Big 3 Will Urge Start Of Peace Parley By EDDY GILMORE GENEVA #—The Big Three Western powers decided today to propose to the Communists that the Indochinese peace talks begin tomorrow afternoon. The last apparent obstacle for the opening of the talks was re- moved when the French agreed to have the chairmanship rotate be- tween British Foreign Secretary Eden and Soviet Foeign | ry: Minister Vyacheslav M. Molotov. This was understood to be satis- factory to the Communists. The Western powers agreed to have W. D. Allen, British undersec- retary of state for foeign affairs, notify Soviet Deputy Foreign Min- ister Andrei Gromyko that the West is ready to meet tomorrow. It had been arranged several days ago that the meeting would be convened whenever the Western delegations were ready. Final strategy was discussed at a midday conference of Eden, French Foreign Secretary Georges Bidault and Undersecretay of State Walte Bedell Smith. French sources said Bidault planned to open the conference with a state- ment about the plight of the sick and wounded at beleaguered Dien Bien Phu. These sources said, however, Bidault did not want the question of a Dien Bien Phu truce to be discussed by the conference. France has taken the position that this should be discussed by the two sides on the spot and .1ot here. News of the agreement on the chairmanship came as the East- West delegates returned to their deadlocked debate on Korea after a three-day recess. But the two- week-old try for unification of that war torn peninsula appeared near its expected unproductive end. Philippines Vice President Car- los P. Garcia rejected Communist proposals on Korea as being “in conflict” with the settlement pro- posed by the United Nations. Lead- ing the resumed debate, the Philip- pine leader also attacked Red China’s claim to speak for Asia as “downright presumption.” Garcia hotly defended the United States from Communist charges of imperialism in Asia. Referring to the U. S. grant of in- dependence to the Philippines after World War II, he said “‘let the Filipinos bear witness before the world that such a charge is a vio- Tent distortion of history.” Despite the Western belief the last hurdle had been cleared for the start of the Indochina talks, a potentially jarring note was inject- ed by an official spokesman for Red China, Huang Hua. He told newsmen his delegation at the opening session would de- mand admission of the Communist “governments” of Laos and Cam- bodia, as well as such other ‘‘inter- ested states,” including India, Indonesia and Burma. The West considers the “Com- munist regimes” of Laos and Cam- bodia are virtually nonexistent, A French spokesman said his government would refuse to sit at the same conference with repre- sentatives of “phantom regimes which exist only in the imagination of the Vietminh.” DEATH MRS. MARY DOCKERY The body of Mrs. Mary Dockery, 38, who died Wednesday at her re- sidence, 119-D Peary Court, was sent today by the Pritchard Fun- eral Home to Salt Lake City, Utah, for funeral services and burial in the family plot. She is survived by the husband, Olan L. Dockery and two children. ‘ When potassium vapor is burned it produces a violet flame. Duels in the modern sense were not known in the ancient world. NO DOWN PAYMENT | gq” THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Page 7 Civilian Pilots Are Killed In Indochina Crash SAIGON, Indochina W—A Fly- “ing Boxcar blew up yesterday on a supply drop mission to besieged Dien Bien Phu, killing its two American civilian pilois and. the French crew chief. One of the Ameri » James B. (Earthquake McGoon) McGovern 32, of Eliabeth, N.J., was one of the most famous and intrepid air- line pilots in the Far East. The Chinese Communists had held him captive for five months in 1950 after he crash-landed in Red terri- The other American killed was Wallace Abbott Buford 28, of Og- den, Utah, who narrowly escaped death 10 days ago when his plane was riddled by AA fire, which wounded the American pilot with him. An official French command an- nouncement said the cause of the explosion was not known but un- official observers thought possibly it had been hit by Vietminh anti- aircraft fire. McGovern and Buford were among a group of some 25 U.S. civilian pilots, employed by re- tired Gen. Claire Chennault’s Civil Air Transport; who are flying the transports the United States has supplied the Fench air force. The American civilians are paid $35 a flying hour above their regu- lar airline pay. From at least three previous mis- sions over the embattled fortress, McGovern had returned with his big C119 iddled with machinegun and rifle bullets. “He’s leading a charmed life,” said other pilots. McGovern’s 250 pounds and ami- able disposition were responsible for his nickname. Fleet Reserve Paper Rates High Praise “The Word,” official monthly newspaper of Key West Branch 56, Fleet Reserve Association, receiv- ed high praise recently from the National Vice President of the Association, Michael Catania, Speaking before the members of the local branch at the regular business meeting, Catania stated, “A feature of your Branch is ‘The Word” — your excellent monthly publication edited by your secre- tary. This has no equal among branches of the Fleet Reserve As- sociation.” Edited by Tom Anastasia, secre- tary-treasurer of the local branch, the newspaper has enjoyed great success and popularity in its first year of publication. Anastasia has a long background of experience in newspaper work, having been edi- tor of and served on the staffs of several Navy publications dur- ing the last 16 years. It was he who conceived the idea of publish- ing “The Word” replacing the old mimeographed bulletin. The paper is printed by The Art- man Press here. 1500 copies are mailed each month to members of the local branch, national officers, and other branches of the Fleet Reserve Association. High praise and recognition has been received for the paper from national head- quarters, as well as from other branches of the associatioa throughout the world. Several arti- cles, particularly editorials, have been reprinted in other branch newspapers as well as several ci- vilian daily newspapers. Local merchants support the pub lication through purchase of adver- tising space. GIVING OF GAMMA (Continued from Page One) na School had not reported the number to the health clinic.

Collins Gets ( e “e By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS State Sen. LeRoy Collins gets a head start on Acting Gov. Charley Johns today in wooing the Brailey Odham vote that will elect one of them Florida’s next governor. While Johns rested, conferred with supporters and transacted state business at his home in state business at his home in Starke, Collins flew south to begin his second primary campaign in Populous Miami. The acting governor who led the firstprimary by 32,000 votes does- n’t plan to take the stump again until Monday. Where hasn’t been decided. Collins will make his opening talk over WTVJ-TV of Miami at 6:45 p. m. Another TV address is planned later in the night. He will go to Hillsborough and Pinellas counties Saturday, hit Jacksonville Monday and swing back to Tampa Tuesday. At stake in the second primary campaigning which ends May 25 is the 185,000-plus votes Odham rolled up when he ran third in the first primary Tuesday. Odham has pledged his support to Collins, but Johns has predicted he will get ‘a vast majority” of the defeated candidate’s votes be- cause “the people who voted for Odham are the same kind of little people who supported me.” Yesterday at Tallghassee, his home, Collins sought to weld Od- ham’s North Florida campaign or- ganization to his own. His aides said at least one Odham leader from each of thé 30 counties in the third and eighth congressional districts attended a meeting of Collins workers to plan a second primary organization down to the precinct level. “We're not going to get caught short in North Florida this time,” Collins told the meeting. He led in only two of the 30 counties—his home county of Leon and next- door Jefferson. : Johns left Jacksonville yesterday to join his family in Starke. Jerome Johns, who is managing his fath- er’s campaign, said that earlier plans to begin stumping at Tampa Saturday were cancelled “‘because the family thought rest was more important for him at this time.” The acting governor will remain at home today, tomorrow and Sun- day. Several conferences with campaign lieutenants and local committees from various parts of the state are scheduled. Also a stack of official letters and papers from Tallahassee will take some of his attention. Johns said he hopes to get “a little rest squeezed, in.” STEVENS TELLS OF (Continued from Page One) were going to do something,” Stevens said. In response to McCarthy’s urg- ing to be specific, Stevens cited what he called Cohn’s “declaration of war” against the Army after Cohn was denied admittance to a secret radar laboratory at Ft. Mon- mouth on Oct. 20 and a meeting he had with Cohn and Carr at his Pentagon office on Nov. 16, McCarthy said that while Cohn was denied admittance to the radar laboratories “Commies have free access.” “I say Commies do not have free access to those laboratories,” Stevens flared.

Seven couples were paired off last night but there’s some difficulty in matching up the other five pair. The 24 men and women are civil servants who oppose govern- ment regulations giving higher wages to married or divorced em- ployes. They decided on a mass wedding, followed by an immediate mass diyorce, to dramatize their demand for a single pay standard. Married, the workers would get from $314 to $410 more each year, depending upon their rank. The men and women agreed to trek to the altar together June 10, have a glorious wedding breakfast, and then rush off to the divorce courts. Since it was to be a business arrangement, the ringleaders an- ticipated no trouble in partner picking. After a meeting last night, however, Verner Overoe, the cus- toms officer organizing the excur- sion into mass matrimony, still had 10 prospects to sort out. It was conceded they didn’t cor- respond very well in age or sym- pathies. “Tl try to match them,” Over- oe said, “and will see to it the situation won’t be too grotesque.” Justice Minister Hans Haekker- up conceded that the mass wedding would be legal, even if divorce had been agreed on beforehand, and iwould result in pay raises.
