CCi? U 0? LI33ARI EUaSHE, ORE. 0 J la Tbe- Day's News By FRANK JENKINS From Washington: Qualified informants believe the state department will restrict the flow of foreign policy information to the public. A stir over releasing information began with a published report that most of the department's current mail opposes the administration stand on the Formosa crisis. I doubt if restricting the flow of foreign policy information to the public is the right way to go about it. A better way would be a for eign policy that the people of the United States will understand, wiil accept and will be willing to sup port "with their lives, their for tunes and their sacred honor" to use the inspiring language of the Declaration of Independence. We haven't had such a foreign policy since the Monroe Doctrine. V The current ruckus over how much to tell the people arises out of the Formosa situation. The rea son the mail is 80 per cent against what we appear to have in mind to do in the case of Formosa is that our people are at least per cent against what we would be letting ourselves in for if we stand pat on what seems to be our de termination to GO TO WAR unless the Red Chinese quit shooting at the little nationalist-held islands that lie within cannon range of the lied Chinese mainland. To the bulk of our people, that just doesn't make sense. So they have taken their pens in hand to tell their government they are AGAINST it. That, it seems to me, is what the people should do. . It is interesting to note that as the people have made plain what they think about this situation that they don't like, the government ap pears to be coming around to a milder position that the people will support. But enough of war and rumors of war. Let's turn to less serious subjects. International Society (note the capital S) "hooped" it up at New York's Astor hotel last night. The hoops were passed out to SOCIAL ITES at the climax of a ball that netted $25,000 for the New York Herald Tribune's' fresh air' fund for under-privileged children. Hmmmmmm. That raises an interesting ques tion in these modern and highly practical days. What is a Socialite? It may interest you to know that Webster s Intercollegiate Diction ary doesn't include the word. Why? 1 suppose it is because the In tercollcgiate is a condensed and practical dictionary that defines only words that are of interest to busy and practical people, bo wny in the century of the common man, include such words as "Social ite?" Turning to the Webster Un abridged, we find this definition: "A person prominent in high so ciety; especially one who is en tered in the Social Register." The Unabridged defines Social Register as "a book containing the names of socially prominent people. It is at least interesting and it mav be significant that in this modern age Socialites are not above such things as getting in side a plastic jigger that has come to be known as a Hula Hoop and wiggling their hips in such a man ner as to make the hoop spin around and around. In the bad old days, about all Socialites could find to do was to walk around in fancy clothes with their noses held disdainfully high. Maybe we're making progress to ward a better world. r CftoCWt UttPSCTION TOUR was set today for California Oregon Power Company Jft whe were visiting the Big Bend project on the Klamath River.

Latimer said another prisoner, whom he did not name, told him Burgett also may have had such a bag, which he could blow up with air and use to keep afloat on the long, chilly grind of more than a mile to the San Francisco shore across an ebb tide which was running out the Golden Gate at nearly 10 miles an hour.

(AP) Arab diplomats balked today over conditional U.S.-British prom ises lor pulling their troops out ol Lebanon and Jordan. A spokesman for the United Arab Republic made clear that, if the troops don't leave quickly President Nasser's government will toss the matter before the General Assembly. This echoed a warning delivered to the Assembly earlier by the Su dan that, unless a clear-cut troop withdrawal announcement is made, it will ask for a full-scale debate.

"This is a major question which keeps the'Middle East in unrest," he declared. The eight-nalion Arab League, meeting in Cairo today, was ex pected to go over the Hammar skjold report and map out a course of action. In his report, Hammarskjold said Lebanon and the United States hoped to see complete withdrawal of U.S. forces by the end of October, if the security sit uation continues to improve. He said Britain and Jordan hoped to announce a decision to begin withdrawal in October and that the pullout will be completed quickly as the situation permits. Britain has made clear she wants the U.A.R. blockade of oil supplies and plane transport into Jordan lifted before she be gins withdrawal. Both the United States and Bri tain also have indicated they want a halt in propaganda broadcasts in the troubled area. These have largely been directed against Jor dan's King Hussein. Nasser is reported to have told Hammarskjold he would not con sider any such demands until the troops get out. On the Far f.ast front, India s V. K. Krishna Menon hailed Sec retary of Stale Dulles' proposal to trim Nationalist military strength in the offshore isles as an ex pression of the desire of the people to deal with the problem without war." Menon, who has been trying to work out a Formosa compromise, disapproved, however, of Dulles' remark that there might be an up rising on the Communist main land. "It may lead public opinion to think the United states was inter ested in fomenting such similar uprising in China, Menon said. Norway's Foreign Minister Hal yard Lunee proposed to the As sembly Tuesday night that the U.N. intervene in Formosa if the Warsaw talks between the United States and Red China break down. Nationalists Surprised TAIPEI, Formosa (AP) - U.S. and Nationalists Chinese officials here expressed surprise today at remarks by Secretary of State Dulles suggesting a possible shift in U.S. China policy. Dulles told a Washington news conference Tuesday it might be a good thing to reduce the National ist forces on the offshore islands if a dependable cease-fire could be worked out with the Chinese Reds. Diplomatic sources said the statement caught the U.S. Embas sy unprepared, and went beyond information given by the United States to the Taipei government. Both Chinese and U.S. officials expressed the belief privately that Dulles wss trying to quiet epposi- tiea to his policy uv btcome miisr i ii ' Is I t eoeftrcs Back High Court, Eisenhower Asks WASHINGTON (AP)-President Eisenhower today called on all Americans to comply with the Su preme Court's school integration rulings lest there be "grave con sequences" to the nation. Eisenhower sounded the call to both public officials and pri vate citizens alike at a news con ference. He was asked whether, in the light of the court's decisions, Ar kansas and Virginia should reopen LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) The Little Rock Private School Corp. appealed today for public contributions, In money and buildings, to operate the high schools as private, segregated institutions. Dr. T. J. Rancy, president of the corporation, announced the new plan at a news conference. He said a "study and survey of buildings and facilities" already is under way, Rnney said the new plan Is contingent on the ruling, scheduled Monday, of the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Ap peals. "If the court enjoins our use of the high school buildings, leased from the Little Rock School District, we will immed iately begin school In other quarters," Raney said. Rancy named President Elsen hower as one of those who Is "leading our nation to destruc tion." their closed schools on an inte grated basis without being forced into it by the federal government. Eisenhower had anticipated such questions. He pulled out a prepared statement and read it. 'The Supreme Court, in its opinion rendered Monday, once again has spoken with unanimity on the matter of equality of op portunity for education in the na tion s public schools. It is encum bent upon all Americans, public officials and private citizens alike, to recognize their duty ot com plying with the rulings of the highest court in the land. Any other course, as l have said be fore! would be fraught with grave consequences to our nation," it said.

The State Department issued that announcement Tuesday night a short time after the Atomic En ergy Commission reported the So viet Union had terminated its much-heralded but short-lived test suspension with at least two new blasts. The department described the Soviet tests as confirmation of U.S. suspicions that the Soviet test suspension announcement last March 31 was just propaganda It was suspected at the time that the Soviet announcement was primarily a propaganda exercise and that there was no real inten tion to suspend testing," the de partment said. This now seems to be confirmed by the event." The AEC announcement of the new Soviet tests backed up re ports earlier in the day from Tok yo that blast waves from the direction of the Soviet Union had been detected. Two detonations were detect ed." the AEC said. "Both took place north of the Arctic Circle and were of moderate to nigh yield. In announcing the united Mates hopes to adhere to its own sus pension plans, the State Depart ment noted that talks initiated by this country are scheduled to be gin in Geneva Oct. 31 on means of reaching agreement on policing a worldwide test suspension. Declaring it expects the talks to begin on schedule, the department said: "Unless the Soviet Union holds further tests after negotia tions have begun, the United States remains prepared to with hold further testing of atomic and hydrogen weapons for a period of one year from the beginning of the negotiations on Oct. 31. The United States still is con ducting a series of atomic tests at its Nevada Proving Grounds, but these are expected to end before Oct. 31.

Cease Fire Opportunity Seen By Ike WASHINGTON (AP)-Presidcnt Eisenhower declared today that if the United States could get cease fire in the Quemoy-Matsu area an opportunity would be op ened up to negotiate in good faith for a Formosa settlement. Eisenhower told a news confer ence that the Nationalist-held is lands of Qucmoy and Matsu, near the Communist mainland, are not vital to the defense of Formosa. But he said he did not know whether demilitarizing those is lands would offer a solution on which everybody could agree. A few hours before Eisenhower discussed the situation, President Chiang Kai-shek on Formosa took sharp Issue with statements by Secretary of State Dulles at a news conference Tuesday. Chiang declared emphatically that he has no intention of weakening the de fenses of Quemoy and Matsu. Dulles said the large Nationalist forces on the offshore islands should be cut back if there was a cease-fire and he also said that he sees no prospect of Chiang re turning to the China mainland, leading an anti-Communist libera tion force unless there is a rev olution against the Reds first. Chiang expressed incredulity at some of Dulles remarks. Chiang gave his views to The Associated Press in an exclusive Interview in Formosa. Elsenhower declined several times to be drawn into a discus sion of precise detail, or to project specifically U.S. policy. But the basic issue, he declared, is to avoid a retreat in the face of force. Tn what Dulles said Tuesday, Eisenhower maintained, (here was no appeasement offered to the Communists. But, he stressed, the United States docs want a peace ful solution. It was in this con nection that he declared Quemoy and Matsu are not vital to For mosa.
