RECALL U. S. LEGATE: HAITI — Jules Blanchet, (left) Haitian Minister of State without portfolio, tells reporters in New York that his government will demand the recall of American Ambassador Gerald A. Drew (right), on 'the grounds that he “went too far io our internal affairs.” Meanwhile, relations between the Haitian government and the U. S. became more tense when armed forces loyal to President Duvalier crushed a revolution against his nine-month-old government, in which ten persons, including two Americans, were killed.

Nation About To Embark On Space Program Eisenhower Signs Bill Establishing New Space Agency WASHINGTON (UPD-The United States is about to embark on a new civilian-directed program for the conquest of outer space. President Eisenhower signed into law Tuesday a bill establishing a new space agency to supervise the peaceful efforts. His signature created a new National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The President said in a special statement the measure was an “historic step” pledged to "peaceful purposes for the benefit of all mankind.” It was expected the President would ask Congress for about 300 milion dollars to finance the new agency, . J \ May Head Agency Dr. Hugh L. Dryden, head of the National Advisory Committee sos Aeronautics, estimated NASA would be a functioning unit within two to three months. NASA will supercede Dryden’s 38-year-old committee. Diere was speculation Dryden might become the $22,500-a-year administrator of the new agency. The law charges the administrator with planning, directing and conducting aeronautical and space activities. But it also gives the Department of Defense clear jurisdiction over “activities peculiar to or primarily associated with the development of weapons systems, military operations or the defense of the United States,” including research necessary to make effective provision for the defense of the United States. Seta Up Special Council Dryden said funds would be asked from Congress for these major purposes: • —.“Manned space,” which will ''be termed "technology of manned space vehicles.” This may be a small part of the program at first, but it is expected to grow into the agency's principal preoccupation. —“Space science,” including instrumented artificial earth satellites for scientific purposes, and the development of larger boosters, such as rocket engines with millions of pounds of thrust. —lmproved electronics to advance space technology, communications and meteorology. The new agency director will sit on an all-powerful “National Aeronautics and Space Council” headed by Eisenhower and including the secretaries of state and defense, the chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission and four other presidential appointees, only one of whom can be from the government.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ADAMS COUNT*

Gov. Faubus Winner By Huge Majority Majority Largest In State History LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (UpD— Gov. Orval E. Faubufe today credited the sending of federal troops to Little Rock in the integration crisis for a vote that gave him a third term by the biggest majority in Arkansas history. Almost complete returns from Tuesday’s Democratic primary gave him 69.5 per cent of the vote. The rest was almost evenly divided between his opponents, Little Rock meat packer Chris Finkbeiner, 37, and Judge Lee Ward, 52, of Paragould. Unofficial returns to United Press International from 2,217 of the state’s 2.332 precincts gave Faubus 244,225 votes, Finkbeiner 54,284 and Ward 52,340. “*nje voting was a condemnation by the people of illegal federal intervention in the affairs of the state and the horrifying use of federal bayonets in the streets of an American city and in the hals of a public school,” Faubus, 48, said in a victory statement. Would Do It Again He ment President Eisenhower’s sending of 1,000 troops of the 101st Airborne Division to Little Rock last September to protect nine Negroes who enrolled in Cen» tral High School. Faubus previously had used two companies of the National Guard to keep Negroes out, on the ground that integration of Central would provoke bloody violence. Mrs. L. C. Bates, president of die Arkansas chapter of the NAACP, declined to comment on Faubus’ victory. She led the fight to get the Negroes into the school. itself was not an election issue, since Ward and Finkbeiner were against it. The issue was what to do if a school were faced with integration. Faubus said he’d call out the National Guard afcain if he thought it necessary. Ward and Finkbeiner said they would never use the state militia to defy the government. Seta A Pattern Harry S. Ashmore, Pulitzer Prize-winning executive editor of the Arkansas Gazette, read into Faubus’ victory a powerful stimulant to integration resistance throughout the South. He won the Pulitzer Prize for a series of editorials last fall contending that the issue was not the right or wrong of segregation but defiance of the federal government. “The governor’s course of re sistance has been overwhelmingly endorsed,” he said. “It (Faubus’ victory) has set the pattern for other Southern politicians.” He said it will cut the ground out from under moderate Southern politicians.

United States Forces Tighten Security Hold Forces In Lebanon Tighten Security Measures Today BEIRUT, Lebanon (UPD—U.S. forces in Lebanon tightened security measures today on the eve of scheduled parliamentary elections for a new Lebanese president. There was some doubt that the elections would be held. The cabinet of Premier Sami Solh threatened Tuesday to boycott the elections until the Lebanese army cleans the rebels out of Beirut. Opposition forces demanded that President Camile Chamoun and U.S. forces pull out beforeanyelection. Two Marine helicopters made several sweeps over the port area occupied by Marine forces early today obviously taking a close look at the rooftops stretching from the port to the rebel-held Basta area a few blocks away. Marines in Battle Gear A bodyguard of armed airborne troops and Lebanese gendarmes were assigned to escort Maj. Gen. Paul Adams, American ground forces commander, on his rounds. A jeep with a 50-caliber machinegun rides "shotgun” on the general's car. A number of Marine vehicles were seen moving through the streets this morning with Marines in battlegear riding guard. Solh summoned his cabinet into session to decide whether to go through with the threatened boycott of the presidential elections. The boycott could torpedo the presidential elections scheduled in Parliament Thursday. It also would rule out hopes for an early end to the crisis and withdrawal of U.S. forces. See Chamoun-Solh Conflict The cabinet, angered by a rebel assassination attempt on Solh Tuesday, decided by unanimous vote to boycott—and thus, in effect to prevent—the elections until the rebel-held areas pt Beirut were cleared out. The decision appeared to have brought Solh and President Camill Chamoun into conflict for the first time since the crisis exploded nearly three months ago. Solh announced the cabinet decision after a mid-day meeting with his cabinet. But the cabinet was called into session again Tuesday night and Solh said a "final review” of the decision would be made this morning. Informed diplomatic sources said Chamoun after acquiescing in the earlier cabinet decision had changed his mind, apparently as the result of American advice. They said Chamoun promised U.S. State Department troubleshooter Robert Murphy that the elections would proceed as scheduled Thursday and that he would support Gen. Fuad Chehab, if the army chief of staff decided to run. There were these other dvlopments: Birut: Nine more U.N. observFuelling Champ Os Horse, Pony Project Named Grand Champ Os Fair Division Max Fuelling was named grand champion of the 4-H saddle horse and pony project held Tuesday at the 4-H fair, Monroe.

Ike To Call For Top Level Summit Meeting Under United Nations

Defense Bill Nears Senate Passage Today Huge Defense Money Bill Provides Over 40 Billion Dollars WASHINGTON (UPD— The Senate hoped to pass by tonight a huge defense money bill calling for more than 40 billion dollars—about one bilion dollars more than President Eisenhower thought necessary for military needs. As drafted by the Senate Appriatnons Committee the bill totaled $40,032,811,000, some sl,623,250,000 larger than the version passed by the House. With the House scheduled to meet on a routine packers and stockyards act, most other congressional activity of interest centered in committee. Committee action assumed special importance as Congress moved toward possible adjournment by the middle of August. The House Labor Committee virtually slammed the door on any broad labor reform bill this year despite earlier overwhelming Senate approval. Chairman Graham A. Barden (D-N.C.) said no House hearings were in prospect for the bill, which was designed to crack down on labor racketeering and promote democratic union practices. He cited the approaching adjournment as reason for the decision. Sen. Barry Goldwater (R-Ariz.) promptly accused House Speaker Sam Rayburn of killing the Sen-ate-passed legislation by holding the bill on his desk for 41 days. The measure passed the Senate, 88-1. Other congressional news: Humane Slaughter: The Senate passed, 72-9, a bill previously approved by the House in slightly different form to require humane slaughter of meat animals. The measure now goes back to the House. The bill would require cattle, calves and other meat animals to be killed by a “single blow or gunshot” or by “electrical, chemical or other means that is rapid and effective.” Education: The House gave final congressional approval and sent to the White House a bill that would provide 210 million dollars in federal aid to schools overcrowded with children of federal workers and servicemen. The bill would make the aid program permanent.

Rebellion In Haiti Is Crushed By Army Report Haiti Quiet As Revolt Smashed PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti (UPD —Haiti was reported quiet early today under a 12-hour curfew imposed in the wake of Tuesday’s abortive attempt to overthrow President Francois Duvalier. Strict censorship, reinforced by drmed guards at the overseas telephone exchange, veiled details of the situation, but there were no immdiate reports of new violence. ‘ Th curfew order, restricting ] movement in this island republic < between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m., was i accompanied by censorship of 1 both the local press and outgoing i news dispatches. 1 Authorities here had not yet sue- 1 ceeded in getting positive identification of two men, believed to < be Americans, who were killed ! With the ring-leaders of the revolt ‘ tn the fight for the Dessalines Barjacks. One of the dead was identified ' tentatively as Arthur Payne, 33, a J former sheriff’s detective from, Miami. The other was believed to < be a former U. S. air attache here, J but his name was not determined. In Miami, Dade County Safety ,J Director Thomas Kelley said Payne was one of six former j sheriff's deputies involved in the ( rebel plot. All six either were , fifed, or had resigned, although only two of them were believed to have taken an active part in the uprising. Kelly said Payne and another detective, Dany Jones, 28, had been hired to ferry two Haitian refugees—Philippe Dominque and Henri Perpignan, leaders of the revolt —back to their homeland by boat. Dominique, Perpignan and a third rebel leader, ex-Capt. Alix Pasquft, were killed in the nine(Contlnued on page five) 4-H Entertainment Presented Tuesday Winners Announced For 4-H Festival About a thousand seated persons, flanked by several rows standing spectators saw the Washington township Happy Hustlers club, with a pantomime of a bumpy bus ride, win first prize in the non-musical division, and the Wabash township Cloverblossom club win first in the musical division with their story of Oscar the tramp in the 4-H division of the Adams county entertainment festival Tuesday evening.

U.S., Baghdad Pact Partners In Agreement Agree On Revamped ; Middle East Policy During Conference By JOSEPH W. GRIGG United Press International LONDON (UPD—The United States and her Baghdad Pact partners are in broad agreement ' on a revamped Middle East pol- ' icy, including neutralization of ’ Lebanon and probable ultimate ’ recognition of the new Iraqi regime, authoritative sources said 1 today. The outlines of the policy * emerged during the two-day ses- ■ sion of the “northern tier” alliance council which ended here Tuesday. It was attended by the prime ’ ministers and foreign ministers of 1 Britain, Turkey, Iran and Pakis- ! tan. Secretary of State John Fos- J ter Dulles represented the United 1 States at the opening meeting 1 Monday. American Ambassador John Hay Whitney sat in Tuesday. n f 'Die new revolutionary regime of 1 Iraq, the fifth full member of the 1 alliance, did not send a repre- ' sentative. Aid For Jordan The main points of the “newlook” policy were: —Recognition of a “special” neutral status for Lebanon under United Nations aegis and its removal from the forces of proNasser Arab nationalism. —Withdrawal of U.S. troops from Lebanon as soon as the situation there is stabilized. This would be done in agreement with Britain which would not be left “holding the bag” in Jordan. —A “wait-and-see” attitude toward Iraq, leading probably to eventual recognition of the new regime. Although the other members have more or less written off Iraq as a member of the alliance, they will take no action to exclude the possibility it will stay in. —Military and economic aid to Jordan to shore up King ’ Hussein’s shaky regime. The U.S. and her partners fear a resumption of war between the Arabs and Israel if Hussein's government disintegrates. ► •U.S. Will Cooperate —“Concerted action" by all member states to combat by “all legitimate means” the menace of “indirect aggression,” subversive (Continuec. on page five) County 4-H Fair To End Thursday Night Dress Revue Tops As Closing Event “Around the World in Eighty Days” is the theme for the dress revue for the 4-H clothing workers to be held at 7:30 o’clock, Thursday evening, climaxing the Adams county 4-H fair at Monroe.

Charge Russia With Fomenting Revolt, Unrest Challenges Russian Boss To Showdown Summit Meeting WASHINGTON (UPD — President Eisenhower is challenging Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev to a showdown summit meeting in mid-August and the United States plans to charge the Russians with fomenting rebellion and unrest throughout the Middle East. A presidential note to Khrushchev, to be dispatched shortly, will call for the top-level meeting to be held Within the United Nations Security Council — although not necessarily in New York—between Aug. 10 and 15, high officials said. They added that if Khrushchev accepts the challenge, the United States does not intend to appear as a “defendant” accused of “aggression” in Lebanon but will take the offensive and expose a pattern of Russian and united Arab subversion throughout the oil-rich area. The President was reported willing to hold the U.N. summit meeting in any city decided upon by the Security Council except Moscow. This was interpreted as a conciliatory gesture to French Premier Charles de Gaulle who has said he prefers a European site to New York. Lawmakers Pleased The British were reported preparing a similar note to Khrushchev as the Western powers moved to nail the Russian leader down on whether he really wants a top-level discussion of the turbulence in the Middle East. Democrats in Congress who have been pressing the administration to agree to a summit meeting hailed the news the West will propose a mid-August date. Assistant Snate Democratic leader Mike Mansfield said, “I’m glad we're laying it on the line.” “I would hope we would follow up a firm date with a firm program of questions to be discussed at the conference,” he satd. ’Td also hope we would take an affirmative position in presenting our views.” The brief Eisenhower note, in reply to a long propaganda-laden blast Monday from Khrushchev, will emphatically reject the Soviet leader’s renewed suggestion for a summit meeting outside the UN. American officials characterized Khrushchev’s reversion to this proposal, after he had agreed last week to a meeting within the U.N. framework, as an effort to return to big-power diplomacy and bypass the world organization. Evolved By Dulles Officials said Eisenhower will insist the Security Council make final decisions on time, place and participants for the' mid-August summit meeting but will suggest that permanent representatives at the U.N. headquarters probably could arrange to set it up not later than Aug. 15. The American decision to send Khrushchev a brief and tonepoint challenge was based upon strategy evolved by Secretary of State John Foster Dullus to give the Russian leader his choice of two courses: 1. Accept a summit meeting under strict Security Council procedure. This would make it impossible for Khrushchev to bring charges against the West without also having a full airing of what U.S. officials consider a planned Russian and united Arab campaign of terror, subversion and indirect aggression through the Middle East. 2. Reject the specific challenge (Continued on pa-xe five) INDIANA WEATHER Mostly cloudy with scattered showers and thunderstorms tonight. Partly cloudy Thursday with showers ending in early morning.
