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

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

The doctor was beaten on the

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.

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.

Stanford Beats
Bears For 1st
Win Since 1917
Redwood City, Calif. (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.
The so-called "orphans" of
Stanford university, which does
not give the crew program fi
nancial support, were clocked
in 15 minutes and 26 seconds
over a smooth three mile course.
Cal's time was 10 seconds slow

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.
The cadence was raised to
Stanford 34 and California 35 as
the boats clicked toward the fin
ish with the Indians safely in
charge after rounding the last
curve.
