SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 25. 1954
Viet Nam
Picked by
SAIGQN, Indochina, Sept. 24 (/P) —Premier Ngo Dinh Diem installed a new Cabinet today in a
bold move to save his Yiet Nam government, blit he still sat on a powder keg which could explode
any minute.
For the first time Diem brou
Hoa Hao religious sects—including
sects —to bolster his hand in his
struggle for power with the South
Viet Nam army chief of staff, Gen.
Nguyen Van Hinh.
Announcement of the new Cabi
net was proceeded by the resig
nation of Vice Premier Gen.
Nguyen Van.Xuan, who was ap
pointed only last Saturday in an
effort to patch up Premier Diem’s
quarrel with Hinh and ' appease
the army.
In stepping Out, Xuan hailed on
Chief of State Bao Dai to remove
Diem in favor of a new leader.
Bao Dai, vacationing on the
French Riviera, so far has made
no decisive moves in the long
building crisis which threatens to
topple Premier Diem’s patchwork
government... ‘
Situation Uncertain
The situation in South Viet Nam
was uncertain tonight. Grenade
tossing and violence by terrorists,
including the still active Commu
nist-led'Vietminhj threatened this
half of' war divided Viet Nam.
Many feared a bioody weekend
may be in prospect.
-Gen. Hinh was admittedly un
haopy about the new' Cabinet,
which put Cao Dai and Hoa Hap
army generals in key spots. With
the national army solidly behind
him, Hinh refused Diem’s order
two weeks ago to leave his post
and go to France.
Army Inactive
The army chief of staff told an
interviewer today he would op
pose the reorganized government
but that the army would not do
anything for a few days. He add
ed: “Then we will judge where
I tnust do something for the good
of the- country.”-
In shaping his Cabinet of 22
members, Diem retained 11 of his
old ministers. Among the 11 new
ones, he brought in four ministers
each from tlie Cao Dai arid Hoa
Hao sects.
. Gave Poltical Plums
He named himself minister of
defense and home affairs but Un
der pressure gave the nlums of
minister of state and national de
fense committee to two generals
—Gen. Tran Van Soai, command
er of the Hoa Hao army, and Gen.
Nguyen Thank Phuorig, com
mander of 20,000 Cao Daist troops.

For Food Surplus Lines
EPHRATA, Sept. 24 (£»)—Sen.
George M.. Leader, Democratic
candidate for governor* said to
night his Republican opponent,
Lloyd H. Wood, is having “a dif
ficult time oiitdrawing bulging
food surplus lines.”
Thees lines, said Leader, stand
as “a pathetic contradiction of Mr'
Wood’s expansive idea of good
times in Pennsylvania.”
President
Revisions
los Angeles, Sept. 24 (/p)—
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
promised anew today that his ad
ministration will remove “linion
busting” provisions from the Taffc-
Hartley law and he will give
sympathetic consideration to all
organized labor’s views.
Eisenhower received a politely
warm reception from delegates at
the American Federation of La
bor’s annual convention and was
interrupted a half dozen times by
applause.
While conceding that his admin
istration has so far failed to carry
out its pledge to change the Taft-
Hartley labor law, Eisenhower
said “a solid Democratic vote in
the Senate” had been responsible
for defeating his amendment pro
posals.
The President, continuing his
campaign to retain Republican
control over Congress in this fall’s
elections, made no direct app _ s'
for AFL support but asked the
ight into the Cabinet representatives of the powerful Cao Dai and
; commanders of sizeable armies maintained by the anti-Communist
2 Gunmen Escape
With $lOO,OOO Loot
MOUNT VERNON, N.Y., Sept. 24 (JP)— Two early bird gunmen
waited out the time mechanism of a bank vault today, then stole
$lOO,OOO.
It took them nearly 30 minutes—with the enforced help of jar
riving employees to open the double-combination ■ vault. One of
them even left the bank in the midst of the robbery to get twine
to bind employees.
The bandits described
selves as “wanted men.”
The pair threatened employees
with a gun, tied up manager Ed
mund' Tichenor and three of his
tellers, but did not actually harm
anyone.
November Sef
For Decision
On McCarthy
WASHINGTON, Sept. 24 (£>)—
The Senate will come back to
Washington Nov. 8 to consider in
the comparative quiet of an af
ter-election. session whether to
censure Sen. McCarthy-(R-Wis).
The date, which is six days af
ter the Nov. 2 election, was an
nounced by Sen. Knowland (R-
Calif) at his home in Oakland.
The Senate’s majority leader dis
closed it after conferring with
Sen. Lyndon. Johnson of Texas,
the Senate Democratic leader.
Vice President Nixon endorsed,
the choice of a post-election date.
There had been some agitation
to hold the special session earlier,
but a number of senators protest
ed that it would interfere with
political campaigns, if candidates
for reelection had to drop every
thing and return to Washington
before Nov. 2. Some were not
eager to go on record on the Mc-
Carthy isue before balloting day.
'Meanwhile, the special commit
tee which held public hearings on
the censure charges announced
completion of its report and said
it will be made public Monday.
It is reported to run 60,000 words,
divided about evenly between a
summary of the evidence and the
committee’s findings.
Chairman Watkins (R-U ta h)
said it had been approved unani
mously by the six-member com
mittee.

Promises to AFL
in Toft-Hartley Law
delegates to carry his “very best
wishes” to their union members.
'Eisenhower said he realized the
AFL, which supported Democratic
nominee Adlai Stevenson against
him in the 1952 presidential elec
tion, disagreed with him on cer
tain policies but he continues to
feel friendly toward the working
man.
After Eisenhower - finished
speaking, delegates gave him a
half-minute standing ovation.
AFL President George Meany
thanked him and said while the
AFL often disagrees with admin
istration policies, it recognizes “a
lot of nice things too.”
Dave Beck, an AFL vice presi
dent and head of the big AFL
Teamsters Union, said he believed
Eisenhower’s speech “convinced
everyone that in his heart he is
for labor, but I believe there are
things he wants to do but cannot
do because of political influences,

The FBI joined police in a search
for the bandits, both of them
young; arid rather roughly dressed.
A 13-state alarm was flashed for
them.
It was the first bank robbery
in the history of this Westchester
county community of about 72,-
000 just north of New York City.
The two bandits were waiting
when manager Edmund Tichenor
arrived at the rear door of the
bank at 7:30 a.m.—half an hour
before opening time.
“Do you know Fran Warren,
the singer?” one of them asked
the manager apparently feigning
a conversation of no significance.
“Well, it doesn’t make any dif
ference,” said the robber, whip
ping out a gun. “Get inside.”
With the vault finally open, the
bandits used adding machine cov
ers as bags into which they
scooped cash. Then they fled, ap
parently in a waiting automobile.
The money was on hand in the
bank for payrolls.
They had scarcely leit when
Tichenor managed to roll over to
a floor button with which, he
sounded an alarm to police head
quarters.
Patrolman John Bradley rushed
for his car at the alarm and head
ed for the bank. His car and an
other collided a few blocks away
and he was taken to a hospital.
One of the robbers was de
scribed as about 30, short and
stocky,. wearing a green “Eisen
hower” jacket and a wide
brimmed brown felt hat.
The other was about 20, of me
dium height, slender, and -wearing
a light tan jacket.
In 1953, the average value on

it came from the" mines was $5 a
ton.
and the AFL occasionally dis
agree, EiseAhower refrained from
going so far as did Secretary !of
Labor’Mitchell in a speech to the
convention earlier this week. Mit
chell accused the AFL of being
“unfair” in what he said was al
most steadfast AFL opposition to
everything carrying a Republican
party tag.
Eisenhower said there are many
things on which he and the AFL
agree, one being “absolute opposi
tion to communism in all its
forms.” And he said he didn’t
think the AFL wanted to return
to high taxes, greater cost of gov
ernment, or resumption of the Ko
rean fighting.
The President said two provi
sions he wants removed from the
Taft-Hartley law are the present
ban against strikers voting in Na
tional Labor Relations Board elec
tions and the requirement that
union leaders must file non-Com
munist affidavits for their unions
to use the NLRB.
FBI Join Police
UN Will Consider
U.S. Atom Proposal
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., Sept. 24 (/P) —With. Russia insisting oa
Recording a unanimous vote, the UN steering committee recom
mended today full General Assembly consideration of the new United
States proposals for peaceful uses of atomic energy.
With obvious heat, Soviet First Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei
Y. Vishinsky told the 15-member.committee that Moscow has not
rejected the proposals originally
laid down by President. Eisen
hower last Dec. 8, contrary to a
statement by Secretary Dulles
that it had. He read from a Soviet
note dated Sept. 22 stating the
Russians are ready to continue
conversations.
Vishinsky also said the Soviet
Union favored sending the Amer
ican item to the Assembly. When
the Assembly president, Elco N.
Van Kleffens, of the Netherlands,
said there was no opposition to
that move, Vishinsky demanded
that the .records show a unani
mous vote to prevent future mis
understandings. Van Kleffens
said it would.
Debate in Fall
The first debate will be held
later this fall in the Assembly’s
Political' Committee. e
Diplomats familiar with Russian
policy moves speculated that the
Russians eventually might try to
bring the American proposals
within the scope of the United
Nations. This would permit them
a voice in the operations of such
a plan.
them-
Some diplomats also professed
to believe that the Russians even
tually will find a way to join the
schejne, especially since they
have learned the United States
and some of its friends are going>
ahead with developing the plan
regardless of what the Soviet
Union does.
American Proposal
Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., chief
American delegate, told the steer
ing committee at a brief session
that the United States wanted to
put before the Assembly a new
item which follows:
“International cooperation in
developing the peaceful uses of
atomic energy: report of the
United States of America.”
Lodge said that the refusal of
the Soviet Union to join the plan
could not be allowed to prevent
the world from sharing benefits.

CIO Kicks Out
Commies, Other
Kinds of 'Scum'
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J., Sept.
24 (#>) The CIO United Steel
Workers of America barred their
doors to Communists today.
In the final action of a topsy
turvy convention, the 3000 dele
gates voted to change the union’s
constitution and make Commu
nists ineligible for membership.
“You will note,” said USW
President David J. McDonald,
“that we are barring from mem
bership Communists and other
types of scum.”
The constitution also excludes
from the union those workers
who “actively participate” in the
Ku Klux Klan or any “other Fas
cist, totalitarian, or other subverr
sive organization . . .”
Earlier, the delegates, repre
senting 1,200,000 USW members,
approved for the CIO political
action committee, a continuing
campaign for repeal of the Taft-
Hartley labor law and condemna
tion of the “pro-employer bias
exhibited by the new majority of
the National Labor Relations
Board.”
The convention climax came
yesterday when McDonald an
nounced he had no intention of
leading the steelworkers out of
the Congress of Industrial Organ
zations.
