Eisenhower Blasted
As Dangerous Man
To Head Up Nation
Nikita Renews Efforts
To Discredit President
MOSCOW (A1) — Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev,
renewing his efforts to discredit President Eisenhower,
said today it is dangerous to have such a man heading
great nation.
And he indicated the Soviet Union could have little
confidence in Richard M. Nixon as a working partner
of the Soviet Union.

Services Set
For Victim
In Drowning
Funeral services for Thursday’s
drowning victim, Shirley Ann Ar-
tieschoufsky, 13, will be held at
2 p.m. Saturday at St. Paul Lu-
theran Church. The Rev. E. A.
Heye, pastor of the church, will
conduct the service. Burial will
be in the Taylor city cemetery.
Shirley Ann, bom October 9,
1946, in Taylor, died Thursday
morning in the Gulf of Mexico
in the vicinity of Bay City as
she was swimming with two girl
companions. She had gone to the
coast Wednesday afternoon fqr a
vacation with the J. E. Adams
family. This was the first oppor-
tunity of the summer for a vaca-
tion as school was dismissed
only the day before.
Her body was discovered by
rescuers approximately 30 min
utes after she was overcome by
a large wave. Attempts to revive
her were futile.
She is survived by her parents,
^•Mr. and Mrs. Adolf Artieschouf-
flpky; grandparents, Mr. and Mrs.
Henry Artieschoufsky of Thorn-
dale; three sisters, Jeanette Ar-
tieschoufsky of Houston, Mrs.
Betty Jean Domel of Austin, Mar-
gie Lee Artieschoufsky of Taylor;
and two brothers, Adolf Jr., and pletely lacking in will power,
Donnie Ray, both of Taylor.
The body will be at the Con-
dra Funeral Home until shortly
before services Saturday at St.
Paul’s church. She was a mem-
ber of St. Paul.
The Premier declared the Ei-
senhower presidency is a dark
period in history, with the Presi-
dent lacking in will power.
He pictured Eisenhower—whom
he met and praised last fall in
the United States—as virtually a
stooge for John Foster Dulles at
the 1955 summit meeting. Then
the Premier indirectly continued
his recent criticism of Vice Presi-
dent Nixon by saying:
“We were not so badly off in
Dulles’ time because he did so
many foolish things it made it
easier for us . . . From that
point of view I suppose that Nix-
on is the best choice for us for
U.S. president. Of course it would
be better for us if we had a wise
partner, but if not, that is the
American people’s business and
they will be the ones to suffer.”
Khrushchev made these re-
marks at a news conference, at-
tended by 400 reporters in the
Kremlin. It was called primarily
to give the Soviet leader a chance
to outline his new disarmament
program. But he ranged widely in
his comments and answers to
questions.
He got a laugh with this re-
mark:
“When the President is no long-
er president, the best job we
could offer him here would be as
head of a children’s home. We
are sure he would not harm
children.”
“But to have such a man as
the head of a great nation is dan-
gerous,” he added when the
laughter died down.
“President Eisenhower is com-

said, “but that does not excuse
him” for not exercising authority
over such men as Nixon and Sec-
retary of State Christian A. Her-
ter. The Premier declared these

School Dean Testifies
In Fraud of Teachers
DALLAS UP) — The dean of

School testified Thursday she

ers Professional Investment Corp.
without her consent or know-

Miss Elsie Parnell testified at
the trial of Robert L. Proffer, a
former state senator, and Hollis
L. Adkison of Fort Worth. They
are being tried on charges of
mail fraud and securities law
violations and with defrauding
Texas school teachers of more
than $100,000.
She also said she never bought

An East Texas truck farmer,
Archie Phillips, of Canton, testi-

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Sen. John F. Kennedy’s en-
dorsement by Michigan Gov. G.
Mennen Williams held the center
of the political stage today, but
a Midwest foray by Gov. Nelson
A. Rockefeller of New York
seemed likely to draw the lime-
light back toward the Republi-
cans.
Williams, who head's a 51-vote
convention delegation, announced
his support of Kennedy Thursday
after a cordial chat with the
Massachusetts presidential con-
tender at Mackinac Island.
Williams’ action does not bind
the Michigan delegation, but
seems likely to swing it solidly
into Kennedy’s comer. Not count-
ing the 51 Michigan votes, an un-
official Associated Press tally
gave Kennedy 334% committed
convention votes, out of the 761
needed for nomination.
Rockefeller flies to Fargo, N.
D., today to start two days of
farm belt stumping for Gov.
John E. Davis, Republican can-
didate for the Senate in a spe-
cial June 28 election.
Rockefeller recently declared
he’s Still available if the Repub-
lican convention wants to draft
him as its presidential candidate.
But at the same time he said he
doesn’t expect it to happen. Vice
President Richard M. Nixon is
otherwise unopposed for the top
spot.
Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson of Tex-
as who has been running without
saying he’s a candidate, was put
squarely in the contest Thursday
by House Speaker Sam Rayburn
and other friends. They annuon-
ced formation of a Citizens for
Johnson movement with John-
son’s approval.
Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D-
Minn), who bowed out of the
presidential sweepstakes after
Kennedy drubbed him in the
West Virginia primary, made
clear Thursday his presidentail
choice now is Adlai E. Steven-
son.
In a telegram to
Humphrey plaised him H;V>r his
speech in Chicago this weeSv. set-
ting forth a five point “gra.-d
strategy for peace.”
Humphrey added: “When are
you going to make a direct move
for the nomination? Many people
are waiting.”
Stevenson has made no overt
effort to get the nomination he
had twice before, but remains
available for a draft.
Another Democrat aspirant,
Sen. Stuart Symington of Miss-
ouri, said Thursday at Fresno,

Ike Declines
Comment on
Niki's Slurs
WASHINGTON UP)—The White
House today branded as complete-
ly untrue Soviet Premier Nikita
KhrushcheV’s statement that Pres-
ident Eisenhower fears and op-
poses the unification of Germany.
Mrs. Anne Wheaton, associate
press secretary, told reporters
the President was informed of
Khrushchev’s statement on Ger-
many and of the Soviet leader’s
slurs on the President himself.
There will be no comment, she
said, on Khrushchev’s statements
at a Kremlin news conference that
Eisenhower is “completely lack-
ing in will power” and that it is
“dangerous” for him to head a
great nation.
But, Mrs. Wheaton went on:
“The chairman’s Khrushchev’s
reference to German unification is
absolutely untrue.”
Khrushchev said Eisenhower
told him personally that he (Ei-
senhower) was unwilling to see
Germany reunified because the
United States fears a reunified
Germany.
Such opposition would be wholly
contrary to stated policy of the
American government.
There was no immediate White
House comment on Khrushchev’s
further statement that he had au-
thorized the use of nuclear war-
heads on rockets which, the Krem-
lin has announced, would be aimed
at any foreign bases from which
further spy flights might be laun-
ched over Russia.
But Mrs. Wheaton reminded re-
porters:

Preliminary census figures
were released today on four
more Williamson County commu-
nities.

— showed moderate

gains.
The other two — Hutto and
Granger — lost population.
Thrall’s population increased
by 43, from 585 in 1950 to 628 in
1960.
Florence also gained 43 people,
from 561 in 1950 to 604 in 1960.
The population of Hutto drop-
ped from 529 ten years ago to
439 this year. That’s a decrease
of 90 people.
Granger’s population fell by
by 299 — from 1,637 in 1950 to
1,338 in 1960.
The preliminary figures were
relased by L. F. Zwiener of
Austin, district supervisor of the
census.
He explained that figures on
other smaller communities still
were not available because they
are not separate enumeration
districts. The count in these
towns takes in more than the
area of the city limits and these
figures have not been separated.
Since Bartlett lies in both Wil-
liamson and Bell counties a total
was, not available. However,
Zwiener said the population of
that part of Bartlett in William-
son County was 1,057. No figure
was available for that part in
Bell County. Bartlett’s total pop-
ulation in 1950 was 1,727.
Figures on Coupland, Jonah,
Circleville, and Liberty Hill will
be released at a later date.

With school out for the sum-

ties program for students is in

Wiley McDonald, local Texas
Employment Commission mana-
ger, said the program appears
heading for its biggest success,
judging from the early response
from the standpoint of job oppor-
tunities and job applicants.
“In fact,” said' Mr. McDou-

Business of Many Churches Hums
In New Workshop of Christianity
NEW YORK I® — On an
eminence overlooking Manhattan
towers a sleek, new workshop of
American Christianity.
Within its walls hums the bus-
iness of many churches.
It’s “The Interchurch Center,”
a block-square, 19-story, 21-mil-
lion -dollar edifice, the hub of
sundry religious enterprises, the
nation’s most imposing symbol
of Christian brotherhood, and to
many the realization of a long-
time dream.
This is its week of dedication.
Thousands of tourists already
have strolled its marble halls,
gazed at its sculptured murals
and ceilings, whispered in awe at
its starkly simple stone-and-wood
chapel lit through one huge ala-
baster window, read its varied'
inscriptions: “To the glory of
God and the service of man-
kind.”
But beyone the glass - encased
exhibits and artwork, the liveried
attendants, gleaming terrazo
floors and contemporary decor,
the building also is a busy multi-
church nucleus for evangelism,
missions, relief, Christian educa-
tion and other activity.
About 2,000 men and women of
varied denominations, boards and
agencies work in the 18 floors of
offices. In the big, brightly deco-
rated basement cafeteria a good
lunch costs less than one dollar.
Some of the groups have
prayers before they eat or sit a
moment in silence with bowed
heads. Ashtrays are missing
there, and scarce elsewhere in
the building, but you find' them
in the public halls beside the
elevators.
From its windows, you can
look down on the skyscraper roof
of the city.
“The center is a significant
symbol of protestant and ortho-
dox unity in life and service to-
gether,” says the Rev. Dr. M.
Forest Ashbrook, an American
Baptist and chairman of the
building’s operating committee.
“It should influence the whole
country.”
The building is a tall, straight-
sided structure of light-gray Ala-
throughout, with a 125-car garage
underneath. The wide, glass main
entrance faces the Hudson River
between 119th and 120th streets.
Inside the lobby, St. Paul’s
words, engraved in gold on a
curved marble wall, greet the
visitor:
“There is one body and c
spirit, just as you were called to
the one hope that belongs to
your call, one Lord, one faith,
one baptism, one God and father
of us all, who is above all and
through all and in all.”
Biggest tenant is the National
Council of Churches, a coopera-
tive agency for 33 Protestant and
Orthodox denominations. Previ-
ously housed in eight separate
buildings, it now is concentrated
on three floors and part of an-
other.
The 27 other tenants are a
wide array of denominational and
religious service organizations,
including sections of the Metho-
dist, United Presbyterian, Ameri-
can Baptist and Assemblies of
God churches, and headquarters

Starving Boy
Found After
Fifteen Days
FLIN FLON, Man. UP) — A hel-
icopter Thursday plucked a starv-
ing, nearly incoherent little boy
from beside the burned wreckage
of a plane where he had spent
15 lonely, fear-ridden days in the
rugged bush of northwest Mani-
toba.
Later the helicopter and its
rescue crew returned to collect
the bodies of the child’s father
and a friend who died in the
crash 390 miles northwest of Win-
nipeg.
“Gee, I thought you’d never
come,” said' 9-year-old Walter
Sedor to his mother at the Flin
Flon hospital.
Although suffering from exhaus
tion and undernourishment, the
child was said to be in good con-
dition.
The father, Steve Sedor, .39, a
friend, Ken Harrison, 32, and the
child were on a 12-mile flight to
Tartan Lake for a fishing trip
when the plane crashed May 18.
The boy, sitting in the back
seat, apparently was thrown
through the roof into heavy brush
which broke his fall.
The boy told his rescuers he
chewed a few roots and leaves
and drank rain water. A package
of supplies containing enough
food for one person for at least
25 days had been thrown clear
but the boy didn’t touch it —ap-
parently unaware of What it con-
tained.
Since May 18 the weather dur-
ing the day had been relatively
mild, but on several occasions
the temperature approached
freezing at night. There were
several rainy days.
Thursday, Harvey Evans, a pi
lot for TransAir Ltd., spotted the
boy sitting on a rock about three
fourths of a mile from Tartan
Lake. Evans, who was returning
from a flight north, said if his

finally, a Australian tiger snake.
Earnest, 22, is a professional
snake handler. He was bitten by
the tiger snake May 17, and won
a battle for survival which has
gone down in medical annals as
a rare victory.
Tiger snake victims usually
die.
The venom paralyzed' Earnest’s
breathing, speech and eye mus-
cles. He was in an iron lung 10
days.
“There wasn’t much pain,”
said Earnest. “Not like a rattle-
snake bite, which has a terrible
localized pain and about drives
you out of your mind.
This time it was like a heavy
weight on my chest, like I was
going to strangle. Each breath
was a difficult procedure.”
A team of five doctors worked
around the clock at Los Angeles
General Hospital to save him.
Before the serum was found, the
venom caused' coagulation of his
blood, which had to be constant-
ly changed. He was given five
pints of replacement blood.
Then the serum was obtained
at the San Diego Zoo. It neutra-
lized the venom, but serious kid-
piratory difficulties remained. It
isn’t known yet if he’ll suffer any
permanent after effects.
Four days ago he began to be
able to breathe by himself.
went home from the hospital to
the residence in suburban Buena
Park he shares with his parents.
The snake bit Earnest as he
was feeding the two tiger snakes
at the family’s Buena Park snake
farm.
,“It won’t happen again,” he
said.
Nikita Says
They Will be
First Targets
MOSCOW (J*)— Soviet Premier
Nikita Khrushchev, renewing his
demand for the United States to
abandon its overseas military
bases, said today that countries
playing host to U.S. forces would
be the first ones hit if war breaks
out.
He made the statement at a
Kremlin news conference called
to give details of a revised version
of his “general and complete” dis-
armament plan unveiled at the
United Nations last year.
Liquidation of U.S. bases abroad
has been a major objective of
Soviet foreign policy for years.
Khrushchev said his rocket troop
commander now has authority to
mount a nuclear attack against
the bases if new spy plane flights
over the Soviet Union take off
from them.
In addition to reshuffling priori-
ties in his disarmament plan, he
included a new provision—de-
struction of the rockets, subma-
rines, airplanes and other means
for delivering nuclear weapons
in an attack. This plan was first
advanced by France.
“If the cold war becomes hot,”
Khrushchev said, “the first blow
will be struck against those coun-
tries which play host to U.S.
bases.”
Soviet Defense Minister Rodion
Malinovsky disclosed Monday that
Soviet rocket crews have been or-
dered to fire at any foreign base
from which further spy flights are
launched over the Soviet Union.
Today Khrushchev ,sai<L Mar-
shal M. I. Nedeiin, commander
of Soviet rocket troops, had been
given the authority to use nuclear
warheads in the rockets.
Westerners here were shocked
by this. In the United States only
the president has the authority to
launch a nuclear attack.

$70,000 in Box
Found in Ground
JERICHO, N. Y. (B — Stephen
Fox’s bulldozer unearthed a small
metal box Thursday as he was
clearing a field and' money spill-
ed out — more than $70,000 of it.
Fox, who lives at nearby Hicks-
ville and says he has a mortgage
on his house and still owes some
on his bulldozer, bent over the
box. Money, inches thick, was
wrapped in brown paper. There
were $20 bills, $50 bills and $100
bills, but no writing to show to
whom it belonged.
Fox called Arthur Shodnek, who
owns the land and plans to use
it for an industrial site. Shod'nek
suggested they call police.
Lt. Austin Attwell counted the
money, said the total came to
more than $70,000 but refused to
give an exact figure. If some-
body claims it, he wants to have
some proof and knowing the ex-
act figure would help.
