Parliament To Recess After * By SEYMOUR TOPPING LONDON (# — Parliament got ready to close shop for the sum- mer recess today after according Prime Minister Churchill a 10-1 confidence vote on his plan to pull British troops from the Suez Canal zone. Most Laborites abstained on the ballot. The House of Commons backed the prime minister’s historic de- cision by a vote of 257-26 after Churchill made an impassioned declaration that the H-bomb had rendered the billion dollar, 75-year- old string of bases obsolete. Both Commons and the House of Lords, which also debated the controversial Suez iss begin their summer recess today. They will not reconvene until October. Churchill, who in World War I remarked he had not become prime minister in order to liqui- date the empire, declared yester- day the whole British position in the Suez had been outdated by “the appalling developments and the appalling spectacles which imagination raises before us.” Obsolete Base “Merely to try to imagine in outline how to portray the first few weeks of a war as it is now. , , would convince you of the obsoles- cence of the base,’’ he asserted. The agreement, which has strong U.S. support, calls for the transfer of 83,000 British troops from their Suez base within 20 months after a seven-year pact is signed, The pact will give Britain the right to reoccupy the base in case of attack on Turkey or any of the eight Arab nations, Civilian care- takers under contract to Britain will keep up the great installations dominating the vital waterway. A group of 40 rebellious Con- servatives had threatened to break the party tracees over the prospect of seeing another portion of the empire pass out of British hands, But in the final test, only 26 Tories voted against the government. DIPLOMATIC CRISIS (Continued From Page One) dote. Termed “A Lot of Corn.” “We are not sure that this jew- fish was of the size the story re- lates — to wit: 400-pounds. In our country that is a lot of corn. We “Please advise us by wire so that we will not be further mis- led as we are selling the merits of the Florida keys to our neigh- bor Iowans and stories of this na- ture, if proven untrue, will cause our neighbors to settle in the state of Minnesota rather than Florida —which has as many fresh water lakes as Minnesota in addition to beautiful keys and bridges. “We, who have sojourned in Florida several times, know of its merits, but if purveyors of false information about the land of our fondest dreams are proved to be false, and misleading and not based on fact, we will remain in the land where corn will produce 80-gallons to the acre and let Flor- ida go by the boards. Want Documents “We hope that you will furnish us with substantiated, notarized, attested evidence that the jewfish recently alleged to have been cap- tured by you and one other official of your town will be furnished post-haste as we are contemplating in the near future of becoming members of the southernmost city in the U. S. and do not want to jeopardize our reputation for truth. fulness and do not wish to be associated with people who are not known by all and sundry to tell the truth, the whole truth, so help you God,” Yours “respectively” Edith Gilchrist, C. H. Gilchrist, Ethel Gemricher, Marvin Gemricher. Mrs. Graham's reply: “Dear People: “Our good friend, Ray Knopp, being completely nonplussed by your letter of July 17th, has re- ferred it to the Key West Cham- ber of Commerce with appropriate comments expressing surprise— and chagrin—that there are still people in these United States so unenlightened as to balk at a story about a 400-pound fish from these waters. Bystanders Bored “Please believe that if it had even remotely occurred to us that the truth of Ray’s statement, con- cerning the landing of a 400-pound Jewfish, would be questioned—as- suredly we would have taken pic- tures of this fish and gathered signed (and notarized) statements from the bored (by its diminutive size) bystanders. “In these parts, a 400-pound Jewfish is among the smaller ones —in fact, there are those who felt it should have been thrown back and allowed to attain its full growth. (It was kept and weighed only for the benefit of a visiting party of Iowans who happened to Nicaragua Moves | Armored Units To Costa Rica Border MANAGUA, Nicaragua (#—Nica- ragua moved armored units up to her border with Costa Rica today as the government angrily charged that Costa Rican border guards had damaged a Nicaraguan patrol plane with rifle fire. President Anastasio Somoza said a mile-long convoy of armored cars and tanks which he sent from Ma- nagua yesterday “was going to the border to defend Nicaragua's terri- tory.” The two Central American repub- lies’ long wrangle over border vio- lations became tense this week as incidents and accusations mounted. Nicaraguan Foreign’ Minister Os- car Sevilla Sacasa declared yes- terday that if Costa Ri¢an Preni- dent Jose Figueres “wants war, he will have it. The patience of our government is not unlimited.” In its latest protest note, Nicara- gua charged the aircraft was fired on while flying yesterday along the San Juan River, the boundary be- tween the two countries. The elec- trical control system of the plane's left engine was reported damaged. Official reports said the plane was en route from Managua to the San Juan River Delta to pro- tect an infantry patrol, Disaster Strikes Happy Child As Mother Watches DETROIT (# — “Beanie” didn’t have a chance. Beanie was the cherub-faced daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Benedict. Her real name was Jean. She was little more than three. Beanie was playing with a dozen other children in the front yard of her northwest Detroit home yes- terday. Her mother had just called her to lunch. As she left her playmates and headed for the house, a parked milk truck started rolling down a hill, It veered off the curb-less street, knocked over three boxes of rubbish on the lawn next door | °: and roared into the Benedict yard. “By then, Beanie had started running toward me,” Mrs, Bene- dict sobbed. “She was smiling.” The truck rolled over little Beanie’s body. She died almost in- stantly, Another child, Amy Allen, 5, suffered a bruised leg. The other children escaped unharmed, Earl L. Woods, a popular milk- man in the area and father of three children, ran to Mrs. Benedict, cry- ing: “I've killed your baby! killed your baby!” Weeping openly at police head- quarters, Woods said he left the truck motor running but set the hand brake. He was released after questioning. Elgin Watch Employes Drop Wage Demands _ELGIN, Ill. w—About 4,000 El- gin National Watch Co. employes in Elgin and Lincoln, Neb., have decided to drop wage demands because of President Eisenhower's order which boosted the tariff on imported watch movements by 50 per cent. Walter W. Cenerazzo, president of the American Watch Makers, announced yesterday his union al- so has cancelled a wage increase request for its workers in the Wal- tham, Mass., plant of the Wal- tham Watch Co. because of the President's action, The union has been negotiating with Elgin for a new contract, asking higher wages, increased hospitalization and surgical costs, and settlement of seniority and transfer issues. Cenerazzo said the union be- lieves the best way for the indus- try to get a better share of the market, in view of the President’s action, is “to forego any general wage increase or wage re-opening for a period of one year.” QUAKES RECORDED NEW YORK (# — Two earth- quakes, approximately 5,500 miles from New York city and Possibly in Chile, were recorded on the Fordham University seismograph today. I've eee unable to furnish the documentary proof you request. This particular arta simply too small to bother with. Picture Promised “If, however, you would like a Picture of a Jewfish, we believe we can obtain one (still on the small side, tho'—about .750.

Mr. Dior is an experienced designer and a recognized innovator, but maybe he doesn’t realize that it’s difficult for a woman to look flat, slender and boyish when she is built like a woman and prefers to look like a woman.” Oleg Cassini, New York designer and former husband of movie star Gene Tierney, was indignant when told of the Dior decree to banish the bustline.’Said he: ; “any time you tamper with a woman’s figure, you’re headed for trouble. You cannot impose an old line on a modern figure. Years ago, during the flapper era, living was different, ideas were different. This new idea is not only unflatter* ing but also unhealthy.” “Natural Beauty” - An indignant reaction came also from an American ‘bra manufac: turer who attended the Dior show- ing in Paris, Henry Plehn, presi: | dent of Peter Pan Foundations, cabled his New York office: “American women will not be bound by Dior's anti-bust edict. This is the worst form of retro- gression, since women have spent the last 20 years getting their- fig- ures in shape. ‘ “American men won't , Dior’s restrictions lightly. And I’m astonished at Dior’s flagrant flout- ing of the Frenchman’s traditional ery, ‘Vive le difference!’ ” : le.

Some of them appear to be simply dress- length cardigans.

Walter Price was thanked for arranging transportation for the Boy Scouts who are attending the Snapper Creek Camp in Miami. Visiting Rotarians and guests were introduced by Hunt and wel- comed by the president. There were five visiting Rotarians and several guests. TOMORROW, 8 P.M.
