Tito Manages To Remain Independent
But Echoes Soviet Sentiments On
German Unity, Red Claims To Formosa!
By LYNN HEINZERLING ‘
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, UP) —
The Kremlin’s leaders wound up
their eight-day visit to President
Tito today. The Yugoslav marshal
apparently managed to hold fast
to his independence but echoed
Soviet sentiments on German
unity and Red Chinese claims to
Formosa.
Tito and his visitors closed their
parley last night with a declara
tion in general terms of principles
urging that the way be paved for
peaceful solution of world prob
lems.
The document said Yugoslavia
and the Soviet Union supported
“the satisfaction of the legitimate
rights of the (Communist) Peo
ple’s Republic of China with re
gard to Taiwan (Formosa) . . .”
It did not say, however, that
Peiping should fight for the is
land now held by Chiang Kai
Shek’s Nationalists.
The declaration also expressed
Yugoslav-Soviet support for Red
China’s claims to a seat in the
United Nations.
Yugoslavia has diplomatic re
lations with Red China and in
the past has backed her bid for
admission to the U.N. This was
the first time, however, that Tito
and the Soviets have joined in
pushing Peiping’s demands for
Formosa.
In Washington, the State De
partment declined to comment on
the statement until it had more
time to study the document. But
officials said privately there
seemed to be nothing new or
startling in the declaration.
Brooklyn Schoolchildren
Come Home With Strange
Malady of Blue Tongues
NEW YORK, Uf)—Eyes popped
in Brooklyn when a lot of the
kids started running around with
brilliantly blue tongues.
Mothers cried “poison,” and
rushed their offspring to Cumber
land Hospital.
Twenty-five boys and girls, be
tween 5 and 12, created a traffic
problem as well as a medical
puzzle in the emergency ward.
The blue-tongue epidemic soon
was solved.
A small boy had found a can
of pretty blue powder near the
Navy Yard as a public school
let out. He put a pinch of it on
his tongue — to see what would
happen.
His tongue turned blue. Other
kids did the same and, after ad
miring each other, romped off to
their homes. Then the excitement
started.
The can was found, and a lab
oratory test showed it held ink
powder containing “methylene
blue,” which hospital doctors said
was harmless. The kids all felt
fine and were chatting a blue
streak, but doctors decided to
hold them at the hospital over
night.

Khrushchev Kisses
Everybody But
Tito’s Wife
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, UR —
Nikita Khrushchev staggered out
of the Soviets’ goodbye party just
before 2 o’clock this morning,
issuing a blanket invitation to
everyone in earshot to visit
Russia.
For six hours he and Premier
Bulganin had entertained Yugo
slav President Tito, top officials
of Tito’s government and their
wives in a private room in the
Serbian parliament building. Sev
eral hundred lesser guests danced
in a concert hall nearby.
Khrushchev wound up the
party with kisses. After listing
down a long flight of marble steps
to his car, he bussed the wives
of vice president Ebvard Kardelj
and Moshe Pijade on the cheeks.
Tito’s handsome, wife — who
drank only tomato juice during
the evening — shook hands with
Khrushchev, Bulganin and deputy
Soviet Premier A. I. Mikoyan.
No one kissed her.
President’s Foreign
Aid Bill Passes The
Senate Without Cut
WASHINGTON, (JF1— President
Eisenhower’s 3 Vz billion dollar
foreign aid program sped to the
House today after comfortably
surviving all attempts in the Sen
ate to reduce the total.
Senate passage last night mark
ed the first time in five years a
global aid authorization measure
has won Senate approval without
a money cut. Also defeated were
attempts to require that a major
part of economic aid be made as
loans rather than goants.
The final vote was 59-18. The
program is already under con
sideration by the House Foreign
Affairs Committee.
The overwhelming approval re
corded by the Senate, however,
concealed a measure of strong
dissatisfaction on the part of
some senators who voted for the
bill. They served notice they
would fight to reduce the money
total in the Appropriations Com
mittee and later on the Senate
floor when the forthcoming
money bill is taken up. The legis
lation passed yesterday author
izes continuation of the seven
year - old aid program. Actual
money to carry it out must be
voted separately.
Sen. Mundt (R-SD), an Appro
priations Committee member, put
it plainly when he told the Sen
ate that he considered the author
ization a “maximum.”
“We are not signing a promis
sory note and guaranteeing to re
deem this amount” in the forth
coming appropriations bill, he
declared.

Nome Clean-Up
Extended a Week
The Clean-up Campaign will be
extended another week—until
June 11—stated chairman Stan
Morgan, due to the fact that the
project has been handicapped by
bad weather.
He states that wonderful cooper
ation has resulted in 76 loads be
ing handled by the city trucks to
date.
Heavy tractors have been prom
ised for this week to work on the
waterfront and beaches.
One spot that requires action,
he states, is the City Airport,
which should be one of the neatest
parts of the community. Instead,
it is littered with broken-down
planes, some of which have been
there for years and should be
cleared away along with quanti
ties of empty barrels.
It is hoped someone in the avi
ation groups will undertake to
supervise this area. Volunteers
may contact Chairman Morgan.
Chairman Morgan calls atten
tion to the city ordinances regu
lating piling of trash—
Section 1. It shall be unlawful
for any person, corporation, as
sociation, firm or family, to pile,
deposit, lodge, or place any gar
bage, refuse or trash whatsoever
upon or in the immediate vicinity
of the north side of the water
break as now constructed on the
south side of the City of Nome.
Section 2. It shall be unlawful
for any person, corporation, as
sociation, firm or family, to pile,
deposit, lodge or place any gar
bage, refuse or trash upon any
public or private lot, lots, or par
cel of real property within the
City of Nome except for tempor
ary purpose of being immediately
hauled away or picked up in reg
ular course through scavenger
service.
SOVIET PROPAGANDA
MAKES MOST OF MEETING
WITH YUGOSLAVS
MOSCOW, (AWThe entire So
viet propaganda organization
turned on its output full blast
today to represent the Russian
Yugoslav talks in Belgrade as a
^reat Soviet triumph against
“American intriguers and the
malicious American press.”
Pravda, Izvestia, the Soviet
radio and other organs splashed
the declaration of policy issued at
the conclusion of the talks and
claimed it dealt a crushing blow
to “imperialists” seeking to ex
ploit Yugoslav - Russian differ
ences.

In Case of War *God Help Aggressor’
Funeral Chapel Employes
Accused of Theft of $3,780
From Dead Man’s Pocket
MINEOLA, N. Y., US) — Two
funeral chapel employes were
accused today of a macabre theft
from a dead man’s pocket of
$3,780 in winning tickets on a
horse race.
Samuel Brandt, 62, of New
York City, had gone to Belmont
Park May 25 with a tip on Kitty
Lightner in the 8th race.
He bought seven $100 win
tickets, tucked them into a secret
pocket in his jacket, and sat back
to watch the race. Kitty Lightner
won and Brandt fell dead of a
heart attack.
Brandt had told his son, Daniel,
of Forest Hills, Queens, he in
tended to bet heavily on the
horse.
The son, on learning the horse
had won, was surprised that no
tickets or winnings had been re
ported found in the clothing. He
notified police and track detec
tives.
Two men approached the pay
off window yesterday to cash the
tickets. Waiting detectives arrest
ed them on grand larceny charges.
The detectives identified the
men as William G. Hanely, 30, of
Cliffside Park, N. J., a funeral
director for a Manhattan chapel,
and William J. Roff, 28, of the
Bronx, a chauffeur for the same
firm.
Detectives said the men found
the tickets in the secret pocket
while preparing Brandt for burial.
President Peron May Be
Excommunicated From
Roman Catholic Church
VATICAN CITY, UB—A Vatican
Monsignor said today President
Juan D. Peron has sinned gravely
in the Argentine church - state
feud and he may have been ex
communicated by the Roman
Catholic Church.
Peron, a Catholic, is leading a
government campaign restricting
traditional rights of the church
in Argentina, predominantly
Catholic. The feud opened last
November with a declaration by
Peron, denied by Catholic pre
lates, that some clergymen were
working to undermine his regime
politically.
“We cannot yet say whether he
(Peron) has fallen into the state
of excommunication, nor can we
deny it.
“But certainly, he is in grave
sin, and with him all the. legis
lators who have adopted the law
on divorce, eliminated religious
education from the schools and
concurred in the arrests of priests
and Catholic laymen.
“What is certain, if the presi
dent has not fallen into the state
of excommunication, is that he
is a very short step from it.”
Excommunication, one of the
major penalties of the church,
cuts persons from benefits and
membership in the church.

AP Aviation Reporter
TORONTO, (#—Air Vice Mar
shal J. L. Plant says a worldwide
atomic war appears inevitable.
The Western powers, in the view
of this ranking Canadian airman,
are keen, anxious, willing and
able to meet any Russian attack.
“And we will knock hell out
of them,” Plant told 300 U.S. and
Canadian aviation writers attend
ing a dinner session of their
association’s annual conference
last night. “If we fight the Rus
sians, we will beat the pants off
them or anyone else who wants
to take us on.
“In the event of any hostilities
breaking out, God help the ag
gressor.”
As to the prospect of a World
WAR III, he said as long as the
Western powers have greater
military capability and greater
stockpiles of war materials, the
Russians are not going to take
offense when other nations dis
agree with them.
“But the minute we have equal
ity,” he said, “therein lies the
danger of somebody losing his
temper.”
He told the conference that
aviation writers, “sometimes
quoting people like me,” have
contributed recently to “a flap—
a helluva panic” over growing
Russian air strength.
There is not the slightest ques
tion, he said, as to Western mili
tary superiority over Soviet Rus
sia.
Plant said a “lot of misguided
people” think of war in terms of
15 years from now—in terms of
pushbuttons and pilotless planes.
But airplanes with men in them,
he said, will continue to be re
quired for some time.
Drug Addiction
Remains Serious
Problem in U.S.
WASHINGTON, W—Narcotics
Commissioner Harry J. Anslinger
told Senate investigators Thurs
day there are about 60,000 drug
addicts in the United States—one
in every 3,000 persons.
“Despite the substantial prog
ress which has been made in the
field of narcotic drug control, An
slinger testified, “there is abun
dant evidence that drug addiction
remains a serious problem.”
The chief of the U.S. Narcotics
Bureau was a witness at the open
ing of hearings by a Senate Judi
ciary subcommittee looking to
ward stronger laws to attack the
narcotics problem.
The 60,000 figure, Anslinger said,
is exclusive of marihuana smok
ers, who are not “true addicts.”
The greatest concentration of
adicts, Anslinger said, are in the
New York, Chicago and Los An
geles areas. Most addicts, he said,
prefer heroin, which “commands
a dollar value far in excess of
gold.”
