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.

hour today in moderately ac

. Some encouragement was
sifted from the steel union's
failure to ask its wage policy
committee to vote on the lat

union rejected Thursday.
Observers say this indicates
the union rejection . is not
quite as final as its vetoes of
earlier contract bids.

than a half.
Electronic issues were still
among the favored. Ampex

Objections Given
To Butler's Plan
By Three States
Washington-(UPD-Five states
have given a ' cooperative
response but three others
have objected to Democratic
National Chairman Paul M
Butler's new . fund raising
plan. .
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.
