Government officials flown from

at 8 a. m .and the State Depart

in a statement issued bv Press
Officer Lincoln White, the depart

Alfhem. had put into Key West
"in accordance with instructions
issued to the captain by the ship's

The freighter had been sched-
Cuba but proceeded to Key West
instead and anchored during the
night about two miles offshore.
She was escorted into the harbor
by Coast Guard craft and the I'. S.
destroyer escort Loeser stood by
while Washington authorities went
aboard.
A Key West dispatch identified
the Alfhem's skipper as Capt. Jo
han Henry Lind.
Smathers, in a speech in the
Senate, said the "pattern of inter
vention" in Guatemala is the same
as Soviet agents used in bringing
West European nations under Mos
cow's domination.
Meanwhile it was "learned that a
search of the French freighter Wy

Panama Canal, has turned up sev

of them bound for Guatemala.
The remaining four cases were
reported destined for private sport-

The committee noted that AFL

Ensley told investigating state

job at the State Hospital when the
car "suddenly veered off the
road" digging out several lineal
yards of bank.
Neighbors and passersby told

road heading toward Salem. The
car spun to a stop in the middle
of Liberty Road. People who first
got to the scene found Ensley

GREAT HIT
Six Nations
Reject Reds9
Plan on Korea
GENEVA OP Six nations whose
soldiers fought under the United
Nations flag in Korea rejected one
by one Friday the Communist plan
to unify Korea with what the West
Calls "rigged" elections.
Led by the U.S. undersecretary
of state. Walter Bedell Smith, the
delegates demanded that the Unit
ed Nations supervise any elections
in divided Korea, as proposed by
South Korea. Colombia. Turkey,
Thailand, Australia and Greece fol
lowed Smith in rejecting the Com
munist formula.
Smith referred to a denunciation
of the United Nations by soviet
Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov
two weeks ago and to similar dec
larations by Red China's Foreign
Minister Chou En - Lai and North
Korea's Foreign Minister Nam II.
Smith observed:
"What the Soviet Union, through
its delegate, is telling7 the world
from Geneva is that it rejects the
principle of collective security,
that it intends to do as it pleases
without regard to truth or justice
or peace."
Non - Communist Asian countries
have expressed belief in the United
Nations as the cornerstone of their
security against aggression. Molo
tov, Chou and Nam II have re
peatedly denounced the United
States as seeking to use the United
Nations to impose "Western im
perialism on the Eastt.
It is a strange phenomenon,"
Smith said, "that we who came
here to unite a divided and war-
torn nation find ourselves defend
ing the international system of se
curity to which every one of the
governments of the world, if it
were truly representative of the
wishes of its people, would be
eager to contribute all possible
and material support.
Smith said the U. N. charter is
still regarded "by the vast major
ity of us as the world's best hope
for peace."
The Chinese spokesman Huang
Hua, discussing Smith's address
after the meeting, said "the dis
cussion bogged down today in stag
nation and unproductivity."
A committee of experts sought
Friday to unravel the forbidding
tangle of proposals submitted in
an effort to obtain a cease fire in
Indochina. It was reported reliably
that the Soviet Union's expert, An
drei Gromyko, added complica
tions Friday by throwing into the
discussion a new list of proposals.
Ship Disaster
Toll Now 99
QUONSET POINT. R. I. OP
Twin scourges of ravaging burns
and shock pushed the death list
higher Friday as Navy doctors
worked to save the lives of fellow
men of the sea trapped in Wednes
day's explosion on the aircraft car
rier Bennington.
The number of dead stood at 99
after eight crewmen of the' big car
rier succumbed since the disaster
at Newport Naval Hospital across
the bay from the naval air base.

Regulations
Tightened
In Guatemala
GUATEMALA OP Guatemala
issued two emergency regulations
Friday as a result of the crisis
with the United States.
They require that:
All private planes in effect be
grounded under an order banning
cross-country flights:
Any messages written in code or
in a language other than Spanish
must be accompanied by a Spanish
translation filed at the cable office.
This meant all press messages in
English must have a Spanish trans
lation attached for study by a gov
ernment agent.
Meanwhile, a secret radio urging
Guatemalans to fight communism
and attacking the government, con-
i tinued its broadcasts despite re
ports that officials had smashed it.
Outside of this development the
capital settled down to normal aft
er a jittery 24 hour period in which
a plane rained anti-Red leaflets
over the city. Airline service was
resumed.
There were reports that Castillo
Armas, an exiled Guatemalan
whose name appeared on the leaf--!
lets, would speak over the secret
radio. But he made no appearance
before the microphone and many
listeners who waited for his broad
cast were disappointed.
Stores which closed Thursday
opened up Friday and foreigners
who had been keeping their chil
dren home from school sent them
off to their teachers.
The top story in newspapers here
was one from Washington saying
the United States was thinking of
recalling its air and military mis
sions to Guatemala.
50-Year-Old Charged

Vincent J. Liuzzi, 50, of 479
State St., was arrested by city de
tectives Friday on a charge of
contributing to the delinquency of
a minor. He was lodged in jail
Friday night in lieu of $5,000 baiL
Detectives said Liuzzi signed a

Town Has Whale of Headache
Without an Aspirin in Sight
WESTPORT, Wash. OP A sec
ond whale very dead, very ripe,
very rank has been cast up by
the sea near here, doubling the
whale - size headache created by
their disposal problem.
The latest arrival washed ashore
Thursday night a half mile below
Grays Harbor south jetty. It was
badly decayed, and had a length
ot 2-inch hawser still attached to
its tail. This led to speculation it
might have broken loose after be
ing harpooned by commercial
whalers.
The second whale, a 40-tooier,
floated in just one week after the
first a 48 - foot sperm that
grounded about 12 to 15 miles Jo
the south. They are the first whales
of any size washed up on the beach
in the Grays Harbor area for IS
years.
About getting rid of them. No
one, it seems, wants to shoulder
the responsibility. And it's SOME
responsibility.
Ever try to dispose of a whale?
If they're burned, the oil will
kill surrounding clam beds. They
can't be buried because high tides
would promptly uncover them.
They're too "ripe" to be towed to
sea because the pull would cause
them to break up.
County commissioners, have
adopted a "who me?" attitude.

The burglar who broke into the
Borkman Lumber and Hardware

Thursday night, apparently wasted
his talents.
Entrance was gained to the store
by raising a ladder to an over
head door and forcing the door
open. Once inside the culprit made
his way to the main floor and
broke out a window to gain en
trance to the office.
He rifled through the cash
drawer in the counter from which
all money had already been re

time Thursday. The entry was dis
