panied by her mother, were de.
voted largely to the game.
Her other time avoca.
ton is reading detective stories
which she thinks is "the mos
wonderful way to forget al
about any problem that may bt
on your mind"
Unlike most women, she has
absolutely no collections, of any
kind. II think I have been in
the trust business too long and
seen how hard it is to get rid
of what people collect" she SAID
with a grin. Il don't mean that
valuable silver or antiques can't
easily be sold. But most of the
things people collect are just
junk. When you try to dispose
of a lot of miscellaneous things
you realize they are valuable
only to one person"
In Milwaukee Miss Cleary
lived with her mother, Mrs
Michael j. Cleary. Her father
who died about six years ago
was at one time Insurance Com.
missioner of Wisconsin. He wa.
president of a mutual insurance
company when he died.
Here Miss Cleary plans to live
in a small furnished apartment
Her mother will stay in Milwau-
kee.
The new assistant Treasurer
had one furry of political activ-
ity four years ago-she worked
for Harold Stassen in the Wis
consin presidential primary and
was an alternate delegate
pledged to him at the G. o. P.
convention that year. But she
has been too busy" to be active
in politics since, although she
was "for Eisenhower from the
beginning" and she was utterly
astonished last month when she
got a long distance phone call
from Treasurer Ivy Baker Priest
offering her her present post.
So far as she can learn, she
says, she got the job because her
name was the top among four
submitted last November to Mrs.
Priest, who was then with the
COP. National Committee, by
Mrs. George Town, Republican
National Committeewoman from

Wisconsin. Mrs. Priest had re.
quested recommendations from
all the committeewomen.
The first thing Miss Cleary
found out when she got to town
was that she won't ever be called
upon to sign her name on the
currency. Only the Treasurer's
name is used. Her Milwaukee
friends had asked her to find out
if she might have to sub at that
function.
So far as she knows yet, q
good deal of her time will be de-
voted to making speeches. some
thing at which she is an old
hand. She has frequently adj
dressed women's groups on es-
tateS and wills.
The newcomer is footlooSe and
fancy free, Economically speak
ing, she insists. When told her
new job probably would entail a
good bit Of party going she said
she thought that would be great
fun"

Two Persons Killed In
Crash off Constellation
At Idlewild Airport

NEW YORK, R-An Eastern
Airlines Constellation with 81
persons aboard crashed in flames
after taking off from fog-shroud-
ed Idlewild Airport at 1886 am.
today.
Two of % passengers aboard
the four-engined craft were killed
and at least four others were in
jured critically and six more were
treated for burns and released.
Two of the five crewmen were
injured. \
A steward who plunged through
flames to- open a fuselage door
after the passengers were trapped
inside the plane was credited with
keeping the toll from going high
er.
The crash, first to cause fatal
tiles since the giant 4,9OO-acre
field was opened in 1913, touched
off an investigation by Queens
County authorities.
The takeoff came after a de-
lay of more than an hour. The
plane was only about 200 feet
above the runway when it shud-
dered and plunged through a
grassy marsh. The plane burned
fiercely as emergency squads
from the airport and nearby hos
pitfalls fought to clear the wreck

1000 Iowa Students Riot
In Homecoming" Rally

AMES, Iowa, Up - A football
victory riot of approximately
1000 Iowa State College students
wore itself out early Monday after
80 police officers tried in vain
with tear gas to put down the
demonstration.
Traffic on the transcontinental
Lincoln Highway had to be de-
toured for more than an hour
after the students threw a road
block of drainage tile across it.
The students, celebrating 1876
Homecoming football victory over
Missouri Saturday, began demon
strating after their demands for a
Monday holiday from classes
were not met.
The police said they used up
all their tear gas in an unsuccess-
full effort to break up the demon
stration. When tear gas shells
were tossed, however, the stu
dents simply dispersed until the
fumes drifted away.

US. Will Stop Aid To
Israel Unless They Halt
Diverting Jordan River

WASHINGTON, Up 49, T h e
United States has notified Israel
it will withhold American finan-
cial aid until the Israeli govern
ment stops trying to divert waters
of the Jordan River along the
Syrian border.
Informed officials who reported
this today, said the State Depart
ment regards Israels Jordan
River project as a violation of
United Nations arrnistice in the
Israeli-Arab war.
The notice Of intent to suspend
American aid was given about
two weeks ago. The Israeli gov
eminent is ignoring American
protests. Latest reports indicate
the work force on the project has
been almost doubled and flood
lights have been brought up to
permit night work.
The United States gave Israel
about IS million dollars in econ
omic aid last year as part of a
comprehensive plan ito better liv-
ing conditions in the Middle East.

Planning For Korean
Peace Conference To
Start Next Monday

TOKYO, (Tuesday) Com
munist China last night accepted
a US. invitation to start planning
the Korean peace conference at
Panmunjom next Monday but the
Reds insisted on the right to settle
there who will take part in the
full-scale talks.
The Communists didn't yield a
step to us. demand that the
preliminary sessions settle only
time and place of the peace con-
ference and not its makeup.
In a note to the United States
and the U.N. broadcast by the
Red Peiping radio, the, Commun-
lists again insisted that non-belli-
gerent nations take part in the
conference, making it a round
table meeting.
The U.N. has proposed a con-
ference of belligerents only, with
Russia to sit in on the Red side
if the Communists invite her.
However, the Red note came in
the wake of reports from London
that the foreign ministers of the
United States, Britain and France
have agreed secretly on a new
and different plaza peace con-
ference made up of the big five
and North Korea.
Such a conference would in
clude Russia and-for this meet
ing, anyway-Red China, rather
than Nationalist China.
The new plan repeatedly is to
be presented at the coming Pan
munjom meeting, but the Com
munists gave no indication in
their latest message that they had
any inkling of such a move.

Tito Stands Fast On
Threat To Send His
Troops Into Trieste

BELGRADE, YugoSlaVla, Up -
Yugoslavs were puzzled today
over the latest Big Three develop
ment on the explosive Trieste dis
pute; but their leaders stood fast
in their threat to march in if Ital-
ian troops move into Zone A.
There was still no official COM
ment on the Vests invitation to
Yugoslavia and Italy to meet with
the United States, Britain and
France to discuss the burning
Trieste question.
Yugoslavia's chief U.N. delegate
Leo Mates said yesterday in Wash
ington he thought his government
might be inclined to accept. But
President Tito and other speakers
already have declared they feel
such a meeting would be of no
use if Britain and the United
States held in advance to their de-
cision to pull out of Zone A of
Trieste and turn it over to Italian
administration.
Tito repeated his threat to push
troops into the area comprising
the vital Adriatic port city of Tri
este the moment Italian troOrs set
foot in Zone A.
Italian Premier Giuseppe Pella
has threatened his government
will resign if the West backs down
on its latest decision.

P-I Sees No Rise In
Canned Salmon Prices Due
Sketchiness of Pack

SEATTLE, R-The Post Intel
ligencer said Sunday that despite
the disastrous failure of salmon
runs. in southeastern Alaska this
year there is no indication that
the scarcity will bolster canned
salmon prices.
The Pr explained in its article
that although there is no informa-
ton on holdover stocks from last
year it is generally believed they
are high. This is the reason the
industry is doubtful that the 1858
shortage will create any appreci-
able price rise for canned salmon.
The newspaper said that declin-
ing meat prices also have added
to the salmon Gamers woes since
consumers are passing up high
priced canned salmon even more
than before.
The article went on to say that
earnings for even some of the
financially strong packers have
dropped severely and most have
shown losses.

Asst. Air Secretary Roger Lewis Says
Americas Defense Against Attack
Must be Strong Retaliatory Air Force

ANCHORAGE, Up - The Air
Force estimates that the new B-52
long range bomber will cost about
$3,600,O00 when full production
is attained.
Asst. Secretary of Air Roger
Lewis indicated the cost in an
address prepared for dedication of
Anchorage's International Air
port Saturday.
Lewis noted that the United
States paid Russia $7,200,000 for
Alaska in 1867 and said that fig
ure twill just about buy us two
Boeing B-52s when they get into
mass production"
In his address, Lewis said the
Russians appear to be building a
heavy bomber similar to our B36.
1--WE have recently come upon
evidence that they are develop
ing, and are probably producing
heavy turpo-prop "a jet engine
driving propeller instead of
using jet thrush bomber compar-
able to our B-36, both in range
and performance" Lewis said.
''In addition to these bomber
forces they have many thousands
of MIG-15 fighters ready to chal-
lenge any nation for air superior
ity," Lewis went on.
Linked with this massive air
power capability, they now have
the atomic bomb and have given
positive indications that they
have unlocked the secret Of the
hydrogen bomb.
"This powerful force is quite
capable of launching an immedi.
ate attack on any point in Europe
and on most of the industrially
important cities in the United
States. We must therefore build
a defense against this threat-a
defense that includes retaliatory
force so powerful as to persuade
any would-aggressor never to-
provoke its use"
Lewis was the latest of a grow
ing list of high Air Force officials
to warn in public addresses of
the mounting capability of the
Red bomber force and to urge
that strong, long range fleet Of
American bombers be maintained

Cecil Wells, President of All-Alaska
Chamber of Commerce, Murdered
And His Wife Beaten In Fairbanks

FAIRBANKS, Up - A medical
examination Sunday disclosed
that Cecil Wells, president of the
All-Alaska Chamber of Com
merce, was shot to death instead
Of bludgeoned, as first thought.
Wells was slain and his pretty
young wife Diane was badly beat
en- early yesterday when two in
truders entered their eighth floor
apartment.
Police Chief E. v. Danforth said
Wells was killed by SO ca1iber
bullet which smashed through his
brain and was found lodged be-
hind his pillow. The elected cart
ridge was found in the bed. The
gun is missing.
The results of the medical ex-
animation deepened the mystery
surrounding the murder.
Mrs. Wells, a % year old
blonde, said she awoke Saturday
morning and discovered two
strange men just inside the apart
ment door. She said they began
beating her and she lapsed into
Inconsistencies.
When she came to she crawled
into the hallway, screaming for
help. Wells body was found on
the bed. The couples 3-year-old
son was unframed.
It was originally believed that
Wells had been bludgeoned to
death, but Danforth said internal
bleeding had caused Wells face
and head to turn black and blue,
thus giving the appearance that
his head had been crushed.
Danforth also said that despite
the fact Wells empty wallet was
found in the hall of the apart
ment building it was not believed
the motive for the murder was
robbery.
He said he found many valu-
ables in the Wells luxurious suite
which had not been touched. They
included considerable jewelry
which was lying in plain sight.
The Chamber of Commerce
here received notification that the
All Alaska Chamber meeting
scheduled this week at Mt. Nc
Kinley Park has been cancelled
dut to Wells wealth.
