Eisenhower Endorses Russian Right to Test New Rockets in Central Pacific

jected what he termed reporters implication that the nations de- fense program is being conducted on a partisan basis. Sarah Me Clendon, representing Texas news papers, told Eisenhower that Re- publicans who met with him at the White House Thursday had suggested that anyone who raises question of the inadequacy of the defense effort is displaying partisanship. Bristling, Eisen- hover asked Mrs. McClendon whether she was making speech or asking question.
 She replied she was putting question, and repeated in sub stance what she had said mo- ment earlier.
 Eisenhower shot back that he resented any implication the de- fense program was being run on a partisan basis. In the first place, he said, he has devoted his entire life to defense without partisan ship.
 U. s. Security = Eisenhower firmly rejected any idea that he will be dealing from any position of inferiority when he and Soviet Premier Khrushchev meet at the East-West summit conference in Paris next May.
 Summit = Eisenhower cold i shouldered proposal by former President Truman that he be ac- companied to the Paris ummit meeting by both Democrats and Republicans from Congress.
 Tour - Eisenhower interpreted the tumultuous welcomes he re- ceived on his 11-nation tour in December as an attempt to show appropriation for America's efforts on behalf of world peace. -. Cuba - Eisenhower declined to speculate as to what new steps the United States may take now that the Fidel Castro regime in Cuba has rejected his country's protests regarding seizure of American property.

WASHINGTON, tR - Nike Her. cules antiaircraft missiles with nuclear warheads are destined for South Korea. The plans probably will be made public within the next few weeks. Mixes have an 80-mile range.
 The U. s. 9th Army and the United Nations Command in Ko- req have emphasized the need for missile defense against hundreds of Red jet warplanes believed to be based in Communist North Ko- req and adjacent Red China.
 U. s. forces in South Korea all ready have several types of ar tillery and rockets adapted for use of atomic ammunition. They in- clude 8-inch guns, 280-millimeter guns and the Honest John battle field rocket. Presumably nuclear warheads also are stored there.
 The United States began intro ducing atomic-capable weapons into the South Korean defenses

l9 Sentenced for
 Disgusting Intent Of Cangland Meet

NEW YORK, R - Nineteen delegates to the Appalacian under world convention here were sen- fenced today to prison terms of up to five years.
 U. S. District Judge Irving R.. Kaufman said the backgrounds of the defendants Tread like a tale of horrors and that he was sentencing them "for society's protection"
 The men were charged with conspiring to obstruct justice by lying about the purpose of the up- state crime conclave in 1857.
 Fourteen of the men were sen- fenced to the maximum of five years. Ten of the IA also were fined the maximum of $10,000.
 Four others were sentenced to four years, including John c. Montana, former Buffalo, N. Y., city councilman and that city's "Man of the Year" in 1856.
 A jury of eight men and four women convicted the delegates of conspiracy last December IS after 53-day trial and Is hours of de- liberation.
 The defendants had given a variety of explanations for the conclave to various investigative agencies - ranging from a visit to a sick friend to auto trouble.
 The government conceded at the trial that it did not know the secret purpose of the meeting. But one report indicated the conclave was called to split up territories, divide proceeds and discuss ex- tension of racketeering in labor unions.

Demo. Leader
 Wins Senate Fight TOCOntinue Policy

WASHINGTON, LR - Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson had overwhelming support from his Democratic colleagues today to continue his middle -the-road policies in the Senate.
 Nipping a liberal revolt, the Democrats killed by 51-12 vote a proposal to strip Johnson of control of the party policy com mittee, expand it's size and direct it to develop overall policy.
 The vote was taken during a 21a-hour closed party conference yesterday. The liberal group had sought a stronger voice in deter mining tactics and policy.
 With his leadership tactics thus resoundingly endorsed. John son told reporters he will contin- ue to follow the course he has in the past.
 This has involved restraint in cr1tlclZlng President ElSenhoWer and the tailoring of legislation in an effort to avoid Presidential vetoes. It has meant the enact ment of compromise measures rather than passage of bills de- signed mainly to build up Dem ocratic political record.
 A sharp comment came from Senator Paul Douglas D-IlD, who began move to have more cau- cuses at which the 65 Senate Dem- ocrats could air their views.
 ''It istapparent thaat majority of the Senators are not yet ready for political self-government but prefer to stay in state of poli- tical colonialism," Douglas said.

'Q-Flu' Disrupts Community Life In Nine. States
(By The Associated Press)

Outbreaks of mild influenza have upset community routine in various parts of the country, clos ing schools dropping production, delaying justice, and perking up the sale of pills.
 Secretary of Welfare Arthur Flemming said yesterday that nine states had reported outbreaks. In four, the variety was Asian flu.
 F1emming named Texas, Ten nessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan, California, Nevada, Utah and Hawaii.
 There were signs that other states might be added soon. The epidemiologist for Seattle was concerned that it might hit his area.
 "Tlhere has been a moderate spread of flu carried back to Seattle from Los Angeles by peaple who went to the Rose Bowl football game" Dr. R. T. Raven holt said.
 In Los Angeles County, the "Q-flu" kept 20 per cent of city employees, 10 to IS per cent of in- dustrial workers, and 10 per cent of the teachers at home.
 Illness struck judges, jurymen, prosecutors, witnesses, and de- fendants, causing a logjam in the court.
 Health officials termed the virus the "Q-flu" because it has not been identified. The Q stands for question mark.
 Druggists reported a thriving pill business as many residents walked about sneezing and cough ing with bad colds or more ser ious infections.

French Finance Minister Resigns, Due to Friction

PARIS, R = Finance Minister Antoine Pinay announced his withdrawal from the government today after seeing President De Gaulle.
 The architect of Frances eco- homie recovery under De Gaulle found himself at opposite poles from some members of the cab inet on economic matters. A con- servative, he considered some of his colleagues socialistic.
 Pinay told reporters as he left the Elysee Palace:
 "In the circumstances, I am going to withdraw from the gov ernment. I remain at the govern ment's disposition. General De Gaulle understands the situation very we'll. On my side I will do what I can to carry on the work begun"

Weather Delays Ice FlOe Airlift

FAIRBANKS, R = One evacu- ation plane flew 5000 pounds of equipment from Station Charley to Barrow Tuesday when it was unable to land here because the Fairbanks area was closed by ice fog.
 But the bad weather cancelled other evacuation flights from the ice floe research camp being abandoned because of a gradual breakup. Temperatures ranged from high of, 34 below zero to a low of 45 below.
 : Yesterday five of the IS men still on the drifting floe 400 miles northwest of Barrow, and more scientific equipment were to have been taken off.
 At least two flights were planned today if weather per mitted. Efforts will be made to complete the evacuation by to- morrow or Friday.
 The floe began crumbling a week ago after two-day storm, and now is about one-fifth of it's original 2-by-4-mile size.
 The Air Force has stressed, however, that occupants of the camp have been in no danger dur ing the breakup and plans made months ago for airlifting them here have been proceeding with out incident.

U. s. 8th Army, JUN. Command, to Get Nike-Hercules Missiles in South Korea

after the North Korean Commu- rists built a network of new air fields and imported modern jets.
 Missiles for both battlefield and air defense are now in position in most Far East Allied nations = except Japan.
 Japan, the only nation ever to be hit by atomic attack, dislikes atomic weapons. In the minds of many Japanese, all missiles, whe- ther possessing nuclear capabili- ties or not, are classed as nuclear weapons.
 Within recent months, some non-atomic Sidewinder missiles for launching from planes have been brought into Japan's defense.
 Nike Hercules missiles are in position in Okinawa, the U. s. controlled island south of Japan.
 Planes on carriers of the U. s. 7th Fleet = which roams along the Asian coast - are capable of using both defensive and offen- sive atomic weapons.

WASHINGTON, tR = President Eisenhower practically ruled out today any protest against Soviet plans to fire test rockets into the U. dominated Central Pacific sometime after January 15.
 It would seem very unusual, he told a news conference, for the U. s. government to make any protest against the kind of thing it has done itself and may do again.
 Such testing appears to con- form with international law, he said.
 Russia's announced plans to test powerful new rockets in that area have brought criticism from sev- eral individuals - former Presi- dent Truman and Senator Mans field D-Mont, for example.
 Eisenhower said the United States has always claimed it is proper to use the high seas for valid scientific experiment, and has been doing so after notifying all concerned and warning away anyone who could be injured.
 This was Eisenhower's first news conference since December 2. On hand for it were 253 re- porters.
 Among other matters coming up in the conference were:
 Politics - The decision by Gov
 A Nelson A. Rockefeller of
 .. York to bow out of the Re publican Presidential race does create a certain atmosphere of no competition for the COP nomina- tion, Eisenhower remarked with smile. Rockefeller's decision has given Vice President Richard Nixon what appears to be a stranglehold on the nomination.
 As he has in the past, the Pres ident said he believes there are a number of highly qualified Re- publicans who would make good Presidents.
 Defense - With show of an- ger, Eisenhower vigorously re-

HONOLULU CITY COUNCIL PROTESTS RED PLANS FOR PACIFIC TEST FIRINGS

 The council adopted a resolu- ton yesterday asking the Russians to choose another impact zone or to abandon the project.
 Copies are being sent to Pres ident Eisenhower, Congress and the United Nations.
