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.

like one of winter's worst out
breaks. 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.
