Secret Talks Completed By Defense Heads QUANTICO. Va <UPD — An absolute blackout on information about the meeting of 167 de<rn*c chief* here will be lifted partially today by Dvfen»c Secretary Thom** S Gate* Jr. It will be reporter*' first opportunity to question Gate* about the cnntroveratel worldwide military communication* alert he ordered on the eve of the abortive Pari* jumtnil meeting Gate* ha* defended the alert before Congress a* a "prudent” move. {‘(wnmuniat China’* bombardment of the offshora island of Quesnoy to protest President Eisenhower's visit to Formosa apparently was taken calmly by the defense chiefs and was touched on only briefly in their guarded conferences Fleet On Alert But in response to newsmen s written questions, a Defense Department spokesman said the U.S 7th Fleet in the Western Pacific was on a “normal precautionary alert" because of Eisertiower's

presence and the “general tempo of the tames” in the Formosa area. The spokesman sara. however, that no move was underway to strengthen U.S. forces in the Far East or speed up shipments of | weapons and equipmsxit to the ! Nationalist Chinese bastion of Formosa. During their three-day meeting here _ half work and half play—the civilian and uniformed defense leaders were kept in touch with developments in the Far East by a special command post. Wilson Originated Sessions Through this temporary communications headquarters, commanders could be in immediate contact with U.S. forces anywhere in the world. The shutdown on public information about the conference was a sharp departure from the early years of the annual meetings, originated by former Defense Secretary Charles *E. Wilson. During Wilson’? term, the Quantico meetings were occasions for summarizing publicly the status of U.S. forces future prospects, manpower plans, weapons developments and budget plans.

Avert Walkout At Douglas Aircraft

LOS ANGELES (UPD — Settlement within 24 hours of an 11-day strike against Convair and a threatened walkout against Douglas raised hopes today of a return to full production in the nation’s aircraft-missile industry. International Assn, of Machinists (IAM> pickets still paraded at Lockheed missiles and space division facilities, but negotiators said operations “were virtualy normal.” Negotiations in that con-, tract dispute continued in San Francisco. Douglas Aircraft reached tentative agreement Friday night just two hours before about 20.00 machinists were scheduled to walk off their jobs at Santa Monica and El Segundo, Calif., plants, and missile test centers across the country. Convair earlier in the day had worked out a tentative pact with the IAM but union members on at least one key Atlas missile base, remained on strike, rejecting the offer. The Douglas agreement halted any walkout by workers who build and service the Thor intermediate range missile and the Skybolt air-launched missile. A statement said the tentative settlement closely resembled the one agreed upon by the machinists and Convair. Details of neither were disclosed pending ratification by union members. Convtair machinists at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., the nation’s only site for war-ready Atlases, turned down the company’s supplemental offer by a 2-1 margin. The supplemental offer is tor off-site employes at test centers. But at Cape Canaveral, Fla., IAM workers agreed to the sup-

Welsh Appears In Lead For Governor

INDIANAPOLIS <UPI» — Sen. Matthew E.

State Auditor! (Albert A Steinwcdel. in at least h I eight of the 11 congressional districts. i Steinwcdel gained some ground ' after Secretary of State John R. L Walsh and State Sen. Nelson ' Grills retired in his favor and fol- I lowing the announcements of Ter- I re Haute Ma.ror Ralph Tucker < and Roger D. Branigin, Lafayette 1 attorney, that they are not running. Ateinweaei also has some po- • tent backing among townriiip trustees and other local officials because of his stand against the school reorganization taw.

Steinftedel Strength 1 The potency of Steinwcdel appears to be in his home district. Mw 9th and in the 2nd and »th Districts. to a much lees er extent It has been a rough race with the various gubernatorial hopefuls . j firing oratorical blasts at each j other all over the state. I Welsh has had the financial backing and counsel of former national Chairman Frank E. Mci Kinney of Indianapolis, and national committeeman Alex Campbell of Fort Wayne, as well as solid support from the Democratic citadel of Lake County The Siteinwedel backers have cried “’boss-ism" as the candidates fighting from under usually do. The Welsh chiefs often raise the poiiy that Steinwedel is too young in party affairs in his first term as"stiate auditor and that he should “go through the chairs”. , as they say in lodge circles.

The new treaty, consisting of 10 'general articles and a preamble, provides for joint defense of this key pro-Western nation of the 1 western Pacific. Allows Japan Veto Accompanying articles, which need no ratification, give the Japanese government a virtual veto power over the type of weapons the United States may introduce into Japan and the deployment of American torero from bases here. The security pact, under Japanese taw. was ratified automatically within 30 days of approval by the aU-powerful lower house of parliament. The upper house of councillors, a body w kh slightly more powerthan Britain s House of Lords, did not need to vote on the treaty. Although, ironically. It was the left wing Socialists who had • pressed for revision of the IWM . so-called “unequal treaty” in m? first ptace, the leftist opposition , became so great in the final days I of deliberation that police had to i be called in to assure passage by • the tower house at 12:16 a.m. ’ May 20. t The opposition to. the treaty be- ■ came so violent that on June 10, I radical students mobbed and ■ trapped President Eisenhower s personal representative.

House Votes Foreign Aid

WASHINGTON <UPI) — The House, influenced by tough new Communist trouble-making in the Far East and elsewhere, voted $3,584.50.00 fbr foreign aid Friday night and restored cuts in funds to stiffen Allied military might. But, Sen. Allen J. Ellender iD-La ) oited the same CornmunisMed disturbances in vowing today to try to slash the aid outlay “all the traffic will bear’ when it comes up in the Senate. Elender said recent anti - government riots which toppled the regimes in South Korea and Turkey and probably will in Japan might be evidence that the aid program "has been so miserably handled” that persons in those countries wanted to get rid of the leaders who cooperated in the program. The Louisiana Democrat, long an advocate of trimming the aid program, is a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee which has been holding hearings on President Eisenhower’s aid request. The committee does not plan to start drafting a bill before June 27. “Dm not going to be intimidated by the President or anyone else.” Ellender said. “Everytime this bill comes up we have some crisis or other.” The House, however, was clearIly influenced- by the Far East

on Jan. 1». ft U up for ra'.iftcatk« now m the* US. Senate. A dwindling thro** of 10.00 leftist* swarmed angrily around the national parliament during the night in a tense war of nerves with tt»»- government over the ratification. Kiahi called an emergency cabinet meeting for shortly after wudnigtot There was no indication of what the cabinet aetata* would coruader. but observers speculated that the session might serve as a bockdrop for KiabTs resignation. Kishi earlier rtayed in the officia, residence and ordered bis cabinet ministers to remain close at hand in case the students earned out their threats to burn bis official and personal homes, storm the Diet and plant a red flag atop the obelisk - towered parliament building. Th<- throng far outnumbered the combined police and self-defense troops available and police were prepared to use tear gas if necessarv. The mob comprised a last violent, desperate protest against the U.S -Japan security treaty. Ita auto malic ratification was only hours away and there was almost nothing the protest could do to stop it, but the demonstrators were vengeance bent. Prepared Far Battle Police said the students, now being openly led by Communists, were carrying helmets, hammers and attmGßob UPI correspondents at the scene saw many students carrying axes, ropes .ana It was clear the fanatic demonstrators were .out for a bloody battle. They brought their own medical corps—so medical students in white jackets. A helicopter of the Japanese air self-defense force hovered over Prime Minister Nobusuke Kisbi s residence across from the Diet compound—apparently ready to pluck Kishi from danger if necessary as a U.S. Marine helicopter rescued Witte House Press Secretary James G. Hagerty from a mob June 10. Form Truck Barricades About 7,00 police, gas masks at their belt and trucks drawn up as a barricade, were inside the Diet compound. Another 10,000 werp coming in from outlying areas and f the rest of Japan’s 22.00-man police force was alerted. UPI President Frank H. Bartholomew reported the leftists moved through downtown streets toward Parliament "like streams of warrior’ ants.” "Each bus. streetcar and subway train disgorged its additional hundreds,”he reported.

crisis in voting to restor'e 200 million dollars of the 400 million dollar cut by its Appropriations Committee from Eisenhower’s military aid request. The lawmakers restored the funds after "Rouse leaders cited the leftist - led Japanese riots which forced cancellation of Eisenhower’s visit to Tokyo. Chinese Communist shelling of the offshore island of Quemoy to protest the President’s visit to Formosa also hung over the decision. But the House rejected a companion administration attempt to restore 50 million dollars of the 124 million dollars chopped by the Appropriations Committee from Eisenhower’s request for defense support funds, a form of economic aid. The House bill, finally approved, 258-124, falls $590,500,000 short of the military and economic assistance sought by Eiseni bower for this nation’s cold war 1 allies in the 12 months starting July i. . The measure would give the j President. $1,800,000,00 of the two - million dollars he asked in military aid and 600 milion dollars of the 724 million dollars he wanti ed for defense support. The bill carries $1,184,500,000 of the $1,451,000,000 Eisenhower ! asked for other economic assistj aoce. ” . ‘
