Press Secretary James C. Hagerty Mid the addition of the Philippines. Okinawa and Taipei — where the President will see Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek —was made possible by cancellation of Eisenhower's plans to spend nine davs in Russia There was a strong possibility that Eisenhower would travel from Manila to Taipei by cruiser, aboard the flagship of the American 7th Fleet, the cruiser St. Paul, and accompanied by the aircraft earner Ticonderoga. The President will maintain his previously announced schedule for arriving in Japan, via Alaska, June 19 He will spend three nights in Japan and then fly to Korea for a one-day visit.

SEATO Leaders Open Conference

WASHINGTON (UPI) — Vice President Richard M. Nixon said today there must be "firmness without belligerence’’ in dealing with Russia as a result of the summit collapse Nixon also said the free world henceforth probably will put more of its faith in traditional types of diplomatic negotiation, but he did not rule out future summit confer€l¥CCS. Nixon spoke at the opening session of the annual ministerial meeting of the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization. He welcomed the delegates on behalf of President Eisenhower. The vice president cautioned against “trading insults” with the Communist world in fixing the blame for the failure of the Paris Big Four meeting. This, he warned, "might raise the international temperature to the boiling point” and could Set off a global war. Alert Against China Nixon did not rule out more summit conferences in the. future. But he said: "Deeply disappointed as we are, we must continue to explore every possible avenue for adjustment of relations. While we do not rule out any kind of meeting tor achieving the cause of peace, certainly the world wiH have greater confidence in the future in the traditional methods of diplomacy and in discussions in the United Nations than in the summitry on which Mr. Khrushchev has in the past insisted ” The Southeast Asia Allies also were told that the summit failure will have a direct bearing on Asia’s future and that they must be on the alert against possible aggressive moves by Red China. The warning was sounded as the

The" 170-foot cataracts formed because the rock bed of the river has unequal hardness with the harder layers overlapping the soft layers underneath. The cave of the winds, which may be visited by tourists on the trip, was formed by the slapping (Continued on page eight)

SEATO met to consider the prospect of an intensified cold war and new Communist actions following the iU-fated summit conference. ~ In the opening session, Secretary of State Christian A. Herter, British Foreign Minister Selwyn Lloyd and French Foreign Minister. Maurice Couve de Murville spoke to the Asian Allies on what may be ahead. France Pledges Support - Herter reminded some nonmember nations that SEATO has given the peoples "southwest of mainland China” greater security than they could have had alone. His remarks apparently were aimed at opinion in India and Burma, and perhaps Cambodianeutralist nations which have been critical of the military pact. Herter made no reference to the summit. But the French foreign minister did- Couve de Murville said the summit failure will have a direct bearing on Asia’s future because in today's interdependent world a crisis or easing of tension in one area quickly spreads to other areas. Without mentioning Red China, he said Asia must be sensitive and alert to “the ideological expansionism or the will to power of some” nations. He pledged that France will stand "side-by-side” with the SEATO Allies in defending freedom in Southeast Asia. Lloyd made a strong defense of collective security alliances like SEATO but said he recognized that some Southeast Asia nations do not agree with this concept. New Zealand Prime Minister Walter Nash told the conference that the Allies must deal with the repercussions of the summit failure with “calm, confidence and vigilance.”

U. S. Traffic Toll Is 366

United Press International i Late-reported accidents pushed the Memorial Day weekend traffic death figure toward the 370 mark today and safety workers praised press and radio and traffic officials for keeping it from going higher. The National Safety Council had estimated that 375 persons would die in traffic accidents during the weekend which began at 6 p.m. Friday. By midday Monday, a United Press International count showed that 366 died between Friday night and midnight Monday. Drownings, many of them the result' of boating' accidents; took 121 lives, plane crashes 21. and other accidents 83, for an over-all total of 572. Ohio, which saw six servicemen die in one headon collision with a truck, led the list of states in traffic deaths with 27. California showed 23. New York and Pennsylvania 22, Illinois 20, Alabama and North Carolina, 18, Michigan 17, and Indiana 16, among the leaders Extra Traffic, Extra Danger The 1958 Memorial Day mark was 371 dead in traffic, and this figure, for a weekend of comparable length, was the one which councy officials had feared would be eclipsed. A council spokesman said that the figure had given the nation additional evidence that “holiday periods bring extra traffic and extra danger.” “We are convinced that had, it not been for special efforts by traffic enforcement agencies and, officers throughout the country, and the p.gnih.ervice performed by the press and thb broadcasting industry in bringing constant safety reminders to the public, the toll would have been considerably higher.” ~ _. ~ Alaska, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho and Rhode Island reported no fatalities. Predicted Grave Total The National Safety Council had predicted motorists would eclipse the 1958 Memorial Day traffic, record of 371 and estimated 375 would die in this year’s 78-hour holiday. The worst single holiday disaster occurred- ' near Cambridge, Ohio, Monday where six young servicemen were killed when their speeding car smacked head—on into a tractor-trailer. Wrecking crews spent two hours untangling the wreckage and authorities needed several I more hours to identify the bodies of the young servicemen. Another accident Monday night near Pottstown. Pa , killed four persons and injured five others. Speedway Stands Fall The Indianapolis Speedway, scene of the nation's greatest auto race, added to the holiday toll when a homemade grandstand collapsed, killing two fafts and injuring more than 75 Clarksville.

Holiday Observed In Decafur Monday “Memorial Day recalls the immortality of the human soul, and the high ideals for which American youth have given their lives in defense of their country,” the Right Rev Jifcgr Siry'an Schmitt told the Memorial Day audience at the peace monument following the annual Memorial day parade Monday. ?., The annual service started with a motorcade to the two Decatur cemeteries, where the VFW and American Legion led services at the graVe of the last two departed veterans. A parade consisting of the veterans and auxiliaries, the Decatur Catholic high school band, and Boy Scouts, marched through town to the bridge, where the annual Services in memory of the naval dead were held. They then returned to the peace memorial, where Msgr. Schmitt spoke. Following the service, the dead werp remembered by the firing squad. Msgr. Schmitt’s Address The text of Msgr. SchmiUt’s address follows: “My good friends and fellow citizens; “We are gathered here this morning at this beautiful peace monument, to pay a well-deserv-ed tribute of gratitude and devotion to those Whose names are inscribed here, and to the many others who, like them, have served their country and ours, in the various branches of the military service. “Today’s observance of Memorial Day on a nationwide scale, brings forcibly to mind one of the basic and fundamental truths of Christianity, namely the immortality of the human soul. There would be no point whatever m this observance, there would tx no sacred significance in Memorial Day, were it not for our belief that after death the souls of our loved ones continue-to live m another world, that while we toyinglv consign their bodies to the bosom of mother earth, the soul of each departed human being returns at death to toe God who made it, to be assigned to a life in that other world which will never have an end-wherc there will be no tears of parting-where sorrow will be no more-but only joy everlasting, for those who have lived righteously to tois earthly existence. “Almighty God has created each of us with a twofold principle of being, body and soul. The union of these tteo elements at toe moment of conception siiells n e, and the dissolution or separation of body and soul results , in the phenomenon we call* death. “We have just finished paying a tribute of love and devotion to the bodies of bur loved ones, to their mortal remains which lie resting in the grave, those bodies which came from God in the first instance, and which the Scriptures tell us He will bne day bring gloriously back to life again. . “But memorial services would (Continued on pake »lx)
