some 1000 demonstrators at Tachikawa Air Force Base where the angry mob smashed

Cool Atlantic Breeze
Brings Some Relief
To Sweltering Europe
London IW Coolin?
breezes from the north Atlantic
today brought a measure of re
lief to Europe, which has swel
tered in the grip of a 10-day
heat wave that claimed more
than 400 lives.
Only in Italy, where police
estimated at least 200 persons
had died, were temperatures in
the 90s forecast. Elsewhere
weathermen reported tempera
tures dropping rapidly as the
cool air front moved inland.

Boaters Said To
Favor Tighter Laws
Chicago W A survey by
the Outboard Boating club of
America reports boaters are in
favor of stricter enforcement of
present laws and want more
education for "common sense
afloat."
As an example of "common
sense afloat," Farry Fey of the
club cited a case in which a
friend sailed his 36-foot cruiser
15 miles off the coast of Fort
Lauderdale, Fla., and met a fam
ily in a 16-foot runabout.
"The gentleman was just
slightly confused," Fey said. "He
couldn't see, or for that matter,
didn't know the direction of
land. To add to his confusion,
he didn't have a compass."
Fey said the survey revealed
that 65.5 per cent of the more
than 24,000 answers said en
forcment of present boating law
was inadequate or non-existent.
And, of the existing laws, some
were "just plain ridiculous."
Fey noted that in one state
there is a boat motor limitation
of five horsepower.
"If you put a five-horse motor
on an eight-foot boat," he said,
"you'd swamp it, while with the
same motor on an 18-foot boat,
you'd spend 10 days traveling
five miles."
There is a brighter side to
small boating, however. Fey said
information from the Bureau of
Vital Statstics. revealed fewer
small boat accidents now than
five years ago. even with the in
creased interest.

Tuesday.
Shocked civic authorities
ordered air conditioning equip

soon as possible.
Coming after the deaths of 16
other aged in homes in Venice
and Bologna, the Milan tragedy
sparked demands for reapparisal
of the buildings housing old
folks.
Vienna police reported 46
persons died from sunstroke,
drownings or in accidents attri
buted to the heat during the past
week.

Millions of dollars of crops
were burned in the fields by the

also dropped, particularly in the

West Germany counted at

Opportunities for
Teachers Doubled
Champaign, 111. UPl Op
portunities for college teachers
'ave doubled in the past two
t ears, according to the Uni
versity of Illinois placement
office for jobs in education.
Joseph V. Totaro, head of the
office, said that the heaviest
demand or teachers at the col
lege level are in the fields of
science, business administation,
English, speech and drama, psy
chology, professional education
and women's physical education.
Totaro said even instructors
without experience were being
offered $4,00 to $5,000 a year,
depending on their training in
these fields, while those with
a doctor's degree and some tea
ching experience would receive
more than $5,000.
Meanwhile, he said, there has
been little drop in demand for
qualified elementary teachers
at beginning salaries ranging
from $3,600 to $4,000.
He also reported a major
shortage of high school teachers
in science, mathematics, English
and girls' physical education.
Theirs alaries range from $3,
800 to $4,500.

Sailors Believed
Seeking Escape
From Punishment
Long Beach, Calif. KPi The
Navy said today that two sailors
who jumped overboard to their
deaths from the cruiser USS St
Paul, apparently were attempt
ing to jump ship to escape pun-
ishment for offenses aboard ship.
The two seamen, Connie Evans
Rice, 19, Alliance, N. C, and
Howard Vernon, 21, Lumberton,
N. C, jumped overboard to their
deaths Monday as the ship left
Monterey. Calif.
Capt. Allen L. Reed, command
ing the St. Paul, said both men
had been restricted to quarters
for offenses. He said one of the
victims was awaiting approval
of court-martial sentence of six
months confinement and a bad
conduct discharge and the other
was awaiting a court-martial.
"The only motive seemed to
be a reckless attempt to desert
ship," Capt. Reed said. "The men
apparently thought they could
escape punishment for their of
fenses.
Two shipmates saw the pair
dive overboard. The Navy said
an ammunition can containing
clothing was found in the water
near the victims' bodies, indicat
ing the seamen tossed the can
overboard before diving into the
water.
Tomahawk Back
From Australia
Albany, N.Y. (IP) Joseph
Brant's tomahawk has come
home from Australia.
Brant was an Indian leader of
American Revolutionary days.
According to the story, he gave
tne tomahawk a curious com
bination of weapon and peace
pipe to Sir William Johnson,
the Tory leader for whom Brant
organized Indian raids along
what was then the American
frontier.
The tomahawk came into the
possession of Robert Clench,, a
Schenectady tavernkeeper's son
who married Sir William John
son's granddaughter.
New York state's historian,
Albert B. Corey, learned the
whereabouts of the old weapon
from Brig. Gen. Guy Ormsby
Johnson of England, from whom
the state recently acquired three
Johnson portraits. It had been
handed down to Oliver Streeton
of Australia whose father, Sir
Arthur Streeton, married Leo
nora Clench, a descendant of the
Schenectady Clench family.
The tomahawk will be added
to the Johnson Hall historical
collection at Johnstown after be
ing exhibited here- in the State
History Museum.

West Germany Begins Civil
Defense Emergency Program
Bonn (IPt West Germany,
front line territory of any fu
ture world conflict, has begun
planning for the protection of
her 50.000,000 civilian popula
tion against atomic attack.
Despite its exposed position
on the explosive Iron Curtain
border, the Bonn Republic so
tar nas not so much as con
structed a single shelter or slit
trench for civilians.
But under pressure from wor
ried public opinion and nagging
by the population Socialists, the
interior minister has begun
work on a double-barreled emer
gency civil defense program.
It combines both construction
of A-bomb-proof shelters and
mass evacuation of civil popula
tions. Because of its geographical
location, the republic's defense
planners know that it not only
would be fought over in a fu
ture war but its vital industrial
centers would become the target
for tactical atomic weapons as
well. In particular, the smoky
Ruhr, industrial heartland of
western Europe, and great ship
ping centers such as Hamburg
would be certain to be singled
out for attack.
10 Billion
West German experts estimate
it would cost a minimum of 10
billion dollars to provide atom-
proof shelters for all West Ger
many's population. This would
cover cost of construction of
concrete walls up to 25 inches
thick to withstand atomic blasts.
Retired Gen. Erich Hampe,
former president of the West
German Civil Defense Institute,
asserted this would be possible.
Hampe has proposed con
structing such shelters in exist
ing buildings as well as special
underground bunkers and tunnels.
Plans being drawn up by min
istry of interior experts provide
both for construction of shelters
in existing houses and buildings
as well as special subterranean
refuges.
Under these plans West Ger
many would be divided into
regions of varying degrees of
danger of atomic attack. The
shelters would be constructed
first in those areas considered
most threatened.
Government experts also are
working on plans for mass evac
uation of the civilian population
In a country such as the Bonn
Republic this would be particu
larly difficult.
Two Stages
The evacuation would have to
be carried out without hamper
ing troop movements, and ex
perts believe it probably would
have to get underway during the
so - called strategic warning
period" before a major conflict
actually began,
Officials are working on plans
for two separate stages of evacu
ation.
The first stage would provide
for moving civilian populations
out of endangering city centers
and congested areas into subur
ban and outlying districts up to
about 12 miles outside main
population areas. The second
stage would call for evacuation
of while families and billeting
them in country districts 20 to
40 miles outside cities.

CONCRETE is our Business
SERVICE is our Pleasure'
Schroeder announced recently
that several hundred thousand
volunteer workers of the Red
Cross, the Federal Civil Defense
association and similar organiza
tions would be responsible for
handling any evacuation.
The government still has not
announced where it expects to
obtain the funds to finance such
a program.
In 1955 the government an
nounced a $286,000,000 three
year plan for civil defense. How
ever, the opposition Socialists
have pointed out that only about
one-sixth of this sum has been
spent or made available for civil
defense so far.
A Socialist spokesman charged
that the government has "crim
inally neglected" the civil de
fense while hurrying to build
up the new West German armed
forces.
