JUN. Commission
 Rejects Control of Waters l2 Mi. Out

GENEVA, Switzerland, R-The LIN. International Law Commis- sion has laid the groundwork for a new worldwide code of fishing rights and territorial waters.
 New draft laws completed by the Remember commission at a session ended here yesterday re- ject claims to territorial waters extending more than 12 miles from any coast, but give a coastal state special rights in the control and conservation of fishing on the high seas beyond it's territor- ial limits.
 The drafts are to be submitted to JUN. member governments for their observations. The commiS- sion is to revise the drafts on the basis of these observations and to submit a final version to the JUN. General Assembly next year.
 The draft law on territorial waters declares that information al law does not justify the ex- tension of the territorial sea be- yond 12 miles" Some states are at present claiming territorial waters extending 100 miles or more from their coasts.

New Controversy SwirlS Around Dixon Yates Pact With Entry FBI Agents

WASHINGTON, LR - T h e Dixon Yates contract swirled into new controversy today over the Eisenhower administrations use of FBI agents to check on plans by the city of Memphis to build it's own power plant.
 Sen. Kefauver O-Tenn) called it shocking misuse of the FBI" and asked in a statement:
 "Is there no limit to which this politically minded administration will go in order to carry water for the private power interests?"
 The Justice Dept. said the FBI men were simply assigned to get facts helpful to a determination of whether the Dixon Yates con- tract should be cancelled, and were not making an investigation.
 Both sides in the controversy over the Dixon Yates contract claimed victory in the Senate's approval-with strings attached of 612 million dollars for power line to link the proposed private plant with the Tennessee Valley Authority system.
 The Senate passed yesterday the money bill containing funds for this line, but with language stating it cannot be used if the city of Memphis makes definite commitment" in 90 days to build it's own power plant as it has said it will do.

Nearly 50 Ships At Seattle Loading Cargo For Arctic

SEATTLE, R-The commander of the Military Sea Transporta- tion Service will come to Seattle tomorrow to inspect ships of the Defense Departments great Arc tic supply mission, now loading here.
 Vice Adm. Francis C. Dene- brink will fly in Thursday morn ing and leave that night after a full day visiting ships that will resupply United States military outposts of the Far North and carry materials for the Air Forces Distant Early Warning radar line.
 Details of the massive supply mission are secret, but close to 50 ships are maneuvering into Seattle piers or ranging elsewhere along the Pacific Coast as part of the Arctic fleet.
 Although not all the ships now are in Seattle, longshore gangs have been imported from other nearby ports to help handle the flood of equipment and supplies.
 In Seattle Tuesday, longshore- men interrupted their annual Bloody Thursday" work stop page to keep cargo flowing aboard Arctic ships and other military vessels in the harbor.
 Longshoremen of the Interna- tional Longshoremen's and Ware housemen's Union traditionally take off July 5 in memory of fel- lows lost in battles between Cali fornia police and union members on that date in 1884. Non-military ships up and down the Pacific Coast were idled this year, as in the past.

Washington State Prisoners Rebel. Hold 9 Hostages

WALLA WALLA, Wash, R- Nine Washington State Prison of ficers, seized at knifepoint in a sudden revolt against discipline, were held captive today as off cials and inmates argued over terms for their release.
 A recheck by penitentiary au- thorities disclosed that total of II men were seized yesterday morning when B of the big insti- tution's toughest convicts rioted violently in an attempt to force changes in parole and classified ton procedures and other prac- ticeS.
 The two employees overlooked in the first count were identified only as a guard and a supervis- ing cook who fell victims to the rioters when they seized the pri- son kitchen. Of the II, two were released shortly after the revolt started, but one was beaten se- verely.
 With the prisoners in virtual control of the big sprawling insti tuition near this northeastern Washington city, a series of con- ferences between state and prison officials and leaders of the revolt ended shortly before last mid night without any agreement to free the hostages.
 Meanwhile, Warden Lawrence Delmore IT,, began his own in vestigation.
 His only comment was: Some body goofed."
 Delmore's investigation center ed around the question of how the tough B" were able to get out of the segregation center and take their hostages. Delmore said that thus far he has been unable to determine exactly what had happened.
 Prison guards reinforced by state patrol and county and city officers armed with rifles and sub-machine guns patrolled the walls and the area surrounding the prison. A national guard com pany was on standby orders for possible duty.

Ike Promises Reds US. Will Negotiate In Good Faith

WASHINGTON, R- President Eisenhower said today the Rus sians can be sure the United States will negotiate in good faith at the Big Four meeting in Gen. eva.
 Eisenhower said too that no member of the United States gov ernment ever has said the Rus sians will be in a position of weakness.
 The Presidents remarks at a news conference today amounted to reply to Soviet Communist chief Nikita Khrushchev's Fourth of July denial that the Soviet Union will be negotiating from weakness in the talks. Khrush- chev said nothing good can come of the Geneva conference unless the West treats the Soviet Union as an equal.
 Eisenhower said he is going to the mid-July conference with a very hopeful attitude But he added quickly, that American hope will need a good deal of food to nourish it before the hope becomes expectation.
 The President said he does not expect disarmament to come up at Geneva except that it might be possible to agree on what would be the best channel for conducting disarmament talks. The whole question, he said, boils down to getting an armaments inspection system that both sides would accept.

You will gradually drop back
one rung at a time on the ladder.
Your goal should be one five
pound rung each month, not
more. Remember you gained the
weight fairly slowly and you
have had It for some time. Don't
get panicky or let your enthusi-
asm run away with you and go
on one of those silly diets. II you
do. you will join the unhappy
down-again, up-again club.
Instead, become a member of
the once-off. stay-off club. Then
you never need think of dieting.
You will have adjusted your

temporary fad, but as a perma-
