Anthony Eden Accepts Invitation
To Pay Return Visit to Soviet Union
LONDON, UP>—Soviet Commu
nist Leader Nikita Khrushchev in
sisted today Moscow would wel
come a ban on all shipments of
arms to the explosive Middle East
—provided other nations were
similarly pledged.
At the same time Premier Bul
ganin announced Prime Minister
Eden has accepted an invitation
to visit the Soviet Union. Bulgan
in also made it clear the Russians
expected Britain to take the lead
m improving Soviet relations with
the United States.
Khrushchev and Bulganin spoke
at a mass farewell news confer
ence shortly before they started
homeward after a 10-day round of
conferences with Prime Minister
Eden and a tour of Britain. They
described themselves as well sat
isfied.
Two hours later the Communist
boss and Soviet Premier boarded
the Soviet cruiser Ordzhonikidze
in Portsmouth Harbor and headed
home.
The two leaders agreed to an

Hickel Still Leads
Benson as GOP
Committeeman
(By the Associated Press >
Walter Hickel of Anchorage to
day continued to lead Territorial
Labor Commissioner Henry Ben
son for Republican national com
mitteeman for Alaska.
The lead for the Anchorage bus
inessman, who is the present party
(X>mmitteeman, stood at 416 today
on the basis of unofficial Associ
ated Press tabulations.
The figures were: Hickel 3,667;
Benson 3,251.
The interest in the race was in
creased by the well recognized
distaste with which many Repub
lican leaders view Benson’s prom
inence in party affairs. They have
criticized the labor commissioner’s
role as a Republican standard
bearer in the past on the grounds
that he has drawn much of his
political support for labor com
missioner from Democrats.
Special interest is centering on
a race for one of the Democratic
nominations for the territorial
Senate in the First Division. The
contest is between Sen. Marcus
Jensen of Douglas and Henry Ro
den of Juneau, former treasurer,
a former attorney general and a
member of the first territorial leg
islature. Returns yesterday after
noon gave Jensen a slight lead,
2,295 to 2,199. The other Demo
cratic Senate nomination was won
by ex-Sen. Frank Petrovich, w'ho
was about 430 ahead of Jensen.
tral Hall, hard by the Houses of
Parliament. Many of the questions
were hostile in tone, and these
Khrushchev took for himself.
Tired, but in obvious good hu
mor, he deftly and jovially jug
gled words on Soviet intentions in
the Middle East, the nuclear arms
race, prospects for a top level So
viet visit to the United States, and
prospects for British-Soviet trade.
His performance was watched by
millions of Britons on television.
While the Soviet leaders said
they were pleased with the results
of their talks, a prepared state
ment read by Bulganin reflected
dissatisfaction on such issues as
disarmament and British-Soviet
trade.
Bulganin said in some places
the talks struck “underground
rocks.”
“It is no good, as they say, fool
ing ourselves,” the white-goateed
Premier said. “For the present,
the problem of disarmament is in
a bad way.”
In reply to one question, Khrush- ;
chev indicated Soviet leaders
might want to visit the United
States—if they thought it could
be profitable. Smiling, he parried
the direct question by answering:
“The United States is a very in
teresting country, and who would
not like to visit it if he had busi
ness there?”

Retires as Vi or 1<1
| Boxing Champ
NEW YORK, ij'P'—Rocky Marci
ano, never beaten in his 49 pro
fessional fights, retired today as
heavyweight champion of the
world.
The stocky, amiable boxer
made public his decision at a hast
ily called news conference here.
No unbeaten heavyweight cham
pion before ever has retired and
made it stick. Gene Tunney re
tired unbeaten as a champion in
1928, but his record was marred
by an earlier defeat as a light
heavyweight. James Jeffries re
tired in 1905 and Joe Louis in
1949, but both came back later
and were beaten.
In fighting trim, Marciano
weighed around 188. Now he has
bulged to 210. Always careful with
his money, and a devoted family
man, Marciano is comfortably well
off. His professional purses were
approximately 81,700,000, but of
course he could keep only a frac
tion of this.
His wife Barbara played an im
portant factor in persuading him
to retire. Shortly before Rocky
called the news conference, Mrs.
Marciano telephoned Vic DuBois,
sports editor of the Brockton,
Mass., Enterprise, and told him
her husband was quitting.
She explained she had been
“pleading and begging.” with him
for her sake and that of their
daughter. Mary Anne, to give up
boxing.
Marciano, who will be 33 on
Sept. 21, won the championship
from Jersey Joe Walcott in 13
rounds at Philadelphia Sept. 23,
1952, dnd defended it six times.

Penny Stock Broker
Indicted on $15 Million
Uranium Stock Fraud
NEW YORK, UK—'The nation’s
biggest broker of penny stocks
was indicted yesterday in an el
leged $15 million uranium stock
fraud.
A 14-count federal indictment

erated a Jersey City, N.J., broker

sive stock dealings.

b (By the Associated Press*
Exultant Republicans were vir
tually certain of an Eisenhower
Nixon ticket again this year. If
the Democrats were worried about
battling the same combination
that beat them in 1952, they were
not showing it.
Vice President Nixon’s an
nouncement yesterday that he will
seek re-election ended any slight
doubt as to his intentions. Presi
dent Eisenhower said he was “de
lighted” at Nixon’s decision.
Thus, unless Eisenhower’s health
should falter, renomination of the
GOP’s 1952 team at the party’s
August convention in San Fran
cisco appears to be a foregone
conclusion.
House Republican Leader Mar
tin of Massachusetts predicted the
Eisenhower-Nixon ticket would
be renominated “by acclamation.”
Senate Republican Leader Know
land of California said Nixon’s an
nouncement “clarifies the political
atmosphere.” He said the party
now can “close ranks and direct
attention to gaining majorities in
the Senate and House,” where the
Democrats now are ki control.
GOP National Chairman Leon
ard W. Hall said Nixon has been
“a great vice president.”
Sen. Kefauver told newsmen in t
Pittsburgh an Eisenhower-Nixon
ticket “is as strong as the Repub
licans could put up.” But, he add
ed, “I feel certain the Democrats
will win in November.”
From all indications, Nixon will
do much of the Republican ball
carrying in the coming political
ball-carrying in the coming politi
cal campaign. Some of the things
he has said of them in the past
aroused considerable resentment
among Democrats.
Zeroing in on the vice president,
Democratic National Chairman
Paul M. Butler said he feels sure
“an overwhelming majority of
American voters . of both parties
believe that Mr. Nixon is not the
type of person to be in a position
from which he may succeed to the
presidency. . .”
