M China Ignores
United States in
Friendship Offer
Bandung U.R) Communist
fered friendship to every nation in the world today except the
United States and accused it of trying to overthrow the Peiping
regime.
- He had agreed a few hours earlier to meet with seven pro
Western and neutral nations on the Formosan crisis but his bitter
speech foredoomed failure of the meeting.
Chou, premier and foreign minister of the second largest Com
munist nation in the world, pictured Red China as a friend of all
mankind before the Afro-Asian conference which had heard a
series of hard-hitting speeches against Communist aggression.
"China has no intention whatsoever to subvert the governments
of its neighboring countries," he said in a speech that sharply dis
agreed with those of delegates from nations bordering Communist
China.
"On the contrary it is the
trying to subvert China."
U. S. Ambassador
Heart Accusation
U. S. Ambassador Hugh Cum-
ming Jr., was present in the
meeting hall when Chou made it
clear he regards the United
States as Red China's implacable
opponent.
Chou said the Peiping govern
ment is prepared to "establish
normal relations with all Asian
and European nations." He sin
gled out Japan especially which
is linked to the United States by
a mutual defense pact.
Chou, dapper and confident,
also made it clear it was time
Red China had a voice in world
affairs when he said the desire
of the Korean and German peo
ple for unification is being frus
trated his first real venture into
a European problem.
Came To Seek Unity
Chou said Red China came to
the Bandung conference "to seek
unity and not to quarrel."
"We are against outside inter
ference," he said. "Why should
we want to Interfere in the af
fairs of others?"
That question was answered
earlier by Prince Wan Waithay
akon of Thailand who told how
Communist nations had threat
ened his tiny country with infil
tration and subversion "if not of
aggression itself ."
Chou's reference to "outside
interference" recalled all of the
past statements by Peiping Radio
on the Formosa-issue; which Red
China regards as an internal
issue, not subject to debate.
Would Air Formosa Issua
Nonetheless Chou had agreed
earlier to meet with seven other
nations to discuss the Formosa
issue although that meeting at
first scheduled for today ran
into a hitch. .
Gen. Carlos P. Romulo of the
Philippines said he would have
to check with his government
before he could sit down at a
Formosa conference proposed by
Sir John Kotelawala, prime min
ister of Ceylon.

Moscow (U.R) Russia today
proposed a five-power conference
in Vienna in the "nearest future"
to conclude and sign a state
treaty restoring Austrian inde

They were handed the notes
by Soviet Foreign Minister V,

Well informed sources said the
notes reviewed the entire Aus
trian question which came to a
climax last week when Austrian
Chancellor Julius Raab reached
an agreement with Russia on the
terms they would seek in a state
treaty.
The sources said the Soviet
notes to the Western allies em
phasized the importance of guar
anteeing Austria's independence

Vaccine Still Unknown
Portland (U.R) Just . when

Dr. Samuel Osgood of the State
Board of Health said he has
been informed by the National
Foundation for Infantile Paraly

vaccine to Oregon is indefinite.
The first shipments of the Salk
vaccine are going to southern
states because the polio season
begins earlier in those states
than in the rest of the country.
'Hot? Uraunaiuiiiii Areas
Two of the claims presently
located are on solid quartz moun

quartz outcroppings over the
area and he spoke of one having
dimensions of 600 by 300 feet,
the outcropping shows yellow,
red and green, indications of
uranium oxide, thorium and
copper. Bristow said, that the
hand work done on the claims
has shown black, evidence of
pitchblende, mineral containing
uranium.
All of the work so far on the
claims has been by hand, accord

Coalition Party
Leaders Arrested
To Avoid Revolt
New Uprising Said
Plotted by West
Berlin (U.R) The Commu
nist dominated East German gov
ernment announced the arrest
today of 10 government coalition
party leaders in a new purge
aimed af heading off another
workers revolt against their Sov
iet masters.
Hans Luthardt, member of the
leadership of the National Demo
cratic party oi tne Red-run na
tonal front" which dominates
East Germany, said the party
leaders were arrested in the
Leipzig and Chemnitz areas.
He said the Western powers
had "smuggled" agents into the
party to plot a new uprising sim
ilar to tne one which flared on
June 17, 1953. This revolt, was
put down by Red Army tanks. '
Western observers ,said the
new purge apparently was an
effort by the Soviet zone govern
ment to strengthen itself for
worker protests against plans to
raise work quotas again.
Gerhart Ziller, Communist
party economist, said in a speech
released today that these quotas
must be increased to boost out
put.
He said the work norms of
all miners in East Germany were
raised April l. He said 97 per
cent of the miners accepted the
increases as justified. f
Ziller said the camoaien to
raise work norms now must be
extended to other industries
' But growing resistance .'of e
workers in these other industries
was obvious from the new wave
of arrests.

Temperatures in the coldest

Says Nothing New
In Flier Efforts
United Nations, N.Y. (W.R)
Secretary-general Dag Hammar
skjold said , today there were
new moves being made to free
American airmen jailed in Red
China.
The U. N. chief executive told
a news conference the world
organization was "in consistent
pursuit of a-certain-planW win
freedom for the airmen, but ne
said there "definitely is no new
approach. :
Compared To Chess
He apparently referred to a
statement made yesterday in
Washington by Sen. John L.
McClelland (D-Ark.) that a "new
approach" was underway for the
release of the prisoners,
But Hammarskjold compared
negotiations for their release to
a game of chess. He said, "time
and time again there will be
new moves, without making a
new approach."
Asked for comment on pub
lished speculation that some of
the imprisoned fliers might be
freed in the near future, Ham
marskjold said:
"I have no indication to justi
fy any precise judgment of that
type."
No Reason for New Interest
He added that there was
"nothing new in the situation."'
"It is just one of those cases
where interest suddenly flares
up he said. There is not any
reason for interest to flare-up
now . . . for very natural rea
sons, those people feeling con
cern about the fliers feel an
impatience which finds verbal

Case of 'Missing1 Gibbon
An hoys Los Angeles Police
Hollywood (U.R) Annoyed
police asked Hollywood today
to keep its "monkey business"
to itself, especially "missing"
Gibbons.
The pet Gibbon reported
missing and on a rampage in
fashionable Bel Air last night
wasn't missing at all, a police
investigation showed. The ram
page, officers said, apparently
was the fertile imagination of
actor Jay Robinsons .press
agents. -

But police admitted it worked
well enough to throw some of

Documents Given
To N.Y. Paper Said
No Security Breach
Consent by British
Received Day Later
Washington (U.R) Secretary
of State John Foster Dulles said
today that Assistant Secretary
Carl W. McCardle gave the se
cret .Yalta papers to one news
paper 19 hours before they
were generally released.
But Dulles said this "in
volved no breach of securitv "
He defended the planned leak of
the controversial documents as
"an exercise by Mr. McCardle of
a discretion that was his."
Dulles' prepared testimony on
the circumstances surrounding
sudden publication of the docu
ments was made public by
Chairman Walter F. Gorge (D
Ga.) at the outset of a closed
door hearing of the Senate For
eign Relations Committee.
The secretary's testimony
showed that McCardle delivered
the documents to a New York
Times correspondent . Tuesday
night, March 15, and that Bri
tish agreement to permit publi
cation was not received until the
following morning. The docu
ments were made public een-
erally Wednesday night after
White House Press Secretary
James C. Hagerty and several
senators learned that the Times!
had them and insisted that all
of the press be given access to
them.
Authority To Declassify
Dulles said McCardle had au
thority to declassify the docu
ments. He said he left the mat
ter in McCardle's hands after
James R. Reston, Washington
correspondent of the Times, had
"urged that it was of the utmost
importance that the papers be
published as a whole" and that
only the Times would print the
entire text.
The secretary of state's testi
mony confirmed what most cap
ital newsmen had suspected since
the papers were made public.
But it cleared up for the first
time conflicting statements about
when, if at all, the British drop
ped their objections to publish
ing the papers.
Sought Approval
' Dulles said he had first plan
ned .ta make public the papers
last fall but decided to hold them
up because publication just be
fore the congressional elections
would have appeared to be po
litically motivated. '
He told the committee he had
been seeking British approval to
publish the papers since Dec. 2,
1954, but did not get a final
okay from Sir Anthony Eden,
then British foreign secretary,
until the morning of March 16,
after the papers already were in
the Times' hands.
Dulles also defended the in
clusion of ' "chit-chat" and per
sonal conversation in the official
documents a sore point with for
mer British Prime Minister Sir
Winston Churchill. Dulles said
it was hard to know what to
eliminate when the principals in
the 1945 meeting, two of them
now dead, did not indicate at the
time what was to be deleted from
their remarks. ;
County Budget Work
Session Due Thursday
Work on the Jackson county
budget is expected to b'e com
pleted at a meeting set for
Thursday, members of the court
said this morning. The meeting,
which had been set for tomor
row, was set back one day be
cause County Judge Rodney
Keating will be busy with other
business Wednesday.
If the budget work in com
pleted as expected, a date for
hearing probably will be set at
Thursday's meeting. The budget
must be advertised twice before
the public hearing.
The budget as proposed, or
with changes, will be adopted
following the public hearing. ,
Investigation showed the
Gibbon, quite to the contrary,
was on the leash.
"There's no question that this
is a phoney," an irritated West
Los Angeles police sergeant
said. "A kid found the monkey
and brought it back to the own
er, but he told the youngster to
shove off and bring it back
later."
Left With Woman
Police said the Gibbon appar
ently was left with Mrs. Laura
Coughlin by actor Robinson who
assertedly told her to "keep him
until the story breaks ; . ." '
- Officers said one of Mrs.
Coughlin's children found the
animal and returned it. But he
got the "brush off" by Robinson,
police said, so he took the Gib
bon back to his own .house
where officers later found it
tied up and well fed.
