Mao Resigns As President Os Red China Resignation Viewed As No Downgrading Os Leader's Power WASHINGTON (UPD — U.S. officials said todaythat Mao Tsetung’s resignation as president of Red China probably means he wants more time for his drive to force China’s 650 million inhabitants into tightly regimented ag-ricultural-industrial communes. There was no immediate official State Department comment. But Mao’s resignation was not interpreted here as any sign of a downgrading of the dedicated 65-year-old leader whc has been the chief architect cf the Chinese Communist revolution. Officials said his resignation from the presidency has little significance, since under the Communist system the presidency is principally honorary and ceremonial. They said Mao apparently remains the undisputed boss of Red China, since he is keeping the post as chairman of the Communist Party's Central Committee—the top power job. rcials said the change probwould signal intensification of Red China’s new drive to complete the commune system, which American authorities describe as a “slave state" based upon unprecedented regimentation of the people under forced labor. Officials said that they did not expect Mao's resignation as president to have any effect whatsoever on Red China’s foreign policy. That policy still will be under his complete control and based upon unalterable opposition to the United States, they said. American officials said they believe Mao and his colleagues have passed the point of no return in their campaign to whip China's millions into a system which Secretary of State John Foster Dullas has described as a program of “slave labor that sacrifices human dignity on a scale unprecedented in all world history.” Dulles added, however, that the commune drive “is producing material results.” American officials are convinced that the drama now being unfolded in China marks a great milestone in Communist history. Success for Mao's experiment could mean the beginning of a new and harsher era for millions. Failure could signal the beginning of the end for Communism everywhere.

U.S. Defense Secretary Is NATO Speaker Says Achievements Os Organization Bear Future Hope PARIS (UPD — U.S. Defense Secretary Neil McElroy said today the achievements of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization during the past 10 years “give hope for the future and for further progress.” McElroy was one of several Western defense ministers who spoke at a top-secret NATO council session aimed at revitalizing the alliance's atomic and rocket defenses against the new Communist offensive against Berlin. The session was devoted mainly to a review of comparative Western and Communist bloc military strength. Details of the reports delivered by the West’s military leaders were not made public. McElroy’s remark was the only part of his speech released. Informed sources said, however, the council heard that the Soviet bloc has more than six million men under arms in Europe, including ground torces of 4,500,000. The sources said NATO believed the existing nuclegr deterrent was powerful enough to rule out danger of a war over Berlin but that Russia would continue to probe the free world’s defenses. The subject of American missile bases in Europe was one of the major topics under discussion today, both in the council meeting and in private diplomatic conversations. Another was a drive to build NATO strength to 30 divisions from the current 23. French Foreign Minister Maurice Couve de Murville called on Secretary of State John Foster Dulles for 45 minutes before today's session, probably in connection with French doubts about establishing U.S. missiles in France. Though divided on some issues, the NATO ministers were united in their stand on Berlin, determined to resist the Soviet demands the West leave Berlin. Tuesday night the council faced up to Russia with a strongly worded declaration reaffirming the West’s unconditional rejection of the Soviet ultimatum to get out of Berlin. It warned Russia that it will be held responsible for any actions endangering communications with the isolated city and proclaiming that the West would meet with determination the dangerous crisis Moscow has created over Berlin. It was a strongly worded but not a militant statement and followed assurances by Secretary of State John Foster Dulles that the Soviets would not risk war over Continued on pag» five Search Waters For Victims Os Crash TAMPA, Fla. (UPD—The Coast Guard searched the waters of Tampa Bay today for the bodies of crew members aboard a lowflying 847 jet bomber that crashed and exploded late Tuesday. Four persons were aboard the six-jet medium bomber. One body was recovered about an hour after the plane went down with one wing ablaze. Recommend Seat Be Denied Alford Pending Probe Os Write-in Victory WASHINGTON (UPD — The House Elections Committee voted today to recommend that the House refuse to seat segregationist Dale Alford pending a thorough investigation of his write-in victory over Rep. Brooks Hays (D-Ark.) The 3-2 vote, disclosed unofficially after a closed committee session, was to be announced formally this afternoon. The committee was understood to have voted unanimously in another case not to interfere in the “Coya, come home” defeat .of Rep. Coya Knutson (D-Minn.). The committee’s action in the Alford case raised a possibility that the Little Rock congressional district may be without a congressman for some time after the 86th Congress convenes Jan. 7. It also raised at least a theoretical possibility that Hays, narrowly defeated by Alford in a lastminute write-in campaign, could eventually be declared by the House to have won the election.

Thor Missiles Fired Al Two Bases Tuesday First Successful Launching Tuesday At California Base VANDENBERG AFB, Calif. (UPD — A double - barrelled launching of Thor missiles at this giant new missile base and at Cape Canaveral, Fla., has paved the way fcr the first launching in the project discoverer program before the end of the year, missile sources indicated today. At the same time, it was expected that the first flight test of the Titan ballistic missile, slated as the eventual successor to the Atlas intercontinental ballistic missile, would be conducted before the end of this year at Cape Canaveral. Thus, the Air Force entered a program of military and scientific missile-space launchings on both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. These developments followed Tuesday’s first successful Air Force firing of the Thor intermediate range ballistic missile at this new Air Force missile base on the Pacific Ocean. The launch? ing inaugurated ballistic missile firings on the West Coast. Another 50-ton Thor was fired from Cape Canaveral four hours later. The Canaveral Thor was aimed at an impact are in the Atlantic about 1,700 miles southeast of the Cape. It was the 22nd Thor fired from the base. The Thor firing at Vanderberg gave the *free world its first long range operational ballistic missile, Maj. Gen. David Wade, commander of the First Strategic Air Command (SAC) Missile Division, stated. He said that the missile was now considered operational although the free world’s first operational Thor base was yet to be announced in England. This announcement was expected shortly, possibly in January, sources said. Tuesday’s Thor launching here was notable because it was the first by a strictly military crew. No Road Building For Adams County County Excluded From 1959 Plans Adams county will receive no part of the record-breaking $156,289,290 Indiana state highway construction program in 1959, according to figures released this morning by Gov. Harold W. Handley. The 20-page report outlines how state and federal expenditures will be made in 1959. There will be 31 projects in Allen county, none in Adams, Wells, or Jay counties.

About $92 million is collected annually in Indiana by the federal government for highway purposes. It is collected as federal gasoline, oil, tires, parts and new car taxes. Federal funds are allocated to the state government, and must be matched. * Federal contributions will pay for 90% of the 1959 expenditure of $89,748,000 on new interstate highways in Indiana. The U. S .will allocate 50% of the cost of the $19,930,800 for primary highways, $13,146,300 for secondary highways, and $30,783,300 for urban highways.

Prolonged Cold Is Snapped By Balmy Weather Nation Midsection Overspread Today By Balmy Weather United Press International Comparatively balmy weather overspread the nation’s midsection today, snapping a prolonged cold wave by lifting temperatures above the freezing mark for the first time in nearly two weeks. However, the chilly grip of winter maintained a stubborn grip on the Southeast during the night, and a new snowstorm, powered by arctic blasts, raced across the northern plains into the upper Great Lakes.

Many Os Dead Panic Victims ' In Big Store 200 Others Injured, 50 Os Whom Are Reported Critical BOGOTA, Colombia (UPI) — A fire which started in a Christmas nativity display swept through the crowded Veda department store Tuesday night in one of the worst holiday tragedies in Bogota’s history. At least 98 persons died in the flames and smoke—many of them trampled and smothered in the panic that followed the first dreaded cry of “fire.” An estimated 200 others were injured, of whom about 50 were near death , today. The fire started at 5:25 p.m. while the store was crowded with shoppers, most of them women and children. A fire department official said the blaze was caused by a short circuit in the colored lights of the nativity display in the center of the ground floor. The flames, fed by paper and straw in the simulated manger of the Christ Child, leaped to nearby counters piled high with inflammable plastic toys and gifts. In a matter of seconds, the flames raced across the ground floor, trapping scores of persons in the windowless, doorless rear portion of the building. Dense smoke quickly filled the store. Firemerf*reached the scene only 2Ms minutes after the alarm was sounded. But by then the Whole front of the store was aflame.
