To Oppose Admission Of Communist China to JUN. Under Any Circumstances

WASHINGTON, R - Republi- can congressional leaders agreed at President Eisenhower's insist ence to scrap proposed ban against further US. funds for the United Nations if Red China should be admitted to the LIN.
 The decision was announced by Sen. Bridges R-NFD after a White House meeting of COP Senate and House leaders. Eisen- hover had suddenly called the special meeting Tuesday fore noon.
 Bridges said the President en- dorsed substitute proposal that both houses go on record as op- posing the admission of the Chi nese Communists to the LIN under any circumstances at this time.
 Bridges added that it was the concensus of the meeting, with the President concurring, that this country not only would oppose Red China's admission but would take active leadership in keeping the Chinese Communists out of the world organization.
 Bridges and Sen. Knowland R-Calif) said the special meeting was called because of indications that the British, among others, may press for the admission of Red China in connection with a Korean armistice.

House Committee Passes Alaska Statehood Bill

WASHINGTON, R-The House Interior Committee Tuesday ap- proved a bill to grant statehood to Alaska.
 Nineteen members voted for the bill, four against it.
 Approval followed a short de- bate over what Alaskan claims might be made on submerged off shore lands.
 The measure was amended to grant Alaska, if it should become state, title to submerged lands for three miles beyond the main low tide mark.
 In the Senate the Alaskan state hood proposal has been combined with a Hawaiian statehood mea- sure.
 Sen. Butler R-Neb), chairman of the Senate committee, is op- posed to Alaska statehood; but has told supporters he expects the committee to approve a bill permitting Alaskans to elect their own governor.
 Butler said hearings on the question of Alaskan statehood will be held in the territory this sum- mer or fall.
 The House bill would require that the new states constitution be ratified by Congress.
 It would give the new state it's choice of 100 million acres of land, the selection to be made at any time within 25 years of it's admission to the union.
 It also would give Alaska, upon it's admission, IS million dollars with which to build roads and harbors and to carry out land surveys. Alaska would be ex- pected, however, to finance con- struction of it's own institutions.
 It was not immediately known how soon the bill might receive House consideration. It still must get Rules Committee approval to reach the House for action.

Elizabeth H Becomes Ruler of England, First Queen Since Victoria, l36 Yrs. Ago

LONDON, R-Britain crowned ; Elizabeth II Tuesday in a mag nificent spectacle of ancient pomp and pagentry, before the won dering eyes of her little son Charles, heir to the throne,
 The thunder of guns and the pealing of bells proclaimed to millions massed in London's streets the formal accession of Elizabeth the Queen, the first coronation of woman since Vic toria, 136 years ago.
 Crowds massed 25 to 35 deep, acclaimed the Queen going from Buckingham Palace to Westmin- ster Abbey, and coming home again. Only 7,5OO persons were in the Abbey, but millions more could see the 212 hour ceremony by television for the first time.
 Cries of God Save the Queen!" blended into a mighty roar from thousands of throats as tn e queens purple and golden coach left the Abbey for the main coro- nation procession, five miles and more through the center of the old capital.
 The 27-year-old queen, who had looked drawn near the close of the long Abbey ritual-and once near tears-flashed her smile. The Duke of Edinburgh was beside her.
 There was a deluge of rain as the main procession got under way. Wind blown rain and bril- liant sunshine competed with each other for control of the day. But tn e millions W h o gathered to cheer the queen stood firm in sites some had staked out 48 hours ahead of time.
 1900 People Hurt In Crowds
 The sun burst through lower ing skies when Elizabeth was pre- sented to the congregation in side the Abbey as your undoubt- ed queen" A cloudburst drenched the jam-packed capital at the moment of crowning. It rained steadily for 90 minutes, stopping only a few minutes before the conservation service ended. More than 1900 persons were counted casualties in the crush of crowds, with 25 hurt seriously enough to go to hospitals.
 Prince Charles, who is four, was brought to the Abbey just before the Archbishop of Canterbury placed the jewel-encrusted crown

of St. Edward upon the head of Britain's seventh queen, symboli- cally consecrating her to God and to the service of more than a half billion people in quarter of the earth.
 Prince Charles Sucks Thumb
 Charles acted like any bright four -year-old. Sucking his thumb, he gazed with awe upon the spec tacle centering about his blue eyed young mother.
 The boy destined to be king saw the crown placed on his mothers head at 12:33 pm. Eight minutes later he saw her solemn ly mount the gilded throne before the altar, and was startled by the swelling roar of God save the queen,' echoing through the an cient abbey in the united voice of 7,5OO assembled dignitaries.
 Elizabeth II Regina sat in sol emn splendor, the sceptres of au- thority in her hands, her head bowed beneath the weight of the five-pound crown, while outside trumpets, bells and guns carried the tidings.
 At the end of the ceremony she gave up St. Edwards crown and took on the lighter imperial crown for the procession.
 The young queen went through the stately ceremony with great poise and only the faintest out ward trace of nervousness. Edward Views Ceremony On TV
 In Paris, the man who still to- day could have been England's king watched the coronation of his niece on television. With the Duke of Windsor, briefly Edward VIII, was the woman for whom he surrendered the crown, his wife, the former Wallis Warfield Simpson of Baltimore.
 He never was crowned, and his abdication in 1886 brought George VI, to the throne Elizabeth be- came queen on her fathers death last year.
 Queen Mother Elizabeth must have recalled the crowning of her husband, for she wept softly through part of the ceremony. Nearby, the ordinarily vivacious Princess Margaret, 22-year-old sister of the queen, was pensive as she watched the crown being placed on the head of the girl she has always fondly called Lilibet.

he considered evidence that DR.

Under questioning by Chair

DR.. Fisher. formerly on the

Allison S Conviction
In Death Is Upheld
BY the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS. July 3.-The
Court Of Appeals yesterday up.
held the court that found Sergt
Homer Allison guilty of man
slaughter in the death of his
pregnant wife last September 7
The high court ruled there was
sufficient evidence to warrant
submission of the case to the
jury.
The 27-year-old airman was
found guilty of manslaughter
and sentenced to two years in
prison by an Anne Arundel
County Circuit Court after his
wife died after she fell or was
pushed from the car in which
they were returning home to
Clinton from a St. Marys Coun-
ty tavern.
Had new trial been granted.
there was the possibility that
Allison, veteran of 35 bomber
missions as tail gunner, might
have been given a. first-degree
murder sentence.
The Appeals Court said. in
handing down the ruling:
THE jury found him guilty
not of murder, but guilty of man
slaughter.
Malice is. of course, an es-
sential ingredient of murder. but
even an involuntary killing may
constitute the crime of man
slaughter if it is due to a wanton
and reckless disregard of human
life"

This was part of DR.. Frank E.

he was never given any specific
duties in his $9,600-a-year post
in the Technical Cooperation
Administration.
Dr.. Fisher also charged before

the National Parking Associa-
ton convention was told today
Henry K. Evans, highway
transportation specialist with
the United States Chamber of
Commerce, spoke in panel
discussion on how to prevent
Government encroachment on
the parking industry.
The only bright spot he could
IND in the situation was that
today's problems would not be
as bad as tomorroWS.
Socialism Charged.
He branded municipal parking
operations as socialism and to-
talltarlanism. He urged parking
lot operators to make construc-
tive efforts in cooperation with
merchants. Private enterprise
he said. has proved itself the
most effective answer to their
problems.

said cities cannot go into the
parking business without subsi-
dies. Even though these are
disguised by such means as free
land. tax-free operations, or by
putting employees on the munich
pal payroll, the inevitable result.

taxes.
He warned that government

to take over all parking facilities

Can't Compete.
Garages and lots which are
now economically sound. accord
ing to Mr. Diamond, could not
compete with subsidized mu-
nicipal facilities.
He pointed out that the threat
OF Government intervention has
been club over the heads of
the private operators. 1t has
slowed down the process of
building enough private lots TO
handle the problem and has cut
down on the amount of risk
capital available for the parking
industry. he said.

than they are now. Even today,
he added. they have not aban-
doned the role of getting over a
full and fair picture of the
United States. They have, how
ever. taken on the additional Job
of promoting certain kinds of
materials with certain people in
order to advance certain ideas.
Policy Change Seen.
Another spokesman observed
on the same occasion that the
program had changed from the
full and fair" picture concept
to what he called a more forth
right position of presenting the
foreign policies of the United
States.
Finally. recently published
report of the Senate Foreign Re-
lations Committee takes note OF
the same switch Of emphasis.
After the outbreak of the
Korean conflict" the report
reads. "the emphasis of the pro-
gram shifted sharply from a full
and fair picture of this country
to one with more definite obiec-
tives. Programs were designed
specifically to deter further ag-
greSsion, to help maintain the
stability and cohesion of the
countries of the non- Communist
world and to inspire in them con-
fidence in their mutual capacity
to meet any eventualities."
Basis For Opposition.
From this background, it would
appear that this change of en-
phaSis in the program, rather
than the original law, is respon-
sible for what has happened
in the overseas libraries. 1t is
responsible for the narrowing
scope of the program and for the
confiscation of many books. 1t
is this policy trend which many
liberal observers, including sew
eral top United States diploma
tic representatives overseas, have
bitterly opposed.
Whether or not this trend is
justified in the light of world
developments since 1948 is GER
tainly matter which is open to
debate.
Whether or not it will continue
as the policy of the new admin
istration remains to be seen. AT
this point. the whole question o1
policy in the information pro-
gram is under review and coulC
conceivably return to a more
liberal tack. AS long as Presi-
dent Eisenhower and Secretary
Dulles hang on to their present
Interpretation of the law. how
ever. such a possibility must be
considered remote.
