Stevenson Faces New Republican Challenge On Alger Hiss Case Washington ,UR) Adlai T. Stevenson today faced a new Republican challenge on the Al ger Hiss case. Republican National Chair man Leonard W. Hall called on the Democratic presidential can didate Sunday night to state whether he agrees with former President Truman that Hiss was not a "Communist spy." Vice President Richard M. Nixon and Sen. Karl E. Mundt (R-S.D.) already have called on Stevenson to tell the public where he stands on Mr. Truman's statement. Both Nixon and Mundt played key roles in the investigation that led to Hiss" conviction. Stevenson was certain to face questioning on Hiss later today at a news conference. He returned to the capital to day after spending Saturday night at the home of friends in nearby Virginia. He visisted pub lisher Philip L. Graham of the Washington Post and Times Her ald and George McGhee. cochair man of the Volunteers for Stev enson and Kefauvor Finance committee. Schedules Campaign Swing The Democratic presidential nominee ended a quiet Sunday in the Virginia horse country by scheduling a 6.800-mile swing through the West and South where Democrats hope to pick up important voter strength. Stevenson will open the eight- day tour through 11 states Sat urday with a major farm speech at the Newton, Iowa, national plowing contest. His speech comes just a day after President Eisenhower visits Newton. The President is not scheduled to de liver a formal speech. From Newton, Stevenson will go by plane and car to Colorado, Oklahoma. Arkansas, Louisiana, Florida, Missouri, Kansas, Indi ana. Wisconsin and Minnesota. Stevenson carried only two of the states. Arkansas and Lou isiana, in his 1952 race against Mr. Eisenhower. Hall demanded a statement from Stevenson on Hiss in a telegram that said; Mimics Got.

I will ask you this question once a day because the American peo ple want your answer. Mr. Truman said in a Milwau kee television interview Sept. 3 that he did not believe Hiss was a spy or that Harry Dexter White and Nathan Gregory Sil vermaster were guilty of any thing. Airlines Challenge Russia To Travel Edinburg (U.R) The world' i scheduled airlines today challenged the Soviet Union to prove its peaceful intentions by permitting unchannelled tourist traffic in and out of Russia. Juan T Trippe, president of Pan-American World Airways, made the suggestion in his report as outgoing president of the 74 airlines International Air Trans port Association (IATA). An early application by the Russian airlines Aerflot for ad mission to IATA "would be con vincing evidence on the part of the Soviet leaders that they were really willing to lift, for tourist travel, the Iron Curtain which ha? so long separated the people of the West and the Communist world," he said. Trippe, whose airline has tried unsuccessfully for several months to obtain landing rights in Russia, originally called on Russia's airlines to join those of some 40 others last year. So far Russia has showed no signs of doing so. Low Pay 'Wrecking' Juvenile Program Salem (U.R) Dr. James Ashbaugh, director of Marion county's juvenile department, charged today that low wages are "practically wrecking" the county juvenile program. Ashbaugh said there had been three resignations in the counsel ing department in the past month, all for reasons of pay. The juvenile director said Ma rion county pays the lowest salaries of any of the 21 other Oregon counties which have ju venile counselors. Dr. Ashbaugh said counselors are offered $297 per month in the county with no promise of an increase. , Governor Solicits Realtor Cooperation Salem (U.R) Gov. Elmo Smith enlisted support from Oregon's realtors today and pledged his own cooperation in attempting to solve growing city and county "fringe area" prob lems. The governor told the Oregon Association of Real Estate Boards' convention that Ore gon's growth must be controlled and directed toward the goals of society. He specifically mentioned zon ing programs that will insure orderly development in rural and suburban areas; develop ment of adequate services such as water, sanitation and fire protection for suburban areas: development of private low-cost housing for older citizens; and slum clearance and city housing renewal programs. More Chinese Red Troops Enter Burma Rangoon ;U.R) The newspa per Nation reported Sunday that Chinese Communists have sent another 900 troops into Burma and occupied key territory in a new series of aggressions. The report was not confirmed immediately, but the newspaper was the first to report a Chinese invasion by several hundred troops a month ago. This was later confirmed. Sacramento. Calif.

Around Hollywood Hollywood (U.R) Thanks to television or the new gener ationnf stav - at - homes night life is getting dimmer in Hollywood. A nation wide trend of fewer old-style big, plushy night clubs has been one change in this country since Aline Mosby the one-eyed monster invaded the living room. And this area is feeling the pinch. The Biltmore bowl in the Bilt- more hotel, an institution visit ed by thousands of out-of-town- ers since 1934, is folding Oct. 10. btars such as Phil Harris. Ted Lewis, Desi Arnaz and Sally nana nave appeared in the orn ate room. Bali Room. Too Recently the expensively dec orated Bali Room of the new Beverly Hilton hotel also put away the white tablecloths for good. The Moulin Rouge threatened to close last month in a battle over rising labor costs, but the fight was settled. That club still brings in crowds by offering din ner plus a long, elaborate Las Vegas-type show for only S5.50. The famous Ciro's nightclub closed several months agd with only part of the building open a small bistro-type nitery. Business became so good again owner Herman Hover reopened the big club. But it has an esti mated 50 fewer seats than be fore. The cover charge was elim-. inated and food prices cut. Hover optimistically says the nightclub business "has the greatest future it's ever had be cause it's the only pure enter tainment left." "Until the man on television can reach out and shake the hand of the guy in the living room, people still will go to clubs for live entertainment," he says. Nightclub critics I checked agree but they think people continue to go to clubs only for top entertainment Noel Cow ard, Judy Garland, Frank Sin atra. In other words, in this area many customers now go to Las Vegas for floor shows and steaks in the wee hours. Some enthusiasts catch a 8 p.m. plane to Las Vegas, take in two shows and an hour at dice and roulette and are home by 3 a.m. 'During the American Legion convention, Los Angeles niteries didn't make a nickel."

Stevenson Attends Episcopal Church Dclaplane, Va (U.R) Ad lai Stevenson caught an Episco palian rector by surprise Sunday when he showed up for a Sun day morning service while the house guest of Philip Graham, president and publisher of the Washington Post and Times Her ald. Stevenson attended services at little 100-year old Emmanuel Episcopal church along with about 30 other persons. When newsmen told the churchs rector,, the Rev. Harold Peters, that Stevenson was about to arrive, the rector exclaimed: "My word." He confided that 'due to an apparent misunderstanding he had been expecting Gov. Thomas B. Stanley of Virginia. Egyptian, Israeli Forces Skirmish Cairo (U.R) An Egyptian military spokesman said today an "armed clash' took place be tween Egyptian and Israeli for ces Sunday at Sabda, an Egyp tian out post in the Sinai desert. The military spokesman did not report casualties in the clash. "An Israeli patrol crossed the truce demarcation line in the Sabda region and clashed with one of our patrols which forced it to withdraw into the Palestine area." the Egyptian spokesman said. Sabda is an Egyptian position on the western side of the El Auja demilitarized zone in the Sinai Desert and is close to the old frontier between Egypt and Palestine. L I Bow Bells of Washington The famous Bow Bells of London's church of St. Mary-le-Bow will soon ring again. The old church, nearly des troyed by Nazi bombs in World War II, is now being rebuilt, the bell tower to be its first restora tion. Most of the 12 bells already have been cast from the melted down fragments. Before the end of the year, it is hoped they will play once more the tune that brought Dick Whittington back to the city to star in one of the world's best known success stories. According to the legend, young Dick Whittington, poor appren tice to a medieval London mer chant, decided to run away. On his way out of town he heard the Bow Bells chiming, "Turn back Whittington, Lord Mayor of London." The boy returned to One Dentist for Each 1,667 Persons in US Chicago (U.R) There is one dentist in the United States for each 1,667 persons, accord ing to the American Dental As sociation. The association's bureau of economic research and statistics estimated the total number of dentists in the country at 97, 529. The total includes 90.239 civ ilian dentists and 7,290 serving in the armed forces, the U. S. Public Health Service and the Veterans Administration. The total estimated for 1956 was 1,646 higher than last year, when there was one dentist for each 1,669 persons, arfd it was 3,803 over the 1954 figures, when the ratio stood at one den tist for each 1,677 persons. The eastern part of the coun try and the west coast are served by more dentists in proportion to population than any other parts of the country, the survey showed. The regional leader, with one dentist for every 1,402 persons, is the area that includes Dela ware, the District of Columbia, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. - The New England area is sec-' ond with one dentist for each 1,497 residents. The Far West, including California, Nevada, Oregon and Washington, is third, with one dentist for every 1,504 persons.

Norman-Period Foundation The history of St. Mary-le-Bow goes back to the time of William the Conqueror. Still part of its foundation is a Nor man crypt whose stone "bows," or arches, supported an earlier church. From this architectural form, then new in England for such construction, the name "Bow" is believed to be derived. At least as early as the 14th century, curfew was rung by Bow church bells. The original set contained only six. the ones that tolled for Dick Whittington. These were destroyed, along with the first house of wprship. during London's Great Fire of 1666. The present church was de signed by the architectural gen ius. Sir Christopher Wren, who built dozens of the British capi tal's outstanding structures. Completed about 1680, St. Mary-le-Bow was the most expensive of his churches. Its 222-foot steeple has been called his mas terpiece. Wren planned a ring of 12 bells, of which only eight were set up. The tenor cracked and was recast in 1738, and 20 years later the others were condemned and replaced. Eventually the re maining four were added. An Unlucky Past During the 1941 blitz, fire con sumed the old wooden spiral stairway that led to the steeple. It left little more than the bell tower and church shell. Tragedy had come again to the unlucky church site. . "For divers accidents," wrote Kefauver Reaffirms Promise of Parity Janesville, Wis. U.R) Vice presidential candidate Estes Ke fauver today reaffirmed the Dem ocratic party's promise to get farmers 100 per cent of parity for their crops. "Our party is committed to achieving 100 per cent of parity farm prices." he said in a speech prepared for delivery here. "That is what our platform promises, and we Democrats in tend to keep our promises when we make them." He flew into this farm state on his first campaign swing on his own as his party's vice pres idential nominee, with an agri culture program calling for a food stamp program for distri bution of surplus food to the needy, and an expanded school milk and lunch program. (THEM Tom Shepard Assistant Campaign Chairman the 16th-century historian, John Stow, (this church) "hath been made more famous than any other." In 1090, he continued, a tempest "overturned" the roof, "slaying some persons." In 1271, much of the steeple fell down, killing many others. Each of the new Bow Bells has been formally christened at a ceremony remindful of ship launchings. "Katharine," one of the latest recast, was named by the master founder of a company that has made Bow and other bells since 1570. Only one tradition of the Bow Bells seems in danger of passing. An old saying has it that the true Cockneys meaning resi dents of the heart of London who speak in accents familiar around the world are those born within sound of the chimes.
