2 SECTIONS SIX CENTf Arkansas Troops Warn Newsmen 5-Power Talks Virtually With No Accord Big Soviet Jet Airliner Lands in New Jersey Hopes to Make Regular Flights to U. S. in Near Future By RELaiAN AIORIN MCGUIRE'AIR FORCE BASE, N.J. is bidding for a commercial airline agreement with the States and American airmen expressed unstinted admiration today for the Soviet jet transport that has made the trip from 'Moscow. The TU104, silvery, big-bodied and powerful, set down at McGuire Air Force Base last night, the first Russian passenger airliner ever to land in the United States.

higlily placed Soviet lOfficial read a prepared statenTent from the steps of the ramp; "Let this, flight be the beginning of regular flights between the Soviet Union and the United States," he said. "Hail to the friendship of the Soviet and American peoples." By special agreement, the TU104 brought 40 members of the Russian delegation to the United Nations across the route from Moscow to the Air Force base in New Jersey. Have Other Liner The twin-j'et liner, delayed by bad weather and refuelling stops took a total elapsed time of 21 hours, 54 minutes. Crewmen fixed the actual flying time at just over hours. The Russians say they have other jet liners, bigger than the TU104, tliat will fly nonstop from Moscow to New York.

American and British airmen, up to guide the TU104 through British and American airspace, had high praise-for its performance. "It's an excellent ship," said Capt. Boris N. Dubson, 37, of San Francisco, senior navigator. "It's smooth in flight and has very, good performance at both high and low speeds." Two other American airmen, Capf.

Harold Renegar, 33, of Keller, pilot, and M.Sgt. Gaylord Robinson, 33, of Marietta, radio operator, also were aboard. Briton Adds Praise Squadron Leader Lawrence (Continued on Page 8, Col. 4) New Traffic Code Published Today A full text of the new Rock County traffic ordinance is published on Pages 17-20 of tonights' Janesville Gazette. The official notice results from county board action on the new regulations voted at the meeting of Aug.

20. The new ordinance is broken down by sections, and covers such topics as driving, meeting, overtaking and passing other vehicles; right-of-way; turning and stopping and required signals; traffic signs, signals and markings; required stops, restrictions on stopping and parking; speed regulation; accidents and accident reports; and equipment of vehicles. During the 1957 session, the Legislature re-wrote the state traffic code. In order to be legal, the county traffic ordinance must follow with exactness the state so that the regulations published are virtually a copy of the current statutes. The county enacts its own traffic ordinance so that fines are retained locally.

For traffic cases brought under the state law, the county keeps half, sends the rest to Madison. West and Bussia Are Deadlocked; Formal End Awaited LONDON iiei The five-power London disarmament talks apparently were as good as over today with the usual lack ol agreement. The West and the Russians were even deadlocked over who would take the initiative in ending negotiations Another meeting of the U.N. disarmament subcommittee was scheduled today despite, the latest Soviet assertion that there was "no for further discussion of Western proposals. That Soviet was put forward last night at a Russian Embassy news briefing shortly after Valerian Zorin, the Soviet disarmr, ament delegate, again told the subcommittee the Western proposals were not acceptable.

No Basis for Talks A Soviet spokesman told reporters there was no basis for negotiation in the package plan presented last week by the -United States, Britain, France and Canada, the subcommittee's four Western members. "We are not ready to accept them," he said. "It seems to me there is no room for further discussion of these proposals." With the SMt-month-old negotiations now tightly deadlocked, the next obvious step was to refer the whole matter back to the parent 12-nation Disarmament Commission in New York and ultimately to the U.N. General Assembly session opening there Sept, 17; Neither side appeared willing to' take the responsibility for bring-! ing the London conference to a close. Moratorium Sought The two main features of the West's package disarmainent plan call for a two-year on nuclear weapon tests dependent on a cut-off in atomic production for military purposes; and air and ground inspection against the danger of surprise attack.

This would be tied up with cuts in armed forces and conventional arms. The Russians still demand an immediate and unconditional ban on atomic tests and use of atomic weapons, the the West's only counter to the numerically superior Communist armies. "Zorin complained that the Western proposal for a two-year, halt to nuclear weapon tests is "tied up in a maze of conditions which rob it of its essential value." But he did not reply when asked yesterday by U.S. delegate Harold Stassen to specify any conditions he believed unworkable. GOVERNOR'S MANSION GUARDED Arkansas National Guardsmen stand guard in front of Gov.

He was taken to the home of iiis parents, Mr.

and Mrs. William Downing and later removed to Mercy Hospital where it was found he had suffered rather serious internal injuii-es. Darryle's cries for help were first heard by Richard Brieske, 125 N. Washington foreman of the Blodgett Mill. Brieske was specting the river bank at the time.

He told police DarryJe was striBtched out along a soaked drift log wedged about mid-river on the south side of the trestle. Brieske called to two men on the bank, and they went to the trestle above the boy. One of the men, still unidentified, lowered himself off the trestle and climbed down a cross-beam to the water level. Darryle, who was stunned, scooted up the log to where the man could get hold of his collar. The man then helped Darryie up the slanting cross brace until Brieske and the other unidentified rescuer could get hold of his hand.

The two men on the trestle pulled, him up by holding onto the railroad tracks. Darryle told his rescuers he had been walking his bicycle across the trestle when he stumbled over railroad spikes which stick up four inches on both sides of the trestle. As the boy stared to walk home, Brieske noticed the boy's stomach was swollen. Brieske drove the youth to his home and called an ambulance. A crew from the Blodgett MUl fished the youth's bicycle out of about six feet of water.

Teamsters Deny Union Corruption WASHINGTON Teamsters Union leaders today denied their union is corruptly dominated. They also said they plan reforms at the union's coming convention. That was the gist of the union's reply, given to the AFL-CIO ethical practices committee, to federation charges against the truckers. The "Teamsters delegation was led by the union President Dave Beck and Midwest Teamsters boss James R. Hoffa, heir-apparent to Beck as head of the IV2 million member union.

Beck is under indictment on charges of income tax evasion, and has been accused by the Senate Rackets Committee of misusing hundreds of thousands of dollars of union funds.

National Guardsmen called out to prevent integration at Central High School today tried to break up a New York newspaperman's interview with persons in a shouting turbulent segregationist crowd.

None of the nine Negroes, who were turned away by the cold steel of Guardsmen Wednesday showed up this morning. Negroes Turned Away Six Negroes, identifyuig themselves as Ai-kansas Baptist College students, were escorted fi'om the sciiool area. They said they came to the school to see what was happening. A Guard officer told them, "It'll be best if you turn around and walk the other way." The Negroes complied. The ever-changing racial picture took a new turn in the past 12 hours as Faubus charged that the federal government was plotting to arrest him.

President Eisenhower, now vacationing at Newport, R. said Faubus' allegation was "not correct." The governor was not immediately available for comment. No Talk of Arrest James C. Hagerty, White House press secretary, said "there has been no discussion in Little Rock or Washington or any place else' concerning an arrest of the governor; Today Hagerty also said port that there is no truth to what he called another report "to the effect that U. S.

marshals or their deputies have been ordered to escort Negro children to school" here. Troops here this morning tried iio break up interviews Ben Fine of the New York Times was holding with the crowd. Fine said a colonel whom he could not immediately identify' told him that "If you do that again, you'll have to to interviews. Demonstrators shouted, "He's from the North. He doesnt want the truth."

Maj. Gen. Sherman T. Ginger later called a press conference behind National Guard lines to warn newsmen: "You'll be arrested and fined if you do anything that might be inciting a breach of tlie peace."

Dist. Judge Ronald N. Davies ordered Central High integrated. He repeated the order Tuesday. Up to 270 armed under the command of Gov.

Faubus and not federal military remained on the campus since Monday. Rapped by Mayor Gov. Orval Faubus last night telegraphed an appeal to President Eisenhower to intervene in the stormy Little Rock school inte gration crisis. As the governor's message was on its way to Eisenhower, Mayor Woodrow Mann of Little Rock issued a statement accusing Faubus of "creating tensions where none existed" in calling out National Guardsmen to prevent integration. Faubus ui'ged the President to action which would halt the threat of "interference of federal agents" in the question of whether Negroes an'd whites shall attend classes together at Little Rock's Central High School.

Tlie governor termed the situation "explosive." Faubus had defied the order of U.S. District Judge Ronald N. Davies for integration of nine Negroes among 2,000 white students at the high school. When the Negroes tried to get in yesterday morning. Guardsmen refused them admittance.

Bearder, 20, Lake Geneva, entered a plea of not guilty to a charge of negligent homicide in Walworth County Court this The charge was filed by Dist. Atty. Erwin C. Zastrow, as the result of a boat collision July 30 on Geneva Lake and the subsequent death by drowning of Lawrence E. (Joe) Cardoni, 48.

Delavan. Atty. William Trinke, Lake Ge neva, speaking for the youth, waived reading of the information and preliminary hearing and asked for trial by jury. County Judge Roscoe Luce transferred the case to Cii'cuit Court for trial and continued bond at $1,000. Zastrow said the case would be scheduled for the fall term which opens Nov.

12. As criminal cases are usually heard before other matters and pretrial conferences apt to take up the first week of the term, it appears that the Bearder trial may begin about Nov. 18. Cardoni, who operated the Tally- Ho Inn west of Delavan at the in-- tersection of Highways 14, 11 and 89, was fishing at the narrows of Geneva Lake at dusk July 30. Harry Schmidt, Delavan, was in the rowboat with him.

Witnesses at a coroner's inquest held here Aug. 2, said they believed that the Beaider boat, a 125-horsepower Inboard, struck the rowboat and jolted Cardoni- into the water. Cardoni could not swim and efforts of Schmidt and other boaters to reach him were futile. His body was recovered from feet of water on Aug. 1.

The verdict of the coroner's jury stated that "Cardoni came to his death by drowning as the result of negligjnt operation of a motorboat driven by James Bearder." A second and lesser charge of careless, negligent or reckless operation of a motorboat was included in he warrant. Young Bearder was accompanied only by his father, Al, and Trinke for his court appearance this morning. A half-dozen spectators were present in the County Court room for the arraignment.

Population Will Determine Serum Share to States WASHINGTON The new Asian flu vaccine will be allocated to the states according to population. Announcing this last night, the Public Health Service said "a program giving each state and terri tory its fair share of the seems to be the most equitable way of distributing the vaccine geographically throughout the country." The Health Service said the six licensed manufacturers had agreed to this voluntary allocation system as proposed by Surgeon General Leroy E. Burnoy.

'Tlie arrangement goes into effect at once. The Health service endorsed a proposal that states and communities set up advisory committees to recommend what groups should get inoculations of the still- scarcc vaccine.

The utiUty contended its rate of return in 1956 was only 5.41 per cent. Averages 1.5 Per Cent The over-all increase averages 15 per cent. In a few instances, however, the new rates will mean a reduction for some customers.

This will occur in communities where the earnings of utility exceeded in proportion the authorized rates. In other instances where the earnings have been below the proportion to the rates, the increases will be considerably higher than the 15 per cent. The commission' said that the largest increase will be for the village of Glidden where increases in rates will be about 65 per cent.
