WASHINGTON N - Seemingly
simple little plumbing trouble-the
wrong kind of pipe-probably viii

titus immobilized until early next
year.
The Navy said yesterday that
somehow-it is investigating to
find who was responsible-sections
of ordinary welded piping were in
stalled in a steam line where spe-
cifications called for seamless steel
tubing.
Now workmen and inspectors
are following laboriously along the
hundreds of feet of 11s-inch steam
line of the turbine system, cutting
out samples and analyzing them
to find which is the correct pine
and which the wrong kind.

Indicted On
Perjury Counts
WASHTNCTON

WASHINGTON AOwen Latti-
more, controversial Far Eastern
specialist, was indicted today on
charges of falsely denying he had
been q follower of the Communist
line" and a promoter of Com
munist interesty."
The new two-count perjury In
dictment was returned by 4 federal
grand jury before US. District
Judge Edward A. Tamm. In effect
it substitutes for parts of an ear
lier indictment which had been
thrown out by the courts.
us. Atty. Leo A. Rover told re-
porters he win move to have the
new indictment consolidated with
the five remaining counts Of the
older indictment returned against
baltimore December 1852.
Two of the seven counts of the
original indictment were dismissed
by the courts.
One of the dismissed counts
the key one-alleged baltimore
falsely denied before the Senate
Internal Security subcommittee
that he had been a Communist
sympathizer or promoter of Red
causes.
The courts held the word sym
pathizer" was too vague. The new
indictment nowhere uses the word
"sympathizer.'
The new allegation Is that Latti-
more knowingly and Intentionally
followed the Communist line in
public and private statements, in
his conversations, and in his wide
ly disseminated writings, both in
the United States and other parts
of the world"
The indictment further charges
that his statements, conversations,
correspondence and writing "con-
tain several hundred instances de-
noting that the defendant was q
follower of the Communist line I"
baltimore, a resident of Balti-
more, has been called a Commu-
mist agent by Sen. Mccarthy (R-
Wis., and by the Internal Security
subcommittee formerly headed by
Sen. McCarran (D-Nev).
He has denied the accusation
throughout four years Of commit
tee room and courtroom argument.
An earlier federal grand jury in
dicted him in December 1852 on
seven counts of perjury growing
out of his IL days of testimony be-
fore McCarran's subcommittee
earlier this year.

Johns, Sowder
ConferOn
Polio Outbreak

TALLAHASSEE R-Acting Gov
Johns scheduled a conference for
3 pm. today with State Health
Officer Wilson Sowder to discuss
the polio outbreak in Tallahassee
which now numbers 227 cases.
Leon County Health officer Joe
Bistowich will sit in on the meet
ing.
Johns yesterday asked the us.
Public Health Service for immedi-
ate help in coping with the out
break.
DR.. Sowder said the chief need
from the federal health service
was "for advice rather than arms
and legs"
He said he did not believe the
polio situation here was "any
worse, but it is no better" than
when he was in Tallahassee last
week.
Normally, the polio virus does
not thrive in cold weather, DR..
Sowder said, and a break in
in spread of the disease could be
expected with the coming of fall.
"But we do not have enough
cold weather in Florida to make
the change in seasons an effective
aid in fighting the disease" he
said.
DR.. Sowder said he had asked
the Board of Health's regional en-
gineer, who covers all of West
Florida, to drop his other work
temporarily and concentrate on a
check to try to determine whether
there is any sanitation problem
in Tallahassee that could be re-
sponsible.
Informed by reporters that Johns
had said he was ready to ask the
Cabinet Budget Commission for re-
lease of emergency funds to fight
the disease, DR.. Sowder said he
could not give an offhand estimate
how much would be needed but he
did not think a substantial sum
would be necessary"
DR.. Sowder met in the gover-
nor's office with a delegation from
Carrabelle in Franklin County to
discuss the polio situation there.
An infant died Monday night at
Carrabelle and an adult died last
night of what doctors said might
have been polio.

Joe Departs, Marilyn Weeps, And
Movie Can't Go On As Scheduled

HOLLYWOOD 1-It's back 10
the Seven Year Itch" today for
Marilyn Monroe with no Joe Di-
Maggie to scratch her back.
And there is no joy in Fisher
mans Wharf today even though
the mighty DiMaggio has struck
out for there.
Marilyn slept alone last night
in the 81, ,000-a-month Beverly Hills
home that she and Joe rented.
She planned to report for work
on her picture at 9 am.
DiMaggio left her yesterday in
about as final a departure as Hol-
lyw0od ever has seen. He came
out of the house with his bags
packed and a grim smile on his
face.
Marilyn, for the first time, lost
her composure before the press
yesterday and had nothing to say.
She sobbed almost to the point of
collapse. Some cynics called them
phony tears but Marilyn would be
the first to admit that she isn't a
good enough actress to play the
scene the way it was played.
Her departure from the house
was billed as a return to work
but actually it never was intended
to be. She wasn't in the mood to
play comedy and after a five-min-
ute drive to lawyer Jerry Giesler's
office, she returned home.
Joe said as he drove off for San
Francisco in his Cadillac:
"San Francisco always has been
my home"
