Beat Van DOren
At His Own Game

Laural A. Whipkey, of Hunting
ton, w. Va, holds the rare honor
of having bested Charles Van Doren
at his own game.
True, it wasn't on the "21' tele-
vision show where Van Doren has
run his winnings to S143,000, but
Mr.. Whipkey beat the Columbia
University professor just the same.
Actually, it was on a quiz show
staged as entertainment for the
base personnel at Sebring, Fla,
during World War II. Whipkey, Van
Doren, another serviceman and
three girls competed for 80 minutes
in a Observation-Disclosures game Mr.
Whipkey won all the prizes. They
included such items as shaving
cream, a tooth brush and after
shave lotion.
Mr.. Whipkey, now a sales repre-
sentative for Brown and Bigelow,
advertising specialties firm in Hunt
ington. and Mr.. Van Doren were
buddies as aviation' cadets. One
time they took a Tip to Miami
Beach on three~day pass They
hitched a ride there on a small
mail plane. Both leaned against
window to look at the ground be-
low. They must have leaned too
heavily because the section of the
plane containing the window fell
out. They were saved from falling
by grabbing the door post.
Their return trip was equally
hectic. They missed a ride to the
train depot by two minutes. When
they got there the train had pulled
out. Rushing to bus depot they
found that the bus had left seconds
before. They had to walk and hitch
hike 300 miles to get back to base
too tired to care what the SER
geant SAID
Whipkey is a son of Mrs. Georgia
Whipkey and the late Stanton d.
Whipkey, and formerly lived in the
Whipkcy home, corner of 18th and
Oak streets. in Oakland. He was a
former Oakland High student. His
aunt is Mrs. II. G.. Gortncr. south

HAVANA. July 2 (R.-Three
more bomb explosions ripped
through parts Of Havana last
night, causing extensive damage
but no injuries.
Two of the blasts occurred in
the center Of the city and the
third in a suburb. Two automo-
bile agencies, a furniture store
and a house were damaged.
A series Of blasts erupted in
Havana over the week end in a

In tense Santiago de Cuba, the

10000 persons poured into the

Attending funeral services for
Jose Pals, a young follower of
Rebel Chieftain Fidel Castro, the
demonstrators shouted, Long

Pals and two other Castro
supporters were killed Sunday

PARIS, July 2 R.-The
French government turned po-
litical pressure on Parliament
today for quick approval Of the
projected economic union of six
continental nations.
Premier Maurice Bourges-
Maunoury's cabinet prepared a
bill Tor ratification of the Euro
pean Common Market and Eura-
tom (atomic energy accords
and stood ready to make ap-
prevail an issue of confidence II
necessary.
Advance indications, however
were that this might not be
needed to push the two treaties
through Parliament.
With the showdown ballot ex-
pected late in the week, the
French political tide has moved
strongly toward the European
unlncatlon schemes.
Estimates were that the
Chamber Of Deputies would
adopt the treaties by q margin
Of so or more votes.
There are several reasons for
this. One Is the memory Of the
experience Of the European army

project out Of fear of West Ger

the Germans eventually rearmed

Col. Nasser said. But the
Americans insist that national

Col. Nasser said the question

Canal could not be isolated from

was linked with such matters as

LONDON. July 2 R.-The big
Western Allies are putting their
cards on the table today for q
nuclear arms truce" with So
Wet Russia.
American, British and French
delegates met this morning in an
air Of mounting urgency to chart
tactics for the crucial afternoon
session Of the U. N. disarmament
subcommittee.
Western delegates made known
beforehand that they intended tc
spell out for the Russians their
terms for hating the East-West
nuclear arms race.
The nub of the Western plan
is likely to be an American pro-
posal for q 10-month trial sus-
pension Of testing atomic and
hydrogen weapons-but under
conditions.

United States Delegate Harold
E. Stassen made plain that any
East-West standstill agreement
on testing and producing nucleal
arms must form part of wider
arrangements for cutting the
conventional arms and armies OF
the big powers.
British Foreign Secretary Sell

United States. Britain. France

Mr.. Lloyd drew up q formal
proposal which would define the
Vests terms for hating nucleal

Gently in.China

HONG KONG. July 2 (R. -
Red China's parliament began
today its "open discussion" OF
what's wrong with the Commu-
nist-ruled country. 1t seemed
evident none Of the 1852 depu-
ties intended to commit any
heresies.
One deputy criticized "defec-
tive planning and extravaganza"
in the boiler factory which en-
ploys him. A metallurgical engi-
neer scoffed at the metallurgy
ministry's plans for medium and
small plants.
But according to versions OF
their speeches broadcast by Peip-
ing radio neither overstepped the
limits of the current campaign
of criticism invited by leader Mao
Tze-tung, and neither attacked
the Communist party or its lead
ers.
Deputy Chu Shyn-yu balanced
his criticisms of his factory with
some sharp words against right
lists" who in the first Pushes OF
the "rectification" campaign
dared to question the Communist
Party leadership. Chu said he
thought the Notwithstanding
ministry placed too many orders
abroad for steam turbines, and
he said he thought his own fac
tory could have quadrupled its
output. He added:
"But these criticisms have
nothing in common with the
criticisms of rightists who seized
on shortcomings to paint q
gloomy picture of the country
the Communist Party and Social
ISM"
The engineer, Shao Hsiane
Hua from the Anshan iron and
steel plant. also skirted politics
He argued for construction OF
giant metallurgical projects
which the ministry currently
disapproves. He criticized plant
officials and waste. which is the
sort Of thing Macs restificatior
campaign aims at.

Luck of the Draw Gusts
Briscoe as Dublin Moyor

OO0A44Np ~ CAnAA4a July q VI Is
Robert Briscoe, deprived by the
luck Of the draw from serving
Dublin for another term as its
only Jewish Lord Mayor in his
tory, said today whats fair for
one man is fair for another"
Taking it all philoSophically,
Mr.. Briscoe wanted to stress
above all that he was not denied
a second term because Of his re-
Iligion.
II would be horrified If any of
my friends in America, whom I
met during my visit to the United
States earlier this year, were to
think that" he said.
Even my bitterest political
opponents-and I have some
powerful political enemies here
have never raised the racial
question against me at all in this
campaign"
The 62-year-old Mr.. Briscoe
polled the same number Of votes
as Alderman James Carroll in
the city council chamber last
night. According to tradition for
deciding ties, their names went
into a derby hat and Mr.. Car
rolls name was drawn out.
No Complaints
Mr.. Briscoe said Of the verdict
Of the draw:
THAT is the way we do things
here, and I have no complaints
at all about the name that came
out of the hat.
After all, how could I COM
plain? Twelve months ago I be-
came Lord Mayor in exactly the
same way. The voting was tied,
and on that occasion had the
luck of the draw. What's fair
for one man is fair for another"
Sitting in a Hotel here, the de.
feated Lord Mayor said in an
interview: 1T was political. If
the choice had been left to the
citizens Of Dublin I am sure the
result would have been different.
They formed q coalition and
put UP a candidate against me
because what success I have had
as Lord Mayor has brought too
many kudos to my party"
Mr.. Briscoe. a fervent Irish
patriot, is one of the founding
members of the Fianna Fail
Party led by canon de Valera,
who earlier this year swept back
into power as Ireland's Prime
Minister. Mr.. Carroll is an in
dependent.
Mr.. Briscoe's defeat does not
mean the end of his public work.
Il am not going out Of office
to lead a life of leisure" he said.
Il am going to be busy man.
I am still going to serve my fell
low citizens and my great leader,
De Valera, to the best of my
ability.
"And I am going to concen-
trate on developing the posi-
bilities that I saw opening up
during my term as Lord Mayor"
Mr.. Briscoe explained that
high up among these possible
tiles was the strengthening of
h-American relations which
led him to make his tour of the
United States while he was Lord
Mayor.
THAT was one Of the things
that persuaded me to go for a
second term" he said. II thought
I might carry on with what I had
started. But I can still help to
further this cause
Plans New U. s. Visit
Mr.. Briscoe plans a repeat visit
to the United States "some time
within the next IL months"
MY last tour was the high.
light Of my year of Office" he
said. II was glad that q Jew
could 60 to the United States to
represent the Catholic city Of
Dublin. I showed them that we
believe in democracy over here" "
At the new mayors request,
the council gave Mr.. Briscoe q
rising vote of thanks for the
good will he won for Ireland
during his American tour.
