AN OLD FASHIONED WALK — “Walking John” Frey (left) graciously accepts a pail of Water from 10-year-old Bobby Molitor, Jr., upon his arrival in St. Cloud, Minn. Frey who has covered 8,300 miles during 383 days of walking, is presently on his way to Mtami, Fla. In Milwaukee, he plans to pick up another pair of shoes, which will probably come in handy since one of Walking John's principal rules is: Never ride when you can walk.

Judge Lemley Rejects Plea To Stay Order Rejects Request To Stoy Suspension Os School Integration LITTLE ROCK, Ark. UPD — Federal District Judge Harry J. Lemley today rejected a request by the NAACP to stay his order suspending integration until 1961 at Central High School. “The action of the plaintiffs to stay enforcement of the judgment in this action rendered by us on June 20, 1958, pending apeal therefrom, having been given due consideration by the court, is hereby denied.” He then explained: "As we understand the law, we have a discretion in this matter; and we* feel that that discretion should be exercised in denying the motion, primarily for the reason that from a practical standpoint to grant this motion and stay the enforcement of our judgment would to a large extent nullify our order in the cause, since it will in all probability take months to carry the case through the Court of Appeals and the United States Supreme Court.” The judge issued his decision after a recess of almost an hour, following arguments for the delay. Wiley Branton, a Negro attorney from Fine Bluff, Ark., urged the judge to stay his order because of the time it would take to appeal the judge’s decision. Shortly before the judge came in with his decision. Branton said he would take the motion for supersedeas to the Circuit Court at St. Louis immediately if the judge denied his motion. Arch House, the school board attorney, opposed the stay asked by the NAACP because he said they were ganted only in “extraordinary circumstances, and we see no such circumstances here.” He cited the judge’s order granting the integration susension, and said he did not think the public interest would be served if the Negro students returned next fall. Branton countered by declaring that he thought “the public interest also goes to the idea of allowing those children to remain in school.” Judge Lemley said he does not think it is in the public interest, including the interest of both the white and Negro students in the Little Rock district, to allow them to return to school. This was a reiteration of his explanation Saturday in granting the 2%-year suspension. “The situation at Central High School, which we have found to be intolerable from an educational standpoint would continue from the beginning of the approaching session to the final ruling of the Supreme Court on the merits of the case,” Judge Lemley said. Heller's Condition Remains As Serious The condition of Dick Heller, Sr., publisher of' the Decatur Daily I Democrat, remains serious at Parkview memorial hospital in Fort Wayne. Heller underwent brain surgery May 24. On June 10 he was returned to surgery as the incision was not properly healing. Since that time he has been in serious condition, under the constant supervision of nurses. For the past week the incision area has been irrigated every four hours with a strong penicillin fluid. While the condition of , the incision has improved under the new treatment, there has been no change in his general conditipn.

Stalinism Revival Brings Defiance New Defiance From Yugoslavia, Poland United Press International Soviet Russia’s revival of Stalinism brought new defiance today from Yugoslavia and Poland. World-wide demonstrations continued against the new hard line demonstrated by the execution of Hungarian “freedom premier” Imre Nagy, and there were steady indications the East-West split was depending. Hungarian refugees in New York demonstrated before headquarters of the Soviet U.N. delegation Sunday. Seven policemen and several demonstrators were inured when violence flared. Student protests were reported in Manchester, England and in Buenos Aires. Oposition political parties in India denounced the executions as murder. Attendance . droped at the Hungarian pavilion of the Brussels Worlds Fair. Communist labor leader Arthur Horner said in London he was shocked and horrified -at Nagy’s death. Authoritative reports reaching London said Polish Communist leader Wladyslaw Gomulka has sent a letter to Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev “disassociating” himself and the Polish Communist Party from the Nagy execution. The reports said Gomulka was epected to carry out a “bloodless purge” of the Polish party to remove the hard core Stalinists. There were other reports that Gomulka himself might be ousted but these appraently were disproved during the weekend. Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia was reported drafting a note to Hungray protesting the executions which Yugoslav spokesmen have denounced as a double cross. Yugoslavia had grafted Nagy asy(Contlnued on page five) Work Behind Scenes In Cyprus Dispute U. S. Is Hoping To Reach Compromise NICOSIA, Cyprus (UPD — The United States is working behind the scenes in hopes of reaching a compromise solution of the dangerous Cyprus problem, well informed sources said today. Ankara sources said American Ambassador Fletcher Warren’s frequent visits with Premier Adman Menderes in recent days were the result of a British appeal for the United States to use its considerable influence with Turkey and Greece in an effort to get them to soften outright rejections of Britain’s seven-year plan for the embattled island. Until now the United States has remained aloof from the Cyprus issue but the inreasing danger that it will result in the collapse of NATO in the eastern Mediterranean has caused deep concern in Washington. Evidence that tempers here are at an explosive pitch came Sunday night when Turkish Cypriots stoned a Greek Cypriot’s auto as it pased through a village in northwest Cyprus: The Greek escaped serious injury. But in a quick maneuver to head of more explosive outbursts Gov. Sir Hugh Foot paid a surprise of Nicosia this morning. ' Foot walked unamed through the narrow streets, talking to storekeepers and stall owners. He urged calmness and restraint. At the moment here are no signs of a compromise. The Turks, in fact, have committed themselves so irrevocably to par(Contlnued on page Hive) <»

Says Kickback Wound Up In Millis Coffer Defense Attorneys May Not Call Any Witnesses In Case United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—A former Indiana highway department supervisor testified today that a 250 “kickback” he refused from salesman Arthur J. MOgilner wound up in the Millis-for-Gover-nor campaign coffers. A few minutes later, Elmer W. Sherwood’s and William E. Sayer’s defense attorneys indicated they might rest their case this afternoon without calling a single witness because the state’s case was “so weak.” They said they would decide during lunch recess. The state has finished its case. Harold (Red) Mason, former equipment supervisor, said he rejected the payoff tendered by Mo gilner “ip appreciation for what you’ve done for me,” and told the salesman: “Mr. Mogilner, if you’ve got $250 you don’t know what in the hell to do with, go give it to the Republican Central Committee.” Mason said he learned later the money went to further the campaign of former State Auditor Frank T. Millies, who lost the 1956 Republican gubernatorial nomination to Governor Handley. Millis was the favorite candidate of former Gov. George N. Craig, in whose administration the Indiana highway scandals occurred. Craig fought Handley for the nomination. Mason implied he was offered the money because he wrote the specifications for several equipment purchase deals. Mason said they were “closed secifications” —written so only one "bidding firm could qualify. He also said he resisted signing a purchase order for some street sweepers from Seastrom & Co., Indianapolis, because some extra brooms called for in the contract were not delivered. But Mason said he signed after former highway chairman Virgil (Red) Smith "ordered me to.” Mason and four company executives testified they never knew that Sherwood and Sayer were acting as “public relations” men to help push equipment sales. Polio Vaccination To Start Thursday Mass Vaccination Is Sponsored By Moose “To help the children of this community by stamping out polio in this vicinity,” Governor Anthony Murphy of the Decatur Moose lodge, stated this morning, is the goal of the Moosesponsored mass polio vaccination, which begins Thursday, from 3 to 7 p. m. At least 70 per cent of the residents must be innoculated with the Salk polio vaccine before there is any assurance that an epidemic will not occur again; not only miist “the neighbors” or the children, be vaccinated, but at least everyone under 50, authorities say. Persons who have not taken advantage of the coupons printed here may still call the Moose home, at 3-4113, to make sure vaccine will be reserved for them. As the service is non-profit, the doses of vaccine will cost $1; those who are financially unable to get the vac--1 cine should call the Home anyway, governor Murphy emphasized; the lodge will see that these are also able to get the shots. Telephone calls will be taken at the lodge until Wednesday from 11 a. m. until midnight. The idea for the innoculation project began with information received from Mooseheart, t he national lodge headquarters, in May. After approving the idea, the lodge secured the services of local city and county health officers, nurses, and the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis at Indianapolis. Committeemen appointed to spearhead the innoculation campaign were Lester Sheets, Anthony Baker, and Dan Christen. “We have undertaken this project as a community service to help all children in the surrounding community, by helping the local doctors in the fine work they have done in battling this dread disease, but to do this, we must get across to the people, especially under 50, that they must become innoculated— now,” states governor Murphy. Citizens who will donate their services Thursday include local doctors and nurses. Anyone (Continued on page rive)

Russians Mob West Germany Embassy Today Demonstrators Hurl Rocks At Embassy In Moscow Today MOSCOW (UPD—Russian demonstrators threw rocks, broke windows and smeared the front of the West German embassy building with ink today. Several Russians were reported injured. The mob outbreak lasted more than three hours. It apparently came in reprisonal for a simlar attack by West Germans on the Soviet embassy in Bonn last Saturday. It came coincidently a day after the 17th anniversary of the Nazi German invasion of the Soviet Union in World War 11, an event that still holds bitter memories for the Russian peo.le. Several Russians were injured during the melee in which police kept the mob from entering the embassy proper. Ambulances circulated in the streets adjoining the embassy. In Saturday’s demonstration in Bonn, the West German rioters also broke windows and hurled the ink into the Soviet embassy there. The West German government apologized and promised to recti-, fy the damage in accordance with international diplomatic custom. Earlier last week, when similar demonstrations occurred at the Soviet embassy in Copenhagen, windows in the Danish embassy here were broken. Never before in the memory of observers here had demonstrators so acted in the Soviet capital. The demonstrations in Bonn and Copenhagen, as well as a demonstration at the Soviet United Nations embassy in New York Sunday, were in protest against the secret trial and execution of Hungarian freedom Premier Imre Nagy and his companions announced last week.

Auto Workers Picket Vital Missile Plant Discrimination Is Charged By Union ■ DETROIT (UPD— Picket lines Were thrown up today at Chry*er*s vital missile plant in nearfar Sterling Township by dismantled United Auto Workers members who charged they were being “discriminated against” during a no-contract period. About 600 UAW members are employed at the missile - plant where a strike was averted just two weeks ago when the company and Local 1245 agreed on a “memo of understanding.” Details of the agreement were never disclosed. Milan Matich, president of the local, said “They the company are trying to disrupt our whole union.” He charged the company was discriminaing against union members and officials. He said in some cases union members were sent home after eight hours work and non-union workers were assigned to overtime work that normally would be done by the UAW members. The missile plant employes about 9,000 workers, most of them engineers and technicians who are not union members#-, The non-union workers were reported to be ignoring the line of pickets ringing the plant. Art Hughes, administrative assistant to the head of the Chrysler department of the UAW, charged two weeks ago that Chrysler was deliberately designating many jobs at the missile plant as non-union. The plant has hired about 4,000 workers in the past eight months and Hughes said the union was getting only a smal percentage of the new employes. The company was doing this by classifying many of the workers as technicians, thus exempting them from union membership. At the present time the company makes no requirement that employes join the union during the no-contract period with the UAW. The “big three” auto makers, meanwhile, went into their fourth week of operating nearly 25 plants, employing some 450,000 workers, wltout union contracts. Reds' Headquarters 0 Stormed On Sunday Anti-Reds Protest Execution Os Nagy NEW YORK (UPD—A demonstration by 350 anti - Communists erupted into violence Sunday when they stormed the Park Avenue headquarters of the Soviet delegation to the United Nations, smashed windows, hurled “cherry bombs” and attacked police guarding the building. Seven policemen and a number of pickets were injured. Nine of the demonstrators were arrested on disorderly conduct charges. The picketing began peacefully at 2:30 p.m. with the demonstrators carrying signs protesting the recent execution of former Hungarian Premier Imre Nagy and three other leaders of the abortive 1956 Hungarian revolt. Suddenly at 4 p.m. the antiSoviet pickets tried to storm the Soviet mansion. Deputy Chief Inspector Abthony O’Connell, the police officer in charge of the 100-man detail assigned to protect the Russian offices during the demonstration, was the first man injured. He was struck with a stick that had beep used to carry a placard. The demonstrators shouted taunts at the Russians and tried to rush the front door. They hurled “cherry bombs” — firecrackers—and smashed three windows in the building. Dr. Bela Fabian, chairman of the Federation of Former Hungarian Political Prisoners, said the Russians started the disturbance when a piece of wood was thrown from a second-story window. — — Fabian said the object struck Mrs. Leslie Toth, whose husband was executed in Hungary in 1952 (Contlnuod on p®<® five)

Charges Arab Republic Wages War On Lebanon Prime Minister In Accusation Against United Republic BEIRUT, Lebanon (UPD—Lebanese Prime Minister Sami EsSolh accused the United Arab Reublic today of waging “actual war” against Lebanon and said he “does not exclude” a call for Anglo-American military intervention. Solh made the statement to UPI correspondent George Bitar while UN Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold was in Cairo for talks with President Gamal Abdel Nasser of the Egyptian-Syrian republic. Cairo reports said Hammarskjold was concentrating on reventing a clash between the United States and the UAR which has been accused of suplying rebels who seek to overthrow pro-West-ern President Camille Chamoun. Solh warned today the Lebanese situation is “deteriorating very rapidly and said he might call for American and British military assistance if the UN is not succesful in quickly halting the rebellion. Solh indicated Lebanon would ask for another session of the UN Security Council shortly after Hammarskold returns to New York. He said the “least” request would be for a UN cordon sanitaire to seal off the borders. But "things have evolved recently to shuch an extent that I do not consider there is infiltration or intervention from the UAR into Lebanon,” he said. “But there is actual war which Cairo and Damascus are waging on this tiny republic.” In Cairo, the authoritative newspaper Al Ahram reported today the UAR had protested to the United States about Secretary of State John Foster Dulles’ statements charging the UAR with interfering in the Lebanese crisis. It called this a breach of protocol between sovereign nations. Hammarskjold was epected back in Beirut either tonight or Tuesday morning. A Cairo dispatch said one subject covered by the talks was a contemlated UAR complaint to the UN Security Council protest(Continued on page five) Decatur Golf Club Looted Os $1,150 Merchandise Stolen From Decatur Club Two breakins and one theft were reported to the-t city police and the sheriff’s department over the weekend.

Bierly To Be Unopposed As Judge Nominee Decatur Attorney Is Unopposed For Appellate Judge United Press International INDIANAPOLIS UPD — Two Previously announced candidates for the Democratic U.S. senatorial nomination withdrew their names today and left a field of five to battle it out Tuesday in the party’s Indiana state convention. Juvenile-Probate Judge John S. Gonas of South Bend withdrew and got back his $2,000 convention assessment, as observers had predicted, and mystery candidate Ralph Stearley of Brazil, a retired Air Force major general, showed up and announced he would not enter the race. This left, as the 12 noon deadline passed by for filing or withdrawing, these candidates seeking „ the nomination for the seat to be vacated by Sen. William E. Jenner: Marshall Hanley, Muncie. Vance Hartke, Evansville. Marshall Kizer, Plymouth. 1 Bartel Zandstra, Highland. 1 Paul Tegart, New Albany. 5 Gonas Seeks Judgeship — Gonas refiled for Indiana Appelt late Court judge from the North- • ern Indiana district, filling a va--1 cant spot, and Amos W. Jackson, 5 Versailles, filed for a Surerpe Court nomination, filling all va--1 cant sots on the lineup of candi--1 dates. At the filing deadline, there were contests only for senator, secretary of state and treasurer of state. Unopposed candidates for auditor, school superintendent, court clerk, and five Supreme and Appellate Court seats will be nominated automatically. Kizer, a state senator from Plymouth and one bf the leading senatorial candidates, said he entered the race at the request of former Democratic National Chairman Frank McKinney and State Sen. Matthew E. Welsh. Kizer, on the eve of the Democratic state convention Tuesday added plaintively: “But now McKinney and Welsh are working for one of my opponents, Vance Hartke. I knew that National Chairman Paul M. Butler was for me and when McKinney and Welsh urged me to become a candidate, I thought I was a cinch to be nominated.” McKinney and Welsh belong to the conservative wing and Butler heads the liberal faction of the Hoosier Democratic party. Another hopeful, Marshall Hanley, reined in similar manner, saying: No Help Comes "It is accurate to say that I do not have the support of th® McKinney forces. I tnought I would receive help from them. I talked to McKinney once, but I haven’t had any help from him.” On the contrary, half a dozen of the McKinney lieutenants are battling openly for Hartke, who is sure to have the lion’s share of the 2,148 delegates on the first ballot. Fervent Hartke men have gone so far as to predict a firstballot nomination. Noon was the deadline for the payment of convention assessments and for withdrawals and recouping of the payments by candidates who decide not to go before the convention. Regarded as sure to go to the post are Hartke, Kizer, Hanley, Bartel Zandstra, and probably Floyd Circuit Court Judge Paul J. Tegart. The mystery candidate, retired Air Force Maj. Gen. Ralph , Stearley of Brazil, has not paid his $2,000 state convention assesment and probably will not do so. Also, South Bend Judge John S. Gonas, who has forked over his payment, is expected to withdraw his money, as he has at past conventions. State Chairman Charles E. Skillen predicted that all holes in the state ticket will be filled by the noon deadline. Other Hot Contests A hot contest for secretary of (Continued an Page •Mjbt)
