ahead at the newt that will
make the headlines.
No Walkout
It's a safe bet that France will
remain firmly and loyally in
the North Atlantic Treaty Or
ganization despite national an
ger over the Anglo-American
arming of Tunisia. And far from
weakening Premier Felix Gail
lard, the diplomatic dust-up may
strengthen him by rousing
French national spirit. Paris re
ports that NATO headquarters
officials are even more angry
than French leaders because
they were not consulted in ad
vance. Colonels Against Kings
There's a reason why King
Saud of Saudi Arabia has not de
fended King Hussein of Jordan
more vigorously against the at
tacks of Egypt and Syria. Saud,
as a fellow Oking, is all on Hus
sein's side."
Reports say Saud is alarmed
at the ferocity of the attacks and
doesn't want to stir things up.
Col. Gamal Abdel Nasser of
Egypt toppled King Farouk
from the throne. A like-minded
colonel, Abdul Hamid of Syria,
is the behind-the-scenes strong
man in Syria. Saud doesn't want
to start any battle of colonels
against kings the young revolu
tionary Arab nationalists against
the old ruling houses. Saud
might be next on the list.
State Against Defense
It hasn't burst into print yet.
But Tokyo reports there's a grim
fight between the State and Dei
fense departments over future
control of the island defense bas
tion of Okinawa. State is press-
- ing hard for the appointment of
a civilian governor. It says that
would weaken the Communists,
wno already nave elected a
mayor for Naha, the island's cap
ital. Defense is just as deter
mined that the governor shall
remain a military man. Its stand
is that Okinawa's only value is
as a military base and that a
military man should run it.
Unrest
. The East German Communists
are steadily stepping up arrests
of student and worker leaders to
eombat growing unrest. The
only means by which the Com
munist regime could diminish
dissatisfaction would be to raise
the standard of living. That they
are unable to manage. Western
intelligence agents see no sign
of an uprising. But they say that
if the Reds try to isolate West
Berlin, as they threaten to do,
and thus shut off the flow of
refugees from East Germany,
there could be an explosion.
PEACE A dove, one of
several "peace doves" re
leased in a parade of several
thousand school children in
New Delhi, perches on the
head of Indian Premier Ja
waharlal Nehru. Occasion
was Nehru's 68th birthday.
Nehru couldn't shake the
dove off so he took it home
with him.
Miss Williams, Husband
Agree on Separation
Hollywood (IP) Actress Esth
er Williams and her husband,
Ben Gage, have agreed on their
third trial separation in 12
months in hopes of saving their
marriage of 12 years.
Miss Williams said Sunday that
she and Gage had agreed to part
temporarily so that their child
ren, Susan, 4; Kimball 7, and
Benjie 8, would not suffer from
"strained relationship."
' 'The separation was agreed
to by Ben and me to work out
our problems without upsetting
the harmony of our home," the
actress said. "I hope this is not
the end of our marriage."
Bombers Make Trip

Plattsburg Air Force Base,
N. Y. (IP Six potential H-
bombers Sunday demonstrated
sweeping U.S. air striking power
by making a 10,425-mile non
stop flight in less than a day.
Refueling in air, the big B-52
jet bombers flew from Home
stead Air Force Base, Fla., to Bu-

Flight Commanaer Brig Gen.

bombers averaged more than
500 miles an hour for the 21
hour and 42 minute flight.
"There wasn't a hitch," he said.
The Air Force said there was
no attempt to set either a speed
or distance record. However, the
flisht was viewed as a demon
stration of the global air strik
ing power of the Air force re
cently stressed bv President Eis
enhower and other leaders in
the wake of Russia's missile and
satellite advances.
Only last week Vice Air Force
Chief of Staff Gen. Curtis E. Le

Buttons Waltzes Off,
Says Script Lousy
By VERNON SCOTT
United Press Hollywood Writer
Hollywood (IPI Red Buttons,
out of TV for almost three years,
turned the tables on the vacuum
tube crowd this week by waltz
ing off a network spectacular
because "the script was lousy."
The ebullient comedian says
he can't afford to appear in me
diocre shows-that's what killed
him off in the first place.
So where does an unemployed
comic get off with giving the
network NBC a hard time. Red
has an ace in the hole. He's
turned movie actor.
His dramatic supporting role
with Marlon Brando in "Sayo
nara" has cinema city savants
tapping him for an Oscar and
the picture hasn't even been re
leased. Began Oscar Rumors
"I started those Oscar rumors
myself," Red cracked over a
highball.
"Kind of ironic that I should
get bounced outta TV and then
make a comeback in pictures.
Usually it's the other way
around.
"Now that people are talking
about an Academy Award for
me the offers are rolling in like
I was Barrymore. But I've got
to be careful about what I ac
cept. No more garbage for me."
Red describes his years in
vidoe's limbo as "my own per
sonal World War III."
"I have to use my brains
now," he explained. "I'm down
to my last head. I got a little
punch-drunk making the wrong
decisions while I was on the air.
Now I know the world doesn't
hinge on Red Buttons' career.
'When my show folded I
found out how tough show busi
ness can be. Old 'friends' looked
at me as if I invented athlete's
foot."
During his two-year exile Red
worked only 14 weeks, in night
clubs. Since May, 1955, he's
appeared on television three
times, all guest ihots for the
Perry Como show.
"Perry and Ed Sullivan are a
couple of guys who treated me
like a human being after my ca
reer blew sky high," Red said
thoughtfully. "I'll never forget
their kindness."

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE
Urge Slayer May
Be Tried as Adult
Los Angeles (IPI Fuzzy
checked John L. Miller, 15-year-old
"urge" slayer of 22-month-old
Laura Helen Wetzel, today
faced a predetention hearing and
possibility of being tried as an
adult for the crime..
Sheriff's deputies indicated
Sunday that they would petition
juvenile court to try the sandy
haired, clean-cut youth as an
adult for the suffocation murder
of the little blonde-haired girl
last Monday.
Miller was captured in Reno,
Nev., Friday after an extensive
five-day manhunt during which
the youthful slayer stole three
automobiles and robbed a store
of $70 in his flight.
Officers said Miller, a reform
school escapee, readily admitted
enticing little Laura into a house
next door to her parents home
in the well-to-do community of
soon to resume dramatic lessons.
He's playing, a waiting game, re
fusing jobs that would fatten his
bank account in order to rebuild
his career.
"I'm really on the brink of
my career now." he savs.
"Everything else has been preliminary."
Four Die in Wyoming During Flu Epidemic
Chicago (IP) Four persons
have died in Wyoming during
an epidemic of influenza-type
disease, and the national total
climbed to more than 800 deaths
from flu and its complications.
The Wyoming health depart
ment said during the week end
the epidemic affected more than
26,000 persons, or about one of
every 12 residents of hte state.
Palos Verdes Estates, Calif., and
placing his hand over mouth
until she "turned blue."
"I've wanted to kill and I de
cided I might as well get it over
with," Miller told Reno police.
The slim youth had run away
from his parents who were tak
ing him on an outing from the
reform school and was robbing
the home of a distant relative
when the Wetzel girl toddled in
front of the home.
Miller said he killed Laura,
stole a car and fled to San Fran
cisco, where he swiped another
automobile, drove north to the
Oregon border, and then back
south again when snow blocked
his path.
In San Mateo, Calif., he stole
his third car and robbed a gro
cery store and moved on to
Reno where officers arrested him
on a tip from a hitchhiker that
Miller was bragging about
having a gun.
Tn other sections, Minnesota
and Georgia health officials re
ported Asian flu and other types
of influenza on the decline. Last
week, however, Georgia report
ed 32 flu-related deaths and Min
nesota reported 35.
The United Press counted a
total of at least 811 deaths blam
ed on flu and its after-effects
since Asian influenza first hit
the nation last summer.
New York had the highest
toll with 134 fatalities, followed
by Georgia with 124 and Penn
sylvania with 106.
Sixteen states, most of which
are in the Southwest or on the
Eastern seaboard, reported no
flu-related, fatalities.
