Panama Canal
Group Hits Plans
For Yielding Il

Those who would information
alize the Panama Canal were
blasted verbally by those who
built it at the annual meeting
yesterday Of the Panama Canal
Society Of Washington.
Some 1870 society members
gathered at the Sheraton Carlton
Hotel to look back-as they have
every year for the past % years
at the work they did, at the
problems. the heartaches and the
final triumph they shared in
pushing the Big Ditch to COM
pletion a half century ago.
But for the first time this mon

love the center of a political
storm. Two ugly words are now

ton and decentralization.
In the background were recent
statements by two important fig
ures. Ernesto de la Guardia,
president Of Panama and Nor
man Cousins, editor of the Sat-
urday Review of Literature.
President de la Guardia was
quoted in London a month ago
as saying that his country in
tends to resume complete SOW
ereignty over the Panama Canal
and the Canal Zone" Mr.. Cous-
ins, earlier this month in Wash
ington declared that the United
States should offer to give up
control Of the Canal and place
it in the hands of the United
Nations. That America should
show the world it will practice
what 1t breaches in insisting on
the Observation-Disclosures of the
Suez Canal.
Attack Both Proposals
All the speakers at the meet
ing dashed out in quick order at
proponents Of both plans. And
the society itself. in no uncer-
tain terms, made known its views
in a resolution unanimously
passed which calls for United
States retention of the canal
lin perpetuity."
Lead-off speaker Maurice H.
IThatcher-last living member Of
the original Panama Canal Com
mission appointed by President
Theodore Roosevelt - analysed
the Suez and Panama situations.
He declared there is no analogy
between the two and that there
would be no legal justification OF
a seizure by Panama. However.
he said that despite the rising
tension" between the United
States and Panama, he did not
believe Panamanian officials Sc
riously consider such action.

ny OAV III DAME i
Somewhere in this country,
probably in the Washington area,
there is a do-nothing Commu-
mist agent. sent to the United
States to infiltrate American in
telligence services. but turned
soft.
The story came to light yes
terday in checking a routine"
registration at the Justice De-
partment.
The self-confessed agent, by
his own admission. got nowhere.
and finally detected to the West.
The Air Force says the agent
had little chance to spy and that
Air Force intelligence had an
eye on him, anyway.
The former agent is Waclaw
Gwizdak. alias Redaktor. alias
Robert Krab. An outline Of his
activities was contained in his
registration statement filed at
the Justice Department under a
new law requiring persons trained
in foreign espionage to register
with the Government.
Native Of Poland
According to the statement,
Gwizdak was born February "a,
1880. in Poland of naturalized
American citizens who registered
the child as United States citi-
zen at the American consulate
IN Warsaw.
He was trained in espionage
from the summer of 1852 until
December. 1858. in Warsaw by
officers Of the Polish Ministry Of
Public Security and by a Russian
Colonel Kuzniecov. according to
the registration.
At the end Of his training, Mr.
Gwizdak was given the specific
assignment Of getting to the
United States Ito organize es-
pionage :. also to get into the
American intelligence service as
a foreign agent"
He first went to East Germany
and then slipped illegally into
West Germany. BY November,
1854, the agent had made his
way to the United States.
His first duty was to organic
a net Of spies and wait for fur
ther informations and instruc-
tons from Warsaw" Before he
could settle down to some real
cloak-and-dagger work, however,
Gwizdak ran into an old Amer
lean custom-the draft.
Served in Air Force
On the verge Of being indicted,
the agent volunteered for serv-
ice in the Air Force. His sworn
statement says he served in
Geenland and in Newfoundland.
Asked about the case, the Air
Force issued a special statement
confirming that Airman Gwizdak
served from April 81, 1855 until
April 6. 1857. After basic train

Buoy
Still Mystery

LONDON. May 10 R.-British
and Dutch ships searched the
surface and floor Of the North
Sea today but failed to find
any solution to the mystery Of
the flashing buoy.
The ships, rushed to the loca-
ton where a smoking. flashing
marker was reported sighted
last night. radioed they had
found nothing. British and
American naval authorities said
none Of their submarines was
missing. The Soviet naval
attache in London said There
is no comment to make" when
asked If a Russian sub was in
trouble.
The search began last night
when the crew Of the Danish
freighter. Mary North. reported
sighting a conical buoy with a
flashing light that sent out
smoke signals. They said they
presumed q submarine was In
distress.
Capt. j. H. Hansen of the
Mary North said knocking was
heard from under the sea when
his vessel shut OF her engines
near the body.
The Dutch destroyer Utrecht
searched the area with an anti
submarine detector and located
a submerged object" but said
it was able to determine quickly
that 1t was not q submarine. The
Dutch vessel reported the object
appeared to be an abandoned oil
drum and stopped the search.
The British fisheries protection
Bramble went out later from
Scotland and radioed there wers
no traces of a sunken vessel Of
any kind. British search planes
flew back and forth over the area
but sighted nothing.

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
By WILLIAM MORRIS

am indebted TO Variety, the
newspaper Of show business,
for word on the latest teen-age
jargon from New Zealand. See
you tonight. Satellite," is the
greeting and the reply-"In the
void, Asteroid.'
II seems like only yesterday
and was. in fact, less than four
years ago-that ! began my
sub-career as chronicler of the
talk of the Nations teens. II
all began one night during the
Christmas holidays when
heard my teen-aged daughters
bidding farewell to their dates
with the lighthearted adieu: "A
cool yule and a frantic flrSt!"
A little prying indicated that
there was a substantial body OF
teen-age slang--and that no
one had tried TO collect such
vagrant phrases as clue you
In" up on cloud nine" and
float boats" into a glossary or
word book. Then and there
was born the idea which later
became The Real Gone Lexi-
con. the first comprehensive
collection of teen-talk.
But, as was inevitable. the
passing years have taken their
toll and the Lexicon has
I fallen behind the times. Real
George" which was the teen
ayers expression for the ulti-
mate in approval in 1858. has
given way to Real Elvis." So
the first edition has been al
lowed to go out Of print while
material is being collected for
a new edition.
As before, the accuracy and
comprehensiveness of the work
will depend largely on the con-
tributions from youthful read
ers OF this. column. So jot
down the favorite teen-talk ex-
preSsions of your neighbor-
hood and send them in to VIII
liam Morris. The Real Gone
Lexicon. in care Of this paper.
Everyone whose contributions
are used in the new edition will
receive an autographed copy
when 1t comes of the press
sometime next spring.
