17 Top American. Diplomats
Hold Conference in Far East
Bangkok, Thailand, Feb. 13 UP
Seventeen top American diplo
mats in the Far East met in sec
ret conference in the American
embassy today to decide how to
keep communism from overrun
ning southeast Asia.
In charge of the conference was
American Ambassador at large
Philip Jessup, top Russian expert
in the U.S. department of state.
Jessup has spent the last four
years fighting the Soviets in the
European cold war.
In a month's tour preceding his
arrival, Jessup found the war in
the Orient to be hot, not cold.
Communism already has won
China, is pressing at the border
of South Korea and threatens
Tibet. Strong communist field
forces are fighting determinedly
against the governments of Indo
china, Malaya and Burma.
Drive Powerful
Western observers fear that Ihe
powerful drive behind Oriental
communism, unless halted, can
sweep through the vast riches
of southeast Asia virtually by de
fault while the west is preoccu
nied with the cold war in Europe.
Wftyt Reports from Hong Kong said
lishlng the southern boundary of
continental China as the line be
yond which communism cannot
pass.
Among those meeting here are
the American ambassadors from
Indonesia, the Philippines, India,
Australia, Korea, Ceylon, New
Zealand and Thailand, and consuls-general
of Vietnam (Indo
china), Singapore and Hong
Kong, the charges d'affaires of
Burma and Pakistan, the minis
ter to Tokyo, and the first secre
tary to. the Chinese nationalist
government on Formosa.
One reliable report said a dif
ference of opinion existed among
the American diplomats, borne
felt that the most pressing need
for southeast Asia is a solid anti
communist front such as is pre
sented the Russians by- the At
lantic pact in Europe. Others feel
j hat a stand less strong would
be sufficient.
Started Sunday
Ihe meeting began at 8 a.m.
(9 p.m. Sunday, EST) in the ram
bline wooden United States em
bassy building while American
marines and Thailand police pa
trolled the walled grounds;
All embassy and consular offi
cials who have been living in the
embassy have been moved to
neighboring buildings to make
room for what was described as
the most important meeting of
tar eastern diplomats in Amen
can history.
At the start of the conference
it was announced that all infor
mation on the meeting would, be
?, released by the official United
B States information service office
The diplomats met within sight
of the Russian hammer and sickle
flying from the soviet embassy
only 200 yards away across a
road and canal.

Youth Confesses
Woman's Murder
Buffalo, N. Y., Feb. 13 tP A
19-year-old Indian half-breed con
fessed today slaying wealthy
young society matron Marion B.
Frisbee. But he claimed he killed
her accidentally during an at
tempted robbery.
"As I grabbed for her purse,"
Harley Lamarr was quoted "the
rifle went off."
Mrs. Frisbee's body, her cloth
ing disarranged as though by a
sex attacker, was found Sunday
in an ice-covered ditch. She still
was wearing expensive furs and
jewelry.
Iamarr was arrested at 4
o'L k today in his home. Taken
to jolice headquarters, he readily
admitted the slaying, but denied
raping the attractive wife of the
sales manager of a carbonated
,beverage concern.
Lamar is the son of Mrs.
Amelia Paldiwodzinski, a full
blooded Cherokee Indian, who
was convicted last month of man
slaughter in the knife-slaying of
her husband.
Although hazy about the Sat
urday night killing of Mrs. Fris
bee, Lamarr told police he re
membered forcing his way Into
her car when she stopped in front
of her parent's home. He said he
sat in the rear seat and ordered
her to drive to the city's out
skirts, where he forced her from
the car.
It was then that he said he
reached for her purse and a rifle
he was carrying went off, the
bullet striking the woman in the
head.
Police said they doubted La
marr's claim to a robbery motive
because of the furs and jewelry
Jett on the woman s body.
Lamarr said he took the mur
der weapon with him from his
home on Saturday with the in
tention of selling it. Concealing ;
it under his coat, he rode on two
city street cars before reaching
the vicinity of Mrs. Frisbee's
parents' home.
Detective Chief William T. Fitz
gibbons said Lamarr would be
formally charged with first de
gree murder.
The body of Mrs. Frisbee, wife
of Willard J. Frisbee, was found
Sunday morning. 12 hours after
j , gshe left home to drive four blocks
'-7 VTto her parents' home on the way
, to a party.

48 persons attached to the Rus
sian embassy here.
communist agents from the
Oriental countries are eauallv
thick. They include representa
tives of the Chinese communist
government and the Indo-Chinese
communist regime of Ho Chi
Minh. Significantly. Jessun annnune-
ed he will stop in Afghanistan
on his way home. Mountainous
Afghanistan, which lies between
Russia and India and borders on
Iran, has been mentioned as a
possible soviet springboard for a

fields.
Range Reseeding
Plan Advocated
Washington, Feb. 13 Ui Rep.
Walter K. Granger, D., Utah, to
day asked the house appropria
tions committee to approve a
$500,000 increase for the govern
ment's range reseeding program.
Granger, in a prepared state
ment, said the department of
agriculture has ordered wheat
farmers to cut production by 14,
000,000 acres and "if these are
not reseeded promptly to grass
and restored to range, they will
go to blow sands and tumble
weeds."
He said the reseeding program
"will solve many range problems
which have troubled stockmen
and the forest service. It will
make possible cheaper livestock
production and, in turn, lower
prices of meat, wool and other
arimal products."
"In Utah alone, Granger said,
"several hundred thousand acres
of range land have been reseeded
by the forest service and ranch
ers, adding greatly to the forage
supply of our state, and helping
to stabilize the watersheds."
He also called for increased ap
propriatians for sanitation facil
ities in national forests.
He quoted the public health
service as reporting that lack of
proper sanitation in recreational
areas near Salt Lake City and
Ogden,, Utah, "constitutes a real
public health hazard to a large
population group, and could re
sult in a disastrous epidemic."
The health service said sewage
and refuse "under the present
arrangement" finds it way into
the drinking-water supply of Salt
Lake City.
Woman's Murder
Story Doubted
Los Angeles, Feb, 13 (IPi Mrs.
Margaret Nash slept her. first
untroubled sleep in 25 years last
night. She had confessed the
quarter-century-old slaying of the
policeman she said seduced her.
"It's a great relief to get it off
my mind. Dreaming about it has
kept me awake at night."
Mrs. Nash, 42. came to police
yesterday to tell them that In
1925 in Ranger, Tex., she killed
Jimmy Daniels, a handsome Tex
as policeman "who took advan
tage of me.
"I waited to tell until all my
family was dead," she said. "Now
no harm will come to anyone
but me."
Authorities here said Ranger
police were sending a man to
check her story further.
In Ranger, former police chief
Jim Ingram said he did not be
lieve Mrs. Nash s story. He said
he believed that Daniels was slain
by car thieves.
Truth Doubted
"I don't know what to think
of the woman's story," he said,
"but I don't believe it's true."
Ranger police said the Daniels
case was considered unsolved.
They would not comment on
Mrs. Nash's story.
Mrs. Nash said she met Dan
iels when he questioned her
about the death of a girl in her
pretty tough gang.
It was the first time I ever
had anything to do with a man,"
she said. "I was 17 then."
As a result of Daniels' investi
gation, Mrs. Nash was sent to a
reformatory. She said she brood
ed there over her shame until
she was released.
Later, she met Daniels again. I
"A bunch of us were at a dance j
hall, and we started drivfng j
around," she said. "One of the ,
boys saw Daniels he was a
handsome guy and yelled: j
'there's your boy.' :
"We were going to beat him 1
up. But one of the boys said.
'He's your duck, take him,' and
shoved a gun in my hand.
"I aimed and pulled the trig
ger." Mrs. Nash said she stayed in :
