Eichmann Case Taken Before UN UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (UPD Argentina today formally accused Israel of violating its national sovereignty in the capture of former Nazi SS Colonel Adolf Eichmann and asked the UN Security Council to order "just redress." Argentine ambassador Mario Amadeo in a note to council president Tingfu S. Tsiang of Nationalist China requested an "urgent" meeting of the council.

But informed sources said it probably would not meet until next Tuesday. This would permit time for further attempts at negotia tion between Israel and Argentina. Talks between Amadeo and Israeli Foreign Min ister Golda Meir broke down Tuesday. PARIS MEETING There was also the possibil ity of a meeting in Paris be tween travelling Argentine President Arturo Frondizi and Israeli Premier David Ben Gurion. After seeing Tsiang, who will consult other council members on the date for the meeting, Amadeo called upon Secretary-General Dag Ham- marskjold and informed him of Argentina's action.

Eichmann, who is accused of ordering the death of six million Jews during the Second World War, was taken by Israeli agents from Argentina to Israel early, this month. Argentina protested to Israel, but the Tel Aviv government refused to return him.

The mot) staged tne newest of a series of anti-government riots that rocked Tokyo almost on the eve of President Eisenhower's scheduled visit Sunday. Two were known dead, hundreds were injured and scores were arrested in the worst riots to date.

Premier Nobusuke Kishi called his cabinet into emergency meeting which started just after midnight. He also summoned the chief of Japan's self defence forces, indicating the military might be called in to help preserve order. CARS SET AFIRE The rioting started Wednesday night when successive mobs of up to 12,000, including tied police and set fire to vehicles in the streets. American security officials were worried whether Tokyo police could preserve order and safeguard the President while he is here. Kishi's pro-Western govern ment faced Japan's deepest post-war crisis in the series of demonstrations which have been raging against his regime in protest to the U.S.-Japan security treaty and Eisen hower's visit.

BLOODY ASSAULTS A crowd estimated at 12,000 leftist students and other left-wingers staged bloody as saults against an estimated 5,000 police in the diet area Wednesday night Police beat off the attackers only after they had wrecked one building and burned three trucks. Rain that fell before mid night put out the fires, dampened the ardor of the rioters and thinned their ranks. But the hard core remained and new trouble broke out in this morning's early darkness. Police fired tear gas into the outraged mob after the rioters set fire to 13 captured police armored cars and turned the streets outside the parlia ment compound into a sea of flaming gasoline. The outnumbe red police were estimated to total about 1,000 against the 4,000 fanatic leftists.

When the police fired the tear gas the mob screamed, yelled and bolted. Its members regrouped a short dist ance away, near the American armed forces "chapel centre.1 Ike to Ride With Emperor TOKYO (UPD President Eisenhower, upon his arrival Sunday, will drive through Tokyo in a limousine shared with Emperor Hirohito, the Imperial Palace announced today. A spokesman said the American president would proceed directly to the palace for a formal audience with the Emperor rather than stopping off at the "geihinken" or imperial guest house as protocol normally requires. ana searcmng consmerauoii disarmament proposals. He made the statement in the Commons amid reports from Geneva that the United States was on the verge of rejecting the plan outlined recently by Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev.

(See page 3) Green said Canada considered the latest Khrushchev proposal a definite step forward. E. L. M. Burns, this country's delegate at the 10-nation Geneva conference, had been instructed to oppose any "hasty or ill-considered" Western reaction to it, he said.

PACKAGE PLAN Burns would put forward Ca nadian proposals shortly for a "Dackaffe aooroach" to the Geneva negotiations, Green said. Their aim" would be to provide means for a stage-by-stage advance toward general dis armament through mutual con cessions by both sides on points considered important by each of them, he said. "The time has come lor a process of negotiations of balanced concession," he added, Green's statement brought sharp criticism from Liberal spokesman Paul Martin. He charged that the government had yet to show any in dication of the independent approach Green claimed would be this country's policy. Even the minister's optimism over possible progress at Geneva had not been realized, he said.

"I would point out that sin cerity and optimism are no substitute for effective contribution," Martin said. He dismissed the latest Khrushchev proposals as of fering "nothing fundamentally new." CCF spokesman H. W. Her- ridge lined up solidly behind Green. He accused Martin of a "half-hearted and negative" approach.

The Soviet proposals represented some concessions and possibly a "certain change of view" by the Communist camp, Herridge said. The West should give them every consideration rather than "in dulging in sabre-rattling," he said. SINGLED OUT Green singled out refer ences in the latest Soviet proposal to control over rockets and military activity in outer space to establishment of peace-keeping machinery as of "special significance." The Russian offer for a detailed study of disarmament means and effects before any agreement was also important, he said. He said no member of the 10-nation committee should miss any opportunity lor progress. to Our tors and congressmen in the traditional open-neck "barong tagalog" shirts that Filipino men wear outside their trousers even on formal occasions.

Eisenhower wore a brown business suit complete with vest as he had Tuesday despite the 85-degree heat "Communist leaders lear constructive nationalism as a mortal foe," he said. "This fear is evident in the continuing efforts of the Communist conspiracy to penetrate nationalist movements, to prevent them, and to pirate them for their own evil objectives. "They use force and threats cf force, subversion and bri bery, propaganda and spuri ous promises. They deny the dignity cf men, and have subjected many millions to the Full Year's Works Aid Asked Island Municipal Officials Meet By HN MIKA Times Staff Reporter COURTENAY Vancouver Island municipal leaders today were expected to ask expansion of the federal government's winter works program into a year-round re lief operation. Aid.

Geoffrey Edgelow of Victoria made the suggestion at this morning's session of the association of Vancouver Island Municipalities' annual convention in Courtenay. Subject arose during prolonged discussion favoring a Nanaimo resolution urging inclusion of cemetery improvements in the winter works program because it would pro vide many laboring jobs. Aid. Edgelow, proposing an amendment, said: "There are so many people being thrown out of work in May when the winter works project ends that the time limit should be taken off to make it a year-round program." NOT SEASONAL "These programs peally are much the same as the pre-war relief, programs and they should be expanded to do the same in providing jobs in spring, summer, and fall as well as winter." Several speakers supported his stand. He had been scheduled to introduce the idea in an emergency resolution at the end of today's session.

Earlier, delegates turned a deaf ear to Courtenay council's call for a province-wide rebellion of civic governments. AGREE IN PRINCIPLE They rejected the Courtenay resolution that would have requested "municipal councils in British Columbia to refuse to collect school taxes." Courtenay supporters said a united front by civic governments on the issue would force either school boards or the provincial govei.iment to raise the school taxes which municipalities now collect without having any control over school budgets. Numerous delegates said the proposal was "unworkable," but several said they agreed with the principle that only governments that control taxes should levy them. GARBAGE CONTROL In other resolutions, the 50-odd delegates representing most Island municipalities asked the provincial government to introduce legislation providing stricter control of garbage dumping along highways. They also asked the province to provide garbage dumps for residents of unorganized areas.

Several resolutions for smoothing out financial planning procedures by municipalities were approved. Friends' execution of master plans dio- tated in faraway places. Eisenhower never mentioned Nikita Khrushchev by name, although the Kremlin leader has been spearheading a bitter attack aeainst him personally since collapse of the Paris summit conference in mia-May. But with Khrushchev obviously in mind, Eisenhower said that "the principal target" of the current Red propaganda drive is the U.S. In answer, Eisenhower said, Communism had forcibly deprived 12 countries of independence in the last 15 years while in the same period 33 "lands that were once subject to Western control have peaceably achieved campaigns will be revived for the restriction of imports of Japanese goods if there are hostile demonstrations against the president's party.
