Radford Says U.s.
Firm Policy in Far

DETROIT, R-Adm. Arthur
Radford, chairman of the joint

troverSial massive retaliation"
policy announced by Secretary of
State Dulles "still stand"
Radford's statement, in speech
before the Economic Club of De-

ing to talk within the United
States about the Indochina and
Quemoy problems and (2) warn
ing the Communists anew while
still keeping them guessing.
Radford said that after the Kor-
can War the United States made
two basic military decisions-to
base defense on a long pull"
program and ''to maintain "a great
capacity to retaliate by means
and at places of our own choos-
ing"
"The second decision about "a
great capacity" he said, "signi-
fled that in our defense planning
we would regard it as important
to have a capacity to retaliate at
the proper place. by whatever
military means are best suited to
the situation at the time. If con-
fronted with hostile aggression,
we do not intend to let the enemy
pick only those battle conditions
which are best suited to him.

Indians and Yanks
Series Expected
To Net Record SIS

NEW YORK, R-The New York
Yankees will be missing from the
scene for the first time in six
years as the Cleveland Indians
and New York Giants come to
grips Wednesday in what is al
most certain to be the richest of
all 81 World Series.
With two huge arenas-C1eve-
lands Municipal Stadium seat
ing $4,000 and New York's polo
grounds seating 52,000-this could
produce a record pool for the
players with each winning share
totalling $4,000 and each losing
share about $4,000. The players
share in the receipts of the first
four games.
Should the series GO the full
distance of seven gameS-and
many experts believe it villa
new attendance mark is certain to
be set. The first two games in the
best-of-seven will be played at
the Polo Grounds, Wednesday
and Thursday. All games will be-
gin at 100 pm. EST.
Then, with no interruption for
travel, the battle-ground will
shift to Cleveland where the third,
fourth and fifth games will be
played on Friday, Saturday and
Sunday. Should the issue still be
undecided, the scene will shift
back to New York for the sixth

Great Northern Ry.

Between Seattle, Alaska

SEATTLE, R-Great Northern
Railway is investigating the pos
sibility of establishing a combined
highway and piggy-back service
between Seattle and Alaska
points, C. f. Finley, vice presi-
dent of traffic for Great Northern,
said in Seattle Saturday.
Finley said Great Northern is
studying the Pacific Great Eastern
Railways piggy-back service be-
tween Vancouver, BIC. and Prince
George. Vancouver truck opera
tors are now availing themselves
of this service between Vancouver
and the end of rail at Prince
George. Trailers travel on flatcar
to Prince George and thence by
highway to Dawson Creek, Be,
and Whitehorse, VT. over the
John Hart Highway and the AL
aska military highway.
If Great Northern or any other
American line serving Vancouver
should join in this service, it
would be possible to load trailers
at Seattle on flatcars for Prince

WASHINGTON, R-The United
States Saturday formally deman-
ded Russia pay $1,62O,295.O1 dam
ages for shooting down an Air
Force B-29 plane off Hokkaido,
Japan on Oct. 7. 1852, or else
agree to submit the dispute over
the incident to the world court.
The fate of its eight creWmen
is still unknown.
A 24-page note presented to the
Foreign Office at Moscow by Am
bassador Charles E. Bohlen as
serted that the SoViets were COM
pletely responsible for destroying
the unarmed bomber, "Sunbonnet
King"
Russia was also accused of
withholding information about
the fate of the eight creWmen.
The Americans contend that a
Soviet boat was seen in the vicin-
ity of the crash in time to pick up
survivors.
Still another major point made
by the note was to- deny Soviet
claims to the Habomai Islands,
which are within sight of the east
coast of Hokkaido, the northern
most main island of Japan. The
attack occurred near the Habo-
mais.
The Soviets, claiming possess
sion of the island by right of war
tins Yalta agreement, alleged
that the American plane has VIC
lated Russian territory Russia
also contended that the bomber
had opened fire on Soviet fighter
aircraft-Which the United States
has flatly denied.
under the Yalta agreement, the
SoViets were given control of the
Kurile Islands, stretching north
eastward of Japan. But the Jap
aneSe contend that the HabomaiS
do not fall under the Kuriles and
therefore should be restored to

Truman Feted
At Belated
Birthday Party
BY TOM BRADSHAW

PHILADELPHIA R-The slen-
der, little man watched the movie
through his Sllver-framed glasses,
seemingly unaware that hundreds
OF eyes in the room were glued
on his face rather than the screen.
1t was a belated birthday party
for former President Harry S. Tru-
mana dinner also arranged to
raise money for his favorite prof.
ect, the erection of a library at
independence, Mo-, to house the
records of his eight years in the
White House.
The birthday celebration yeSter-
day was months late because an
operation had forced postpone
ment. But the guest of honor
showed few, if any, signs of ill
health.
Movie Shown
A motion picture of the high
lights of his presidential career
was shown the dinner guests. II
showed Truman being sworn in as
President after the death of Frank
liz D. Roosevelt. Then the scene
shifted to a closeup of Truman an
nOunclng that a terrible new weap-
on had been used on the Japanese
the atom bomb. The man at the
head table seemed to watch this
scene with greater intensity than
ever.
The screen next showed Tru-
man, Winston Churchill and Josef
Stain at Yalta-one of the his
toric conferences of the Truman
administration.
Finally, there was a shot of
Truman with some of his military
leaders, including Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower.
Applause For Ike
There was ripple of applause,
but those who started it seemed
to realize quickly they were there
to honor another President. The
clapplng faded and died.
The movie ended, the ballroom
lights were turned back on and,
after an introduction, the former
President arose to speak briefly
of his library project, what it
would mean to students, historians
and the public.
But 1t was an anti-climaX. A
man making a speech is a prac-
tlced spectacle.
The man who had sat there in
the partially darkened ballroom
watching his day of glory unfold
on the screen had been going
through a scene unrehearsed and
unaware it was being witnessed.

Police Work
Out Theory
On Staying
BY RAY STEPHENS


BRINKLEY, Ark. R-The slayer
of Mrs. Sue Fuller, young mother
of two children, may have been
someone familiar with the habits
of her husband.
Police Chief Frank Henderson
SAID today he is working on a
theory that the man who killed the
prominent 25-year-old brunette
may have known that her husband
would be away from home during
the predaWn hours Sunday.
Mrs. Fuller was beaten to death
with a stick of stove wood at her
home early Sunday morning.
Henderson said her husband Mil
ton, 81, long had made custom
of arising early and driving to d
downtown hotel coffee shop for
coffee and the morning newspap-
erS.
Longtime Custom
Fuller, an auto dealer, told police
he made his usual trip to the cof-
fee shop about 4:30 am. Sunday.
He said he returned home after
driving by his place of business
and then stopping by the police
station for a chat with officers on
night duty,
After reading the newspapers, he
said he fell asleep on a couch in
the living room. He said he was
awakened by a noise in his wife'S
bedroom and ran in to find her
dying on the floor.
Meanwhile, officers pushed their
search for a former convict, now
free on parole from a federal pen
ltentiary, who has served time in
Illinois for the murder of a woman.
Man Disappears
When police went to the mans
home in nearby Devalls Bluff yes
terday afternoon, he had disap.
peared.
Five men and two women are
being held for questioning in the
case.
Police believe Mrs. Fuller was
killed by barefooted prow!er
surprised in the act Of stealing her
purse.
A footprint made by barefooted
man was found in the backyard of
the Fuller home, and two sets of
similar prints were found in the
kitchen of the house.
Two sheriff'S deputies found q
black, low.cut shoe yesterday in an
alley two blocks from the Fuller
home, and Henderson said there IS
possibility the shoe was lost by
the fleeing killer. .
