that their bed had many

Communist China has now

establish what Mr.. Dulles
has called a ''modus vivendi"

But there is danger here. as
well as hope. Mr.. Eisenhower
and Mr.. Dulles have stated
plainly that no negotiations
with Red China can result in
decisions or arrangements
opposed by Chang Kai-shek.
That is simple justice and
loyalty To, our firm ally, the
Nationalist government of the
Republic Of China.
The tendency toward APP
peasement is still present in
some Of our highest policy

Presidents rejection of APP

will be pressures designed in

be very necessary to guard
against them at the outset Of

CAIRO. Sept. 10 ,tAP).-The
deputy premier in the new re-

has been reported removed
from his post of deputy COM

Baghdad Radio reported the

Abdel Karin Kassem, premier
and defense minister, the semi
ofhcial Middle East News Agen-
cy said last night.
Neither a reason for Brig.
Arif's loss Of the military post
nor a successor was reported.
Brig. Arif had been consid-
cred by Western observers as
the No. 2 man in the regime
that overthrow the government
of the late King Faisal II. His
speeches have indicated he was
a strong supporter of President
Nasser in contrast to Brig.

Whether the reported change

Immediately clear. Direct re-
ports from that censored cap
ital were lacking.
There has been speculation
abroad, however, that Brig.
Kassem and Brig. Arif might
eventually fall out. Brig.
Kassem tried to quiet Iraq
down after the July IA coup
but Brig. Arif continued to
make speeches indicating he
was seeking to build popular
support among the masses.

Super Enqiine
By the Associated Press

An Army plan for construct
ing a super booster rocket en-
CINE is arousing speculation
that the Pentagon may be con-
templating an attempt to put q
manned satellite in orbit.
The speculation was spanked
yesterday with q Defense De-
partment announcement Of q
50 million Army contract award
for a mammoth booster with an
aim of placing very large pay
loads into orbit"
The announcement, however,
gave no further indication OF
the type Of satellite being
planned for launching by the
new booster.
The booster, a missile term
for the first stage of a multi
stage rocket, will have a thrust
of is million pounds. This is
about eight times more power
full than any existing propulsion
unit in Americas rocket ar
senal.
The contract for the super
booster was awarded to North
American Aviation'S Rocket
dyne Division. The same firm
already has an Air Force con-
tract to develop q liquid pro-
|pellant rocket engine with
more than one million pounds
of thrust from q single combus-
ton chamber.
In announcing the Air Force
contract last July, the Penta-
|gon said an engine Of this size
could be used to put up a
manned satellite weighing ap-
proximately 10000 pounds or
an interplanetary vehicle
weighing 5000 pounds"
However, yesterdays an
nouncement Of the Army con-
tract made no mention Of q
manned satellite or Of an in
terplanetary vehicle.
Supervision Of the high pri-
ority super booster project was
assigned to the Army's ballistic
missile agency.

police for what was understood
to be an investigation in con-
nection with a minor case.
Mr.. BREASTED earlier had
made it clear to newsmen he
was pretty well convinced that
the youth, William Fletcher,
|jr., a Negro, had nothing to do
with the Miner murders.
He had been brought here
from Virginia, where he had
gone from New York three days
ago, after making remarks
which relatives interpreted as
hints he was implicated in the
knife deaths.
He was taken on a tour of
Staten Island today to point
out places he supposedly had
visited with friends several
hours before the slayings of
DR.. Miner and his wife, Lou
Jean, both 81, occurred.
Mr.. BREASTED indicated the
tour was merely a routine step
to check out completely the
youths story, in which he was
quoted as saying he left the
island several hours before the
lslayings.
Young Fletcher was brought
here by plane last night from
Farmville, Va, where an aunt
told police he made remarks
that might link him with the
Miner murders in their home
September 2.
The youth had returned here
voluntarily and there was no
charge of any kind against
him. Last night he denied he
had confessed the slayings.

not progressed enough in the

insure a fair and democratic
convention.
Under the court rules setting
up the monitors, they will bow
out of the picture once the
Transfers hold a new con-
vention and Mr.. Hoffa, now
serving Professionally as union
president, stands up to a new
union election.
Court Move Seen
1t appears likely that If Mr..
Hoffa goes ahead with conven-
ton plans after the Tuesday
conference, the monitors will go
before Judge Let's and seek to
block such a convention, as well
as complain formally about
other Hoffa activities. Mr..
,ODonoghue recently consulted
privately with Judge Let's on
his problems.
Mr.. Hoffa set up the Team

former Senator George Bender,
Republican of Ohio, as chair
man and Mr.. Donohue former
District Commissioner, and
former Judge Ira Jayne Of De-

never has functioned pending a

There has been and will be

the reason was not entirely the
result of the Formosa crisis.
But he added that Red China
is a very large country. Re-
porters interpreted that as an
allusion to possible manpower
needs in any war with the Chi
nese Reds.
Not Seen Mandatory
Mr.. Eisenhower's budget pro-
posal called for reducing the
Army to $4,000 men and the
Marine Corps to IT'S, 900 by next
June 80. But Congress voted
enough money to keep the Army
at about its present strength
of 100000 and the Marines at
200, 900.
Mr.. McElroy, however, said
Congress made this permiSsive,
not mandatory, and that the
Pentagon was given certain
flexibility in spending the funds.
