TEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Monday, March 21, 195S International Box Score' Suggested To Measure Steps Toward Disarmament Monroney Hopes Stassen Will Try Measuring Device Washington (U.R) Sen. A. S. (Mike) Monroney suggest ed today an "international box score" to measure publicly the actual steps taken by any na tion toward disarmament. The Oklahoma Democrat said he hoped Harold E. Stassen, President Eisenhower's newly appointed special assistant on disarmament proposals, would try to work toward setting up such an international measuring rod lor disarmament progress. Monroney said the "box score" would serve as a "ther mometer" to measure the "bel Igerency temperature" of na tions. He said it could show the proportion of a country's pro ductive efforts toward peace time consumer goods compared to the percentage of production going into military goods. Show Up Hot Air Monroney said such a chart would show clearly which na tions were actually doing some thing about disarmament and which ones were just talking. Stassen was believed sure to give consideration to Monron ey's suggestion since he made an appeal for suggestions. He asked all Americans for "ideas, suggestions and com ments" that might help him in his new post and admitted that his chief task at least at the start will be "a search for ideas" In trying to develop a "basic policy" on disarmament. Stassen denied that creation of the new cabinet-level post was a "move away from the Un ited Nations" and its disarma ment attempts. But he said It was clear that no decisions were being reached at the current London Confer ence of the UN Disarmament commission. The United States is taking part in the conferences together with Russia, France, Britain and Canada. A Balance Against War Making Stassen's job of cab inet level also should satisfy, at least partially, various groups that for years have urged cre ation of a Secretary of Peace to balance the old Secretary of War position, whose duties now are consolidated in that of Sec retary of Defense. The United States has been seeking workable disarmament since the end of World War II. It offered at that time to give up its atomic monopoly to a world agency with international inspection. This later became the United Nations plan, but the So viet Union rejected it. Armed 'Freeze' Proposed Last month the Soviet Union proposed a "freeze" on armed forces at Jan. 1, 1955, levels and an end to nuclear weapons. The United States and Britain objected to this plan which would have prevented the re arming of Western Germany, deprived the United States of its atomic strength, and left Rus sia with its overwhelming land power. First Day of Spring Finds Wintry Blasts, Cold Wave and Winds By UNITED PRESS Spring hit the nation today with a wintry blast of blizzards, cold waves, and savage winds. The calendar said it was the first day of spring, but a vast storm system made it seem Amphibious Troops Establish Beach Head San Simeon, Calif. U.R) The first assault waves of "Exercise Surf Board" hit San Simeon beach today at 7 a.m. in the ma jor phase of a joint Army-Navy amphibious maneuver. A "communique" from the front lines reported the first units of the 5000-man landing force established strong beach heads despite token resistance from "aggressor" forces dug in at the base of the Santa Lucia mountains. Some 50 naval vessels, rang ing from aircraft carriers to am phibious landing craft and sub marines anchored close inshore just before dawn to disgorge the troops. The training exercise primar ily was to test the mobility of the 38th RCT of the Second divi sion, stationed at Ft. Lewis, Wash., and cooperation of mili tary forces. Iron Curtain Hotel Rooms Said Below American Standard Vienna (U.R) If you're lucky enough to find a hotel room behind the Iron Curtain, chances are you'll have to share it with four other people, sleep between dirty sheets and cope with rain and wind because of broken windows. That seems to be the consensus of satellite newspaper reports. A Polish salesman, writing in the weekly Swait, said the beds in a Wroclaw hotel room "were unmade, the dirty floor was lit tered with cigarette butts, the wash basin was blocked with debris and the window panes were broken." Most hotels in Bromberg, Po land, have been turned into of fices, so travelers often must spend nights in the railway sta tion. But rail officials usually chase them away before day break, one Communist paper said. In Hungary, hotels and restau rants won't take responsibility for guests' baggage. A Hungarian traveler reported he had to drag his suitcase all over town be cause there was no place he could safely leave it. One Tumbles Down Towels are practically un known in Hungarian provincial hotels, and guests usually dry themselves with bed sheets, it was reported. Conditions in so-called first- class hotels apparently are no better. The Polish newspaper, Trybunu Ludu, reported that windows in Lemberg's Hotel Eu ropa couldn't be shut, that stoves belched smoke but little heat and that doors could be shut but not opened. Of the hotel's eight bathrooms, only two were Working. Water taps were place so far above wash basins that a miniature Niagara occurred when the water was turned on, Trybunu Ludu added. In Prague. Czechoslovakia. 11 large hotels are still beine used as offices. Pilsen, a city of 120,- 000, has only a smgle hotel in operation, while Ielau has onlv two of its original six hotels available. But the Communists sav thev have big plans for the hotel in dustry. The Hotel Durzba in Prague is to become "the big gest building of the republic . . . 466 beds . . . winter Harden on the 13th floor. SDlendid view from terrace on the 14th," ac cording to the weekly newspa per, Aufbau end Frieden. At least one new satellite hotpl already has gone up and come ciown. a Prague newspaper re ported that the walls of newly built Green Tree cracked during a cold spell and the whole build ing collapsed a few hours later.

Heavy snows contributed to at least six deaths in the midwest and 12 persons were killed when an American Airlines Convair, flying through a heavy mist, crashed in a rain-sodden field near Springfield. Mo. Nebraska Lashed A statewide blizzard lashed Nebraska early today and an other blizzard was reported in Colorado. Drifts 15 inches deep forced schools to close in Iowa and heavy, wind-driven snows also whipped South Dakota, Wyoming, and New Mexico. In the Southwest, tornadoes ripped parts of Arkansas and Missouri late late yesterday. A mighty windstorm collapsed a circus tent over 400 persons at Uvalde, Tex. Bitter cold followed the storms, sending the temperature diving to 11 below zero at Rhw lins, Wyo., and to four above at Chadron, Neb. A sub-freezing 27 above was predicted for Cal ifornia's citrus belt. Snow storms and icy high ways were blamed for two traf fic deaths in Iowa and three in snowbound Nebraska yesterday. A Minnesota collision during a blinding snow storm Saturday accounted for another death. In Missouri, flood waters fol lowed tornadoes and torrential rains. At Piedmont a 4.5 inch rain flooded McKenzie creek, forcing evacuation of 20 families and Howell creek flood waters spilled into West Plains, busi ness district. In strange contrast, officials at Washington, D. C, were wor ried because the weather was too good. They said one really warm day would make the city's famed cherry blossoms bloom too soon for the annual Cherry Blossom Festival starting MVch 29. The weather bureau insisted that spring arrived at 1:36 a.m. (PST), the moment of the vernal equinox when the center of the ! sun is directly over the equator. Today was also theoretically a time of equal day and equal night 12 hours of each. But the bending of light rays md modern methods of measuring sunrise and sunset combined to produce 12 hours and 11 min utes of daytime and 11 hours and 49 minutes of night. Abducted Texas Infant Found Safe; Charge Faced Beaumont, Tex. (U.R) A practical nurse and mother of three boys who abducted a girl from her hospital crib minutes after her birth will be charged with kidnaping today if her hys teria subsides. The baby, Carolyn Sue Whar ton, was found well and un harmed yesterday by police who cautiously traced the kidnaper, Mrs. Pauline Marie Schulze, 29, to Houston. Doctor Denies Claim The accused woman has in sisted wildly since she was found with the infant early yesterday at Houston that she gave birth to the baby, even though a doc tor who examined her said that wasn't possible. Carolyn Sue, a healthy, blue eyed little girl, was placed yes terday in the arms of her pretty, 28-year-old mother, Mrs. Mary Helen Wharton, for the first time. Mother Not Told Until her husband handed her a newspaper after the baby was safe again, Mrs. Wharton had been kept blissfully unaware of the dramatic events surrounding the birth of her third child. "It all seems like a dream," she said today. Meanwhile, hos pital attendants said Carolyn Sue was "doing fine." The infant was not taken from Mrs. Schulze until the baby's footprints, taken at birth in East Texas Baptist hospital at Beau mont, had been rushed from Beaumont to Houston. Mrs. Schulze was brought to Anderson by ambulance. Identified By Nurse She was carried into East Texas Baptist hospital, where she once had been employed while living in Beaumont for about nine years, and was iden tified by Mrs. Helen Mays, a nurse, as the woman who kid naped the Wharton infant. Mrs. Mays was on duty in the nursery Saturday, 30 minutes Capehari To Urge Galbraith Recall In Market Probe Washington (U.R) Sen. Homer E. Capehart said he will urge "with all his might" today that a witness who criticized the stock market boom before a Senate committee be called to testify again this time on his political philosophy. The Indiana Republican charged that the witness, John K. Galbraith, professor if ec onomics at Harvard university, had written favorably of Com munism. He also said "I believe Galbraith has certain philosoph ies toward the free enterprise system which disqualify him to be a witness on the stock mark et." Galbraith, who had testified as a witness in the Senate Bank ing committee's "friendly" in vestigation of the stock market, accused Capehart of quoting him out of context when he read from a 1949 pamphlet of the National Planning association. The pamphlet, Galbraith added, had the "general" support of Dr. Milton Eisenhower, brother of the President, and of Allen W. Dulles, brother of the secretary of state and head of the Central Intelligence agency. Capehart said either the com mittee and its chairman Sen. J. William Fulbright (D-Ark.), were ignorant of Galbraith's philosophies or they knowing ly scheduled his testimony to "discredit ... the American economy." Up To Committee Fulbright told reporters in ad vance of today's committee ses sion that it would be up to the committee to decide whether to recall Galbraith. Asked for com ment, he said: "I don't know how to com ment. I don't wish to bicker with Mr. Capehart in public. It's very embarrassing to be conducting a hearing with that type of man on the committee. I don't wish to engage in arguments over who's ignorant. It's not dignified." Dead line for Sunday Classified is at noon Saturday. after Carolyn Sue was born, when a woman wearing a nurse's uniform and carrying a surgical mask, approached and said she would relieve her for a few min utes because Mrs. Mays was wanted in the hospital office. Mrs. Mays, when she realized she had been tricked, rushed back to the nursery. The kid naper, apparently snatching the first baby she saw, had grabbed the Wharton infant from the crib nearest the door and fled. MORE PROFITS!
