Under questioning by Western
newsmen, Grotewohl said "per
haps" the Soviets would stick by
their old stand that the Western
troops leave Germany, too.
Six hours after the news con
ference the official East German
news agency ADN put out a cor
rection changing "perhaps" to
"n at u r ally"—thus emphasizing
that the Soviets intend to stay in
Germany as long as Allied powers
do.
Grotewohl told newsmen
he inter preted Khrushchev's
speech Monday, in Moscow as
meaning that the Soviet leader
was ready to negotiate-a troop
with drawal. Khrushchev was
vague and spelled out no terms.
In demanding Westerners get out
of West Germany, Khrushchev
had promised that the Soviet oc
cupation functions in East Berlin
would be handed over to the
Communist satellite regime.
Strikers Close
Chrysler Plants
DETROIT (R)— Striking union
ized office workers and engineers
shut down 16 Chrysler Corp.
plants employing 24,000 workers
Wednesday.
Chrysler and the UAW reached
agreement five weeks ago on a
new contract covering the firm's
70,000 hourly rated production
workers, but left terms for white
collar workers hanging.
Neither side has indicated when
bargaining may be resumed. It
was broken off with Tuesday's
walkout to support union de
mands for area wide seniority and
an automatic progressive step-up
in pay, among others.
In the 1890's the Commence
ment exercises extended over a
four or five day period and were
called Commencement Week.
the Western zone. There wasspec- ;
Illation they might periodically!
shut off traffic in an attempt to'
force Western nations to give full
diplomatic recognition to the East;
German regime. 1
State Department officials whoi
discussed the Soviet-East German!
maneuvering said, however, there ;
was no reason to believe the Reds
would use force to back up their,
demands at this time.
These authorities reported
their judgment in the wake of
new remarks by East German
Premier Otto Grotewohl about
the future of divided Berlin.
Few took seriously Grotewohl's
confusing remarks at a Berlin
news conference Wednesday about
his alleged intention to negotiate
soon for withdrawal of Soviet,
forces in Germany.
Evacuation of Red army units,
officials said, was the last thing
Grotewohl and his puppet regime
would want since it would leave
him at the mercy of the East
Germans.
What worried State Department,
experts was Khrushchev's an
nounced intention of turning over
all Russian responsibility in East
Berlin to representatives of the
East German regime.
This eventually would put
control of road. railway and
highway routes to West Berlin
in ,the hands of East Germans
who could then turn the traffic
on and off at will.
The United States, Britain and
France could be expected to pro
test vigorously against any Soviet
move to turn over traffic controls
to the East German authorities.
But, most officials acknowl
, edged there seemed little the Al
lies could do to stop it.

Heed Stops
Coup Try
BUENOS AIRES ( , Pl--- Argen
tine President Arturo Frondizi
last night smashed an attempted
Government House coup led by
Vire-President Alejandro Gomez.
Gomez was reported to have
demanded Frondizi's resignation
with a pretension of having armed
backing,
Frondizi in Turn demanded
that Gomez resign and now he
may have to do so.
Frondizi said Communists are
behind the strike. It is seen as a
test of strength between him and
supporters of exiled ex-dictator
Juan Peron who are lined up with
the Communists.
There was some speculation
that Frondizi might :ask for a
leave of absence or even resign as
the powerful labor groups pressed
their test of strength.
The showdown may give the
answer to just how much power
exiled Peron still wields in Ar
gentina.
A leading former Poron
henchman, John William Cooke,
was one of .the first jailed after
flying - back from Uruguay after
Frondizi proclaimed a state of
siege.
Frondizi took to bed with
grippe and fatigue but some in
formants say after six months of
civilian administration the mili
tary has again executed a virtual
coup d'etat, with the president
only a front man in the clash
with the Peronistas.
In defiance of the state of siege
ban on public demonstrations, the
state oil workers union ordered a
48-hour nationwide strike to begin
at midnight.
600 Planes Available
If Berlin Airlift Needed
WASHINGTON (JP)—The Unit
ed States could muster more than
600 aircraft for another Berlin
airlift if such action should be
come necessary in the current
disagreement over control of East
and West Germany.
Air authorities disclosing the
figure Wednesday said it would
include a number of 500-mile-an
hour jet planes.
More than 300 long-range four
engined airliners are included in
the civil reserve air fleet.
Eleven Die in Crash
Of Refueling Tanker
SAVANNAH, Ga• (Il')—Eleven Air Force crewmen died
Wednesday in the flaming wreckage of a KC97 refueling
tanker
The four-engine plane was blazing, witnesses reported,
before it descended to tredop level with its doomed crew.
It blew apart and fell with a
series of deafening explosions in
a residential area on the Isle of
Hope, 10 miles southeast of Sa
vannah
It crashed a few minutes after
a 2 p m. takeoff from Hunter Air
Force Base. Two houses were
wrecked. A civilian, working in
his garden, was burned severely
by burning wreckage.
Flames covered the crash area
after the tanker clipped the
tops off several trees anti
plowed a swath 100 feet wide
and 300 feet long into the
ground.
The plane apparently lost an
engine, said Maj. Robert H. Reed,
Hunter public information officer.
It dumped some fuel, he ex
plained, after taking off in an ef
fort to gain altitude.
Frightened re s i dents thought
the plane would hit a school or a
nearby playground, but it crashed
half a mile away.
"As the plane skimmed by,"
said Reva Odom, Savannah Morn
ing News staff writer, "a mem
ber of the crew was seen leaning
from a window and waving.
Pieces of torn and twisted
wreckage from the shattered
plane covered lawns in the
housing development.
The aircraft missed the resi
dence of Mrs. Kathleen L. Bar
bour by only a few feet. Her
house was damaged by the flying
debris.
Stassen's List of GOP
Candidates Omits Nixon
WASHINGTON (JP)—Harold E.
Stassen hoisted a new "dump

in the middle of the White House
lobby.
Emerging from a conference
with President Eisenhower, Stas

men he said he considered GOP
presidential possibilities in 1960.
Glaringly omitted was the name

ERSONALIZED COMFORT
Carpenters May
Quit AFL-CIO;
To Vote Today
ST. LOUIS (4')—Seceqsion from
the AFL-CIO was threatened Yes
terday by the Brotherhood of Car
penters and Joiners of America,
the world's largest craft union.
Hours after 2000 delegates to
the natienal convention had re
elected their indicted President
Maurice Hutcheson without oppo
sition, they empowered the broth
erhood's 15-member General
Executive Board to vote today
on whether to pull out of the
AFL-CIO. Some 1200 delegates
lined up behind the resolution.
In Washington, AFL-CIO sourc
es had no comment on the reso
lution, which said AFL-CIO lead
ers were "threatening and jeop
ardizing"' the brotherhood and
trying to "discredit and impugn"
its leadership.
The AFL-CIO Executive Coun
cil has asked Hutcheson to answer
charges of alleged corruption in
the Carpenters union with its
839,000 members.
Hucheson sent AFL-CIO Presi
dent George Meany word last
week ,that he couldn't be present
before the -council with a state
ment because he had to attend
the preliminaries of the conven
tion which began Monday.
On Monday, Hucheson mailed
to the council a copy of the state
ment given convention delegates
in which Hucheson said he was
innocent of charges that he tried
to bribe an Indiana right-of-way
official in the state's highway
scandals. Hucheson is under in
dictment in Indiana.
Malachi Boyer called his be
loved Indian maid, "Nita-nee,
Nita-nee." Little did he know
that her name would claim a
mountain and a valley.
