One Egyptian plane was hit by

Egyptian authorities said the
shooting brought the total dead in

the Egyptian-held coastal area of

13 Israelis.
Each side blamed the other lor
the continuance of bloodshed.
Ol'TPOSTS FIRED ON
An Egyptian army communique
said the Israelis fired on five
Egyptian outposts east of Gaza

the fire. The communique said
four Egyptians were killed, while
the wounded included six Egyp

In Jerusalem, the Israeli gov

attack on an Israeli patrol near
the village of Bert in which two
Israelis were wounded; 12) the
mining of two Israeli army cars
near Berrl. killing two Israeli
soldiers and wounding three; and
3 another Egyptian attack on a

of self-defense for the protection
of the lives of Its citizens."
The clashes came as tne Arab

year-old Jewish -Arab deadlock
over a peace treaty.
DULLES' STUDY
So far there was no official Arab
reaction, but Western diplomats
regarded as encouraging the ap

Dulles' plan. The Arab League
will meet here next Saturday to
discuss the proposals, which in

of the borders of Israel and the
Arab states and an International
loan to compensate the 900,000
Arab refugees from Israeli-held

ranged from coolness to outright
opposition.
The Israeli government also was
noncommittal on Dulles' propos

Storm Clears
East Coast
TIAMI Fla. W The all clear
was sounded Monday for the en
tire East Coast and piobably for
Bermuda as far as Hurricane
Edith is concerned.
The Atlantic storm has made its
predicted turn to a north-north
easterly course and will keep its
60 to 83 mile winds over the open
sea. said Oordon Dunn, chief
storm forecaster here.
"The entire East Coast is in the
clear now and the islands of Ber
muda probably will not experience
hurricane winds," Dunn reported.
"There is a wide open path for
the hurricane to swing around to
the Northeast and keep going over
open water, a menace only to
shipping."
The tropical storm maintained a
forward pace of only eight miles
an hour but was expected to pick
up forward speed late Monday or
Monday night.
Top winds in squalls were esti
mated at 80-85 miles per hour. The
storm Monday forenoon was about
160 miles south southeast, of Ber
muda and about 1.000 miles east of
Daytona Beach, Fla.
Reds Charged
By UN Leader
PANMUNJOM, Korea W The
U. N. Command Monday charged
the Communists with gross ne

the wounded flier was in Red
hands.
MaJ. Gen. Harland C. Parks,
senior Allied delegate to the Mil
itary Armistice Commission, told
the Communists at a meeting Mon
day BumpRss could not recall re
ceiving any medical treatment un
til the second night after his plane
crashed.
The general also told the Com
munists the Jackson. Miss., flier
denied making a statement attrib
uted to him by North Korean prop
aganda broadcasts.
Maj. Gen. Jung Hook Rok re
plied that Bump ass was "insane"
if he denied the purported state
ment, which praised Red treat
ment and spoke of "how U. S.
propaganda was deceitful."
Of the treatment given Bumpass
alter his plane was shot down
Aug. 17 near the neutral zone by
Red guns. Parks said:
"To the best of hi.i knowledge,
he was never X-rayed by your
doctors ... the crnly treatment he
received consisted of sewing up
head lacerations.
"Your treatment and handling
of this represents a gross disre
gard of the probably grave conse
quences to his life.'
Parks showed the Communists

Peace Hopes
DENVER W President Eisen
hower expressed the hope Mon
day that United Nations disarma
ment talks opening in New York
will lead to an easing of world
tension.
The President made the state
ment at the summer White House
after conferring by telephone with
Secretary of State Dulles, who was
In Washington.
The President's statement was
timed to coincide with the start in
New York of disarmament talks
by a United Nations subcommittee.
Represented on the subcommittee
are the United States, Russia,
Great Britain, France and Canada.
Eisenhower noted that the New
York sessions resulted from an
agreement reached at the July
meeting of the Big Four at Gene
va. In his prepared statement the
President said:
"Of the actual decisions reached
at Geneva the first to be put to
practical test is the decision to re
new talks on limitations of arma
ments." James C. Hagerty, press secre
tary, declined to say whether the
American delegation in New York
would put forth any new disarma
ment proposals. Hagerty said he
preferred to let the answer to that
one await developments In New
York.

Former Army Officer Faces
Charge In Wartime Slaying
WASHINGTON Wi Former Ar
my Lt. Aldo L. Icardi was indicted
Monday on eight charges of false
ly denying- any part In the cloak
and dagger World War II slaying
of Maj. William Holohan.
The indictment was returned by
a federal grand Jury which has
been investigating the Holohan
slaying for several weeks.
The indictment accuses Icardi,
of Pittsburgh, of giving false testi
mony in eight instances when he
testified before a House armed
services subcommittee in March,
1953
Holohan was slain lit Northern
Italy la 1044 while leading a group
which parachuted behind Axis
lines. Icardi and Carl Lo Dolce of
Rochester, N. Y.. were members
Of the secret mission.
Icardi, who was second in com
mand to Holohan, and Lo Dolce
were tried in absentee by an Ital
ian court and convicted of slaying
Holohan. They could not be ex
tradited, however, to serve the sen
tence s-r-IKe for Icardi and 23 years
for Lo Dolce.
Lo Dolce did not testify before
the House subcommittee which in
vestigated the slaying.
Fourteen persons were flown
here from Italy to testify before
the grand jury in its investigation
of the sensational Ha.lohan case.

police lieutenant who dragged Hoi
ohan's body from Lako Orla in
Northern Italy in June, 1950.
Discovery of the body had led
to charges by Italian authorities
that Holohan was murdered by
American companions on the mis
sion. Witnesses at the trial In Italy
testified a dispute arose between
Holohan and Icardi on the distil'
button of arms to underground
partisans. The account was that
Holohan objected to possibly sup-
plying ammunition to Communists
while Icardi favored equipping the
Bnrtisans. . ,.
One of -the perjHiry-'charge's ' ac
cused Icardi or swearing falsely
when he denied any knowledge of
poison being placed in soup given
to Holohan on the night of Dec.
6, 1944.
The Indictment said Icardi "in
structed, advised, requested, or
dered and commanded'1 an Italian
to place a ccrtnin poisonous sub
stance in soup to be served to Hol
ohan and was present when tins
was done.
When he testified before the sub
committee. Icardi was asked
whether Lo Dolce "cither drew
straws or tossed a coin as to who
was going to kill Holohan." Icardi
replied, "No. sir."
The indictment charged this
testimony was not true and that
Icardi and Lo Dolce "(lid, by
means of lot, sortilege (sici and
chance, determine and elect which
one would kill Holohan."
The grand Jury also charged
that Icardi told a false story to
the effect thut Holohan decided to
move the Ofiice of strategic Serv
ices mission from Villa Castle Nu
ovo to another location and that
Icardi heard shots liicd alter Holo

The Justice Department refused

Labor Charge
Dismissed
WASHINGTON W The National
Labor Relations Board Btuiday
dismissed unfair labor charges
brought against the AFL Teamsters
in Portland by office workers.
rne case was an outgrowth of
a labor dispute between the union
and Its office workers which re
sulted in the union headquarters in
Portland being picketed in 1953.
After a hearing of the charges,
ILRB examiner Martin S. Bennett
found the union guilty ot trying to
prevent Teamster otllce employes
from Joining a rival AFL Office
Workers union. He said that the
Teamsters had discharged several
employes for Joining the Office
Workers union and had tried to get
another to "take a trip" to avoid
testnying at tha NLRB probe.
Tne NLRB overruled the exami
ner by a 3-2 vote and dismissed
the case, contending thai unions
come under the NLRB ru)tn
against taking cases involving non
profit organizations, Abe Murdock,
a member of the commission, said
he would consider such charges
only when the union is oneratlnz
-kan all-out business enterprise.
Dissenting members in a snarplv
worded statement said that
employers "will no doubt be aston
ished to learn" that unions are free
to engago In the samo conduct
forbidden employers.
They added: "ft is unrealistic In
any case t believe that a Con
gress which animated by a desire
to make the Wager Act a two-wav
street adopted an elaborate code
of restrictions upon labor unions
could have intended to strike down
in whole or part the only Imitation
in the Wagner Act upon labor
union conduct.
Such a view not only takes
language out of context but ignores
the mood of Congress in passing
the Taft-Hartley Act."
