(UPI Cablephoto) Earthquake Increase Noted Near- Volcano I Bt CHARLES BERNARD United Press International Volcano, Hawaii - (UPD - A Z gtepped-up drumfire of earth- quakes was reported today at ? the' site of the erupting Kil- - auea Iki volcano. f '.. - Seismograph charts at the 3 Hawaii Volcano Observatory - showed that the pattern of tre- 5 mors was much stronger than 1 when molten lava began Z spouting from the crater last - Saturday. .Meanwhile the fountain of Z lava subsided from Thurs 5 day's record height of 1,150 feet to 700 feet this morning. 5 ; But officials said the vol S time of the flow had not di- 5 minished at all. They said the 5f throat of the volcano appar- ently had enlarged. This is, - the fountain has reduced its - height but increased in width, 2 Observatory workers" said the earthquake tremors cor- 3 responded with the heavy Z lava flow. Last night new lava -had piled up to a depth of more than 200 feet in the era- X ter and was rising steadily at Z- the rate of three feet an hour. I- Centrally Agree Scientists generally agreed -that the spectacular show - would continue for "weeks." Z Dr. Jerry P. JSaion oi me u.o. H Geological Survey said the C la va fountain . already was S "larger than any other foun- tain that has been seen in :" Hawaii." - All of which adds up to the r fact that Madame Pele, as the Hawaiians would say, was on the Kini Popo, which roughly 1 translated means that the lo - cal goddess of fire and chief volcano lighter was doing all i right for herself. . Four airliners full of sight- seers were pelted with clink- ers, and thousands of admir : ers were routed from the cra- ter's edge Thursday when the temperamental goddess sent laval 1,150 fet into the air, an "Hawaiian Tecord. Volcanologists were ready t;to let Pele take over the show from here out She had broki 2" en all the old records, out- distanced all the predictions 9to date, and left the scientists 3only with the word that they Tdidn't know what to expect Tnext. . i The goddess arrived in her -icloak of fire Saturday night 5ln the crater of Kilauea Iki, t several miles from her tradi tional home at Halemaumau Swhere everyone had been ex pecting her to appear, trull of Surprises 5 Since then she has been ffull of surprises. Starting out -Vith seven - fire fountains, Eh cut the number down to sin. and poured all her ener gy So T making that the sJSt spectacular ever seen. H She poured out enough en- a7d firs Thursday to make U.S. park rangers close the rim road over the volcano which thousands of sightseers used for a closer look at the colorful crater. Stones were sent sailing and broke win dows in four aircraft flying over he 'crater.' - ' For the first time, the cau tious scientists admitted the possibility that the crater at Kilahea Iki might overflow. More than 200 feet of lava have piled up on the floor of the 650-foot -deep hole. Another two weeks of vol canic action, which scientists now seemed to think highly likely, could fill up the cra ter to the brim. Should it overflow, however, it would merely , run into the vastly larger crater of Kilauea and still pose no danger to resi dents of the island of Hawaii. Algeria Rebels Seek Negotiations Tunis -IUPD- Algeria's rebel "government-in-exile" today named five French-imprisoned rebel leaders to try to op en truce negotiations with the French government to end the war in Algeria. A rebel statement of the de cision to accept President Charles de Gaulle's negotia tion pffer was read to the press by spokesman Anmea Boumenjel in TUnis, head quarters of the rebel govern ment. De Gaulle recently propos ed that rebel leaders go to Paris to negotiate for peace and study his plan to give Al geria the right of self-deter mination through a plebiscite to be held when iiostilities end. At first glance the rebels seemed to have given De Gaulle a slap in the face by designating rebel . "Deputy Premier" Mohammed Ben Bella and four fellow prison ers as negotiators. But it was more meaning ful than that. The rebel an nouncement was sure to in flame French right-wingers who say force is the only way of dealing with the rebels. . Undoubtedly it would not be . to De Gaulle's liking. However the idea of negotia ting with Ben Bella and com pany was not a new one and De Gaulle is believed to have considered it before. The rebels specified: that if the preliminary talks went well another delegation would be added to the first one.

Some encouragement was sifted from the steel union's failure to ask its wage policy committee to vote on the lat est industry offer which the union rejected Thursday.

Butler notified state Demo cratic leaders two weeks ago that preferred seats and hotel rooms at the party s 1960 con vention in Los Angeles would go to delegates from states meeting their money quotas. ' At the same time, he made public a breakdown showmg how much of their quotas the state organizations contribut ed to the national party be tween 1957 and 1959. Thirty, of 54 states and territorial or' ganizations paid nothing on their 1959 quotas. A spokesman at party head quarters said today Butler had received . "cooperative" letters from Democratic lead ers 4 in Connecticut, Iowa, Montana, Nebraska and New Jersey.' - " ' ' .. Protests Reported ' Protests .were reported from-' Democratic National committee members, Byron Skelton of Texas and Edgar A. Brown of South Carolina and from Ohio State Chair man William Coleman. Butler's breakdown showed that Texas Democrats ranked 32nd, Ohio 47th and South Carolina last among the 64 states and territories in the percentage; of their quotas paid for the past three years. In a radio interview Thurs day, Rep. Wayne L. Hays (D O h i 6) denounced Butler's fund raising plan. He said he was writing all Ohio Demo cratic county chairman that anyone sending money to the Democratic national commit tee, "ought to see a psychia trist." Hays also said that Butler was running the National committee for his own "glori fication" and to win a third presidential nomination for Adlai E. Stevenson.
