brought angry retorts from
White House Press Secretary
James C. Hagerty.
Mr.. Hagerty's anger during
a question-and-answer session
with reporters reached a peak
when Lawrence Burd of the
Chicago Tribune asked him:
why did the President de-
eide to go to Phoenix rather
than perhaps take another
plane back to Washington"
Nov Mr., Burd," retorted Mr..
Hagerty. Il think when the
President of the United States
wants to go any place that he
wants to with his wife, that is
his business and nobody else's. +"
There followed this ex-
change:
Mr. Burd-"All right. / think
l have a right to ask the Ques-
ton"
Mr.. Hagerty-"Well. there's
the answer. and when he (the
Presidenp has to account for
that or make any reporting on
that. l think you are getting a
little out of bounds on your
question
Mr.. Burd-"I don't think !
am out Of bounds at all"

Offers Five Principles
To achieve Democratic VIC
tories, Mr.. Truman laid down
five principles that should guide
the party. In substance. they
are:
/. Always be sure it can be
said. 1.-The Democratic Party is
better for the little fellow"
2. No compromise on the full
protection of the civil rights Of
all citizens. regardless of race,
creed or national origin.
8. Develop plans and pro-
grams to insure steady eco
nomic growth.
4. In foreign policy, stand
firmly for cooperation with
other free nations because the
free peoples face a tough
struggle even if we stick to-
gether. If we fall apart. we can
only expect the worst"
5. Support an adequate ma
tional defense, whatever the
cost, because the question is
not What is 1t convenient for
us to pay? Rather the question
is. What is 1t worth 10 survive?"
The $l00-a-plate dinner was

Arabs
Hail Nasser
Egyptian Becomes
Head of Republic

CAIRO. Feb. % (R.-Gamal
Abdel Nasser. once an unknown
officer in the Egyptian army,
became president Of the United
Arab Republic today with al
most absolute power over 81
million people in Syria and
Egypt.
Col. Nasser told a cheering
crowd of 100000 persons in
Cairo's Republic Square that
the republic is a big weapon
for the Arabs and the founda-
ton stone of a united Arab
world. He proclaimed the
U.A.R. as the protector of all
Arabs.
Near Panic in Square
There was near panic and
almost a stampede in the
square as the broad-shouldered
Egyptian leader stepped out
side Abdln Palace. Women be-
came hysterical and police beat
back the over-enthusiastic with
belts and ropes.
In Damascus. capital of
Syria, cheering mobs streamed
into the streets and native
horsemen galloped through the
capital waving swords and
shields.
FL Guns Boom Salute
Col. NaSser was presented to
the Cairo throng as "the first
president of the U.A.R." This
followed announcements here
and in Damascus that yester-
days plebiscites had approved
almost unanimously the mer-
ger of the two Arab States with
Col. Nasser as president.
Twenty-one guns doomed a
salute. fireworks exploded in
the sky and airplanes dropped
parachutes bearing pictures Of
a smiling, 40-year-old Nasser.
Scrawled in Arabic on the
wall behind Col. Nasser was
the date July 23"-the day in
1852 when a little group Of
officers led by Col. Nasser
stepped from behind the scenes
to take over Egypt in a military
coup. He then was a lieutenant
colonel.
Today he stood in civilian
clothes, no longer president of
Egypt but supreme leader of
two U. A. r. provinces sepa-
rated by 100 miles of territory.
Few Hear Speech
When he spoke, few heard
him because Of the tumult and
confusion in the crowd.
1.-THE unity which is realized
today is a big weapon of which
we are proud" he said. 1T is
a weapon Of the future with
which We could face the COM
mon enemy who fought against

PADANG, Sumatra, Feb. %
(B.-Indonesian bombers hit
three revolutionary strongholds
in Central Sumatra and the
North Celebes today, knocking
out their communications.
The planes bombed. rocketed
and strafed the radio stations
and all post, telegraph and tele-
phone stations in this strong
hold and in the rebel capital
of Bukittingi, So miles to the
northwest.
No casualties were reported
in the surprise half-hour

Another raid Silenced the ra-
dio station at Menado rebel
capital in the North Celebes,
where military leaders have de-
clared their support for the
revolutionary regime pro-
claimed here a week ago.
Bridges Bombed
Indonesian air force planes
also bombed several important
bridges near Menado, which is
$500 miles northeast Of ia
karta. Padang is 600 miles west
of Jakarta.
There also was q report Of
an attack on Muara Bongo in
the Djambi area of South Su-
matra, an area hitherto con-
Sidered neutral.
The government radio in
Jakarta confirmed the raids on
Padang and Bukittingi and said
residents in the target areas
were warned by broadcasts to
stand clear.
The broadcast said all land,
sea and air communications
between the big island of Java
on which Jakarta is localed
and Central Sumatra had been
cut.
CThe fact this dispatch got
out showed. however. that some
system of communications with
the outside world has been re-
stored.)
A rebel spokesman in Singa-
pore said the government
planes bombed and strafed the
airfleld at Padang. On the
second sweep over the field,
the sources said, rebel forces
opened fire on the planes with
.50-caliber machine guns.
This was the first reported
exchange of fire between the
rebels and central government
forces. There was no indica-
ton whether the planes were
hit.

Mallory Ruling
Hit in Virginia
And Maryland
Hundieups Cited;
Senate Unit Opens
Inquiry Wednesday
BY MIRIAM GUTENBERG
star stan Writer

Maryland and Virginia au-
thorities yesterday expressed
concern that the Mallory de-
cision will handicap them in
dealing with criminals operat-
ing on both sides of the District
line.
At the same time, impetus
was given to moves to clarity
the Mallory decision when Sen
ator O'Mahoney, Democrat of
Wyoming. chairman of the Sem
ate Judiciary Subcommittee
on Improvements in the Federal
Criminal Code, announced his
subcommittee will hold hearings
Wednesday and Thursday.
The neighboring States are
not directly affected by the Su-
preme Courts Mallory decision
since it applies only to the Dis
trict and other Federal juris-
dictions.
It's the indirect effect that
now concerns Maryland and
Virginia police. The Mallory
decision barred a confession
because Of a delay between ar
rest and arraignment. The de-
cision also specified that police
cannot take suspects to police
headquarters for questioning
that may lead to a confession.
Difficulties Explained
Police in the neighboring
counties explained that in the
past. they have worked closely
with District detectives. When
q bandit is picked UP in Wash
ington and his method Of OPP
Grafton matches a Maryland or
Virginia case, the nearby de-
tectives are notified and they
come in to participate in the
questioning. In the past, the
nearby police chiefs explained.
this has led not only to solving
some Of their crimes but also
recovering stolen property.
Since the District police are
restricted in their questioning
and are watching the clock to
rush suspects to arraignment.
the Maryland and Virginia Of
f1cerS said, it is unlikely they
can hold onto suspects long
enough for nearby officers to
question them.
A poll of neighboring police
chiefs and prosecutors on the
effects Of the Mallory decision
brought these other reactions:

decision may spread to their
jurisdictions if Congress doesn't
remedy its effects through leg
islation.

side stores to be the first in line
to snap up such offerings as
77-cent television sets and $29
late model used cars, the crowds
were spread out over the day.
Police Capt. Marshall Gore
recalled that last year, the
shoppers downtown were con-
centrated in one big morning
push since the stores closed in
the afternoon.
Open All Day
This year, the stores stayed
open all day, to give shoppers
locked in by the snow earlier
last week a chance to catch up.
Temperatures reaching into
the upper 40s offered fairly
comfortable shopping weather,
though streets often were
slushy with the melting snow.
Capt. Gore reported trafhc
heavy. but that it seemed to
move smoothly in general.
There was ice left on some
streets, such as G street be-
tween Ninth and Fifteenth
streets NV, but most such
places had been sanded.
Traffic snarled from time to
time. but not seriously, partic-
ularly around the parking lots.
Extra duty policemen on nearly
every corner helped to keep
things moving.
There were l06 policemen on
duty downtown handling traf-
fic and crowds, including 30
extra men brought in from
other precincts. In addition,
plainclotheSmen were on the
job to watch for pickpockets
and shoplifters.
Bargain offerings downtown
included 99-cent typewriters,
9-cent baseball caps, 7-cent
kites, one-cent baby bottles, g.
cent jewelry, Accent books and
a mountain of other quick
sellers.
People began to lineup Fri
day afternoon, 10 hours be-
fore the stores opened. Some
brought cots, blankets, portable
stoves. a chaise Tongue and a
pet dog. Some agreed early Fri
day night on who stood where
in line, so they wouldn't ac-
tually have to keep their posi-
tons all night.
