Soviet Russia Walks Out On Disarmament Parley, West Denounces Action

GENEVA <UPD — RuMia and IU Communiit satellite* abruptly walked out ol the 10-natmn di* armament ronlrrrncr today in an obviously rebeaaed maneuver which blocked bearing of new Western proposal* and threw the parley into angry turnoil. Chief soviet delegate Valerian Zorin and the entire Communist bloc sulked from the meeting, room vowing to place the whole issue before the United , Nation.' General Assembly as French Ambassador Jules Moch shouted "Hoodlumism! Hoodlumism!” at them The Western powers promptly denounced the Communists’ move, continued with the day’s session and announced another meeting of the conference for Tuesday morning—which the Reds clearly did not plan to attend. Zorin, the same man who broke up the last East-West disarmament conference in Ixmdon in August, 1857. got the floor first He announced that the Western powers had refused to discuss disarmament, and therefore Moscow considered this conference could do no more work. Chair Ignores West Polish Deputy Foreign Minister Marian Naszkowski. today’s chairman, ignored repeated Western attempts—orally and in writing — to get the floor, and announced when Zorin was finished: “The work of this commission Is now discontinued, its role therefore now exhausted." Moch leaped to his feet, roaring: “I want the floor! Twant-the’ floor!" Naszkowski hesitated for an instant while he glanced at Zorin, then continued to lead the "Communist group out of the room while Moch yelled, "Hoodlumism! Hoodlumism!” „ British Minister of State David Ormsby-Cyore, who also was on his feet trying to get the floor, pioved to the head of the table as the Communist group disappeared through the door, and took over the chairmanship. "A Sad Moment" Chief U.S. delegate Fredrick M. Easton, who returned from Washington with new American proposals only Sunday, then led off a round of Western speeches deploring the Red walkout and warning that the world would be the best judge of the Soviet action. “This is a sad moment," Eaton said. “The Soviets have shown their true motives." Zorin made his move to wreck this conference with the same abruptness and arrogance as Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev wrecked the Paris summit meeting in May. He did so despite the fact that only moments before to-

Arrest 10 In Havana Blast

HAVANA (UPlt—An ammunition dump explosion, the second such disaster to rock Havana m — 3Vz months, touched off a wave of bitter anti - U.S. comment throughout Havana today and semi-official charges of sabotage. At least 10 persons were reported arrested in connection with the blast, which occurred Sunday night in a major Cuban army munitions depot in the Cayo Cruz section of Havana Harbor. Official reports put the toll at two dead and 200 injured. The explosion hurled huge sections of the stone wall of the ammunition dump 100 yards out into the bay l ? The concussion pushed fa downtown storefronts. It smashed window glass in houses, apartments. Stores and business buildings for. five mile around. A tremendou white cloud mushroomed high into the air over the dump. Residents rushed to the street from their homes, from restaurants and from evening masses at churches in near panic. Electric power to some areas was knocked out temporarily.Near Ship Explosion The site was only 250 yards across the harbor from where the French munitions ship La Coubre blew up. at dockside March 4, killing 60 persons and bringing accusations of sabotage against the United States that plummeted Cuban-t American relations to a historic low.

I — — day’s session started Eaton had told him the Western powers were 1 about finished with their consultations on a new plan and would try to pressmt it this week. Speaking after the Communists had left the room—and with re--1 porters present in the conference chamber for the .first time—Moch - described the Reds actions as “unprecedented in the annals of Internationa) conferences “ Introduced U.S. Plan Ormsby-Gore said it was plain the Communists were trying to avoid hearing the new Western disarmament plan. In his role as chairman. Orms-by-Gore declared that "The com- ' mission has continued in session, as there has been no agreement to adjourn." After Zorin’s walkout. Eaton went ahead and introduced the new American plan as a conference document. He added that *t had the agreement "in principle" i of the other Western delegates, and that had the Soviets remained, an agreed and final pa- * per would have been presented later this wpdf? Eaton s/id the new American plan inclined recognition of the discussions thus far in the thre? weeks the conference has been back in session since the summit recess. Eaton went to Washington 10 days ago and stopped off in London and Paris to confer on his way back here. While he was away, the chief British and French delegated also made trips to their capitals and the conference at Geneva just dragged ajong at snail pace with the Communists accusing the West of stalling. . Conference sources said Zorin opened today’s 47th meeting with a statement that the Western powers had been meeting the latest Sovie disarmament proposals with “arguments of secondary importance." . "It would be more fruitful if we continued in the United Nations General Assembly with the proper participation of all the states who are members of that forum, he was quoted as saying. Western sources had believed for several weeks that the Communists were building up to a walkout so they could get more propaganda mileague out of Khrushchev’s revised plan when the United Nations General Assembly convenes in September. - However, they had thought the Communists would at least wait until they had heard a formal, unified Western reply to the Khrushchev proposals. This still was being worked on today and had been expected to be introduced at Friday’s session.

Premier Fidel Castro, returning from an on-the-spot investigation, was involved in an auto accident but was not injured. Less than two hours earlier the young premier had been before the television cameras delivering his third major attack in as many days on tht prospect of a cut in the U.S. sugar quota for Cuba. The speech also described antiCommunist activity *ifi Cuba as “counter revolutionary.” Quiet Sunday A major loss of life was averted only by the fact that it was Sunday, and relatively, few workers were near the dump. Many of the injured were Health Department employes working at a garbage truck pool about 300 yards away. Os eight guards on duty at the time only one was injured. Two others soldiers in a nearby barracks were hurt. The explosion, coming on top of the loss of most of the cargo of the La Coubre, Was believed to have cut deeply into the powder stockpiles of Castro’s revolutionary army. One civilian was heard to demand: “We ought to send body to the States io kidnap Eisenhower and return him to Cuba for a sabotage trial.” Government controlled stations and the news agency Prensa Latina attributed the blast to sabotage.

House Passes Tax Extension Measure

WASHINGTON <UPT> — The House voted approval today of a compromise bill to continue Korean War corporation and excise tax rates for another year and prevent a four-billion-dollar lost of revenue. The measure now goes to the Senate which is expected to similarly approve the bill and send it to President Eisenhower. The excise levies and higher corporation tax rates were due to expire at midnight Thursday without the legislation. * The bill postpones for another year a reduction of the corporate rate from 52 to 47 per cent and forestalls scheduled reductions in excise taxes on liquor, cigarettes, new automobiles, auto parts and accessories, travel fares and local telephone calls. Other congressional ndws: Adjourn me nt: Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson prodded the Senate today to finish up its work and adjourn sometime next week by working nights. Saturday and possibly the Fourth of July. The Texan, an undeclared but prominent bidder for the Democratic presidential, nomination, expressed hope Congress could adjourn for the year before the Democratic convention gets under way July 11. He declined to commit himself on the question of a Senate Fourth of July session next Monday. Senate Republican Leader Everett M„ Dirksen opposed such a session. Unemployed: Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy (D-Minn.) and five members of his special committee on problems of the unemployed introduced a biH aimed at expanding the social security system by S3BO million. McCarthy said the bill was aimed mainly at helping needy unemployed and their families, especially in areas of chronic unemployment where states and localities have been unable to provide effective assistance. He said the measure would provide for federal grants-in-aid to states which elect to share the cost of the program — and which have established approved general assistance programs. The bill, co-sponsored by Democratic Sens. Joseph S. ClarK <Pa.>, Jennings Randolph (W.Va.) Pat McNamara (Mich.), R. Vance Hartke (Ind.) and Gale W. McGee (Wyo.), would help finance aid for about 435,000 state general assistance cases by providing up to $33 a month per person. Low-income states would have to put only 30 per cent of the cost and high-income states would Mrs. Guy Allen Dies Sunday Al Hospital Mrs. Elizabeth G.

Ski lien Retains Party Leadership

INDIANAPOLIS <UPD—Democratic State Chairman Charles E. i Skillen proved again Sunday that he has more political lives than | the proverbial cat. An ouster movement against Ski.en faded to materialize at a (special meeting of the party’! (State Committee, but his wings ' were clipped a bit. A compromise deal was apI proved by the State Committee • whereby an executive committee lof that body will direct the fall I campaign and apparently also I boss Skillen. The executive, committee m»mjbers were named by State Sen. Matthew E. Welsh, the gubernatorial nominee, and all had backed Welsh for governor. * Deluxe Chairman Albert deluse. Indianapolis, 11th District chairman, was chosen chairman and other members are Mrs. Dorothy Elmore, Crawfordsville. 6th District vice-chairman; Curnel Richardson. Spencer, 7th District chairman; Joseph Mettler. Huntington, sth District chairman. and Gordon St. Angelo. Huntingburg. Bth District chairman. Welsh carefully pointed out that St. Angelo is a member of the “co-called Paul M. Butter faction of the party.” However, another Butlerite, State Sen. Marshall Kizer, Plymouth is not on the executive committee. We worked against Welsh and supported State Auditor Albert A. Steinwedel. Seymour, for governor. Welsh said the executive committee will meet at least once a week during the campaign, beginning July 25, but not resuming sessions until July 25 because of the national convention in Los Angeles. Separate Office However, the Welsh-for-Gover-nor Club will continue to maintain separate headquarters, headed by Manfred Core.' Knox County chairman. who managed the club during the campaign. He was to have succeeded Skillen, who has held office for the past eight years, if the Skillen purge had matured. James Noland. Indianapolis, former 7th district ' representative and now secretary of the State Committee, will be secretary of the executive committee. “This new committee is designed to create a small, closely knit organization to supervise the campaign, to maintain party harmoney and to win the election this fall.” Welsh declared. -Welsh was asked whether it was a means of “bypassing Skillen.” He thought a moment and replied: "It is an attempt to streamline the efforts of the State Commitee during the campaign.” “NeeffTWoney There will be a formidable money-raising, effort? according to Welsh, who added, however, that he believes that the Hoosier Republicans will have three times as much money to spend during the campaign. The GOP budget -.is more than one million dollars. Asked about potential campaign funds from the thousands of workers in the city halls and counties, carried extensively by the Democrats in the last two elections, Welsh replied: „ “We are Certainly going to shake’ the tambourine in those places.” Welsh said there also will be a number of dinners and -especial events designed to gather in the lucre. i The compromise teas arranged after Welsh and Skillen conferred for many hours Saturday afternoon. Skillen remained silent during Welsh's outline of proceedings of the State Committee. , - Delegates Organize ® The Welsh forces remained in the saddle at the organization meeting of national convention delegates later.
