Long Battle
Still Rages
In Louisiana
BATON, ROUGE, La. (AP -
Louisiana officials were at logger
heads Saturday as to who was the
state's chief executive since Gov
Earl Long indicated he may be
plotting another court battle to
free himself from court - ordered
treatment in a mental hospital.
Lt. Gov. Lether Frazar, a .friend
of the 63-vear-old ailinff ffnvernnr
said he wants legal advice before
formally taking over as acting
governor. Secretary of Stati Wade
Martin Jr.. a political enemy of
Long, said he would continue to
recognize Long as governor. He
challenged Frazar's right to take
over without formal certification
of Long's inability to act.
"Governor Long has been irre
sponsible for some time but there
has been no legal declaration of
that,", Martin said.
Long called for legal counsel
from his lonely ward at the South
east Louisiana Hospital at Mande
ville, 54 miles to the east of this
capital city where he and his
brother, .the late Huey P. Long
began thriving on peppery politics
in the 1920s.
State police and sheriff's dep
uties overpowered the cursing,
fighting governor Thursday night
and rushed him to Mandeville. A
physician and a psychiatrist said
he suffered from paranoiac schizo
phreniadelusions of persecution.
Long had just skipped out on an
agreement for voluntary treat
ment in New Orleans. The agree
ment had nullified a Texas court
fight by effecting his Wednesday
release from a Galveston psy
chiatric clinic. He had been held
in the clinic 19 days by court
order. v
Martin said he would challenge
Frazar in court if the 54-year-old
former president of McNeese
State College attempted to act as
governor.
Frazar said he would not shirk
his duty if an emergency devel
ops. But he wants legal advice
before formally taking over. .
"Until then I will continue po
kies, and carry them out, of my
dose friend,' Earl K. Long," Fraz
ar said.
Atty. Gen. .lack Gremillion said
Frazar rou'.d take over. Martin dis
agreed, saying the court order
that sent Long to Mandeville did
not declare the governor's inabil
ity to act. Long himself or some
official body, Martin said, first
must certify Long's inability.
Frazar named Gremillion as one
af his attorneys. i.
Martin was ousted by Long in
l.-)5S. as state insurance commis
sioner and custodian of voting ma
chines. Since then the two have
been bitter enemies.

Brown Lauds
Legislature
As 'Finest' .
SACRAMENTO (AP) The
California Legislature has ended
what Gov. Edmund Brown
luted as the finest and most
productive session in state his
tory. '' What was also the longest ses
sion came to a close at midnight
Friday to the pop' of firecrack
era with defeat for Brown's labor
reform bill. He laid part of the
blame on Vice President Richard
Nixon.
But the new Democratic gover
nor, noting success for 90 per cent
of his program, didn't kick about
the overall accomplishments in
his freshman year.
Backed by the first Democratic
majority in both houses since
1889, the Brown administration
compiled an impressive record in
the lfifi days of lawmaking.
Brown got through a billion
dollar water plan, 220 million in
nw taxes, increased jobless bene
fits, higher pensions for blind and
aged, repeal of ballot cross-filing,
the state's fair employment prac
tices act.
The chief executive couldn't
quite make it on his bill designed
to curb corrupt union practices.
The Assembly battled over the

hours. The vole shifted no less
than 24 times as Brown's aides
and C. J. Haggerty, veteran exec
utive of the .California Labor Fed
eration, applied pressure (or and
against the bill.
A coalition of. pro-labor Demo
crats and minority Republicans
finally killed the measure, 50-29
by sending It back to committee.
Nineteen of the House's 47 Dem
ocrats voted against the bill
eight switching to the CLF's side
after the outcome was apparent.

Foreign Ministers
Recess Conference;
(Deadlock (Unbroken
Br JOHN M. HK'.IITOWKR
GENEVA (AP) - The Big Four
foreign ministers Saturday re
cessed their conference until July
13 without breaking the East-West
deadlock on Berlin.
Western officials forecast a new
Soviet drive for the summit fol
lowing the failure of the talks.
They said Soviet Premier Khrush
chev is trying to frighten the
resicrn powers into a summit
conference instead of offering con
cessions on Berlin as a lure to the
West.
U.S. Secretary of Stale Christian
A. Herter and other Western dip
lomats are reported to have de
cided two weeks ago that this was
Khrushchev's strategy. Western
interest in breaking off the nego
tiations here dates from that time.
The West came to Geneva be
lieving it held one trump rard
Khrushchev's desire for a summit
meeting.
In Herter's view, the foreign
ministers' conference took a bad
turn about two weeks ago when
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei A.
Gromyko proposed a one - year
timealimit on Western occupation
of West Berlin. The West de
nounced this as a Soviet ultima
tum. The negotiating line followed
here by Gromyko is regarded by
the Western leaders as having
borne out their estimate of
Snow Slide
Sweeps Five
Into Crevasse
T1MBERLINE LODGE, Ore
(AP) An avalanche swept five
persons, three of them Boy Couts.
into a crevasse near the summit
of snow-capped, 11,245-foot Mt.
Hood Saturday.
All five were pulled from the
crevasse after they were ' dug
free by rescuers. They were bur
ied by the slide, above the 10,500
foot level of the peak some SO
miles east of Portland, Ore.
Sheldon Elwood of the U.S. For
est Service said one of the boys,
Don Draper, Vancouver, Wash..
was not responding to artificial
respiration and a rcsuscitator was
being air dropped by t Civil Air
Patrol plane.
Elwood identified the other two
scouts as Tom JlcCune, who he
saia suiterea snocs. ana dim noi
ling, both of Vancouver. He did
now know their ages. '
He said the two men, who
joined the scouts on the mountain
side, are Ed Smith, Oregon City,
Ore., and Don Berzer, Cornelius,
Ore.
All except Draper were brought
down to Timberline Lodge, then
taken to hospitals in the Portland
area to he examined. They were
reported "reasonably all right."
"Berzer was on one end or the
other and he saw the avalanche
coming, anchored himself with an
ice axe, and waited until he
thought it was past," Elwood said.
"A second wave came and
swept them loose from their perch
and Into the crevasse," he said.
He said they fell 2 feet.
Bud Martin, manager of the
Timberline Lodge ski resort, said
the crevasse was in the chute
above Crater Rock, an outcrop

It has been three years since
the last serious accident on the

Khrushchev's strategy. They think
probably means the Soviet
Premier considers the Western
position weak and feels he doesn't
have to bargain away anything to
get a summit conference.
One reason for such a conclu
sion would be the obvious split in
the Western camp between Presi-
li-nt Eisenhower and British

Mother Tells
About Recue
Of Daughter
ATLANTA (AP) - "I was pray
ing that I could stop him and I
did."
That's what an attractive sub
urban Hapeville mother told police
Friday after she deliberately
crashed her small sedan into an
other car and rescued her 7-year
old daughter from a would-be ab
ductor.
Mrs. R. E. Carroll told detec
tives she could see her daughter,
Sally, fighting to get out the
window.
'I could see my baby and that's
all I could see," she said. "He
started off fast and I rammed him
as hsrd as I could."
Detectives identified the youth
from papers found in his wallet
as Raymond A. McMahon, 17, of
Chicago. They said he came to
live with his grandmother for two
months.
The detectives said he fled on
foot after the collision. Blood
hounds were put on his trail but
he was not (ound. The Georgia
Stale Patrol and authorities in
neighboring states were alerted in
the belief he might be heading
for Chicago.
Detectives gave this account:
Sally and her sister, Susie, t.
weis visiting a friend when a car
pulled up and a youth asked the
girls:
'How about pushing this button
and helping me start the car?"
Sally walked over and the youth
grabbed her. He yanked her
screaming into the car and sped
away. Susie ran shouting for her
mother.
Mrs. Carroll obtained a descrip
tion of the car, told the neighbor
ts call police, jumped Into her
on small sedan and went in
search of her' daughter.
She said she spotted the car
parked about a mile away and "1
could see the girl fighting to get
out of the window."

along, that failure here makes

necessary.

gotiations here. Western authori
ties insisted that Herter, British
Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd
and French Foreign Minister
J'auriee Couve de Murville had
gien away nothing of substance
to the Russians.
They did not want to re
main here any longer and watch
the Russians try to whittle down
the Western position on Berlin
without offering any concessions
of their own.
The Western decision to break
off the negotiatior . was made
firm Friday after Gromyko in
troduced new compromise pro
posals for a Berlin settlement,
Herter. Lloyd and Couve de Mur
ville docided that in spite of some
revised language, the Soviet pro
posal was just as unacceptable
as the earlier one.
In their view, Khrushchev and
Gromyko had not changed their
insistence on forcing the Western
powers out of Berlin and this was
the crucial issue.

conference was held Saturday
morning1. The five-minute meeting

Strauss Vote
Jolts Office
Top Command
WASHINGTON (AP) t The his.
torie Senate vote of no confidence
in Lewis L. Strauss has given a
new jolt to a Commerce Depart.
ment high command already be
set by uncertainty.
The 49-44 Senate vote rejecting .
Strauss as secretary af commerce
came as the secretary's office
faced a prospect of personnel cuts
by Congress.
High officials said SI employes
out of a total of about 300 in the
secretary's office have bees put
on notice that their jobs may . be
abolished on June 30. These no
tices went out after the House
voted to cut S440.0O0 from the $2,-
940,000 Presideat Eisenhower
asked for running the office.
Earlier this week the Senate Ap
propriations Committee voted te
restore $260,000 but the question la
still up in the air; but even so,
some 25 employes would have ta
be fired.
There was speculation that with
Strauss on bis way out the House
might now be willing to provide
more salary money. But it was un
likely the amount finally voted
would exceed the Senate figure.
Many Senators felt thst Major
ity Leader Lyndon B. Johnson (D
Tex) furnished the vital momen
tum that brought rejection of
Strauss' appointment.
Johnson had kept his position oa
Strauss a secret until the final
hours of the months-long nomina
tion battle. Then, Senate partici
pants said, he went all out to Una
up the vote against him.
Some of Johnson's colleagues
professed to see in this what
amounted to an exchange of
Strauss' political scslp for less
Democratic opposition to John
son's policy of trimming spending
bills to avoid presidential vetoes.
They said that Johnson slse
demonstrsted to Democratic liber

with them on what they regarded
as a vitsl Issue, and also that ha
