Swiss Woman Dies
0 Injuries From
Riots in Hong Kong
Hong Kong (U.R) A Swiss
woman died here last night of
injuries suffered in this week's
lavage anti-foreign riots, which
authorities in this British China
coast colony believe were or
ganized by Chinese secret so'
cieties.
Mrs. Fritz Ernest, wife of a
Swiss vice counsul, was one of
11 white fatalities in the riots.
She died in a hospital of injuries
luffered when a Chinese mob
overturned the cab in which she
and her husband were riding,
drenched it with gasoline and
set it afire.
Increases Toll
Mrs. Ernest's death increased
the toll of the three-day riots to
43 known dead and 366 injured
including eight policemen. Col
onial authorities announced Sat
urday. Police raided Lichenguk, the
settlement where the- riots
started four days ago, and
marched 1,100 suspects off to
headquarters for questioning.
The authorities worked fever
ishly to fingerprint and question
more than 3,000 suspects round
ed up so far.
Despite the latest mass ar
rests, riot-ridden Kowloon re
turned to partial normalcy yes
terday. The government lifted
curfew restrictions in some sec
tions of the district and per
mitted ferry service to resume
to Hong Kong.
Although officials refused to
say that troops and police have
completely broken the back of
the disorders, United Press Cor
respondent Peter Sum roamed
the streets of Kowloon with pa
trols and reported that "the sit
uation is very quiet."

President Receives
Birthday Greetings
From Across Nation
66th Anniversary
Observed Yesterday
Washington, (U.R) A sur
prised and "deeply touched
President Eisenhower Saturday
received birthday greetings from
across the nation, a piece of a
birthday cake and pledges from
millions of Americans that they
will vote this November.
The president, sitting with his
family in a room in the White
House, watched a half-hour tele
vision show that included birth
day flashbacks to his youth in
Texas and Kansas.
The chief executive is 66 to
day. But yesterday was officially
"Ike Day" and Republicans did
it with parades, rallies, speech
es, cards and cakes from coast
to coast.
Television Show
The well-wishing was climax
ed by the nationwide television
show which featured a big cast
of entertainment stars and ended
with the singing of "Happy
Birthday to You."
Mr. Eisenhower planned to
spend his actual birthday quiet
ly with his family. His only
scheduled trip outside the White
House today will be to attend
church services.
The gayety of the occasion
contrasted sharply with Mr. Ei
senhower's last birthday, which
came while he was lying in a
hospital bed at Denver, Colo., re
covering from his heart attack.
Soon after he arrived at his
office yesterday morning, Mr.
Eisenhower was surrounded by
members of his staff who joined
in a rousing "Happy Birthday"
and presented to him a plastic
desk ornament encasing a pic
'ure of Abraham Lincoln, one of
his heroes.
Clashes Continue
On Base Extension
Tokyo (U.R) More than
5,000 police and demonstrators
clashed Saturday in the second
day of fighting over extension
of the American air base near
here. Hundreds were reported
injured.
Some 2.000 police and 3,500
demonstrators took part in the
battle. Police said 53 of .their
number were injured. The pick
ets, chiefly unionists and left
wing students, said 718 demon
strators were injured.
More than 260 police and pick
ets were hurt in Friday's fight
at the farming village of Sunak
awa on the outskirts of Tokyo.
The demonstrators object to giv
ing up farm land needed to ex
tend runways at the Tachikawa
air base.
They had prevented a govern-'
ment team from surveying the
land for eight days before the
government ordered police in to
protect the survey party.
Buffe Faffs Couple
Tie Ribbon on Deer
Butte Falls Patricia and
Daniel Wagner, who live on
th Butt Falls highway, have
tied a red ribbon around the
neck of their lamed deer to
show hunters it is not "just
another deer."
The two hav expressed
concern over the number of
deer hunters who har ben
passing their home. When cars
com to sudden stops, they
run out and shout, "Don't
shootl It's our pet!"
The anxious youngsters hope
the red ribbon may assist
their pet in surviving the
deer hunting season, which
nds Oct. 21.

About 30 candidates have in
dicated they will be at booths
or tables decorated by the two
political parties, Mrs. Thomas

Search Continues
For Trace of 59
Missing Americans
Thickening Weather
Hinders Aircraft
London (U.R) U. S. and
British planes fought thicken
ing weather over the Atlantic
Saturday, seeking traces of 59
American servicemen missing
since Wednesday, but there ap
peared to be little chance that
any would be found alive.
Hope flickered briefly early
yesterday when one plane re
ported sighting what appeared
to be two life rafts from the Air
Force transport that was carry
ing the missing sailors and air
men home from Europe. First
reports said there was a man on
one of the rafts.
A recheck found "no sign of
life on either raft." Later re
ports indicated one of the "rafts"
actually may have been a dead
whale.
Report Wreckage
A report that the wreckage of
the missing C118 (military ver
sion of the DC6 airliner) had
been sighted about 100 miles
northwest of La Coruna, Spain,
could not be confirmed immed
iately. Another search plane sighted
an orange-colored barrel, which
might be a liferaft water keg
from the missing plane.
Various other bits of debris
had been sighted by the "fine
comb" search that began a few
hours after the big plane van
ished, but none had been posi
tively linked with the CI 18.
Whale's Carcass
Ships as well as planes were
sweeping the area where the
rafts were reported. One ship
found a whale's carcass floating
at approximately the position re
ported for one of the rafts.
"A search plane made a low
level pass over both rafts short
ly after noon and confirmed that
there were no persons aboard
. . . " an earlier Air Force an
nouncement said.
"Five other objects have been
sighted, of which only one, a
mail bag, has been identified.
One of the other objects is yel
low, a color often used on Air
Force gear because of its high
visibility."

Six Principles for
Negotiation Agreed
Upon by Ministers
Yugoslavia Joins
Russia in Opposition
United Nations, N.Y. (U.R)
Russia last night vetoed an at
tempt by Britain and France to
gain United Nations support of
plans to internationalize the
Suez canal and for the Western
backed Users association.
The council approved part of
an Anglo-French resolution en
dorsing six principles for nego
tiation agreed upon Friday by
the foreign ministers of Britain,
France and Egypt.
Joins Russia
Yugoslavia joined Russia in
opposing the attempt to win ap
proval for the nationalization
plans of the west. The other seven-council
members, including
the United States, voted with.;
Britain and France.
Secretary of State John Fos
ter Dulles expressed regret that
the council '"was not able to
agree on more than the princi
ples" on which to base future
negotiations for a settlement of
the Suez question.
"I think it is understood,"
Dulles said, "that the council re
mains seized of this matter and
that the secretary-general may
continue to encourage Inter
changes between the United
Kingdom,' France and Egypt
a procedure which already has
yielded positive results."
Dulles referred to the six se
cret sessions with Secretary
General Dag Hammarskjold in
which British Foreign Secretary
Eelwyn Lloyd. French Foreigs
Minister Christian Pineau and
Egyptian Foreign Minister Mah
moud Fawzi eventually reached
agreement on the principles.
Lloyd led the fight for ap
proval of internationalization
after Pineau's last-minute ac
quiescence opened the way for
agreemnet on the negotiating
principles.
Principles Agreed On
The principles agreed on in
cluded the main point urged by
the United States: that the canal
must be "insulated" from be
coming an "instrument of na
tional policy" for any govern
ment. Egypt objected to the
wording of this principle in the
resolution but Russia voted for
it.
What fell before Russia's veto
was an Anglo-French attempt to
get the council's approval for
the 18-power London conference
proposals for international own
ership and control of the canal.
a reference to Egyptian failure
to formulate its own precise pro
posals to counter the London
plans and recognition of the
Users' .association as legally
qualified to receive the canal
tolls from ships belonging to its
members, and as an organiza
tion with which Egypt should
cooperate.
