ANOTHER THEORY GONE WRONG
ARE WAVING A BIT OF TROUBLE TODAY.
Dulles to Decide
On Future of
Disarmament Talks
WASHINGTON, MV—President
Eisenhower Saturday ordered
Secretary of State Dulles to fly
Sunday to the London disarma
ment talks. Officials said Dulles
will recide whether to continue or
break off the talks.
A White House announcement
said Eisenhower considered the
problems at London “of such im
portance as to require the secre
tary’s personal review and judge
° ment.”
Dulles will confer with Harold
E. Stassen, who continues as the
head of the American disarma
ment delegation.
Possibly Dulles may talk to So
viet Delegate Valerian Zor:n, He
certainly will meet with the three
other Western delegations from
Britain, France and Canada.
Asked why the long-drawn-out
talks had suddenly required Dul
les’ personal attention, officials
replied that the time was oppor
tune to review progress achieved
and the problems remaining.
Both Eisenhower and Dulles,
they said, felt there was no sub
stitute for personal conferences.
Such face-to-face diplomacy is
much more satisfactory than ex
changing transatlantic cables, the
officials said.
Dulles is expected to make a
decision whether to carry on the
talks or call it quits. He would
then make, a recommendation to
Eisenhower, who would make the
ultimate decision.

Japan Will Not
Be Bound by
Vladivostok Order
TOKYO, UP)—The Foreign Of
fice said Saturday Japan has pro- |
tested Russia’s closing of most of
Vladivostok Bay to foreign ships
and planes and will not be bound
by the order.
The Foreign Office said a note j
delivered in Moscow informed the
•Soviets the order was “a viola
tion of the general principle of
international law and therefore j
illegal.”
Kyodo News Service, in a dis-1
patch from its Moscow correspon-1
dent, said Japan also demanded!
the release of Japanese fishermen j
seized by the Soviets in interna- \
tional waters. [
The Japanese ambassador in
Moscow told the Soviets Japan
considers Vladivostak Bay “tra
ditional fishing grounds of Ja
pan,” Kyodo said.
Japanese authorities said 25
fishing boats and 63 Japanese fish
ermen were in Soviet hands as of I
last June 30. A total of 56 boats j
and 572 crewmen were seized I
during the first six months of
1957, they added, and 31 boats
and 509 fishermen were released.

LIBERTY, N.C., (IB—'The small
party at Ralph C. Johnson Jr.’s I
home near here was to be a wien- I
| er roast. Ralph left his two guests
j to prepare the table while he
j went to a grocery store in his car.
After waiting awhile, Robert H.
! Patrum, 19, and Alton L. Smith,
20, grew impatient and decided
to drive after their host.
The highway patrol said the
two cars met head-on at a curve

WILLIAM F. QUINN APPOINTED
TO GOVERNORSHIP OF HAWAII
HONOLULU, GB—William F.
Quinn, who will be nominated by
President Eisenhower to be gov
ernor of Hawaii, is a husky, curly
haired father of six with a vote
getting tenor voice.
Quinn is only 38, and a Harvard
trained lawyer.
He has lived here 10 years, and
has never won a political office.
However, the personable native
of Rochester, N.Y.,impressed all
political observers here in his
only losing try last November for
the Territorial Senate.
He led all Republican cam
paigners for the three seats open
on the island of Oahu, where
Honolulu is located, but couldn’t
overcome the Democratic tide
that swept the island. He polled
43,000 votes.
Active Statehood Supporter
! Quinn is a Roman Catholic. He
was a naval officer in the war, as
was his predecessor, Samuel
Wilder King, who resigned Fri
day.
I He is an active supporter of
statehood for Hawaii, and served
an appointed term on the State
hood Commission.
The young lawyer also was
elceted chairman of the 1957 ter
ritorial Republican convention.
Altho both houses of Hawaii’s
legislature are Democratic, the
governor traditionally is a mem
ber of the party in power in the
nation’s capital. He is appointed
to the job, the territory’s highest.
Surprise and Shock
His selection by Eisenhower
came as a distinct surpriseL-and

to some as a solid shock.
A week ago he wasn’t even con
sidered in the running for the job
held by Republican wheehorse
King, who is 70 years old.
Initial Republican reaction was
generally lukewarm.
Democrats, who had scrapped
vigorously with crusty, conserva
tive King, were most outspoken
against the Quinn nomination.
Many rallied to King’s defense.
King issued a brief, routine
statement on the appointment. He
was known to be eager for anoth
er term.
A Forceful Illustration
Democrat O. Vincent Esposito,
speaker of the House, said King
was not dealt with “in a fair man
ner.”
Esposito said the nomination
“forcefully illustrates our need
for more say in the control of our
government.”
Democrat William Heen, presi
dent of the Territorial Senate,
said he thought the fact the Re
publicans lost the last two elec
tions here, after unbroken suc
cess since, 1900 was a factor in
replacing King.
Woman, 74, Trapped
Eight Days in Bathtub
SAN FRANCISCO, (#)—M r s.
Betty Schardt was reported gain
ing back her strength today in
French Hospital after her eight
day ordeal of being trapped in a
bathtub.
The 74-year-old widow was
found Thursday night after her
neighbors, noticing a stock of
newspapers on her doorstep,
called police. She had fallen para
lyzed into the empty bathtub, and
her cries for help were drowned
out by ?. blaring television set.
Hospital attendants said her
condition is “surprisingly good.”
Air Force
Economy Reduces
Production Rate
WASHINGTON, —A new
economy move by the Air Force
will reduce the production rates
of three U.S. fighter planes.
The service informed three air
craft companies Friday of forth
coming “stretch-outs”—m e a n in g
deliveries of planes already or
dered will be spread over a long
er period than originally specified.
The notices went to the McDon
nel Aircraft Co., St. Louis, which
makes the F-101 interceptor; to
Lockheed Aircraft Corp., Bur
bank, Calif., producers of the
F-104, and to Convair, San Diego,
which makes the F-106.
The brief Air Force announce
ment indicated a stretchout aver
aging one year is in prospect. It
said “it is believed none of these
changes will foreseeably reduce
employment below present level.”
The Air Force is getting $314
million less than the $6,200 mil
lion it asked for new airplanes in
the current fiscal year.
The Aircraft Industries Assn,
warned its members last week
that “serious adjustments” will be
necessary as a result of govern
ment plans to level of defense ex
penditures.
The association predicted “fur
ther program stretch-outs, cut
backs and cancellations” would
result.
