200 Persons Escape . Monthly From Reds Flee Iron Curtain Despite Controls WASHINGTON (INS) - DeFpite extraordinary control measures enforced by the Soviet Union and other Communist governments ofEurope, about 200 persons a month are able to escape to the we<4 to seek help offered by the United States. jJL U. S. government officials estimate that between 16.00 J" and 17.(00 of such escapees from eastern European countries will be resettled in western Europe this year. Homes tor the others will be found in the U. S., in South America and in other countries Which are cooperating to receive European migrants. About 26,000 escapees are now ’ being cared for in U. S. camps in Germany, Austria. Italy. Greece and Trieste. Since the American program was inaugurated in 1953. 11,000 European escapees have been settled abroad, and help also has been extended to nearly 5,000 Chinese refugees concentrated at Hong Kong. Red propaganda tries to convince the people of the captive j states that they will be imprisoned and exploited in the west and eventually returned to Communist control. But there are indications that the fnct asytam is offered to political refugees In western countries is becoming more and more widespread behind the Iron Curtain. The Voice of America and Radio Free Europe have playe* important roles i«. making eastern Kyropeans aware of the American escape program as a symbol of asylum and assistance which the Soviets make every effort to hide. The result is the large number of escapees under American care in western Europe awaiting resettlement. In a report to congress on the present status of American efforts to help the escapees, Laurence A. Dawson, who directs the government’s assistance program, emphasised the extreme measures taken by the Soviets to thwarfescapes and their vehement demands that the U. S. government abandon the policy of welcoming and caring for the escapees.

Internal security controls exerted by the Communists to prevent escape vary* depending on the proximity of the border. Restricted tones up to five miles wide have been established along most of the western frontier of the Soviet orbit. Dawson said, and unauthorized entry into these zones brings arrest and charges of attempted escape. “Guards are instructed to shoot on sight anyone seen in this area. The border is usually marked by a series of barbed, wire barriers, often electrically charged.

NATIONALIST AIR < Continued From Pace One* nist shipping and gun emplacements. The air force communique said that planes hit in addition to Amoy the nearby mainland points of Chihmei, Weitou. and Cape Chenhai, and also flew "cover” for the navy. The communique glowingly reported that Genera] Wang Shunting. Nationalist air commander, personally dispatched pilots on their bombing strikes and added that "air force morale has hit an all-time high and mauy units are asking for a part in the war.” The air-sea attacks according to Nationalist sources apparently all but silenced Red shore guns which first fired on tiny Nationalist-held Quemoy Island last Friday. The Nationalists said that the Communists fired only one shell in the direction of Quemoy today. The Quemoy guns first opened up six days ago in reply to bombardment by shore-based Red artillery. The Nationalists threw planes and warships into the fight on Monday. : A Tuesday night Nationalist communique said at least 106 Communist ships were destroyed in air attacks. The Red ships included 100 “military" junks, five motorised vessels and one gunboat. Junks such as those reported destroyed have been massed in the Amoy area on the coast of Fuk'.en province presumably for use in any Communist invasion attempt against the Nationalist athmghold of Formosa. Communist radio Peiping admitted, that Nationalist planes raided si* points along the Fukien coast Tuesday and claimed that Red an-ti-aircraft fire destroyed three of the attacking planes and damaged 20 others over Amoy. Nationalist sources denied this claim. The Red radio* also said that eight persons were killed in air raids at Amoy and four others killed at- the nearby town of Shihkengtsun.

Dewey Refuses To Seek Fourth Term Thomas Dewey Bows Out As Candidate NEW YORK (INS) — New York Gov. Thomas E. Dewey's flat refusal to run for a term projected U.S. Sea. Irving M. Ives into the spotlight today as the almost certain Republican nominee. Dewey’s announcement that “1 shall not under any circumstances be a candidate for any public office this fall' brought dismay to GOP leadets as they gathered for a strategy meeting In New York City. Observers believed plans would be laid at an afternoon session of the party's state committee to place Ives’ name as Dewey's successor before the GOP state convention in Syracuse on Sept. 22-23. The 52-year-old Dewey, in a televised and rebroadcast address, made no mention of a possible heir to his post but later told newsmen Ives would make “an excellent governor.” Ives Is a member of the liberal wing of the Republican party and an expert on labor and industrial problems. He received a record plurality for the state in winning re-election to the senate in 1952 and generally is liked by labor. Republican leaders, nevertheless, saw Dewey’s decision as changing this fall’s gubernatorial race from a “sure thing” to a “horse race" despite Ives’ apparent widespread popularity jtmong voters of both parties. They were concerned lest the GOP lose control of the nation’s most populous state in November thereby setting in motion a trend which might affect adversely the party’s chances in the 1956 pres-, idential election.

Westinghouse Co. Plans For Strike Last-Minute Peace Parley Continues PITTSBURGH (INS) — Westinghouse. Electric Corp, today began strike preparations in 26 plants throughout the nation while lastminute peace tdlks continued in Pittsburgh. In telegrams to plant officials in 20 cities, the company said it neither wants nor fears a walkout and said that if a strike comes it will be the fault of the CIO International Union of Electrical Workers. _ The wires outlined to plant officials the procedures to be followed in case a strike conies off as scheduled at midnight Friday. Almost simultaneously, the union was distributing to Westinghouse workers handbills blaming the company for the deadlock in negotiations. It charged a company letter to employes dealing with strike issues was filled with halftruths and outright lies. Meanwhile, there were unconJBrmed reports that, workert «t Westinghouse's giant East Pittsburgh works were circulating a petition demanding a new strike vote before any walkout begins.

Westinghouse has offered a wage boost of 3-and-a-half-to-7-cents an hour, averaging five cents hourly. [ The union has not made public its pay demands, but it is known the CIO-IUE wants an across-the-bogrd increase.

Protest Charges On Sewer Lateral Groups Appear At Council Meeting Nearly thirty Decatur residents tilled the city council chambers Tuesday night to discus’* two new sewers, placing stop signs in the Stratton, Place addition, and dump* Ing of unauthorized material at the city dump. * (present asked that the round defer until the next meeting consideration. of rates‘on the Porter and Sauer laterals of the Porter Homewood sewer. Most members of the groups hod been previously tied in on another sewer, and they felt that the charge of SBS was unfair to them, since they would not be directly benefited. Mayor John Doan explained that several person* living in the seme area had complained about water in their basements from the old sewer, and that the new tie-ins were mode in an effort to give better service to the area. Most at the persons complaining either had no basements in their homes, or had homes on ground high enough not to be iMxthered by high water. The council decided to defer their decision on the charges until the next meeting, and Mayor Doan aeked one of the group’s leadens to circulate a pett ion. in his area to find out who favored and w’ho opposed, the new tie-ins. A small group also appeared and a«ke< questions concerning the .Harpidi Rynend sewer, but left satisfied Chat the charges were fair.

Gail Grabill, resident of the Stratton Place Association, Lyle Mallonee. and James Hunter appeared before the council and asked that stop signs be placed at the two exits from Stratton B> Into Stratton A. The Stratton B area has not yet been built up, and youngsters are using the area as a speedway, the group said. They ashed that the sign’s be placed to slow down traffic before it enters the settled area, where many children play near the streets. The council instructed city attorney Robert S. Anderson to draw up an amendment to the city stop sign ordinance and present it at the next meeting. The ordinance must then be advertised before becoming law. since it Will carry a punitive provision for violation. Floyd Hunter appeared before the council and noted that the council had requested the Centra) Soy* company not to dump soy bean waste at the city dump, a c the burning and emouldering of the bean dust causes a stench to settle over that area of town. The couricil directed the city attorney to write the Soya company a letter and inform them that beans are again being burned at the dump. John E. Brown appeared before the council ant aieked that the council take action to see that he was reimbur-ed for damage done to his yard and' property during the construction of a sewer near hie home. The council asked the city attorney to write the contractor a letter, stating that the cootracor would be liable for be damage done. The salary of the city clerktreasurer was raised S2OO a year tor taking care of the city parking meter funds.
