Indians Take Worpoth
To Bar Uranium Union

TALLY more than S. million
worth of uranium concentrate
annually. They Joined the Nav
ajos today in asking the court
to put of the unionization for
fear they would lose their lease
and the plant would have to
close.
The Indians attorneys con-
tended today that the tribe has
complete sovereignty over its
Is million acres under a treaty
signed in 1868 with the United
States.
While the NavajoS are CRATE
full for United States help over
the years. their brief noted that
very little effort or progress
has been made. except in the
last seven years, to equip. the
NavajoS with any reasonable
semblance of educational ad-
vantages. :"
Few of them speak and un-
'derstand English we'll and union
organizers are unlikely to speak
Navajo, the brief indicated.
The democratically elected
tribal council has recommended
training programs to educate
the Indians in a number of
skills, crafts and trades before
they become members of a
union.

Nebraska Republicans almost
out of their minds.
They were the ones who were
outraged by Mr.. Carpenters
performance at the San Fran
cisco Cow Palace in 1856.
Then, as nearly everyone
must remember, 1t was Mr.
Carpenter who interrupted the
well-rehearsed plan for the
unanimous denomination OF
Vice President Nixon, with his
inSistence that he had another
man to nominate.
When the shouting died
enough for him to make him
self heard, he named as his
candidate the mythical Joe
Smith.
You take your Joe Smith
and get out of here" Conven-
ton Chairman Joe Martin bel
lowed at him.
Regular Nebraska Republic
cans cite the incident as one
of Mr.. Carpenters typical
publicity stunts" But they ad-
nit that his fair for snaring
headlines is a main reason he
will be tough to beat in the
primary this year.

throughout the State, having
served a term in Congress as
a Democrat before switching
parties in 1850.

Cuba Flights
BY the Associated Press

New controls to stop illegal

Cuba are expected to be set up
shortly.
The Federal Aviation Agency,
it was learned today, is prepar-
ing to issue regulations design
ed to keep the Government
informed of all flights from the
Southeastern United States.
While the orders would cover
flights destined for any foreign
point, their main purpose would
be to eliminate further incl
dents arousing ill feeling be-
tween this country and Cuba.
United States officials are in

PARIS, Mar. % (AP).-So-
Wet Premier Nikita Khrushchev
said today the Soviet Union is
going to do everything possible
to achieve disarmament and
only insignificant items are pre-
venting a nuclear agreement in
Geneva.
The Russian chieftain spoke
at a reception after arriving In
Paris for a 12-day state visit to
France and opening talks with

world affairs.
I'VE are going to do every
thing possible to bring about

Frenchmen representing the

Geneva talks on a nuclear test
ban, Mr.. Khrushchev said "only
insignificant questions remain"
Hints Another Army Cut

for peace" Mr.. Khrushchev
said. Il think that some time
in the future we will be, able to
consider another reduction Of
our army"
This was a reference to his
announced plan to cut Soviet
armed forces by IL million men
in the next two years and rely
on rockets for defense pending
world disarmament.
Mr.. Khrushchev said both
France and Russia fear a re-
birth Of militarism in Germany.

are only dangerous now be-
cause they could start another

Mr.. Khrushchev spoke in q

Outside, along the Seine River,
a crowd shouted for him to
come to the balcony.

sentence Larry Lord Mother
well to the gas chamber or to
life in prison.
Motherwell, AZ, was convicted
of killing Mrs. Pearl Putney,
~. a widow from Washington.
D. c.. after a cross-country
trip in 1858. Under California
law, the jury that convicts in
q murder case then holds an
other hearing and decides the
penalty.
Mrs. Putney's remains were
found near a Sierra Nevada
logging road a year after she
was last seen alive with Mother
well.
Jurors deliberated six hours
yesterday before recess for
the night. Motherwell, a con-
struction worker, spent the
time while the jury was out
writing letters to his third wife
in Washington.
Before the jury got the case,
Judge Warren Steel denied a
motion for a mistrial by De-
fense Attorney John T. Reyes,
who contended the prosecution
was trying to convict Mother
well Of crimes other than the
death of Mrs. Putney.

An Italian investment group
is negotiating for the purchase
of a two-square Foggy Bottom
tract, overlooking the Potomac
River. for which it plans q
multi million dollar luxury
apartment project.
The tract, among the most
valuable in the city. is bounded
by Virginia and New Hamp-

also includes q small triangle
of land bounded by Virginia

and H street.
The land is owned by the

ment syndicate which included
the American Securities Corp.

Foggy Bottom area which in

The Italian group is under
