HARD TO OBSCURE
Dulles Says Disarmament System
Would Not Depend on Red China
WASHINGTON, OP—Secretary
of State Dulles said Tuesday a
’worldwide disarmament system
can be worked out even tho Com
munist China is barred from the
basic treaty.
Dulles told a news conference
a disarmament program could be
based on the pre-supposition that
Red China would cooperate, and
that it would be in Russia’s inter
est to try to assure such coopera
tion.
Freedom in Russia?
If Red China did not, he added,
the fact would become known
and other nations could act to
protect themselves.
On another phase of world af
fairs, Dulles said the United
States government believes that
what he called Communist des
potism in Russia will eventually
give way to a rule of much great
er |reedom thru a process of evo
lutionary change.
In a speech at San Francisco
last Friday, Dulles had said that
he considered Communist oppres
sion a “passing phase” in China.
He had related this to the prob
lem of U.S. recognition of Red
China, which he rejected as out
of the question under present
conditions.
Revolution in China?
On the same theme, Dulles said
Tuesday he thought changes in
Russia toward greater internal
freedom would be evolutionary,
whereas in China there are more
elements of a revolutionary na
ture. He said he would not put a
time limit on his prediction
toward either country, one year,
five years, or 10 years.
In response to a question, he
said he certainly thought the de
scendants of Soviet Communist
Party boss Nikita Khruhchev
would live under a system of free
dom. Khrushchev predicted a few
weeks ago President Eisenhow
er’s grandchildren would live
under Communism in the U.S.
Test of Respectability
Dulles divorced the internal
policies of Russia and Red China
from the recognition issue in dis
cussing the matter yesterday. The
test for recognition, he said, is
one of respectability in interna
tional conduct, not of internal
policy.
Measurements of Red Chinese
respectability, Dulles said, in
clude such things as treatment of
Americans (six U.S. citizens are
still imprisoned there), adherence
to international obligations, and
the tendency of the government
to live peacefully in the world.

Traffic Accident Victims j
On Four-Day Holiday , j
May Exceed Record
CHICAGO, 0P>—He’s between j
25 and 44. He’s on his way to |
wherever he is going to spend j
the long weekend. It’s night—to
night, perhaps—and he’s driving ]
too fast. ,
That’s a statistical sketch of
the man most likely to be counted
among the victims of traffic acci
dents during the Independence
Day holiday period.
The National Safety Council, j
which made the study of statis- ,
tics, estimated 45 million motor
vehicles will be rolling—13 ve
hicles for each mile of the na
tion’s street and highway system.
The Council also predicted that
lives in traffic during the holiday
period that begins at 6 p.m. to- !
night and ends at midnight Sun- ,
day.
That number would top the;
record of 481 fatalities set during I
the four-day celebration of Inde-1
pendence Day in 1950.
Senate Confirms
Robert B. Anderson as
Secretary of Treasury
WASHINGTON UP)—The Senate
confirmed by voice vote yesterday
the nomination of Robert B. An
derson to succeed George M.
Humphrey as Secretary of the
Treasury.
Anderson, Texas industrialist
and former Secretary of the Navy,
was confirmed without Senate
discussion of his nomination. He
thus may take over the Cabinet
post any time he takes the oath.
No exact date for Humphrey’s
resignation to take effect has
been announced. He has said he
will step out no later than the
end of this session of Congress.

Girard and His Japanese Bride
Target of Shakedown Attempt
CAMP WHITTINGTON, Japan
(J”—William S. Girard and” his
Japanese fiancee were married
yesterday—and promptly found
themselves the target of a shake
down attempt by a shopkeeper
who had posed as their friend.
Fukujo Shimizu, 34, promoter
of a “Forgive Girard” campaign
and identified by police as a pa
roled extortioner, demanded two
million yeh ($5,500) as “condol
ence money” for the family of the
Japanese woman the 21-year-old
GI is accused of killing Jan. 30.
The demand was lodged with
the bride, Mrs. Haru (Candy)
Girard, 27, less than three hours
after she had filed at the U.S.
embassy in Tokyo the papers
which made her Girard’s wife
under Japanese laws.
Shaken and in Tears
Looking forward to their real
marriage Friday when they ’kneel
at the white chapel in this U.S.
Army base, Candy found Shimizu
waiting for her when she re
turned from Tokyo to her home
village.
Shaken and in tears, she told
newsmen of the encounter:
“He told me ‘the people of So
magahara are angry at you for
marrying Girard. You must pay
two million yen condolence mon
ey to Mr. Akikichi Sakai.”
Sakai is the husband of the
46-year-old scrap metal scaven
ger killed by an empty cartridge
case fired from a grenade launch- |
er on the U.S. firing range near
Somagahara.
The weeping girl said she was
in an embarrassing position be
cause she felt indebted to Shimi
zu “for asking the Japanese to
help my man.” He announced two
weeks ago that he was launching
a drive for 100,000 Japanese sig
natures to a petition asking that
Japanese authorities acquit or
pardon the youth from Ottawa,
Illinois.
U.S. Army authorities at Camp
Whittington offered Candy pro
tection on the base. Girard, who
said earlier he would not consid
er himself married “until the
church wedding,” will remain in
his barracks.
