Dag Hammarskjold
Gives Backing to
Col. Byron Leary
Jordan Asks UN to
Remove American
BY WALTER LOGAN
United Press Correspondent
United Nations Secretary Gen
eral Dag Hammerskjold gave his
full backing today to Col. Byron
'Leary, whose removal as head
of the UN truce supervision or
ganization in Palestine is de
manded by Jordan.
Jordan demanded removal of
the American Marine colonel
on grounds he was "partial" to
Israel in his investigation of the
latest series of border incidents
Involving Israel and Jordan.
The latest incident was report
ed in Jerusalem when an Israeli
.spokesman said armed Jordan-
ians opened fire on Israeli farm
ers Sunday after several unsuc
cessful attempts at kidnaping
border residents.
Israel also accused Syria of
opening machine-gun fire on an
Israel village, killing one Israeli
and injuring several others. Isra
el demanded an emergency
meeting of the Israeli-Syrian
Armistice Commission the first
such meeting requested by Isra
el in two years.
Won't Deal With Leary
Jordan's call for the discharge
of Leary from his sensitive post
came after a week of increasing
tensions between Israel and Jor
dan. Jordanian Foreign Minister
Samir Rifai told newsmen his
country would no longer deal
with Leary.
Leary succeeded Canadian
Maj. Gen. E. L. M. Burns as
acting head of the truce super
vision group when Burns took
over the United Nations Emerg
ency Force.
Hammarskjold in effect reject
ed the Jordanian complaint and
suggested that a Jordanian rep
. resentative discuss it with him
personally. A statemtnt issued
by the UN in New York said
"Colonel Leary continues to en
joy the full personal confidence
of the secretary-general."
Result of Incident
The complaint arose beacuse
Jordan was annoyed with
Leary's handling of its com
plaint that armed Israeli sol
diers penetrated Jordan last
week and kidnaped a Jordanian
farmer. Israel has said only that
It captured an "infiltrator" In
side Israel.

said it appeared as bright as a
north star when it reached a spot
directly overhead.
"It looked as if the sun had
hit a mirror. It sort of flashed
up." Pierce said.
The Pierce family was holding
an early Thanksgiving dinner

MEDFORD, OREGON, MONDAY, NC
German Minister,
Dulles Agree On
NATO Consultations
Nations Should Hold
Regular Conferences
Washington (IP German
Foreign Minister Heinrich Von
Brentano and Secretary of State
John Foster Dulles have agreed
on the urgent need for regular
political consultations inside the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza
tion. Brentano Sunday wound up
two days of preparatory talks
here for the NATO Council "sum
mit" meeting in Paris next
month. The U.S.-German discus
sions centered on finding ways
and means for achieveing closer
political cooperation among
NATO allies.
Although it was not spelled
out specifically, Brentano's con
cern stemmed from the Tunisian
arms crisis that erupted last
week when the United States
and Britain sent arms to Tunisia
over violent French objections.
Politics The Key
Brentano believes the United
States shares the German view
that NATO's principal problems
are political rather than military,
informed sources reported. Bren
tano is said to have pointed out
that NATO's militarv situation
has remained unchanged since
the 1948 Communist coup m
Czechoslovakia.
Brentano and Dulles said they
were well satisfied with the out
come of the talks. The German
foreien minister said the discus
sions had helped "strengthen the
bonds of confidence and under-;
standing."
Top Level Talks Seen
One result of the Paris meet
ing, foreseen by Brentano, was
a heads of government directive
to the alliance's foreign ministers
to study closely what can be done
now to help evolve such a un
ified policy.
Brentatno and Dulles also dis
cussed closer scientific coopera
tion in NATO to coordinate west
ern efforts to catch up with re
rent Soviet scientific advances.
French Foreign Minister Christ
ian Pineau proposed such a
"brain pool" during talks here
earlier last week.
Before leaving Idlewild Air
port in New York for Rome Sun
day Brentano held a surprise
meeting with Pineau. The two
men evaluated the information
they had gathered here on U.S.
policies.
Sick Prisoner Said
In Better Condition
A 31-year-old man who told
city police officers that his
stomach hurt him while in jail
Sunday morning, was reported
in "better condition" about 11
a.nu Monday by Rogue Valley
hospital authorities.
Police said LeRoy Clark, 217
South Riverside ave., who was
arrested on charges of being
drunk in public about 2 a.m.
Saturday, told the desk sgt. dur
in a 9 a.m. jail check that he did
not feel well.
Police said a doctor called to
examine Clark told them Clark
not not have a fever and had not
been vomiting. When Clark told
them he had been in the hospital
recently for treatment of stom
ach trouble, he was taken to

King Mohammed V To
Arrive in U.S. Today
Washington OP King Mo
hammed V of Morocco arrives
today for his first U.S. visit in
which he will attempt to iron out
some problems and see the na
tion and its people from Presi
dent Eisenhower to Joe Smith.
The three week tour will in
clude a three-day official state
visit here which is expected to
further cement Moslem ties with
the West.
From the time R -enters this
nation King Mohammed will get
the deluxe red carpet treatment.
President Eisenhower will greet
him personally at the airport, an
honor accorded only heads of
state.
The King and President will
ride in a motorcade to the White
House from the airport. Mo
hammed V will lunch privately
at Blair House and will meet
the press during a reception later
in the afternoon.
Tonight President and Mrs.
Eisenhower will entertain King
Mohammed and his official party
at a state dinner at the White
House.
During his visit the King is
expected to confer with the
President at least twice. He will
also talk with Secretary of State
John Foster Dulles.
Mohammed V, leader of a po
tentially rich nation of nine mil
lion souls at the western end of
the Arab bloc, is one of the most
respected statesmen of the Mos
lem world.
While in the United States
King Mohammed wants to look
at an American supermarket.
He will visit a department store
and some average American
homes as weH.
In his talks with U.S. of
ficials King Mohammed and
Foreign Minister Ahmed Bala
frej are expected to try to win
support for the joint Moroccan
Tunisian offer to mediate the
three-year-old nationalist rebel
lion against the French in neigh
boring Algeria.
The question of U.S. bases m
Algeria will probably come up
because the agreement original
ly was negotiated with France.
Negotiations have since been
conducted with Morocco on a
smooth but slow basis.
There may also be some dis
cussion of U.S. economic aid to
Morocco and of continued opera-
tin of a Voice of America trans
mitter in Tangier.

The contract for the project,

Government sources described
the project as definitely being in
the "study stage" at this time.
They indicated Lockheed would
gain considerable information
for the project from studies of its
three-stage X17 rocket.
This is an Air Force project

Dr. Teller First
Witness in Senate
Probe of Program
Says U.S. Fell Back
In Race into Space
Washington (IP) Dr. Ed
ward Teller, "father" of the H
bomb, said today that Russia
may have or soon will have an
intercontinental ballistic missile
accurate enough to hit American
cities.
He said the U. S. fell behind
in the race into space because it
waited until it had a nuclear
warhead for its long-range mis
sile "and by that time it was
too late."
Teller was the first witness as
the Senate Preparedness sub
committee opened its investiga
tion of the U. S. missile and sa
tellite programs with a warning
that the nation faces a greater
crisis than at Pearl Harbor.
Senate Democratic leader
Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas, the
subcommittee chairman, said in
opening the hearing that Rus
sia's challenge with Sputniks I
and II demand from the nation
"the greatest effort in American
history".
Teller told the investigators
he believes the Russians have
developed and tested intercon
tinental ballistic missiles as they
claim, but he added a hope that
they have not produced them in
sufficient numbers to be put in
to operation.
He said he believes they either
have "or will have in a . short
time ICBMs which are accurate
enough to hit such American
cities as Houston, Tex."
The scientist, now associate
director of the University of
California Radiation Laboratory
at Livermore, Calif., warned
that unless the U.S. steps up its
military missile program "there
is no doubt that the Russians
will leave us behind and way
behind."
Under questioning by special
council Edwin L. Weisl, Teller
said continued testing of nuclear
weapons is "absolutely necces
sary." Teller said Russia's space sat
elites have "very great signifi
cance," both militarily and scien
tifically, because they show Rus
sian technological progress.
The said the Russian Sputniks
of themselves were not positive
proof that the Soviets have the
ICBM. But he said it would be
a "great mistake to proceed un
der the assumption that they are
only bluffing" in claiming to
have developed the long-range
missile.
Teller said the U.S. did not
embark on a really vigorous
program after the war because,
as He understands it, officials
felt the needed high explosives
were not available and they
were not sure missiles would be
used in the next war.
' He said this country has since
embarked on "an excellent and
an excellently managed pro

To Paris Talks
Paris HP) British Prime
Minister Harold Macmillan ar
rived today to confer with
French Premier Felix Gillard in
talks aimed at restoring the
Anglo-French alliance which
was badly torn by American and
British arms shipments to Tuni
sia. Macmillan's plane from Lon
don landed almost two hours be
hind schedule at Orly Airfield
southeast of Paris after being
diverted from Le Bourget Air
field northeast of Paris.
Fog at Le Bourget caused his
delay and change in flight plans,
but Macmillan emerged into
bright sunshine at Orly Field.
The 63-year-old prime minister
was greeted with a hearty smile
and a firm handclasp by Gail
lard, at 38 a full generation his
junior.
In , Paris, one right-wing
group called for anti-British
demonstrations in the Place de la
Concorde near the U.S. and
British embassies.
Macmillan flies back to Lon
don this evening, so his en
counter today with Gaillard was
to be a brief one. But the agenda
was heavy with crucial issues
which affected the whole West
ern alliance and the Dec. 16
NATO summit conference.
Here are the main topics up
for discussion:
Tunisian arms. The French
are still angry over the "token"
delievery of rifles and subma
chine guns to Tunsia by Britain
and America.
Algeria. France wants assur
ances of British support again
this year when the Algerian
crisis is debated in the United
Nations. This may not be forth

sufficient to end the rebellion
and that the rebellion threatens

ave., at the request of Medford
Police Chief Charles P. Champ
lin. Culley was found dead in
the city jail Saturday afternoon.
Deputy County Coroner
Charles Dorrell said the autopsy
is scheduled tentatively for lata
today.
Culley was arrested on
charges of drinking in public by
Medford police on Friday about
8 p.m. when he was found in a
public alley near Front and
Main sts. Police said Culley was
in a good mood and seemed hap
py when lodged in jail.
Police officers and other pris
oners said Culley mumbled and
talked to himself while laying
on his bunk Friday until about
midnight. The desk sergeant on
the midnight to 8 a.m. Sunday
shift reported that all prisoners
slept during his shift.
Culley, according to other
prisoners, did not eat breakfast
and seldom talked after waking
Saturday morning, police said.
About 2 p.m. he asked another
prisoner to buy him some cigar
ettes and pour him a cup of
coffee. He was given the coffee
and an officer was asked for
cigarettes.
. When bringing the cigarettes
the officer noted Culley was
lying face:down cn his bunk and
looked unconscious. A prisoner
was asked to wake him and
when turning him over, said he
was dead. About 15 minutes
elapsed between the time Culley
requested cigarettes and he was
found dead, according to a po
lice investigation.
Champlin said Culley had
never appeared to be sick, had
not complained to officers or
prisoners that he felt ill, nor
had he requested a doctor while
in jail.
Police records show Culley
has been arrested several times
this year on similar charges. He
was a former natient at Camn
