The Daily Missoulian Vol. LXXXIV. No. 134. Missoula, Montana, Tuesday Morning, September 11, 1956 Price: Five Cents Police, Fire Services To Be Continued In Disputed Section day the city will continue to furnish police, fire and other services to a disputed annexed area at least until a State Supreme Court hearing Sept.

19. The high court has issued a restraining order against the city forbidding further action in annexing the 70-block area containing an estimated 4,000 residents. The court ruling which opened for annexation of district, the area by the City Commission was appealed to the Supreme Court Friday, the same day the commission made the annexation. Mayor Hart said the commission was advised by counsel that the city "has an obligation to Mayor James A. Hart said tinue the services" because the commission acted in good faith in the annexation.

The mayor said the city will continue to serve the area at least until the hearing Sept. 19 and possibly after, depending on the action at the hearing. City Manager Walton R. L. Taylor said he had been told by the commission to order the fire and police departments to extend their services to the annexed area.

Firemen from Station 2 cruised, the the new previous area, city limits, mostly acquainting themselves with the streets and establishing fire routes.

Maier, a 38- year-old state senator appeared on the eve of Wisconsin primary election Monday night to be favored to win nomination as candidates for the U.

S. Senate. Wiley, has Davis, two of opponents, Waukesha Rep. and Howard H. Boyle 38, Milwaukee attorney, in the Republican primary while Maier has Elliott N.

Walstead, 50, like Maier a Milwaukee resident, as his opponent on the Democratic ballot. Wiley's strength is believed to be in the populous Milwaukee and Lake Shore areas while Davis claims he will carry the outstate communities. Wiley is favored because of his wide personal following although Davis has the support of the Wisconsin Republican organization. Boyle is comparatively unknown and not considered a serious threat. Maier has the support of labor, usually a major factor in a Democratic primary.

Walstead is a former state party chairman and has the backing of many influential Democrats, although the party does not endorse primary candidates. Both Wiley and Davis have claimed to be supporters of President Eisenhower in Congress. Davis has claimed that his record is better than that of Wiley in supporting the over-all policies of the Chief Executive. Wiley has argued that he supported Mr. Eisenhower on the major issues--such as foreign policy, and that when he has differed it has been in the interest of Wisconsin.

The primary will result in Republican and Democratic nominations not only for the U. S. Senate but for representatives, state and county offices and for the Legislature.

In his address Turley said that the fall-off in residential sales and construction probably is due to the tightness of mortgage money. He attributed tightness of mortgage money to government efforts to prevent run-away inflation.

In expressing opposition to publie housing, Turley said that arguments advanced by the Realtors Washington Committee in appearances before platform committees of both Republican and Democratic conventions undoubtedly had the effect of toning down public housing planks. Turley attacked public housing as being another form of "creeping socialism." He said that while in Europe recently England's Labor party set nationalization of all rental housing as one of its goals. said that probably twothirds of rental housing is owned by the government today.

British, French Map Next Move in Suez LONDON (AP) The Prime Ministers of Britain and France sought without success Monday night a new idea to cope with the intensifying Suez crisis. Britain had summarily rejected Egypt's newest counter move and plunged into urgent conference with France.

The conference of Prime Minister Eden, French Premier Sen. Gore (D-Tenn) served Senate Elections Subcomdollars-and-cents accounting between a now and Election as the Senate group he heads opened an investigation of financing and other political practices in the 1956 campaign. The long-discussed subcommittee inquiry started in an election year atmosphere of DemocraticRepublican bickering. National chairmen of the two parties were sharply divided as to whether television networks should give free time to both sides. Democratic Chairman Paul M.

Butler contended TV stations should do SO "as a public duty, in return for the public license they receive." Leonard W. Hall, GOP chairman, countered this would set off a chain reaction-that political groups then could demand free newspaper advertising space and even campaign trains. Behind the debate lay the financial positions of the two parties as the chairmen reported them: me The had Republican National Committee $664,625 in the bank the start of this month. The Democrats were between $13,000 and $14,000 in the red, though they had a current cash balance of $35,656. Unpaid bills accounted for the overall deficit.

The Senate inquiry is an outgrowth of the sensation which developed from an announcement by Sen. Case (R-SD) last February that he had been offered, and turned down, a $2,500 contribution from a lobbyist for the natural gas bill. Gore announced the subcommittee would seek "the fullest possible public disclosure" of how this year's presidential campaign (Continued on Page 5, Col. 6) Three Suspects In Robbery Back in Prison A planned service station robbery which ended in the beating and robbery of a Billings man here Sunday night apparently became a closed issue with the return of three prison escapees to the penitentiary at Deer Lodge Monday. Larry Beaver, operator of Bevo's Conoco Station at Spruce and Stevens streets, said he believes the three men were the ones who had been at the station earlier in the evening asking questions, including the closing time.

Beaver said he inadvertently told them the station closed at 10 p.m., the weekday time, instead of the 8 p.m. Sunday closing time. Beaver believes the men came back at 10 p.m., intending to hold up the place. "They would have gotten between $300 and $400," he said. Apparently when the three tried a side door they awakened John Vashal, sleeping in his car at the service station, after which they beat Vashal and took a suitcase, suit, box of personal belongings and a wallet.

Vashal was attacked shortly after 10 p.m. Deputy Game Warden James Ford, helping police hunt for the three after Vashal's plight became known, captured three escapees who were returned to Deer Lodge a few hours later. They were John Fiddler, sentenced from Missoula to 18 years for robbery, George Fink and Gordon Messer. Police said Vashal, 59, identified one of them from a police photograph. Vashal went to the police station shortly after the robbery and recovered his belongings except: for the wallet.

No charges were filed against the three. County Atty, Jay M. Kurtz said Vashal did not appear lat his office to sign a complaint.

Texas Mob Keeps Two Negroes Out kana Junior College Monday broke out again. Four Texas officers were present but as Texas' racial troubles Rangers and two local refused a plea to escort the pair into the school. The Texarkana crowd reached a peak of about 300 persons at 8 a.m. At 8:15 a.m., a Negro-operated taxicab pulled up at the school, and after some hesitation. Jessalyn Gray, 18, and Steve Poster, 17, got out.

The crowd immediately blocked their entrance to the college, opened to Negroes by federal court order for the first time this year. "Go home, niggers," someone in the crowd yelled. "Better take those niggers with you," someone else shouted to the Negro taxi driver as he moved the cab a short distance, Bob Mundella, managing editor of the Texarkana Gazette, asked, "are you going to try and go through that picket Miss Gray answered, "Well, want to. I understand somebody was supposed to be here to meet me." Miss Gray had passed an intelligence-aptitude test and enrolled at the school. Poster said he had taken the test and came the school to find out if he had passed.

The pair started moving toward the school and the crowd shifted to block their way. After walking about 50 feet, Miss Gray and Poster turned back. Several white youths fell in step with Poster and separated him from the girl. Poster stopped and was surrounded. One of the white youths threw gravel and another kicked at him but missed.

Poster glared at the demonstrators, then walked to join Miss Gray. "Let's go," the girl said. Poster shook his finger threateningly at the crowd as the taxicab rolled away. The pair returned in about minutes and asked rangers to escort them into the college. Ranger Sgt.

Jay Banks told them essentially what he had told reporters: "Our orders are maintain order and keep down violence. We are to take no part in the integration dispute and we are not going to escort anyone or our out of the college. U. Simpson Tate, Dallas attorney for the NAACP, labeled the demonstrators a "mob" and said reports to him showed one of the pair was "physically assaulted." He said he sent telegrams President Eisenhower and Gov. Allan Shivers of Texas, asking protection for the Negroes.

The typhoon, one of the worst of the current season, took 55 lives and caused millions of dollars in property losses in Japan, Okinawa, South Korea and the Philippines. The missing plane, a four-engine RB50, was assigned to measure wind velocity and air pressure inside typhoon Emma. It was last heard from 200 miles northwest of Niigata, roughly halfway between the coasts of Japan and Siberia.

Six officers and 10 airmen were aboard the plane, which was based on Yokota in southwest Honshu. Its job was to help find the course of the typhoon by entering its storm center and dropping automatic data collecting instruments. Only 50 of 310 Whites Attend School STURGIS, Ky. (A) Seven Negro students attended class at Sturgis High School Monday but only about 50 of the 310 white students enrolled showed up. Outside a crowd of townspeople estimated from 600 to 1,000 milled around and occasionally shouted, "Niggers come out." Forty armed state police and Kentucky National Guardsmen patrolled the area.

There was no violence. But the crowd cheered lustily when about 15 white students reported to school and, then seven departed. Negroes arrived an hour and a half before classes were to start. A crowd already was forming but there was no onstration. But, at nearby Clay, a crowd of about 100 men turned away a Negro mother, Mrs.

James Gordon, and her two children, James 10, and Teresa, 8, according to Maj. Gen, J. J. B. Williams, adjutant general of the Kentucky National Guard.

Rev. Frank Griffey who said he was acting as spokesman for Mrs. Gordon, told Associated Press Correspondent George Hackett the children would "not return until they have the same protection that the Negroes now have in Sturgis." Williams said he didn't know yet whether Guardsmen would be sent to Clay. Rev. Mr.

Griffey was interviewed at Mrs. Gordon's home, a few miles from Clay, where he conducted a prayer meeting after her children were denied admittance to the school. Mrs. Gordon sat silently by, nervously tapping her feet, during the questioning. Her children stood behind the screen door leading inside the trim frame house.

No pictures were permitted. Earlier, Hackett talked with some of the crowd gathered at the road leading up to the Clay school and was told "They'll never get niggers in there with our children."

UP Kenlargest school system was integrated peacefully Monday as some 47,000 white and Negro students attended elementary, junior and senior high school classes in Louisville. No pickets or crowds appeared at any of the city's schools although three women, two men and a 4-year-old child paraded with prosegregationist signs in front of the city and county boards of education building and the city hall.

Plans to picket Male High School were called off by Millard Grubbs, state chairman of the White Council. Law enforcement officers refused to guarantee the pickets would not be arrested for creating "a clear and present danger." The city has about 12,500 Negro I school children.

"No decisions have been French Ambassador Chauvel said as he left the meeting.

"Another meeting will take place at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday." The two government heads reviewed the crisis in the light of the failure 'of the Menzies mission to persuade Egypt's President Nasser to agree to international control of the canal he nationalized July 26. Nasser's move Sunday was a surprise call for talks by nations of all users of the canal in an effort to settle the dispute peacefully. The British immediately shrugged off Nasser's proposal. In the face of mounting home pressure and American suggestions, they appeared prepared to take the danger-laden dispute before the U.

7) Democrats Say GOP Uses 'False Front' ALBANY, N. Y. (P) President Eisenhower came under a doublebarrelled Democratic attack Monday night as "an aggressive fighter for special interests" in a govmasquerading under "a ernment, Adlai E. Stevenson, the Democratic presidential candidate and Sen. Estes Kefauver, his vice presidential running mate, teamed up to level their fire at the Republican President in addresses prepared for their party's state convention.

Meanwhile, Roger Stevens of New York, co-chairman of the Stevenson-Kefauver finance committee, told a regional Democratic conference, at Hartford, the party has set a fund-raising goal of seven million dollars. He said arrangements are under way for holding fund-raising dinners in 50 cities Oct. 20 to which Stevenson will talk via a closedcircuit TV setup from a city not yet decided upon. The dinner prices have not been set. Stevenson ticked off a number of Eisenhower appointments as evidence of what he called "ingenious and ruthless" infighting to undermine the progress of the Roosevelt and Truman administrations.

He charged that the agency heads are dedicated to weakening the very programs they administer. The candidates flew here from Hartford, for Stevenson's first meeting since the Democratic National Convention, with New York's Gov. Averell Harriman. Stevenson defeated Harriman for the nomination in a bitter party fight. The convention differences "did not scar our basic agreement about the things that count," Stevenson said.

The Eisenhower administration, Stevenson declared. "denied to our hearts what it promises to our "It is a government with a false front," he said, "and we have had enough of it. "Nor will it do to say that the President doesn't know about this, or was not told about that. A President knows what he wants to know about his administration." The "sum and substance" of Eisenhower's speech accepting renomination, Stevenson said, was that "he no longer objects to the New Deal." Kefauver's approach was even direct. more, the help of Democrats across the nation, the senator declared, "we shall explode the myth of a Republican President whose greatest asset is amiability."

(Continued on Page 3, Column 4) foreign affairs advisers at 10 Downing Street broke up Voters in Eight States Go To Polls Today By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Voters in eight states ballot Tuesday in primary elections certain to attract plenty national attention in this campaign season. Some top political figures are putting their careers on the line. This will be the last big turnout of voters before the Nov. 6 presidential election. And both parties are sure to see all sorts of significance in the results.

The week's round of voting actually began Monday, when Maine held the first general election of 1956 to name a governor, three House members and state officials. Wednesday Georgia holds a primary featuring the selection of a successor to retiring Sen. Walter George. Tuesday's primaries are in Minnesota, Utah, Colorado, Wisconsin, Vermont, Washington, Arizona and New Hampshire. In Wisconsin, Sen.

5) Homer Cummings Is Dead at 86 WASHINGTON (P Homer S. Cummings, U. S. attorney general during the administration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, died Monday.

He was 86. Cummings died of heart failure shortly before noon, the family physician announced. Cummings had lived quietly in recent years. He was born April 3, 1870 in Chicago, Ill. Cummings was a prominent figure in national affairs of the Democratic party from the days of the Bryan "free silver" movement to the latter part of Franklin Roosevelt's second term.

Maine Governor Winner of Second Term PORTLAND, Maine (P)-Maine, long a bulwark of Republicanism, re-elected a Democratic governor and turned over to Democrats in Monday's state election two of three House seats long occupied by Republican congressmen. Gov. Edmund S. Muskie, 42, won an almost -for a Democrat--second term by soundly trouncing GOP House Speaker Willis A. Trafton Jr.

The governor more than doubled his 1954 majority. James C. Oliver (D) unseated the veteran Rep. Robert Hale in the 1st District. And Frank M.

Coffin, Democratic state committee chairman, edged Republican State Sen. James L. Reid in the Democratic presidential nominee Adlai Stevenson in New York, hailed Muskie's victory as indicating that "the national trend to the Democrats is still gaining momentum." Oliver, a Republican congressman in 1937-43, and Coffin were the first Democrats Maine has sent to the House since 1934. Muskie is the first Democrat to win re-election as governor in a presidential year the Civil War, at least. The late Louis J.

Brann won a second term in 1934, but that was an "off year." In 615 of the state's 630 precincts, Muskie piled up 177,344 votes to Trafton's 122,494. The 299,838 total was far ahead of 1954, when Muskie won his first term by defeating Burton M. Cross. Republican incumbent, 135,673 to 113,298, for a total of 248,971. In 1952, Cross won a four -way race in which the total was 248,441, He polled 12,532 to 82,538 for Oliver, 35,732 for Republican-independent Neil S.

Bishop and 1,639 for Henry W. Boyker, an independent. With only three of the first dis. trict's 156 precincts unreported, Oliver defeated Hale, 59,072 to 57.187. Coffin had better than 6.000 votes on Reid in the Second District.

With only three of 210 precincts the Democrat's total was 53,795 and Reid's 47,256. Third Dist. Rep. Clifford G. McIntire, lone Republican survivor in the major races, won re-election to his third full term with a vote of 43,993 to Democrat Kenneth B.

Truck Careens Down Butte Hill Into Three Cars; Seven Injured BUTTE UP A 12-ton readymix cement truck ran amuck on a Butte street Monday, careening down a hill and smashing three cars stopped by a traffic light at an intersection.

21.) two of the cars and badly damaged the third. A fourth car parked on the street also suffered damage. Police said it was little short of a miracle that no one was killed or seriously hurt in the accident. Gene Losh, driver of the empty cement truck, told officers, they said, that air brakes on the truck failed as he was coming down the hill. He rode the big machine for a block when he attempted to head it toward a rock wall on the right side of the street.

He leaped from the machine. The officers said they learned that the truck apparently struck the curbing, then continued down the hill. The first car hit was a station wagon driven by James Cashin. The truck smashed by this car and then into a car driven by Sam Worcester. The heavy truck dashed Worcester's car aside and struck sideways into a car driven by William Mudro.

The truck stopped atop the rear end of Mudro's new car. Admitted to a hospital were Mrs. R. F. Trafford and Cashin.

Treated at a doctor's office were Mr. and Mrs. Mudro and year-old daughter, Audrey. Treated at a hospital and then sent home were Gene Losh and Worcester..
