Janet' Hits
Ocean Isles;
100 Perish
MIAMI, Fla., Sept. 23 (JP)
Hurricane Janet, leaving an esti
mated 100 dead and thousands
homeless on Barbados in the
Windward Islands, caused north
west storm warnings on islands
off the South American coast as
she prowled westward on a ser
pentine course today.
Storm warnings went up over
the Dutch-owned oil islands of
Bonaire, Curacao and Aruba, and
over the Paranague peninusla on
the east side of the Gulf of Vene
zuela. .
A hurricane hunter plane pen
etrated the eye of Janet and at 5
p.m. EST its center was near lati
tude : 13.1 north, longitude 65.5
west, or about 300 miles south
southeast of San Juan, Puerto Ri
co. This was some -1350 miles
The storm’s serpentin4 path
southeast of Miami.
Moves at 13 MPH
carried it westward or west
northwestward at about 13 miles
an hour. Top winds, were esti
mated at 115 miles an hour over
a small area near the center.
Winds of gale force extended 125
miles north- and 100 miles south
of the eye.
Continued movement was pre
dicted toward the west, or west
northwest at about the same rate
during the night with some in
crease in intensity.
Path Causa Explained
Gordon Dunn, chief storm
forecasters. at Miami, said Janet’s
internal forces caused the storm
to follow a serpentine path.
So far, Janet has followed the
path of last year's Hazel, but this
is no prediction that she will con
tinue on Hazel’s course, said
Dunn. Hazel killed hundreds in
Haiti and went on to spread de
struction in the northeastern
United States.
DA Asks Appeal
For Doomed Wable
GREENSBURG, Pa., Sept. 23
(A 1 ) Defense Attorney A. C.
Scales said tonight he will file an
appeal with the state Supreme
Court tomorrow to try to save
convicted killer John Wesley Wa
ble from the electric chair next
Monday.
Scales said-the appeal will be
from the Westmoreland County
Court’s action last week in deny
ing a petition for a writ of habeas
corpus. Scales had asked for the
writ on grounds that some wit
nesses did not tell the “full truth”
at the trial.
Scales said he also will ask
the Supreme Court to grant a stay
of execution. He already has ask
ed Gov.-Leader to grant such a
stay.
Earlier today, Wable made a
personal effort to escape the chair
but lost.
o|il for Future Use
In State Predicted
BUTLER, Pa., Sept. 23 (JP)—
An oil company geologist said to
night the deeper formations of the
oil-bearing sands of the North
western Appalachian Basin may
give more oil and gas in the fu
ture than the area yielded in the
last 100 years.
Earl H. Linn, chief geologist of
Benedum-Trees Oil Co., said how
ever, the only way to tell is to
drill deep wells in the area. Linn
spoke at the Middle District Pro
ducers Association annual dinner.
The deep formations of the
Western Pennsylvania fields nev
er have been exploded, Linn said.
in an unusually-mild address by Molotov to the UN General
He exuded the Geneva spirit, but he failed to give Moscow’s
answer to President Dwight D.
Eisenhower’s “open sky” inspec
tion plan and he failed to budge
from basic Russian policy of re
cent years. '
Molotov promised to continue
studying President Eisenhower’s
plan to ascertain to what extent
it would contribute to a reduc
tion of armaments and settlement
of the problem of outlawing wea
pons. He did not mention Premier
Nikoli Bulganin’s letter to the
President, reported to have dealt
with the Eisenhower plan.
Molotov reminded the As
sembly the Soviet Union has
decided to reduce its armed
forces by 640,000 men as of
Dec. 15. He expressed hope
other powers possessing sub
stantial armed forces would
lake steps , as a good will ges
ture without waiting for an in
ternational convention.
He recalled the Russians are
turning back to Finland the mili
tary base in the Porkkala area.
He said that at the end of the
year there will be no Soviet mili
tary bases on the territories of
other states and the Soviet Union
has proceeded from “words to
deeds.” He added this gives the
Russians reasons to call on other
powers to give up their bases on
foreign territories.
Molotov made, these points in
his world-ranging review of con
ditions:
1. The Geneva conference of
the Big Four in July raised new
hopes among peoples of the
world. The Big Four foreign
ministers should build on that
basis when they meet at Gen
eva Oct. 27.
2. The German problem will
find its solution through the set
ting up of an all-European se
curity system.
3. Communist China should
have its “rightful” place in the
United Nations. The problems of
Korea and Indochina must be
settled.
41 There are no grounds for
revision of the UN charter. The
aim should be to achieve joint
action by slates and in partic
ular the big powers in the Se
curity Council.
5. The Soviet Union will sup
port the simultaneous admission
of “the 16 states which have ap
plied for membership.”

Jazz Ban in
BUFFALO, N.Y., Sept. 23 ( JP)
—lt isn’t that jazz is unworthy,
said the management of Buffalo’s
fanciest concert hall today, it’s
just that the joint simply can’t
stand all that jumping.
But the jazz ban riled the jazz
band anyhow and the buffs were
done out of a top-drawer demon
stration of what they call Amer
ica’s only native art form in
music.
Jan had one of Us most able
debaters on hand for the fray
—Norman Grans of "Jasi at
the Philharmonic."
Granz fired the first volley
when he took a look at the neigh
borhood movie house engaged for
the troupe’s Buffalo appearance
last night. He said the theater
was wholly inadequate; he can
celled the performance and re
funded more than $3OOO to ticket
holders.
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
NewsmanTellsSecret Request
By FDR for A-Bomb Subsidy
CONNELLSVILLEt, Pa., Sept. 23 (A I )—A congressman’s long-ago
story of how President Franklin D. Roosevelt asked for and was
granted two billion dollars for an “ultra-secret undertaking”—that
turned out t 9 be the atomic bomb
—was reported here today.
News Editor John Whoric of
the Connellsville Courier related
the story he said was told him
privately by the late Rep. J. Buell
Snyder (D-Pa.) shortly after the
atomic bombing of Hiroshima in
1945.
Rep. Snyder was wartime chair
man of the appropriations sub
committee of the House Military
Affairs Committee. His story, as
related by Whoric, said:
Congressman Snyder and his
colleagues were called before
the President who said he
wanted them to make available
to him two billion dollars for
some experimental work, the
nature of which he was unable
to reveal to them.
The story quoted Snyder as
saying: . . , ,
“He (the President) insisted
that ‘You gentlemen will have to
Adenauer Wins
Bundestag OK
On USSR Talks
BONN, Germany, Sept. 23
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer to
day won unanimous parliamen
tary approval of his agreement to
establish diplomatic reltaions with
the Soviet Union.
It cleared the way for Bonn and
Moscow to exchange ambassadors
before the conference of the Big
Four foreign ministers in Geneva
next month.
Both governments are anxious
to set up the new embassies be
fore this crucial meeting that
could decide the fate of Germany
for years to come.
The Foreign Office said discus
sions between the West German
and Soviet Embassies in Paris
will start within 48 hours.
With the opposition Socialists
voting with Adenauer’s govern
ment coalition parties, the Bunde
stag supported the reservations
that he outlined to Soviet Premier
Nikolai Bulganin in agreeing to
set up formal relations.
These declare that Germany’s
final frontiers can be settled only
in a peace treaty, that Adenauer’s
government speaks for all Ger
many, and that the oCmmunist
East German regime “with no
freely elected representatives”
does not represent the 18 million
East Germans.
Buffalo Riles Jazz Band
“It's incredible a city like Buf
falo, which boasts of possibly one
of the finest audtioriums in Am
erica, doesn’t see fit to hold jazz
concerts in there,” he said.
The management of Klein
hans Music Hall, a modern
3000-seal auditorium and cul
tural center that houses the
Buffalo Philharmonic Orches
tra. was quick to deny the im
plication.
Granz and his company rented
Kleinhans for their annual ap
pearance here until two years
ago, but the music hall’s board
of directors said the risks of jazz
concerts weren’t worth the rental.
“We’d welcome Mr. Granz if
his audiences would behave,” said
Mrs. Winifred E. Corey, director
of the music hall. “We used to
insist on ... 16 special policemen

Russian Air Progress
May Prompt Expansion
Of USAF Wing Strength
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23 (JP) —Continued Russian progress in the
air may force the United States to consider its Air Force beyond
the 137-wing strength it will reach by mid-1957.
The situation was discussed today by General Thomas White,
vice chief of the Air Force, who said:
“The Joint Chiefs of Staff have concluded that for the time
being the goal of 137 wings will meet the heed, but if the Soviets
trust me because the plan is a
top secret.’ He said that if the
experiment is successful it would
be of a world-shaking nature. If
the plan ends in failure, then it
will have to go down as a well
intentioned experiment.
"As I recall, il was probably
one of the most serious meet
ings we ever held with the
President. Every man in the
room apparently realized the
significance of the step that
they would be making in heed
ing Mr. Roosevelt's request.
“He tried to impress us with
the importance of the proposed
experiment so that he could
not divulge the nature of the plan
because of its vast importance.
"I never knew about it but
the -day the announcement was
made that the atomic bomb had
been dropped on Hiroshima I
knew that that had been the big
experiment."
Jury Acquits
Half-Brothers
In Delta Killing
SUMNER, Miss., Sept. 23 (JP)
—A Mississippi Delta jury today
acquitted in one hour and seven
minutes two white half-brothers
in the slaying of a vacationing
Chicago Negro boy.
The verdict came after three
jury ballots.
It climaxed one of the most
explosively tense American trials
in years. The case stirred racial
anger from Northern Negro cen
ters down into the heart of the
Deep South.
The defendants, Roy Bryant,
24-year-old Money, Miss., general
store keeper, and his half-broth
er John W. Milam, 36, were ac
cused of the Aug. 28 kidnap
slaying of 14-year-old Emmett
(Bobo) Till, a South Side Chicago
boy.
However, the defense cast doubt
a body taken from the Tallahat
chie River three days after the
abduction really was Till’s.
It could have been a racial
“rabblerouser’s plant,” the de
fense argued. The foreman of the
jury said the issue of the body’s
identification was the chief mo
tive behind the verdict.
Young Till was kidnaped from
his uncle’s cottonfield shack Aug.
28.
concerts, apd sometimes there
were as many as 50 policemen on
duty there, inside the auditorium
and outside.
"The crowd in the balcony
used to stamp their feet until
oyu could almost f9el the build
ing shake/* Granz said it wasn't
the audiences that promoted
ban.
“Because a few fools throw pop
bottles at the umpire, nobody
suggests banning all baseball
games,” he remarked. “Jazz is
the only native art form we
have in music. We have never
produced a great classical com
poser in this country. Why ban
jazz?”
And then came the unkindest
cut of all:
"Especially why ban it in
Buffalo, which cannot be said
to have a top-ranking sym
phony orchestra?"
make gains in quality we may
have to consider more nearly
matching their quantity.”
Up to now the American ‘policy
has been to rely on what it con
siders a qualitative lead to over
come Russia’s numerical advan
tage in aircraft.
States U.S. Strength
Present U.S. Air Force strength
is about 124 wings. The size of a
wing varies from 75 fighters to
30 heavy bombers.
“The U.S. Air Force, said White,
has “thousands less” combat
planes than the Red air force.
He. put the Soviet strength at
20,000 planes.
Reds' Power Told
White said the Russians are per
fecting new atomic weapons and
guided missiles, and are carrying
out another nuclear weapons test
“right after the summit confer
ence at Geneva” on peace. He
said there is “great emphasis” on
the development of an intercon
tinental guided missile; that a
“most threatening development”
is the appearance of the new Rus
sian heavy, long range, ’jet bomb
er, the Bison; that the whole So
viet air base system is being re
vamped to handle the new air
force.
From the Navy came a some
what similar warning. Admiral
Arleigh Burke, chief of naval op
erations, said Soviet sea power
has “increased rapidly,” with
Russia building more new cruis
ers, destroyers and submarines
than all the other countries com
bined since the end of World War
11.
