Herter today pledged full U.S. support for the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization in its quest for peace arid stability in the Far 'East. In remarks prepared for the opening of the SEATO Councfl of Ministers he said existence of the eight-nation defense alliance has given a. greater sense of security to the area southwest of Communist China. "The United States is determined to continue to carry out its responsibilities in concert with the "other members," Herter said.

ceremonial opening was in some respects, only a prelude to a two-hour luncheon meeting of the SEATO ministers with President The White House date underscored the importance the United States attaches to the cOEncil which brings together the prime ministers of Australia and New Zealand and the foreign ministers of Britain, France the Philippines, Pakistan and Thailand, with Herter as chairman. Vice President Richard M. Nixon; drew the assignment to welcome the ministers formally on behalf of the United States. Britain's Foreign Minister Sel- Lloyd said one of the achievements of SEATO is the fact that there has been no major act of agression in the area since the defense alliance was formed. Foreign Minister Maurice Ccnive de Murville of France and Prime Minister Walter Nash of New Zealand both called attention to the failure of the Paris summit conference and the impact this has on all'parts of the world, including Asia.

Nash said repercussions of the summit 611 a will be felt throughput the world and SEATO must be prepared to deal with them. All eight nations are pledged to resist Communist aggression and subversion in the treaty area which includes -Viet Nam, Laos and Cambodia. Unlike NATO, the SEATO countries maintain no standing joint forces to repel an attack.

The top council is expected to approve recommendations by its military advisers that both military planning and intelligence operations as well as joint maneuvers be stepped up as a defensive measure. Of chief concern now is the possibility that Communist China may be emboldened by Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev's disruption of the summit meeting to overplay its in Southeast Asia. A confidential report of SEATO military advisers who have labeled Sotrtheast Asia a prime Chinese Communist target will be considered. Other reports will be made by SEATO Secretary-General Pote Sarasin and by the Council of Representatives who meet monthly in Bangkok. Results of the session may well bring a step-up of military assistance sought by the Philippines, Pakistan and Thailand.

(AP)--An angry group of officials started an investigation today into the slow- motion crash of a home-made scaffold which killed two men and injured 82 persons at the start of Monday's 500-mile race.

Coroner Roy B. Storms placed the blame on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway management. He said for years the group has ignored bis protests against the makeshift towers which dot the track's infield every Memorial day. Edwin K. Steers, Indiana attorney general, said a check will be to determine whether safety measures can be on the privately owned track.

Fred H. Linder, 36, Indianapolis and William Craig, 37, Zionsville, died of broken necks when the 30-foot aluminum tower, jammed with possibly as many as 130 persons, tipped as its spectators leaned forward to watch the pre-race activities. The spectators had rented seats at $5 and $10 on the scaffold, mounted on a truck bed. Speedway officials for many years have allowed private 'owners to haul in towers and charge whatever they can for seats. The fan-built stands are not inspected beyond "lookin? safe," said Albert W.

Bloemker, speedway publicity director. "We were all sitting at the top of the tower when it started to fall. There was nothing we could do except ride it down and jump." Leo M. Riley of Lansing, thus described the collapse. Riley, Maurice Shiffer, 32, of Lansing, Bernard Nelson, 34, and his brother, Frank Nelson, 27, both of Grand Ledge, all rode" down to Indianapolis in Frank Nelson's auto to see the race.

'All four were on the tower and were injured when it collapsed. Shiffer suffered a broken left leg, Bernard Nelson a dislocated collar-bone -and broken a Frank Nelson a broken ankle and Riley minor cuts and bruises on the head and legs. All were treated at General Hospital." brose Matejik; masters of ceremonies, the Rev. Arthur J. Parrotta and the Rev.

The Order of St. Gregory the Great is conferred by the pope deserving men at the suggestion of their bishop. The honor is usually conferred in "their maturer years of life and rewards character, devotion to the cause of religion, marked charity and personal -worth. Mr. O'Donnell, a member of St.

Ambrose parish, has, since its inception, been active in the affairs of the Upper Peninsula Laymen's Retreat Association, and particularly Camp Plagens, near Watersmeet, which is operated by the association for Upper Peninsula youngsters. The Papal Citation conferring the honor reads: "We, John XXin, Supreme Pontiff, gladly acceding to the petition made to us, from which we understand that you have well served the Church, being ever mindful of her We in order to give public testimony of our gracious good will, do elect, create and proclaim you, Patrick J. O'Donnell, of the Diocese of Marquette, a Knights of the Order of Saint Gregory the Great, of the civil class. We grant you the right to use all the privileges which are connected with this dignity." The citation was issued at Rome on July 17, 1959. The services at the church are open to members of the parish and friends.

The investiture will ba followed by a reception in the church hall. Mr. O'Donnell was born in BeUe Plain, March 6, When he was three his family moved to Duluth.

Seen by Reporter Who Toured Land EDITOR'S NOTE: Riots, bloodshed, and an assassination attempt on Prime Minister Ver- woerd have focused world attention on South Africa. In this article, the first of three, an Associated Press reporter who toured the troubled land describes its atmosphere of siege and the human toll of continuing racial conflict. By SAUL PETT JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP)--This may be the Armageddon of the white man in Africa. Here in the Union of South Africa, the most highly developed, most prosperous nation on the continent, the white man is strongest, most deeply entrenched and outnumbered by blacks only three to one. Here, he is most determined to hold on to his way of life.

While the "wind of change" may sweep the rest of Africa, the white man here, particularly the Afrikaner or man of Dutch extraction, is ready to fight to the end rather than share his rule or be ruled by the black man. 1 To a visitor, it is a strange, tortured country full of natural beauty and human ugliness. But the broad sweep of the veld, the clear, vivid of the high interior, the lush rolling hills and graceful blue gum' trees along the Indian Ocean coast do not quite make up for the oppressive atmosphere. This is a melting pot, where the human ingredients never melted. A land of mutuqj distrust, where the Afrikaner still resents the Englishman (who beat him in a war 60 years ago), and both groups of whites distrust the black man, the mixed breeds and the Indians, and all the nonwhite groups dislike each other, and the white man's dog barks only at the natives.

In South Africa, there is a ghel- to for almost everyone, real or imagined, voluntary or enforced, for rich, for poor, for Afrikaner, for Englishman, for black, brown, tan- and off-white. This is a country of tension and fear, where some whites are selling out and moving abroad, where many (especially the English) are talking about leaving, where prop- Interview of Russian Author May Be Told Since His Death Note--Gustav Svensson, formerly assigned to the Moscow staff of The Associated Press and fluent in Russian, interviewed Boris Pasternak in 1958 at the height of the storm over his Nobel Prize. The following story of-the interview is the part that could not be printed while Pasternak was alive. He talked freely to friends and reporters but suggest-' ed, for the sake of his personal safety, that discretion be used in what they made public. By GUSTAV SVENSSON GENEVA (AP)--Boris Pasternak told me, in the middle of the storm over "Doctor that he believed the Nobel Prize had saved his life.

He also said that despite statements made in his name, he had never renounced the Nobel award. Pointing, to his head and heart, Pasternak said: "It is in here and in there and will remain there forever." Two. days before King Gustaf VI of Sweden, was to present the Nobel awards to the winners in Stockholm, Pasternak asked me, a a Swede, to tell the Swedish Academy that he still claimed the prize although he was unable to go to Sweden to receive it in person. "I could send somebody to pick up the prize money for me," he said. He added jokingly: "I could not ask- our Stockholm ambassador to do it for me because that would be the summit of duplicity." Duplicity and the breakdown of personal integrity in a Communist society are the main themes See AUTHOR--Fage 18.

erty values have tumbled because the White man isn't buying and the black man can't. This is a taut country in a state of emergency, where armored cars stand ready to move out against renewed rioting, where political prisoners remain in jail without charge, where a world- famous novelist, Alan Paton, feels he must choose his words carefully lest he- be arrested for subversion. This is one of the world's last and strongest outposts of Kiplin- gesque empire, where even a middle class white can still live like a 19th century colonial'. Almost everyone has one or two servants who live in the little house in the back because you can get a domestic from S12 to S20 a month, plus food and, lodging. The black man is called "boy" whether he's 6 or 60, and the black man calls the white man "boss" or "master." This is a painfully color-conscious country, where the government is trying to classify people by their complexions, where they are examined full face, and in profile and asked the most personl questions.

Where a man thought to be white may lose his job, his wife and his home if his color or history proves less than pure white. This is a land where many have watched these street scenes without protest: A black is stopped by a policeman and asked for his pass book. The native says the book is in the house where he works across the street or in that garage 10 yards away. But he is arrested anyway without a chance to get the book--not always but often. The government- says such things either don't occur or if they do they are the fault of an overzealous policeman.

South Africa has many overzealous policemen. On a pass-book sweep, a policeman handcuffs one black to his left wrist and another to his right and if business is especially brisk he handcuffs other natives to a street post or fence until the police van comes for the day's catch. Police sweep into a native area in the middle of the night and wake people out of bed asking for pass books. C. W.

Prinsloo, chief information officer for the department of native affairs, complains that the foreign press cites only the abuses of the pass system. "Why," he asks, "don't you also mention the thousands of Bantus (natives) who are helped by the pass books?" All right: Thousands are helped, because only 38 per cent are literate, and frequently, if a native is sick and dying, the only way to determine where he came from or where he worked is by his pass book.

Morris Drops Out Of GOP Race Bagwell Unopposed as Governor Candidate LANSING (AP) In a stun ningly surprising move, Sen. Carl H. Morris of Kalamazoo with drew from the Republican race for governor today. His action left Paul D. Bagwell the 1958 GOP candidate, with a clear field 'for the 'nomination.

Morris led the Republican fight against an income tax in last year's marathon legislative session and had geared his. campaign to opposition to the levy on personal and corporate income. His withdrawal announcement asserted: "Unfortunately the leaders of giant business and the leaders of the big labor unions intend to have a state income tax adopted whether the people of Michigan want it or not." The Kalamazoo senator said he found himself unable to gain sufficient financial support to continue his campaign. "I have found the run for governor takes a great deal of money, which unfortunately I do not have," Morris said. "To continue to run for governor just to be snowed under by purchases of television, radio and newspaper advertising would be useless.

"Accordingly, before I ruin my family financially, I am hereby withdrawing from the race for governor." The word came to reporters in a press statement delivered to the capitol by Morris A. (Mike) Reilly, a campaign aide. "I have worked my heart out to keep an income tax off the backs of the people of the State of Michigan," Morris said in his statement. He added: "Much as I feel the cause of the people I cannot do the impossible." He pledged to continue to support the Republican party, and expressed his gratitude to those who had worked in his behalf. Bagwell could not be reached immediately for comment.

He was reported en route to Detroit. Morris was unavailable for elaboration of his prepared statement, especially on a hazy reference to big business and big unions being reconciled to a state income tax. A campaign aide said he left with his family this morning for the seclusion of a summer on Little West Lake in Van Buren County.

A final appeal Monday urged motorists "to exert care and patience" on homeward bound drives.

Before the holiday got underway, -the council had estimated 375 persons would die in traffic accidents this weekend. The Associated Press conducted a survey for comparative purposes during a. 78-hour period over a weekend in mid-May. It showed 330 persons died in traffic accidents. During the 1959 Memorial Day observance, which was two days, 310 persons died in traffic accidents.

failure to gather campaign support, Morris only could have referred to failure of supporters from business and the professions to come through. He was no friend of organized unions, at least their leaders, and could have expected little if any help from this quarter. In announcing his candidacy, Morris, a self styled conservative, said the people have had "representative stolen from them by Solidarity House" except for the state senate. Solidarity House is headquarters of the politically powerful United Auto Workers headed by Walter P. Reuther.

There was tight lipped reaction from Lawrence B. Lindemer, Republican stafe chairman, with whom Morris had been at odds: "I welcomed a primary contest as good for the Republican party and am surprised at Sen. Morris' decision to withdraw as a candidate." Lindemer naid. NEWSPAPER! 32 to Graduate At St. Ambrose Commencement Rites Wednesday at 4 P.M.
