U. s. Capitol Stages Warm, Tumultuous Greeting for Returning Chief Executive

WASHINGTON, R- President Eisenhower returned today from the wreckage of the summit to a warm show of unity and affection from the people of the capitol.
 By thousands, they gathered at the airport and along vantage points of the 15-mile route to the White House to display the tradi- tional American solidarity in diff ferences with other nations.
 It was demonstration yelling from the emotions aroused by Soviet Premier Khrushchev's true ulent, often-insulting, behavior at the Paris gathering of heads of state.
 Officials said it wasn't planned in just grew But school chil- dren were released from classes so they could join in the vel come. Government workers were not officially authorized to leave their jobs, but everybody under stood an absence wouldn't be officially noted.
 Most of the top ofoficials, and many Congress members, were at the air field at Andrews Air Base, in nearby Maryland, long before there was any sign of Eisenhower's s big jet airliner in the hay sky of warm spring day.
 Congressional delegations on hand to give the President "wel- come home" included Democrats as we'll as Republicans.

Fault in Soviet Space Ship Knocks It Off Course

MOSCOW, R - The Soviet Unions experimental space ship developed fault yesterday dur ing an attempt to bring it's cabin back to earth, the Soviet news agency Tass announced today.
 Early yesterday, orders were radioed to the ship to switch on braking device, detach the cabin and bring it down from orbit.
 However, as a result of fault which had developed by that time in one of the instruments of the space ships orientation system, the direction of the retrorocket's blast deviated from that planned" Tass said.
 Moscow said the cabin was de- tached from the 412-ton space ship successfully and was moving along in the vicinity of it.
 The Soviets announced last Sunday when they reported the new Sputnik in orbit that no at tempt would be made to recover the cabin and the dummy aeronaut reported riding in it. The cabin and contents, this announcement said, could be expected to burn up in the atmosphere during descent. z.

Yet there were Democrats primed to ask, at the proper mo- ment, for a full account of what they called administration "blun- dering" in relation to the spy plane flight over Russia. Khrush- chev used this incident as his take off point for wrecking the summit hopes.
 A group of House Democrats drafted series of questions they said Eisenhower should answer in a nationwide address.
 And too, Eisenhower brought back from Paris all the interna- tional problems that accompanied him there - now grown more ur- gent and uglier than before.
 Eisenhower said Soviet Premier Khrushchev's breakup of the sum- init conference is "a mystery and remains mystery"
 It was not the downing of the American U-2 spy plane that wrecked the conference, Eisen- hover said in effect, declaring that the Soviet leader distorted and overplayed" the incident.
 The Soviets wanted no talks of any kind and made it impossible to begin," he said.
 Looking into the future, Eisen- hover said "We can be watchful for more irritations and possibly other incidents which can be more than annoying"

Shark Chews Young Girl
 At California Beach Resort

SANTA CRUZ, Calif., R = A huge shark attacked 16-year- old girl off Hidden Beach yesterday and mangled her left leg SO severe ly it had to be amputated below the knee.
 Suzanna Marie Theriot was swimming 150 feet offshore when the shark struck.
 The attack was another in a series along the California coast that authorities blame on a warm- ing trend of the waters and the movement of warm fish north ward.
 Two Californians have been killed in the past year, one off San Francisco, the other off La Jolla, near San Diego.
 Suzanna and 38 sophomore classmates were on a parochial high school outing.
 She underwent a four-hour op- eration at Santa Cruz Hospital but surgeons were unable to save her leg.

Stymied Rescuers Continue Attempts
 To Reach Stricken Mckinley Climbers
B U L L E T l N

ANCHORAGE - An Alaskan bush pilot has landed his small plane on the icy slopes of Mt. Mckinley and picked up ser iously ill woman mountain climb CT. Rescue officials said the pilot Don Sheldon would fly Mrs. Helga Bading to the town of Tal- keetna. An Air Force plane will be waiting there to take her to an Anchorage hospital
 Meanwhile, ground parties are pushing their way up the noun tain in an attempt to rescue four other injured climbers.
 ANCHORAGE, R - Helicopter rescue efforts failed today and two mountaineers started descent of Mt. Mckinley with a critically ill woman, leaving four injured men awaiting aid from ground parties.
 "We are getting desperate" An chorage mountaineer Paul Crews radioed to communications head quarters here.
 Then Crews reported he and Charles Metzger of Anchorage would try to bring the sick wo- man, Mrs. Helga Bading, down by sled from the 15,00O-foot level to point where she could be reached by helicopter.
 Four climbers from the Pacific Northwest, all injured in a fall Tusday night, remained in a makeshift camp above 17,OO0 feet.
 Five ground parties of six men each, most of them flown here from Seattle and Portland, had climbed to an estimated 12,0CO feet today and rescue leaders said they could not possibly reach the injured men until tomorrow or later.
 An Army jet helicopter tried to reach the stranded climbers today but was turned back by mechani- cal trouble. Anchorage rescue CO., ordinators then said efforts to reach the scene by helicopter would have to be abandoned.
 Plasma was dropped for Mrs. Bading, but it fell in a glacial area and Crews said he and Metzger would start down without trying to retrieve it.
 ''We feel it is more important to try to get her down." he said.
 Before deciding on the hazard ous descent, Crews made fran tic appeal for helicopters.
 eff we have to wait for the ground parties," he radioed, "the outcome will be doubtful"

MT. K. Proposes
 Another Summit In 6 or s Months

DGICAl1N, MT - oOVlGl ISlIl1SI Khrushchev promised today to preserve the status quo in Ger many until another summit con- ference in six or eight months has chance to settle the problem.
 The Soviet Premier vowed to do nothing to "bring back the worst times of the cold war" But he said there was hidden struggle among various U. S.. circles (which makes us fear serious developments"
 "We believe" he told a fran tically cheering East German audience, that although reaction ary powers blew up the summit conference in Paris, the next sum- init conference will take place in six to eight months.
 "Under these circumstances it is sensible to wait a bit and try by common efforts of all the vic- torious powers to seek a solution of the question of the signature of treaty of peace with the two German states which actually exist"
 Khrushchev has said that if he is forced to sign separate treaty with Communist East Germany, the Big Three's garrisons will lose their right to stay in Berlin.
 "We do not let this subject of a treaty out of our sight," he said. "Let's wait bit. It will ripen better"
 Repeatedly he leveled hi S sights at President Eisenhower, whom he denounced in Paris in personal terms and blamed for the collapse of the summit con- ference. ,5
 He said bluntly that Eisenhower would not be in the next summit conference.
 His accusation of struggle in the United States reversed the usual charge that there was a hidden struggle going on in the Kremlin which obliged the Communist leader to take a hard attitude toward his repudiated friend, Presient Eisenhower, at tn e wrecked summit conference. He coupled this claim of a new struggle with further denuncia- tions of Eisenhower.
 "The President of the United States intentionally sent a recon naissance plane over the borders of our country" he said. "Think of that = on the eve of the sum- init conference.
 Everything seemed to indicate that the United States did not want a solution of problems and sought only a new occasion to worsen the situation and heat the atmosphere to the most extreme point"

STRIKES and SPARES
"Hurry-Up Harry's Rushing
FOOtwOrk Is a Bad Habit
By JOE WlLMAN

"Hurry-Up Harry" is a nerv-
out type. He's anxious to get
things done. He does every
thing in a hurry. And that
hurts his bowling game.
Harry's problem is in rush.
ing his footwork. 1t often
causes him to drop the ball
on the approach. That's be-
cause he rushes his footwork,
and his feet get to the foul
line before his arm swing is
complete and ready to deliver
the ball.
This places extra strain on
the arm. and it often causes
Harry to drop the ball on the
approach. In such a case, his
timing is bad.
The answer for Harry is to
relax and take things easy in
his footwork. He should walk
through his approach a few
times to see just how long each
step should be. Then, he can
go through his approach nor
mally. but without the ball,
as today's picture illustrates.
This helps him coordinate the
movements of his arm swing
with his new pace in foot
work.
Finally, Harry can try it with
the ball. That's the final test.
Even II he learns to keep his
footwork slowed down during
normal bowling, he should be
on guard that he doesn't lapse
