Stevenson Agrees With Hartman on Nomination Plans
By JACK BELL

CHICAGO, R-Adlai E. Stew enson and Gov. Averell Hartman of New York apparently have reached an informal working agreement aimed at bringing one of them the 1856 Democratic presidential nomination.
 Associates confirmed that the former Illinois governor, who was beaten by President Eisenhower in 1852, has come to an under standing with Hartman under which Stevenson will get first crack at next years party prize.
 These associates said, however, that if it becomes apparent at any point in the next 12 months that Stevenson is unlikely to make the grade, he could be expected to attempt to shift his strength quickly to Hartman.
 Together, Stevenson and Harri man represent the two potentially most powerful voting blocs in next summers convention. Start ing with his Illinois home base vote of SO, Stevenson has wide support within the party ranks. There is some doubt, however, that he could muster sufficient votes to win the nomination with out New York's 94 in the early balloting.

Hurricane Connie Races North Along Seaboard With 75-MPH. Winds

WASHINGTON, R-Hurricane Connie, losing some of it's punch but still menace, raced north ward along the North Carolina coast today with 75-mile winds and destructive, pounding high tides.

Nike Missile To Be Installed in Alaska In Strategic Areas

Announcement that Nike in stallations will be built in Alaska was made by US. officials yes terday.
 Nike installations are deployed throughout the United States as a defense for industrial, highly pop ulated and strategic areas, and have been integrated into the Army-Air Force Defense Team.
 In Alaska, bases for Nike, the Army's new antiaircraft weapon, a guided missile with a speed faster than sound, will protect important defense installations in the key areas of Anchorage and Fairbanks.
 Essentially, the Nike system consists of two parts: an expend- able missile and ground-based launching and control equipment.
 Named after the goddess of vic tory of Greek mythology, the Nike (rhymes with high key) is approximately 20 feet long and about one foot in diameter, with two sets of fins. The missile and booster together weigh slightly more than one ton.
 A Nike installation constitutes no danger to the surrounding area nor to personnel of the unit itself. The war-head is constructed to explode only in flight It has a self-destructive feature so that it will not crash and explode.
 Site determination is based on tactical and technical suitability, the least possible disruption of the civilian community, and economy to the government

Timmy Walsh, Aged 4, Found Safe Five Miles From Snake River Camp
 After IS Hours Of All-Out Search

Little Timmy Walsh, four-year- old son of MT. and Mrs. James Walsh, who disappeared at about dinner time last night, was lo- cated at noon today about five miles from where he was last seen.
 The Walsh family had driven to the Henry Ullrich camp, about 913 miles out the Snake River Road for a picnic supper last evening, it is reported, and Timmy was last seen at about five o'clock throwing rocks in a gully near the camp. When the family and friends in the party failed to locate him other cars driving up the Snake River Road were stopped and alerted and everyone in the area joined in the search.
 With the realization that 1t would get dark by 10 o'clock, the whole community was, alerted by AFRS and by 9 o'clock over 50 cars had driven out to the scene and more than 200 persons were searching the tundra, river, and willows Some of the searchers forded the icy Snake River and searched as far as three miles from the camp. The river is very swift and waist deep in spots. The search continued until darkness fell.
 After dark, portable electric generators and searchlights were rushed from town by the Alaska Communications System and the Alaska National Guard and the search continued.
 At daybreak, a cordon of pos sibly 100 men formed a line at arm's-length intervals and cover ed every foot of the area for a mile around the camp without finding a trace of the small tow headed youngster.
 Timmy is one of seven Walsh children, having a brother and five sisters. '
 As soon as it was light enough to see to fly the Civil Air Pat rol started searching the area from the air in the Covenant Church plane piloted by Rev. Don Bruckner with Fred Dingledie as observer. Other plane pilots joining in the search included Howard Mays, Martin Olsen, Dr. M. Kennedy and Nancy Lee Baker.
 Bloodhounds were brought from Anchorage by Ron Thiel and arrived by Alaska Airline's morning flight and joined Tn the hunt.
 Volunteers from town, who lacked transportation, were taken out by bus to aid in the search and all branches of the military and local authorities participated
 At about noon today, Martin Olsen, bush pilot for Howard Mays, accompanied by John Mo Nees, spotted the child about five miles from the Ullrich camp, up in the mountains, in gen. orally northeasterly direction. The area had been checked by plane earlier and a big bear had been spotted in the vicinity
