Duff Calls
Democrats
Defamers
EBENSBURG, Pa., Oct. 14 <7P)
—Sen. James H. Duff (R.-Pa.) to
night . described Pennsylvania
Democratic candidates as defam
ers and fault finders.
In his first appearance of ■ the
1954 campaign, Duff said:
“My politics has always been to
be for something—to have a con
structive program of . action for
the benefit of all the people . .
He added in a speech prepared
for a Cambria, County rally rthat
: -ce his return from abroad he
had heard that some of the Demo
cratic candidates, “with, nothing
much to offer except their desire
for office,” find fault with almost
everything and with almost ev
erybody except themselves in
Pennsylvania.
“They are defamers and fault
finders because they have nothing
constructive to offer.”
The former governor called
Pennsylvania a Republican state.
“The enormous progress we hpve
made in Pennsylvania has been
under Republican administrations.
. . . Pennsylvania under Repub
lican administrations has stood for
progress.”
Meanwhile at a Williamsport
rally, Wood came out in support
of another east-west section of the
Pennsylvania Turnpike to cross
north or central Pennsylvania.
Wood - also said it will be his
aim, if elected, to “protect the tax
money paid for better roads so
the motoring public gets a fair
shake.”
Wilson Speech
Causes Protest
By the Associated Press
Repercussions from Secretary
of Defence Charles W. Wilson’s
dissertation on dogs still echoed
along, the political front yester
day, with Vice President. Nixon
predicting the whole thing would
wind up as a “plus” item in the
GOP campaign. .
Discussing pne aspect of the
unemployment situation at the
Detroit conference, Wilson’ had
remarked, “and I’ve ’got a lot of
sympathy for people where a
sudden change catches ’em—but
I’ve always liked bird dogs better
than kennel dogs. You knbw, one
who’ll get out and hunt for food
rather than sit on his fanny'and
yell.”
This brought a roar of protest
from union leaders, Democrats,
and even some members of Wil
son’s own party.
Nixon, in Houston, Tex., on a
■ speech-making tour, told a news
conference yesterday that left
wing elements and “dumbocrats”
distorted Wilson’s statement, with'
the first “bark” coming from CIO
President Walter Reuther.

and that delegates of the United
States, Britain, and France ' also
were studying. the Russian sug
gestions. These five . countries
would make the five-power group
to be set up under terms of the
Western resolution.
The Russian conditions may be
accepted by the West in an at

sub-committee of the disarma
ment commission which wrangled
.to a deadlock in London last

in the Western resolution. One
amendment would change the ti

include a reference to the Soviet
proposal.
The other would mention the
Russian proposal specifically in
directing the disarmament com
mission, from which the five
power group would be constituted,
to study-the arms problem again.
Mansfield Warns
Of Indochina Peril
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14 ( JP ) —A report by a number of the Sen
ate Foreign Relations Committee today said the situation in Indo
china has seriously deteriorated and in South Viet Nam there is
danger it “could, give way to complete internal chaos.”
The report, made by Sen. Michael J. Mansfield (D-Mont.) to the
full committee, urged immediate suspension of U.S. aid “preliminary
to a complete reappraisal of our
present policies” if the tottering
South Viet Nam government
should fall.
Mansfield, who returned last
week from a two-month study
mission to Indochina, also recom
mended that the Senate study
losses of U;S. military equipment
and other aid in Viet Nam, Laos,
and Cambodia. He said expendi
tures there- since 1950 have ex
ceeded $2,600,000,000.
He said according to best avail
able estimates “some 25 per cent
of American economic aid went
into areas which are now held by
the Communists, an unwitting
gift .-. .”
, Under the Geneva cease fire
agreement of last summer, the
state of Viet Nam was divided
into two zones, with Communists
controlling the North zone and
non-Uommunists controlling the
South, pending a general election
in 1956. A commission composed
of representatives of Canada, Po
land and India is to supervise the
election. . .
Mansfield cited one instance in
which he said U.S. assistance
made possible major improve
ments to the Hanoi airport “now
passed intact to the Communists.”
“It’s new American - aid - built
runway can handle heavy bomb
ers capable of striking at our
bases in the Philippines,” he add

Vicious Storm
Wii! Hurl Fury
At Carolinas
HATTERAS, N.C., Oct. 14 (IP)—
Hurricane Hazel, gaining speed
and expected to move still faster,
aimed its death-dealing fury at
the North Carolina coast tonight.
The season’s most vicious tropi
cal storm, with winds of 130 miles
an hour and moving north-north
west at 25 to 30 m.p.h., was ex
pected -to strike land near Wil
mington, N.C., about 5 a.m. The
Miami Weather BUrehu warned
that winds, would increase along
the coast " north of" the storm
throughout the night.
The weather bureau said Hazel
was centered about 275 miles east
of Daytona Beach, Fla., and about
350 miles southeast of Wilmington
at 8 p.m.
A Navy reconnaissance plane
planned to keep tabs on the hur
ricane by radar throughout the
night.
North Carolina coastal dwellers
worked feverishly to prepare for
the savage storm which caused un
counted death and destruction as
it lumbered through the Carib
bean.
Storm-wary New Englanders,
already' battered by two death
dealing hurricanes this year, hur
ried preparations against Hazel
just in case the storm maintained
its. course and hit there.

LONDON, Oct.' 14 (IP) Em
peror Haile Selassie of Ethiopia
rode through the streets of Lon
don with Queen Elizabeth II and
the Duke of Edinburgh, tying up
traffic in a golden autumn sunset

country' overrun by Mussolini’s
fascist troops.
sive single problerh in South Viet
Nam revolves around the current
political crisis which has immo
bilized the government of Ngo

He called Diem a “virtual pris

London Strikes Stir
Cabinet To Action
. LONDON, Oct. 14 ( JP ) —A worried Cabinet urgently considered
today the spreading chaos in this huge metropolis caused by wildcat
dock and bus strikes.
Walkouts spread throughout the day. Only one ship in the miles
of London wharves was being worked. Industrial experts estimated
between a quarter and a .third of Britain’s overseas trade was at a
standstill. More than a third of the
city’s 7100 buses stood idle in their
garages, upsetting surface trans
port.
May Become National
Union pleas to dock strikers to
return to work to permit negotia
tion of their grievances were
countered by strike committee
predictions the stoppage “will be
come national.”
Sir Walter Monckton, minister
of labor, and John Boyd-Carpen
ter, minister of transport, reported
to' a 35-minute Cabinet meeting
specially called by Prime Minister
Winston Churchill. While no im
mediate government intervention
was expected* it was thought the
ministers approved an emergency
action plan should the strikes be
gin to affect essential food sup
plies and other services.
One drastic step which the gov
ernment could take would be to
call troops to ,the docks to unload
perishable cargoes.
. Demand Higher Wages
The bus strike stems from a de
mand for higher pay and better
working conditions. The drivers
and conductors recently began a
ban on overtime in support of
their demand for a weekly mini
mum wage of 10 pounds ($2B).
Seven thousand members of the
National Amalgamated Stevedores
and Dockers began the walkout
almost two weeks ago because of
A dispute over overtime and work
ing conditions. More, than 14,000
members of the rival Transport
and General Workers Union
joined in sympathy.
Arthur Deakin, ’ general secre
tary of the Transport and General
Workers Union, meantime issued
an “urgent appeal” to members
to" return to work so that the
union leadership could negotiate
a “reasonable settlement.”

Finn Premier
To Step Down
HELSINKI, Finland, Oct. 14 (JP)
—Premier Ralf Toerngren’s coali
tion government resigned today
because the farm-minded Agrar
ians and the working class Social
ists split over the price of milk.
Toerngren, who as a member of
the minority Swedish People’s
party was in a position to arbi
trate the dispute, tried to recon
cile his quarreling colleagues
with a compromise proposal. Both
sides rejected it, and the Premier
handed in the resignation to Pres
ident Juho Paasikivi.
The president accepted the res
ignations, but asked Toerngren to
hold office on a caretaker basis
while efforts are made to form
Finland’s 13th government since
the end of World War 11. •
The present price of milk is 27
marks, about 12 U.S. cents per
liter—a little more than a quart.
The Agrarians had asked an in
crease of T 8 pennises, about a
10th of a cent.
US. to Observe
Vets Day Nov, 77
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14 (JP)—
A national committee met today
to heat up plans for observing the
first major change in a national
holiday in 16 years.
For on Nov. 11 this nation will
drop Armistice Day, which it has
been celebrating since 1938,- and
begin the observance of Veterans
Day.
The committee, headed by Vet
eran's Administrator Harvey V.
Higley, has the job of stirring up
interest in the renamed holiday.
Strictly speaking, this country
has no national legal holidays.
Congress can be-it-resolved all it
wants to, but it’s still up to the
states to decide which holidays
they will authorize.
Well, then why change it?
