a a Grotewohl al Retreats On Red Troop Move Kremlin Orders Change Mind Of East Zone Chief BERLIN (P- Premier Otto Grotewohl beat a hasty retreat last night -apparently on orders from the Kremlin indicating might be willing to withdraw troops from Germany without waiting for the West to pull out. A revised version of a statement the Communist East German premier gave a news conference made clear the Kremlin was not retreating on its stand that Soviet troops will stay as long as Western armies remain. Grotewohl, in an expansive mood, had told a news conference in East Berlin his regime expected to open talks soon with Soviet Premier Ni- kita Khrushchev on withdrawal of Russian troops from East Germany. Under questioning from Western newsmen. Soviets Grotewohl would said stick "per- by their old stand that the Western troops leave Germany, too.

Six hours after the news conference the official East German agency put out; correction changing "perhaps" to "naturally" thus emphasizing that the Russians intend to stay in Germany as long as Allied powers do. Grotewohl told newsmen he interpreted Khrushchev's speech Monday in Moscow as meaning that the Soviet leader was ready to negotiate a Russian troop withdrawal. Khrushchev was vague and spelled out no terms. In Bonn the West German govemment Wednesday rejected in unusually strong language Khrushchev's call for an end of the four-power occupation of Berlin. It accused the Soviet premier of pursuing a policy endangering world peace.

Khrushchev had charged the Bonn government, a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization was "treading a road danto the cause of peace, and Ferous, West Germany itself." In demanding Western troops get out of West Germany, Khrushchev had promised that the Soviet occupation functions in East Berlin would be handed over to the Communist satellite regime. Russia has 22 crack divisions of about 500,000 men in East Germany. This is the main Soviet striking force confronting the Atlantic defense line. The has refused to conpact, sider withdrawing its troops until Germany is unified through free elections. Grotewohl's backtracking arose out of set of circumstances.

First that he hoped a new these, agreement would be reached concerning Soviet troops in negotiations between Russia and regime. He said he hoped this settlement would encourage the Western powers to follow suit with their own troops. He was asked whether such a settlement would mean Russian withdrawal of their troops and according to ADN, the East German news he replied: "Yes, I interpret the speech of Mr. Khrushchev as an announcement for a re-examination of this question with the aim to withdraw, perhaps under the proviso that the other powers will take the same step. I say-perhaps." TE Last night ADN changed "perhaps" to read "naturally" and deleted the final quote "I say-per-(laws haps." Grotewohl indicated Khrushchev was not planning a quick grab at West Berlin, but hoped for a broader deal on all Germany which would get Aliled troops out of both Berlin and West Germany.

The East German premier was asked if Khrushchev had told him when the Russians would hand over their occupation functions in Berlin. Grotewohl replied laughingly: they have given us no indications. The only thing we know is what we read in the newspapers." Probation Given In Assault Case A 22-year-old Negro woman was placed on three years proba. tion Wednesday after previously pleading guilty to aggravated assault in the wounding of her boyfriend with a .22 calibre pistol.

Complaints also have been received from other still unidentified Alabama counties.

These may be consolidated and heard at the same time. The hearing is expected to be open, "very informal," and last two days, Storey said. The commission at a closed meeting, decided also to hold a national conference on school integration, in Nashville, during the last week in February. Officials of local public school systems and others will be invited in an attempt to collect all available information about the problems involved in transition from segregated to integrated public schools. Commission Chairman John A.

Hannah said the conference would be concerned primarily with southern and border areas, including some which have integrated their schools voluntarily and others which have integrated because court orders. Hannah said the conference was called after inquiry developed that no other government agencies were making an adequate investigation in this area. The commission also identified New York City as the area in which it described last' month as a northern state where the commission investigating voting complaints based on national origin.

The second home was under, construction, but no workmen were there when the plane hit. The Air Force identified six of the dead as follows: 1st Lt.

Since St. Joe Paper owns a majority of these bonds, it would have control of reorganized FEC by virtue of the common stock it would receive in exchange. The FEC has 800 miles of track, including a double-line 366-mile link between Jacksonville and Miami. It has been operated by trustees since it went into bankruptey. Noting that it once found that St.

Joe-duPont control of the FEC would not be compatible with public interest, the ICC said additional evidence it received "refutes the assumption that the FEC would be made an alter ego of either St. Joe or the duPont trust." Drivers Leave Scenes In Two Accidents Here The Florida Highway Patrol Wednesday night made delayed reports of accidents evening in which a driver involved in each left the scene. One is still at large. An unidentified woman telephone caller set the highway patrol going on one Wednesday morning when she reported a car was sitting upside down in a canal along Hypoluxo one of a mile west of Military Tr. The car, a 1951 sedan, was a total loss.

Trooper L. D. Harrell said it belonged to Orlen o. Rooks, 48, Rt. 1, Delray Beach.

Rooks stated he was driving east at a high rate of speed, about 6 p.m., lost control of the car which ran off the road onto a shoulder and rolled down a 14-foot embankment, coming to rest on its top. The driver, uninjured, left on foot. No charges were placed against him, the patrol said. The driver of a pickup truck which rammed the rear of another pickup about 6:10 p.m. Tuesday on Military Trail also departed, the FHP stated, and had not been found Wednesday evening.

The mishap occurred about 6:10 p.m., 500 feet south of Okeechobee Rd. Driver of the truck which was struck was James A. Woodward, Box 173, Davis West Palm Beach. (Continued from Page One) Decision Due noise problem also will decrease as time goes by. three airports Lantana, Pahokee, The director of this and PBIA also was optimistic about another problem, that of complaints concerning noises at Lantana, where small craft land.

He said the county also is thinking of moving Lantana Airport farther west. But he couldn't say when. He indicated, however, that a move west is not in immediate plans. A new "jet age" PBIA also is not in the cards for many years. If it is decided to move west, it will require from three to five years to build the new airport.

The present land used for PBIA would be sold for an estimated $7.5 million if it is decided to move west, Sakser said. of It was brought out during the meeting that the present localine customers who complain of tion is more convenient en for three hours to fly to the city and four to get from the airport to the hotel," an exaggeration of flying time compared with surface travel in a crowded city. is Another point brought out by Sakser was that the airlines pro alle- vide "a small part" of airport Ri- revenue. He said general aviaare tion (which doesn't include airlines) contributes some 67 per vote cent and airlines about 14 per nor cent of average airport revenue. Sakser expressed regret that the Air Force will de activate its base at PBIA on July 1 of next and year.

He said the loss of revenue as a result will be "a severe He shock." He expressed hope, however, that constantly increasing pasbe senger traffic, plus general and commercial aircraft business, will "take up the slack." He said general and executive aircraft, such as used by Fairbanks, Morse and "one of our best customers," is the "seg- ment to be developed." Sakser said the new Delta, and Capital service definitely not be started here this season. He said, however, that the first turbo props may be landing here "this fall." Sakser said PBIA expects to have a quarter million gers this year, and that the the airport "has operated in black every year." PBIA, he said, is fourth busiest in the state "running neck and neck with Orlando." Miami, Tampa, and Jacksonville have more traffic than PBIA, however. As long as the Air Force remains, general aircraft is not permitted at PBIA, he said. When free to do so, "we will go all out for this type of business," Sakser said. He revealed that "four or five" in coming to West Palm companies already are and that one "employs about 400." Sakser said commercial aviation, in the long run, probably is best in that it is "more perma-90 nent." He said the "number one project right now" is the decision on whether or not to move PBIA farther to the west, Another problem is the "inadequate" terminal building.

Sakser said the smaller airports of Daytona Beach and St. Petersburg have new terminals although Daytona's traffic is only about 70,000 passengers a year. All in all, however, Sakser painted a bright picture of the future of aviation in Palm Beach County and the nation in general. Following a question and answer period, SPOL took up the matter of a protest against the county's 100 per cent assessment the present millage rate. SPOL President Kenneth Helman entertained and received A resolution that the organization is "critical" of the action of our tax assessor and of the millage in county." It passed unanimously.

SPOL also voted to invite a member of the Taxpayers Assn. of Palm Beach County to speak to SPOL. Louis Moody, real estate man interested in the tax system, spoke briefly on ways he thought citizens should bring about a "better-balanced" system of property taxation, Lantana Blood Bank Drive Opens Today LANTANA The Kiwanis Club is sponsoring a Lantana Blood Bank to be used by Lantana residents in need of plasma. The club opens its drive today at the Southeast Florida Tuberculosis Sanitorium in the rehabilitation Center. Donors are asked to come to the center between 2 and 6 p.m.

Junior College Choir Sings For Kiwanians A 20-minute program of songs was given by Palm Beach Junior College at the regular meeting of the Kiwanis Club of West Palm Beach, Wednesday noon at Hotel George Washington. The choir sang five selections, which were introduced and directed by Miss Letha Madge Royce, music instructor at the college. Miss Royce said the 110-voice group had only been practicing for about seven weeks. Some of the selections used Wednesday are to be used in the college's Silver Anniversary Celebration Sunday afternoon. Dean Paul Glynn of the college staff talked briefly before the musical program, outlining some of the plans for the anniversary program.

The choir president, Addison Gilbert, also extended an invitation to Kiwanians to attend the Sunday afternoon program at the college. Prior to the college program, C. Paschal Reese spoke for five minutes in honor of Veterans Day on the importance of veterans organizations. Reese said that all through history, large groups of citizen veterans had proved to be the most dangerous force in many civilizaHe said this country was fortunate in having such strong veterans organizations as the American the Veterans of Foreign Wars, whose complete loyalty to this country and its form of government is unquestioned. General program chairman Dan Downey, was in charge of the program, and President George C.

Slaton presided at the meeting. Vice President Claude L. Moore introduced visiting Kiwanians and guests, and C. H. Warwick, 3rd, gave the goodwill and visiting report.

Special guests included Keyettes Marty Rich and Patty Penick. Frondizi Smashes Attempted Coup BUENOS A AIRES, (P Argentine President Arturo Frondizi last night smashed an attempted government house coup led by VicePresident 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 was reported to have threatened impeachment proceedings against Gomez in the senate unless Gomez resigns.

The Vice President refused to tell other government officers who his military backers were. He was forced to back down in the face of Frondizi's confident display of armed force at government house. As rumors raced over the capital of an upheaval high in the administration, the armed guards were reinforced. The crisis, coming after six months of Frondizi's tenure as president, was set off by a threatened strike of oil workers. The strike has right-and-left wing implications.

Frondizi said the strikers were Communist inspired. The powerful petroleum workers federation has had a long record of support for exiled ex-dictator Juan Peron. Board Seeking New Equipment LAKE WORTH Contingent contracts for purchase of $855,221 in equipment for a new steamgenerating power plant were awarded by the City Commission at a special meeting Wednesday night.

Stanley E. Hayward brought suit of himself and his son, Michael, two years and seven months old, who was allegedly hit by an auto driven by F. Helen Trivette in the driveway of his home in rural Lake Worth on March 8. The complaint claimed that young Michael was injured in the head, brain, body and internal or- gans, and arms and legs.

It asked $80,000 for the boy and $20,000 for his father. Atty. Gene Moore prepared the complaint, The other $100,000 suit was brought by Robert Clarence Van Dyne against Russell George Fronrath, after Van Dyne was allegedly struck by an auto driven by Fronrath about 75 feet north of the intersection of Dixie and 13th Ave. Lake Worth, on Oct. 19.

The suit filed by Atty. William K. Chester. Plumbing Code Approved For Riviera Beach The Riviera Beach Town Council last night new comprehensive code and raised the fine on parking meter violations at the beach to $1. The new code, approved on second reading, establishes plumbing commission, regulates the issuing of plumbing permits and outlines laws to follow in installing equipment.

It is patterned after the West Palm Beach code to insure uniformity. Councilman H. N. Wells opposed the increase in parking violations, declaring that only one per cent of the meters are used at the beach. He asserted it would "chase" people away and would not give "the business people over there a very good deal." Councilman Jack Flaherty, wha favored the increase along with the other councilmen, said.

the town had recently ordered 5,000 0 parking tags "for this "Show me one town on the east coast of Florida gives as much as Riviera Beach and I'll take off my hat," he added. The town recently spent $7,000 to build a parking lot in the beach business section. The new ordinance raises the fine from 25 cents to $1. The beach is the only area that has parking meters. In other action, the town anannounced it will send Atty.

Amadeo Meitin to Washington, D.C., on Dec. 3 to fight a proposal to deepen the Port of Palm Beach inlet and turning basin. The council is strongly opposed to the move, which was recommended by the Army Engineers. On a suggestion by Max Hammer, of Riviera Beach, it agreed to write a letter to state legislators opposing any reduction in appropriations for the State Development Commission, calling for an increase in funds. Hammer, who is president of the Palm Beach County Chapter, Florida Mobilehome said there is a move afoot to reduce commissions funds at the next State Legislature in 1959, (Continued from Page One) Forging Of $6,000 Hollywood and Ft.

Lauderdale during the past two weeks. He also told Baumhauer he began forging checks to obtain cash last June. He admitted obtaining $908 from a White Plains, N.Y. bank. He told of obtaining cash from banks in Nassua County, N.Y., which is located on Long Island.

After checking into a local hotel Tuesday night, Marin tried his three check deposit stunt in three local banks Wednesday morning. First he went to the Atlantic National Bank with checks totaling $890. When he attempted to cash the fourth check, in the amount of $280, the teller said she would first have to contact bookkeeping. Marin quickly made out another deposit slip for $280, telling the girl to include the fourth check on his account, since he was doubleparked, and in a hurry. This created suspicion, since no street parking is allowed in the immediate bank area.

Going to the Security Exchange Bank, Marin turned in a deposit slip containing three checks totaling $1,060. Again he produced a fourth check for $280, but when the teller asked for more information he told her to. forget it and left. At Florida National Ban k. where an alert to be on the lookout was received from Atlantic National Bank, Marin turned in a deposit slip, with three checks aggregating $890.

Again he produced a fourth check for $280, and when the teller called a bank official, he hurriedly left. A bank employe followed him outside where Marin broke into a run. He reached his car, parked on 2nd and headed west to Dixie Hwy. Going south, he turned west on 1st St. Meanwhile the bank employe ran into the police station, gave an alarm, and a pickup order to all points was broadcast.

Marin made a wrong turn on Rosemary Ave. and had to back up. His car struck the parked machine of Theodore Thompson, Negro, which was parked near the corner. This resulted in a traffic charge of hit and run being added to the pickup. Deputy Howard nabbed Marin near the Fifth Wheel service station on SR 7 and returned him to city police headquarters.

Marin told police he had a wife and child living on Long Island. He was a salesman prior to launching his bad check spree. Last night he made a long distance call to a Vermont city. Confronted at the police station, he paid his hotel and phone bill. In the trunk of the rented car detectives found several books of bank checks from various Florida cities.

Marin also carried a New York City detective's badge his belongings. His baggage included expensive clothing and detectives say he is one of the best-dressed defendants to appear on the local scene. After his arraignment on a traffic charge this morning he will be turned over to county authorities. $15,000 Sought In Assault Suit C. Allen Stevens was sued in circuit court Wednesday for 000 in a suit which claimed assault and battery of an 18-year old boy, Carl G.

Wichterman, Jr. The suit brought by Wichterman's father for himself and his son, claimed Stevens "without justification or provocation," seinjured, and bruised the boy. Damages of $10,000 are asked for the boy and $5,000 for his I father in the suit. Blank Speaks To Braille Club State Rep.

Southboro PTA Rejects Plank On U.N. Backing With approximately 100 persons in attendance, the Southboro Junior High School Parent-Teacher at a called meeting in the school cafetorium Wednesday night, turned down 10 of the 14 planks in Proposed Action Platform of the Florida Congress of Parents and Teachers, including the controversial Plank 4, which reads: "Conscientious support of the United Nations, believing it to be an outstanding instrument for world peace."

As the discussion of the various planks progressed, the membership agreed to eliminate Planks 4 and 6, and in the final secret balloting, the vote was 56-8 against Plank 4, and 49-17 against Plank 6. The latter plank reads: "Well-developed programs of cooperation among parents, school authorities, juvenile courts, and all other youth agencies in dealing with behavior problems." Many did not vote on these planks.

Another plank, No. 13, reading, "Continued support of the special aid for school building construetion," was beaten, 66 to 24.

The delegates chosen were Mrs. Frank Taylor, Mrs.

Alan Brackett and Russell Pritchard, a teacher. The PTA board, at a previous meeting, also had designated Principal Bruce Mitchell to be a delegate, but he declined, and the PTA membership decided that Pritchard should take his place. A fund of $75 for the delegates' expenses was approved. The PTA has 350 members, and could have sent 18 delegates. Mrs.

Frank Taylor declared she felt that next year, when the platform is undergoing preparation months before it is presented to the various PTAs, individual members should send in suggestions to be considered by the statewide platform committee. Tellers for the balloting were Raymond Tylander, Mrs. R. T. High, Mrs.

Robert Rickett, Bruce Mitchell and Mrs. C. M. Rhodes. Fire Extinguished A fire of undetermined origin burned a small amount of garbage at the rear of Sewell Hardware 2124 Broadway, Riviera Beach, Wednesday, but did no damage, Police Sgt.
