Hawaiian Volcano Eruption
Spectacular But Harmless
HILO, TJI. (U.R) The vol
cano Mount Kilauea, dormant
for nearly 18 years, erupted vio
lently but harmlessly Saturday,
sending puffs of brilliant sul-phur-hued
steam clouds tower
ing over the island of Hawaii in
a spectacle rivaling an atomic
blast. -
Eye witnesses reported the
eruption was preceded shortly
before midnight by slight earth
quake. Then red-hot lava began
flowing from the "Halemaumau
fire pit," a smaller crater within
the 15-mile round main Kilau
ea crater, at 1:15 , a.m. HST
(4:15 a.m. PDT).
Looks Like Atom Cloud
Several hours after the first
eruption Capt. H. Lanier Turner,
Oakland, Calif., pilot of a Honolulu-bound
Pan American Air
ways plane, circled the rejuve
nated volcano. He said the scene
"looked liked an atom . cloud
when eruptions would send
puffs of smoke into the air."
Turner said there was plenty
of boiling lava to be seen inside
the crater, but there was no in
dication it would overflow.
During the pre-dawn hours
flames from the eruption leaped

Acheson To Deliver
Warning To Russia
In Berlin Outpost
Strict Security
Measures Ordered
Berlin U.R) Secretary of
State Dean Acheson flew to
tense and isolated Berlin late
Saturday to deliver a blunt
warning to the Soviets that the
West never will be intimidated
or driven from this outpost, 110
miles behind the Iron Curtain.
A reception in Acheson's hon
or was boycotted by Gen. Vassily
I Chuikov, Soviet commander in
Germany, under whom the Rus
sians are carrying out a program
of "hate America" propaganda
and tightening restrictions on
the western sectors of Berlin.
Chukov sent, instead, two of
his aides, who munched hors
d'ouvres and swapped jokes
with the U. S. secretary for 15
minutes. They were the last to
arrive and among the first to
leave.
Did Not Talk Politics
Acheson's aides said the Sovi-
et representatives "did not talk
politics."
That was left to the three
western Berlin commandants.
Shortly before the reception,
they sent. the Soviets a sharp
protest against increasingly
tight restrictions on the move
ment of German residents of the
west sectors of the divided city.
Strict security measures were
ordered throughout the west
sectors of the city during Ache
son's 24-hour visit. As a pre
caution against possible Com
munist attempts to demonstrate,
10,000 West German police were
mobilized. Templehof airdrome,
in the American sector, was
closed to the public for Ache
son's arrival.
Acheson was scheduled to de
liver his warning to the Soviets
in a speech at 11:30 a.m. (9:30
a.m. PDT) Sunday at a public
rally.
Taft States Unity
Of Party Not Hurt
Washihgton-U.R) Sen. Rob
ert A. Taft, preparing to fly to
Chicago in the climatic phase of
his bid for the Republican presi
dential nomination, said Satur
day that party unity has not
been seriously hurt by the turbu
lent campaign.
The Ohioan radiated confi
dence and told a press confer
ence that only the argument
"Taft can't win" stands between
him and certain nomination
when the convention opens
July 7.
He conceded the argument is
somewhat damaging, but claim
ed nearly enough first ballot
votes for nomination. He said his
purpose between now and con
vention opening is to hold the
delegates already committed to
him and find replacements for
any wooed away.
On the subject of unity in his
party, Taft said the republicans
have never had much trouble
agreeing on a program.

hower, his principal opponent,
has "had to take about the
same position (as Taft) and that
doesn't strike me as any ca
lamity." area for miles around.
Hilo police, 30 miles south
west of the volcano, said there
were no populated areas endang
ered by the eruption, and the
road leading to the firepit was
re-opened about four hours after
the initial -blowoff, although
park rangers said there still was
some danger.
Fumes Choke Spectators
Spectators . at the scene were
choked , by the clouds of sul
phurous fumes which poured
from the crater from time to

United Press correspondent
Yoshio Matsuoka said one huge
fissure split the fire pit along a
100-foot wide crack along the
entire diameter of the crater,
and hundreds of smaller cracks
were opened.
Hawaii National Park Ranger
Elry Bohlin said the eruption
"gives every indication it will
last for quite awhile," but there
appeared to be little probability
the lava flow could overrun Kil
aueau's rim.
All the air lines serving the
islands took advantage of the un
scheduled spectacle by diverting
their flights over the crater to
allow passengers to view the
fiery show.

President Trunian
Approves Measure
Boosting Marines
Washington U.R) : Presi
dent Truman who once called
the Marine corps the Navy's
police force, signed into law
Saturday a bill strengthening
the corps and making, its com
mandant a part-time member of
the joint chiefs of staff. -
Under the statute the Leath
ernecks must be maintained
hereafter at not less than three
combat divisions and three air
wings. The ceiling on its
strength is set at 400,000 officers
and men.
The Marine corps command
ant will have "co-equal" status
with the Army, Navy, and . Air
force members of the joint chiefs
of staff when marine matters
are involved.
Although some marine boost
ers had feared Mr. Truman
would veto the measure, his
action was expected to further
mollify the corps which he has
criticized in the past. -
At one time, Mr. Truman com
plained that the marines had; a

the president subsequentry pub
licly apologized to the marines
in a personal appearance before

corps on the home front against
both its enemies and friends. Its

to dismember the corps or trim
its functions to police and guard
duty.

NLRB Sustains Finding
In Central Point Case
Washington (U.R) - The
National Labor Relations Board
said Saturday it . has sustained
findings of A. Bruce Hunt, trial
examiner, that - the - Howard
Cooper corporation's Central
Point, Ore., operations engaged
in unfair labor practices.
The unfair tactics allegedly
were in 1951 against the AFL
International Association of
Machinests, local No. .1468.
Hunt said the company failed
to bargain collectively with the
union and had interfered with
activities of its members. The
company appealed to the NLRB,

Senate Passes Bill
Providing Benefits
mKottan Vets
V-7
Washington . . (U.R) The
Senate Saturday passed by voice
vote a billion-dollar-a-year G.I.
Bill of Rights for veterans of
the Korean War.
The measure calls for educa
tional allowances, home and in
surance loan guarantees, muster
ing out pay and other readjust
ment benefits such as those in
the G.I. Bill of World War II.
A Senate -House conference
committee will have to reconcile
the Senate bill with a similar
measure previously approved by
the House.
The Senate adopted a provision
by Sen. Homer Ferguson (R.
Mich.), stipulating that an unem
ployed veteran can receive the
same unemployment compensa
tion he would have received if he
had been employed in private
industry, rather than the armed
forces.
The House bill makes no pro
vision for unemployment com
pensation. This was designed to
prevent a repetition of the "52
20" clubs of World War II in
which some veterans preferred
to receive maximum unemploy
ment benefits of $20 a week for
52 weeks before looking for a
job -
Sen. Lister Hill (D.-Ala.),
whose labor subcommittee draft
ed the bill, told the Senate funds
are available to start the pro
gram. ,
, Veterans who have served in
the armed services since June
27, 1950, are entitled to benefits
under the bill regardless of
where they spent their military
careers. ' '

Death Fails To Fulfill
Tennessee Man's Prophecy
Middlesboro, Ky. (U.R)
James P. Longworth, 69, lay
on his bed in what seemed to be

insisted that death actually

Angered Latlimore
Attacks Charges
Despite Apologies
. Washington (U.R) An embar
rassed state department publicly
apologized Saturday for banning
Owen-Lattimore from traveling
abroad.
The Far Eastern expert re
plied immediately with a bitter
attack on "the McCarrans and
McCarthys" in congress, the
central intelligence agency, the
state department, and "government-by-informer."
Refusing to be mollified by
the department's action in lifting
its ban, the John Hopkins uni
versity professor made a free
swinging attack on Sens. Joseph
R. McCarthy (R., Wis.) and Pat
McCarran (D.-Nev.), and govern
ment agencies.
Based on False Report
The ban, issued June 6, was
based on a false report that Lat
timore intended to travel to
Moscow and behind the iron
curtain. The edict was issued on
the basis of a tip supplied by the
Central Intelligence agency.
The FBI investigated and
found it was false. Harry A.
Jarvinen, a travel agency execu
tive in Seattle, was indicted by a
Seattle federal grand jury yes
terday for allegedly giving false
Linformation to thw government
about Lattimore's "travel plans.
After the state department ex
pressed today its "regrets" for
the "embarrassment" it caused
Lattimore, the professor issued
a blistering statement condemn
ing the weird episode.
He said the CIA should be
taught that it represents a dem
ocratic government and is not a
"secret police in a totalitarian
state."

Eisenhower said that except

Mrs. Tkach said her father
tried once to rise from his bed,
but fell to the floor, and was
unable to walk without assis

At one point Longworth
awoke from his apparent coma,
shouted "praise the Lord," and
smiled happily as he said, "I'm
not going to fight it any more.
I'm leaving you. Be good sheep
of the Lord." '
The house was made stifling
hot by the huge crowd which
was on hand this morning to
see if Longworth's prophecy of
death, based on a dream he had
three years ago, would come
true.
Most of them stayed on until
noon, and many who left then
did so convinced that Long

BUDGET
POT.
ACTION
hard-hit foreign aid and atomic
energy sections.
The new economy wave was
certain to bring more complaints
from the administration which
already has charged Congress
with dangerously slashing its se
curity programs.
The House lopped another
$243,993,000 off the foreign aid
bill for the year beginning Tues
day, nearly doubling the slash
recommended by the appropria
tions committee.
That reduced the appropria
tion to $6,031,947,750 or nearly
$2,000,000,000 less than Presi
dent Truman requested and more
than $460,000,000 below the fig
ure Congress itself passed.
The House also:
1. Atomic energy voted $1,
485,000.000 for the Atomic En
ergy commission, sharply below
the president's $3,191,000,000 re
quest. The chamber also provid
ed $85,000,000 of the $150,000,-
000 requested for atomic energy
expansion by the Tennessee val
ley authority.
2. Military construction
voted $2,187,899,840 as compar
ed with the $2,993,868,440 re
quested in the budget.
The House measure now goes
to the Senate where the adminis
tration will make another effort
to restore some of the cuts.
The appropriations committee
slashed $13,750,796,030 or about
25 per cent from the administra
tion's original budget request
arid then the House itself axed
off another $308,993,000. And
most of the savings were at the
expense of foreign aid.
House, Senate Okay
Weak Control Bill
On Wages, Prices
Washington (U.R) The
House and Senate Saturday ap
proved and sent to the White
"House a weak'"lff-mbhths "wage -price
controls extension bill
which President Truman will
not like but is expected to sign.
The defense production (con
trols) act was scheduled to die
at midnight Monday. Mr. Tru
man was expected to sign the
new extension Monday, possibly
with another blast at those who
opposed his request for a
straight two-year extension.
The Senate first approved the
bill by voice vote. The bill, a
product of 16 hours of negotia
tion by Senate-House conferees
who reconciled differences be
tween Senate and House bills,
was then sent to the House.
The House gave its approval
in a 194-142 roll call vote. Be
fore Senate passage, Sen. Homer
E. Capehart (R-Ind.) led a fight
against it. He said it was "nei
ther fish nor fowl."
The Measure lifts rent restric
tions on September 30 in all but
"critical defense housing areas"
unless local governing bodies
take positive action to continue
them until April 30 the new
expiration date for price-war
controls.
Although controls will be
weaker under the new legisla
tion, the administration did man
age to salvage some sort of a
victory by the measure. The
House had riddled it with so
many amendments that it virtu
ally meant the end of price and
wage controls next month.
Rainfall Continues;
Slide Closes Road
Precipitation for the month of
June keeps climbing over the
average with a forecasted con
tinued upward trend today.
Up to last night the June total
was 1.72. inches, while the mon
thly average is only .72 an
inch less. Rain falling since last
Sunday, June 22, has amounted
to .66 inches, the weather bur
eau said. ' .
The rainfall was believed re
sponsible for a slide which car
ried away a section of the road
between Fourmile lake and Fish
lake Friday afternoon. J. A.
Hoffbuhr, manager of the Med
ford Irrigation district, reported
that the slide also took a wall
of one of the district's canals.
The road will be closed for
about 10 days, Hoffbuhr said
Five cars were temporarily trap
ped by the slide. Closure of the
canal will not affect irrigation
in the valley as water from other
sources is now being used.
