U. S. Criticizes Soviet
Secrecy in Geneva Speech
GENEVA, UPI — The United
States told the Soviet Union today
the Soviet obsession with military
secrecy is the major obstacle to a
-world disarmament treaty.
In a strongly worded speech to
the deadlocked lft-nation disarma
ment conference, U. S. Ambas
sador Frederick M. Eaton said the
free world regards the Soviet ob
sessive military secrecy as “the
aggressor’s cloak.”
Soviet Delegate Valerian Zorin
replied that the Soviet Union re
fused to discuss controls only as
long as the West refused to dis
cuss the Soviet disarmament plan.
Newspaper Editors Told to
Justify Reader Confidence
WASHINGTON, UPi — The pres
ident of the American Society of
Newspaper Editors told the na
tion’s press Thursday it should im
prove its own performance if it
expects public support in break
ing official secrecy barriers.
In a message at the opening of
the society’s annual meeting here,
J. R. Wiggins, executive editor of
the Washington Post, reported
some gains in ASNE’s long battle
against news suppression.
But he called on the society to
take measures to strengthen it
self as an organization worthy to
represent “a profession that is in
many ways, the most important in
the country.” He urged greater
efforts by newspapers, individual
ly and as an industry, to justify
the faith and confidence of their
readers.

De Gaulle Receives
Lukewarm Reception in
Big French-Canadian City
MONTREAL, UR — President
Charles De Gaulle of France re
ceived a disappointingly cool re
ception in Montreal, the second
largest French-speaking city in
the world.
Only small groups gathered, to
watch his mo* rcade from the air
port to City riall, and from there
through downtown Montreal.
The tall, austere French leader
was greeted by crowds of several
hundred at the Windsor Hotel,
where he attended a reception,
and at a wreath-laying ceremony
at the nearby war memorial.
All Alaskan Pilots
Weather Observers
WASHINGTON — As an added
safety measure, the Federal Avia
tion Agency has requested every
pilot flying in Alaska to report the
weather whenever he contacts a
flight service station. The infor
mation is "then used to brief pilots
for flights within 100 miles of the
station, with the data kept cur
rent on an hourly basis. The U. S.
Weather Bureau officially accepts
any pilot licensed by the FAA as
an observer, recognizing his
knowledge of weather as it af
fects flying.

Legislative Bills Approved
Now Total 150
JUNEAU, — A bill revamp
ing the embryo State Public Serv
ice Commission was signed into
law by Governor Egan yesterday.
It was one of four bills ap
proved by the Governor during
the morning, raising to 150 the
number of new laws enacted so
far this year.
Still left for action were some
30 other bills passed by the 1960
Legislature before its adjourn
ment last month. The Governor
said he hoped to complete action
on most of the measures by
Saturday.
In other action, the Governor
signed into law a measure provid
ing for a board of electrical exam
iners — a rewritten version of a
bill he vetoed in 1959.
The Governor called the pre
vious bill unworkable, but said
the 1960 measure provided for
adequate procedures for the regu
lation and licensing of electrical
contractors.
Also approved was a bill set
ting penalties for motor vehicle
dealers who fail to register and
post surety bonds as required by
a 1950 act.
Another bill signed into law
gave the State Athletic Commis
sion responsibility for the regula
tion of boxing matches and
wrestling exhibitions in the state,
and set licensing provisions and
fees for managers, trainers and
others connected with the ring
sports.

‘No Question’ We Will 1
Soon Have Supersonic
Transports, Says Convair
FORT WORTH, Tex., (VP) — A
Convair official says the United
States could have supersonic air
liners making the Washington-to
Moscow run in three hours if de
signers use already proved ad
vances.
The official, R. C. Sebold, told
the Convair management club
yesterday that all commercial de
signers need are the advances now
used in the Air Force’s new B-58
Hustler bomber. It travels at
twice the speed of sound. Convair
builds the swept-wing ships here.
“There is no question of the
certainty of supersonic airliners,”
Sebold said. “The only question
is, “When.”
Such an airliner, he said, prob
ably would closely resemble the
Delta-winged bomber except for
a larger fuselage for passengers.

BEATNIK
PITTSBURGH, (51 — Detective
Matt Vaniel, who usually drives

J
Work Boycott In
So. Africa Fizzles;
150 More Arrested
JOHANNESBURG, UP) — The
week set aside by Negro leaders
■for a work boycott against the
nation’s white supremacy policies
passed the halfway mark today
with no sign of any widespread
suport.
But police pressed their cam
paign of wholesale arrests.
About 150 Negroes were seized
in native settlements around Port
Elizabeth and another 85 in
Windemere Township. This
brought the week’s total of arrests
to about 1,500 in the eastern half
of Cape Province alone.
The Negroes were being tried
and sentenced on charges of hav
ing no pass books required of non
whites, illegal residence in urban
areas and loafing.
The strike fizzled for various
reasons, but mostly economic
ones. Negro pay is low and their
savings, if any, small. The fragile
Negro leadership was also riddled
by arrests.
There were reports in Johannes
burg — where trade and transport
is continuing normally — that
some Negroes are undertaking at
least a trial buying strike.
Some small merchants who
cater to Negroes said their cus
tomers are keeping purchases near
a minimum these days.
