In The

Days lews
By FRANK JENKINS
'There Is a ruckus in Brazil.
The situation as this is written
is so badly befogged by censorship
that It is impossible to" determine
Just what is happening or why.
But it appears that there is a
difference of opinion as to the
seating of the president-elect who
was chosen at a recent election.
The army seems to be on one
side, and the navy and the air
force on the other.
r No shooting has been reported
as yet, but both sides are finger
ing their guns.
'
'.' Disillusioning as our political
processes in campaign years some
times seem to be; they are better
than the South American method.
1 What's wrong in South America?
And Central America?
! Basically, the trouble is ' that
down there a few people have too
much and a LOT of people have
too little. The few have vast feudal
estates and Immense business
iholdlngs. . ,'.
; . The MANY, have little more than
a pair . of cotton pants and ,'a
ragged shirt. History tells us that
situations like that have always
been trouble breeders.
ft ' . ;. . : , ! '
s Disturbing thought:
Maybe we've been thinking too
much and doing too much about
Europe and Asia and all the far
places of the world and thinking
too little and doing too little about
the Western Hemisphere. :
But ' ' !
South America is a long way
off. ...
Let's get closer home. '
The picture is brighter here.
"' As this is written, "Operation
Fair Share" (this year's United
Fund-Red Cross drive) is nearing
its goal of S129.627.
Late this, morning, the total
pledged stands at about $120,000,
leaving. less than ilO.000 yet to go.
An effort Is to be made to com
plete the goal before another day
rolls around. From 8 to 9 tonight,
over Radio Stations KFJI and
KFLW, a report is to be made to
the public. It is expected that It
will be a final report.
It is greatly to be hoped that
it will be a VICTORY report.
' Let's look, the situation squarely
in the face.
:: If the final total isn't reached
tonight, it will be because all of
the prospects haven't been reached.
It stands to . reason that if we
have raised $120,000 already we
can raise the remaining 9,000-odd
dollars before tha-day is titer if
we really mean business. ,
- Suppose you haven't been called
on. -
This is a busy world. Those who
have been doing the soliciting for
our 1956 fund for community bet
terment are as busy as anybody
else. They have been giving their
time as well as giving their
money. Maybe they just haven't
been able to get clear around,
i I'm sure all of us want to give
and expect to give. Suppose those
of us who haven't been called on
yet call up Operation Fair Share
headquarters tonight and VOLUN
TEER -OUR CONTRIBUTION.
That would end the campaign.
; It would end It on time.
It would end It in a blaze of
glory.

Offer Reward
DENVER (UP) The search
for signs of sabotage in the Nov
explosion-crash of a United Air
Lines DC6B that killed 44 persons
was intensified today after the
posting of a $25,000 reward for in
formation leading to the conviction
of those responsible, for the air
tragedy.

they offered the reward yesterday.
but UAL President w. A. Patter

A reward of $1,000 had been of
fered earlier by the Flight Engi

against United for three weeks.
The, possibility thati. sabotag
caused the huge plane to explode
in mid-air and, crash into-a sugar
beet field eight miles east of Long-
mont, Colo., was indicated by CAA
Investigator James N. Peyton last
Monday.
He said evidence of a "bomb-
type explosion" appeared in the
remains of the rear belly cargo
hold. ' ,
The next day the FBI. which
had delayed active participation
in the crash investigation until
evidence of sabotage was dis
covered, was asked to Join in the
probe.
However, a source close to the
airline .said that federal authori
ties, so far as is known, have not
found any clues pointing to anyone
who might have planted a bomb
on the Flare.

Abbott Trial
Inflecess
OAKLAND, Calif., (UP) The
family of Burton W. Abbott dis
closed today it has already cost
them $16,000 to defend htm from
charges he murdered 14-year-old
Stephanie Bryan.''; ; ,. .,
lAbbot's mother, Mr.' Elsfe' ' Ab
bott; said .iive members of the
family have 'used up all their
savings and gone into debt in their
attempts to save the 27-year-old
defendant from imprisonment or
execution.
She said it may take another
$15,000. '.
"When the taking of testimony
starts," she .said, "we'll nead in
vestigators plenty of them. But
they cost $230 a day. How are we
going to hire fnem at that price?
We're working people."
The trial was in recess today be
cause of the Veterans Day holiday.
It will resume next Monday.
When court adjourned yesterday,
five men and six women were In
the Jury box. The defense had used
seven challenges to the state's
five. The first panel of 66 persons
was exhausted and a new panel
of 60 was ordered to report on
Monday. 1
An indication that at least one
side may be near approval of the
lurv came when District Attorney
J. Frank Coakley passed up hlr,
peremptory challenge three times
row, forcing the aeiense to
us Its own challenges to kep the
jury selection going. '
When both sloes pass tne chal
lenge consecutively, a final jury
to try ' Abbott for the kidnap
murder of the Berkeley schoolgirl
will have been chosen.
Abbott was disappointed that his
4-year-old son, Chris, was not in
court. Family members had told
him they would try to bring the
boy to court for a brief visit with
his father. However, the child had
contracted measles and had to
stay In bed.
The family did the next best
thing. They gave Abbott a set of
snapshots of the child, which he
studied carefully, a smile breaking
across his face from time to time.

army coup Friday morning,.
The navy and the 'air force re
fused to support the army coup,
led by Gen. Henrique Teixeira Lott,
and issued a Joint statement pledg
ing loyalty to Luz. a dissident
member of Kubltscher's Social
Democratic Party. '
Later the navy was reliably re
ported to be ready to accept any
decision made by Congress.
. Radio Globo reported Congress
appeared ready to Impeach Luz
and give the provisional presi

Lott moved to prevent a coup
by a group of army leaders who
reportedly were planning to pre

countries if the Soviet Union will

Dulles made the announcement
in a Big Four conlerence. meeting.
Soviet Minister Molotqv rejected
ihe proposal Thursday ns a tlrst
sir toward creation of a global

he hoped Molotov's statement was
not "ihe last word."

contention Hint the plan would in
crease the vi.sk of war because it
would give ccunti ies inlormatlon

DULLES REPLIES
To "this Dulles replied lh.it the
Soviet Union "has ample iniorma
lion about the U. S. military estab
lishment and the United Slates is
not totally ignorant about the Sovi
et military esinDllsnment.".
He declared "both of us know
enough to attack each other and
whut is required Is a deterrent to
attack" such as mutual aerial
Inspection.
In an earlier, secret session the
four ministers agreed to wind up
their current conference here aft
er a final meeting next Wednesday
Dulles said the essence of Molo

nllhoUKh President Elsenhower has
good intentions he has had bad

who won world wide renown as
Ihe leader of the Western coalition
which won the great victory In
the West for freedom." i
Dulles reminded Molotov that
when the Eisenhower aerial inspec
tion plan wus put forward, it was
ucclaimed throughout the world.
"Peoplo everywhere lelt his pro
posal, if accepted, would for all
practical purposes mean the end
ing of the danger of war between
our two countries."
He quoted Eisenhower as saying
that Ihs spirit of peace would pre
vail more surely if reciprocal un
derstanding and openness existed
between the two powers which
have the greatest stockpiles of
atomic weapons. It is this "moral
aspect'" of the proposal, Dulles
sakl. which Russia "seems entire
ly to have missed." ...
ALSO ASKED . ' . '
Molotov also had asked for
pledges against using atomic wea
pons and Dulles said these were
"subject to the grave defect that
they contemplate only promises.,"
"It is basic United States poli
cy," he said, "not to allow it se
curity to be dependent upon prom
ises ana . agreements that may
prove illusory."
In support of this position, he
said the West had an example only -tills
week of Russian refusal "to
honor its agreement that Germany
should be unified through, free
elections." ...
Under the U. N. Charter, Dulles
went on, the United States has
agreed not to use force against 'Jie
Soviet Union and if Russia joes
not believe the United States "will
live by that pledge, why does it '
want more pledges?"
With respect to a Molotov pro
posal that all atomic weapons be
eliminated. Dulles said a Soviet,
disarmament statement on May 10
noted there are possibilities for
hiding atomic explosives which are
beyond the control of any interna
tional system.
