New Cabinet
Hit in Korea

SEOUL, Korea, Aug. % (AP) i.
Premier John Chang ap-
pointed a new 14-member cab
met today and Immediately ran
into criticism from his own
faction within his divided Dem
ocratic Party.
The criticism was leveled at
his appointment of Hyun Suk-
no as defense minister. Mr..
Hymn is an assemblyman who
has been in charge of the
party's organization depart
ment.
House Speaker Kwak Sang
hoon, of Mr.. Chang's party fac
tion, complained that Mr.. Hyun
has no experience in military
affairs.
Il doubt whether the cabi-
net can work smoothly under
the circumstances" the Speaker
said.
Eleven of the posts went to
members of Mr.. Chang's own
faction of the Democratic
Party. Of the other three, two
went to independents and one
to the anti-Chang group.
The new defense minister
will have the responsibility of
presiding over an expected cut
OF 100000 men in the $4,000
man South Korean army. This
was an economy pledge made
in the general elections.
The important foreign min
lstry portfolio went to Chung
1l-hyung, 56. He attended Drew
University, Madison, NJ. He
was the ranking member of the
foreign affairs committee in the
last National Assembly, where
he has served four terms.
To him will fall the task of
trying to improve relations with
Japan-something unheard of
in the days of ousted President
Syngman Rhee. Mr.. Chang
favors trying to patch up
frayed relations with japan,
which ruled Korea before
World War II.
Mr.. Chang also has the task
OF convincing the United States
that South Korea must have
more assistance to stabilize its
wobbly economy.

Two Beaches Stuy
Closed in jersey
After Shark Scare

SEA GIRT, N. j., Aug. %
(AP). Normal crowds were
expected at all but two of New
Jerseys beaches today after a
shark scare that closed down
four beaches and kept bathers
close to shore.
The two closed heaches-Sea

with Toms River and Seaside
Heights-were shut down yes

The sharks victim, John Bro

tune, but doctors did not yet
know if his right leg could be
saved.
AS a result of the incident,

8 miles of beach.
Crowds were normal at all
the open beaches, however, as
the scare failed to diminish the

today they have received no re-

and cultural ties with the new
nations she once ruled and to

Senegal Chief Takes
Mali Row to De GouIIe

PARIS, Aug. % (AP).-One
squabbling premier Of the Mali
Federation arrived in Paris to-
day and the other said he would
come as soon as possible to
put his side of the dispute
before President Charles de
Gaulle.
Premier Mamadou Dia of
Senegal, who last week end pro-
claimed his states independence
of it's federation with the for
mer French Sudan. came by
plane from Dakar. He said he
welcomed the intercession OF
the French president, who also
is president of the French Com
munity.
Premier Modibo Keita of Su-
dan, who also was premier of
the federation, messaged Gen
de Gaulle that he would come
to Paris but he accused French
Iofficers in Dakar of being large
ly responsible for Mr.. Dia's Sc
cessionist action.
Mr.. Keita yesterday appealed
for immediate United Nations
help to block Senegal'S seces-
sion, accused France of refusing
troops he requested to preserve
the union of Senegal and Su-
dan, and asked for an emer-
gency meeting of the Security
Council.
Plea Sent Via TOure
Mr.. Keita sent his appeal
Through President Sekou Toure,
News of it was relayed by a
Soviet correspondent in Guinea
by Moscow Radio.
U. N. headquarters said that
up to last night it had not
received any direct request for
U. N. action.
Mr.. Dia insisted on his ar
rival in Paris that Senegal is
now an independent state, but
that another sort of close re-

between Senegal and Sudan,
He did not elaborate.
In Dakar, Leopold Senghor,
leader of the dominant Sene-

District and political leaders
yesterday sought help from
Congress in defraying the
enormous" cost of staging the
presidential inauguration next
January.
Carl L. Shipley and w. John
Kennedy said they were asking
for help both from Congress
and the Treasury Department.
They said they were going to
ask Congress to appropriate
funds to pay for stands on the
sc .th side Of Pennsylvania
a; enue and at the Presidents S
Pavilion, which normally are
reserved for guests of the new
President.
In addition, they intend to
check with the Treasury De-
partment about the possibility
of having all the official inau-
guration activities declared
tax-free.
Cut The Cost
Mr.. Shipley, chairman of the
Republican State Committee,
and Mr.. Kenney, his Demo-
cratic counterpart, head the
pre-inauguration committee
named by District Commits
Sioner Robert E. Mclaughlin.
The cost of the last inaugu-
ration was so enormous as to
be almost prohibitive," Mr..
Kenney said. so our job is to
do all we can to cut the costs" "
Mr.. Shipley said he planned
to speak to Senator Dirksen,
Republican of Illinois, later
today to see if the Joint Com
mittee of Congress can ap-
propriate funds for stands
along Pennsylvania avenue, as
is done for the stands set up at
the east front of the Capitol.
He also said he thinks any,
thing the Inauguration COM
mittee markets, such as tickets
and programs, should be tax
free.
Office Space
Our thinking is that these
should be tax-free because the
income from these sales payS
for the cost of putting on the
Inauguration in the public in
terest."
The two leaders already have
asked the General Services Ad-
ministration about office space

was announced. The southern
end of the crossing will be with
in 10 miles of Virginia Beach.
Target Date Is 1864
Construction is due to start
toward the end of this year
January l, 1864, is the target
date for completion.
I Replacement of ferry service
by a water crossing will create
a new direct north-south high
way which will save IL hours
of travel time between New
York and Jacksonville. Fla.
The average motorist will be
able to drive across the mouth
+ of Chesapeake Bay in % to
Is minutes.
During its first year of oper-
alton the bridge-tunnel is ex-
Ipected to carry .5,027 vehicles
daily as contrasted with the
acknowledgements average
! for the ferries in 1859. The
suggested toll will be 81 for
car and driver.
Although the north south
link will consist of two high
level bridges and two tunnels,
most of the crossing will be
on trestles over shallow water.
Restaurants and one or more
fishing piers will be built on
the artificial islands which will
support the tunnel ramps and
portals.
Impact Felt
The impact of the future has
already made itself felt in Vir-
ginia Beach real estate. A city
official said
II don't believe that today
an investor could buy property
on the ocean front within the
business area of Virginia Beach
for $1,000 a front foot. Re-
CARELESS of what business in
creases take place or what eco
nomic stimulation we are going
to have there won't be any
more ocean front. There is a
limited amount and no more. -"
AS an example of what
Hatchett meant by speaking of
a changing waterfront profile
was the recent announcement
that a large, modern water
front hotel, erected of brick in
the l940s, will be torn down to
make way for a more modern

REHOBOTH BEACH, Del.
Aug. 13.-Two major events
on the 1860 resort season pro-
gram are scheduled for Dele
ware beaches this coming
week.
Slaughter Beach. about Is
miles north of here offers its
annual Homecoming Week
with the traditional Big
Thursday" expected to draw
the largest influx of visitors in
the history of the small bay
side resort. Rehoboth Beach,
on Friday and Saturday. again
offers the popular Atlantic
Ocean Championship Swim
Races.
While quite a few visitors
will possibly be visiting Slaugh-
ter Beach for the first time
this week, a larger number I'M
doubtedly will be returning to
relive the memories of Big
Thursdays" of the past.
Big Thursday" came into
being in 1852 when a ban that
prohibited the taking of oysters
between May and August 20
was lifted. The oyster-loving
residents of the coastal areas
of Kent and Sussex Counties
celebrated the lifting of the
ban by rushing" to nearby
beaches to get their fill of Del
aware Bay oysters. Later in the
day, singing, dancing, more
eating-and just talking-waS
enjoyed.
Made Annual Event
So enjoyable was this first
Big Thursday" that farm fam
lilies and their friends in neigh
boring towns made it an an
nual event and so it remained
for many years. In election
years, candidates for political
offices found it good business
to be seen-and heard-at Big
Thursday" observances. and
old fashioned oratory became
an established part of the pro-
gram.
The advent of automobiles,
better roads and various forms
of entertainment eventually
lessened the appeal of Big
Thursday" and by World War
II the fete had been virtually
abandoned.
Last summer, Big Thurs
day" was revived as part of the
Homecoming Week observance,
sponsored annually by the
Slaughter Beach Memorial Fire
Company. and was so we'll re-
ceived that it is once again a
featured annual event in De-
aWare's summer time activities
program.
