Use Of US Troops Unlikely
In Lebanon, Says Official
WASHINGTON (AP) - Ameri
can officials said Saturday that
any use of U.S. troops in Lebanon
is remote and highly unlikely.
This estimate was at some vari
ance with the impression left by
Secretary of State Dulles four
days ago that U.S. military action
would be taken under certain con
ditions to preserve Lebanon's in
dependence. The questions put to Dulles at
his Tuesday news conference dealt
with U.S. troop use and possible
military action inside and outside
the frame of the United Nations.
He replied:
"If there were a call made for
us to participate physically in
that effort, I think we would be
inclined to go along with that. . .
"I'm aware of the fact that the
Mh Fleet is watching the situa
tion; some of its elements are
close to the situation: that they
have on a rotating basis elements
which could, if need be, respond
to appropriate invitation."
But informed officials say he
was not necessarily talking about

officer John A. Owen was indul
Rent when a man rushed up to
his patrol car near a bar early
Saturday and exclaimed: "Offi

"Sure," soothed Owen.
"No," insisted the man. "It's a
real tiger. Look!"
Owen played his spotlight and
looked. Sharpening its claws on a
fence outside 3637 Foothill Blvd.
was a tiger, snarling.
Owen called the SPCA, which
sent attendants who captured the
tiger with a long pole with a wire
noose.
At 8 a m. a man telephoned po
lice headquarters: "I've lost my
tiger."
"We have one," replied the po
lice. The man arrived and identified
himself as Robert Ketchum. 31, a
merchant marine boatswain's
mate who said animal trainer
Clyde Beatty had given him the
cub soon after it was born on a
voyage to this country from India.
He said the tiger, named Sirung

was of Bengali extraction and
eventually would grow to weigh
800 to 1,000 pounds. It's only 40

' "He's a wonderful pet," Ketch

to manage. He gets restless."

den Lebanon. They said "to par
ticipate physically" could mean
simply sending small arms, jeeps,
white helicopters and searchlights
to U.N. observers along the rocky
Lebanon-Syrian frontier.
These officials said the Leba
nese situation would have to de
teriorate considerably a threat to
the lives of the 3.000 Americans
there, or a patently Communist
military aggression before any
U.S. troops :e ordered in.
This interpretation, coupled with
the impression left by Dulles
Tuesday, recalled the secretary's
views on "brinkmanship." He
told an interviewer in the Jan. 16,
llinfi. issue of Life magazine:
"The ability to get to the verge
without getting into the war is the
necessary art. If you cannot mas
ter it, you inevitably get into war,
If you try to run away trom it,
if you are scared to go to the
brink, vou are lost.
He said the United States had
gone to the brink in Korea, For
mosa and Indochina. This time,
as in the Suez Canal crisis of late
1956, he appeared to be going to
the brink again.

Snowflake has a right to be miffed.
Snowflake, a female polar bear,
rubbed noses through the bars
with Bruno, a Canadian black
bear in an adjoining section at
Slater Park.
Snowball, male polar bear and
Snowfloke's room mate, resented.
Soon the fur, black and white, was
flying as powerful paws slashed
away between the bars. Bruno
was cut over the right eye and
Snowball cut on paws and nose.
But the rivals abandoned the
fray when an attendant threw in
some food.
What lady wouldn't be miffed?

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP-"In
the public interest, including the
interest of both Negro and white
students." U.S. Dist. Judge Harry
J. Lemley of Hope Saturday
granted Central High School a
breathing spell from racial inte
gration. The veteran Arkansas jurist
granted a school board request
for a 2'j-year suspension of its
gradual plan for public school de
segregation. Under Lemley's ruling, the sev
en Negro students still enrolled at
Central at the end of the past
school year would be barred from
the 2.000-pupil high school this
September.
In New York, spokesmen for the
National Assn. for the Advance

appeal would be filed promptly.
Gov. Orval Faubus, whose na
tional guardsmen last September
turned away Negroes seeking to
enroll in Central, commented:
"The Negro citizens of the com

to re-establish the normal and

here before .... This is not

Auto Workers
Plan i Strategy
DETROIT (AP) - The United
Auto Workers Union Is preparing
for a late summertime showdown
with the car makers on labor con
tracts. . . .
Bargaining talks were in recess
until Monday, when summer will
be in its third day. But union lead
ers planned a busy weekend.
They moved out among rank and
file members to drum up support
for strike votes.
-Walter P. Reuther, president of
the UAW, says he has no intention

Apparently he is keeping a
sharp eye on the number of unsold
1958 models. New car stqpks have
been whittled down from more
than 850,000 to fewer than 700.000.
Indications are the auto makers
may start the 19o9 model runs
with comparatively few 1958 mod
els unsold in September.
UAW officials said Saturday
that a strike vote in progress at
General Motors and Ford plants
was running more than 13-1 in fa
vor of a walkout it necessary to
back up union demands in the cur
rent bargaining. The officials said
that returns from 33 UAW locals
at GM plants and 13 at Ford
plants totaled 58.669 for and 4,397
against any strike action.
The union appeared to be in no
big hurry about scheduling strike
votes among other locals repre

and tensions stemming from the
presence of the Negro students
had adversely affected the educa
tional process.
The board said it could see no
improvement in the situation if
the Negroes were permitted to re
turn mis tall.
Lemley, 74, heard the case here
June 3-5. In reaching his decision,
Lemley wrote in a 35-page opin
ion: "The importance of maintaining
education standards today is cer
tainly no less than it has been in
pior years; in fact it is more ur
gent. And while the Negro stu
dents at Little Rock have a per
sonal interest in being admitted
to the public schools on a nondis
criminatory basis as soon as prac
ticable, that interest is only one
factor of the equation, and must
be balanced against the public in
terest, including the interest of
all students and potential stu
dents ....
"There is also another public in

eliminating, or at least ameliorat
ing, the unfortunate racial strife
and tension which existed in Lit

still exists there.
ing why Moscow s oohev has
hardened and what if anything the
United States and its allies should
do about it.
One point seems to stand
out
clearly:
Khrushchev s failure to get
quick summit conference has
caused him to turn to other and
tougher means of achieving ob
jectives. This may have had a
hearing on his crackdown in the
Communist satellite countries.
Eisenhower told a news confer
ence Wednesday the Soviet lead
ership was responsible for the ex
ecution of former Hungarian Pre
mier Imre Nagy and others who
were in power at the time of the
19.t6 Hungarian revolt. He termed
this a setback to his hopes for
working out agreements with the
Kussians.
Asked then whether he .saw any
va.ue in continuing his corre
spondence with Khrushchev. Ei
senhower replied he would have
to talk the whole thing under ad
visement.
Qualified officials said Saturday
the top-level contact is much too
valuable for Eisenhower to break
off the exchange.
But they deplored involvement
of the great prestige of the presi
dency in many exchanges which
they say Khrushchev has used for
obvious propaganda rather than
for real negotiating. They indicat
ed Eisenhower would like to elim
inate that kind of letter. He could
perhaps do so by having the State
Department reply to any Khrush
chev message he considered of a
pi r,paganda nature.
Khrushchev used personal let
ters early Ihis year to press his
campaign for a summit confer
ence without diplomatic prepara
tion. He did not force the Western
powers into agreement. Officials
said that in -recent weeks the
Kremlin has shown less concern
for world opinion and has been
pressing the United States and its
allies to grand Soviet objectives
along a broad diplomatic front.

The slaying occurred in Jackson

Fresh GOP Demands Rise
For Firing Of Chief Aide
WASHINGTON (AP) Fresh
Republican demands arose Satur
day night for the ouster of Presi
dent. Eisenhower s chief aide be-1
cause of what National Democrat
ic Chairman Paul Butler blasted as
"the Sherman Adams , mess.'
The While House tood firm be
hind Adams, denying reports that
Eisenhower is looking around for
a successor to his No. 1 assistant.
Vice President Richard Nixon,
who may become the party's
standard bearer in 1960, counseled
fellow Republicans to take it easy
and quit fighting among them
selves. Rep. Oren Harris (D-Ark),
whose House Commerce subcom
mittee investigation of federal
alphabet agencies started the up
roar; announced that the inquiry
will go on through the summer
and perhaps into the fall.,
Hot words came from Democrat
ic Chairman Butler in a speech
prepared for a party dinner in
Omaha. Butler said in his text the
Eisenhower administration is set
ting new records in corruption,
wrongdoing, giveaways, and influ
ence peddling.
Influence peddling has not only
been condoned." he said, "It has
generally been defended and re
warded, even by the President
himself."
Butler described the 1952 GOP
promise to clean out corruption
as "perhaps the most classic, the
most hypocritical, the most com
ically tragic example of all the
empty campaign pledges."
He quoted Eisenhower as say
ing as late as 1956: "I can't be
lieve that anybody on my staff
would ever be guilty of an indis
cretion. But if ever anything
came to my attention of this kind
tures give no idea, however, of the noisiness of the room,
which is blasted by frequent inhuman shouts from e

to Pete, and anyone else within e hundred yards, can hear

Adams' action was 'imprudent,'
he. was not going, because. 'I need
him.' " . ,
Unlike many other Republicans.
Nixon was represented as feeling
the Adams controversy will not
have much effect on the Novem
ber elections.
One of those taking an oppo
sing view was Rep. Richard M.
Simpson, (R-Pa), chairman, of the
GOP Congressional Campaign
Committee. Simpson told report
ers it was his own belief .that the
Adams affair "can only be harm
ful" to the GOP at the ballot box
this fall.
Another Republican.' Sen.. Ro
man Hruska of Nebraska, came
out with the statement that
Adams' conduct was "more seri
ous in nature and degree than in
several instances where persons
in this administration were re
quired to submit their resigna
tions." From the Democratic side. Sen.
John F. Kennedy of Massachu
setts said Adams' usefulness as
presidential assistant has been
seriously affected "if not de
stroyed," and Sen. Russell B.
Long of Louisiana said:
t can t understand why Mr.
Adams stays In after all these
speeches he made about how ter
rible it was for other folks to get

or for some girl to get a fur coat."
