 Tokyo demonstrators hanged President Eisenhower and Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi in eff gy and blanketed the capitol with placards denouncing ratification of the new U. S.-Japan security treaty.
 On both sides of the Iron Cur tain, parades, rallies and speeches marked the workers holiday es- tablished 61 years ago by the in- ternational Socialist Congress. The United States celebrates on the first Monday in September.
 Marching troops, guns and rockets were the center attrac- tion in Moscow, where Prime Min ister Khrushchev and other Soviet leaders reviewed the mammoth parade. Thousands of Muscovites applauded the parade, but it con- tained none of the terrifying new weapons Khrushchev talked about in speech to the Supreme Soviet last January

 The shot may be fired this week.
 Atlas shots in the past have achieved distances of something over 6,000 statute miles.
 The Russians in January lobbed one of their test missiles from a launching pad deep within the Soviet Union about 7,700 statute miles into the south central Pacific.
 The planned impact area for the new long distance Atlas flight will be in the area of the Prince Ed ward Islands which lie about ,25O miles southeast of the Cape of Good Hope.

minute stay of execution that came too late.
 The California State Supreme Court denied a series of petitions filed Saturday and Sunday after unprecedented special session in chambers in San Francisco this morning They met again to deny new petition for stay filed 45 minutes before the death hour.
 But U. s. District Judge Louis Goodman said he tried to grant a 30-minute stay, but the deadly pellets had already been dropped. The petition was filed with Good man at 9:55.
 Thus ended the life of a small time hodlum, car thief and robber whose long struggle to escape the supreme penalty made him pos sibly the most famous prisoner of his generation.
 First arrested at the age of 16, he died at 38, having spent more than 20 years in prisons.
 Chessman died under a double conviction of Kidnapping for rob- bery with bodily harm, the off cial legal description of perverted sex attacks on two women in Los Angeles lovers lanes in January, 1948. He denied the crimes. Thwarted Death Eight Times
 Nine times his death date was set; eight times he thwarted it.
 Seven times the courts granted stays to permit new appeals. The eighth time Governor Brown gave a reprieve to avoid hostile demon strations against President Eisen- hover in Latin America and to push an abortive effort to abolish capital punishment in California.
 The persistence and brilliancy of the campaign of appeals which Chessman conducted from his cell in death row made his name a household word around the world.
 In the end, he had succeeded in shifting public attention away from his crimes to his own per- sonality and the larger issue of capital punishment.
 Thousands of persons at home and abroad signed petitions or joined demonstrations urging that Chessman's life be spared.
