Japan Will Support
U.S. 3-Mile Shore
Limit Stand
SEATTLE, UPi—Japanese Prime
Minister Nobusuke Kishi says his
country will stand with the
United States in favor of keeping
the three-mile territorial waters
limit.
He commented here Friday
night during a stop on his return
trip to Japan after signing a new
security treaty that makes his na
tion an equal free-world partner
with the United States.
“Our country, like the United
States, stands for freedom of the
seas and the traditional three
mile limit,” Kishi said.
The issue will come before a
law-of-the-sea conference in Ge
neva. Canada and some other
countries want a 12-mile limit.
United States fishing interests are
opposing a change.
Kishi said he was confident of
ratification of the new treaty by
Japan’s Diet.
“In Japan,” he said, "It is the
leftists — the Communists and
the Socialists — who oppose the
treaty. I expected their opposi
tion.
“But I am confident we will
be able to obtain ratification
through the democratic process
of debate.”
Kishi’s party is returning to
Tokyo via Anchorage.
Runaway U. S. Heiress
Shipped Home from Paris
While Lover is Kept Busy
PARIS, UPi — A Paris judge
Saturday gave the custody of run
away heiress Gamble Benedict to
her brother, who immediately
bundled her aboard a New York
bound plane. She was weeping.
A juvenile court judge ap
pointed brother Douglas Gamble
as guardian after a hearing in the
rambling old Palace of Justice,
where her Romanian-born mar
ried boy friend, Andre Porum
bea^u, was kept pacing in the
halls.
While Douglas hustled his sis
ter to the airport, French police
kept Porumbeanu in town under
the pretext of checking his papers.
Whether he would now go to New
York himself is not known.
After the judge’s decision, the
19-year-old girl and her brother
were smuggled out of the Palace
of Justice and took a taxi away
from the building.
The judge took his decision un
der a French law which allows a
juvenile judge to act if he feels
that tM? “health, education or
morals” of a person under 21 are
endangered.
In effect, he made the 21-year
old Douglas the guardian of
Gamble while she is in France.
In the United States, she is the
legal ward of her grandmother,
who is equally opposed to her
romance with Porumbeanu.

Mayor Reforms
Scandal-Rocked
Chicago Police
CHICAGO, Iff) — Timothy J.
O’Connor stepped out as Chicago’s
police commissioner Saturday in
the midst of one of the bigges,t
scandals in the history of the
police department.
Mayor Richard J. Daley an
nounced that he had accepted
O’Connor’s request to be relieved
of his post as top commander of
the force of more than 10,000
policemen.
But the mayor said that O’Con
nor will “continue to serve the
people of Chicago” in some other
capacity.
The mayor also told newsmen
that he has appointed a committee
headed by Dean O. W. Wilson of
the Criminology Division of the
University of California to select
O’Connor’s successor.
Earlier, Governor William G.
Stratton demanded Saturday that
Mayor Daley “forget politics and
clean up the Chicago Police
Department.”
Stratton, the state’s Republican
leader, accused Daley, head of the
Democratic Party’s Cook County
and Chicago organization, of flip
pancy in a reference Friday to
the lV£-million-dollar theft scan
dal of 1956 in which State Auditor
Orville Hodge was sent to prison.
“I anj outraged and I am as
tounded,” Stratton told a news
conference. “I felt I could not
leave the city without taking
notice of the mayor’s statement
last night.”
Daley was reported to have re
plied, when asked for comment
on suggestions Stratton made
Friday about revamping the Chi
cago police administration, “I
suggest you ask the Governor
about the Hodge scandal.”
