Two-Party Support

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate Foreign Relations
Committee appeared set to stamp approval today on a watt*
and-see plan for dealing with the prospect of Red China's
seating in the United Nations.
Sen. Knowland (R-Calif), author of the toned-down pro-
posal, forecast a favorable verdict in advance of a formal
vote scheduled behind closed doors. He was joined by Sen.
H. Alexander Smith (R>NJ), acting committee chairman.
Knowland, the Senate GOP leader, said in an interview
he expects “tremendous” support from both Republicans and
Democrats for his amendment, apparently revised at ad-

POLITICAL RALLY SLATED AT

Special to the Record-Chronicle
LEWISVILLE — A county-wide political rally will be held
here Saturday night under the sponsorship of the Lewisville Cham-
ber of Commerce.
In addition to all of the county candidates, some state office
seekers or their representatives are scheduled to be on hand.
Spokesmen for both.Governor Allan Shivers, and Ralph Yar-

is “completely and unalterably op-
posed” to admitting the Peiping
regime, but he said the United
States should gc slow on deciding
whether to quit the U.N. as a re-
sult. Dulles predicted further that
Communist China would not be
seated.
A fresh statement of the admin-
istration’s attitude was given Con-
gress today by Asst. Secretary of
State Thruston B. Morton.
Morton wrote Chairman Chiper-
field (R-Ill) of the House Foreign
Affairs Committee that if Red
China joined the U.N. or any of
its 10 specialized agencies, "it is
axiomatic that we would re-exam-
ine our policy regarding the organ-
ization concerned, in the light of
the circumstances then existing.”
“However,” the assistant sec-
retary said, “we would not think
that the policy we have in mind
would be promoted by any con-
gressional action which seemed to
take it for granted that the Chinese
Communist regime would in fact
be seated in the various orgahs of
the United Nations.”
Rep. Bentley (R-Mich), author of
th proposed resolution,, said in
making Morton’s letter public that
he thought his plan might provide
a “compromise” between adminis-
tration reluctance to being com-

now is to the extent of the study
you need.”
Woodson said it would involve
a study of the engineering features,
the potential power-load growth,
conversion to steam or other pow-
er, and relocation of the entire
plant.
“The report should have enough
detail so that the answers to such
questions would be self-evident,”
Woodson said.
"You’ve also got to study your
income possibilities and compare
them with the types of systems
that could be used here," the Kan-
sas City engineer said.
Cost of the study Woodson esti-
mated at $3,500.
In answer to a question of Com-
missioner Vinson, Woudson esti-
mated that the study would take
twd months to complete.
Discussing local power facilities
further, Woodson said, "Up until
now you haven’t thrown money
down the drain, but I think you
have reached the point where you
need to take a long-range look
ahead.” . -
As for converting to steam from
the present system of gas-diesel,
Woodson said, ‘We are not leaning
toward one type of plant or the
other—the study will show which
way the wind is blowing."
Woodson told the Commission
that he personally would sponsor
the job and would be in Denton to
make all reports and help on all
decisions.
The firm of Black and Veatch is
a specialist in the field of power
production and employe a staff of
about 400 engineer.
The motion to purchase the serv-
ices of the firm was made by Com-
missioner Vinson.1

On Wednesday he reportedly asked
the union to call off the strike, in
return for which he as secretary
of labor would help sponsor ne-
gotiations. The union turned this
idea down. Apparently Reuter’s
move for a meeting last night re-
vived Mitchell's interest in seeking
a settlement. .
The strike, involving a dispute
over Wages, started Wednesday
morning, about 12 hours after Pres-
ident Eisenhower had invoked the
emergency clause Of Taft-Hartley.
The President said the strike could
hurt this nation's race for atomic
supremacy.

NEW YORK (—The New York
Times said today that Paul Crouch
former Communist and frequently
a government witness in anti-Com-
munist cases, "has turned against
his employers.”
A Washington • dispatch to the
Times by Anthony Leviero said
Crouch has formally demanded a
congressional investigation of Atty.
Gen. Herbert Brownell and his dep-
uty, William P. Rogers.
The story said Crouch had de-
clared Brownell and Rogers, whose
department has retained him for
years as a consultant and paid in-
former, "have given considerable
aid and comfort to enemies of the
United States” in starting an in-
vestigation of his reliability.
'The dispatch also reported:
Crouch, whose credibility is now
under investigation ny the Justice
Department, requested the Senate
Government Operations Committee
and the Senate Judiciary Commit-
tee to investigate the two top offi-
cials of the department.
Cro ch said the action of the
Justice Department officials might
force the reopening of about 60
hearings and trials in which he
had been a principal witness.
Sen. William Langer (R-NB),
chairman of the Judiciary Commit-
tee, said it considered Crouch’s
complaint at a closed session on
Tuesday and referred it to the Sen-
ate Internal Security subcommit-
tee. Sen. William E. Jenner (R-
ind), chairman of the latter group,

WASHINGTON I—Considerable
progress was reported today in
secret efforts to settle a three-day
strike of atomic workers without
resorting to a Taft-Hartley court
injunction to erid the walkout.
The strike has idled 4,500
workers at key uranium production
facilities.
Secretary of Labor Mitchell, hand-
ling the labor dispute for President
Eisenhower met until early this
morning at his office with CIO
President Walter Reuther.
The meeting was reportedly ar-
ranged at Reuter’s request and at-
tended also by Elwood Swisher,
president of the striking CIO Gas,
Coke and Chemical Workers, and
Joseph R. Joy, a top union official
from Oak Ridge, Tenn.
A source close to the situation
said "considerable progress was
made ” .
A presidential inquiry board,
meanwhile, went ahead with closed
door hearings for a report on the
situation to President Eisenhower.
Once he has the report, the Presi-
dent may under the T H law direct
the Justice Department to apply
for a back-to-work court order.
It was expected that unless a
settlement is reached quickly—and
that was considered possible—the
government would act fast in court
to get the men back to their jobs.
Mitchell earlier had tried for a
settlement but apparently gave up
after the inquiry board was named.

GUATEMALA th—Col. Carlos
Castillo Armas finally stood at the
top of the political heap in Guate-
mala today. The government an-
nounced the rebel chief was elected
president of a new three-man
junta, the fifth government turn-
over in less than two weeks.
Col. Elfego Monzon, temporary
chief of the five-man junta in
charge since last Friday, remained
on the new pared-down ruling
body.
But the reins were clearly in
Castillo's hands. The third member
of the top group, Maj. Enrique
Oliva, was defense minister in the
provisional government which the
rebel leader set up at Chiquimula
after his army of Guatemalan ex-
iles invaded their homeland from
neighboring Honduras June 18.
A government decree Isst night
said Castillo's election was effec-
tivs immediately. The announce-
ment said the five members of
the previous junta voted unani-
inously to make him head man at
a meeting Wednesday night.
The other two members of the
pievious group—Lt. Col. Mauricio
Dubois and Lt. Col. Jose Luiz
Cruz—resigned. In a formal state-
ment they said a smaller group
would make governing easier. It
was speculated the two would
draw diplomatic assignments, one
likely in Washington.
Castillo’s emergence as chief of
G u a t a m ala’s newest anti-Red
regime had been expected for sev-
eral days. The move finally gave
the colonel’s liberation army a
clear-cut victory.
Most of his followers were openly
dissatisfied with the compromise
arrangement he reached with Mon-
zo at a peace conference last week
in El Salvador. The conference set
up the five-man junta which Mon-
zon headed as temporary chief. It
was agreed that a permanent
president would be picked by July
17.

HST DISMISSED
FROM HOSPITAL
KANSAS CITY w— Former
President Harry S. Truman to-
day was dismissed from Re-

been since an operation June
20.
A member of the hospital
staff said "Mr. Truman was
dismissed at 5;30 this morn-
ing.” He was taken to his home
in Independence, 11 miles from
here.
The former President had
his gall bladder and appendix

tack while attending an out-
door musical production.
His hospital stay was pro-
longed beyond the originally
estimated 10-day period by

farm bill containing many features
opposed by the Eisenhower admin-
istration.
Chairman Aiken (R-Vt) said he
voted to send th* controversial
measure on to the Senate because
'*1 am confident that it will ap-
prove a bill acceptable to the Pres-
ident.”
Aiken said Sens. Williams
(R-Del) and Anderson (D-NM), a
former secretary f agriculture,
veted against reporting the bill to
the Senate because of their broad
opposition to several sections of it.
Voting with Aiken to report the
bill were Sens. Young (R-ND),
Thye (R-Minn), Hickenlooper (R-
lowa), Mundt (R-SD), Schoeppel
(R-Kan), Welker (R-Idaho), EUen-
der (DLa), Johnston (D-SC), Hol-
land (D-Fla), Eastland (D-Miss),
Clements (D-Ky) and Humphrey
(D-Minn).
By an 8-7 vote the committee
i ejected requests of President Ei-
senhower and Secretary of Agricul-
ture Benson for a flexible system
of farm price supports and asked
a one-year extension of rigid 90
per cent of parity supports for
wheat, cotion, corn, rice and pea-
nuts.
Aiken said he would ask the
Senate to substitute for this, a
flexible support range of 80 to 90
per cent.
The House already has voted a
flexible system of from 82% to 90
per cent after upsetting its own
Agriculture Committee's demand
for another year of rigid supports
in major field crops.
Aiken said two other major
points in the Senate bill will cause
floor battles.
One would raise supports for
butter, cheese, milk and dairy
products to 85 per cent, or 10
points above the 75 per cent level
ordered into operation April 1 by
Secretary Benson. The House voted
an 80 per cent level.
Aiken said he would ask the Sen-
ate to retain the 75 per cent oasis
because of the huge stocks of
cheese, butter and dairy products
now in government hands.
Another dispute centers around
a proposed 2%-billion-dollar’ Aset
aside"o f the more than 6 billon
dollars of farm surpluses now held
by the government.
The Senate committee approved
this 10-5 along with rigid highlevel
supports but Aiken said it was of-
xered only aa part of the flexible
price support proposal.
Aiken said the farm bill probably
cannot be reported to the Senate
before Monday, in order to com-
plete conflicting reporta on several

CHICAGO I—’The first round in
the expected legsl fight for Mont-
gomery Ward Thorne’s two-million-
dollar fortune opened today as
coroner’s officials investigated a
pathologist's report hinting he wss
siain.
Dr. Harry Leon, in a report yes:
terday, ssid the 20-year-old mau
order heir died violently of alcohol
snd drug poisons, and that some-
one else probsbly injected the
drugs into his veins.
Thorne died "by undue means, ’
Dr. Leon ssid in his report to
Coroner Walter E. McCarron.
"This defnitely was not a natural
death," he said.
The possibility of foul play is
under consideration by McCarron.
'‘There is definitely something
wrong in this case," McCarron
said. "It appears from the phy-
sicisn's report that a second party,
exp;rt with the needle, may have
administered drugs into the veins
of Thorne before he died.”
Thorne’s body wss found in bis
one-roo mapartment June 19. The
coroner's office has started a
search for all persons who may
have seen him between I a.m. and
5 a.m.
Dr. Leon said the position of
fresh needle marks on the youth’s
arm indicated another person msde
them shortly before his death.
Asked directly, "Wss Thorne
murdered?" Dr. Leon replied,
"That is up to the coroner’s jury
to determine.”
A coroner’s jury, at five emotion-
packed hearings since the youth's
death, have heard several witness-
as, including his mother, Mrs. Mar-
io,n Thorne. The inquest is to be
