uled playing of the Neither
lands Carlton Tower near the
Two Jima Marine Memorial.
A spokesman in the National
Parks Service Division Of Pub

the free public concert is the
result of an electrical miscue in
the device which automatically
plays the 49-bell carlton.
The bells and tower, a gift
from the Queen of the Neither

in gratitude for American war;

Vitomin Excess Called
AS Bad as Deficiency

produces all of the necessary
vitamins for most people, she
said.
Vitamins are necessary chem
ical substances present in nat
ural foods along with carbohy-
drates, fats, proteins and min
erals. Some vitamins, such as
A and D, are soluble IN fat and
when not used by the body are
kept in the blood stream.
Others, such as vitamin c
and the various B vitamins
are soluble in water and any
excessess in the body can be
excreted without harming the
person.
The liver, she noted, is a
storehouse for large amounts
of vitamin A but when 1t is
saturated with it the vitamin
accumulates in the blood
stream and harms the body.
This damage includes striking
changes in the microscopic
structure of the thyroid gland
and an increase in basal metab-
oliSm.
DR.. Sampson cited studies
which showed toxic effects of
too much vitamin A in rats
and in children. Repeated daily
overdoses in rats took only a
few weeks to produce these
effects. In children and in
women it is a matter Of a few
months.
She cited a recent editorial
in the Journal of the American
Medical Association which said,
"all nutrients essential to the
maintenance of health in the
normal individual are supplied
by an adequate diet"

NSA Defectors

Mitchell, Martin
See War Threut
In American Policy

MOSCOW, Sept. s (AP).-
Two young code clerks from
the super-secret United States
National Security Agency
turned up in Moscow today
with tales that the United
States is spying even on its
allies under a policy they feel
will lead to World War III. Il
Bernon F. Mitchell, 81, of
Eureka. Calf, and William H.
Martin, 20, of Ellensburg.
Wash. announced they have
detected to the Soviet Union
and intend to become Soviet
citizens.
I'VE would attempt to crawl
to the moon if we thought it
would lessen the threat of an
atomic war;" they said in a
statement.
The Russians put the two
on display under television
lights in the gilt-ornamented
Journalists Club. From plat
form the two detailed the two
complaints against the United
States and spilled to newsmen
what they said were NSA COM
munications intelligence Sc
crets. They said the United
States had broken the codes of
friendly nations and even
planted a spy in a friendly
embassy.
Came Via Mexico
Mitchell and Martin, bache-
lor friends since service in the
United States Navy, refused to
tell how they got to Moscow
from NSA headquarters at Fort
Meade, Md. They are known
to have come by way of Mexico
City.
THAT might prevent others
from taking the same route"
they said.
The two left Fort Meade in
June on vacation, ostensibly to
visit relatives on the West
Coast. They never reached the
coast.
Mitchell and Martin pro-
fessed to believe that United
States policy may lead to World
War III. They complained
chiefly of American reconnais-
sance flights over Soviet terri
tory and the rim of Red China,
but said nothing about the May
Day U-2 flight for which the
Russians gave Francis Gary
Powers a 10-year sentence.
They said one of the reasons
they left the United States was
persecution there of persons
who do not believe in God. They
attacked what they called har-
assment of those with unpopu-
lar political views.
Like Russian Women.
Talents of women are en-
couraged and utilized to a much
greater extent in the Soviet
Union than in the United
States" they said in a state

LEOPOLDVILLE, The Congo,
Sept. 6.-The United Nations
took over Radio Leopoldville
today and banned all broad
casts.
The measure was taken as
part of the U. N. mandate TO
maintain peace, and order in
the nation, tottering on the
verge of civil war.
At the same time the U. N.
Congo Command announced
it has frightened control over
all airports serving its opera
tions. All civilian traffic was
halted.
Premier Patrice Lumumba
called for an emergency ses-
sion of Parliament to seek a
vote of confidence in a show
down fight for power with
President Joseph KaSavupu.
Lumumba Protests
Mr.. Lumumba has been using
the Leopoldville radio to call
on his supporters to defend
the republic" Mr.. Kasavubu's
firing of Mr.. Lumumba also
was announced on the radio by
the middle-aged President
himself.
The u. N. indicated that
such radio appeals tended to
further inflame the explosive
situation. The radio was told
to stay off the air.
The United Nations also an
nounced that it received a pro-
test from Mr.. Lumumba against
its control of the airports. He
has been demanding that such
control be handed to his troops.
Despite Mr.. Lumumba's pro-
test, combat-ready U. N. troops
were deployed about the Leo
poldville Airport to prevent the
Congolese from moving in.
Both Appeal to U. N.
In their quarrel, both Mr..
Kasavubu and Mr.. Lulnumba
have appealed to the United
Nations for support.
Mr.. Lumumba acted after a
rush of events in which Mr..
Kasavubu went on the air in
a dramatic move last night
and announced the fiery Pre-
mier's custer. The latter coun-
tered by taking over the net
work and announcing he had
fired Mr.. Kasavubu as chief
of state.
Claiming they have the sup
port of the Congolese army, Mr..
Lumumba's supporters issued

his campaign against content

iday.
In a speech prepared for a
morning rally here, the Demo-
cratic presidential nominee
pitched his plea that I'VE move
ahead on every front" to the
issues of atomic energy and
mineral development.
He attacked President Eli
senhower's announced inten-
ton to veto the lead and zinc
assistance bill and promised
that IL he were in the White
House he would sign such
legislation.
Senator Kennedy also called
for aggressive atomic research
and development to win
the race for competitive atomic
power-a victory which can
have a more profound effect
throughout the world than the

Pair Traitors
Agents Struggled
Abroad on TruwIer
BY the Associated Press


President Eisenhower regards
/ the two National Security
Agency employees who detected
to Russia as "self-confessed
traitors" to the United States,
the White House said today.
Mr.. Eisenhower's comment,
relayed through Press Secretary
James c. Hagerty, followed a
report that the detecting code
clerks were smuggled into Rus
Sia aboard a Soviet trawler that
picked them UP in a Cuban
port.
Hagerty Comments
Mr.. Hagerty was asked
whether the United States Gov
eminent had any knowledge in
advance Of the appearance of
Bernon F. Mitchell and Will
liam H. Martin in Moscow to-
day, that they had detected to
the Soviet Union.
He replied that he wanted to
change the word 'defectors' to
self confessed traitors"
Then he added that it would
not be appropriate for him, as
a White House official, ito have
any statement on self-con-
fessed traitors"
Asked about Mr.. Eisenhower's
reaction on the matter, Mr..
Hagerty replied he felt he had
already stated how the Pres
ident feels about 1t.
Does he (Mr. Eisenhower
regard them as self-confessed
traitorS?" a newsman asked.
"Yes," Mr.. Hagerty shot
back. Don't you?"
Knew About Trip
Other Government officials,
who declined to be identified,
reported that Government
agencies knew about the de-
parture of Mitchell and Martin
from Cuba aboard a Russian
trawler shortly after the ship
left Cuba. Cuban authorities
were believed to have CO.
operated in the trip, they said.
Secretary of State Christian
A. Herter declined to make any
comment on the case and the
Defense Department issued only
a brief rebuttal statement say
ing:
"At this time we want to
state only that the remarks
of Martin and Mitchell at their
appearance in Moscow contain
statements about alleged activi-
ties of the United States Gov
eminent in relation to it's allies
and other governments of the
free world which are COM
pletely false and which can
only serve the Communist OBJ
ljectiveS of sowing distlust
among free nations"
The spokesman declined to
say which of the statements by
Martin and Mitchell were
viewed specifically as false.
Quick Reactions
The discovery that the two
men are now in Moscow touched
off quick reactions from con-
gressional investigators.
The House Committee on
Un-American Activities an
nounced it will subpoena the
NSA personnel director to get
the employment records of the
two code clerks.

A lovable boy, l1-year-old
Phil at once sought friends.
He didn't know that his

Only the slim pay checks his
teen-age brothers bring home
keep the family going. His
brothers dropped out of school
for jobs after their father was

A vacation at camp in green
woods, with hikes and a chance
to swim every day, could re-
vive the past and enrich the
