Britain’s Labor Party Is Split

By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign Editor The British Labor party held its annual conference earlier this month to chart means of restoring itself to favor in the eyes of British voters and to recapture the government from the Conservatives of Prime Minister Harold Macmillan. The result, even in the eyes of party leaders, was a near disaster. It left the party split betw en the issues of neutralism and the nuclear deterrent, and the clear impression that the party which swept to power in 1945 now is a party without a platform, colorless, without either the will or the determination to create one. Further, it placed party leader Hugh Gaitskell in the position of trying to lead a house d'vided. Among the Labor members of Parliament, it has been estimated that Gaitskell can count on the support of perhaps 180. Support NATO, A-bombs These will follow his line of support for NATO and the nuclear deterrent and a go-slow attitude toward further nationalization of British industry. Opposed to him wiH be about 75

who will follow the neutralist line of the left-wing labor unions and will continue their demands for all out nationalization. World War II had just ended when the Labor party ousted the Conservative government of Winston Church, and, under Prime Minister Clement Attlee, embarked on a sweeping program of industrial and social changes. The}’ nationalized British steel, trucking and railroads. TTiey pressed for full employment under various government work programs, instituted care for the aged and guaranteed medical and dental care for all. They gave freedom to India, Pakistan. Ceylon and Burma. But they also supported Nato and placed Britain in a common front against aggressive communism. Adopt 2 Resolutions This year, behind the leadership of left-wing union leader Frank i Cousins and over the passionate i objections of Gaitskell, the Labor conference adopted two resolutions which would strip Britain of her defenses and leave her alone in the world struggle. One would declare Britain’s

neutrality. Another would have Britain destroy all her nuclear arms regardless of action by other nations. Thus Gaitskell found himself pushed willy-nilly almost to the side of the Conservatives, while another large segment of his party moved ever closer to the Communists. The years since 1951 have been rough ones for the Labor party. Two of its most outstanding personalities, Aneurin Bevan and Ernest Bevin, are dead. Thicker pay envelopes and prosperity have reduced socialism’s appeal to many voters. But food for thought is the vocal neutralism existing in Britain, even though still representing a minority. Philadelphia Mayor, G.E. In Hassle PHILADELPHIA (UPl)—Mayor Richardson Dilworth accused the I General Electric Co. Monday of j the “worst kind of blackmail” in the recent 22-day strike by the International Union of Electrical Workers. The mayor charged the company, sought to incite violence among strikers by sending men with cameras to photograph pickj ets. He also accused the company of following a “policy of political coercion and intimidation of municipal governments as a weapon for the settlement of the strikes.” Dilworth said the company sent notices to the mayors of 135 cities where GE plants are located and threatened to move the plants from those cities if the mayors didn't arrange that all persons seeking entrance to the plants through picket lines were, able to get in. i Dilworth said he remained sili ent until after the strike was settled in order to prevent violence and avoid comfort to either side. General Electric replied to Dilworth today with a full page ad in the Philadelphia Evening Bul- , letin. GE, in its add, accused the mayor of “factually inaccurate and distorted attacks” on the company. The company said “non-striking employes were prevented from entering plant ggtes by more than a thousand massed pickets. . .They were jeered, shoved, kicked and pushed. . and obscenities were I shouted at men and women employes.” "The basic rights of individual employes tn Philadelphia (to go to work if they wish to do so) were deliberately sacrificed to the massed force of powerful unions,” the company said. Nab Pair Breaking Into Automobile INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — T w o Indianapolis youths were held on preliminary charges of larceny land auto banditry today after police caught them breaking into a car parked on a downtown street.

Anti Catholic Pamphlets Are Big Business MINNEAPOLIS (UPI) — A publisher of religious tracts said Monday that anti-Catholic pamphlets currently make up the bulk of his business. Cyrus Osterhus, whose firm ranks among the largest in the nation, said the demand for antiI Catholic literature has increased 400 per cent in recent months. Shipments of his tracts recently totalled about 3.5 million copies a week, he said. Although only about two per cent of the 1,350 different pamphlets could be described as anti-Catholic, they now make up the bulk of his business, he said. Being prepared now for circulation, Osterhus said, are four new tracts which all mention Sen. John F. Kennedy, a Catholic and the Democratic presidential nominee, by name. Osterhus, however, did hot regard the publications as an entry into politics by his firm. “We are only vfilling a demand for such literature in the religious field,” he said. “There have been no unusually large orders,” he continued, “aria as nearly as we can determine the literature is being distributed by private individuals, rather than by politicians or an organized group.” Orders have been received from every state, Osterhus said, with no apparent concentration in any area of the nation. The publisher said the large increase in sales of anti-Catholic literature began about April 1. when Kennedy was campaigning in a number of states for his party's presidential nomination. The Post Office Department has investigated his literature, Osterhus said, and failed to find any charges.

Kaminsky To Report At Purdue Thursday LAFAYETTE, Ind. (UPD— Mark Kaminsky, a Michigan foreign language instructor who wap expelled from Russia after a spy trial recently, plans to come here Thursday to see about his job at Purdue University. Kaminsky told Radio Statiori WASK of Lafayette in a telephone interview from Detroit Monday he feel “almost like a duck shedding water’’ to be free and home: in the United States after seven weeks detention in the Soviet Union. “It was an odd experience,” he said. Asked if the Russians brainwashed him, Kaminsky said “I’m afraid of the term brainwash. But I would say that the manner and means that the -Soviets employ is mental coercion.” Kaminsky said he believes one reason he and a traveling companion on a summer tour of Russia were arrested was because of his ability to speak Russian, which made it possible for him to converse with the Russian people he met. Mike Ungersma of WASK aked Kaminky what he thinks of the American people's attitude toward Russia. “I think the people in the United States are too complacent." Kaminsky replied. “We tend to accept at face value the propaganda that their government puts out.” Kaminsky said he believes the Russian people are "good people.” Eacn evening over 4,j(X copies are printed oi the Decatur Daily Democrat.

Cross Country Tour Concluded By Ike HOUSTON, Tex. (UPD—President Eisenhower has warned that cheapening of the dollar and “bumbling” big government threaten to undermine America’s leadership in the global battle against Communism. But the United States is still the most powerful nation in the world and will remain so unless Americans respond “to false fears and empty promises,” he said. The Chief Executive winding up a nine-day, cross country speaking tour at Rice University Monday night, flies back to Washington early this morning. Eisenhower disclaimed any political motives in his address to an estimated 8,000 persons even though parts of his speech contrasted sharply with views of Sen. John F. Kennedy, Democratic presidential nominee. The President made no mention of Kennedy or Vice President Richard M. Nixon, the GOP candidate, and told the audience he meant no disparagement of anyone. The coast-to-coast tour was obviously aimed at luring votes into the Republican column although the White House described it as non-political. Houston was the last stop on Eisenhower's 6,700-mile trip. The President also crossed into Mexico Monday on a farewell, goodwill visit with Mexican President Adolfo Lopez Mateos. The two leaders disregarded a misty raiji and muddy streets to reaffirm their dedication to an "indestructible” friendship between their two nations. Lopez Mateos and Eisenhower embraced on the Mexican side of a bridge over the Rio Grande at Ciudad Acuna, Mexico, the site of a S7O million dam to be built jointly by both countries.

Season's First Snowfall Hits In Northeast By United Press International The season’s first snow hit the nation’s northeast Monday as torrential rains deluged parts of Texas. Widespread snow showers whipped across the eastern Great Lakes and New England during the night. The snow reached a depth of seven inches at the little town of Torpedo, Pa., and five inches on Whiteface Mountain in the Adirondacks. A cold wave followed hard on the heels of the wind - driven snows, dropping temperatures across the Midwest. Marquette, Mich., had a nighttime low of 17. Snow removal crews went on 24hour shifts along a 100 - mile stretch of the Pennsylvania Turnpike. New York City’s first snow was recorded at the top of the world’s largest building, the Empire State, but 44 degree temperatures melted the snow by the time it reached the street. Highway crews in Michigan’s Huron County battled blizzard-like snows. Five foot waves lashed the Lake Huron shoreline. Four hunters were rescued from the storm, but two were still missing. Fall thundersqualls pounded New England and rained hailstones on Boston. Some Boston streets were flooded and lightning caused some damage to electrical service. But the rain changed to snow over many sections of the six-state area during the night. The heaviest rain hit south Texas. The downpour drove 1,000 persons from their homes at Rio Grande City in what was described as the community’s worst flood. One-fifth of the city of 7,000 persons was reported under water. The deluge forced evacuation of 525 homes and 25 business places, but no one was injured. Heavy rain caused postponement of a parade in San Antonio to open the premiere of the motion picture, “The Alamo,” and caused minor flooding throughout the city. Pilot Is Uninjured In Road Landing MARION, Ind. (UPD —A singleengine private plane, attempting to land in fog, set down on Swayzee Road west of here early today. The plane hit a fence and nosed over, breaking the propellor. The pilot apparently escaped injury. Two Autos Involved In Accident Monday Two cars were involved in an accident at the intersection of Fifth street and Nuttman Ave. Monday at 3:40 pjn. with only minor damage resulting from the mishap. Hugh A. Holthouse, 54, 432 N. Second street was turning left off Nuttman onto Fifth and struck a car driven by Larry Andrews, 17, 946 N. Eleventh street, which was making a left turn off Fifth onto Nuttman. The Andrews car sustained S4O damages while the Holthouse vehicle suffered only $5 damage.

m" ‘I Henry F. Schricker, twice governor of Indiana, and Mrs. Schricker, drove to Warsaw Monday evening to appear on TV, make a radio broadcast, and speak in favor of the candidacy of his friend, Matthew E. Welsh, Democratic candidate for governor. Gov. Schricker explained that he thought that it was time that the people of Indiana returned a candidate to office who stands for inegrity and honesty in government as he did when he served. He and Welsh led a parade through Warsaw during the evening, before speaking at Bp. m. at the high school. Following the TV and [ a d>o broadcast, Gov. Schricker reminisced about his many visits to Adams county, and inquired about several of his friends here. He has nearly recovered from a stroke suffered several years ago, although he favors his right side slightly. A throat ailment makes it extremely difficult for him to speak at meetings.

Work Is Started On Monroe Reservoir BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (UPD— Governor Handley today turned over the first shovel of dirt to begin construction of the longawaited Monroe Reservoir, a project he termed a “great milestone for all of us, demonstrating what team-work in public service can do for the betterment of our sovereign state and of our nation.” Completion of the reservoir, which will back up an 11-thousand acre lake, is not expected until at least three years after today’s ground-breaking ceremonies. The major portion of the work will be done by the U.S. Army Engineer Handley said the state’s agreement with the federal'government calls for about $3.5 million to be paid by Indiana during the two fiscal years starting next July 1. He said one of his last acts as governor will be to recommend that the 1961 General Assembly appropriate that sum. Indiana and the federal government are splitting the cost of the project, with the state paying 54 per cent and the government 46 per cent. The 1959 Legislature appropriated $1 million to get the project underway.

Handley said the reservoir would create a “very valuable new regional water reserve with flood control benefits realized in the Salt Creek, White River and Wabash River valleys.” “Vast new recreational areas will be made available,” he said. “Fish and wildlife improvements and pollution abatement will result.” “The impounding of waters at the heads of streams is one effective way to arrest overflows and also to provide reserve water for dry seasons. America has spent billions of dollars digging ditches, dredging channel, and clearing away debris to speed water run-,_ off to the sea. But until recently we have not appreciated what can be done—how a crisis can be changed into a God-sent—by scientific water control.” Handley said great projects like the Monroe Reservoir have “resulted from the vision and leadership of many who have dreams of a newer and greater Indiana. “This has been a wonderful day for all of us.” Leaf Fire Results In Department Call The fire department was called to a leaf fire on Line street in front of the Vic Porter home this morning. It was just a small blaze and was quickly extinguished. *-
