Nuclear weapons note:
The Geneva conference on polic
ing a nuclear ban has recommend
ed the use of earth satellites in
the detection of sneak nuclear ex
plosions. The satellites would be
equipped with special instruments
to study radio and light waves.
This method is the FIFTH de
tection method recommended at
the conference, which is partici
pated in by scientists of many
nations, including Russia and the
U.S. The other methods included
air waves, earth shock waves and
atomic fall-out.
What is it all about?
Well, the peoples of all the earth
are uneasy about nuclear weapons.
They fear not only the actual mili
tary use of atomic and hydrogen
bombs. They fear the consequences
of the TESTING of these weapons,
which release dangerous radia
tions. There Is strong pressure from
all over the world for a BAN on
further testing.
But-
Suppose we stop nuclear weapons
tests. Suppose the British stop nu
clear tests. Suppose the French,
who claim to be near the first
explosion of an atom bomb, agree
to forego further tests. Suppose
Russia agrees to the ban.
That leaves the world in this
tituation:
The British could be trusted to
keep their word if they signed
such an agreement. The French
could undoubtedly be trusted. We
know we could be trusted to keep
such a solemn agreement if we
signed it.
But what of Russia?
Russia's record for keeping her
word isn t very good.
So .
The SCIENTISTS went to work
on the problem. The problem was
to devise tests so delicate and so
accurate that if some nation
BROKE ITS SOLEMN WORD and
went on with sneak testing of nu
clear weapons all the other na
tions that had signed the agree
ment to ban nuclear tests would
KNOW ABOUT IT IMMEDIATE
LY and could take whatever steps
were necessary under the circum
stances. That is the sum and substance of
the deliberations of the scientists
at Geneva.
What next needs to be done?
It stacks up about like this:
The scientists seem to have done
their part. They say there are
ways by which sneak tests of nu
clear weapons cnukt be detected.
The PEOPLE of the world are
ready to follow wise, sound, HON
EST leadership in the direction of
a possible agreement to ban nu
clear testing. If the RULERS OF
NATIONS including the despots
who rule Russia will ALL provide
the kind of leadership that is need
ed we might have a world in the
future that would be good for
'people to live in.
Never before was there such a
challenge to LEADERS.
ILVU Okays
New Contract
SAN FRANCISCO (UPl) -West
Coast longshoremen have ap
proved a new contract calling for
a wage increase of 10 cents an
hour and cutting the work shift
from nine to eight hours.
The agreement between the In
ternational Longshoremen's and
Warehousemen's Union and the
Pacific Maritime Association is
retroactive to June 16. The con
tract was negotiated July 3.
The ILWU said that voting
among 18.000 longshoremen and
clerks approved both ends of a
split ballot. The shift reduction
was separated from the rest of
the contract, which included a 10-
cent hourly raise for longshoremen
and 11 cents for clerks.
Although the shift reduction was
approved in the coastwide tally,
San Francisco Local 10 opposed it
by a 420-vote margin while favor
ing the rest of the agreement.
In Seattle, the reduced hours
were approved by a vote of 903
to 3fi7 and in Portland by a vote
of 555 to 401, Seattle dockworkers
approved the rest of the contract
891 to 3K1 and Portland dockwork
ers by a vote of 595 to 364.

New Soviet
For Denouncement By Ike
WASHINGTON (AP) Presi
dent Eisenhower is reported set
to denounce Soviet Premier Khru
shchev's new proposal for a quick
Middle East summit conference
outside the United Nations.
Eisenhower is understood to be
ready to reaffirm his willingness
to attend a summit parley but
only within the 11-member U. N.
Security Council in New York.
Barring a sudden Soviet flip-
flop, Khrushchev's angrily word
ed letter appeared virtually to
kill chances for any emergency
heads-of-government meeting in
the near future on the Middle
East crisis.
Officials assailed Khrushchev's
message lo Eisenhower as vi
cious and insulting. The harsh
tone, they said, was clearly that
of a man more interested in mak
ing propaganda than in meeting
calmly with Eisenhower.
Eisenhower will most certainly,
they said, reject as unacceptable
Khrushchev's bid for immediate
five-power talks in Moscow or any
other European city.
Some authorities felt Eisenhow
er should counter Khrushchev's
blast by announcing he will show
up for a high-level Security Coun
cil meeting, whether, or not the
Soviet leader shows up.
Solons Urge
Ike To Stick
By Demands
'VASHINGTON (AP) Three
senators urged the Eisenhower ad
ministration today to stick to its
demand that any over-all Middle
East settlement be attempted only
through the United Nations.
The three, all members of the
Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee, are Senators Mike Mansfield
iD-Mont), Hubert Humphrey (D
Minn) and Homer Capehart (R
Ind). They expressed the opinion in
separate interviews it would be a
mistake to agree to the five-power
conference outside the U.I-., as
suggested by Soviet Premier
Khrushchev.
However, Mansfield, a U.N. delegate-nominee,
said the United
States should go part of the way
by agreeing to a Security Council
meeting in Geneva.
Khrushchev, noting that French
Premier Charles de Gaulle has
urged a meeting in Europe away
from the publicity glare of the
U.N. said he was ready to meet
in Moscow, Geneva, Vienna, Paris
or any other place.
Mansfield said the U.N. Secur
ity Council could meet in Geneva
"in the cool and detached atmos
phere that De Gaulle desires and
that I think is needed.
This would be away from the
glare of publicity in New York
and it would not involve the secur
ity problems that might be en
countered on any visit of Khrush
chev there."
But Mansfield said he is against
agreeing to Khrushchev's proposal
for a conference of the United
States. Britain. France, the So
viet Union and India outside of
U.N. auspices.
Humphrey, a former U.N. dele
gate, said Khrushchev had "laid
himself wide open" by proposing
conterence ot this nature,
'We ought to get busy telling
the smaller nations that what
Khrushchev wants to do is to have
five big nations sit down and
carve up the world," hesaid. "We
should stick to our demand that
the Security Council set the rules
for any summit meeting, with the
smaller nations participating in
that action.
Humphrey said he believes the
meeting ought to be held in New
York but would raise no objec
lions if a decision were made to
transfer it to Paris or Geneva
Capehart said the matter of a
Middle East settlement "belongs
in the Security Council and if the
Russians are unwilling to go there
we should tell them there will be
no meeting outside."

The army said the American
came here three months ago and
was not in the party that landed,
presumably from Florida, near
the town of St. Marc, 45 miles
northwest of this capital.
The army identilied three ex
officers among the rebel dead in
the barracks and said they all
had been living in exile in Miami.
They were Alix Pasquet, former
palace guard captain: Philippe

army, and Henri Perpignand, ex
captain and former aide to Ma

Proposal Set
They recalled that the Soviet
Union threatened to boycott the
current Geneva technical talks on
disarmament, but changed its
mind when American officials
went to the meeting despite last- j
minute Soviet objections. 1
The White House foreshadowed
Eisenhower's attitude when it an
nounced that there was no change
in the President s proposal for
keeping the meeting within the
U.N. despite Khrushchev s newest
blast.
Renewed backing for that stand
came from three members of the
Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee, Senators Mike Mansfield ID-
Mont), Hubert Humphrey (D
Minn) and Homer Capehart (R
Indi. But Mansfield suggested that a
Security Council meeting could be
held in Geneva in a move to ac
cept part of Khrushchev's sugges
tion. The initial White House reaction
came from reading news accounts
reporting the text of Khrushchev's
letter as broadcast by Radio Mos
cow. The full text of Khrushchev's
message still had not been re
ceived by the State Department
last night.
Moscow's move in swiftly pub
licizing Khrushchev's words was
viewed as added proof that he
was mainly interested in maxi
mum propaganda advantage rath
er than anticipating any American
acceptance of his idea.
One of Khrushchev's accusations
that was likely lo bring a sharply
worded retort from Eisenhower
was his comment that Eisenhow
er was not working for a settle
ment of the military conflict .
in me interests of preserving
peace but seeking to expand
Middle East conflicts "with the
threat of world catastrophe."
These Khrushchev remarks were
looked upon as nol only personally
offensive but as stepping up the
Soviet campaign to convince the
world that Anglo-American troop
landings in Jordan and Lebanon
pose an immediate war threat.
Most officials said Khrushchev's
move in rejecting a summit meet
ing within the Security Council re
flected a fear that Eisenhower in
tended to counterattack Soviet ac
cusations by blaming the Soviet
Union for fomenting Mideast ten
sion.

Ferry Fleet
Ends Tonight
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) - The
historic ferry fleet that once car
ried 40 million passengers a year
across San Francisco Bay will be
no more after tonight.
The last of the ferry boats, the
aging San Leandro, makes her
last round trip between the San
Francisco Ferry Building and the
Oakland Mole at 11:30 p.m. Then
she will head for retirement. -
Last year only the San Fran
cisco-Oakland ferry service was in
operation of the dozen or more
lines that used to ply the bay. It
carried 610.000 passengers, most
of - them Southern Pacific and
Western Pacific train passengers.
The SP received permission
from the slate lo discontinue the
expensive operation. Both rail
roads from Wednesday on will
transport their train passenger!
across the Bay Bridge by bus.
A capacity crowd of 1,400 was
expected aboard the San Leandro
tonight for her farewell trip. On
the Oakland side, she will pick
up a few rail passengers from
SP's incoming Shasta Daylight
and return to San Francisco.
The San Leandro will then go
deadhead back to Oakland Mole.
The man who designed the San
Leandro paid her a farewell visit
Monday. He was John B. Matt
hews, 70, Oakland.
"She's just as good now as she
was when I built her in 1923,"
Matthews said proudly. "Her tur
bines and generators are in won
derlul condition. And she's econo
mical to run. . . .
"I remember when she wal
finished down in San Pedro," he
mused. "She was the lirst turbo
electric ferryboat in the world.
"I never thought I'd see the day
when there were no more ferry
boats, not even one."
