MICKE ERECTING MEMORIAL IN GROVE Today May Ba D-Day in Revolt Against Pro-Red Regime TEGUCIGALPA Honduras, June 18 (AP) Armed Guatemalan exiles were reported massing along their jittery homelands frontier with. Honduras amid indications today may be D-day for a revolt against President Jacobo Arbenz Guzmans Communist-influenced regime. The belief stemmed in part from Guatemalan Ambassador Amadeo Chinchilla, who said he had received reports that resistance forces would launch a rebellion today.

Reports from -censorship-blanketed Guatemala said authorities there were 'readying a massive public demonstration today. Ostensibly this was to show solid support for the government, but observers here also interpreted it as a possible move to mobilize pro-Arbenz forces in case of a revolt. WORKERS TO MARCH Dispatches from Guatemala said 100,000 laborers were expected to parade through the streets of Guatemala City. Here in the Honduran capital, armed khaki-dad men apparently recruits for the exile resistance movement directed from here by Carlos Castillo Armas continued to leave the city, presumably for the border. A two-engine transport plane with drawn curtains airlifted a dozen men out of Tegucigalpa last night.

The group carried side arms and lugged radio and several wooden crates aboard. Earlier reports said an armed boat pulled out of the Honduran port of La Ceiba and headed for Guatemala. Informants said it was moving into position for a strike' against the major Gua temalan port of Puerto Barrios, Col. Rodolfo Mendoza, former chief of the Guatemalan air force, who fled here-last week to take part in Castillo Armas movement, was Interviewed over the exiles' secret radio last night. This indicated he might already be near the border.

FIGHT PREDICTED Castillo Armas, hdwever, was still at his headquarters in Tegucigalpa yesterday. In a rallying call from there, he said his forces "will not cease our victorious fight until we eradicate Communism and ex-pell Arbenz and his followers from the sacred soil of Guatemala." There was no accurate estimate of the number under Castillo Armas command. One of his aides said the resistance forces have 5000 men poised near the border.

The strong possibility was foreseen that Mendes-Ffance may conclude with the Red bloc at Geneva an Indo-Chinese partition deal with which the U. S. Government would be unwilling to associate itself American diplomats also. feared the establishment of the Mendes-France government may mean the' death knell for the European Defense Community (EDC) in its present form.

It is likely to lead the United States to start the "agonizing reappraisal of its own policy in Europe which Secretary of State John Foster Dulles warned of some months ago. EDO RAPPED (In 'Paris, the French Assemblys Defense Commission adopted a report recommending the nonratification of EDG) The fact that Moscow ordered the French Communist Party to throw its support to Mendes-France was seen as a clear sign Russia thinks he is the man with whom the Communist world can make a deal, not only in Indo-China but in Europe aa well. (The Communist bloc voted for the new premier etfen after he spurned their support end announced he would not accept the post unless he won a majority on non-Communist votes 'alone. He made.it by a margin of six votes.) The development marks a grave setback vf or United States foreign With Mendes-FVance expected in Geneva within the coming week, the conference will be revived on terms far more favorable to the Communists than anything thats happened here to date. Anglo-American plans to relegate the discussions to the technical level were upset.

It will be difficult for Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden' and Undersecretary of State Walter Bedell Smith to withdraw from the parley, although both still plan to go to Washington for the Eisenhower-Churchill talks next which may take on more importance than ever. BASIC ISSUE The situation In Paris was felt in American circles to put the basic issue of Allied unity in ques-' tion. What to do in view of Mendes-Francee expected move to seek revision or scrapping of EDC will pose a major problem for Anglo-American diplomacy. It is considered probable that Eisenhower end Sir Winston will consult today or tomorrow by trans-Atlantic phone- about the possibility of inviting the new French leader to attend the talks in Washington next weekend. The effort would be made then to if Mendes-France can be persuaded to maintain Allied unity on basic issues.

Hispolitical victory elatedthose French officials who believe a north-south partition deal in Indo-China is the only hope for a peaceful settlement. 1 RUSSIA' VETOES UN PEACE PLAN Threats, Failure to Get Security WASHINGTON, June 18 (UP) Sen. John .1 McClellan today demanded an immediate housedeaning of Sen.1 Joseph R. McCarthys investigating subcommittee staff because of "alleged threats and failure of some staff members to get Defense Department security clearance. McClellan also said after a stormy closed session of the special Army-McCarthy investigating subcommittee that the executive branch has an "immediate re- Cost High WASHINGTON, June 18 (AP) The McCarthy-Army hearings were written Into history with about two million words of testimony and documents and, by a very rough estimate, nearly 10 million dollars of radio and televirion time.

Government officials said it would be Impossible to get anything like an exact figure on the cost of the hearing to the taxpayers. The biggest Item, of course, would be the time taken by government officials and employes already on the payroll. Untold millions of words were filed by press associations and newspapers covering the hearings. sponsibility" to take "appropriate action executive officials who were "principals in the Army-McCarthy hearings. McClellan was asked if he referred to Army Secretary Robert T.

Stevens and Army Counselor John G. Adams. "They are principals arent they? he said. NO NAMES Roy M. Cohn, chief counsel of McCarthys subcommittee, and other staff members also appeared to be targets of McClellans demand for a "housedeaning.

But McClellan would not specify names. McCarthy was not available. FTancis P. Carr, subcommittee staff director, said he had' "no comment, no comment at all on McClellans statement. McClellans comments to newsmen marked a renewal of the partisan bitterness that ran throughout the 36 days of hearings.

which ended yesterday. The two other subcommittee Democrats, Sens. Stuart Symington of Missouri and Henry M. Jackson of Washington, endorsed his statement. McClellans views came in the wake of a demand by Sen.

Charles E. Potter (IL-Mich.) for an "overhauling of the McCarthy subcom-mittee staff. RAPS TOP EMPLOYES Potter, In a press statement released yesterday during the dosing minutes of the hearings, said "top employes involved ui both sides of the case should be fired. Both Symington and McClellan said two members of the subcommittee staff applied for clearance from the Defense Department more than a year ago and it still has not been granted. "If you dont grant it, you refuse it.

Symington said one applied for (Continued on Page 2, Column 2) Ike Asks Congress for 'Jobless' Funds WASHINGTON. June 18 (UP) President Eisenhower asked Congress for an additional today, most of it for unemployment compensation. The new money would be for expenditures in the fiscal year starting July 1.

Of the total 8131.609,000 would go to the Labor Department. Of the labor department share, would be for unemployment compensation and employment service administration. The request for more money in this category resulted from a rise in estimated annual average of unemployment cases. When the 1955 budget was drafted, the case average was estimated at But the White House said compensation is now being paid on 1,900,000 cases. The other requests: 83,000,000 to meet an increased Eitient load in Veterans Admin-t ration hospitals.

War br Quit PARIS, June 18 (UP) Radical Socialist Pierre Mendes-France scored the biggest' political surprise-in postwar Western Europes history today by winning the Flench premiership on his pledge to sfop the fighting In Indo-China within a month or resign. Mendes-Frances early-morning victory in the National Assembly by a lop-sided and unexpected majority of 419 to votes reversed a years-long swing to the right in French politics. Foreign Minister Georges Bi-daults Popular Republican (MRP) party abstained in the main and announced it would not take part in the new cabinet.

100 RED VOTES The new premier, Frances 20th since the end of World War II, received all the 100 Communist votes, but brushed off their "kiss of death" by promising beforehand he would not accept the Assemblys endorsement if he failed to muster the necessary 314-vote majority, without Red support. He did not need it. -Mendes-France, 47, went before the same group of deputies who rejected him a year ago and confidently offered a four-point program to end the crisis brought about Saturday by the resignation of rightwing Premier Joseph LanieL It would: 1. Give the Geneva conference adversaries just four weeks to reach a cease-fire agreement on Indo-China. Unless tins is done by July 20, resign.

RECOVERY PROGRAM 2. Introduce within the next four -weeks' an economic recovery program which would progressively permit France to get along without foreign aid and expand production through maximum use of resource. 3. Confront enemies parti of the proposed European army and seek a compromise, to the controversial defense plan which now would arm 500,000 West Germans. 7 4.

Resume negotiations on riving home-rule to Tunisia and where pro-Communist, anti-French terrorists have been murdering European settlert. Only the dissident Gaullists and several members of the Independent and Peasant Parties opposed Mendes-France. Mendes-Frances next test comes when he goes before the Assembly hi a few days tojzet confirmation of his cabinet. This will give the deputies a chance to change their mind and throw him out, thus starting the crisis all over again.

Column 1) LONDON. June 18 (UP) The foreign office said today Britain will refuse to let American warships stop and search British merchant vessels for arms shipments hound for Guatemala. British refusal is expected to be followed by Europe-wide rejection of the American proposal intended to prevent gun-running to the Central American Republic which the United Slates charges is Communist-tainted. Britain, while turning down the request, promised to "cooperate to the fullest extent possible" under British and international law in seeking to prevent British ships tram carrying arms to Guatemala. France, Denmark and Norway are expected to take similar West Germany is believed the only nation likely to agree to the American request.

Shipping angrily charged the United States plan would violate the. time-honored principle of freedom of the seas in peacetime. The Influential Manchester Guardian bitterly attacked the Washington request under a headline: "The New Colonialism." This is carrying things too far," the Guardian said bitterly. "In the first place, there is not proof that Guatemala rist really Communist; in the sscond'the other, states of the American Continent have not yet formally put at the complete disposal of the United States Who can talk of colonialism now?" Prime Minister Winston Churchill, who likes to describe, himself as a former naval person" was expected to talk over the request with President Eisenhower when he flies' to Washington next week. It was pointed out that for six years there has been a British arms embargo on shipments to Guatemala and shipping circles are reported trying to find hew ways to tighten the controls.

The jury earlier convicted her of assault with a dangerous weapon. But she insists she is Just as guilty as her three confederates who were convicted of assault with intent to kill as well as with a weapon. cannot understand why I am not guilty as the boys, she said, without conceding there was really anything wrong with their fanatical act. As it now stands, Mrs. Lebron fkces a prison term of up to 50 years.

But the three men Rafael Cancel Miranda, Andres Figueroa Cordero and Irving Flores Rodriguez face prison terms up to 75 years. Judge Alexander Holtzoff postponed sentencing pending a report on the trios background. But ultimate Jail terms were expected to be lighter than the maximum allowed by law. Before dismissing the panel, Holtzoff told the jurors they had decided a historic case "the only one of its kind that has occurred so far in the history of this republic, and, I hope, the only one that will ever occur." Mrs. Lebron vigorously nodded her head in apparent agreement with his words.

Later she told reporters, "I am thankful to God" that none of five congressmen wounded in the assault died. Realtors Urge New Parking Law The complete elimination of all Stockton off-street parking requirements was recommended this morning by the Stockton Realty Board directors. The present law obviously is not working," President Richard Robbins observed," so the best thing seems to be to start from scratch and write a new, workable law." The realty board recommendation will be presented to the City Council Monday night during a public hearing which has been scheduled on the off-street parking problem. The Realty Board decision, voted unanimously by its directors, followed a six-week study by a committee headed by Frank Pei-rano and including F. J.

Dietrich Jr. and A. B. Eichelberger. The director resolution follows: "Rather than amend Ordinance 2638 in the discriminatory manner proposed, we recommend the elimination now of the off-street parking requirement provisions relative to all districts.

"We further recommend that the Advisory Parking Commission be given ample time to thoroughly consider all phases of the parking needs of the City of Stockton." -The Stockton. Merchants Association also was to discuss the parking law this morning hut could not obtain a quorum. Secretary Harold Jackson Brown reported. Brown said this means that the merchants association action of June 8 urging the city to-continue enforcement of this off-street parking laws unchanged will hold. Under consideration by the City Council is a plan to- revise-the present ordinance, relating to off-street parking' to require builders to contribute $750 per -stall to a parking fund if they are unable to provide- parking -spaces as for in the ordinance.

The proposed change would also reduce by 50 per cent the requirements for off-street parking in the central business district.
