revokes
expulsion
ELISABETHVILLE, Katanga
(AP)—The Interior Ministry to-
day ordered the entire Belgian
consulate staff expelled in an
angry flareup of Katanga’s long
fued with the United Nations. But
Katanga President Moise Tshom-
be revoked the order.
The Interior Ministry reacted
after U.N. Swedish troops Friday
night seized Georges Thyssens, a
Belgian adviser in Katanga, and
expelled him from this capital, j
One shot was fired in making the
arrest and Thyssens’ son was
beaten.
Informed ource said Interior
Minister Godefroid Munongo was
angry because the Belgian consu-
late staff failed to intervene and
protect Thyssens, a personal
friend.
The Interior Ministry accused a
member of the Belgian consulate
ataff, Charles Muller, of collabor-
ating with the United Nations. He
was arrested and expelled this
morning.
Security police raided the con-
sulate and even detained consul
Jules Herkens for a time. Some
documents in the consulate were
taken.
When Consul General Henri
Crener protested to the Interior
Ministry he was told that he and
his staff must leave.
Then Tshombe intervened. He
counts heavily on the Belgians for
help in running this mineral rich
region of the former Belgian
Congo.
Tshombe asked Crener to con-
vey his apologies to the consulate
and to the Belgian government.
He expressed regrets at the
“rash decision” made by Munon-
go, who is considered one of the
atrong men in Katanga.
The U.N. in arresting Thyssens
accused him of putting the finger
on Muller, a special diplomatic
adviser to the consulate. The U.N.
said Thyssens told Katanga au-
thorities Muller was a socialit
sent to work with the U.N.
Thysens was seized at hi lux-
urious home here Friday night by
Swedish U.N. troops and taken to
a secret destination—possibly the
U.N. base in Kamina.
The United Nations’ chief rep-
resentative in Katanga, Conorc.
O’Brien, called a specia news
conference to deny reports that
excessive force was used in de-
porting Thyssens.
“Any force used wa in legiti-
mate s/elf-defense,” O’Brien said,
“and the only shot fired was at a
dog which tried to defend its
master.”
Thyssens was originally ordered
the Katanga government that
expelled from Katanga July 4, but
asked to be allowed to stay for a
few more days to clear up his
affairs.
O’Brien said that whefi it be-
came known that Thyssens was
behind the arrest of Muller, the
United Nations decided to have
him expelled without delay.

Kissing doll
Youngsters like the affectionate qualities of this doll, which
industrial designer Marvin Glass displays. The kissing doll,
whose lips pucker up when her arms are raised, has a loving
peck for her creator. Glass, noted toy designer, says: "When
a man kisses a doll, that’s pleasant; when she kisses him
back — that’s a phenomenon!”

Exchange Club hears report
on convention from president
EASTLAND, Tex (AP) - An
attorney for accused slayer Nath-
an Curry said Saturday the 15-
year-old Cisco youth was. “literal-
ly brainwashed” into giving his
statement and can remember
nothing of which it contains.
Allen D. Dabney Sr., a partner
with his son in an Eastland law
firm, was retained Friday by the
Curry family.
The high school student is ac-
cused of the brutal beating and
stabbing death of Mrs. Florence
Hussey, 53. Secretary at Cisco’s
First Baptist Church.
Young Curry remained in East-
land County jail, where he has
been held since officers took a
lengthy statement from him Tues-
day night concerning the sensa-
tional slaying.
Officers said the statement was
a confession, but newsmen have
not been permitted to see the
document nor interview Curry—
a policy which Dist. Atty. Earl
Conner Jr. said would remain in
effect.
Dabney, who said he would take
all legal steps to get the youtfi
out of jail, declared Curry was
subjected to “seven or eight hours
of intensive questioning.”
“He can’t recall anything he
said in the statement and the
parents (Mr. and Mrs. F. P.
Curry) have no idea what’s in
it,” Dabney said.
“Through use of evidence, we
believe we can exonerate the boy
of the crime,” the lawyer said.
Dabney said he had a private
conversation with Curry Friday.
He said the youth’s parents had
told him they have reason to be-
lieve their residence and business
Oil violation
complaints
are reported
KILGORE. Tex. (AP) — Dan
Purvis, chairman of the Federal
Petroleum Board, says "We are
getting a disturbing number of
complaints that operators are us-
ing fraudulent scheme to cir-
cumvent proration orders.”
Purvi added in an interview
at the board’s headquarters: “We
are dong our very best to carry
out the board’s assignment to en-
force the Connally (hot oil) Act,
despite a very limited staff.”
He said that “throughout Texas
there are many complaints that
operators have illegally secured
new sub-marginal well potentials
on old wells in order to increase
monthly crude oil sales subtsanti-
ally above the amount permitted
by state proration orders.”
He explained that sub-marginal
wells-those in some fields which
will not produce as much as 20
barrels daily-are generally ex
empt from proration.
telephones have been tapped
“If this is so,” said Dabney,
"we naturally will request the
district attorney to look into the
matter. The sheriff’s department
has stated that they feel they
have arrested the right person.
If so, we don’t see any reason
why a tap should be put on the
Currys’ telephone — if one is
actually there.”
Conner issued a stout denial
that Curry had been "brainwash-
ed.”
“The statement was freely and
voluntarily given,” said Conner.
“The boy was placed under no
pressure whatsoever.”
The district attorney said it was
true that Mrs. Curry had not been
informed of the full content of tha
statement, pointing out that no
one other than the officer who
took the statement had been
allowed to read the document.
“We followed the law in taking
the statement,” Conner said, add-
ing that he knew nothing about
the Currys’ allegation that their
phones had been tapped.

To wed
Mr. and Mrs. Carl E. Hoppe
of Littlefield announce the en-
gagement and approaching
marriage of their daughter,
Katie Mac, to Bill Bowers,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey
Bowers of Levelland. The
wedding has been set for *
p.m. July 15tb at the Hoppe
tjome in Littlefield.
Members of the Levelland Ex-
change Club, Friday, heard club
president Gene Parkinson report
on the recent State Exchange Con-
vention which he attended as a
representative of this city.
Parkinson’s report included the
main address of thp( convention
given by national Exchange Presi-
dent Ed Wood of Miami, Florida.
The beginning of Wand's speech
concerning opportunities of Ameri-
cans and opportunities and duties
of civic clubs over the country
follows.
“An American is the only man
in the world who will pay 50 cents
to park his car to eat a 30 cent
sandwich.
He yells bloody murder because
we spend a billion for education,
then goes out and spends 3 billion
on cigarettes.
He cusses his government, then
gets mad if some "foreigner” does
it.
An American is a person who
runs himself down trying to keep
his earning power up to his yearn-
ing power.
He yells for speed laws and
won’t buy a car unless it can do
100 miles per hour.
An American knows the lineup
of all the baseball teams and a-
bout half of the words of the Star
Spangled Bannar.
He works hard on the farm so
he can make some money to move
to town to make more money so
he can move back to the country.
America has more experts on
marriage than any other and more
divorces.
An American will spend half a
day looking for pills to make him
live longer, then drive 90 miles
an hour to make up for the time
he lost.
An American has more food to
eat than a man of any other coun-
try, and more diets to keep him
from eating it.
An American expects hotel ser-
vice at home, then gets mad at
the hotel for not giving him the
comforts of home.”
Special guest of the club for the
day was R. E. Maxey, Sundown.
SAN DIEGO, Calif. (AP) - A
big raring schooner struck and
slashed a fishing boat in half
early Saturday off San Diego, fatal-
ly injuring a fisherman aboard.
Two other men and a 13-year-
old boy aboard the fishing boat
were rescued unhurt by the crew
of the schooner, the 161-foot Good-
will.
The Goodwill is the West’s big-
gest sailing yacht and was the
first finisher in the 1953 Los An-
i geles-Honolulu race. It reported
; striking the 42-foot albacore boat
Victor shortly after 2 a m. today.
The fishing boat went down al-
most immediately.
Erwin Bauer, 60, was fatally
injured. Saved were John M. Al-
bert and Yoshio Kawamoto, and
the boy, Walter Foote.
AH were believed to be from
San Diego.
The Goodwill’s sharp prow was
not damaged in the collision, the
Coast Guard said. The vessels
collided 40 miles west of San
Diego.
After the accident the Goodwill
headed for San Diego. A Coast
Guard cutter raced to meet it.
The men, including the injured
Bauer, were taken aboard the
fast cutter.
It headed for port, and a heli-
copter was sent to remove Bauer
to San Diego Naval Hospital. But
he was dead when the helicopter
reached the cutter, the Coast
Guard said.
The Goodwill was built in 1922
and carries a racing crew of 53.
It sails out of Newport Beach,
Calif.
The Coast Guard said the sea
was smooth and there was no fog
reported at the time of the acci-
dent.

Tractor committee decides
to return money unopened
DETROIT (AP) — The Tractors
for Freedom Committee decided
Saturday to return unopened all
mail from contributors to the ill-
fated project to swap 500 farm
tractors for 1,197 Cuban invasion
prisoners.
Nearly 70,000 lettters have piled
up at the Detroit Post Office, and
most of them are thought to con-
tain contributions.
The committee, which has dis-
banded, said in a statement is-
sued from United Auto Workers
Union headquarters here:
“Since we could not conclude
an agreement with Dr. Fidel Cas
tro, those who have contributed
to this cause are entitled to a
return of their total contributions
to the Post Office Box Freedom
in Detroit. The only practical
method is to have the post office
return them unopened.”
The committee is headed by
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, honorary
chairman; Walter P. Reuther,
UAW president, and Dr. Milton
S. Eisenhower, president "ofJ the

Scotland's smallest
school giving way
GLEN DOUGLAS. Scotland
(AP)—Scotland’s smallest school
—only four pupils—is giving way
to an arms depot.
It will be a sad leave-taking for
the kids who enjoyed the school’s
specialties — outdoor classes and
nature study every day. They will
have to travel 10 miles to another
school.
The site on Loch Lomondside is
being cleared for a $19,600,000
arms store being built by the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza-
tion (NATO).
