(UPI Radiophoto) PossibilHY Of Korean Coup Foreseen By U.S. WASHINGTON (UPI) The United States had foreseen the possibility of a military coup in Korea although not the timing had decided in advance on a policy of speaking softly and putting aside the big stick. A U.S.

general and an American diplomat were following this policy in a series of secret conferences with Korean leaders as the success of the coup hung in the balance. The policy, which until now has remained unclear because of total Washington silence, was that this country would not intervene with troops, nor use the bludgeon of threatening withdrawal of aid. It would try politically to restrain. port 'and cooperate with us asjto moderate and to coax events they did in the past." jinto constitutional channels.

The states would replace the present six provinces and would be combined under a fairly strong central government. Loopoldville would be the federal capital with status similar to that of Washington, D.

C. The plan, worked out during several weeks of consultations among leaders who support Kasa vubu, was aimed at ending the 10 months of political turmoil and factionalism that have gripped the Congo since it became independent from Belgium. Creation of the states must be ratified by Parliament or by popu- jlar referendum, and more than a 'third of the Congo still is controlled by men who oppose vubu. A two-thirds majority is required in Parliament. Antoine Gizenga, head of the Communist-b a Stanleyville regime which controls Oriental and Kivu provinces, regards himself as the rightful heir to the late ex-Premier Patrice Lumumba.

He boycotted the conference here. He also rejected Kasavubu's order for the reopening of Parliament in Leopoldville and demanded it meet in Kamina. Moise Tshombe, president of mineral-rich Katanga Province, has been jailed by the central goveroment and has not particl pated in the conference. have gone either way. Outside Seoul the bulk of army commanders still were neutral.

They would not join the rebels. Nor would they launch bloody civil war by attacking them. President Yun wanted to know which way the United States stood. Green and Magruder told him they were strongly opposed to settling Korea's problems by non- constitutional means, that this could set a pattern for coup after coup in the years ahead. The President said the regime of Premier John M.

Chang, one of his oldest political foes, was corrupt and needed throwing out, that the rebels had a good platform and that he might support them. President Backs Rebels He conceded it would be better to use means. When they left, the Americans thought they might have talked him out of backing the rebels, but Thursday he did. Magruder and Green also conferred during this period with the deposed Premier telephone. The premier went into hiding when the generals first struck.

The Americans did not know where he was, but they knew how to contact him. They tried to persuade Premier Chang to come out in the open, take a strong stand for lawful government and rally the uncommitted generals to his cause. Chang never did. When the coup first began the rebels, hoping to gain support, spread the word that the United States backed the revolt. This was one reason that Green and Magruder a few hours later made their now controversial statements that the United States supported the elected government and that Korean generals should reverse the coup.

These statements were not cleared at the lime with Washington. But they did follow the pol icy decision made in Washington earlier for such a situation. It is not true, as has been reported, that Washington was un happy with the Magruder-Green statements. Johnson, Nehru To Fight illiteracy. Hunger, Disease NEW DELHI, India (UPI) Vice President Lyndon B.

Johnson and Indian Prime Minister Jawa- harlal Nehru in a joint que agreed today to press the battle against hunger, illiteracy and disease. At the same time, Nehru pledged "continuing assistance' and support" in the effort to bring about a neutral and independent Laos. The communique said that "the common enemies of mankind on which a major attack must now be mounted arc ignorance, poverty and disease." "The conquest of these every where is the first step to the assurance of peace and freedom," the communique added. The announcement came after Johnson and Nehru wound up their talks with a discussion of the Laos crisis and the tense Southeast Asian situation in general. The two leaders conferred for an hour over breakfast and then left on separate tours into the provinces.

The breakfast session was the third round of talks since Johnson arrived from Thailand Thursday on his current swing through Asia and neighboring areas. Nehru began a tour of Assam Slate. Johnson, his wife. Lady Bird, and their traveling companions, Stephen and Jean Smith, went to Agra to visit village development programs and see the Taj Mahal. Smith is a State Department official and his wife is President Kennedy's sister.

SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE OAKLAND, Calif. (UPI)-One expert's opinion on youth was recalled by Dr. Edward L. Pratt the University of Texas at medical meeting. The expert's view: "Our youth now love luxury.

They have bad manners, con tempt for authority. They no longer rise when their elders enter the 'room. Tliey contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble their food and tyran nize their teachers." Pratt said that the situation' obviously needed to be remedied, but added that Socrates did not say what should be done when he wrote those lines in the 5tb Cen tury B.C. Jeff Chandler Fights For Life After Surgery CULVER CITY, Calif. (UPI)-! Rugged, gray-haired actor Jeffi Chandler, weakened by hours in the operating room, fought for! his life today at Culver City Hospital.

Chandler, 42, underwent emer gency abdominal surgery Thursday. A hospital spokesman said at noon that Chandler was "showing improvement" although he was expected to remain on the critical list for another 36 hours. Other sources said the movie he-man had received more than 50 pints of blood by transfusion, apparently because of an arterial hemorrhage that began Thursday morning. Summon Former Wife Chandler's condition was the third shock in recent months for Hollywood where beloved film stars Clark Gable and Gary Cooper have died. Gable, 60, died Nov.

16 of a heart attack and Cooper, 60, died last Saturday of cancer after a painful illness. Chandler was in the operating room from 10:30 a to 6 and hospital officials considered his condition so serious they sum moned his former wife, Mrs. Mar jorie Moshelle Chandler. His father, Phillip Grossell, also was there. "We should know in the next 48 hours," Mrs.

Chandler said. Chandler was admitted to hospital last Saturday for an op eration oii a ruptured spinal disc which he suffered last April 15 while working in "The Maraud ers" in Luzon.

He was a baseball fan and often sat in the Los Angeles Dodgers' press box with his San Francisco Giants cap on. Democrats Push Bill For Redistricting Overriding RepuUiean Protests On New Reapportionment By JAMES C.

ANDERSON United Press International SACRAMENTO Democrats today pushed for passage over vehement Republican series of bills revamping Call-' fornia's 80 Assembly districts and redrawing the boundaries of 38 new Congressional districts. The Democrats, controlling both houses of the legislature and with a friendly governor ready to sign the bills into law. unveiled the! new borders Thursday night then on their first try jammed the bills through the Assembly Elections Committee on a party- line voice vote. Their goal is lower house passage next Thursday. Republicans claimed the Democrats had engineered a power play, lowered an "iron curtain veil of secrecy" around the de-, tails of reapportionment and Democratic Gov.

Edmund G. Brown had gone "power mad." Democrats responded that they were only trying to even up the GOP reapportionment of 10 years ago. Brown told his news conference today that he did not know the details of the reapportionment, that it was "untrue that I engineered the bill at all" and that he intended to "disassociate myself from it at the present time." Brown said he wanted to leave himself "completely open" on whether he would sign the bill and probably would not express himself on it until it reaches his desk.

We have done the best we can and we have made many compromises." a four-hour hearing, th bills were recommended out "do' pass" on a series of voice votes. Democrats (predicted that by conservative standards the worst that will happen in 1962 that they will boost their majority in the House of Representativ from the present 16-14 to 24-14. "And with any luck at all we could go up to 27-11 in our Congressional delegation." said one Democratic leader who 1 draw Up the new lines. Boost Margin As for the Assembly the rock bottom guess by Democrats wasi that they would pick up three seats boosting their margin in the 1963 session to 50-30.

With luck they said, they might pick up or 12 seats and get a high water mark of 59-21. Gloomy Republicans did not de ny the conservative estimates ol the Democrats but said they hoped' that next year when Democratic Gov. Edmund G. Brown probably will run for re-election, there may be some surprises, especially if the GOP candidate is Richard Nbcon. Almost overlooked in the parti san hullabaloo over the reapportionment bills were the gains and losses in congressional and Assembly districts.

The Senate's 40 dis- (Continued on Page 4) America's Allies Approve Summit Meet LONDON (UPD-America's allies around the world expressed guarded approval today of the idea of a meeting between President Kennedy and Premier Nikita Khrushchev but warned against any expectation that it would produce notable results. Russia and its satellites were expected also to welcome the idea on the theory that the Communist world had nothing to lose and might perhaps gain something from such a meeting. U. S. allies in Europe were publicly optimistic aboiit the Kennedy-Khrushchev talks, but iBxpressed private concern over the possibility that they would be bypassed in "big two" dealings with world affairs.

French President Charles de Gaulle, who believes he is titled to a decisive share in shaping Western policy, was believed to be cool to the idea of the meeting. Observers in Paris believed, however, that De Gaulle might be pacified by the fact that Kennedy will see him before meeting Khrushchev. Allied officials in Geneva and at Atlantic Pact headquarters in Paris were apprehensive about' the possibility that a Kennedy- Khrushchev meeting would lead to similar individual approaches to the Kremlin by other Western leaders, giving the Russians a chance to undermine Western unity. Most sources said a Big Two meeting might smooth East-West relations, but warned that no concrete settlement of major issues was likely to result. Husband Arraigned For Torso Murder LOS ANGELES (UPD- The husband of a woman whose dismembered body was found scattered in three Southern California' counties was arraigned today on a murder charge and ordered to face a preliminary hearing May 24.

Shaw's step-daughter identified a picture of the head found in Garden Grove as her mother, Mrs. Hildreth Shaw, 51.

Nations Inquire On Peace Needs In Laos Cease Fire GENEVA (UPD-The 14-nation Laos conference sent an urgent! message to the International trol Commission today askingi whether it needs any more technical aid to watchdog the cease firej in the Southeast Asian kingdom The conference voted to sendl the message after Canadian External Affairs Minister Howard Green said the ICC in Laos was in urgent need of better transport and communication.

The message, submitted to the conference by cochairman Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, said: "Please inform us whether the commission has any technical quirements to facilitate the exer-, cise of its functions in relation to the cease fire." Secretary of State Dean Rusk said he hoped for a speedy reply from the of Canada, Poland and India. "It seems to us this message, though somewhat general, will cover the points raised by Cana-j da." Busk said. He repeated the U.S. view that the ICC should quickly investigate and report any cease fire violations to the Geneval meeting. The decision to send the message came in a special morning meeting.

The main conference appeared headed for a new East- West wrangle over whether Communist-supported a Lao rebels are violating the cease fire in Laos. Argument centered on whether the ICC could do its job with its present manpower and equipment. The United States and the Royal Laotian delegation charged that the pro-Communist rebels were breaking the truce. First Poppy Bought For Pres.

Reapportionment Means Some Congressional Democrat Gains By JERRY REYNOLDS United Press International SACRAMENTO (UPI) What will the reapportionment mean in the election? Assuming that the Democrats are successful in gaining final passage of their bills to revamp the state's 38 Congressional dis tricts and 80 Assembly and they have the votes to do this is the way one Democratic leader summed it up today: Congress: All Democratic incumbent congressmen should win re-election next year. The rock-bottom minimum should he a gain of 8 seals for the Democrats or a party split of 24-14. It could go as high as 27-11, he said, "with any luck at all."

McDonough, all Los Angeles All of them found their! districts carved into chunks spread among areas with more Democratic strength. In the eight new districts thej 'Democratic leader said he thought his party had a "good chance" of picking up the new 4th (Tehama- Glen-Colusa-Sutter Yuba Yolo- Solano) and the 9th (Alameda- Santa Clara). The Democratic source predicted the Republicans would up two new districts the 13th (Santa Barbara-Ventura part of Los Angeles) and probably the! 12th (Santa Cruz San Benito Monterey-San Louis Obispo). Likely Choice He said Assemblyman F. Hawkins, D-Los be a likely choice towm ttie 21st Congressional District and blyman Charles H.

Wilson, D-Los' Angeles, in the 31st. A "good' Democratic candidate, he said, should prevail in the new 25th District in Los Angeles. He rated the 20th and 24th Los Angeles as Republican, said the 27lh was "marginal, either way." He predicted the re-election of Alphonzo E. Bell Jr. (R-28th) and Democrat James Corman in the 22nd and said there was a "good chance" for Democrats to win in the 29th and a "possibility" of triumphing in the 3oth.

In Orange County the new district should give Assemblyman Richard T. Hanna, -FuUerton, an "excellent chance" to go to Congress if he runs. He described James B. Utt, R-Santa Ana, and Bob Wilson, San Diego, as cinches" but said the new Con gressional district in San Diego County might go either way. Assembly: Democratic Prediction The most conservative Demo cratic prediction was a gain of 3 seats after the 1962 election boosting the party's margin to SOSO.

More optimistic predictions by Democratic leaders were that the gain might be as much as 12. Republicans he placed on the vulnerable list as a result of reapportionment include: Joseph C. Shell, GOP leader in the Assembly and his Los Angel es colleagues, Frank Lanterman of La Canada, Howard J. Thelin of Glendale and Chet Wolfrum. All were thrown into the same dis trict.

Presumably some will move and seek office elsewhere, and Shell possibly may run for governor next year. John L.E. Collier and-or Montivel A. Burke in Los Angeles County.

Conference To Be Held In Vienna President To Visit With MaemiHan On His Way Home By MERRIMAN SMITH UPI White House Reporter WASfflNGTON (UPI) President Kennedy and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushhev will meet in Vienna June 3 and 4 for a general exchange of major U.S.-Russian differences, the White House announced today. The White House said the conference will provide timely and convenient opportunity for the first personal contact" between the President and premier. Following the Vienna meeting, Kennedy will travel to London for a brief session with British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan. It was emphasized that the Kennedy-Khrushchev conference will be confined to "the major issues which affect the relationships" between the United States and Russia. Will Not Negotiate The White House statement said the "big two" will not negotiate nor try to reach agreements on cold war problems involving other countries.

The President will have his first meeting with Khrushchev immediately after his previously announced talks with French Presi' dent Charles de Gaulle in Paris, May 31-June 2. Kennedy and Khrushchev will have their first get-t against a backdrop of crises that have developed since the President entered the White House. Serious developments pitting the Fres Worid against Communism flared in the Congo, Cuba, Laos and South Viet Nam. Nuclear test ban talks at Geneva have bogged down in a stalemate. Kennedy is reported intent on convincing the Soviet premier of the seriousness with which ha regards a genuine test ban agreement as the keystone of general disarmament.

The Kennedy-Khrushchev conference and the President's plans to meet with Macmillan were announced simultaneously in Washington, Moscow and London. It was announced in London that Kennedy will dine with Queen Elizabeth when he visits the British capital. Ken.iedy Took Initiative It was learned here that it was Kennedy who proposed and Khrushchev who agreed on Vienna as the site. The President also won agreement from the Soviet leader that the meeting should be an informal one with no effort to negotiate. Kennedy probably will be accompanied to Vienna by a small roup consisting of Secretary of State Dean Rusk.

Assistant Secretary of State for Europe Foy Kohler, his Soviet adviser, Charles E. Bohlen, White House aide McGeorge, Bundy and at most ons or two others. Officials reported that the United States won the consent of the major European allies before agreeing to the conference. They shun calling it a summit conference in the sense of involving elaborate negotiating sessions. The White House emphasized that the Kennedy-Khrushchev talks were not designed for the purpose "of negotiating or reaching agreement on the major international problems that involve the interest of many other countries." The meeting will, however, afford a timely and convenient opportunity for the first personal contact between them and a gen- ei-al exchange of views on the major issues which affect the relationships between the two countries," the White House said.

Thus the American government made plain that Kennedy does not regard this first meeting with the Soviet leader as a so-called summit conference. Kennedy will be accompanied to Paris, Vienna and London by his wife. The President will leave London late June 5 for the United States, but Mrs. Kennedy will remain there for a few more days with her sister and the latter's husband. Prince Radziwill.

The Kennedy-Khrushchev meeting has been under consideration for about nine weeks, and the chief executive decided to proceed with definite plans after sounding out other allied governments.
