Murder Spree Slayer Avoids Execution In Two-Week Reprieve

LINCOLN, Neb., R - Charles Starkweather, 20, slayer of II, won a two-weeks stay of execution today a little more than an hour before he was to go to the cleo tric chair.
 Chief U. s. District Judge Rich ard Robinson of Omaha stayed the execution until June 4. He said that would give Starkweather time to appeal a district court de- nial of a writ Of habeas corpus.
 Starkweather was scheduled for execution about am. for one of the slayings during a murder ram page 16 months ago. The stubby red-haired youth admitted II gun and knife killings.
 Official witnesses and newsmen were already gathering in a pre- dawn thunderstorm when the pen itentiary warden notified them the execution had been stayed.
 ''He was pretty shaky," said the warden. ''He was all prepared to go."
 Before the execution was called off, Starkweather had spent ner- vous night drinking a good bit of coffee, the warden said.
 At the women's state reforma- tory in York, where Carol Fugate, Starkweather' murder tour com panion, is serving a life sentence, Supt Hattie Bowley said the girl had not been told of the stay of execution, and probably won't learn of it from reformatory officials.

N. Consolidated Airlines' Excursion Fares Fought
 By Two Alaska Carriers

WASHINGTON, R Two Seattle based airlines - Alaska and Pacific Northern - have filed complaints against new low ex- cursion fares in Alaska which Northern Consolidated Airlines proposes to introduce June 5.
 Tn separate filings the two lines asked the Civil Aeronautics Board to suspend the proposed excursion fares and investigate them.
 Pacific Northern directed it's complaint at fares proposed be- tween Anchorage and Big Noun tain, Dillingham;, Iliamna and King Salmon.
 The airline said the proposal would provide, for the first time, round trip fares for one-day ex- cursion lower than the current regular oneway fare between the same towns. On that basis pro- posed fares could only have the effect of lowering present one way fares, Pacific Northern said-
 Alaska complained about North ern Consolidated's proposal to slash the fare between Anchorage and Fairbanks by way of McGrath by 80 per cent.
 The Alaska Airlines complaint said that through the group travel device, Northern Consolidated ob- viously intended to undercut Alas ka's Anchorage-Fairbanks fare.

 The second official action by the Chamber board was the reso- lution to place an embargo on certain fish products presently being imported from Japan: ''Now therefore be it resolved that Alas ka State Chamber, through it's utilization with the United States Chamber of Commerce, seek the support of our Representative in Congress, our two United States Senators and other friends in high places, in requesting that an em- bargo be placed upon all seafood imported from any foreign coun- try where seafood found its ori- gin in Alaskan waters, and where the methods employed in catching and processing such seafood would be illegal if used by Alaskan fish ermen."
 The Chamber was busy this morning studying the Alaska Wis itors Association and it's future in the state.
 A smorgasbord dinner is to be held this evening at the Multi purpose Room of the School.
 The board will be in session again tomorrow morning, and will participate in the Airport Terminal dedication ceremonies. They will complete their work sessions late Saturday.

Hoffa Says Labor Wants Advantages Also, of New Laws

MINNEAPOLIS. Minn., R-Al- though he said he favors system and industry organizing, Team sters Union President James Hof- ia says his union never would call a national walkout.
 He denied making the threat of such a strike in a talk at Browns vile, Tex, and reiterated an earlier claim that he had been misquoted.
 But, Hoffa added, he does not feel to have been ''victimized' by the press because 'I can handle myself"
 Hoffa, here to talk with Min neapolis and St. Paul Teamsters, said his union would abide by any restrictions Congress imposes in new laws. But" he added, i've reserve the right to have the ad- vantages as well as the disadvan- tages of any new legislation"
 Told that Senator John Ken nedy had made a speech Thurs day night in which he accused Hoffa of "public-be-damned" at titude, he said Kennedy would "do well to examine his' own remarks to see whether he is talking in the best interests of the working man."
 Holding himself to be a respon- sible labor leader, Hoffa told a news conference that a man is entitled to any position the people he represents want to give him.
 He complained that about a third of the last IS months he has spent contending with the Senate committee studying labor rackets.

Federal Housing Aids Bill Ramned Through House

WASHINGTON, LR - A walk away victory by House Democrats in their battle for large-scale fed eral housing aids enhanced pros poets today for other Democratic programs.
 By a lusty 261-16O vote Thurs day, the House passed a Demo cratic-backed 100000 hous- ing bill after upsetting every Re publican effort to whittle it down to Administration size.
 The result put Congress squarely at odds with President Eisenhower in the politically tinged hassle over spending versus the balanced budget.
 A more immediate result was to generate new steam behind pro- posals for a billion dollars of fed eral aid for local public works projects, and quarter billion dol lars of government loans and grants to assist depressed areas.
 House passage of the housing bill now sends it to conference with the Senate to compromise differences. The Senate earlier this session voted a $2,69O,0OO,OOO program.
 Republicans were counting on a Presidential veto if the bill sticks to present lines. None of Thurs days major votes gave the Demo- crats the two-thirds majority they would need to override a veto.
 Presidential displeasure ap- pears certain to be centered on authority for continuing govern ment-subsidized low-rent public housing.
 President Eisenhower in his January message to Congress asked for an end to public hous- ing. But the Senate voted to sub sidize 45,000' new units, the House 14O,OOO new units for four years at the rate of 35,0O0 a year.
 The House ignored cries of gal loping socialism," budget busting and spending sprees in approving the bill without major change.
 A coalition of Republicans and southern Democratic conservatives was outnumbered by the disci- plined Democratic majority on every key vote.

 In this time of armed interna- tional uneaSineSS an unstable home front economy could jeopar- dize tour prosperity, our secur- ity, our freedom" he said.

Herter Argues for Western Plan To Free Germany

GENEVA, Pt - U. s. Secretary of State Christian Herter told So- viet Foreign Minister Gromyko today people all over the world have praised the Western plan for German peace settlement and have been disappointed by Soviet rejection of it.
 In a new round of debate in the Big Four conference, Herter argued in effect that the West is winning and the Soviet Union los ing the propagana battle over their rival German programs.
 Herter rebuffed a contention by Gromvko that Western insistence of German unification prior to a peace treaty is barrier to achievement of European security.
 The fact is, Herter said, that it is difficult to see how peace and security can be attained in Europe without reunification.
 He urged Gromyko to "give further, and I hope serious, con- sideration" to the Western plan, which provides for successive, par allel steps toward unification, European security and disarma- ment.
 He welcomed one declaration by Gromyko at an earlier stage of the debate, a statement that Ger many should have the right to de- eide for itself the right to retain alliance ties with other countries. West Germeny is a member of NATO. East Germany, less than half it's size, is a member of the Soviet-led Warsaw pact.
 After meeting an hour and IA minutes the ministers recessed for the weekend. They met again Monday afternoon.
 After nearly two weeks of for nal sessions the Big Four minis ters are now moving into a new phase in which they expect short ly to get down to hard-boiled bar gaining in secret over the Berlin and summit issues.
 Herter and British Foreign Sec retary Selwyn Lloyd, French Foreign Minister Maurice Couve De Murville and West German representative. Heinrich von Ere tano decided today the bargain ing will have to go on in small secret gatherings over lunch and dinner tables. These will parallel the big meetings at the Palace of Nations - making this split level conference developing partly open and partly secret.

We Must Await 'T-Dm'

FORMER President Truman, still a
happy warrior in Democratic ranks. al
most created the impression in New
York City the other night that his party
should nominate a committee. rather
than a candidate, for the presidency.
Entrusted with the somewhat delicate
task of introducing seven potential nom
lneeS to a large gathering of the party
faithful, Mr.. Truman not only found i'm
partially kind words for each but as
Sured his audience that he could produce
at least another half-dozen figures quail
flied to liberate the White House from
Republican control.
Still, quite in character, Mr.. Truman
did not extend this generous evaIuation
OF the party'S riches to include lust any
Democrat. The choice, he explained.
must be "a vigorous, fighting, genuine
liberal" and he made it clear that there
Is another variety he does not like.
Without naming names, although adding
that you know who they are" Mr.. Tru-
man swept these undesirableS into the
category Of "self-appointed hot
house -. Johnny come lately" liberals
who talk good game without playing it.
Indeed, so inciSive was Mr.. Truman in
drawing his dividing line through the
liberal camp that Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt.
the partyS guest of honor, felt obliged to
comfort the outcastS by saying that she
likes "all kinds Of liberals If the
elder statesman from Missouri does not.
Actually, the big party dinner
hosted by the Democratic Advisory
Council-provided few clues about what
may happen at the Los Angeles conven-
ton next summer. Among the seven
identified potentialS present, Adlai Ste
venson, twice defeated and opposed in
1856 by Mr.. Truman, registered best on
the applause meter. Unexpectedly, Flor
ida's Governor Leroy Collins, not in
cluded among the big seven, was the
runnerup. There was immediate specu-
lation that he might be a vice presiden-
tlal possibility. But that will depend, one
infers, on the particular category of
liberalism the fates may assign him to.
BY one way of reading, Mr.. Truman
may have leaned little bit to Senator
Kennedy of Massachusetts,, whom he
identified as according to the judgment
OF many, fighting liberal" Even so,
the former President designated July 10,
the day before the convention opens, as
T-Day, the day on which he will reveal
his personal choice. BY then, of course,
a flock of primaries and various other
developments may make the Truman
selection academic-or perhaps different
than it would be today. On this basis,
1t is regrettable that his qualified ex-
tras and his disqualified Johnny come
latelys may never be identified.

Rights Are Restricted

BY declining to interfere with the
State Departments ban on passports for
travel in Red China, the Supreme Court
in effect has upheld lower court rulings
that the constitutional right" of Ameri-
cans to travel abroad is properly subject
to executive restrictions. The high court
thus has strengthened materially the
hand of the Government in limiting
visits abroad which might be in conflict
with our foreign policy or result in en-
barraSSing or serious incidents.
Three persons had appealed to the
Supreme Court from appellate decisions
sustaining the passport ban. They were
Representative Porter of Oregon, Waldo
Frank, New York lecturer and author,
and William Worthy, jr., Baltimore
newSman. All contended they had con-
Stitutional travel rights which could not
be taken away and that denial of pass
ports, therefore, was illegal. Perhaps
the most definitive and persuasive an
Swer to such claims was made in ruling
in the Worthy case by Chief Judge Bar
rett Prettyman of the Court of Appeals
here. Speaking for a unanimous three
judge panel, Judge Prettyman pointed
out that liberty itself is inherently a
restricted thing" Then he added:
We think that, if the Executive fore
sees that the presence of American citi-
zens in designated foreign area may, by
reason of military or political conditions
there. evolve into, or be the occasion of,
clash, diplomatic or military, with a
foreign government, his power in respect
to foreign affairs includes power to refuse
to sanction the travel of American citizens
in that area. To hold to the contrary
would be to hold that the protection of
the peace against American caused Incl
dents in foreign countries is outside the
realm of foreign affairs. Such latter hold
ing would be both illogical and unrealistic.
In foreign affairs, especially in the inti-
mate posture of todays world of jets,
radio and atomic power, an individuals
uninhibited yen to go and to inquire may
be circumscribed
1t is not surprising that the Supreme
Court has sustained this sourf doctrine
Evening star., 1959-12-09
International Law

Ever since the first high
hopes for the success of the
UN. in keeping permanent
peace were somewhat dimmed
by the veto-ridden Security
Council and the limitations
we placed on the Jurisdiction
of the international Court
of Justice, it has been appar-
ent that, in the latter case
at least. we made a mistake.
For, while there is some JUS
tlflcation for the retention
of the veto in the absence
of other guarantees of secu-
rity, such as a permanent in
ternational police force and a
dependable armament con-
troll system, the limitations
we placed on the Jurisdiction
OF the court are without
basis and have uniustifiably
been used, also. by other ma
tionS to avoid International
obligations.
1t came, therefore, as a
breath of fresh air to hear
that the President strongly
supports removal of the we'll
meant but ill-advised Con-
nally reservation on Amer
ican adherance to the Inter-
national Court of Justice. The
report of his letter of No
vember 81 to Senator Hum
phrey registers the hope that
appropriate legislation will be
enacted to pave the way for
this small but important step.
