Leading Algerian Diplomat To U. N.

ALGIERS (UPI) —The Algerian government announced today that it is sending top diplomat M’Hammed Yazid to the United Nations in a move that appeared to end hopes of a ouick settlement of the Algeri-an-Moroccan border dispute. A government spokesman said Yazid would fly to Paris this evening and then on to New York Saturday morning. He gave no hint of whether Yazid planned to lay the border dispute before the world body. (In Casablanca today Moroccan Foreign Minister Ahmed Balajfrej said Morocco would defend its ’ claims to the disputed desert territory before any international body). Yazid, former information minister in the defunct Algerian provisional ’ government and spokesman for Algeria at the United Nations before the nation won independence, Was a key member in the team which Algerian President Ahmed Ben Bella sent to Morocco to negotiate with King Hassan. The negotiations ended in deadlock and the Algerian team returned to Algiers Thursday night. Yazid said he was pessimistic about the chances of an early settlement. The action came as informed sources said Algeria might break diplomatic relations with Morocco because of the border flare-up which threatens to burst into full-scale war. Cease-fire negotiations in Marrakech, Morocco, ended in deadlock Thursday and the two

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ADAMS COUNTY

Algerian negotiators returned here Thursday night, accompanied by Saad Dahlab, Algerian ambassador to Morocco. Fighting was reported still going bn in the early morning hours today in the disputed Sahara Desert region about 700 miles southwest of Algiers. (Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia planned to meet privately with Morocco’s King Hassan II in Marrakech tonight in an apparent peace bid. Selassie arrived in Morocco on a state visit Thursday.) Radio Algiers announced Thursday night that 6,000 Moroccan soldiers, supported by planes, tanks, armored cars and heavy weapons, had captured the border outpost of Tinnjoub Wednesday, forcing 500 Algerian defenders to retreat. The announcement said the Algerian forces fell back towards Hassi Beida, already under Moroccan attack nine miles to the west. Both sides claim the outposts lie in their own territory. And both sides were using Soviet-supplied MIG fighter planes. (Reports from Morocco said a Moroccan air force MIG jet shot dowm an Algerian MIG piloted by an Egyptian Thursday.) M’Hammed Yazid, chief truce negotiator for„ President. Ahmed Ben Bella, said on his return from Marrakech Thursday night, “we regret to say that we have not come to a solution.”

INDIANA WEATHER Partly cloudy, continued mild tonight and Saturday with occasional thundershowers likely tonight, probably ending Saturday forenoon. Low tonight 55 to 60. High Saturday 74 to 84. Sunset today 6:02 p. m. Sunrise Saturday 6:59 a. m. Outlook for Sunday: Partly cloudy and conttaued mild. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 70s north, low 80s south. Film On Smoking Will Show Monday “Is Smoking Worth It?” is the title of the film to be shown Monday evening by the Adams county chapter of the American Cancer society. The film will be shown in the Indiana & Michigan social room, beginning at 7:30 p. m., and the general public is invited to attend. There is no admission charge. A Cancer society pamphlet entitled “To Smoke or Not To Smok£?” lists the following: Lung cancer today kills approximately 40.000 persons in the United States annually. The death rate from lung cancer is almost nine times what it was 30 years ago, and the increase is continuing at a rate unequalled by any other disease. Unfortunately, it is difficult to diagnose lung cancer in time for cure. Only about five per cent of all cases are being cuj-ed today. Also listed in the pamphlet the foltowing figures: Annual lung cancer death rates were ten times as high among regular smokers as among those who never smoked. Among twp-pack-a-day smokers the rate was more than 20 times as high as among nonsmokers'. The lung cancer death rate of cigar and pipe smokers was much lower than the death rate of cigarette smokers; and that “no one can predict what will happen to any individual but, in general, those who smoke less, live longer.”

LONDON (UPI) — Prime Minister Harold Macmillan resigned today and Queen Elizabeth immediately named Foreign Secretary Lord Home to replace him and try to form a new government. Home’s selection appeared to be the result of a compromise because bitterly fighting Con-' servative party leaders apparently were unable to choose between Deputy Prime Minister R. A. (RAB) Butler and Science Minister Lord Hailsham. The quick series of events today ended eight days of battling within the party ranks. But it remained to be seen how deep the disaffection remained against Home as he sought to form a government. First Macmillan sent his private secretary to Buckingham Palace with his resignation. Then the Queen paid the ailing Macmillan a farewell visit at King Edward VII hospital where he is recuperating from a prostate gland operation. Next, the Queen summoned Lord Home to the palace. Shortly after he left, the palace issued a brief announcement saying: “The queen has received the Earl of Home in audience and invited him to form an administration.” An hour and a half after leaving the queen, Lord Ilome reached the official prime ministerial residence at No. 10 Downing Street following a leisurely lunch at his home. “As you know,” he told waiting newsmen and a crowd outside, “her majesty has asked me to form an administration and so now, for the rest of the afternoon, I shall be seeing my colleagues and consulting with them. — i “It is a great honor to be asked to do this and I think I had better get on with the work of forming a government. I shall be busy the rest of the day.” Most Conservative leaders withheld immediate comment on Lord Home’s selection. But a few were critical. One, Sir Gerald Nabarro, a strong supporter of Lord Hailsham, was bitter. However, Conservative M P. Nigel Birch said Home “is absolutely the best man for the job.” There was wide belief that Home’s choice as 1 a compromise candidate was made in hopes of averting a dangerous Conservative party split — especially now, when the new prime minister must lead the party into general elections before next October in the face of a united Labor party which is favored in current polls to win a majority of seats in the next parliament. Home is an earl and thus a member of the House of Lords, not Commons. To become an effective premier, he must resign his seat in the Lords and run for Commons. Although the queen is not bound to follow any recommendations for a successor to Macmillan, no monarch since Queen Victoria has turned down a majority party recommendation. Unmanned Satellite Launched By Russia MOSCOW (UPI) — The Soviet Union today launched into orbit the 20th in a series of unmanned space satellites designed to prepare the way for additional manned flights, the official Tass News Agency said. The “Sputnik” — nicknamed “Cosmos 20” — — is the latest research vehicle in a program announced by Nikita Khrushchev during an election speech he gave March 16, 1962. Tass said "Cosmos 20” carried a radio transmitter operating on a frequency of 19.995 megahertz, “a radio system for accurate measurement of orbital elements: and a radio telemetric system for relaying to earth data on the functioning of the equipment and scientific instrumentation.”

Confidence In U. S. Is Lost

SAIGON, South Viet Nam, (UPI) — Ngo Dinh Nhu, brother and political adviser of President Ngo Dinh Diem, said Thursday that the Vietnamese people “have lost confidence in the United States.” Ngo, like his wife Mme. Ngo Dinh Nhu a frequent critic of U.S. policy here, repeated charges that U.S. intelligence officials tried to stage a coup against the Ngo family. He spoke to a group of foreign newsmen in an interview at the presidential palace amid new Communist claims of victories in the guerrilla war against Diem’s government. Broadcasts from Hanoi, North Viet Nam, claimed that the Communist Viet Cong guerrillas have killed or captured 75,731 enemy troops — including 600 Americans — in the first nine months of this year. Destroy Aircraft, Hamlets They claimed 350 aircraft shot down or hit and the destruction of 4,752 “strategic hamlets;” a series of fortified villages developed by Nhu. Ngo told the visiting newsmen he could not understand why the United States has “initiated a process of disintegration at a time when we are winning” the war against the Communist.

“People here are wondering what the United States is doing,” he said. “There is an atmosphere of distrust. People have lost confidence in the United States.” He said Buddhist leaders arrested after the government’s crackdown last August claimed “half a dozen” employees of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency and other U.S. civilian agencies in Viet Nam had urged them to stage a coup against the Ngo family and had incited Buddhists to commit suicide. Says Trust Gone Ngo said the trust that once existed between the U.S. and Vietnamese governments “has ceased to exist now.” He said the same was true of “relations between the United States and the whole of the underdeveloped world.” He did not elaborate. Ngo criticized the U.S. Curtailment of commercial aid to Viet Nam, part of the $1.5 million the (United States was spending daily here. He said if the suspension of commercial aid continues, “it will certainly affect the war effort” and would force his government to dig into its foreign exchange reserves.

Movie Industry Is Outlined To Rotary Roy Kalver described the motion picture business in his classifaction talk to the Decatur Rotary Club at its weekly meeting held Thursday evening at the Decatur Youth and Community Center. Kalver said that the motion picture business was everybody’s business with many fan . magazines describing it. He said Hollywood divorces were actually no more numerous than those which occur in. any city of the same size but the excessive publicity given them over-emphasize them. He also added that as a city it has a high percentage of church membership and gives more than average to charity. Motion pictures came to Decatur in 1905 when John Stoneburner started a show on South Second St., where the present Pioneer Restaurant is located. It was only the third such establishment in Indiana . Later other houses, including the Crystal, Grand, Rex, Mecca, Lyric, and Cort were operated in the uptown area. The Kalver family purchased the old Adams on Madison Street from Von Grant in 1926. Roy Kalver worked for a treater chain in Chicago and Detroit for. ten years after his graduation from the University of Illinois. The present Adams theater is a remodeled building formerly occupied by the Waring Glove Co. TV Hurt Movies Television competition hurt the movie industry in 1948 and over 5000 theaters closed throughout the country. Following World War 11, drive-in movies became popular. The industry has reacted to TV competition with longrun pictures, those with adult appeal, and wide-screen spectaculars. Pay-as-you-watch television has not been successful to date. American movies have been extremely popular in foreign countries, . but movie markers found it difficult to recover their fees because American dollars were not available. Also, they found it cheaper to product overseas. Several American Westerns were recently produced in Spain cheaper than they could be made here. The speaker said that there were only 175 pictures produced last year as compared to over 500 made per year previously. He said there were 5,000 new treaters now being built or planned and that the industry feels the American public is tiring of television. Alan Kalver and Gregg McEwan are student guests during October. The club’s next ladies night will be Nov. 14 with an international theme. Aaron Allmandinger Is Killed By Train Aaron L.

address the United Nations General Assembly, Tito held two meetings Thursday with President Kennedy at the White House during a sixhour visit to Washington. At a neys conference before he returned to Williamsburg, he said he believed both East and West now realize they must •‘follow the path*of negofiatidn” '* on cold war issues. Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev also shares this opinion, he said. A joint communique issued by Kennedy and Tito after their "cordial and friendly” talks expressed hope for further improvement in relations between Yugoslavia and the United States. It specifically mentioned trade, as well as cultural and scientific contacts. During the two sessions in Washington, Kennedy offered surplus U. S. barracks to house 10,000 homeless victims of the earthquake that nearly leveled the city of Skopje last July 25, killing thousands. The barracks formerly were used in France. The - communique also expressed the two leaders' agreement that the nuclear test ban< treaty was a "significant initial step in lessening international tension,” and it said they “reaffirmed their strong support for the United Nations ... ” Tito said Kennedy had accepted an invitation to visit Yugoslavia, but that no date had been set for the trip. U. S. sources reported that there was no present plan for such a visit, but said Kennedy.* expressed “a desire” to make the trip in the future.
