panfilov’s master said he
was not in need of help so the
Ashtabula was released.
The Navy on Thursday granted
special permission for the two
Soviet vessels and a British
freighter to put in at Midway
for refuge and repairs. It sent
the Ashtabula and the Coast
Guard sent the Cutter Bering
Strait to aid.
The two Russian vessels and
the British freighter reported
they were low on supplies and
water after battling the storm.
Comes The Revolution?
MOSCOW, UP) — The Soviet
press, which long has derided the
American comic strips as degrad
ing and uncultured, made a mild
attempt today at one of its own.
The semiweekly Moscow News
came out with a four-panel strip
showing a youth jumping a
wooden fence to escape a puppy
only to land in a yard where
there is a huge, ferocious-looking
dog.
The strip’s moral tone seemed
unlikely to harm Soviet youth.
Death In The Cemetery
KHORRAMSHAHR, Iran, (#1—
Disturbed because of the failure
of the American Vanguard satel
lite, Hooshang Pourzandi, 25, a
mechanic, determined to build
one of his own.
His assistant, Ali Bardestani,
said Pourzandi ‘‘became very up
set when the American Vanguard
failed to take off and decided to
make one to compete with the
Russians.”
Friday, they set up Pourzandi’s
31-inch rocket in the local ceme
tery. It exploded and killed Pour
zandi and injured Bardestani.
