Witnesses Probe on Called As New Adams Opens Thye Asks Probe Of Ore Imports I sharply in recent years. Processing of lower grade ore on the Minnesota Iron Range has been increasing. Thy said iron ore has been on the free import list since 1913. He said, however, the House in approving extension of the reciprocal trade program amended it to permit the president to levy a tariff on commodities which had been on the free list. He said he will support this in the Senate.

"I am vitally interested in formulating policy which will maintain our iron ore mining industry, for the continued economic growth of Minnesota, the stability of employment and the industrial independence of the United States." 1 'AUMak mTI IP' successfully to the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals for a $25,000 refund, but in 1957 we-ceeded in having the case reopened and the penalty cut by $41,284. Roswell M. Austin, a former member of the appeals board, told reporters an inquiry in behalf of Raylaine was made by Adams, and asserted: "It was my thought that the inquiry was improper." He said, however, that Adams' inquiry did not influence the board's decision, which he implied was in accord with the facts. Austin retired from the board in September 1957, a few months before the decision was rendered in favor of Raylaine. Austin said an inquiry about Raylaine also came from a member of Congress whom he did not identify.

Later, Rep. Chester E. Merrow (R-NH) told a reporter he presumed he was the congressman to whom Austin referred. Merrow said he had some correspondence with federal agencies asking about the status of the case, and later urging that the board's refund award be expedited. He said he regarded it as a routine matter of the type that crosses the desk of every member of Congress.

The company was situated in Merrow's congressional district. SHADOWY FISHERMEN The setting sun casts shadows on men in Ceylon who fish in Indian Ocean from poles planted in surf at low tide a practice of many years. Ceylonese call them "Stilt Fishermen." Their catch jenerally is small fish, hardly larger than a sardine. MacKinnon Raps Freeman On TV Political Plugs ward Hebert said several days of closed-door testimony will be taken before any public hearings are called. The group spent Monday studying the background without calling witnesses.

The new investigation follows lengthy hearings by another sub committee of Adams' relations with Bernard Goldfine, a Boston textile manufacturer and real estate owner who denied Adams pulled strings in his behalf. Gold-fine is not involved in 'the current inquiry. Fresh support for Adams came from 1 Secretary of Commerce Weeks, who described him as a "loyal devoted dedicated honest" public servant. Weeks made public in a statement comments he had planned as a speech. Weeks said Adams has been "whiplashed more brutally than any individual in public life in our generation," and has been "cruelly smeared by vindictive hate-mongers." "When the whole truth on him is known by the public," Weeks added, "I believe my own high opinion of his rugged New England character and service to the nation also will be the verdict of the fair minded American people, and those who have teen persecuting him will be ashamed." The Raylaine company was penalized $49,784 for late delivery of uniform fabric shortly after Pearl Harbor in 1941.

The White House says Adams, President Eisenhower's top aide, did no more than relay queries and information on the matter in a routine fashion. Former officials of the now defunct company, Ray-laine Worsteds, have denied any White House pressure was Involved. Subcommittee Chairman F. Ed- Movie Theater Scene of Race Demonstration WETUMPKA, Ala.

(AP)-Cars blocked the gates of a drive-in theater which advertised it dared to display a movie Sunday night showing a romance between a Negro man and a white woman. A Montgomery Advertiser reporter said some 75 cars arrived at the Dixie drive-in at 8 p.m., shortly after it started showing the movie "Island in the Sun." An estimated 200 persons milled about the gate, but many of them were spectators. A man holding a shotgun sat in one of the cars blocking the gate while other men stopped prospective patrons. One of those halting persons approaching the theater near here said he was from a White Citizens Council. Shortly after the demonstrators arrived, the power line to the drive-in was cut, and the picture was not completed.

The men then started allowing the 15 to 25 cars of patrons to leave. In the darkness the demonstrators tried to drive cars into the theater from fields along the side. Employes firing shotguns into the air turned back the cars. Theater owner Max Singleton and his wife drove out of the drive-in through a field, and were chased by three other cars. They went to a nearby house and telephoned officers.

The theater has no phone. Singleton was quoted as saying, "We will not attempt to show the show again for our own protection." The theater had advertised: "This is the one that is banned all over the South. While we dare to show it, we do not endorse it. Make up your mind about seeing it." Sheriff Lester Holley said deputies who reached the scene about 9:30 p.m. reported there were no crowds outside the He said he had advised Singleton earlier against showing the film.

The television show is originat ing here part of this week as a feature of both the Minnesota Centennial and Minneapolis Aquaten-nial. MacKinnon said that Freeman had used the national network time to say that he and the rest of the DFL state slate was filing for return to office Monday, that Hubert Humphrey would make a strong candidate for president, and to launch an attack on the GOP farm program, MacKinnon said he also had learned that the "Today" show was being supported here by 500 of taxpayers' money, presum ably from the funds of the Centennial Commission. "I am shocked," MacKinnon said in a statement, "that our governor had the bad taste to use the Centennial and Aquatennial, and the taxpayers' money, for political purposes. "This involves the matter of eth ics and the governor should look to some of his past utterances in this regard before he repeats such a shabby performance." MacKinnon said many persons had suggested he ask for equal time on the network but he said he had decided not to inject fur ther politics into the two festival observances.

Odium said that with the polio foundation "entering a number of broad fields of medicine, our leadership feared that most of the funds to be raised would be devoted to fields other than ar thritis." "I confidently expect," he said "that within another 10 years our research people will track down the cause of this disease and come up with a final cure." He said one policy difference that blocked the merger was the fact that the arthritis foundation gives scientists not laymen the main voice on its governing boards.

James Stack, 15, St. Paul, drowned in Turtle Lake near St. Paul where he had gone to swim. The youth kicked free of the grasp of Vern Draeger, 26, St.

Paul, the victim's brother-in-law who went to Stack's aid when he called for help. Stack's body was recovered quickly but he could not be revived. Kenneth Zimmerman 11, of Thomson Township near Duluth, drowned in the St. Louis River near the mouth of Otter Creek. He had gone into the stream to cool off after picking berries and apparently hit a deep hole.

He could not swim well. Melvin and David Jokela, Atkinson, his companions, called for help and the body was soon recovered. But efforts to revive the youth failed. Charles Overson, 7-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs.

QM1 Overson, Oslo, drowned in a gravel quarry while on a frog-hunting expedi -tion. The victim and a brother, Dale, 14, had gone to a gravel pit across the Red River in North Dakota on their hunt. Dale turned his back for a moment and then saw Charles had disappeared. He dived for the body and hailed a passing motorist who drove the boys 18 miles to a Grand Forks hospital. But Charles was dead on arrival there.

The Big Three draft reply to Khrushchev's summit proposal re jects Soviet charges of U. ish aggression in the Middle Past.

It says the U. N. charter makes the Security Council, not a sum mit conference, the 'international body to maintain peace and security. Khrushchev should direct his ef forts to the Council and let it know if he feels it is missing any bets, the proposed reply says. Wash ington officials said this could open the way for Khrushchev to show up at U.

N. headquarters, forcing President Eisenhower to consider going also. More this circuit after 6aed. 3 Contlnuid from Ftet WASHINGTON (API Sen. Edward J.

Thye (R-Minn) said today he is hopeful Congress will act on his resolution to require the U.S. tariff commission to make an investigation of iron ore imports. Thye, in a letter to chairman Harry F. Byrd of the Senate Finance Committee asking for action on the resolution, said there has been a vast increase in iron ore imports during the past 12 years. Minnesota for decades has supplied the vast majority of iron ore used in this country.

Twelve years ago, Thye said, iron ore imports totaled only 1.3 per cent of United States production but rose to 33 per cent in 1957. "During the same period," Thye told Byrd, "domestic production has increased to a peak in 1953 and has been reduced thereafter, creating very serious unemployment problems on the iron range in Minnesota." Thye said all factors which have caused the rise in importation of foreign ores should be examined. Reserves of high grade iron ore in Minnesota have been cut into 1 tCootinute' Iron Tf II the State Department in a public statement prodded Khrushchev for a reply to a letter from President Eisenhower July 1 urging him to accept procedures for working out a summit meeting agenda. Khrushchev's note Saturday was sent to President Eisenhower, Prime Minister Macmillan of Great Britain, Premier de Gaulle of France, Prime Minister Nehru of India and U. N.

Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold. It proposes a five-power summit meeting. Nehru and Hammerskjold have already replied that they would be willing to attend any conference on which the major powers agreed. The proposed United States reply put forth in the Allied consultations makes two major points, apart from rejecting flatly Khrushchev's charge of aggression. These points are: 1.

The United Nations Security Council, under Article 24 of the U. N. Charter, is the international body charged with maintaining peace and security in the world and it has the responsibility of determining a threat to world peace. It is to the Security Council, not to a summit conference, that Khrushchev should direct his efforts to deal with the present Middle East situation. If he feels that the Council has overlooked issues which should be considered, the Soviet government like any other Security Council member, has the right to get the Council to enlarge its work.

(This was regarded by officials as opening the way for a high-level meeting of the Security Council if Khrushchev is interested in following up this point. He could go personally to New York or send Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, President Eisenhower has no plan himsels to go to the U. N. but would undoubtedly havei to look at the situation anew should Khrushchev decide to attend. 2.

The United States along with Britain and France is willing immediately to resume diplomatic negotiations with the Soviet government in Moscow on preparation of an agenda for a summit conference which would discuss not only the Middle East hut other world issues.

Stanley LaCount, 38, was ac cused of first degree murder in the Friday night slaying of his estranged wife. The slain woman, Barbara Jean, 24, was felled by six bullets at the Persian Palms bar, where she was a dancer. LaCount threw his pistol to the floor of the crowded tavern and gave up to police without resistance. Mrs. LaCount reportedly had been about to divorce the suspect.

The couple had been married two years. A second indictment charging first degree manslaughter was returned against Ronald W.
