Says Khrushchev Benefited By Visit BLOOMINGTON, Ind. /UPD— Madame Pandit, the sister of Indian Prime Minister Nehru, said Wednesday night that President Eisenhower’s invitation to Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev and his proposed trip to Russia are. important moves toward peace. “What is needed is for people to be exposed to each other,” she told an Indiana University audience. “I am sure that Mr. Khrushchev benefited by being exposed to the American people. “The same will be true of Mr. Eisenhower when he goes to Russia,” she said. Madame Pandit, who is India’s high commissioner in London, said American prestige climbed in the eyes of the world because of the President’s invitation to Khrushchev to come to the United States. There can be no peace in the world until the United States and Russia can get together, she said. She said she believed that a summit meeting would come when “the climate is right.” “Every meeting between peoples that brings better understanding is important and this will build up layer by layer toward a summit meeting,” she said. Tolerance is one of the world’s great needs and must between nations as well as between individuals, she said. “Both sides have to giv> 3 little.” she explained. Madame Pandit said tolerance is not a yielding of but an understanding of differences. Referring to India’s horded dispute with China, she said it was important that Chinese troops first be moved out of the area so there could be talks to iron out disputed rights.

Held For Violating Immigration Laws BLOOMINGTON, md. (UPD—A , former Indiana University student from Thailand, who lived as a virtual recluse during more than i a year of self-teaching after he i flunked out of school, was held today for violating immigration laws. Pravit Nujnetra, 26, a junior 1 majoring in accounting at the time he was dropped as a student for failing to pass some of his courses, was held for possible de--1 portation on grounds that his student's visa became invalid when he stopped attending classes. Nujnetra continued to receive checks from the Thailand government covering his living expenses, . tuition and fees at the university , despite the fact he was dropped as a student last January. He re- ■ ceived the payments on a "loan arranged with .his government before he left for the States. Living with a friend in a rooming house the past JO months, Nujnetra secluded himself in his quarters most of the time but read textbooks and brushed up on his English. Monroe County authorities took custory of Nujnetra Wednesday to await instructions from the U. S. i Immigration Service. Later, Nujnetra was taken to Chicago for a deportation hearing. Leo R. Dowling, university dean of students, said Nujnetra had not attended classes on the Bloomington campus since the summer of 1958. He said the university ‘‘notified the Thailand embassy and U. S. immigration authorities at that time.” Nujnetra said he wrote the immigration service asking for an extension of his visa. He said he received a reply notifying him to appear in Chicago for a conference. But he said he lost the letter and did not appear. Vote Irregularities Charged At Gary CROWN POINT, Ind. (UPD— Prosecutor Floyd Vance today filed charges against three women, accusing them of irregularities at the Gary municipal primary last May in connection with a race for a ctiy council nomination. »■ Vance filed charges of illegally altering a vote against Mrs. COr-* ena A. Barksdale, a Democratic ' precinct committee woman who ’ was a polls watcher during the * primary, and Mrs. Juanita Ander- ■ son, a juvenile court probation * officer who served as Democratic * judge of the precinct election board. Vance also filed a charge of I consenting to a vote alteration 5 against Mrs. Geraldine Robinson, ’ also a Democrat, who was inspeC- ’ tor of the election board in the 1 82nd precinct. ' The charges were based on re- ■ suits of a recount in a Democratic 1 nomination race between Councilman Benjamin Wilson and Cleo ’ Wesson. The original count show- ' ed Wilson defeated Wesson by 74 ' votes. Wesson asked for a recount ! and 'the recount gave him the nomination by 129 votes. ; The recount showed that Wilson ■ was creditedwith 129 votes in the 82nd precinct, whereas he received only 94.

Baghdad Under Tight Control After Shooting BEIRUT <UPD — The tense Iraqi capital city of Baghdad was reported under tight military control today following an attempt to kill Premier Abdel Karim Kassem. Kassem, shot three times Wednesday by a gunman identified only as a “wicked hand,” left his bed to assure a crowd that he was alive. He issued repeated calls for national calmness. Baghdad Radio said today his condition “is as good as could be expecred.” Military Governor General Ahmed Salah Abdi clamped a 9 p.m. to 5 n.m. curfew on the ancient capital city. Throughout Iraq strict bans were placed on street crowds and demonstrations. Kassem spoke to the crowd from his balcony at the Defense Ministry Wednesday to assure them the gunman had failed. The shooting was the first known attempt on Kassem's life sinde he seized power in July, 1958. The street ambush occurred 17 days after the execution of leaders of the abortive Mosul uprising last March. There had been several demonstrations against the excutions. It was not know whether the assassination attempt was the work of one or several persons, nor was there any official word as to whether any arrests had been made.

Wives Os Officials Keep Daily Diaries WASHINGTON (UPD — At least two women in the Eisenhower administration are keeping a record of the part they’re playing in history. It all goes down in their daily diaries. Pat Nixon jots down exciting notes in her journal, especially when she’s globe-trotting with the vice president. Nina Khrushchev, wife of the Soviet premier, told her she ought to write a book. Mrs. Wiley T. Buchanan tells all to her diary about her official life as the wife of the State Department’s chief of protocol. No Publishing. Desires But both women disclaim any desire to pubilsh their diaries. Mrs. Nixon says she is writing her personal memoirs for her daughters, Tricia and Julia. As the wife of a diplomatic topkick, blonde blue-eyed Ruth Buchanan is privy to the intimate side of state visits. Somet of it makes good reading, she concedes. But not for public print. “If anyone writes a book,” insists Mrs. Buchanan, “it’ll be Wiley.” When the Buchanans are escorting the President’s high-ranking guests around the country, she manages to do her personal scribbling in planes, trains and crowded waiting rooms. Describes Ike Visit She says the State Department tries to do a smooth job of red carpet planning for every chief of state — but it doesn’t always work that way. “Everything went according to schedule ... minute by minute when Queen Elizabeth was here,” confides Mrs. Buchanan. But her jotted impressions of the Khrushchev cross-country tour run to such descriptions as “wild” “hectic” and “three-ring circus.” She confesses she heaved a “sigh of relief” when “everyone got back safe” from that spectacular trip. . ' i Teen-Ager Killed As Car Hits Abutment INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Theodore Hind. 19, Indianapolis, died in General Hospital here Wednesday of injuries sustained Tuesday night when his car, which State ' Police said was speeding, rammed J into a bridge abutment on the outi skirts of Indianapolis.

Missing Girls Are Feared Abducted HELENA, Mont. (UPD —The parents of three teen-age girls who ts disappeared six days ago with two escaped convicts and an ex-convict said today they were convinced the girls were abducted. The search for the missing girls and the three men moved today from Montana to southern Idaho, where a gas station attendant in Arco said he serviced the stolen 1959 sedan in which the teenagers left Helena with the men. Officials had kept the girls’ disappearance secret until Wednesday, for fear the convicts and the ex-conyict might panic and harm them. Claudia Fuller and Sharon Balazs, both 17, and Sharon McDowell, 16, apparently climbed willingly into the pink sedan at noon last Friday. With them were escaped California convicts George R. Jann, 29, and Frank H. Spicer, 24, and ex-convict Frank I. Fisher, 20. The men came to Helena recently in the pink car, believed to have been stolen in Snohomish, Wash. The three men, charged with

unlawful flight to avoid prosecution, struck up an Acquaintance with the girls and dated them. “They told the girls they had just been discharged from the service and pooled their money to buy the car,” said Mrsi Darline McDowell. She and the parents of the other girls worried and fretted while officers in three states searched for the girls and the three men. “They must have been kidnaped,” said Mrs. Adella Balazs, Sharon's widowed mother. “It’s horrible. She’s never been away from home at night before.” Cecil Fuller, Claudia’s father, said he knew that "anything that happened was against her will.” “I had just bought her a nice little car and I was going to put a radio in it for her,” he said. All the girls were described by neighbors as being quiet, wellbehaved and trustworthy, and the school principal, Winston Weaver, said "They never gave us any trouble.” Dead Giveaway BUFFALO, N. Y.
