LA. Businessman Named To Succeed Strauss to A.E.C.

WASHINGTON, R - John A. McCone, Los Angeles business man, was nominated by President Eisenhower today to succeed Lewis l.. Strauss as a member of the Atomic Energy Commission.
 The nomination is subject to Senate confirmation.
 The White House listed McCone as a Republican. He represen- ted Eisenhower in Rome last year in connection with observance of Pope Plus KITS. installation an niversary and birthday.
 On the question of who is to become chairman of the AEC, Mrs. Anne Wheaton, associate Presidential press secretary, said that Eisenhower will not desig- nate a new chairman until the Senate has acted on the McCone nomination.
 McCone, 56, is an engineer as well as having widespread busi- ness interests. He was De fense Department official in the administration of former Presi- dent Truman, serving as deputy to the Secretary of Defense in 1948 and as Under Secretary of the Air Force in 1950-51.
 A personal friend of Presi- dent Eisenhower, McCone has been a frequent visitor to the White House.
 Strauss is leaving the AEC June 30 when his current five year term expires. His decision to step down as chairman and an AEC member was announced by the White House yesterday.
 Strauss gave no specific reason for his decision. But he said in a letter to President Eisenhower that he believed circumstances beyond the control of either of us make a change in the chairman ship of the commission advis- able."

Two 10-Year-Olds Tie Younger Boy To Railroad Tracks

NORWALK, Calf, R - Two 10-year-old boys admitted tying a younger boy to railroad tracks, Sheriff's deputies said today.
 "We wanted to frighten him, " one of the boys said.
 Michael Evans, 2, was rescued Monday by his father, Frank, just before a train reached the spot where he was found with his head toward the tracks.
 The father had been told of his sons plight by two of Mich ael's playmates.
 Evans said he grabbed one of the boys who had tied his son but let him go as the train ap- preached. Michael said the boys earlier had tried to hang him to telephone pole.
 Officers located the two To- year-olds by systematically check ing schools. Evans and his son identified them.
 The boys were released to their parents pending action by ju- venile court. Their names were not revealed.

Decline In Idle Workers Reported
 By Govt. In May

WASHINGTON, lR - The gov- ernment reported today an inn proved employment situation in May. There was substantial rise among those employed and a de- cline in the number of idle workers.
 A joint report by the Commerce and Labor Departments put May employment at 64,061, ,000, up 1,154,O00 from April.
 Unemployment declined by 216,OO0 to 4,904, ,000-lowest idle figure since January.
 The job gain was attributed to seasonal expansion in agriculture and service employment plus a bigger than usual gain in con- struction. The report said a sharp pickup in outdoor work represented in part recovery from delay caused by especially bad weather earlier in the year.
 The employment rise in May was much greater than the drop in unemployment primarily be- cause of those joining the farm labor force were housewives and students who had been outside the labor force in April.
 The report said sizable re- ductions in unemployment among previously jobless workers were partially offset by an increasing number of students seeking sum- mer jobs. This student influx into the labor force is expected to push the unemployment total well over the five million mark in June or July.

Gen. de Gaulle Tells Algerian Insurgents
 Revolution Must End

GRAN, Algeria R - Premier Charles de Gaulle told repre- sentatives of all-Algeria Public Safety Committee today it's in- surgent authority must come to an end. He said he will run Algeria.
 He named Gen. Raoul Salan, military commander of the Junta, as his own delegate gen. eral in Algiers-a new post.
 But de Gaulle will personally assume control of Algerian af- fairs, acting as his own cabinet minister for the strife-torn ter ritory.
 He told representatives of the Algerian and the local safety committee, which led the drive to bring him to power: "You must not trespass or substitute yourselves for legal authority Your task is to work for a com plete integration of souls"
 In personal approach to the safety committee members, de Gaulle said: You have no more revolutions to make. One does not make a revolution every day. Otherwise you could des- troy what you have built"
 While he was inside the build ing a group of Moslem youths sped by the crowds outside and shouted:
 ''Frenchmen to the gallows."

WalkOut Closes Chrysler Corp. Plant In Detroit

DETROIT, lR IT. Chrysler Corp. today shut down assembly oper- ations at its Plymouth body and assembly plants in Detroit. This was the first such action by any of the car makers during oper- ations without contracts.
 The company said 2,700 em- ployees were sent home after 100 members of the United Auto Workers union walked off the job in the trim department of the Plymouth body plant.
 The JAW, which has instructed all members to work as usual during a no-contract period, had no immediate comment.
 Chrysler said two employees who served as union stewards un- der the old contract refused tc work at assigned jobs and pro- voked a walkout.
 Chrysler vice president John D. Leary, who has directed fruit less contract negotiations with the JAW, said: "This is a clear case of the union needlessly throwing it's own members out of work and at time when thousands ot other members of the JAW are unemployed"
 The shutdown came as JAW president Walter P. Reuther sought to prevent incidents in- volving workers at General Motors and Chrysler yesterday from disrupting the uneasy truce in auto industry contract nego- tiations.

Russia Must Give Satellites More Freedom Or Resort To Oppression

principle but Eisenhower came out Wednesday for handling it in separate legislation rather than the foreign aid bill.
 'SThe Soviet rulers must either grant more independence, and thus hberate forces which op- pose the existing regimes, or else they must revert to the Stalin- ist tactics of oppression with in- creased likelihood of violent re- volt" Dulles said.
 He. said Russia's "vacillating policy" illustrates the dilemma.
 He described as encouraging Russia's agreement to join in scientific studies of policing an atomic test suspension and also Soviet acceptance of the U. s. proposal to confer on neutraliz- ing the Antarctic.
 But Dulles added that the cold war cannot be ended ''by form ula of words so long as the basic creed of international Communism requires world rule"

Senate Statehood Opponent Will
 Offer Commonwealth Status In Stead

WASHINGTON, LR I'll One of the leaders of the 1854 Senate fight against statehood for Alas ka and Hawaii said today he hasn't changed his mind.
 Sen. Mike Monroney O-Okla said he plans to renew his sug- gestion during Senate debate on the House-passed bill that the northern territory be given com monwealth status similar to that of Puerto Rico.
 He added, however, that he ex- poets the Senate to reject the proposal as it did four vars ago.
 Monroney said in an interview commonwealth status would give Alaskans all benefits of state hood except voting representa- tion in the House and Senate. To offset the lack of voting rep resentation, he would add an ex- emption from federal taxation, also similar to that of Puerto Rico.
 The Oklahoman said he felt

P0laris Missile Breaks Up In Tough Test

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla, @- A Navy Polaris experimental missile streaked skyward today on what was described as its toughest test yet but it broke apart after a short flight.
 The slim rocket roared straight up for some 20 seconds. At least one section plummeted in to the ocean where crash boats were standing by.
 The Navy said the mission was ito test certain components of the Navy Polaris missile sys- tenn under more difficult con- ditions than on previous launch ings."
 Officials explained later that the rocket motor exhausted it's fuel in a short time and the Polaris began to tumble end over end high in the sky.
 The breakup was due to aero dynamic forces pressing against the missile as it fell.

one of Alaska's principal handi- caps was the lack of investment capital to spur development of it's resources. An exemption from federal taxation, effective for possibly 10 years, could provide the necessary attraction to needed capital, he said.
 Monroney said the common wealth proposal has the support of only a few Alaskans but at tributed this to a general lack of information concerning it.
 Whether his proposed amend ment is adopted or not, Monroney said he doesn't expect Alaska's bid for statehood to be success ful this year.
 Although he left the door open for the Senate approval of the Alaska bill, he said he did not believe there would be time to iron out possible differences be- tween the House and Senate bills before Congress adjourns.

of the earth.

There has been a tremendous
movement in the building and i'm
provement of rural churches since
World War III. 1t is noteworthy
circumstance. 1t is worthy of no.
tice that those communities who
take pride and who are generous
toward their churches are usually
the communities that do most of
everything else that is progressive.
AS a closing note for this column
at Christmastime, / will quote here
the nine reasons of the late Presi-
dent Theodore Roosevelt for going
to church:
First: In this actual world, a
churchless community, place
where men have abandoned or
scoffed at or ignored their religi-
Gus needs, is a community on the
rapid down grade.
Second: Church work and church
attendance means the cultivation
of the habit of feeling some re-
sponsibility for others.
Third: There are enough holt
days for most of us. Sundays diff
fer from other holidays in the fact
that there are 81 of them every
year Therefore on Sundays go
to church.
Yes. / know all the ex-
cuses. I know that one can worship
the creator in a grove of trees,
or by a running brook, or in a
mans house just as well as in a
church. But l also know as mat
ter of cold fact the average man
does not thus worship.
Fifth: He may not hear a good
sermon at church. He will hear a
sermon by a good man, who, with
his good wife, is engaged all the
week in making hard lives a little
easier.
Sixth: He will listen to and
take part in reading some beauti-
full passages from the Bible, and
if he is not familiar with the
Bible, he has suffered a loss.
Seventh: He will take part in
singing some good hymns.
~ s...n. Ale -, m e. nd nod or
speak to good, quiet neighbors. He
will come away feeling a little
more charitable toward all the
world, even toward those Excess
sively foolish young men who re-
gard church going as a soft per-
Torrance.
Ninth: I advocate a mans join
ing in church work for the sake
of showing his faith by his works.
