Needed Too Keep
Disarmament Alive
Big Four Meeting
Not 'Around Corner'
Washington (IP) Secretary of
State John Foster Dulles said
today that rapid progress is
needed to keep the East-West
disarmament talks alive.
Stressing the need for speed
Dulles said disarmament ' talks
can't drag on year after year
without getting some place.
If there is progress on dis
armament, he said, it should be
possible to make progress on
other East-West political issues
Dulles told his news confer
ence progress is essential, and
is needed rapidly, to keep the
disarmament talks with- Russia
alive.
But Dulles said a first step
disarmament agreement is riot
possible in anything short of
several months.
Says Speed Essential
Also, he said, Big Four talks
with the Soviet Union on Ger
man reunification are not just
around the corner. Such talks,
he said, should come only after
progress has been made on a
start toward disarmament.
The secretary of state refused
to be drawn into arguments
over details of disarmament.
Speaking very soberly, he
told newsmen that the important
thing is to get going somewhere,
somehow, as rapidly as possible.
Unless this is done, he added, it
will be very difficult to check
the -armament race.
Whether a first stage disarm
ament plan would include Eu
rope, he said, depends entirely
on the European themselves.
It is up to Germany, for ex
ample, he said, whether it would
participate in a first step plan
The whole question has been un
der review with West German
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer
who leaves Washington today.
Dulles emphasized that reuni
fication of Germany should pre
cede a final disarmament agree
ment.
Stassen Confers on
Disarmament Plans
Paris (in Harold E. Stas-
sen conferred today with the
United States's NATO allies to
seek approval of the 154iation
body on new American disarm
ament proposals.
The latest edition of President
Eisenhower's "open skies" in
spection plan would subject at
least eight NATO nations to re
connaissance by Soviet planes
and Stassen must get their okay
before proceeding.
Stassen, American delegate to
the five-nation UN disarmament
conference in London, returned
from Washington Monday with
the latest US variation on the in
spection plan.
He flew here Tuesday night
to consult with the 15 nation

Morse and Capehart Exchange Verbal
Slaps in Near-Empty Senate Chamber
Washington (IPI The Senate
was almost empty late Tuesday
night when Sens. Wayne L.
Morse (D-Ore.) and Homer E.
Capehart (R-Ind.) started throw
ing the verbal ripe tomatoes at
each other.
About 20 spectators lounged
in the visiting galleries. A few
senators sat at their desks in
various degrees of attention.
Morse Berated

began to berate Morse for his
reported statement that Presi
dent Eisenhower and Teamster
President Dave Beck were "the
same kind of immoralists."
Morse denied Sunday that he
said exactly that. But he said he
Two Men Inj
In Blast Tuesday
Near PTT Building
A Pacific Telephone and Tele
graph company employee was
hospitalized and a bystander
suffered burns yesterday about
2:30 p.m. from an explosion in
the alley in the rear of the PTT
building on North Bartlett st.
Cause of . the blast is un
known, officials said.
Another company employee
was treated for burns at the
scene of the explosion.
In Good Condition
Robert L. Glathar, 35, of 61
Vashti Way, a telephone com
pany cable splicer, was report
ed in good condition at Rogue
Valley hospital this morning.
He was treated . for- face and
hand burns. Donald R. Zimmers,
524 Fairmount ave., an onlook
er, received less serious burns
when gas in an alley manhole
exploded, according to Jack
Creager, PTT manager.
Victor S. Kasser, 17 North
Modoc ave., another cable
splicer; was working with Gla
thar, over the manhole to re
move remaining gas after repair
of ' a gas line across the alley,
Creager said. The explosion
took place while Glathar was
attempting to push a fresh air
blower duct deeper into the
hole.
Near Scene
Zimmers was standing near
the scene waiting to remove a
First Baptist church bus parked
in the alley. He was treated at
Rogue Valley hospital and re
leased. California - Pacific Utilities
company equipment indicated
there was not enough gas re
maining in the underground
ducts for an explosion, accord
ing to Creager.
Creager said gas and tele
phone company personnel had
known of the gas leak in the
area for several days, but had
not found the spot until yester
day. He surmised that an accu
mulation of gas between two
manholes in the cable ducts ac
counted for the mishap.
Damage Limited
Damage was limited to the
blower tube and ladder. Flames
in the manhole were extin
guished by the city fire depart
ment.
Creager. said Glathar was
saved possible eye injuries be
cause he was wearing safety
glasses which are required for
all PTT employees.

Didn't Like Denial
Capehart made clear that he
didn't like Morse's denial state
ment any more than the original
one Morse said he didn't make.
Warming to his topic, he noted
that Morse used to be a Repub
lican but had changed his party.

raged, is "intellectually dishon

Police Fight Off
Die-Hard Students
Tokyo (IB Japanese police
formed lines three deep in front
of the U. S. Embassy in Tokyo
today and foueht off inn enraeed
Japanese university students
protesting the Nevada atomic
tests.
A rainstorm nd heavy police
reinforcements appeared to have
forestalled a large-scale protest,
but a die-hard group of 50 stu
dents had a second angry clash
with police in front of the em
bassy tonight.
Police Order Charge
The students conversed on the
embassy gate in a solid body in
an attempt to crash police lines
and enter the comDound. The
Japanese police ordered a charge
and drove the students more
than 100 yards down a hill.
The students held a rallv and
promised another demonstra
tion "in a few days."'
Shortly before the rainstorm
student reinforcements arrived
in a bus owned by the Associa
tion of Metropolitan Teachers.
At the same time Japanese
police opened embassy gates and
nine embassy cars shot into the
street loaded with embassy em
ployees. The students did not
attack.
We Want MacArthur'
An embassy official talked
with some of the students but
would not comment. He ap
peared after police had fought
off the early group of 100 stu
dents.
The students joined in singing
rousing and defiant "labor
songs" and chanted "We want
MacArthur." U. S. Ambassador

Eisenhower Loses
Defense Fund Plea
. Washington (IP) The Hou&e
rejected the advice of President
Eisenhower today and approved
a defense appropriation bill car
rying $2,556,275,000 less than he
said was essential to national se
curity. -
In two days of unrecorded bal
lots members turned down a se
ries of Republican sponsored
amendments to restore to the
bill $313 million of the total cut.
This was an amount, a fraction
of the total cut, which was
agreed on by the President' and
GOP leaders as having the best
prospect of winning approval.
Then, in a final rejection of the
President's plea, members on a
roll call vote of 242 to 151 turn
ed down a last ditch proposal
warping the defeated amend
ments into a single 'package. -
With that done, the House
passed and sent to the Senate a
bill carrying $33,562,725,000 in
new funds to help finance the
Army, Navy, and Air Force in
the 12 months starting July 1.
The President originally had
asked for $36,128,000,000.
