Russia Must Give Satellites More
Freedom Or Resort To Oppression
WASHINGTON, UD — Secre
tary of State Dulles said today
Russia faces a choice of giving
its satellites more freedom or
resorting to oppressions that in
crease “the likelihood of revolt.”
He testified before the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee
while a majority of that group
was still smarting over the 43-42
defeat last night of a proposal to
encourage Eastern European na
tions to loosen Moscow’s con
trol.
That plan, which the committee
wrote into the foreign aid author
ization bill in an amendment by
Sen. John F. Kennedy (D-Mass),
would have permitted President
Eisenhower to use aid money in
satellite countries if he deter
mined it would help or encour
age them to take a course in
dependent of Moscow.
The administration backs the
principle but Eisenhower came
out Wednesday for handling it in
separate legislation rather than
the foreign aid bill.
“The Soviet rulers must
either grant more independence,
and thus liberate forces which op
pose the existing regimes, or ejse
they must revert to the Stalin
ist tactics of oppression with in
creased likelihood of violent re
volt,” Dulles said.
He said Russia’s “vacillating
policy” illustrates the dilemma.
He described as encouraging
Russia’s agreement to join in
scientific studies of policing an
atomic test suspension and also
Soviet acceptance of the U. S.
proposal to confer on neutraliz
ing the Antarctic.
But Dulles added that the cold
war cannot be ended “by a form
ula of words so long as the basic
creed of international Communism
requires world rule.”

On the question of who is to
become chairman of the AEC,
Mrs. Anne Wheaton, associate
Presidential press secretary, said
that Eisenhower will not desig
nate a new chairman until the
Senate has acted on the McCone
nomination.

well as having widespread busi
ness interests. He was a De
fense Department official in the
administration of former Presi
dent Truman, serving as deputy

1948 and as Under Secretary of
the Air Force in 1950-51.
A personal friend of Presi
dent Eisenhower, McCone has
been a frequent visitor to the
White House.
Strauss is leaving the AEC
June 30 when his current five
year term expires. His decision
to step down as chairman and an
AEC member was announced by
the White House yesterday.
Strauss gave no specific reason
for his decision. But he said in
a letter to President Eisenhower
that he believed “circumstances
beyond the control of either of us
make a change in the chairman
ship of the commission advis
able.”

Revolution Must End

Charles de Gaulle told repre
sentatives of all-Algeria Public
Safety Committee today its in

to bring him to power: “You
must not trespass or substitute
yourselves for legal authority.
Your task is to work for a com
plete integration of souls.”
In a pergonal approach to the
safety committee' members, de
Gaulle said: “You have no
more revolutions to make. One
does not make a revolution every
day. Otherwise you could des
troy what you have built.”
While he was inside the build
ing a group of Moslem youths
sped by the crowds outside and
shouted:
“Frenchmen to the gallows.”

NORWALK, Calif., M — Two
10-year-old boys admitted tying
a younger boy to railroad tracks,
Sheriff’s deputies said today.
“We wanted to frighten him,”
one of the boys said.
Michael Evans, 7, was rescued
Monday by his father, Frank,
just before a train reached the
spot where he was found with
his head toward the tracks.
The father had been told of
his son’s plight by two of Mich
ael’s playmates.
Evans said he grabbed one of
the boys who had tied his son
■but let him go as the train ap
proached. Michael said the boys
earlier had tried to hang him
to a telephone pole.
Officers located the two 10
year-olds by systematically check
ing schools. Evans and his son
identified them.
The boys were released to their
parents pending action by ju
venile court. Their names were

Walkout Closes
Chrysler Corp.
Plant In Detroit
DETROIT, UPI — Chrysler Corp.
today shut down assembly oper
ations at its Plymouth body and
assembly plants in Detroit. This
was the first such action by any
of the car makers during oper
ations without contracts.
The company said 2,700 em
ployees were sent home after 100
members of the United Auto
Workers union walked off the
job in the trim department of the
Plymouth body plant.
The UAW, which has instructed
all members to work as usual
during a no-contract period, had
no immediate comment.
Chrysler said two employees
who served as union stewards un
der the old contract refused to
work at assigned jobs and pro
voked a walkout.
Chrysler vice president John
D. Leary, who has directed fruit
less contract negotiations with the
UAW, said: “This is a clear case
of the union needlessly throwing
its own members out of work and
at a time when thousands of
other members of the UAW are
unemployed.”
The shutdown came as UAW
president Walter P. Reuther
sought to prevent incidents in
volving workers at General
Motors and Chrysler yesterday
from disrupting the uneasy truce
in auto industry contract nego
tiations.
Senate Statehood Opponent Will
Offer Commonwealth Status In Stead
WASHINGTON, UR — One of
the leaders of the 1954 Senate
fight against statehood for Alas
ka and Hawaii said today he
hasn’t changed his mind.
Sen. Mike Monroney (D-Okla)
said he plans to renew his sug
gestion during Senate debate on
the House-passed bill that the
northern territory be given com
monwealth status similar to that
of Puerto Rico.
He added, however, that he ex
pects the Senate to reject the
proposal as it did four yars ago.
Monroney said in an interview
commonwealth status would give
Alaskans all benefits of state
hood except voting representa
tion in the House and Senate.
To offset the lack of voting rep
resentation, he would add an ex
emption from federal taxation,
also similar to that of Puerto
Rico.
The Oklahoman said he felt
one of Alaska’s principal handi
caps was the lack of investment
capital to spur development of
its resources. An exemption from
federal taxation, effective for
possibly 10 years, could provide
the necessary attraction to needed
capital, he said.
Monroney said the common
wealth proposal has the support
of only a few Alaskans but at
tributed this to a general lack
of information concerning it.
Whether his proposed amend
ment is adopted or not, Monroney
said he doesn’t expect Alaska’s
bid for statehood to be success
ful this year.
Although he left the door open
for the Senate approval of the
Alaska bill, he said he did not
believe there would be time to
iron out possible differences be
tween the House and Senato
bills before Congress adjourns.
Decline In Idle
Workers Reported
By Govt. In May .
WASHINGTON, UP) — The gov
ernment reported today an im
proved employment situation in
May. There was substantial rise
among those employed and a de
cline in the number of idle
workers.
A joint report by the Commerce
and Labor Departments put May
employment at 64,061,000, up
1.154.000 from April.
Unemployment declined by
216.000 to 4,904,000—lowest idle
figure since January.
The job gajn was attributed to
seasonal expansion in agriculture
and service employment plus a
bigger than usual gain in con
struction. The report said a
sharp pickup in outdoor work
represented in part recovery
from delay caused by especially
bad weather earlier in the year.
The employment rise in May
was much greater than the drop
in unemployment primarily be
cause of those joining the farm
labor force were housewives and
students who had been outside
the labor force in April.
The report said sizable re
ductions in unemployment among
previously jobless workers Were
partially offset by an increasing
number of students seeking sum
mer jobs. This student influx
into the labor force is expected
to push the unemployment total
well over the five million mark in
June or July.

Polaris Missile
Breaks Up In
Tough Test
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., UPV—
A Navy Polaris experimental
missile streaked skyward today
on what was described as its
toughest test yet but it broke
apart after a short flight.
The slim rocket roared straight
up for some 20 seconds. At
least one section plummeted in
to the ocean where crash boats
were standing by.
The Navy said the mission
was “to test certain components
of the Navy Polaris missile sys
tem under more difficult con
ditions than on previous launch
ings.”
Officials explained later that
the rocket motor exhausted its
fuel in a short time and the
Polaris began to tumble end
over end high in the sky.
The breakup was due to aero
dynamic forces pressing against
the missile as it fell.
