Burma’s Thant Is Likely Secretary

UNITED NATIONS. N.Y. (UPI) —The appointment of Burma’s U Thant as acting secretary general of the United Nations appeared to be all but settled today. Final agreement on Thant was expected to emerge from President Kennedy’s talks with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko in Washington, no disclosure was likely until loose ends are tied up here next week. Seek Early Break Uncommitted diplomats, ' acknowledging that there had been no formal accord to install Thant as a temporary replacement for Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold, looked for a break in the situation early in the week that would a sure almost unanimous support. for the Burmese ambassador. Informed sources said the major roadblock was the dispute over what under secretaries should serve under the acting chief executive. The East-West struggle to fill

G. E. Shift Has No Effect In Decatur

G. E. Shift Has No Effect In Decatur Shift of some management employes in the small integral motors department of General Electric ■ from this area to Schenectady, I N. Y., will not affect the Decatur I plant, which is part of the fractional horsepower division, it was I learned here today. John R. Welch, formerly of I Decatur, is the general manager I of the Winter Street plant in Fort I Wayne, but it is not known at this I time as to whether he and his family will be involved in the shift. I The Welch family moved from I Decatur to Fort Wayne about two I months ago. SIOO Home Fallout Shelters Proposed WASHINGTON (UPl)—The administration is preparing a plan that would let individual home owners get fallout shelters for no ? more than SIOO to $l5O apiece, * according to President Kennedy. President Kennedy told a group ’ of newspaper publishers from New Jersey that the plan Would be revealed in about a month. However, the publishers were warned . not to disclose most of what the 1 President told them Friday. 5 Association publisher Joseph M. . Cudone of the Montclair, N.J., ; Times said Kennedy told them that information about the shelters would be released in about 3 30 days. Kennedy planned to recommend 1 that “everybody take advantage 1 of the plan,” Gudone said. 1 Eugene C. Farrell, editor of the 1 Jersey Journal, said Kennedy felt that “any prudent family” should provide itself with a fallout shel- ; ter. Kennedy told Gov. Nelson Rock2 efeller that a new federal civil t defense policy was “in the works.” Kennedy and Rockefeller met before the publishers’ meet- - ing. t In a letter to state civil defense - directors, Kennedy said radioac- - tive fallout could extend several r hundred miles from a target area - and "account for the major part -of the casualties” in a nuclear attack. But protection against this is within reach “of an informed America willing to face the facts and act,” he said. The government, Kennedy said, ' was “moving forward to bring ■ fallout shelter for large groups of 1 people under very austere condi- - tlons." ~

the void left by Hammarskjold’s death apparently was the first of a series looming during the current assembly. Russia and the United States clashed in the assembly’s political committee Friday over the question of priority of debate on he quesions of disarmament and a nuclear test ban. Asks Test Ban Talks U. S. Delegate Arthur H. Dean demanded top priority for discussion of a test ban, to be considered separately from disarmament. Soviet Ambassador Valerian A. Zorin insisted that general disarmament be discussed first, followed bv suspension of nuclear tests and other related items. The committee adjourned without making a decision. Despite the U.S. statement Friday that there had been no agreement on a plan to fill Hammarskjold’s post or on the man to take the job, it appeared the formal U.S. acquiescence was all that was lacking to make Thant the new U.N. chief.

BERLIN (UPI) — Soviet Deputy Premier Anastas Mikoyan said today Russia does not want war and would offer “all effective guarantees” to respect the rights of a free city in West Berlin. Mikoyan, in a speech at an East Berlin rally commemorating the 12th anniversary of the East German state, called for conclusion of a German peace treaty. But he set no deadline and made no threats against the West. East German Communist leaders took a stronger tack. They warned that Soviet rockets and nuclear weapons were ready for use if the West tried to block a German peace treaty by “war provocations.” They said any western provocation against East Germany’s borders would mean the start of a great war. Soviet Premier Nikita chev marked the anniversary With a message promising a German peace treaty would be signed “tn the very near future.” West Berlin police said at least 19 East Germans escaped to the West during the night, including four Communist policemen. A group of 12 — six men and six women — fled together by a route that West Berlin kept secret. They said it took them three hours to travel 300 yards. Marshal Ivan Koniev, the Soviet army commander in Germany and a World War II war hero, pledged Friday night that Russian troops would fight if the West attacks East Germany. “If the American imperialists and the West German revanchists dare to attack the first workers’ and farmers’ state in German history, the Soviet soldiers will defend the (Red) German democratic republic as their owi land,” he said in a message to Ulbricht. First Deputy Premier Anastas Mikoyan, communism’s traveling salesman, arrived in Berlin Friday. He said Russia will support East Germany "come what may.” Mikoyan was the major guest at a mass meeting in East Berlin’s Marx-Engels Square this morning. Ford, Auto Workers Are Still Far Apart DETROIT (UPI) — The United Auto Workers and Ford Motor Co., seemed as far apart as ever today toward resolving five issues which triggered a nationwide strike by 120,000 workers last Tuesday. UAW President Walter P. Reuther and Ford Vice President Malcolm L. Denise have thus far been unable to come to terms on a series of problems covering working conditions. However, they have reported “encouraging” results in solving plant-level disputes. Reuther Friday announced 12 new at-the-plant settlements. This brought to 49 the number of units wih agreemens, with 36 unis still bargaining. Neither Reuther nor Denise would be pinned down on when the strike might end. Both said they intended to “keep working” and Denise added that a Sunday settlement “isn’t beyond the realm of possibility, but I’m not predicting it.” When the two men resumed negotiations today, it was only their fourth meeting since the strike began five days ago. They logged abou four hours at the bargaining table from Tuesday’s deadline to this morning. Reuther and Denise ignored the national negotiations to concentrate on prodding local unions and management leaders to settle plant contracts. Their work apparently paid off. “Things seemed to be moving at some locals,’-’ Denise said. A union spokesman said only one issue was holding up agreement at nearly a score of plants. NOON EDITION

Sam Raybum May Be Taken Home To Die DALLAS, Tex. (UPI) — House Speaker Sam Rayburn, his life reduced to a number of “days” by cancer, may decide today if he is strong enough to go home to Bonham, Tex., to die. The trip home probably will be the 79-year-old Rayburn’s last wish. A doctor has said the decision will be Rayburn’s. Bonham is about 70 miles northeast of Dallas. " ' Another doctor said Friday, “There is actually nothing to do but make his last days as comfortable as possible . . . let him go home and die. Rayburn rallied in his general strength enough Friday to talk with Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson, his political protege. When Johnson started to leEjve, after only a few minutes in Rayburn’s room, Rayburn said, “Now Lyndon, stay around a little longer and let’s talk some more.” But Johnson gently put “Mr. Democrat” off in an effort to conserve the dying man’s strength. Johnson and President Kennedy asked the nation to pray for Rayburn when it was first learned the speaker has incurable cancer. The cancer was discovered Thursday at Baylor University Medical Center. Dr. Ralph Tompsett, director of internal medicine at Baylor, said Friday the remainder of Rayburn’s life “could be numbered in days.” Almost everything the doctor said pointed up the hopelessness of Rayburn’s case. “He’s a very sick man,” Dr. Tompsett said. “The only therapy now is to strengthen him.” I Decntnr Temperatures Local weather data for the 24 hour period ending at 11 a.m. today. 12 noon 62 12 midnight .. 48 1 p.m. 63 1 a m. 47 2 p.m 64 2 a.m. 46 3 p.m. 64 3 a.m45 4 p.m. 63 4 a.m. . . ....... 43 5 p.m 62 5 a.m42 6 p.m 60 6 a.m 42 7 p.m, 58 7 a m. 42 8 p.m 55 8 a.m. 50 9 p.m 53 9 a.m. 60 10 p.m. 51 10 am. 61: 11 p.m 50 11 a.m64 Rnln Total for the 24 hour period ending at 7 a.m.. today, 0 inches.

Deadlock On Berlin Tight

WASHINGTON (UPI) -The East-West deadlock over Berlin remained tight as ever today despite a two-hour conference between President Kennedy and Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko. Official sources said the meeting Friday night at the White House produced no “give” whatsoever. Kennedy, according to U.S. officials, emphasized that the West is as determined as ever to defend its rights in Berlin and its access to the Red-encircled city. He made it clear that he wanted Gromyko, who leaves for Moscow Monday, to emphasize this Allied stand to Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev. Restates Khrushchev’s Demand Gromyko, for his part, restated Khrushchev’s demand that any formal Berlin negotiations be based on Russia’s proposed peace treaty with Communist East Germany, the terms of which would jeopardize Allied access rights to Berlin. The United States has flatly re-

fused to negotiate on this restricted basis. American officials said the next effort to . break the diplomatic deadlock must come in Moscow after the U.S. ambassador to Russia Llew’elyn Z. Thompson, now here for consultations, returns to his post in about ten days. Await Khrushchev’s Speech They said Khrushchev’s intentions may become clearer in a speech he is expected to deliver at the 22nd congress of the Communist party of the Soviet Union, which begins Ott. 17. If there is some give on one side or the other within the next two or three weeks, diplomats expect this may lead to an EastWest foreign ministers’ meeting sometime in November. Secretary of State Dean Rusk, who sat in on the White House meeting, said afterward that it was “interesting” but more or less a “continuation” of the discussions he had with Gromyko earlier in New York.

Liner Missing In Pyrenees, 34 On Board CARACASSONNE, France (UPI) — A chartered British airliner with 34 persons abaord was missing today on a vacation flight over the Pyrenees mountains of southern France.

Series Moves To Cincinnati

CINCINNATI (UPI)-The thunder of batting practice swings by Mickey Mantle still rattled over tiny Crosley Field today when the New York Yankees prepared to send Bill Stafford against Cincinnati Red knucklebailer Bob Purkey in the third game of the World Series. It appears better than a 50-50 chance that Mantle’s return to the Yankee lineup would coincide with the return of the series to Cincinnati for the first time since 1940 when the Reds upset the Detroit Tigers in seven games. And all the signs indicated that if the mighty 54-homer slugger did not play today he would be in action in Sunday’s fourth game or Monday’s fifth game of the now-dead-locked series. Belts Seven Pitches Mantle’s imminent return to the already power - packed Yankee lineup was signalled Friday when the Yankees worked out in the picturesque little country ball park situated in a colorful Ohio Valley. The 6-foot, 200-pound blond slugger sent no less than seven balls hurtling over the right and left field fences in a display of power that awed some 500 fans and newsmen on hand to witness the workout. “It didn’t hurt a bit,” said Mantle, referring to the hip injury which caused him to be sidelined the first two games, and flashing perhaps his first smile in a week, he added “I’m going to try my best to play if I can.” Power Pleases Houk Yankee Manager Ralph Houk, aware that Mantle is sometimes over-optimistic about his physical abilities, was obviously pleased by the tremendous display of power but refused to commit himself over whether Mantle would play today. “You can’t tell with him be-

1,000 California Youths Stage Riot

ALHAMBRA, Calif. (UPI) — An estimated 1,000 youths staged four wild riots for about two hours early today in a five-block area of this suburban Los Angeles community, police reported. More than 100 law enforcement officers poured into town from surrounding communities to help quell the melee, in which police believed there were no serious injuries. The California highway patrol sped 15 radio cars to help cordon off the riot area and 50 sheriff's radio units from the Los Angeles area assisted them. Off-duty pdlicemen augmented by reserves streamed into Alhambra from the surrounding communities of San Gabriel, South San Gabriel, Pasadena, South Pasadena and Monterey Park. At least two busloads of youths — mostly teen-agers — were booked on a variety of charges and police estimated the finol number arrested probably would be about 100. “It’ll probably be in the wee hours of the morning before we’re through booking suspects,” said one busy officer. The melee erupted shortly after midnight at a drive-in restaurant when special policemen tried to break up a scuffle with some of the teenagers. Within minutes, four riots were going in the five-block area.

cause sometimes he stiffens up : overnight after thinking that he will be okay,” said Houk. “We just won’t know until he’s taken • batting practice before today’s game.’’ 1 A crowd of about 34,000 was expected to jam its way into Crosley Field by the 2 p.m. EDT, 1 starting time to see the first World Scries game played there since 1940. The little park was resplendent with fresh coats of orange. black and blue, its upper and lower tiers were decorated with red. white and blue bunting and all the approaches to it were marked by “Beat ’em. Reds” banners reminiscent of the “Beat ’em, Bucs,” signs which greeted the Yankees in Pittsburgh last season. Keep Same Lineups Both managers were sticking with their second-game lineups—with the exception, of course l , of i Houk in the event of Mantle's ' availability. That meant the YanI i kees would have Yogi Berra in >1 left field and the Reds would I have have 22-year-old Johnny Edi foards catching and Elio Chacon, I the Venezuelan part-time player whose daring dash for the plate ’ on Elston Howard’s passed ball ; gave the Reds their lead run in Thursday’s 6-2 victory, at second base. t Stafford. 23, is a hard-throwing right-hander, often compared by the Yankee front office to Allie Reynolds of previous World Series game, who had a 14-9 won-lost record this year. Purkey, 32, is a sinker and knuckleball specialist who had a 16-12 record with the Reds this year. “We wouldn’t mind,” said Cincinnati Manager Fred Hutchinson when asked if the Reds could wind up the series with three straight victories in their home park. “But imagine the Yankees have some ideas like that, too.”

i area were ordered closed immediately by authorities. Road blocks were set up to confine the rioters and authorities leaped into the ray and began making arrests, hauling the youths away in two buses. “We had 100 kids fighting 10 cops,” said one breathless policeman at the height of the battle. "It was spontaneous. We don’t know what started it. It just broke ou up and down the street. Another officer said the riot has been building up for some time. He said youths from throughout the Sangabriel Valley usually drive up and down the highways in auto caravans Friday and Saturday nights. “They broke out about the same time,” said one Alhambra policeman. Another said the [»lice switchboard was “lit up like a Christmas tree.” Short-lived Strike Aaaintf Airliiwc WASHINGTON (UPD—Naviga- ’ tors protesting new automatic equipment staged a short-lived strike today against Trans World Airlines. It lasted about an hour. A spokesman for the navigators said the strike was called off when the company agreed to stop testing the new automatic navigating device, intended for use on , overseas flights. He said—a picket line had formed at Idlewild A irix >rt in New York* Plans for similar action in other cities were cancelled when quick agreement was reached with the company. The Transport Workers Union is National Transport Workers Union. A previous strike threat earlier this week was headed off when President Kennedy set up a special emergency board to investigate the. dispute. A spokesman for the navigators said the company had continued to teat the navigation device, leading to the strike action. The Transpor Workers Union is headed by New York labor leader Michael Quill. There are 66 navigators working for TWA bur other unions were expected to honor the picket lines. * The union has charged that TWA plans to eliminate navigators on overseas flights by allowing co-pilots to operate the automatic devices. According to the union, other airlines have installed the devices but retained navigators to operate them.
