Reds turn down
 puekuge deal or,
 D. N. memberships

GENEVA, t4) Russia has Iflatly refused a 4 to 13 pack age deal on JUN memberships, western officials reported to- day.
 V. M. Molotov is insisting that Outer Mongolia .be includ- ed in communist countries to be admitted to the world or ganization, making it a deal of five Soviet satellites for IS western sponsored nations IS in all, it was reported.
 This would bring the U. MS roll to 78 members.
 The Soviet position was re- ported to have been made clear in a two-hour talk yes- terday between Molotov and U. s. secretary Dulles.
 The western powers were reported divided on these lines
 1. The United States, Dulles told Molotov, is prepared to abstain from voting against the admittance of four com munist sta. es - Romania, Hun gary, Bulgaria and Albania. At first he strongly objected to including Albania, but fin ally gave way on that point. Speaking of Outer Mongolia, however. one American infor- mant said 'fHow can they ex- ped its to accept as qualified for U. N. membership a coun- try which doesn't even seem \ ito have an ambassador in Mos cow?"
 2. Britain is willing to ac- Icept all five of the Soviet candidates.
 3. France considers the whole deal should be put on l The shelf as long as the Al lgerian item is a-ill on the U. IN. general assembly's agenda. IShe walked out of the assem- bly when the item was voted ! onto the agenda.
 An announcement by Henry Cabot Lodge Jr, chief U. S. I delegate to the U. IN. in New York yesterday That the Uni
 ted States had dropped its op- position to Alabania, Hungary Romania and Bulgaria came a. bout 12 hours after Dulles com i pleted his talk with Molotov
 Lodge said the United States would also abstain on Outer
 Mongolia's application, but
 that he doubted that that cour
 try would get The necessary
 seven votes on the security
 council anyway.
 l He acted more quickly than lU. s. officials here expected he
 would apparently to get the
 American position on the re-
 cord before The Russians could lgrab the play.

23 year old father of TWO signs confession today

SS W BH h G &9 S@B ~ w# ~H DENVER (H) A 23 year old Denver man signed a wriaten confession today he placed a dynamite bomb on a United Air Lines plane that exploded and carried his mother and 43 other persons to death Nov. l.
 U. IS. Dist. Atty. Donald F.. Kelley told newsmen John Gill bert Graham admitted placing the explosives on the plane that burst into pieces in the air near Longmont n minutes after 1t took off from the Denver air port.
 The FBI accused Graham of placing aboard the plane "a mum Der of sticks of dynamite at tached to "a battery with a tim ing mechanism in the form of a bomb" Grahan's arrest was announced earlier today by the FHBI.
 Kelley Told reporters he in tends to recommend state pro- secution of Graham on a mur- der charge because lat the moment it doesn't look like the federal penalty is sufficient to jus fly prosecution.
 The FBI said Graham, mar ried and the father of two child ren, took out an air flight in surance policy flor $37 300 on his mother, Mrs. Daisy King, at the Denver airport a short time before she boarded the ill- fated plane on her way 10 An chorage to visit a daughter, Mrs. Helen Hablutzel.
 But it was learned the pol icy was not signed by Mrs. King and apparently was not valid.
 A reporter asked Kelley if this twas one-man job or were others involved" Kelley ran1ind he had mo comment at this time"
 Graham, a former construc- tion worker, had been helping his mother run drive-in res taurant. He had been paying for several years on $4,2O0 in checks he had forged in 1851.
 He waived preliminary hear ing when he was arraigned be- fore U. $. commissioner Harold s. Oakes. Bond was set at S1OO- GOO. Graham was unable to provide the bond and was taken to the Denver county jail. Graham had worked in Spen ard, Alaska. Details of the sabotaging of the plane were withheld by the FBI. Graham in his construc- tion work had become fanil1ar with the handling of dynamite. An authoritative source sand Graham would be eligible for one-fourth of his mothers es- timated $15O,OOO estate in the event of her death.
 Civil Aeronautics Board in
 vestigators have said the plane exploded in a '1bomb-like lblas.
 attributed to foreign" matter aboard the craft.
 Kelley said he would confer l latter today with Marc Smith oi Greeley, Colo, state district at torney for the area including l the crash scene, and Bert Keaf l ling, Denever district attorney

RETURN OF THE SWALLOW

RUSSELLVILLE, KY. Up 4
It wasn't funny then, but Sam
Hundley laughs now about losing
his lower plate and coughing it up
five weeks later.
He swallowed the false teeth
when he suffered a stroke.
Hundley's difficulty in eating and
drinking was blamed on the stroke
until a coughing speel and a
pounding OF the back by his wife
brought them up.
DR.. c. A. Wood said the chomp-
ers apparently had lodged in his
esophagus.
