Hopes for Italian-Slav Accord Winnie Seeks Talk Between WorldChiefs Non-Aggression Treaty Between East, West Also Called for MARGATE, England, Oct. 10 US) Prime Minister Churchill appealed urgently today for a "friendly, informal, personal" conference of world leaders and an east-west treaty to outlaw military attacks. The 78-year-old statesman told a Conservative party rally he 'has the sure hope an American-backed non-aggression pact would prevent Russia and the west "tearing and blasting each other to pieces in a third world war." Churchill said his "trusted allies" clearly meaning President Eisenhower and French Premier Joseph Laniel had not yet accepted his earlier pleas for face-to-face talks with Soviet Premier Georgi Malenkov. "Her majesty's government still believe that we should persevere in seeking such a meeting between the heads of governments," he said.

IXSKEEP Star Staff Correspondent PHOENIX, Oct. 10 The 21st Arizona Legislature will assemble here Tuesday in an atmosphere of dissension among the legislators themselves, created" by their disagreement over its necessity. Gov. Howard Pyle called the special session, which will be devoted to five items re- tration. That area is known as Zone A.

Zone adjoining Yugoslavia, has been occupied by the Yugoslavs. The Oct. 8 statement said the United States and Britain "trust" that the new action will provide a basis for effective cooperation between Italy and Yugoslavia, which have been contending over Trieste for years. In the light of that expression, officials here inclined to regard Tito's proposal that Italy take sovereignt' over Zone A and Yugoslavia establish sovereignty over Zone as a matter for decision by the Italian Tito's new proposal for a Trieste settlement to give Iftdy sovereignty over the port city and Yugoslavia sovereignty over the hinterland drew no immediate reaction here except for the suggestion that in the circumstances it looked like a matter for Yugoslavia and Italy to consider. Officially, the state department would say only that the U.

S. government stands on the statement issued Oct. 8. That statement announced that the United States and Britain had decided to withdraw their troops from the section of Trieste which they have been occupying since World War II and turn it over to Italian adminis Indians Press Reds To Start PW Talks MARGATE, England, Oct. 10 (JP) Prime Minister Churchill whose appreciation of good brandy is a British legend paused today during the delivery of his lengthy speech to Conservative party workers.

He reached for a glass of water on the rostrum and took a long drink. Then he looked up grinning: "I don't often do that," he cracked. The prime minister warned the hesitant French government to accept armed Germans into the European Defense Community (EDC) or face the possibility of a new arrangement linking West Germany directly with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Churchill startled the world last May 11, two months after Joseph Stalin's death, with call for informal talks between heads of state. The United States felt that Russia, before going into a top-level conference, should prove her peaceful intentions by deeds rather than words.

France also reacted cooly. Britain then accepted a counterproposal for a Big-Four foreign ministers conference with a limit ed agenda;" In an exchange of notes, east and west have not yet agreed on the topics. Lhurchlils speech today ap peared to be aimed at breaking the deadlock. Discussing his May 11 call for an informal top-level conference without agenda, he said: No WiW Hopes "I asked for very little. I held out no glittering or exciting hopes about Russia.

I thought that friendly, informal, personal talks between the leading figures in the countries mainly involved might do good and could not easily do much harm, and that one good thing might lead to an other. "I still think that the leading men of the various nations ought to be able to meet together without trying to cut attitudes before excitable publics or using regiments of experts to marshal all the difficulties and objections, and let us try to see whether there is not something better for us all than tearing and blasting each other to pieces, which we can certainly do." Churchill appeared tired and weak after his speech. He hurried back to his official residence, 10 Downing street, to spend the week end. garding taxation and property assessments, after he had weighed arguments both for and against it. In view of the divided opinions, legislative leaders will not hazard a guess as to how long the session will last, or how much can be accomplished toward carrying out the governor's program.

Bills on the five subjects were drawn following lengthy hearings by the house ways and means committee and senate finance and revenue committee. Copies, together with many pages of changes which later were made, have been mailed to members of the legislature. Plans for the opening will be perfected Monday during meetings of the rules committees of both houses and of the legislative council.

Kuykendall Scheduled To Be Arraigned Next Week on Death Count OMAHA, Oct. 10 (JP) Joseph Kuykendall, 34, charged with first-degree murder in the death of his heiress wife, will be arraigned here next Friday, County Attorney Eugene Fitzgerald said today. The county attorney said he would ask for a Nov.

Bernard Boyle, Kuykendall's attorney, said the defendant has been in Des Moines "working for a horseman there." Kuykendall, who is free on $25,000 bond, will be in court.

Howard Pyle removed Lon E. Walters Jr. as warden of the state prison today in a statement declaring the official had been guilty of "serious examples" of misconduct and maladministration. The decision climaxed an Investigation by state's attorneys which Pyle had ordered last July. Walters, first appointed by the late Gov.

Sidney P. Osborn in i946, was renamed as warden by former Gov. Dan E. Garvey in 1949 and, the next year by Pyle. The warden's salary is $4,800.

He was suspended Aug. 27 after a federal grand jury indicted him, among others, for alleged irregularities in the distribution of surplus property. Nine Charges The governor's statement removing him lists nine charges "sustained" during a recent five-day hearing requested by Walters. "It was an unpleasant duty to perform," Pyle declared after issuing his order, "because until about two years ago Lon Walters was making a good record for himself there. "I think it all adds up simply to a case of a very exacting job breaking a good man.

The governor said "a preponderance of the credible evidence" has proven: Absent Without Cause 1. Walters "has absented him self without cause from the prison for varying periods -of time, and thereby failed, neglected and re fused to properly administer and supervise the affairs of the prison." 2. Walters "has been in the habit of using intoxicating liquors and has on various occasions been Intoxicated." 3. In December, 1952, during a hunt for an escaped inmate, Walters was found to be drunk. 4.

On various occasions he has "allowed, permitted or condoned privileges to one of the inmates of the prison which other inmates were denied." Here, Pyle apparently referred to Charles Guzik, convicted sex criminal who was made head prison photographer by Walters. Misnse of Labor 5. Walters directed, allowed and permitted prison labor and material to be used on private property. 6. Walters used prison labor and materials to build horse trailers and used them himself.

7. Monthly reports which Walters submitted to the governor's office between June, 1931, and Julv, 1953, "wers inaccurate and false." 8. Walters "has neglected and refused to authorize the sale of hides of butchered cattle from time to time during the last two years, and has caused the same to become unsalable and of no value, or of depreciated value by retention thereof." 9. Walters, between September, 1952, and July, 1953, caused the prison to buy cattle at "highly exorbitant prices" and in other cattle dealings caused the state "other unnecessary and additional expense and financial loss." Appeal Probable Despite the governor's state- ment, attorneys for Walters were expected to press his care further, possibly in a petition to the state supreme court. Acting as warden Is Fred W.

Nirschel, special investigator for the attorney generals office. He is a former chief deputy sheriff of Pima county. This statement was issued by Pyle: "It was my clear duty to take this action "because serious examples of misconduct and mismanagement on Walters part and directly involving the prison have been brought to light. "To the people of Arizona who know. Lon E.

Walters and who have been concerned 03' his suspension and the subsequent proceedings, may I say this: "Lon was entitled to a public hearing, insisted on having full-scale hearing, and did have one. I believe it was fairly conducted, and I have been repeatedly assured by Mr. Walters counsel that it was so conducted. "If I was in any way prejudiced It was in Walters favor. I considered him to have been a friend, but I should not be -worthy of my office and my responsibilities to the people of Arizona If that friendship could deflect me from my clear obligation to the state of Arizona." 1 a spot near the neutral zone to prevent possible violence.

Egypt Now Feels AgreementJQpon Suez Impossible CAIRO, Egypt, Oct 10 (JP) Egypt's national guidance minister said tonight the government has found it impossible to reach an agreement with Britain on removal of British forces from the Suez canal zone.

The statement of Maj. Salah Salem dampened cautious optimism expressed recently over negotiations to restore the zone to Egypt. the minister said, "after a lapse of more than five months since the beginning of contacts on both sides, I consider the problems which now are facing us to be much more complicated than before." He said the Egyptian attitude had been expressed clearly and then added his statement that a solution now is impossible. The sticking point apparently still Is on rights of Britain and the western allies, including the United States to go to the defense of the Suez canal in the event of war. Egypt had agreed that the British could return but said that Egypt must decide when and under what circumstances of war.

Protests by Yugoslavia's Marshal Tito were regarded here as inevitable and so far not alarming. Tito's warning that he would regard Italian troop movements into the Trieste area as an aggressive act was considered an indication that he might eventually take his case to the United Nations if he thought it profitable to do so. Chinese Want Direct Parley With U.S.A. WASHINGTON, Oct. 10 (JP) Red China today sought direct talks with the United States on its demand, already rejected by the United Nations, to include neutral nations in a proposed Ko rean political conference.

But the Chinese Communist re quest, attached apparent condl tions which seemed unacceptable in the light of United States pol icy. The United States has ruled out a meeting with the Reds at which the composition of a political con ference could be discussed. How ever, the new Chinese proposal called for a meeting to rather than to discuss, this ques tion and hence seemed doomed to rebuff. What the Reds after Js a political conference on Korea which would have as participants such neutrals as India as well as the nations which fought on the two sides in the war. Their idea was that Russia would be consid ered a neutral.

Broad Agenda The Chinese Reds also are asking that a political conference dis- cuss not only a Korean settlement but other Far Eastern questions as well. Their note said the meeting should be held at the Korean truce city of Panmunjom and "not only should settle the ques tions of place of time of the political conference; but what is more essential, should settle the ques tion of composition of the political conference." The United States had previously proposed, and reiterated in a note last Thursday, that the Reds should meet with an American representative to consider the time and place of the proposed conference. This seemed to leave it to the Communists to bring up in the preliminary talks the issue of hav ing neutrals present at the conference. But that is far short of an agreement to "settle" the is sue there.

Tito would place the port city of Trieste under Italian rule while Yugloslavia took sovereignty over all the rest of the disputed free territory.

"Should the western allies gloss over this proposal, as they have those previonsly proposed," the independent Communist leader declared, there will be no peace in this part of the Balkans. Yugoslav troops, tanks and artillery were reported moving to reinforce the garrison in the Yugoslav-occupied Zone of Trieste as Tito spoke in a cold ram before a throng officially estimated at 120.000 in the Seib-ian textile city of Leskovac Force Threatened Amid cheers, Tito threatened to use his American-supplied armed forces to bar Italian troops from Trieste's Zone which includes the port and a rich hinterland. and said "Units of the rugo- slav army have already entered Zone B. The British-American plan for withdrawal of the 7,000 Allied occupation troops provides for the zone's administration to be turned over to Italy. The western aim is to complete the transfer next month.

Tito Is dead set against the whole thing. His offer to let Italy have the predominantly-Italian port city i modifies his earlier proposal that' it be internationalized and that Yugoslavia take over all the rest of the region. Italv contends all of Trieste is rightfullyhers. She has announced that, even with Zone she will press her claim to Zone B. Troop Movement Seen A responsible American ob server, newly returned to Bel grade from Trieste, said that during the trip he saw Yugoslav troop trains and tank and artillery detachments heading toward Zone the southerly part of tho- free territory.

Horse-drawn artillery and tanks of at least medium size were on the move at the Slovene village of Sezana, at the free territory's frontier, he said, and he saw two trainloads of troops headed toward Zone from Ljubljana, 50 miles northeast of Trieste. Rain fell heavily during Tito's speech at Leskovac. "We have decided to protect our rights in the spirit of the United Nations charter, which also includes the right to use armed forces," he said. Our patience is at an end." Plan Scored Angrily, he denounced the two- day-old decision of the United States and Britain to pull their 7,000 occupation troops out of Zone A and turn over the administration to the Italians, who lost all the 320-square mile territory under the Italian peace treaty of 1947.

10. (JP) The air force wants to reach a 137-wing strength by 1956, weighted with long-range planes capa- Ible of carrying atomicAombs. In disclosing this second phase target of air power expansion, proponents explained today that the original and ultimate goal of 143 wings still stands. A wing varies in strength from 30 bombers to 75 fighters. The 137-wing midway level, which has not been submitted for approvai to the defense department up to now, would be a 10-wing increase over the goal reportedly recommended by the joint chiefs of staff for the year ending in June, 1955.

It would be 17 units more than the 120-wing goal which Secretary of Defense Wilson says "may be" attained by next June 30. The original 143-wlng pian provided for 17 units of non-combat aircraft (transport and utility planes), but this would be reduced proportionately in the 137-wing level, The resulting increase in the number of combat units would in turn provide increased numbers of strategic bombers. The air force believes that something over seven wings of heavy bombers now can be provided as a result of increased production facilities for the new B-52 long-range, high-speed jet bomber. That long-range bomber force will include both the new B-52 Boeings and the B-36 Con- vair piston-jet engine planes of which several hundred nave been produced. Underlying the even greater emphasis on heavy bombers in the projected interim phase of air power expansion is the argument of strategic air force exponents that the best preventive or defense against a Russian H-bomb or A-bomb attack is a strong re taliatory striking force.

parents. He grew up in Dedham, and entered the U.S. Military academy at West Point in 1933. He received his commission in 1937. During the latter part of World War II, he served as commander of the 97th Bombardment group in the Foggia (Italy) area.

Following the war he was a member of the defense department general staff in Washington. He later returned to West Point, where he taught mathematics. His most recent overseas assignment was in the Far East, where he was wing commander of the Third Bombardment wing. He was stationed in the Far East theater from 1950 to 1952, when he became General Hardy's deputy commander of the 43rd wing. When General Fisher was transferred.

General Hardy became 36th Air Division commander and General Ohman was raised to commander of the 43rd wing. The new general and his wife, Eleanor, are parents of three children. Nils 12; Christopher, and Susan, 4, PANMUNJOM, Sunday, Oct. 11 (JP) The neutral Indian command pressed the Communists today for a quick decision on starting possibly explosive "explanations" tomorrow to 22,500 balky Chinese and North Korean prisoners of war who have renounced Communism and refused to return home. American tanks and troops near Panmunjom were in readiness at guard positions.

South Korean officials have threatened to release the prisoners by force if they are questioned against their will. It was reported that the Sth army also ordered the evacuation of South Korean marines from Wetback Jam Explosive for Border Town OJINAGA, Mexico, Oct. 10. JP) More than 1,000 Mexican wetbacks transported from the El Paso valley have created a time bomb atmosphere in this small border city which could explode at any time. The U.S.

immigration service, for the past week, has been transporting busioad on busload of the wetbacks Mexican' farm workers illegally in the United States from El Paso to Ojinaga across from Presidio, Tex. Mexican and U.S. officials estimate there are more than 300 hungry "displaced persons" here noY with more pouring in each day. About. 1,000 already have been moved to Chihuahua City.

Sheriff Buck Valentine of Presidio said he is expecting Irouble and the situation is tense "because you can't control hungry men." Tense Situation The wetbacks, most from the Juarez valley across from El Paso, are confused, hungry and desperate. Officials say the situation is rapidly getting out of hand. Ojinaga more than 200 miles from El Paso has been raising money to feed the wetbacks. Flat bottom trucks were brought in to transport the wetbacks to Chihua hua City across the vast desert about 400 miles. There are no paved roads.

Friday a train was brought in to move the wetbacks after the city ran out of money. Mayor Enrique Uranga of Ojinaga said feeling in Ojinaga is running iilgh against Amer icans. Enforcement M. R. Toole, acting district director for immigration and nationalization in El Paso, said he had received direct orders from Washington to enforce immigration laws on the border to the "fullest extent." He said the transport of wet backs to Presidio would continue as long as necessary.

The forced exodus began when the El Paso Valley Cotton asso ciation refused to contract with the Mexican government for legitimate braceros because of continuing and oppressive de mands." The result was an overwhelm ing movement of wetbacks into the valley. The immigration service, upon receiving orders, "picked up hun dreds of the Mexicans and trans ported them in buses borrowed from the army to Ojinaga "where they can't return the next day." The El Paso Valley Cotton association said among the demands made by the Mexican government were those asking higher wages, forced insurance from a specific company and voiding of contract if a wetback is employed by any member of the association. Cats Whitewash Mex Lobos 20-0 By ABE CHANIX Star Sports Editor Arizona found its passing game in the good right arm of handsome Barry Bleakley and struck for three touchdowns in the second half to defeat the University of New Mexico, 20 to 0, here last night. After a scoreless first half that saw more errors than Gen Ohman Replaces Gen, Hardy at D-M Mexican Official Discounts Wetback Trouble in Ojinaga an Arizona-Texas league baseball game, the Wildcats began to move Bleakley's passing and the running of jackrabbit Kenny Cardella. With three minutes and 49 seconds of the third period gone, Bleakley pitched to Rollie Kuhel on the five-yard line and the Wildcat right end scampered over for the first touchdown.

Less than 10 minutes later scampering Kenny drove 12 yards off tackle ror the second Arizona touchdown. Long Pass Pays Off And then with 3:40 left to play Bleakley again teamed up with Kuhel on a 42-yard scoring pass play. Arizona hadn't scored on a pass in three previous games this season. But as the Wildcats struck twice via the air last night to even their season's rec ord at 2-2, the long expected aerial team of Bleakley to Kuhel became a reality. Bleakly completed six of eight passes, and in all Arizona gained 135 yards passing as compared to a pre vious 3 game total of 75.

And Cardella came within 27 3rards of reaching the halfway mark in his race to become the Davis-Monthan has a new gen eral as of yesterday morning when Gen. Walter C. Sweeney, commander of the loth Air Force, pinned stars on Brig. Gen. Nils O.

(Swede) Ohman, commander of the 43rd Bombardment wing. The ceremony was performed in the offices of Brig. Gen. John S. Hardy, 36th Air Division commander, following confirmation of the promotion orders from Washington.

Simultaneously, it was announced that General Ohman will replace General Hardy as commander of the 36th Air Division around Nov. 1. General Hardy will be transferred to Washington, where he will become director of the military personnel policy division in the Pentagon offices of the secretary of defense. General Hardy has had command of the 36th since September, 1952. He replaced Brig.

Rocha was in the area studying current international labor problems which have come to a head during the last two weeks when the immigration service cracked down on illegally entered workers in the valley.
