A Streamlined Report
Of Important News
TYLER (--Atty. Gen. John
Ben Shepperd said today the ex-
pressed reluctance of a Negro to
attend Mansfield High School dur-
ing racial disturbances there ear-
lier this fall caused the state to
begin its investigation of the Na-
tional Assn, for the Advancement
of Colored People.
Shepperd was a surprise wit-
ness called by the NAACP as it
fought for its right to exist in
Texas.
Shepperd said under question-
ing by NAACP attorney W. J.
Durham of Dallas:
"The reason for our intensified
interest at this time was a state-
ment made by one of the boys
in the Mansfield incident that he
didn’t want to go to school there
unless the NAACP made him
press it."
He said he had numerous other
statements of this nature from
persons at Mansfield.

SAN FRANCISCO • - A big
Pan American transport plane,
with two engines in trouble,
ditched in the Pacific Ocean today
and the Coast Guard quickly res-
cued all 31 survivors.
The plane, en route from Hono-
lulu to San Francisco, broke in
half upon hitting the water. She
ditched about midway between
Honolulu and San Francisco.
Six women and three children
were among the passengers. Pre-
vious reports said 31 persons were
aboard, but the Coast Guard con-
firmed It ha drescued 31 persons.
“Plane is sinking," said a mes-
sage from the cutter Pontchar-
train when the plane plowed into
the water at 8:18 a.m. PST.
"We have rescued 31 survivors.
We hope all. We have received
word from our boats on the 31
survivors.”
Pilot Richard Ogg had circled
the big plane over the Pont-
chartrain, a Coast Guard weather
ship, more than three hours before
alighting on the ocean.
Trouble with two of the plane's
four engines caused the .mishap.
From San Francisco a seaplane
was to leave shortly with a rescue
doctor aboard. The Coast Guard
said it wiuld take the plane about
six hours to reach the scene.
Pilot Ogg had awaited for day-
light to set his plane down on a
rather quiet sea.

"Yet if we are going to make
any progress we must find means
of breaking out of this deadly
deadlock. We must come forward
with proposals which will bear
witness to our desire to move for-
ward and not away from disarm-

Stevenson brought in Chairman
Clinton Anderson (D-NM) of the
Senate-Hguse Atomic Energy
Committee to back his view that
it was feasible and wise to halt
nuclear test.
He summoned Sen. Stuart Sy-
mington (D-Mo), chairman of a
special Senate Armed Services
subcommittee, to testify in support
of his contention that no harm
would result to America's
defenses by such a move. Steven-

ourselves," adding, “It would
not."

Stevenson, the Democratic pres-

speech from Chicago last night his
proposal that America take the
lead in efforts to end H-bomb tests

Eisenhower on several points,
Stevenson said that "most disturb-

WASHINGTON ( - Secretary
of State Dulles emphatically re-
asserted todsy that the United
States would give aid-within con-
stitutional limits to any victim of
aggression in the crisis - ridden
Middle East.
The question of the U.S. posi-
tion was raised at a news con-
ference in connection with
reports of impending Iraqi troop
movements into Jordan and con-
sequent Israeli nervousness about
possible new fighting in the area.
Syrian arms—which Dulles said
could be Soviet or Western in
origin — are already moving into
Jordan.
Arab sources have said — and
American officials support the ex-
planation — that Jordan asked
Iraqi troops to stabilize the gov-
ernment of King Hussein against
collapse.
Israel took the position, how-
ever. that entry of Iraq troops
would violate the 1949 Palestine
armistice and could lead to war.
On another matter Dulles said

Council discussion of the Suez
Canal controversy had resulted in
"progress toward achieving a just
