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.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) The
hunt for a missing Alcatraz con

mounted that he either had
drowned in tide-swept San Fran
cisco Bay or had become the first
escaped prisoner to swim to the
mainland.
Through the night, guards
combed the rocky caves of the is

them out with tear gas Domrjs,

Johnson was found shivering waist
deep in water just off shore.
Associate Warden Joseph D
Latimer said Johnson told prison
authorities he had had a plastic
bag which he tried to use as a wa
ter wing but that it got away from
him almost as soon as he started
swimming.
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

Arab Diplomats Unhappy
Over Conditional Pull-Out
UNITED NATIONS. N.Y. (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.
The U.A.R. spokesman said it
was not clear from Secretary Gen

"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.

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.

Dulles told a Washington news

The Little Rock Private School

Dr. T. J. Rancy, president of

He said a "study and survey of

U.S. Offers
Bid To Russ
WASHINGTON (AP) The
United States, chiding the Soviet
Union for resuming nuclear weap
ons tests, says it will go through
with plans for a one-year U.S. test
suspension if the Soviets will fol
low suit.
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
