RESIGNATION DEMANDED
African police state
charges shake Britain
LONDON (AP) —Grave charges
that Britain has turned her Afri-
can protectorate of Nyasaland in-
to a police state shook Prime Min-
ister Macmillan's government to-
day.
Laborites shouted for the resig-
nation of Colonial Secretary Alan
Lennox - Boyd and prepared to
make the Conservative govern-
ment’s African policy a major is-
sue in the approaching national
election likely to be in October.
The police state accusation came
tn the report of a four-man com-
mission appointed by the govern-
ment to make an independent in-
vestigation into nationalist out-
breaks in Nyasaland in February.
Hundreds of members of the na-
tionalist African National Congress
were put into detention camps and
more than 50 Africans killed by
soldiers and police in suppress-
House committee
slashes deep into
Ike's pet project
Bv WILLIAM F. ARBOGAST
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
today cut an additional $390,195,-
000 from President Eisenhower’s
pet project, the foreign aid pro-
gram. It was a final bid for a
deep slash in 1960 government
spending.
The committee recommended
$3,186,500,000 in new foreign aid
money, adding its own cut to that
already voted by Congress in the
authorization bill which sets ceil-
ings on the program. The combi-
nation cut more than 740 million
dollars from Eisenhower's origi-
nal $3,930,000,000 request.
The authorization bill had put
a limit of $3,576,695,000 on the
year’s program to help friendly
nations.
The 'foreign aid program is
handled in two separate bills. One
fixes the over-all scope of the pro-
gram. The other determines how
much money shall be provided to
pay the bill.
The committee’s recommenda-
tions are subject to House ap-
proval — which appeared likely
— next week.
Should the committee’s action
be sustained the net cut in all
appropriation bills passed this
year by Congress for all agencies
of the government will be in the
neighborhood of 500 million dol-
lars — the minimum target of
Democratic leaders striving to
squelch Republican charges that
Democrats are “big spenders.”
The committee cut 100 million
from military assistance pro-
grams for which the President
originally requested $1,600,000,000
and for which the separate au-
thorization bill approved only
$1,400,000,000. This would leave
the direct military aid program
with $1,300,000,000 in new money.
Other cuts included:
Defense support, 51 million from
the 751 milion authorized and the
835 milion requested.
Special assistance, 47% million
from the 2471 i million authorized
and the 272 million requested.
Technical cooperation, 29% mil-j
ir\g the wave of violence and sab-
otage in Nyasaland which spread
to neighboring Southern and North-
ern Rhodesia. Sir Robert Armi-
tcgg, Governor of the territory,
proclaimed a state of emergency
in Nyasaland — a modified form
of matrial law givingt he govern-
ment powers to detain anyone.
Sir Patrick Devlin, a high court
judge and one of Britain’s most
distinguished jurists, headed the
commission which declared, “We
think it quite evident that unnec-
essary force was used in making
arrests.”
"Nyasaland is — no doubt only
temporarily — a police state,” the
report declared.
Police in Brazil
start legal steps
toexport Birrell
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Po-
lice said today they are starting
legal steps at once to expel Low-
ell M. Birrell from Brazil. The
52-year-old U.S. attorney is want-
ed in New York on an indictment
alleging a 14-million-dollar stock
fraud.
Birrell was arrested Thursday
night in the fashionable Copaca-
bana Beach area. Police accused
him of entering Brazil with false
documents. They said he had
three passports—two U.S. and one
Canadian.
Birrell cannot be extradited
from Brazil on the New York in-
dictment because the United
States and Brazil have no extradi-
tion treaty—a situation that has
made this country a favorite ha-
ven for North Americans accused
of crimes.
The usual police procedure for
expelling undesirables is to
charge them with a local crime.
The U.S. Embassy may then
mark the passport of an Ameri-
can citizen good only for return
to the United States.
Malcolm P. Hallam, U.S. con-
sul, said he met Birrell when the
attorney registered at the embas-
sey in April 1958. This was a step
toward obtaining Brazilian identi-
ty papers that would allow Bir-
rell to live here permanently,
Hallam said.
New York Dist. Atty. Frank S.
Hogan announced in New York
Thursday that Birrell had been
found in Rio. Until today Brazilian
officials and members of the U.S.
Embassy staff said they knew
nothing about the matter.
The financier had been missing
since 1957, when a warrant was

SHORT OF RECOMENDATIONS
Ike signs aid authorization
WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi-
dent Eisenhower signed today a
$3,556,200,000 foreign aid authori-
zation bill.
The total is $353,200,000 short,
or within 10 per cent, of the
amount Eisenhower recommend-
ed.
, But there is every indication
that Congress will cut deeper in
the forthcoming foreign aid appro-
priations bill to provide the actual
funds for the program through
June 30, 1960.
The bill signed today sets max-
imums and defines policies.
The- biggest cut was in author-
ization for military arms to al-
lies. Congress set the limit at
$1,400,000,000 instead of the $1,600,-
000,000 Eisenhower recommend-
ed. Moreover, it directed that for
a two-year trial period military
foreign aid be treated as part of
the U.S. defense budget rather
than a separate item.
Congress also authorized only
155 million dollars, instead of the

Both contempt and pity wasted

NEW YORK (AP)—If you are
looking for a new and inexpensive
hobby, why not become a career
passenger?
A career passenger is a person
who enjoys motoring but doesn’t
know how to drive a motor car—
and doesn’t intend to learn. He
just goes along for the ride.
America has been a nation on
wheels for so long now that any
able-bodied person who admits he
can’t drive an auto is looked upon
with pity, as if he suffered an af-
fliction of some kind.

Actually, however, there are

on a driver that a psychiatrist's

THE WORLD TODAY:
Soviet tour off to sticky start
for Nixon, and could get worse
By JAMES MARLOW
A shot la ted Prerut New* Analyst
WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice
President Richard M. Nixon’s
good will Soviet visit has started
off sticky and can get worse. If
it does, President Eisenhower and
the Senate will have to ask them-
selves if their timing was bad.
Nixon, whose gladhanding
Latin-American tour a year ago
was met with spit and stones, got
a shocking reception Thursday
just about the time he landed in
Moscow and started shaking
hands with all in sight.
Twenty miles away Premier
Nikita Khrushchev, angered by a
recent anti-Communist gesture of
Eisenhower and the Senate, was
deriding the United States and
calling Nixon’s visit part of a
plan to embarrass the Soviet
Union.
On July 6 the Senate, by voice
vote and with little debate, passed
a resolution calling on Eisenhower
to proclaim the third week in
every July as Captive Nations
Week. Eisenhower issued the pro-
clamation July 17.
This was the latest of many
similar American reminders that
the Soviet Union was holding the
satellites in thralldom. It was sup-
posed to serve several' purposes:
T<Y remind the satellite people
the United States hasn’t forgotten
them; and to strengthen Secretary
of State Christian A. Herter’s
hand in dealing with the Russians
at Geneva on the Berlin problem.
How this could strengthen
Herter’s hand is hard to see. A
Senate resolution on an old theme
wasn't going to make the
Russians weak-kneed. It was no-
thing more than a gesture.
And, since this country isn’t
going to war to free the satellites
and there is no visible likelihood
of their getting freedom other-
wise, the only immediate result
could have been expected: it
irritated the Russians.
So, since Nixon's Soviet visit is
billed as a good will tour whose
climax is interviews with Khrush-
chev, the judgment behind the
timing of this resolution and pro-
clamation is open to question.
For this reason: When Nixon
landed in Moscow it was in the
middle of the Captive Nations
Week as proclaimed by Eisen-
hower.
Khrushchev, who had just re-
turned to Moscow himself from a
trip to Poland about an hour be-
fore Nixon’s plane touched down,
hastened to address a Polish
friendship meeting 20 miles from
the Moscow airport.
He was in a savage mood.
Whether this was due only to the
proclamation or was part of a
deliberately get - tough - with-
America campaign he seems to
building up is not clear. But the
proclamation gave him a good ex-
cuse to strike at the United States
just as Nixon arrived in the Soviet
Union.
He told the crowd Nixon was a
representative of the "panic -
stricken American imperialists”
and said Nixon’s trip was deliber-
ately timed to coincide with a
$400 bamage reported
as auto strikes pole
Approximately $400 damage was
sustained by a 1957 Ford early Fri-
day morning as it slammed into
a utility pole at Ave. H and 11th
Street.
Driver of the car, Tommy Dean
Henly of Anton, was uninjured.
Investigating officers said the
car apparently went out of control
and hit the pole.
Henly was ticketed for negligent
collision.
Amarillo man killed

TUCUMCARI, N.M. (AP) — A

also of Amarillo.
The accident occurred about 17
miles north of here.

campaign against the Soviet
Union.
The Senate and the Eisenhower
administration both might have
anticipated that—by letting Cap-
tive Nations Week coincide with
the week of Nixon’s arrival in
Moscow — they might be giving
the Russians a chance to embar-
rass him. And the Russians chose
to react just that way.
Any of the year’s 52 weeks
could just as easily have been de-
signated Captive Nations Week.
Why, then, was the choice made
of the very week that Nixon went J
to Russia? The answer seems to
be: thoughtlessness all around
and not deliberate timing.
The resolution was offered by
Sen. Paul Douglas (D-Illl, with
Sen. Jacob K. Javits (r-NY) join-
ing in.
Thursday night in the Senate
Douglas was asked if the third
week in July had been designated
in his resolution so as to coincide
with the arrival of Nixon in Mos-
cow.
He said no, that the timing was
"purely coincidental.” Originally,
he said, the resolution called for
the week after the Fourth of July.
This was changed, he said, after
there was a delay in passing the
resolution.
