The junta was headed by Col. Oscar Mendoza Azurdia, with Cols. Gonzalo Yurrita Novoa and Roberto Lorenzana as the other members. The decision to dissolve the provisional Arturo Gonzales Lopez was made af^er several hours of discussion at Army high command headquarters. The junta then took over the government at 3 a. m. Col. Mendoza, the head of the ruling junta, was undersecretary of national defense. The move by the milita’-y came after riotous crowds threatened to turn the streets of Guatemala into a battleground. Shortly before the army acted, mobs broke up an emergency session of Congress which was called Wednesday night to act on a move by President Gonzalez to throw out the results of last Sunday’s disputed elections.

Police Seminar Schedule Listed
A first of 10 Homicide Investigation Seminars for city, county and state authorities will open in Indianapolis on Monday October 28 under Indiana State Police sponsorship. The Indianapolis program will begin at 1 p. m. at the east room of the War Memorial, according to Lt. Charles A. Davis and Sgt. Robert L. Van Dyke, coordinators of the seminars. The police, legal and medical aspects of invefrtigating homicide will be presented “to stimulate cooperation between official groups in combating this type of crime,” Lieutenant Davis said. Police and related agencies will be shown the importance of the interchange of information,
he added.
Speakers will include Professor Richard Myren, chairman of th 1. Department of State Police investigation division. The medical approach will be handled on a regional basis by the following physicians: Paul V. Evans and Edward B. Smith, Indianapolis; James M. McFadden, Lafayette; Lall C. Montgomery, Muncie and R. P. Reynolds, Garrett. Other programs, all to begin at. 1 p. m., are listed b^low: Nov. 4 Brazil Court House. October 29 Fraternal Order of Police Hall, Muncie.
Dr. John B. Thompson admitted at a DePauw chapel yesterday morning that “the word of God is important” but insisted that its importance lies in the fact that “it is spoken to and for men by other men.” Speaking in Gobin Memorial Church, the University of Chicago’s dean of chapels also told his listeners that “God is not the god of magic, not a god to oe coaxed and bribed.” He referred to the danger of slipping back to the comfortable attitude of complete trust and termed much of the current re- ! vivahsm as “nothing more than a return to the primitive.” Automatic and uncritical use of incantation as a response to insecurity is a sign of immature religion. Dr. Thompson said, with incantation being used as a substitute for criticism or analysis. Although no man is free from insecurity, the speaker continued, the mature individual does not deal with it “ by taking the religious aspirin put out by Dr.
Pcale.”
“The difference between mature and immature is found not in external manifestations but in attitudes,” Dr. Thompson commented, ‘‘and no man is mature until he can accept criti-
cism.”
He agreed that religion cannot be put on a purely rational basis but warned that “in insecurity man dares not find comfort in anything which does not include reason.”

Cold, Snow Due In Many Areas
WASHINGTON UP — President Eisenhower’s choice of William P. Rogers to succeed Herbert Brownell Jr., as Attorney General portends no change in the Justice Department’s firm civil rights policy, informed sources said today. But the surprise White House announcement had Washington buzzing with speculation as to the possible significance of the
shift.
Brownell, who will bow out as the administration’s top law cnforcinent officer around the second week in November, disavowed any political ambitions. He said he will rejoin his former law firm of Lord. Day and Lord of New York City. Once in private life, however, he would be fre>' to resume his role as former New York Gov. Thomas E. Dewey’s political strategist—or his own. ANOTHER HALF INCH OF RAIN RECORDED TODAY
MONTECATINI TERME, Italy UP — Christian Dior, the mild mannered fashion czar whose merest whim could change hemlines for ten million women died of a heart attack shortly before i midnight Wednesday night. The 52-yt'ar-old bachelor rose to his greatest fame shortly after the war when he unveiled the long-skirted “new look” that substituted what he called the “peacetime grace and charm of a woman in a long skirt” for tne kneelength dresses of World War
II.
He remained at the top of the rarefied world of “haute couture"—the high style that mad*: Paris synonomous with fashion. He did it with succeeding “A” looks, "H” looks and this year’s new "Sack look” which puts :
formless.
Below freezing tempera-tures and occasional snow today shrouded much of the region from the northwestern Great Lakes through the Dakotas and Montana and into northern Id£-
ho.
Cooler air swept as far south as Texas and east through the Great Lakes and Mississippi Valley, sending overnight readings skidding nearly 15 degrees to the
40s.
Moderate rainfall, amounting to about three-fourths inch, doused most areas in the Ohio Valley and the Great Lakes Wednesday night. Rain also was general over the east during the night from Alabama to New England. Light showers prevailed in the Northwest and southward along the coast into central California. The rain turned to freezing drizzle in the Montana Rockies. Forecasters predicted the cooler *air will push into New England today and into the western portion of the Mid and South Atlantic Coast States.
Hof fa To Fight Union's Ouster
WASHINGTON UP — The AF”L-CIO Executive Council appeared ready to suspend the Teamster Union today and urge its explusion from the big laboi
federation.
Teamsters President - Elect James R. Hoffa planned to fight ’■xplusion in a final appeal on be half of his 1,400,000-member mion, the nation’s largest. Hoffa and other top officials were called before the 29-man council to report what the union nas done about an AFL-CIO clean up order issued Sept. 25. The Council will meet at 2 p.
in., EDT.
Teamster sources said Hoffa planned to ask for a year's time to bring his union in line with AFL-CIO cleanup demands. The AFL-CIO Council virtually ordered the union to get rid of Hoffa and incumbent President Dave Beck as well as Brewster and Brennan if it wanted to staj. in the AFL-CIO. Beck who did not seek reclection, is staying in the presidency pending disposal of a court suit seeking to nullify Hoffa’s election. AFL-CIO sources said it was unlikely Hoffa would remove himself from the top job as demanded by the council.
BASIL RATHBONE TO RE GUEST OF UNIVERSITY TOMORROW Actor Basil Rathbone will visit the DePauw University campus heie Friday for a special convocation appearance at 10 a. m. in Gobin Memorial Church. Scheduled to present a series of dramatic sketches and readings, he is known throughout the world as the Sherlock Holmes of the motion picture media.

During the 1957 season he has been sem in television peiformances of "The Stingiest Man on Earth” and “The Lark,” in addition to appearing on the Edward R. Murrow and Mike W'allace interview shows. ’He proved his versatility last year by playing Pasha Selim in “The Abduction from the Seraglio,” which includes the only major speaking role written for an opera, and Oberon in “Midsummer Night’s Dream.” * After beginning his career with a Shakespearean company, Rathbone made his London debut as a star in “Peter Ibbetson” and was brought to New York in 1922 for a production of “The Czarina.” Subsequent New York leads were assigned to him in “The Swan,” “Command to Love,” “The Heiress,” and numerous other plays. In addition to the Sherlock Holmes series, he has been featured in such motion pictures as "Anna Kercnina,” “David Copperfiled,” and “The Tale of Two

Doty will speak on ministerial i car d ' n the East-West race for
nuclear and space superiority. Eisenhower and Maxunillan began talks Wednesday night on scl cntific unity. Their first conference began at 6 p. m. EDT and conchided at 9:30 p. m. There was no announcement of what took place. Further talks were
scheduled today.
Close attention is being paid to the war-jittery Middle East and a careful review of Soviet intentions around the glove, as well aa the issue of East-West military and scientific supremacy. Russia’s decision to send one of its top military commanders to take charge of Soviet troops on the Russian-Turkish border, announced Wednesday, was considered likely to come up in the disenssions. British diplomats were reported gravely concerned about appointment of Red Army Marshal Konstantin Rokossovsky to what previously was deemed a minor border post. The dramatic firing of the Air Force rocket to 1,000-4,000 miles ever the Pacific was almost certain to create a new surge of optimism in the ability of the United States and the West to match or outstrip Russia in the race for
space supremacy.
Added to this was other announcements of new U. 8. strides in the ’ modern weapons field. These included the successful testing of a 1.500-mile Jupiter missile, disclosure of an atomic depth charge for combatting Soviet submarines and the test firing of a Vanguard missile which eventually will carry a U. S. satel-
lite into space.

HY I KITED I’M ESS Flu fatalities across the nation approached 300 today, boosted by a mounting death toll in four state institutions. The worst outbreak has claimed 13 lives at the Pennhurst State School for Retarded Children near Philadelphia. The institution counted one new death
Wednesday.
Similar flu outbreaks have killed 10 persons each in a state School for Retarded Children at Dixon, Illinois, and at a California institution for the retarded. Five persons died at a state school in Rome, N. Y. Throughout the nation, United Press counted 290 deaths blamed on flu and its complications since last summer when the first case of Asian flu was confirmed in
the country.
The toll included New York 62 deaths, Pennsylvania 54, California 30. Michigan 27. Louisiana 21, Illinois 17, Iowa 11, Colorado and Utah 10 each, Ohio and Ha-

Wisconsin 8, Kentucky 6, Indiana and New Jersey 3 each, Connecticut 2, and 1 each in Arizona, Minnesota, Maine, Oklahoma, Oregon, Washington and the District of Columbia. Illinois state Welfare Director Otto Bettag ordered a ban on visitors at all 25 state schools and state hospitals in an un-
