US. Will Air Its Views On Tuesday, October 12,1956 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Defense Secretary Is Center Dedication Is Disarmament _|OfStorm Over Labor Comment |Well Attended By TOM HOGE UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. ® — The United States prepared to air its views on disarmament today in the wake of Russian demands that the Western Powers match Kremlin ‘“‘concessions” on the controversial arms question. U.S, Delegate James J. Wads- worth was slated to lead off to- day’s debate in the U.N.’s 60-na- tion Political Committee with a half-hour speech spelling out the general American position on dis- armament. Wadsworth indicated he would have little comment on Andrei Vishinsky’s two-hour speech yes- terday in which the Russian again yielded ground on the old Soviet demand for an immediate ban on atomic weapons. , Observers noted, however, that while the Russian delegate an- swered a number of points raised by Britain’s Selwayn Lloyd and France’s Jules Moch, he carefully steered clear of the key question: Will Russia agree to on-the-spot ria of her arsenals? ky made the following main points: 1. Instead of an immediate ban on nuclear weapons, the disarma- ment program can start with re- duetion of conventional arms and armed forces. The prohibition of . atomic and hydrogen bombs can come in the second phase, after a control organ has been set up. 2. The control organ must not have power to close plants in any country. Such authority must—in accordance with the U.N. Charter —rest with the Security Council. - 8, The Russians accept the Brit- ish-French disarmament recom- mendations of last spring as a ba- sig for discussion, but “that does not mean that we accept them wholesale.” 4.

(#—Three hundred rioting prisoners at the South Dakota State Penitentiary agreed today to return to their cells and release three guards held as hostages if Mayor Fay Wheel- don of Sioux Falls would head an impartial, investigating committee. Mayor Wheeldon said he would accept the responsibility ‘if they will let me do it.” He went into an immediate con- ference with Warden G. Norton Jameson, saying he would give the prisoners his answer after talking with the warden. One Freed As an evidence of their good faith, the inmates released one of the three guards, Mehrin D. Young. “We are turning this guard loose so you can see he is all right and he can tell you the others are ail right,” said Floyd Lindbergh, a life term prisoner who acted as spokesman for the prisoners. He said the other two guards, George Reid and E. F. Lambert- son, would be held until Mayor Wheeldon makes his reply. The prisoners, in conference with the warden and the Rev, Maurice Wessman, presented a long list of suggestions, but made only one demand—for an impartial investigation of prison conditions.

Wilson told newsman yesterday that while he had a “‘lot of sym- pathy” for. the jobless in labor lus areas, he has always “liked st dogs better than kennel-fed ae After reading published reports Big|of the press conference, Walter Reuther, CIO and United Auto workers president, sent a five-page telegram to President Eisenhower demanding that Wilson “publicly retract” the statement or “be asked to retire from public life.” Wilson made the remark in an- being) swer to newsmen’s questions on the placing of defense contracts in labor distressed areas.

Olin D. Johnson (D-SC), Sen. Homer Fer- guson (R-Mich), Ferguson’s Demo- crati¢ opponent in the november senatorial election, Patrick V. Mc- Namara, and Clifford P. Case, New Jersey Republican senatorial can- didate. Another comment that spurred Reuther to send the strongly word- ed telegram was Wilson’s state- ment that he expected employment in Michigan to “balance itself out by Christmas as new models get into production ‘“‘and maybe a few workers would go back South when it gets a little cold.” . Ferguson, addressing a Repub- lican rally in Grand Rapids, Mich., last night, took exception to Wil- son’s remark. “I would not express myself in the same way—as Wilson—about unemployment,” he said, adding: “I realize this (unemployment) be beyond the control of any in- dividual. Any unemployment is a calamity to the man, his family, his city, state, and the nation.” He Withdraws Helping Hand BALTIMORE (#—James Harris told Police Magistrate Howard L. Aaron that the days when he lent a helping hand to folks in trouble have ended. “I ¢an’t afford it.” The 45-year-old Negro truck driver was fined $10 by Aaron yes- terday after Patrolman Milton Freund gaid he insisted on stand- ing in the street and refused an order to get on the sidewalk at the scene of an accident. Harris said: “I saw the accident. There was a woman in the car with a baby ‘and she looked befuddled.

The Premier demanded endorse- ment. of the general principles of the nine-nation accord which would put arms again in the hands of 500,000 German troops, this time for Western defense. The Socialist party’s National ex- ecutive Council made approval al- most a certainty Igte last night when members voted to authorize the 104 Socialist deputies in Par- liament to support Mendes-France. There was no opposition and only The Socialist votes, added to those of the Premier’s own Radical Socialist (moderate) party and oth- er center factions, are expected to push Mendes-France’s» total well above the 314 required for a ma- jority in the 627-seat Assembly. Virtually all Socialist deputies are expected to obey their coun- cil’s order, although nearly half of them disregarded a similar dictate by opposing the defunct European Defense Communist Treaty. The executive’s resolution said Mendes- France had promised to seek So- cialist-desired safeguards against a rebirth of German militarism. There have been increasing signs of a move to bring the Socialists *| into Mendes-France’s coalition gov- ernment. The Premier has ex- Pressed the desire for the party’s support and had made efforts to meet its position on both interna- tional and domestic affairs. Mendés-France staked the life of his government on the confid- ence vote. Failure to gain a ma- jority would mean his immediate resignation and possibly new na- tional elections. Success would give him a solid mandate to continue negotiations with the other Western Powers later this month when the nine foreign ministers meet here to filli n details of the London ac- cords. The Premier still can encounter Trough seas when he submits a final treaty text for ratification by the Assembly, possibly before the end of the year.

The takeover of the city from the French'was accomplished with hardly an incident, despite the thousands of troops involved who ohly a few months ago were at each others’ throats. AT LAST fore you buy, what it will pay for—and what it will NOT remember, TALLAHASSEE (#@—The Florida Supreme Court found today there was some doubt waether wilham Bradford Huie, author and lecturer was legally held in jail at Live Oak on a contempt of court conviction ately on $2,500 bond. Huie’s attorney, William J. But- ler of New York City, left Talla- hassee for Live Oak where he said the bond would be posted. Huie was sentenced Saturday by Circuit Judge Hal W. Adams to Pay a $750 fine or go to jail for six months on a contempt citation growing out of his alleged state, ment to Dr. Frank A. Fernay that Judge Adams was connected with a numbers gambling ring in Su wannee County. Huie will remain at liberty under bond ing final arguments be- fore the Suprerie Court here in about 45 days on his habeas corpus petition. At that time, the court will de- cide whether Huie shall be ordered to pay the fine, be returned to jail or be. relased. Dr. Fernay, chief psychiatrist at the Veterans’ Hospital at Lake City, was appointed to test the sanity of Ruby McCollum; Negro woman convicted and sentenced to death in Judge Adaths’ court for the slaying of Dr. C. LeRoy Adams, white Live Oak physician. Fernay’s appointment came after the state Supreme Court had or- dered a new trial for her. The woman was adjudged insane and is now in the state mental hospital at Chattahoochee. » At Live Oak, Huie said the case would be presented vigorously to the Supreme Court when it is heard. He said he was returning to his Maryland home tonight and get to work on his book which he hopes to publish about February. “I'm not mad at anybody in| Florida,” he said. “I have been quité comfortable in jail and I have been treated fine.” | The author said he did not be-| lieve he was in contempt when he | went to talk to Dr. Fernay and he | felt the case was important to every newspaper man. He said it was through his talk with the psychiatrist that Dr. | Fernay learned he was not quali- fied to accept the judge’s assign- ment.

Then he would take the cash away from her to make the next week’s payment, Mrs. Anna Foll testified yesterday. The Folls are legally separated. Foll, 43-year-old steel construc- tion worker with six previous con- victions of assaulting his wife, was up in Criminal Court on a simlar charge.
