Hoover, Royal 10 Testify
For St. Lawrence Project

Former President Herbert Hoover
and Undersecretary OF War Royal
were added today to the list of
witnesses who will begin testimony
tomorrow in favor of legislation
authorizing the st. Lawrence sea-
way and power development.
Mr.. Hoover, whose advocacy of the
seaway development started before

ton on the legislation.
The bipartisan measure, intro
duced May 9 by Senator Vanden-

mittee, has announced that two
days will be allotted to proponents
of the measure. a similar period to

Drunk Driving Tests
Approved by Senators

Legislation providing for compul-
sorry examination of persons charged
with drunken driving was one of
five bills approved today by a Sem
ate District subcommittee.
The other measures reported to
the full committee included bills to
give police and firemen credit for
time served In the armed forces for
retirement and promotion purposes; !;
payment Of $3.50 a year to police in
spectors for the use of their private
automobiles. and changes in the
certificate of incorporation of the
Methodist Home of the District to
take care of a recent merging of
Methodist religious groups.
In approving the compulsory
drunken driving tests, the COM
mittee eliminated from the bill the
provision calling for breath tests
Chairman McGrath said the breath
examination Yves too unreliable.
The bill provides that police may
take blood and urine tests OF per-
sons charged with drunken driving
The House has not yet acted on a
similar measure.
Some of the bills reported are ex-
pected to be considered by the full

PETPING. May 27.-Marine recon
naissance patrols-their activities
restricted by heightened Chinese
Communist attacks In the vicinity
have been evacuated from the North
China port Of Chinwangtao by de-
stroyers with air escort, officers here
reported today.
The removal will likely delay
further the 1st Marine Division's 8
withdrawal from China, since the
deep-water port has been a chief
loading point for the departing
troops.
About 200 Marines with scouting
equipment had been dispatched to
Chlnwangtao to determine the Sc
curity of the port. It was this
security patrol which two Navy
destroyers, protected by fighter
planes from Tsingtao, picked UP
Sunday. bag and baggage. Not q
single Marine Is left there. The
unit is now safely back in Tientsin

Before further American troop
Withdrawals can be planned, new
surveys must be made to insure
against any possible encounter with
the Communists. they explained.
Under a timetable outlined while
Secretary of State Marshall was in
Moscow recently, the number of
American Marines and soldiers in
China would be cut to $3.50 by June
6. But since Chinwangtao evidently
cannot be used at present. that date
will probably be set back at least
two weeks, Marine sources here
estimated.

Niearaguan President Hoover Says Industry
0usted by Congressin OF Ex-Enemy Nations
Coup by Gen. Somoza Can Be UnshackIed
Socosu Named Successor
After AreueIIo Is Held
'lneopoeitoted' by Revolt

President Leonardo Arguello
of Nicaragua has been declared
"incapacitated" by the Nicara-
guam Congress following a blood
less seizure of power by Gen.
Anastasio somoza, the State
Department reported today.
The Nicaraguan Congress was said
to have held that President Arguello
was "incapacitated" to hold the
presidential Office because of his
failure to preserve public order.
In the meantime, President Ar
guello has taken refuge In the Mexi-
can Embassy with his wife and IL
loyal national guard officers, reports
to the department said.
Benjamin Lescayo Sacasa was Sc
lected by the Nicaraguan Congress
as provisional President pending the
ealing of new elections, according to
the departments information.
Details Given by Phone.
The latest developments in the
Mcaraguan coup d'etat were re-
ported to the State Department in
a telephone conversation shortly
after noon with Maurice M. Bern
baum, charge d'affaires of the Amer
ican Embassy in the capital city of
Managua.
Mr.. Bernbaum said the Nicaraguan
Congress acted last night after Gen.
Somoza, head of the army and for
mer President, had seized power.
Gen. Somoza kept President Ar
guello prisoner in the presidential
palace for time yesterday.
Some members of the diplomatic
corps ir Managua called on deposed
President Arguello in the presiden-
tial palace yesterday afternoon and
presumably arranged for him to take
refuge in the Mexican Embassy with
Gen. Somoza's consent.
None in United States Embassy.
Mr.. Bernbaum reported to the
State Department that apparently
about 20 additional loyal national
guard officers have taken refuge in
other diplomatic missions.
None are in the United States
Embassy, however. The State De-
partment press officer said it is
against American policy to grant
asylum in such cases.
There has been no action yet, he
said, on any question of recognition.
He pointed out that usually in such
abrupt changes of government in
Latin America the question of rec
ognition is discussed by the other
American republics before action Is
taken.
The spokesman said no danger to
American citizens was reported.

A heavy turnout of voters In

stimulated by fair weather and
wide interest in one of the most
controversial questions subjected

An estimated 5000 had voted by

Ballots were being cast to settle
three main questions:
Whether to retain the existing
method Of naming the School Board
or change to directly elected or
County Board appointment method.
Whether to approve all or parts or
reject a four point school improve
ment bond issue totalling $4,000 900.
Whether to approve or reject q
$780, 900 bond issue for capital Ina
provements for purposes other than
schools.
