Peace Hopes Rise
At Geneva ' ecess

business on an Indochina peace. The United States appeared set to
write off the nine-party conference here as a failure unless ,the Reds
Student Riot
Breaks Out
On Subway
NEW YORK, May 20 (IP)—High
school boys and girls by the huri
dreds rioted in the subway - tpday,
surging in waves through moving
cars and smashing all before
them. A porter in their path Was
beaten.
There was no apparent motive
beyond sheer rowdyism.
Twenty-four boys and 19 girls
were taken in for questioning by
police. First reports had said po
lice rounded up 100 youths. Most
of the students slithered out of
the grasp of cops and vanished.
Vandals Wreck Trains
The young vandals smashed
windows, ripped apart seats and
hurled theM from the trains, broke
light bulbs and wrecked vending
machines. They pulled emergency
cords and held open train doors
to disrupt travel schedules.
The riots grew out of a field day
for Commerce High School stu
dents at Van Cortlandt Park - in
far uptown Manhattan. Police
said students from other high
schools some distant played
hookey and converged • on the
park until there were some 2,-
000 in all.
Worse Than Panty Raid
It was the worst student out
break since the Columbia Uni
versity panty raid of a year ago—
and far uglier in temper.
There were no police on hand
when the morning riot erupted.
Early in the afternoon, the mass
of students in the park finally
broke up and most of them paid
their fares and quietly entered
trains.
Several hundred others hurdled
turnstiles and boarded a south
bound train. As the train rocked
along the wild confusion inside
the cars forced the motorman to
halt at 207th St. where police
seized some of the rioters.
DuMont Attacks
TV Monopolies
WASHINGTON, May 20 (IP)=—
Allen B. DuMont, head of the Du-
Mont television network, recom
mended to Congress today that the
government intervene, possibly
with network regulation, to pre
vent a television broadcasting
monopoly.
He said it is apparent that
broadcasting has reached a point
where without "some government
intervention, it will shortly be
come the property of two net
works and a relatively few power
ful very high frequency stations,
and there will be, in effect, a tele
vision broadcasting monopoly.".
In testifying before a Senate
Commerce subcommittee, DuMont
did not name the two networks
but other DuMont officials indi
cated later he referred to CBS
and NBC.
Business Outlook Good
NEW YORK, May 20 (R)—Ran
dolph Burgess, Deputy to Secre
tary of the Treasury Humphrey,

outlook is reassuring."

change their attitude.
The Reds reportedly were will
ing to proceed tomorrow with de
bate on a military armistice with
out pressing for recognition at
Geneva of "resistance govern
ments" of Laos and Cambodia.
French sources said Red Chinese
Premier Chou En-lai made known
this „position in a private talk
with British Foreign Secretary
Anthony Eden, one of a series-of
big power huddles during the
one-day recess • in Indochina ne
gotiations.
Chou was represented as saying
the Communists would not aban
don claims for recognition of the
resistance movements, but were
willing to set aside these claims
temporarily to permit the confer
ence to go to work on 'cease-fire
proposals.
The conference came to a dead
halt yesterday when delegates of
the Communist-led Vietminh , re
gime renewed the recognition de
mand. The French insist the re
sistance governments are "phan
toms" invented by the Reds • to
cloak Vietminh invasions of Laos
and Cambodia and to stall the
Geneva debate.
A major provision of the French
proposal for ending the war would
separate the problems of Laos and
Cambodia from the proposed ar
mistice in Viet Nam.
Governor Calls Meeting
For Segregation Talks
RICHMOND. Va., May 20 (IP)
Gov. Thomas B. Stanley disclosed
today he has invited southern
governors to meet here early in
June for exploratory talks on the
questior of school segregation.
"In view of the decision of the
Supreme Court relating to segre
gation in the public schools; it
appears a meeting of governors
of the 16 southern states concern
ed could serve a most useful pur
pose for an exchange of informa
tion and views," Stanley said.
The Communist plan provides
for an armistice in all three of
the Associated States after agree
ment has been reached on pro
posals for a political settlement.
Chiang Seeks Strong Asian Alliance
TAIPEH, Formosa, Friday, May
21 (~ P ) President Chiang Kai
shek, starting a new term as
sparks fly in a dbrmant Civil War,
yesterday called for a strong
Asian anti-Communist alliance.
Chiang's inaugural address was
delivered against a backdrop of
air and sea clashes off the Red
China coast and with the entire
Nationalist Air Force on the alert

mosa.
Chiang told an audience, in
cluding U.S. Defense Secretary
Wilson. that all Asian nations fac
ing the Red threat "must estab
lish on the Communist periphery
a strong collective organization
caoable of collective action."
''No good will come out if we
overlook such a basic requirement
and are satisfied with issuing an
empty collective statement' bear-

De Valera
Replaced as
Irish Leader
DUBLIN, May 20 (JP)—Silver
haired John A. Costello, Ireland's
Prime Minister from 1948 to 1951,
displaced aged, nearly blind
Eamon de Valera again tonight as
the Irish Republic's chief of gov
ernment.
Voters in Tuesday's general
election gave undisputed control
of the Dail Parliament to a coa
lition formed and kept together
by Costello, a leading Dublin at
torney.
The voters rejected a bid by
De Valera only surving com
mandant of the 1916 Easter upris
ing against the British—to obtain
a majority for his Fianna Fail
Men of Destiny party. Fianna
Fail ran against the field.
It was beaten and the 71-year
old New York-born De Valera was
headed out of the post he had
held since 1937, except for 1948-
51 when Costello was Prime
Minister.
There was speculation that De
Valera was nearing the end of his
remarkable political career. How
ever, he has as yet given no in
dication of his future plans.
Costello, now 62, is leader of •the
Fine Gael party. He was premier
when the Irish Republic severed
its last ties as a British depend
ency.
Costello was expected to or
ganize the new government along
the same coalition lines as the
cabinet he headed in the 1948-53
period.
