Nehru Assails NATO
At Bandung Conference

leading us to the brink of war."
The Indian leader contended that
by the United Stales, Britain and
the 14-nation organization headed
by the United States, Britain and
France is "one of the most power
fid protectors of colonialism,
though H was created for self de
tente." "It Is an Intolerable humilia
tion," he said, "for any nation of
Asia or Africa to degrade itscll
by becoming a camp follower of
one or the other of the powers
blocs. . . We will not join either
bloc because that means losing
our identity."
Nehru spoke strongly in favor of
coexistence.
"The only way to bring peace
into Hie world is to reduce the
area of tension through coexist:
ence," he said.
The conference ran into its first
, big deadlock Friday in a bitter
argument over charges of "Com
munist colonialism'."
A subcommittee, after arguing
on the Communist issue for more
than two hours, finally adjourned
until Saturday. The issue at stake
was a move by non-Communist
powers to put the conference on
record as condemning "Subvers
ion" as well as old style colon
ialism. Red China Premier Chou En-Lai
earlier had answered a Ceylonese
anti-Communist blast with an ap
peal for harmony at the 29 nation
conference. His tactic, ordinarily
preferred among Asians to a spirit
ed answer, failed to halt the de
veloping deadlock.
The meeting of the nine-member
subcommittee was closed to the
public but delegates said the dead
lock came over the resolution pro
posed by a group of nations head'
ed by Iran, which, wanted con.
demnatlon of colonialism "in any
iorm.
unou reportedly opposed any
mention wnion -might be inter
preted as an attack on commu
nism. His stand was backed by
India.
"It looks very much like we may
have to pass over the resolution
on colonialism," one delegate said.
"That will put us on the spot
because the big issue of this con
ference Is colonialism."
The resolution, proposed by Iran,
Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Sudan, Li
beria, Pakistan, Turkey and The
Philippines, did not mention com
munism by name.

Morse Would
Limit Defense
Authorization
WASHINGTON to Sen. Morse
(D-Ore) said today the Eisenhow
er administration is "trying to
save face" in the Formosa Strait
situation by "eliminating its im
plied commitment" to defend the
Quemoy and Matiu Islands.
Morse said he will seek a vote
in the Foreign Relations Commit
tee next week on his resolutions to
limit to Formosa and the nearby
Pescadores authority given Presi
dent Eisenhower in the defend
Formosa resolution passed over
whelmingly by Congress in Jan
uary. The committee appeared certain
to reject the Morse limitation.
The Formosa resolution, which
Morse opposed, gave Eisenhower
full backing to use U.S. military
force to defend "closely related
positions" deemed essential to the
defense of Formosa. That would
cover the coastal islands.
Sen. Knowland (R-Calif) loosed
a thinly veiled swipe at Secretary
of State Dulles last night in re
iterating his contention that Que
moy and Matsu must be held.
Dulles has said this country
would not defend the coastal is
lands as such but would watch
closely for any Red Chinese at
tempt to use them as stepping
stones to an attack on Formosa.

The committee amended the
cigarette bill, however, to elimi
nate tax stamps, and added a 20
per cent tax on all other forms
of tobacco.
The committee agreed that the
people probably would refer and
kill the cigarette tax, but decided
to make a try. Cigarette taxes
have been defeated four times by
the people.
If the people refer the income
tax bill, then the cigarette tax also
would go on the ballot. The com
mittee approved this action, 4-3,

the people automatically would
result in a state properly tax of
9 mills, or $15,000,000 a year.

will approve the income tax boost.

enough senators insist on a sales
tax.

the charge.
He was tried in the county in
December 1953, convicted and
sent to the state prison for four
years.
Habitual Criminal Charge
Then Dist. Atty. Robert M.
Stults filed an information charg
ing him with being an habitual
criminal.
After three months in the pen
itentiary, Cory was returned td
stand trial on Stults' charge. He
was convicted again. The 4-year
sentence was set aside and Cir
curt Judge William G. East, Eu
(,3ne, meted the 15-year term just
.eversea in saiem.
The habitual charge came about
because of three convictions be
fore the one on the gun posses
sion charge. Specifically, they
were three years in a federal re
formatory for a postoffice burg
lary in Oklahoma, two years in a
federal reformatory for another
postoffice burglary in Texas and
six months to 10 years for attempt
ed burglary In Utah.
Records show other convictions.
Law enforcement men say he has
spent .ibout 18 years of his life
in prison.
The Supreme Court opinion was
written by Justice Earl C. Latour
elte. It upheld the conviction on
the gun-bearing charge, which
Cory still claims came only after
he had acted as agent of Mrs.
Jones in the attempted sale of two
.22-caliber revolvers.
That's why lie claims a "raw
deal." The particular charge was
filed by Stults. Jones had filed, a
complaint charging the same
crime, but different circumstanc
es. But as Cory said Thursday aft
ernoon: "I know I'm not an an
gel." He'll be delivered to the peniten
tiary by a deputy sneriff some
time this week. .
