U OF 0H2S0H LIBIUM
la The-
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
The secretary of state's office in
Sacramento releases this morning
the final primary campaign expen
diture and receipt figures submit
ted by Senator Bill Knowland and
his opponent for the governorship
of California, Attorney General Pat
Brown.
Mr. Knowland lists as receipts
some $574,092, of which he contrib-
uted some J3.000 himself. He says
he spent $546,270 in his campaign.
Mrs. Brown says he collected
$415,078 and spent $402,391.
That is to say:
Nearly a MILLION dollars was
spent by two candidates in their
primary campaigns for the Reoub-
. lican and Democratic nominations
for the office of governor of Cali
iornia. It's a lot of money.
But
' What shall we do about it?
Shall we say that NOBODY shall
be permitted to contribute money
to the campaign expenses of some
body he conceives to be the best
candidate for the job? Shall we
lay down the rule that every can
didate must pungle up HIS OWN
fcXl'ENSE MONEY?
A rule like that would provide
the rich man with a great advan
tage over the poor man.
We wouldn't like that.
Shall we say that NOBODY shall
be allowed to spend ANY MONEY
to get elected to ANY OFFICE?
That would give a tremendous
advantage to incumbents and well
known persons. It would be a big
handicap to able and competent
unknowns.
I don't think we'd like that.
There is considerable talk to the
effect that THE GOVERNMENT
SHOULD FINANCE ALL POLITI
CAL CAMPAIGNS.
I'm sure we wouldn't like that
Here's a thought:
Let anybody spend as much of
his own money as he wishes to get
elected to office. Let anybody con
tribute as much money as he
chooses to anybody's campaign ex
penses. But
Require that every dollar con
tnbuted to a candidates cam
paign expenses shall be accounted
for under the true name of the
contributor and that the NAMES
of all contributors and the amounts
they contributed shall be PUB
LISHED so that the people may
know who is putting up for whom.
that the names of the
contributors and the amounts con
tributed shall be published BE
FORE THE ELECTION so that
the people may know when they
cast their votes who is putting up
the monev for what candidate AND
HOW MUCH.
I think something like that might
help.
No Visas To
Reds Urged
WASHINGTON (AP)-Sen. Ro
man L. Hruska R-Neb) called to
day for quick action by Congress
to empower the secretary of slate
to deny passports to Communists.
"It's an urgent situation," he
laid.
Hruska told a reporter that tes
timony of Robert D. Johnson,
chief of the Legal Division of the
State Department's Passport Of
fice, pointed up a deed for legis
lation such as President Eisen
hower has recommended.
At a Senate Internal Security
subcommittee hearing yesterday,
Johnson said that passports al
ready have been issued to about
S persons who would have been
processed under "our Communist
regulatiuns" had it not been for
recent Supreme Court rulings.
Their applications were pending
at the time, he said.
The court, in three cases decid
d June 16. held that the secre
tary of state has no legal author
ity to deny passports to Commu
nists or others because of their
associations or beliefs.
Johnson said that since the
court's ruling, about 70 passport
applications have been received
from persons we a normally
proress under our Communist reg
illations."
Recovery Of
In Nose Cone
CAPE CANAVERAL. Fla. (AP)
Hopes of recovering a vital nose
cone and its mouse passenger
alive after an intercontinental
ballistic missile flight through
space appeared to be waning
Thursday.
There still was a good chance,
however, that the launching ve
hicle, a huge Thor-Able rocket,
became the first U.S. ballistic
weapon to travel 6,000 miles or
more.
Some 15 hours after the power
ful Thor-Able blasted away on a
spectacular launching, there still
was no report on the progress of
the nose cone recovery operation.
A spokesman close to the proj
ect said "it doesn't look too good
now."
He explained that telemetry
ships apparently still were search
ing for the highly secret nose cone
somewhere in waters off Ascen
sion Island, 1,000 miles from the
African Coast.
The Thor-Able flight lasted only
about 30 minutes.
Officials here at fit's! appeared
to be very optimistic that the test
would be a complete success.
Some 15 minutes after the mis
sile streaked skyward, the Air
Force announced that preliminary
data indicated the Thor-Able per
formed satisfactorily.
The mission was to recover the
nose cone and its live passenger if
they survived the fiery plunge
through the earth's atmosphere
trom outer space.
A successful test also would
prove the performance of the two
stages which reportedly will play
a key role in three Air Force
moon probes. A three-stage ver
sion of the Thor-Able probably will
be used in the first lunar shot
expected in a month or so.
The same Douglas Aircraft Co,
team which handled last night's
launching will control the first Air
Force flight toward the moon.
A fleet of Air Force telemetry
ships was stationed near Ascen
sion Island off the African coast to
spot the nose cone as it dropped
into the depths.
Only the Snark. a lel-propc led
missile that travels only at 600
m.p.n., has covered the intercon
tinental distance up to now. It is
not a space weapon, however.
The test rocket a Douglas
Thor intermediate range missile
coupled with a modified Vanguard
second-stage vehicle streaked
into the starlit Florida, sky, with
an ear-splitting roar .and a flash
of yellow flame.
The rocket appeared to function
normally during the three minutes
it was in view to press observers
a mile and a half from the launch
ing site.
If he survived the 30-minJte
trip, the tiny white'mouse would
be a prize patient for researchers
studying the problems of manned
space flight.
Trie mouse was nicknamed
"Mia II" for "Mouse in Able."
The original "Mia" died when
the first Thor-Able rocket became
lost in space and apparently
plunged into the Atlantic last
April 23.
Rocket experts believe that the
intermediate range re-entry prob
lem was solved when an Army
Jupiter nose cone was recovered
intact from the ocean after it
plummeted back from space at a
speed of 9,000 m.p.h.

Soviets Again
Demand U.S.
Stop A-Tests
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MOSCOW (AP) The Soviet Un
ion has demanded again that the
United Mates agree that the Ge
neva conference of nuclear scien
tists work for an immediate, uni
versal suspension of nuclear weap
on tests.
The East - West conference.
which began July 1, is restricted
to seeking ways to detect viola
tions of any ban on tests that
might be agreed on at later politi
cal taiKs.
A week before the Geneva meet
ing got under way. the Soviets
threatened not to send a delega
tion unless the United States
agreed in advance that a halt to
atomic weapon tests was the goal
of the conference.
The United slates said that
would be putting the cart before
the horse. It insisted the scientists
could only talk about practical
means of detecting atomic tests.
The Soviets sent a delegation any
way. In a sharp note last night the
Soviet Union accused the United
Slates of trying to justify is re
fusal to end nuclear tests by
claiming that effective control of
a test ban was impossible "even
though it is now clear that such
control is quite feasible."
Foreign Minister Andrei Gro
myko handed the note to U. S.
Ambassador Llewellyn Thompson
Jr. in reply to an American note
of June 30. The State Department
had no comment, but officials said
they were not impressed by the
new Soviet blast.
The Soviet note accused the
United States of side-stepping "a
definite reply whether it agreed
that the meeting of experts should
be devoted to solving the question
of universal and insant suspen
sion of nuclear weapon tests."
Fleet Leader
Probes Delay
GUANTANAMO, Cuba (AP)
Adm. Jerauld Wright, command
er of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet, flew
into the U.S. Navy base here in a
jet plane Thursday to make a first
hand check on the delay tiy Cuban
rebels in releasing 30 captive U.S
servicemen and a Canadian.
(In Havana, hopes ran high at
the U.S. Embassy that some of
the servicemen would be re
leased shortly.)
Fidel Castro's rebels released
two" more American civilians
Wednesday as they continued their
bit by bit release of the 50 North
American hostages taken since
June 26.
Adm. Wright immediately went
into conference with Rear Adm
R. B. Ellis, the bise commander
here, and planned to return later
to his headquarters in Norfolk, Va.
The Navy obviously is growing
impatient at the delay in getting
its men back. Nineteen civilians
have been released so far but no
servicemen.
Rear Adm. R. B. Ellis, the base
commander, said U.S. Consul
Park Wollam had told him he
fully expected five sailors to be
released yesterday. Wollam has
been in rebel territory negotiating
for release of the captives since
shortly after the kidaapings be
gan tvo(Jjdoks ago.
Ellis said the delay in the re
lease of the five "is due purely
to transportation troubles." Earli
er he had blamed difficulties in
communicating with the widely
scattered rebels.
Robert Wiechan, vice consul at
Santiago, flew back into the jun
gle to join Wollam in negotiations.
The helicopter that carried him
relumed with Albert M. Ross. 51,
Houston, Tex., and James D. Best,

ADDRESSING CANADIAN PARLIAMENT, President Eisenhower noted that American

a number of issues that had marred recent American-Canadian relations. The President

Commons at Ottawa. Seated at left, front row, left to right are Canadian Senator Wil

OTTAWA (AP) President Ei

John Diefenbaker agreed Thurs
day to establish a joint U.S.
Canadian Cabinet committee on
continental defense.
A statement issued by the two
leaders said the new Cabinet body
will supplement but not supplant
existing joint committees and
boards, such as the Joint Defense
Board.
The decision was reached at a
final session Thursday morning
As a result of earlier talks, the
North American neighbors had
agreed to cooperate on the oues
tion of trade with Red China and
means of preventing a surprise
attack.
Tomorrow Eisenhower returns
to Washington. He will slop at

The President and Prime Min

as they come up, differences aris
ing over conflicting export poli
cies and laws.
Such conflict exists on com
merce with Communist China.
The United States bans all trade
with the Chinese Reds; Canada
embargoes only sales of strategic
goods.
Canada apparently won some
thing of a concession.

Ihe postmaster and his wife, John
and Dora Williams, witnessed the
death of the three berry pickers
on the long-narrow island one mile
offshore in Yakutat Bay.
Williams told the airline official
there was terrific suction in the
water alter the end of the island
fell away and violent turbulence
churned the bay.
Only a few paper plates from
the picnic and strawberry picking
outing were found after the se
vere currents subsided.
The temblor shook buildings
and rattled windows In Sitka,
Juneau, Ketchikan, Skagway, Yaku
ts,, and other southeast Alaska
communities and was also felt In
Whitehorse, Y.T.
Some damage to oil linn, water
tanks and docks was dona in Yak
utat, but apparently the loll mm
minor elsewhere.
