Red Tape Snarls Vet's Love Affair BALTIMORE Wi A 29-year-old j North Carolina veteran, forced by i red tape to leave the girl he loves i and his baby son behind him In Germany, sought today to raise j enough money so he can rejoin I them. i Leroy P. Harris poured out his J story here today in a letter to the ! Baltimore Sun asking for "advice, i publicity or help of any -other kind." t Harris was discharged from the Army last November after three years of occupation duty In Ger j many. There, he met and fell in , love with Barbara, a Hungarian i girl who with her family had been , evacuated from their Budapest ; home by the Russians In 1946 and , sent to West Germany. Several months after their meet fing in 1950, Harris applied for mil i Itary permission to marry Bar i bara. He volunteered for a one 1 year extension of his overseas tour 'of duty. Then he discovered that this application to marry could be 'submitted no earlier than nine j months prior to his discharge. t He reapplied and was told his fiancee must submit a birth cer tificate signed, sealed and issued I by the proper authorities in the t-place or city of her birth. Requests j to officials of Hungary, now a sat ellite country, went unanswered. - Harris said he-filed a statement -of paternity with the U. S. consul , after the child was born in Febru- ary 1953 and began looking for I civilian employment. But arrange- ments to receive his discharge in I Germany were rejected. I Back in the United States, he ' decided to wait until be had earned enough to take him to Germany and establish him in a Job there, i But, having no work skill, he i found Jobs scarce. His present , work nets him $33.45 a week. I "I seem as far from it as I 'was when I came to Baltimore," , he said. j Private Industry !

He is Ngo Dinh Diem, "the hon est man" who became premier barely a month ago. An ardent na tionalist, he was chosen by chief of state Bao Dal to rescue the na tion In its darkest hour. He re turned from France and four years Rockefeller,; Son Meet RENO Wl Five-year-old Win throp Rockefeller Jr. will get ac quainted with his millionaire fath er while his mother, Bobo, waits for her Nevada divorce. Winnie whose father hadn't seen him since 1950 swam and played with the 42-year-old oil tycoon yes terday. Bobo termed it the first of "a period of Introductory visits." Rockefeller flew secretly to Reno Monday for the first time since agreeing to a 5!'j-mlllion-dollar div orce settlement with his wife last month. Bobo, a coal miner's daughter, reached the million-dollar bracket with the aid of two society marriages. She was not with young Wlnthrop when he met his lather yesterday. She said: "One of the things I Insisted - upon in our (divorce) agreement was a period of intro duction to his son. I'm afraid he wouldn't even know the child if this wasn't done. "He has to know his own son." Under the agreement Bobo gets complete custody of the boy but Rockefeller, she said, will have at least eight visits with him while she sits out the required six weeks Nevada residence. After the divorce Rockefeller will have visiting rights. Bobo's residence will be fulfilled the first week in August, but she told newsmen she was in no hurry to file for divorce. als the team suggested, how- lever, that the government continue ' production until private industry Jean produce more of the vital , metals. Mae West Opens ;At Top Night Spot r LAS VEGAS, Nev. Wl Mae 'West opened a two-week stand at the Sahara Hotel last night, sell ling the same kind of sexy enter tainment that launched her career 30 years ago. i She appeared with half a dozen imuscle men. Including Dick Du bois, Mr. America of 1954, and a large crowd seemed to like what ,it got. This consisted of double 'entendre dialogue and some songs, notably "Frankie and Johnnie," which Diamond Lil sang with Du bois. !

Goodwin J. Knight will be married Monday to Mrs. Virginia Carlson in Beverly Hills. Knight, a candidate for election in November, announced yesterday the ceremony will be performed at the Episcopal Cburch of our Saviour, and only about 30 rela tives will attend. Mrs. Carlson, 35, of Los Angeles, was widowed when her husband, an Air Force bombardier, was killed over Europe In 1944. The governor, 57, has been a widower since 1952. He has two grown daughters. His bride-elect is childless. of self-imposed exile. He arrived too late on a stage where the scenery already was in place. When the cease-fire agreement was signed, cutting the nation In two, many observers expected the embittered Premier to resign. In the end he took up the challenge which the elections of 1956 pose to the non-Communist half of the di vided country. Diem's job is a staggering one: 1. To rally the full support of the 13 million Vietnamese living in the non-Communist zone. 2. To bolster his military de fenses to prevent the Vletinlnh from overrunning the country if they should choose to do so. His immediate problem is to transfer as many people from the North as wish to come and to en courage those now living In the South to remain in place. In particular he must persuade l'i million Roman Catholics of the Tonkin delta that their hopes lie with him and not Communist lead er Ho Chi Minh. This Catholic element Is most Important to Dlcm, himself a Cath olic layman and brother of a Viet namese bishop.. They could cast a decisive vote in the elections two years from now. Besides bodily transplanting this part of the population to the South, Diem must undertake sweeping re forms which will convince his peo ple his is the right course for Viet Nam. The road will be thorny. Diem has his enemies, and many am bitious men and groups in the South see no reason why they should be In his present nonpar tisan government. He is bound to step on toes when he stnrts to eliminate the bribery, profit-mak-ing and dishonesty which have been hallmarks of other govern ment. His second problem, self-defense. Is linked closely to solution of the first. Vietnamese say there will be a greater tendency to support the army if they know they are shouldering arms in an honest cause. Rebels from Costa Rica Captured SAN JOSE, Costa Rica Wl Nicaragua says it has captured a hand of Costa Ricnn rebels who fled into this neighboring country after clashing with Costa Rlcan troops. The Foreign Ministry here said last night a note from Nicaragua reported her troops took tile 15 men into custody near the fron tier. They were disarmed and sent to Managua, Nicaragua's capital. Costa Rican Army officials said Monday the rebels fled Into the hilia after a clash with troops In which an Army lieutenant and four insurgents were killed. British, Egypt Suez Zone Pact Ends Bitter Struggle By ROBERT HEWETT CAIRO. Egypt I All Egypt cel ebrated today at the announce ment that the British have agreed to pull their 83.000 troops out of the Sues Canal zone, probably by mid-1956. Egyptian Prime Minister Oamal Abdel Nasser and British War Minister Antony Head signed a preliminary pact last night, agree ing on principles to be incorno rated into a formal treaty. The final accord is expected to be signed In a month or two. Tne agreement ended the two nations' long and often bloody dis pute over control of the big land and air bases, which Britain built in the strategic zone at a coet of $1,300,000,000. It provides that all British troops will be withdrawn from the Suez within 30 months after the final treaty is signed, but that Britain can use the bases again if any of the eight Arab stales or Turkey Is attacked. CANAL OPERATION Britain also will maintain the present military Installations along the 104-mile-long canal for seven years with civilian technicians. . Col. Anwar Sadat, a member of Egypt's ruling Revolutionary Coun cil, said last night Britain and the United States had agreed in prin ciple to supply Egypt with mili tary aid now that the Suez issue is settled. Sadat said the Egyptian army would be doubled within five years. Nasser broadcast to the nation that "this is a glorious day in the history of Egypt." Radio Cai ro, which normally closes down at midnight, stayed on the air all night to repeat the broadcast. Im promptu celebrations were report ed throughout the country. Egyptians were jubilant because the agreement, coming fter years of bitterness and violence, means their country will be free of Brit ish troops for the first time since lf.82. TREATY DETAILS British-Egyptian committees will begin work tomorrow on drafting the treaty details, Egyptian War Minister Lt. Col. Hussein Shafei announced. He said he expected the final pact to be signed by September. British informants said all but minor points had been agreed up on When signed, the pact will be a companion to the British-Egyptian agreement last year to let the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, Egypt's big southern neignoor, aeiermine ior itself bv 1956 whether it will be come independent. Join Egypt or aifiliate with the British Common wealth. The United States officially stood aside, in the Suez negotiations. But throughout the talks U.S. Ambas sador Jefferson Caffery kept In close contact with both sides and acted as a major consultant in helping to work out compromises, just as he had during the parleys on the Sudan, U.S. URGES The State Department was known to have urged Britain to reach an agreement in order to promote Arab cooperation with the West, particularly in building Mid dle East defense against Commu nist aggression. The British - Egyptian negoti ations on the Suez opened April 23, 1953, but bogged down several times In what appeared to be hopeless disagreement. A main stumbling block was British in sistence that some troops must re main behind In the canal zone to keep the bases in working order. As a compromise, it was agreed that the British would make con tracts with private British and Egyptian companies to do the up keep. The preliminary pact embodies these main points:' 1. The final agreement will last seven years. During the last 12 months, the two governments will We Lost Our Lease ' Watch For USED CAR LIQUIDATION Dugan&MestpK;h consult to work out future arrange ments. 2. British troops will withdraw from their bases within 20 months after conclusion of the final trea ty. The Egyptian government will then be responsible for the secu rity of the canal zone. 3. After the withdrawal, Britain may maintain "certain agreed in stallations" with civilian person nel employed by British or Egyp tian firms. 4. In the event of an armed attack on Turkey or any of the Ai ab League countries Egypt, Syria, Lebanon. Saudi Arabia, Ye men, Jordan, Iraq and Libya Egypt will consult with Britain and afford her "such facilities as may be necessary in order to place the base on a war footing and to operate it effectively." 5. The British may move ' sup plies In or out of the canal zone but may not Increase their stores there unless Egypt agrees. 6. Egypt will maintain in good order any facilities turned over to her. ' The pact was scheduled to go before the House of Commons to day, with bitter debate expected. Washington Prisoners Riot WALLA WALLA. Waih. IrV- An uneasy quiet settled over the State Penitentiary early today and tne state patrol sent additional men here to relnlorce guards watcning for . any outbreak of violence among some 1,500 hunger-striking prisoners. The silence was broken by oc casional warwhoops from "tough- les" in the segregation wing, but Warden John Cranor said a near midnight check showed most of the Inmates, who were locked in their cells after they had passed up the evening meal, were retired for the night. Guards concentrated their watch on Die, segregation wing, housing the prison's most hardened crim inals. "If there Is any trouble, it will be here," said Lawrence Delmore Jr.. former Alcatraz prison offi cial who will replace Cranor when Cranor retires Sept. 1. The hunger and sitdown strike described by Cranor as a "passive resistance" move caused chiefly by idleness, started in the prison laundry Monday. By noon yester day It had spread to virtually all the- men within the prison walls. Cranor said the minimum securi ty prison outside the walls and the women's section were not affected. "Only 62 per cent of the Inmates ate emuloyed and those idle are doing a lot of beefing," Cranor said. Robbers Clean Out Small Bank PEVELY,-Mo. Ml The Bank of Pevely had to make arrangements to get money from a St, Louts bank so It could open today. Two robbers made off with every cent in the bank yesterday. They took $40,174, bank olflclals said. "The first I knew about lt was when one of the men climbed over the top of the tellers' cage about right feet high and looked Into the loan department," said William A. Weber, 38, the cashier. Weber and four other employes were ordered into a vault, but the robbers left the door partially open to give them air. The escape car was found aban doned on a country road 3'i miles from this community of 300 about 25 miles south of St. Louis. CAUGHT IN THE ACT of snitching a snack before the chuck wagon went into operation at Fort Klamath Saturday night were Mr. and Mrs. Loren Miller, prominent cattle raisers In that area. Causes Of Cancer Described SAO PAULO, Brazil Wl The physical and perhaps emotional- stresses in a woman's life were suggested today as a possible cause of cancer of the. cervix, one of the greatest killers among the disease's many forms. 'The theory was advanced to the sixth International Cancer Con gress by Dr. Ernest Ayre of the Cancer Institute at Miami, Fla, The cervix is the neck or lower part of the uterus or womb. It is one of the most common sites of cancer among women. Dr. Ayre gave this explanation of his concept, which he said in volved a kind of chain-reaction ir ritation of the cells forming the tip of the cervix: It may begin with an Inflamma tion In the uterus continuing for a long time. The inflammation causes the release of mucous which has been found to contain the female sex hormone. The cervix normally Is exposed to this hormone at only certain times each month. But continuous exposure could well be an addi tional irritant to the cervical cells. The mucous secretion also is pos sibly alkaline enough to affect some cells. Ayre said the processv could cause scar tissue to form at the critical site. Such tissue would de prive some cells of nutrients nec essary for health and force them to live at a disadvantage, which perhaps would be enough to turn them cancerous. The specialist said emotions can affect the glandular and nervous system, and emotional stress could also affect adversely the cervical cells. The great possibility of cancer prevention lies in learning how cancer begins and interrupting the process, Ayre said. He told the congress the most practical pres ent preventive is the regular ex amination of cells which always are being cast off from the cervix. In such examinations, experts can watch for signs of changes which indicate the cells are cancerous.
