Sen. Knowland’s Name To
Appear On 5 Preferential
Presidential Primaries
WASHINGTON, UR — Senator
Knowland was reported ready to
risk his conditional bid for the
Republican presidential nomina
tion on his showing in five pri
maries.
They are the ones in Illinois,
Alaska, Florida, Maryland and his
home state of California.
Knowland, the Senate GOP
leader, has made it clear he will
seek the nomination only if Presi
dent Eisenhower does not run.
He will visit New Hampshire
this weekend, but apparently pre
fers to stay clear of that state’s
March 13 primary unless he finds
a situation in which he feels he
cannot tactfully disavow delegate
candidates entered in his name.
Knowland strategists are not
overlooking state conventions
which will select delegates repre
senting 758 of the 1,323 national
nominating votes. But they ap
parently have concluded the sen
ator’s conditional candidacy will
get nowhere unless he demon
strates strength in the primaries.

Break Speed of Sound
NEW YORK, WV-Air Force Lt.

travel on the surface faster than
the speed of sound.
Stapp said in an interview that
the Air Force soon will have
available at Holloman Air Force
Base, N.M., a track along which
a rocket sled might speed at
more than 1,100 miles an hour.
Communist Bosses of Red
China To Take Over And
Socialize All Industry
TOKYO, UPT — The Red radio
said today Communist boss Mao
Tze-Tung has announced a new
program aimed at creating a
“socialist . revolution” in Red
China within three years.
It has two announced purposes
— a changeover of individual
farm ownership to collective own
ership and socializing all private
industry.
Mao ordered a speedup in both
phases last summer and since
then Peiping radio has claimed
that some 70 per cent of China’s
farmers have been pressed into
collectives and that nearly every
major city, including Peiping and
Shanghai, has adopted socialist
ownership of stores and industry.

Secretary Locked
In Vault 90 Minutes
CHICAGO, (tf)—Joyce Thomas,
22 - year - old secretary, spent a
busy, hectic 90 minutes in a
locked records vault in the of
fices of the Major Foundry Com
pany in suburban Franklin Park
yesterday.
After the door of the large
vault—7 feet high, 3 feet wide,
10 feet deep — clanged shut be
hind her. Miss Thomas pounded
impatiently on the door for help.
Michael Goyack, 35, a pattern
maker, advised here to read the
the directions on the door. They
read: “You are not locked in.
Escape device—'press button, turn
handle, and push open.”
Miss Thomas followed direc
tions. The door did not open.
Goyack slipped a nail file and
a screwdriver without a handle
through a small opening under
the door to Miss Thomas. She un
screwed a 75-pound plate on the
door. Still no luck with the lock.
Police arrived but were unable
to help. They fed oxygen under
the door, fearing Miss Thomas
might suffocate.
Another call was made to the
Chicago Sale and Vault Co. and
R. M. Schwarze hurried from his
home in suburban Oak Park to
the foundry office. He drilled two
holes into the door with an elec
tric drill. He peered through them
I and saw that a bar in the lock
had jammed.
Following Schwarze’s direc
tions, Miss Thomas lifted the bar
with the screwdriver, opened the
door and walked out.
“Now I know,” Miss Thomas
! said, “what solitary confinement
is like. I’ll never be mad at being
‘ in a crowd.”
