The U. N. Security Council voted
over Soviet opposition last night to
hold off debate on the Trieste issue
and cleared its decks for an ex
haustive probe into the explosive
Palestine situation
The 11-nation council faces its
next Palestine debate tomorrow
when it takes up Syria's plaint that
Israel is endangering Middle East
neace by diverting the waters of
the historic River Jordan.
During two wrangling sessions
yesterday the council pushed
through a U. S. call for a full-dress
inquiry into the alleged border in
cidents between Israel and her
Arab neighbors, including the re
cent Israeli attack on the Jordan
village of Kibya in which Jordan
claims 66 persons were killed and
the village flattened,
Gen. Vagn Bennike, chief of staff
of the truce supervision organiza
tion in Palestine, has been sum
moned to report on the general
Palestine situation. He left Jeru
salem by plane last night and is
expected to arrive here later this
week.-
The tense Middle East issue was
further complicated last night
when Israel fired off' a counter
complaint, demanding the council
take up a charge that the Arab
states violated the 1949 armistice
blockade measures and refused to
negotiate a peace.

In the state of Iowa (at Ames,
seat of Iowa State College, one of
the best known of our agricultural
schools) they had a football game
Saturday. It was with Missouri.
Missouri was SWAMPED.
The swamping touched off the
volatile spirits of some 4000 stu
dents and they staged a celebra
tion the cops had to use tear gas
to subdue. Among other things,
the youngsters threw up road
blocks (made of drain tile, which
is a standard item of commerce
in the rich agricultural state of
Iowa) and compelled all traffic
to detour around the town of
Ames.
Then they demanded a Monday
holiday in order to put a fitting
cap sheaf on the celebration and
refusal to grant it set off some
further manifestations of ebullient
high spirits.
President James Hilton w 11
awav from Ames for the weekend.
Reached on the phone, he com

'Kids are kids. Some of them
did things they knew they'd be
sorry for later."
I expect that's by long odds the
best way to look at it.

Then, scarcely before the gather

reached the girl and she suffered
only singed hair as her mother ran
with her through the burning room

Heart Interests Entered
In John Wayne Divorce
Trial; Charges Are Denied
LOS ANGELES (AV-Nicky Hil
ton, former husband of Elizabeth
Taylor, today was subpoenaed to
explain his week-long stay last
year at the John Wayne home as
the guest of Mrs. Wayne while
the rugged movie star was in
Honolulu.
Wayne charged yesterday dur
ing the couple's stormy divorce
trial that his wife entertained
Hilton during his absence. This
followed an accusation by Mrs.
Wayne that the movie box office
king once had an all-night tryst
with actress Gall Russell.
Hilton, son of hotel magnate Con
rad Hilton, said he would save
comment until "I testify in court."
Atly. Jerome Rosenthal, counsel
for Mrs. Wayne, said actress Betsy
von Furstenberg would testify that
she asked Mrs. Wayne to house
Hilton while he recuperated from
accident Injuries. Hilton and Miss
Von Furstenberg were sweethearts
at the time.
On the stand yesterday. Mrs.
Wayne testified her brawny hus
band hit her with everything from
the back of his band to uphol
stered pillows during six years of
Hollywood married life. But they
always kissed and made up, she
added.
One reconciliation scene, she
said, took place in a Burhank hos
pital. She quoted the husky actor:
"I know I have been a horrible
Jerk with you. n need you very
much. Please give me one more
chance."
Just as she waa abnnt in plvp In
she added, Wayne's press agent
arrived and asked: "Shall I call
the reporters?"
Mrs. Wayne said she snapped:
"What is this, a reconciliation or
a puoiicity stunif '
