Eisenhower Calls For North Atlantic Pact Nations Stand Firm

PARIS (UPI) — President Eisenhower assured the Western Allies today there are no “second place’’ nations in NATO. He called on the 15 members of the North Atlantic Alliance to stand firm behind their collective principles in the interest of world peace. Ibe President said that if the Allies support NATO as staunchly as their individual countries “than there will be no war — than there will be peace.” The President made a 'Sudden, unscheduled visit to NATO headquarters before beginning top seret talks with French President Charles de Gaulle in an effort to heal their glaring differences before Eisenhower meets with Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev. Eisenhower told the ministers that he went before them with no new proposals but merely in gratitude and praise for the work ot the permanent council. “The United States seeks no position in NATO except that of an equal partner ready to work with all member nations regardless of their size,” said Eisenhower. NATO: “A Matter as Spirit” “No nation in its spirit and in the moral force that it can exert within this organization need take a second place. “NATO is a matter ot spirit, of determination to work as partners and to preserve those ideals that we all cherish. “If we are firm among ourselves, if ve refuse to retreat one inch from principle, if we remain flexible as far as tactics ~*** involved, if we give to NATO the same patriotic deep devotion that we give to each of our nations, then there will be n war—then there will be. peace.” NATO Secretary General PaulHenri Speak thanked Eisenhower for his appearance and remarked, “we have complete trust in you.” Spaak and NATO Chairman Joseph Luns conferred with Eisenhower at the U. S. Embassy this morning and at that time the President asked to address the Permanent Council which was assembling for a special meeting. The three drove together to NATO headquarters. Changes Plans Original plans had called for Luns, Spaak and Secretary of State Christian A. Herter to report to-the smaller members of NATO on Eis&hower’s “peace is possible" crusade in Europe. Spaak told newsmen that at his and Luns’ private meeting with Eisenhower “everything went well." - The NATO foreign ministers scheduled to debate today and

Substitute To Bill Rejected

WASHINGTON (UPD—An irate House Appropriations Committee refused to concede defeat today in the fight with President Eisenhower over the public works appropriations bill. Despite the fact an Eisenhower veto of a previous bill was upheld Wednesday, the committee rejected a substitute tailored to meet his objections. The rejection came on a 19-19 tie vote. Defeated was a bill which would have eliminated 67 new projects which prompted Eisenhower to veto the first measure. The committee then voted, 23-19, to have a subcommittee begin drafting a new bill. The vetoed measure would have appropriated $1,206,748,548 for public works such as rivers and harbors projects.

Hoover Says Crime Increase Shocking WASHINGTON (UPD—FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover lashed out today at Americans who stand idle while criminals turn parts of the nation into a “no man’s land” of violence. Hoover, writing in the FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin, described as “shocking” the 9.3 per cent increase in crime last year. He noted it was the highest rate in the recorded history of U.S. crime. The FBI chief said the report showed that some areas are a veritable “no man’s land” where crime is ever lurking. He reprimanded citizens who have a “detached attitude towards crime.” NsOrn'lnnM “This country’s citizens,” Hoover wrote, “must awaken to the fact that the war on. crime is not just the battle of he law enforcemen officer. “Every citizen has a stake when hoodlums prowl the streets brazenly committing atrocities which appall even veteran police officers. No one is immune from the attacks of depraved murderers, robbers, sex offenders and kidnappers.” Hoover said the police officers are a “small patrol” when compared with the “army at law breakers roaming America.” Lonely Battle “Often the law enforcement officer’s battle is a lonely one," he added, “and too frequently the citizens who should be his allies are Indifferent and apathetic.”

—-■■ —— iNew Youth Outbreak In New York City

NEW YORK (UPI) — An 18-year-old youth was stabbed and seriously wounded and three companions were beaten in an unprovoked attack by a teen-age gang on a Brooklyn streetcorner Wednesday. It was New York's third outbreak of youth violence in 11 days. Gov. Nelson A, Rockefeller and Mayor Robert F. Wagner planned separate conferences today to deal with the problem. The wounded youth, Dominick Scudiere, told police he was talking with three friends when a band of about 15 youths believed to be Puerto Ricans and members of a gang called the Majesties approached and asked if they were members of either of two gangs. ' Stab Victim Hospitalised Scudiere and his friends said they were not but one of the

Auto Passes School Bus, Boy Injured ROCHESTER, Ind. (UPD — Larry Rudd. 9. Rochester, was struck by an auto while stepping off a school bus Monday. The accident occurred on Ind. 25, about five miles south of Rochester. The bus was stopped, its lights blinking and its stop sign out, when the boy left the bus and crossed in front to the opposite side of ttie highway. A car driven south by Phillip Moses, 43, South Bend, passed the bus and hit the boy. The boy was treated for shock and bruised legs at Woodlawn hospital, Rochester. Moses was charged with passing a school bus while unloading and was. fined S2O plus $17.75 in court costs. The driver of the bus was Ira Baker, 58, Rochester.

band, believed to be the leader, said; “You took care of our boys and now we’re going to take care of you.” The attackers then set upn the quartet, stabbed Scudiere in the left side, beat the other three, and fled. Scudiere, who was scheduled to enter the Air Force this fall, was taken to a hospital. The attack occurred in a neighborhood unaffected by a recent shift of 1,400 policemen to areas plagued by teen gang violence. It came only three days after two teen - age boys were wantonly stabbed to death in a plaground off Times Square and 10 days after a 15-year-old girl was shot to death and a teen-age boy fatlly stbbed in an outbreak of juvenile gang warfare in the lower Est Side of Manhattan. Accused Being Held The accused slayers — three Puerto Ricans—are being held by police, two on first degree murder charges and the third on a homicide charge. Police saturation of neighborhoods with a high incidence of teen-age violence, ordered Monday by Police Commissioner Stephen Kennedy, has curbed gang warfare somewhat but tension was still high in many sections of the city. Wagner, alarmed over the recent outbreak of teen violence, said Wednesday the city would add 1,080 policemen to the force to help combat juvenile crime even if it meant diverting funds from other city services. The additional policemen would bring the department to its quota of 24,508.

Score Executive Secrecy

WASHINGTON (UPD — House investigators today accused the executive branch of the government of spreading a cloak of “bureaucratic secrecy” over federal agencies which spend billions of dollars of public funds.

The reprt included documents, exhibits and correspondence compiled by the subcommittee, headed by Rep. John E. Moss (DCalif.l, detailing 35 investigations into complaints of government secrecy. • ' . . -h 'I-:-;

Under a heading entitled “In Secrecy We Trust,” the report • said: “Continued withholding of information and official reports...solely because knowledge might create controversy or affect the sensibilities of federal employes will inevitably destroy the very ke- • kestone of American govern- \ ment—that principle that the o-p erations of government must endure the crucible of public debate.” Chairman William L. Dawson (D-Ill.) of the full government op- • erations committee said “the report documents a record showing the administration is hiding the facts which the American people need to know about their government”

Defy Orders By Frondizi

BUENOS AIRES (UPI) — Argentina’s “rebel” generals hurled a new challenge at President Arturo Frondizi’s government today, rejecting its dismissal of Gen. Carlos S. Toranzo Monter as emmander of the army. The Cordoba garrison apd the anti-aircraft academy in me Mar del Plata had proclimed their open defince of the government order, and a “great majority” of the nation’s other garrisons were reprted siding with Toranzo. Gen. Pedro S. Castineiras, chosen by the government to replace Toranzo, said he had no idea how soon he would be able to assume command. Heavily-reinforced guards stood watch at army barracks in the Buenos Aires area, and troops were reported confined to barracks. Unofficial sources said similm* precautions had been ordered at garrisons throughout the country. Fourteen generals who announced their opposition to Toranz’s dismissal in telegrams to the provincial garrisons were reprted under arrest Wednesday night as a prelude to possible court martial. The Cordoba garrison, cradle of the revolution that overthrew President Juan D. Peron in 1955, was the first sizeable military organization to reject Toranzo’s dismissal. Col. Horacio Zanarruza, the Cordoba commander, denounced the "unjustified removal” of Tranz. He declared that the troops under his command would obey only the orders of the deposed general* War Secretary Elbi C. Anaya relieved Toranzo of command Wednesday, apparently because of reports that the army commander planned to dismiss a number of subordinate generals without consulting him.

4-H Members Attend Stale Fair Saturday Three busloads of Adams county 4-H’ers will go to the state fair Saturday, designated 4-H day at the fair. ♦ Thousands of 4-H club members from over the state will throng onto the fairgrounds to see the exhibits in the 4-H projects.

The dairy bus will leave from the extension office at Decatur at 7 a. m.; Coppess Comer at 7:10 a. m., and the Berne school comer at 7:15 a.m. Dairy committee members will also accompany the group. NO PAPER MONDAY The Decatur Daily Democrat will not publish an edition Monday, Sept. 7, because of the Labor Day holiday. |

Investigations covered in the report included Defense Department refusal to release information about use of monkeys in space research, the Bureau of Prisons’ denial of access to studies of conditions in local jails for fear of controversy, the Army’s refusal to give Wisconsin private citizen Sylvester Krolinkowski information of government payments to Milwaukee physician Dr. Irvin Cowan for taking X-rays of draftees—and other investigations. The report also contended that there is no legal basis for the so - called “executive privilege” doctrine under which some congressional committees have been denied access by executive agencies to certain advisory documents.

Three Packing Firms, Unions Sign Contracts United Press International The threat of a major strike in the meat packing industry eased Wednesday when three big packinghouse firms signed contracts with two unions. Elsewhere on the nation’s labor scene, a strike at the Cape Canaveral missile base ended and contract talks in the slass and aluminum industries wdre recessed. Steel negotiators met but would not comment on whether any progress was made. The United Packinghouse Workers of America and the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen unions reached tentative agreement in Chicago with John Morrell and Co., Hygrade Food Products Corp, and Cudahy Packing Co. The temporary settlements followed the pattern established earlier this week by Armour and Co. which agreed to a 15-cent hourly wage increase over the next two years. Talks continued today with Swift and Co., giant of the industry with 19,000 workers, Wilson and Co., and Oscar Mayer and Co. The two unions balked at a wage increase proposal by Swift. They said Jhe company refused to grant all its workers the 15cent Armour increase. Swift asked for a recess until after labor day to develop new proposals but the unions demanded a meeting today. The Operating Engineers Union settled a wage dispute with a private contractor at Cape Canaveral Wednesday, ending three - day strike that tied up construction projects at the vital missile test cener. Negotiations in Pittsburgh between the American Flint Glass Workers and 36 glass container companies were recessed Wednesday until Sept. 9. The union’s contract covering 2,000 moldmakers expired Monday but was extended on a day-to-day basis. A recess until Sept. 15 was announced by negotiators for the United Steelworkers and the Aluminum Company of America. The USW contract expired in July but was extended until at least 30 days after settlement of the steel srike. Equal Time Law Is Passed By Congress WASHINGTON (UPD — The Senate today passed by voice vote and sent to the White House a bill exempting news programs from the requirement that equal time be granted to political candidates. The measure drafted by SenateHouse conferees, was approved by the House Wednesday, 142-70. No dissenting Senate votes were heard. Approval came, however, only after brief but lively debate in which several senators expressed concern over the exemption provided for regularly scheduled news panel shows like “Meet the Press’ (NBC) and ’’Face the Nation*’ (CBS). Sen. Clair Engle (DCalif.) said his concern over the news panel shows grows out of his own political experience and the kind of treatment he said newspapers have given to Democratic candidates. He called radio and TV “the last refuge’’ for campaigning Democrats. Engle said he did not want to see broadcasters and telecasters free to “give us the business the way the newspapers of the nation have.” President Eisen howre has termed the present law ridiculous. The Federal Communications Commission has interpreted the present law to mean that radio and TV stations must grant political candidates equal time when their rivals are featured on any type of program, including spot news. In drafting the bill, the conferees drafted a report making clear that the bill would apply to such news panel shows as “Meet the Press, “Face the Nation” and “college News Conference.”
