He appears certain to be prime minister before Christmas, A convention oi uie i.merai Democratic party elected Ishiba- shi, Japan's 72-ycar-old minister of international trade and indus try, after ailing Prime Minister Ichiro Hatoyama quit the party presidency. Hatoyama plans to resign the government leadership before the Diet (Parliament) meets Dec. 20. Only a major convulsion in the party which is unlikely could keep Ishibashi from becoming prime minister. The Liberal-Democrats control the lower house of the Diet, which elects the govern ment chief. Ishibashi defeated Nobusu' e Kishi, the party secretary general, 258-251 on the convention's second ballot. Some observers thought the narrow margin might signal even tual strife within the party. Once he gains the prime min istry, Ishibashi is expected to seek a rapid expansion of Japan's trade with Communist China. Re cently he announced his Ministry of International Trade was seek ing special permits to sell the Reds items barred by the Western embargo on strategic materials Critics claim Ishibashi is an "in flationist" and may upset the con servative, deflationary policies fol lowed by the Hatoyama Cabinet. He favors heavy government in vestment and public works re gardless of whether the budget is balanced. Ishibashi was the son of a Bud dhist priest. He studied Western philosophy at Waseda University, became a newspaperman, and for years before the end of World War II headed the company which publishes the Oriental Economist, a leading Japanese publication in the field. His brief political career has been stormy. He entered politics as finance minister in the first postwar Cabinet in 1946. The Allied command purged mm from office in 1947 on charges of "ultranationalistic activities" in connection with wartime writings in the Oriental Economist. H 1 s backers contend he was ousted be cause he disagreed with Allied economic uolicies. Returning later to-politics, he was elected to the Diet and openly disagreed with his own Liberal party, headed by then-Prime Min ister Shigeru Yoshida. The party kicked him out twice. The second time he switched to Hatoyama s Democratic party. When the Liberals and Demo crats merged and Hatoyama be came prime minister in 1954, Ish ibashi entered the Cabinet again. Although only a year younger than Hatoyama, Ishibashi appears much more youthful and robust. The present Prime Minister has been in poor health for years.

The occasion was an invitational world premiere of Ingrid Bergman in "Anastasia." The picture, made by 20th Century-Fox, was the first the Swedish actress had made for a major Hollywood studio since her international romance with Italian film director Roberto Rossellini in 1949. The movie brought out everyone in town from Frank Sinatra to Jayne Mansfield.

They did like wise when her face first appeared on the screen. The movie made from the stage hit of the same name, was filmed in Europe at an estimated cost of 34 million dollars. It costarred Yul Brynner and Helen Hayes. Miss Bergman played the title role, based on the legend that one of the children of Russia's last Czar survived the Bolshevik exe cutions of 1918. Performancewise, Miss Berg man was as good as ever. Whether "Anastasia" was the proper showcase for her return to American screens, however, is a matter of conjecture. Some critics felt that the role did not give her a chance to exhibit her famed vivacity. Others held that, except for fleeting moments, her classic beauty was not shown properly. During much of the early part of the film she was presented as a suicidal refugee from a mad housegreat for acting potential but short on glamor. SEOUL m Gen. Lee Heung Keun, South Korean army chief of staff, said Friday Communist North Korea is restricting civilian travel apparently to preclude any possibility of a Hungarian style revolt. Some of Artificial 'Moons' to Carry Subsatellites to Space By JOHN KOENIG JR WASHINGTON Itf-Some of the earth satellites which will be fired hundreds of miles into the air during the 1957-1958 Interna tional Geophysical Year will carry "subsatellites," it was announced today. The National Advisory Commit tee for Aeronautics said the sub satellites, weighing only Wh ounces, will be inflated automat ically after being ejected from a rocket booster. This booster will be the third and last of a series designed to 'send the main satel lite to its maximum altitude some 300 miles above the earth. In its announcement, NACA said the subsatellite "will be especial ly valuable in measurement of the density of air in the extreme outer limits of the earth's atmosphere and in determining the satellite's NEW REVOLVINO AGITATOR.

AS WEEK Ex-President Paasikivi of Finland Dies HELSINKI, Finland M Juho Paasikivi. Finlanl's president from 1946 until last February, died ; today. He was 86. Paasikivi had a long political career going back to pre-World War I days when Finland was still a part of Russia. When the Bol sheviks granted Finland Independ ence, he served as the first pre mier. The son of a businessman, he studied hi Finland and Russia and later taught at Helsinki Univers ity. From 1914 to 1934 he was also head of a big commercial bank. In 1944 he became premier again and was named president two years later to succeed the na tional hero, Field Marshal Carl Gustav Mannerheim. Four years later he was re-elected by the elec toral college to an unprecedented second term. Although Russia defeated Fin land in the last war, Paasikivi had considerable Influence with the Russians. Even Stalin apparently respected his abilities. His death was due to a heart condition. He retired from the presidency at the end of his second term last February and was hos pitalized late last month. drag Made of aluminum-coated plas tic, the subsatellites will be in flated to a diameter of 20 inches, the same as the satellite itself. The NACA credited William J. O'Sullivan Jr., aeronautical re search scientist at the NACA's Langley (Va) Aeronautical Labor atory, with originating what it called the novel manner o( sub- satellite construction. Larger subsatellites, which would be visible to the human eye while aloft, may be built for later uses, the announcement said. O'Sullivan said Information to be obtained by visual and radar ob servations of the subsatellite from the ground will have a bearing on the design of future satellite vehicles; long range, rocket-boosted gliders; and intercontinental I ballistic missiles. fcfc rlLLAMEHE VALLEY'S LEADING APPLIANCE & HOME FURNISHERS j SALEM - OREGON CITY Tiny Tanya Is Reunited With Mother, Given U.S. Passport LONDON in Tiny Tanya Chwastov who was on her way j to Russia two months ago was reunited with he.- mother Friday and handed an American pass- port. i The brown-eyed girl, born in Philadelphia In July, 1954. to alien parents who met in the United!
