Kishi Schores with
Treaty Ratification
As Mobs Howl
TOKYO (Sunday', itfl — Prime
Minister Kishi scored a victory
over his Communist and left wing
opponents today with final Par
liamentary approval of a new
military alliance with the United
States.
But thousands of demonstra
tors. who had chanted and snake
danced through the city shouting
opposition to the treaty up to mid
night, surrounded the Prime Min
ister’s official residence and
threatened to keep him penned
inside until he met with them.
The ratification evened the
score in a week of turmoil over
the treaty. The left wing had
claimed a victory when threats of
violence forced Kishi to with
draw an invitation to President
Eisenhower to visit Tokyo. It
failed in its drive against the
U. S.-Japan defense alliance when
the treaty was automatically rati
fied at a moment past midnight.
Thousands of students clustered
about the Prime Minister’s resi
dence. close by the Parliament
Building, and blocked all roads
and exits.
They vowed to remain until
Kishi met with them “in the same
manner as deposed South Korean
President Syngman Rhee met
with students” during the Korean
uprising that finally drove Rhee
from office.
Time had run out for the Com
munists and their Socialist allies
in the fight against the pact. The
automatic ratification came 30
days after approval of the treaty
by Parliament’s lower house.
Action by the upper house,
where Kishi’s Liberal-Democrats
have a 135-to-87 majority, could
have speeded the ratification, but
the party decided against it to
avoid a new explosion of leftist
anger and press criticism.
Kishi’s government expressed
gratification at the treaty’s pass
age. There was a similar reaction
from Washington.
The U. S. State Department
said: “We view this as another
demonstration of U. S.-Japanese
friendship. The United States
had made clear that the security
treaty will be mutually beneficial
to both countries.”

Appeals Court Clears
Two Women of Congress
Contempt Conviction
WASHINGTON, UP) — The U. S.
Court of Appeals Saturday struck
down the contempt of Congress
conviction of Mary Knowles, li
brarian of a Quaker-operated li
brary at Plymouth Meeting, Pa.
The court also set aside the con
viction of Goldie E. Watson, a
former Philadelphia school teach
er, and upheld the convictions of
six others.
All of the cases involved re
fusals to answer, in one way or
another, questions involving Com
munism before the House Com
mittee on Un-American Activities
or the Senate Internal Security
Subcommittee.
In none of the cases decided
did the witness invoke the Fifth
Amendment guarantee against self
incrimination. Instead, all relied
on the First Amendment, which
guarantees, ,among other things,
freedom of speech and assembly.
Among questions Mrs. Watson
refused to answer was whether
she ever had been a member of
the Communist party.
In reversing Mrs. Watson’s con
viction, the court said no attempt
had been made by the committee
or its counsel to explain to Mrs.
Watson the basis for the questions,
the nature and scope of the in
quiry, and he pertinency of the
questions.
The court directed that indict
ments against both Mrs. Knowles
and Mrs. Watson be dismissed.
This means that they cannot be
tried again.
Bartlett Challenges
Demos to Speak Up
On Top Issues
NEW YORK, UR — Senator Bob
Bartlett said Friday night the
candidate who wins the Demo
cratic nomination for President
would speak out vigorously on
foreign policy or he won’t de
serve the support of the people.
He made the remark in a speech
at the opening session of the 14th
Biennial State Convention of the
Affiliated Young Democrats of
New York State.
Bartlett noted there had been
suggestions that Democrats should
refrain from criticism of Amer
ican foreign policy at this time
and present a united front to the
world.
He commented:
“I should say, speaking for my
self, that if the Democratic nom
inee were to foreclose himself
from speaking out vigorously and
affirmatively on this subject . . .
that he would not be entitled to
our support. And surely he would
not command or deserve the sup
port of voting Americans.”
Bartlett also called for a re
evaluation of the country’s for
eign aid programs.
“One of the first considerations
of the Democratic Administration
taking office in January,” he
said, “should be to tackle this vast
program, bring order from chaos,
detfeHnine to do that which is
reedful, and remove it from the
heavy cloak of unnecessary se
crecy which now surrounds it.”
‘Where the Buffalo Roam’
AZTEC, N. M., UR — A band
of Ute Indians today ^talked a
buffalo across the low mountain
country of northwest New Mexico.
Nb bows and arrows for these
hurters, though, they were armed
with a gun that shoots tranquili
zer pellets.
The Utes want the buffalo cow
alive and in good shape. She is
one of seven the tribe keeps for
ceremonial purposes.
She left the tribal grounds in
southwestern Colorado Thursday
and wandered to near the Cedar
Hill community in northwest
New Mexico.
L.A. Police Reveal
Dead Pilot Crashed
For Insurance Cut
LOS ANGELES, — Residents
watched in horror as a twin-en
gine plane roared overhead, trail
ing flames.
The pilot opened his escape
hatch, but didn’t jump.
He stayed with the fiercely
burning craft until it smashed
into a remote canyon — and died
what was called a hero’s death.
That was three years ago. Po
lice Friday tarnished James
Gibbs’ claims to glory.
Gibbs, they said, took the plane
up to crash it on purpose — for
a share in $50,000 insurance
money.
Gibbs’ boss, they said, deliber
ately sabotaged the plane, to make
sure it wouldn’t return from the
flight.
Detectives booked Richard E.
Loomis, 45, on suspicion of murder.
Police said he collected $47,000
in insurance after the crash —
and refused to share it with
Gibbs’ survivors.
Did Gibbs, 32, know he was
going to die?
“He certainly didn’t go up
there to commit suicide,” said Sgt.
Pierce Brooks, who worked four
months on the bizarre case. “Ap
parently he just didn’t get a
chance to jump.”
The plane was a DeHaviland
Mosquito bomber, built in Bri
tain of plywood during World
War II. They were called “flam
ing coffins” because the plywood
was so quick to burn.
When Gibbs took off from
Lockheed Air Terminal, Burbank,
July 1, 1957, witnesses noticed
that the craft’s landing gear
didn’t retract properly.
Probers said excessive drag
from the landing gear might have
caused the engine to overheat,
setting the wooden plane afire.
Whether it was plotted this way
isn’t known.
But police say they are sure of
this: “Loomis sabotaged the
plane’s hydraulic system, which
controls the landing mechanism,
in such a way as to preclude a
safe landing.”
Detectives have an agreement
signed by Loomis and Gibbs two
days before the crash, in which
Loomis agreed to pay Gibbs 10
per cent of insurance proceeds if
the plane crashed.
Four days before the crash
Loomis insured the plane — pur
chased in England for $8,000 —
for $50,000. Lloyds of London paid
him $47,000 30 days after the
crash.
Loomis denied all charges.
The Los Angeles City • Council
honored Gibbs for riding the
plane down instead of bailing out
and leaving it to crash in the
populous San Fernando Valley.

Egan Breaks Ground
For State’s Youth Camp
PALMER, UPi — Ground was
broken yesterday for the state’s
first youth conservation camp, a
facility for delinquent boys sched
uled to open in September.
Gov. William Egan, who parti
cipated in the ceremonies, called
the $155,000 camp a modest but
positive approach to the problem
of rehabilitating wayward youths.
Upon completion, the camp will
be able to handle about 35 boys
between the ages of 14 and 17.
The camp will be the first state
owned juvenile facility in Alaska.
The State Department of Health
and Welfare, through its division
of special services, will manage
the camp and the youths com
mitted to it by the courts.
The camp is located in the Mata
nuska Valley, near King’s Lake.
