Administration Opens Campaign for Support Of Foreign Policies Washington (U.R) The Eisenhower administration Sat urday opened a new campaign for bipartisan support of U. S. foreign policy in preparation for the forthcoming Big Four con ference. President Eisenhower and Secretary of State John Foster Dulles planned to work out fin al details of the campaign at a conference at the White House. Later in the day Dulles flew to Columbia, S.C., for a week end visit with Rep. James P. Richards, the South Carolina Democrat who heads the House Foreign Affairs committee. Rich ards lives about 50 miles from Columbia. On Monday, Dulles will de liver a commencement address at the University of South Caro lina. Advance word was that he planned to stress again the need for Republican - Democratic co operation on foreign policy at this stage of world affairs. The new emphasis on coordin ating foreign policy planning with the Democrats may have been spurred by Vice - President Richard M. Nixon's comments in Chicago Thursday on the ap proaching Big Four conference with Russia. Contrary to previous admin istration policy, Nixon said the top level parley may be the world's last chance to "settle dif ferences peacefully and avoid a catastrophic war." Democratic Protest Feared Some high administration of ficials feared Nixon's comment might touch off a Democratic storm of protest that administra tion'policies were uncoordinated. Mr. Eisenhower and Dulles pre-i viously had emphasized that the Big Four meeting should be thought of in less sensational terms as only a start toward future negotiations by diplomats. The President and Dulles also were expected to go over pros pects of getting more Americans out of Red China's jails now that four fliers have been freed. And possibly they will discuss the forthcoming appearance of the President at the 10th anni versary ceremonies of the Un ited Nations on June 20th at San Francisco. The President will de liver a major foreign policy ad dress on that occasion. Residents of Area Hit by Tornadoes Receive New Scare By UNITED PRESS Residents of tornado-torn Kan sta and Oklahoma got a scar late Friday when funnel clouds were sighted in the two states. But they turned out to be nothing more than pe'nding thundershowers, which drenched the central portion of the na tion early Saturday. Funnels Sighted Two tornado-1 i k funnels were sighted 50 to 80 miles west of Hutchinson, Kan., and two were reported to have reached ground level near Lamed, Kan., about 00 miles west of Hutchin son. Another tornado was reported near Gage, Okla., in the extreme northwestern part of the state. Hail fell from one thundershow er in extreme southwestern Ok lahoma. No injuries were report ed, however. Recent Storm Deadly It was just last week that vi cious tornadoes lashed Kansas, Oklahoma and Txas, leaving 117 dead, wiping out towns and caus ing millions of dollars worth of damage. Thundershowers were general early Saturday from northern Texas to the Dakotas and the upper Mississippi valley. The heaviest rainfall was recorded at Mineral Wells, Tex., 1.63 inches. Temperatures ranged from a mild 82 degrees at Thermal, Calif., to 37 at Phillipsburg, Pa., and 36 at Butte, Mont. Attorney for Finns Planning to Carry Fight to President Los Angeles (U.R) An 87-year-old attorney for the Finn twins, now in the 47th day of a hunger strike at Springfield, Mo., will carry his fight to 'have them freed from prison to Wash ington. Attorney Joseph Scott, an elder statesman of the Republi can party in California, disclosed Friday he would seek executive clemency for the brothers al though President Eisenhower said they "set themselves above the law." Get One-Year Terms The brothers, George and Charles, were ordered to serve one-year terms in the medical center for federal prisoners at Springfield for slapping hand cuffs on a U. S. attorney while in a dispute with the government over ownership on a surplus C46A airplane. Mrs. Sarah Ferguson, of Long Beach, Calif., a cousin of the president, made public his letter in answer to her plea that leni ency be shown the Finns. The President wrote that the Finns set themselves above the law and sought to gain their ends by arresting and handcuffing the U. S. attorney. Scott, who conferred with the twins Thursday, said he was more than ever determined to carry through the program to "extricate these unfortunate vet erans from the horrible situa tion in which they are now placed." Direct shipping was establish ed in 1955 between landlocked Paraguay and the United States. Previously goods aboard deep sea vessels were transferred at Buenos Aires or Montevideo to Snead Takes Golf Lead Great Neck, N.Y. (U.R) Slammin' Sammy S n t a d matched the course record with a 33-33 66 Saturday to pick up a startling 20 points and take a three-point lead over British open champion Peter Thomson in defense of his Palm Beach Round-Robin golf championship at Deepdale Golf club. Thirteen points behind the leading Thomson when the semi final round began, Snead at tracted most of the gallery of 10,000 as he chopped up Gene Littler, Ted Kroll and Bob Ros burg to force into the lead. Ig noring intermittent sunshine and showers, Snead boosted his total to 29 points as the best Thomson could do was win four for a sec ond place total of 26. The smaller was hitting every shot in the bag as his 66 match ing the course record held joint ly by Julius Boros, Kroll and Cary Middlecoff took 20 points from 72 s by Littler and Kos burg and a 74 for Kroll. In this 16-man even, members of a four some match medal scores for a plus and minus rating. Youthful Sailor Held in Slaying Of Army Surgeon Green Cove Springs. Fla. U.R) An 18-year-old sailor was held without bond Saturay on a charge of murdering a surgeon from the Army's Walter Reed Hospital in Washington. The victim, Capt. Edward C. Branson, 31, of Washington, chief resident of orthopedic sur gery at the big Walter Reed Army Medical Center, was found bludgeoned to death in a wood near here. Pleads Innocent Robert Emmett of Gilroy, Calif., an airman apprentice at the Jacksonville Naval Air Sta tion pleaded innocent at an ar raignment and was held in the county jail. Clay County Judge T. J. Rivers said Branson apparently was killed two days ago. His body was found about 200 feet off U.S. highway 17 in a wooded area Friday after Emmett sur rendered to Naval authorities. The doctor was beaten on the head and face with a four-foot hickory stick, Rivers said. Emmett charged Branson made "advances" toward him after they met in a liquor store, police said. river boats and railroads. But now river channels have been improved and small freighters go from the Atlantic up the Rio de la Plata, the Parana, and the Paraguay to Asuncion. Pair Fail in Bid to Swim Strait of Juan De Fuca Victoria, B. C. (U.R) Cana dian co-ed Pat Russell and husky United States logger Bert Thomas failed Saturday in their bid to become the first swim mers to conquer the treacherous 18-mile strait of Juan De Fuca between here and Port Angeles, Wash. The 18-year-old University of British Columbia student was pulled exhausted and in tears from the 47-degree water after pacing Thomas for eight miles of the swim that has never been completed. She was returned to Victoria and taken to a hospital where doctors treated her for exhaustion and shock. Became Too Exhausted Thomas, a former U.S. Marine, Automation Said Improving Position of U.S. Workers San Francisco (U.R) John B. Shallenberger, an official of the Stanford Research Institute, says American workers should welcome rather than dread increasing automation in indus try. Debates Issue Shallenberger spoke Friday at the closing session of the .82nd annual forum of the Na tional Conference of Social Work. He debated the issue of automa tion with Stanley H. Ruttenberg, of Washington, the CIO's direc tor of education and research. The research institute official scoffed at the suggestion that the increase of the use of me chanical tools would mean wide spread unemployment. "In the short run, the cumu lative effect of automation and all other technological benefits conceivable in scientific labora tories today could not possibly, within the next 10 years dis employ as many people as will find themselves without jobs by the end of this summer if the Ford workers go on strike," he said. Would Be Fewer Jobs "Furthermore, if there had been no mechanization and no automation in the last 20 years, there would be 90 per cent few er persons employed in the auto motive, steel and electrical in dustries than we now have." Some 5,000 social workers at tended the week-long conven struck ahead doggedly through the choppy strait that was flecked into whitecaps by a 12 mile-an-hour offshore wind. But he became too exhausted and was taken from the water at 3:22 a.m. Radio reports received here said Thomas was only six miles from Port Angeles when he had to give up. Local residents who have watched swimmer after swim mer go down to defeat in at tempts to conquer what is con sidered one of tne world's tough est swims said both of Saturday's contenders covered a greater distance than those who went before them. Must Swim 40 Miles Although the strait that runs between the United States and Canada is only 18 miles across, swimmers would have to travel about 40 miles to get across. Strong currents add the distance. Others who have tried and failed to make it include Flor ence Chadwick of San Diego, Calif., and Winnie Roach Leusz ler, a St. Thomas, Ont., housewife.

(U.R) Stanford's crew pushed to the front at the halfway mark Satur day and stayed there to defeat California by two and one-half lengths for the irst Indian vic tory over the Bears in a dual race since 1917.

Cal's time was 10 seconds slow er. A crowd of about 5,000 lining the shores of twisting Redwood creek watched to two shells bat tle for the lead for the first mile and one-half before the Indians surged ahead by a quarter of a length with a beat of 31 strokes per minute.
