la The-
Day's lews
By FRANK JENKINS
The big news as this is written:
No BOMBS have been dropped
yet.
Don't pay too much attention to
scattering rifle fire. There are
many rifle in the Middle East
and a lot of nervous trigger fin
gers. In the U.N, the expected hap
pens. Russia vetoes the United Slates
resolution to send an international
police force into Lebanon under
the United Nations flag. If that
had been done, U.S. troops would
have been withdrawn.
That happened in what is known
as the Security Council. The Unit,
ed States moved immediately to
call the U.N. General Assembly
into session to consider the plan
to send in an international police
force to handle the situation.
The General Assembly is a step
above the Security Council. It
COULD override the Russian veto.
A word of advice:
Don't expect too much in the
. way of constructive and decisive
action from United Nations.
It's a rather weak reed to lean
on unfortunately.
I suppose you've noted the anti
American "demonstration" in Mos
cow. An "angry" mob' of Russians
gathers in front of the American
embassy and screams "GET OUT
OF LEBANON" and throws stones
and ink bottles. Russian troops
are called and quiet the mob of
some 20,000 persons alter all the
windows in the firstthree stories
of our embassy building were
smashed.
. Don't pay too much attention
to that as a sign of American un
popularity. It's a part of the com
munist war of nerves. It wasn't
spontaneous. It was PUMPED
UP for a purpose. The commu
nist authorities passed the word to
their stooges to go and do it, so
they went and did it.
Dedicated communists are dis
ciplined and obedient. Therein lies
a lot of communist Russia's pow
er to do mischief in the world.
V What is it all ahout?
T It's a tangled mess.
But here are the fundamentals:
Russia's purpose is to conquer
the world for communism.
. Our purpose is to PREVENT the
enmmunization of the world. We
want to live in a FREE world.
I We'll fight, it we have to, to keep
a free world to live in.
--There are minor complications
Krushchev is a big Caesar. He
wants tn STAY big.
Tito and Nasser are little Cae
ars. They want tn get bigger. If
ft will serve their purpose, they
will throw in with Krushchev. Or.
if they think it will serve their
purpose better, they will throw in
' with us.
Our NATO allies want !: reruain
free but with the possible excep
tion of Britain they would like
' for us to do the bulk of the fight
ing to keep them free.
m That's about the size of it.

Gives Sheriff Workout
By JAMES PHILLIPS
A 13-year-old boy tried to pull
off an extortion plot here Friday
afternoon, complete with note, af
ter getting the idea from TV, he
told authorities.
And. a la Richard Diamond, he
was justly caught by means of a
two-hour police stake-out and a
chase which involved climbing a
steep rocky cliff. Marked money
was also a factor.
The "Case of the Kidnaped
Brief Case" began when Harold
Brown, a Stockton. California.
salesman staying overnight at a
local motel, puffed into the county
jail at 12:45 p.m.
He handed Sheriff J. M. iHedi
Brittnn a crudely written, but nev
ertheless crystal clear note which
Brown had found on the front seat
of his car, parked unlocked at the
motel. ,
It said, in substance: "If you

Woman Holds
Key To Probe
WASHINGTON 'API A woman

under federal protective wraps un
til she can testify before Senate
investigators about Detroit labor
racketeers.
Chairman John L. McClcllan
'D-Arkl of the Senate Rackets
committee, disclosing this Satur
day night, said the woman will
testify at hearings starting here
Wednesday on alleged linkups be
tween the Teamsters Union and
Detroit hoodlums. McClellan re
fused tj give any clue to her iden
tity. Committee Counsel Robert F.
Kennedy said the woman had
been spirited out of Detroit in the
protective custody of a lederal po
lice agency because of telephone
calls threatening her with harm
if she .testified.
"The information she will testi
fy to." Kennedy said, "will reflect
adversely on the Teamsters Un
ion and on a company that has
connections with the underworld."
The committee, in a running
feud with Teamsters Union Pres
ident James R. Hnffa, has repeat
edly accused Holta of conniving
with New York and Detroit labor
racketeers to holster his union
power. Ho((a has denied the
charges.

you have left the money, you will
find instructions on where your
brief case is."
Brown said he valued the case
at some $100 and wanted it back
badly. He had left it on the front
scat of the car.
The sheriff swung into action.
First, two $10 bills, each marked
with a "B" for Britton, were
placed in the appointed spot.
Then, rounaing up Deputy Del
Summers, the sheriff sped tn a
well-hidden spot near the gas sta
tion in his new "Ranger" squad
car.
The lawmen, getting into the
spirit of the thing, took off their
easily-recognizable 10-gallon hats
as well as their stars. They set
tled down to wait with eyes peeled
on the rest room.
It wasn't long before a patron
went in and came out. As the
sheriff watched him leave. Sum
mers strolled casually into the
rest room. The two tens were
still there.
This procedure went on for
about two hours and nine rest
room patt ins.
While Summers was in the room
determining the last patron hadn't
taken the money, in came the
13-year-old..
According tn Summers, he "act
ed suspicious." When the deputy
asked him what he was doing in
there, the boy said nothing.
men he dashed out and ran
straight up the sheer rock cliff
at the gas station rear, Summers
was right after him.
Sheriff Brittnn, high-heeled cow
hoy boots notwithstanding, leaped
out of the car and joined the pur
suit over the cliff.
A block away on Pine Street,
Summers caught up with the cul
prit and he was returned to the
car for questioning.
Vtheres that brief case?
asked the sheriff.
The youthful suspect at first pro
fessed not to know what the sher
iff was talking about but after
awhiie he finally pointed a finger
to a tree ahout 15 feet away from
the sheriff's automobile.
"Over there," he said.
And sure enough it was, hidden
in the tree's low foliage.
The would-be extortionist was
handed over to juvenile authori
ties to answer for his back-fired
extortion plot.
He never did get the marked
money.

"You are nelping the Lebanese

"The aggressors." he said, an-
parently referring to the British
and American forces landed in
Lebanon and Jordan, are playing
with fire. Fire is always easier to
start than to quench."
Khrushchev said he is ready t
meet "any day and any time, the
sooner the better."
"The Soviet government Is
ready to meet, at any place, in
cluding Washington if for any rea
son Geneva or the capital of some
other neutral country should not

shchev said.
Khrushchev warned the Western
Powers that the Soviet Union pos-
sesses ballistics rockets of all
varieties, including intercontinen
tal." 'We know." he said, "that the
I'nited States has atomic and hy
drogen bombs, that you have an

"But you will know that the So

"However," he said, "we consid
er that at this responsible hour
it would be wiser not to bring

WASHINGTON (AP) Th
United States Saturday night

At the same time the United
States called on the Soviet Union
to "cooperate with other members
of the U.N. Security Council to
assure the independence and in
tegrity of Lebanon."
The statement of U.S. reaction
was issued by the State Depart
ment after Secretary of State Dul

with President Eisenhower, who is
at Gettysburg. Pa.

cuss the Khrushchev maneuver

sta a massive campaign to con
vince the world that the Western
Powers are risking an outbreak of
war in the Middle East and doing
so by illegal aggressive action.
The U.S. statement did reject
flally the charge in Khrushchev's
note that the United States and
Britain were guilty of aggression
in sending troops into Lebanon
and Jordan, respectively. It said
I hat a freely elected government
had asked for help and that was
the reason the troops were there.
The real "issue before th
world." the statement said, is
whether "two small nations can
maintain their independence as
against the indirect aggression to
which they are being subjected."
This issue would have been suc
cessfully mot Friday at the United
Nations the statement said, had a
solution not been "vetoed by the
sole negative vote of the Soviet
Union in the Security Council."
The United States had sought cre
ation of the United Nations force
to take over responsibility for
Lebanese security.
"The Security Council is meet

lem on Monday," the United States
said. "We hope that the Soviet
Union will then cooperate with the

ence and integrity of Lebanon.
"This would make possible th4

there merely to preserve Leban
