He was managing editor of the Daily Worker and a member of the National Committee of the Communist Party before he quit the Reds. Budenz defined communism as a fanatical movement based on dialectical materialism. He said the Communist Party "line" (policy) is first published in official reports from Comma niit leaders and then given circulation in the U.S.

through the New Times and Political Affairs publications. He described the Daily Worker as a telegraph agency which gave instructions to party members. An example of the party "line" is the idea of "peaceful coexistence" stated first by Stalin in 1927 arid resurrected as slogan in 195L As the Communist define "peaceful coexistence" he noted, it means endless negotiations, recognition of Red China expansion of East-West trade and surrender of U.S. sovereignty on the installment plan. Another point stressed by the speaker was in relation to the Communist attitude toward reform.

The Reds use various reforms to lure people to their side, Budenz declared. He said when they talk about Negro rights, labor rights, what they really mean is slave labor camps and a labor passport system. Loiterer May Have Been Weighted Down HAMILTON, Ohio. arrested Tom Smith, 55, of nearby Oxford, Friday on a charge of loitering but when they got him to jail they wondered if he just hadn't been weighted down.

Byrd at South Pole i- -i JESSE JONES, former Commerce Secretary, who died Photo. Jesse Jones Dies; Once RFC Head HOUSTON H. Jones, 52, a Tennessee farm boy who built one of the nation's largest fortunes despite only a fifth grade education, is dead.

The wartime secretary of Commerce and head of the Reconstruction Finance died Friday night His financial abilities had impressed three presidents under whom he had served, Woodrow Wilson, Herbert Hoover and Franklin D. Roosevelt As head of the RFC 13 years, Jones loaned over 50 billion dol- ars. As the No. 1 citizen of he built the skyline of the! South's largest city, owning 351 buildings ranging up to 37 stories heighth. He was publisher of he Houston Chronicle and owned three of the city's largest hotels.

In Washington, Secretary of Commerce Weeks said Jones was an outstanding example of a business statesman. Sen. Lyndon Johnson (D-Tex) said Jones caught the early vision of Texas, and that "he was part of and of us." Former Texas Gov. W. P.

Hobby, chairman of the ward of the Houston Post, said Jones was "the No. 1 citizen of Houston and one of the greatest of Americans." Jones had extensive property joldings in New York City, Fort Worth, Dallas and Memphis, 'enn. His Houston Endowment has given millions to educational, medical and charitable institutions. He brought the 1928 National convention to Houston by signing a blank check after San Francisco had bid $200,000. Jones underwent an operation March 28 for a kidney blockage.

He re-entered the hospital May 9 nd had been critically ill about 0 days. MM4 William D. Rose has returned from the South Pole wherS "there isn't anything to see," but he is anxious to go back again. "It's hard to explain what grips a person in that land of nothing but miles and miles of ice and snow, but it has'its fascinations," the seaman, who arrived in Alton on leave Thursday, said. He and his wife are staying at the home of his sister and brotherly-law, Mr.

and Mrs. Andrew Barcelona, 2435 Sylvan lane. The 20-year-old Alton youth spent 72 days on the Ross Ice Shelf as part of Adm. Byrd "Operation Deep Freeze." "Our ship, the USS Wyandot, is scheduled to go back there in November and I'll be aboard," Rose said. He has been a spectator of one of the world's great wonders, the Antarctic.

"Where penguins, seals, killer whales and an occasional gull is all the life one sees besides the handful of invading human beings," he added, reflectively. 'Nature, however, is represented in other strange ways, he indicated. There is almost a constant 40- mile-an-hour wind, whining and icy sharp, followed by dead calms where the silence becomes a presence more noticeable than a dozen midwest tornadoes. The sun never sank below the horizon while Rose was there. Day could only be reckoned by the changing in shadows.

"It was hard to learn how to sleep in that eerie light," Rose said. "I finally mastered it but not until I had rolled and tossed in my bunk for several sleepless nights," The seaman spent the "summer" in the Antarctic. The coldest it got was 10 below. Another of nature's tricks is the "white out," a condition created by the glare of the sun on the ice. It can be compared to the desert mirage.

"When you are in one you may see two mountain ranges where you know there is only one. Distance fools you in odd ways," Rose said. He told the story of a passenger on a helicopter who was preparing to disembarg when he was stopped by the pilot. The 'copter was still 100 feet off the ground. The man had thought they had settled to the ice.

Ice and water are the greatest enemies, Rose said. "A fellow who bunked above Sewer Planned The widow, Mrs. Mary Gibbs ones, had left the hospital shortly jefore death, going to her hotel partment a bit earlier than usual Because of a throat infection.

'Owns 'Street, Will Deed It to City An informal hearing before the Board of Local Improvements in City Hall on a proposed sewer for Russell street was thrown into confusion today by a surprise annoucement of John H.

"One leg went Into the sea but I grabbed frantically and finally held on until I could be pulled up," he said. A man who falls overboard In the cold water has exactly eigh minutes of life. If he isn't fount and pulled out within that time he is dead.

Life aboard the cargo ship on which he was stationed was ful and there was no time for loiter ing. "We did ship's work and when that was done we had recrea tion," he said. This included movies, each which he saw four times, a ship's band and plenty of gooc food. "One of the most popular foot Items on board was ice Rose said, smiling.

And most of them are made from doorsteps to patient housewives who occasionally pay to get rid of them. The Greater Alton Association of Commerce, through its Better Business Bureau committee, is noting a decided -upturn in such offers this spring.

They come in the usual forms so far: The offer to make a house a demonstration center for a new type siding.

He had discovered this situa tion, he explained, after acquiring the former Dennis Noonan proper ty in 1940, and having a check made of the title records.

In the discussion that followed Hellrung displayed a plat showinj the 40-foot street he was ready to convey to the tity, and the six lots he proposed to lay out He agreed to offer his proposed plat to the City Council in time for action at its next meeting. City Engineer Fairfield explained that the plat would have to be referred to the City Plan Commission for its recommendation before the Council may act, and estimated it would take at least a month to get the transaction formally completed. Chairman Parker then adjourned the meeting to such time as the street situation can be straighten ed out. About 11 property owners were present, and, with exception of the owner of one lot, all indicated they favored a sewer, which as now proposed would be provided under the local improvement plan. Property owners it was explain ed would have to pay for the sewer but would have 10 years in which to complete payments.

The city, it was said, cannot assume a share in the cost as it has done on some paving jobs because 'motor fuels tax money cannot be used for sewer improvements. Alderman Parker conducted the meeting in absence of Mayor Struif. Paul Davey, attorney for the improvements body, briefly explained the local improvements law as it would apply to the project. And C. H.

Sheppard, engineer of the board, said a preliminary survey shows a suitable sewer can be provided, outletting into a sewer on W. 13th street. The project originates from a petition to the City Council from residents on Russell street, which is about 500 feet in length, Hellrung those at the meet' ing that Russell street lies in Tract 26 of the Gambrili subdivision, auctioned off under a court order and which a few years was acquired by Mr. Myers, who eventually became a partner in, the Liggett and Myers Tobacco I Co, In later years, it was long the home of former Alderman D. services, business About the coupon books, the Better Business Bureau points out: The salesmen are out-of- town promoters.

They probably do get agreements with the people listed on their coupons for But the cooperating people often find so many of the coupons coming in that they can't afford to carry out the agreement. They'd go bankrupt. How much money did the coupon salesman take out of town with him? No one ever finds put. The GAAC bureau's general rule of thumb is: 1. Don't buy "bargains" from out-ofttown door-to-door salesmen you don't knpw; 2.

Following heavy receipts Friday, when be kept his office open until 9 p.m., Elliott found his grand total had reached J2.085.000.

And with another large payment in hand before 9 a.m. today, the total was boosted to J2.123.000. This amount is $69,000 greater than the record collection of J2.054.000 which Elliott made for Alton Township a year ago. The tax collecting period here closed at noon today. And with his office crowded with taxpayers all forenoon, Elliott expected today's receipts would give his grand total another big boost Last year's collection," Elliott, "was about 80 per cent of the total charged on the Alton books, and I now have hopes that this year's collection will be almost or fully as complete as that of 1955." The total charged on the books this year is $2,724,233.

Although his collection period ended today, Elliott said that he would add in any checks mailed over the weekend and received hi the Monday mail. Later payments of real estate axes will go to the county treasurer at Edwardsville, But there will be a local follow-up drive for collection of any delinquent personal taxes. On taxes collected at Alton, city may retain 2 per cent as a collection fee, and the amount thus earned for the city 9 a.m. today was about 000. Out of this will be taken all costs of collection, but a substan- ial balance will remain to go in- the city's general fund to help meet operational expenses, said he collector.

The Rev. O.

L. Bond, chairman of-the group, told the Telegrap he hoped to secure at least 1,00 signatures of protest and that would probably deliver' the pe titions next Wednesday. He urged opponents of the toll plan, who have not signed the petitions, to do so immediately send postcards stating their sup port to Rev. O. L.

Bond at West Alton. "This is your opportunity to help make a toll-free bridge at Alton," he commented. Hie Alton bridge will becom toll-free on July 1 this year unles Missouri and St Charles Countj authorities extend the tolls pend ing study of improvements. Counsel for the St Charles Coim ty Court have already carried to the Missouri Highway Commission a request for extension of tolls on the bridge. The court's action was a request for extension or abrogation of the old contract between the court and the state highway commission which would have expired July 1 Aim behind the extension of the toll is to offer time for working out a plan to improve the preseni bridge or construct a new system of two bridges over the Missouri and Mississippi.

After nearly an hour given consideration of the matter, it was laid over for further study. Under a City Council resolution the commission had been askec to report on a location on the west erly side of Market, at Broadway as a stop for the Wood River bus es.

But the commission found ol jection-to this location from th standpoint of public safety. Also put before the commissio was a protest by Mrs. Nelli Angel to the Front street bu stops in which she presented ob jections of her tenants in busines property adjacent to the stoppki point After the Wood River bus term: nus was changed from the "oval 1 in Lincoln-Douglas square, it alsc was noted, a remonstrance signet by more than 100 persons was pre sented to the Council. And one of the objections in thi connection, it was pointed out, wa that some of the bus patrons fel the Wood River line had been forced off of E. Broadway and obliged to use an incoming rout over Front street, west of Ridge Chairman J.

L. Allen suggests that objectors apparently were un aware (1) that continued use of the city square oval as a bus terminus bad become impracticable be cause the Wood River line had put on longer buses that no long er could make the turn the oval was designed to accomodate; and (2) that the city hadn't caused the Wood River line to operate over front street instead of Broadway Brown Line Buses, with almost the same Front street terminus, it was pointed out, follow E. Broadway to Easton before turning south Front street, and the change in toe incoming route was of the bus line's own volition. Should the bus stop be moved from Front Lincoln-Douglas square, a change that might meel current objections and please bus mtrons, then the city would have sacrifice a large expanse of metered parking installations. And such a change, it was predicted, would bring out a rash of new ob- ections because would reduce the space in the square for the cars of store patrons, many of which are those of out-of-town shoppers.

Alderman Geltz, who attended the meeting, said that "a still bet er spot than Front street may be found" and he urged the commission to. hold any recom mendation in abeyance. New matters referred to the "ommission by City Council were 1) permission for parallel park- ng on Broadway, from State William, after 5 p.m. and on wlidays; (2) no parking on Math- street between State and Tib. itt.

Under the commission's rules, proposals were laid over fop to the next meeting, prior which members may view the tiws concerned, River Stages ge 6.0 Fall ,34 Pool 418.83 TiPwftejr Civil Rights Hearings Continuing WASHINGTON (fl The long long trail that lies ahead for civ rights measures was outlined to day with word from the Senat Judiciary Committee that some 75 opposition witnesses remain to beard.

Molotov Is Replaced By Shepilov By STANLEY JOHNSON MOSCOW IB-The Soviet Union bad a new foreign minister today with 50-year-old Dmitri T. Shep- ilov taking over from old Bolshevik Vyacheslav Molotov. The Soviet Union announced the sigh-level shake up Friday night on the eve of Yugoslav President Tito's arrival in this Communisl capital for a state visit. Shepilov has been editor-in-chiel of the Communist party newspaper Pravda since December, 1952 The timing of the switch caught Western diplomats by surprise and provoked immediate specula tion that Stalin's successors were tossing another olive branch a Tito. The Yugoslav president once was the target of denunciation by Molotov.

(A Belgrade dispatch said th move created a sensation in Yugo slavia. It was regarded there as a Kremlin double-play to pleas Tito and bounce the closest asso ciate of Stalin remaining in th Soviet Molotov's departure from foreign ministry post was an nounced in the form of a resig nation. The Supreme Soviet Pres idium gave a quick "yes." The announcement said simply without explanation: Text of Announcement "The Presidium of the Supreme Soviet has accepted the reques of the first deputy chairman of the council of ministers, Vyache- slav M. Molotov, that, he be re- ieved of his duties as foreign min ister. Dmitri T.

Shepilov has been appointed minister of foreign affairs." "They are getting rid of the oldsters one by one," middle- aged woman commented on Moscow's main street. "It has been expected for a long time," said Ambassador Erik Braadland of Norway. Communist party chief Nikita Khrushchev said the Soviet Union was "sincerely sorry" for the 548 expulsion of Yugoslavia from the cominform, the international organization of Communist nations recently dissolved. Molotov and Stalin signed the 1948 letter expelling Tito for fol- owing a policy independent of Moscow communism. Despite the timing of Molotov's departure from the foreign min- stry, there was no indication the old Bolshevik was in disgrace.

The announcement indicated Mol- tov retained his post as deputy chairman, equivalent to vice premier. And there were reports that might take over from Marshal KlemenU Y. Voroshilov as titular resident of the country, in the ost of chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet. RebelsBattle Division In Algeria By JOSEPH ALGIERS, Algeria UB Two French divisions backed by Jet divebombers battled furiously today to wipe out a big Algerian rebel force trapped in the "Gates of Iron" triangle of the desolate Biban Mountains. The French claimed the rebels already have lost 400 290 dead and 110 taken in lie biggest single encounter of the 18-month-old Algerian uprising.

Military dispatches disclosed that the 19th Infantry Division had jeen thrown in to support the crack 27th Mechanized Division and to contain rebel units desperately striving to break out of encirclement. Artillery and fighter bomber planes blasted away at the rebels clinging to sun-baked crags within the triangle in eastern Algeria. The area lies southwest of Bougie and along the Soumman Valley where French settlers repeatedly have been hit by strong rebel raids. The 7th Division launched its offensive Wednesday on the western edge of the triangle. French officers said the division was performing "superbly." Originally it was trained on the NATO defense line in Germany to operate in small detachments under conditions of atomic warfare.

The officers said this type of training has been found excellent for the fast moving hit-and-run engagements of the Algerian war. The rebel triangle is besieged on the east by the 19th Infantry Division. The French are making an all out effort to dislodge the rebels from the mountain pass. If they fake the area, they will command the southern rim of the disputed Soumman Valley on the outskirts of the rebel-held Grand Kayblie. In the Constantine area, French forces moved against a rebel group near Mila and reported they killed 30.

In Algiers, police raided the homes of known Communists and leaders of the National Algerian Movement. They reportedly picked up 30 Reds and MNA leaders. The Arabs staged a general strike Friday in native quarter of in protest against the French clampdown. In Paris, the Algerian situation held the stage in the French National Assembly's debate on Premier Guy Mollet's policies. A vote of confidence on the government's policies is slated for Tuesday.
