U. N. REFUSES TO SEAT RED CHINA

UNITED NATIONS, NY. H9 = The JUN. General Assembly cli- maxed historic China debate to- day by refusing to give National ist China's seat to the Chinese Communists.
 The vote on the Soviet pro- posal was 36 in favor, AS against with 20 abstaining
 The decision represented a sllb- stantial victory for the United States as the China issue received it's first showdown test since the Communists took over the China mainland 12 years ago.
 The issue now goes over until next year when the Russians are expected to renew their demands
 The Assembly had virtually slammed the door on Red China earlier in the afternoon when fl decided 61-34 that a two-thirds majority was needed to seat the Peiping essime.
 The vote on the two thirds proposal indicated the relative strength of the two sides and thus foreshadowed the defeat oi a Soviet proposal calling for the immediate seating of Communist China.

Retired College Professor Upbraids Officials Who Regulate Salmon Industry

SAN FRANCISCO H = A re- tired college professor yesterday upbraided officials who regulate the salmon industry for making regulations when "you don't know what you are talking about 2 And they applauded.
 What good is it to set a limit to commercial catch when you don't know what the catch should be?" asked Dr. Wm. Thompson, retired University of Washington professor and one time director of the Halibut and Salmon Com missions.
 He told the Pacific Marine Fish, |eries Commission salmon are "so poorly understood" because of governmental and industry treat |ment of fisheries scientists. Nobody knows the biology oi salmon, he said. "It's your fault,'' Thompson told fisheries men and regulatory officials from the four West Coast States.
 The professor said commissions have been ordering their sci entists to follow the same re- search program over and over they set back in the 1880s. You've got good men, tho lprofessor said. "You don't have ltke answers because of the re
 strictions you have placed ol
 them. Take your hands off hin and let him think"
 l The occasion for Prof. ThomT Ison's remarks was his report 2 chairman of the "Evaluating Con |mittee" of a salmon conferent lheld in Juneau last February.

Adolf Eichnlalln Sentenced to Hang

JERUSAI1EM aH Adelf Eich- mann, Nazi Germany's expediter of Jews to the gas chambers, was sentenced today to hang in Israel for "a crime of unparalleled enor- mity"
 Moshe Landau, president of the special three-man Israeli court which tried and convicted the former Gestapo colonel, intoned: 'This court sentences Adolf Eich- mann to death for crimes against the Jewish people, crimes against humanity and war crimes"
 Echiman, now 55 and balding, stood stiffly erect for IS minutes while the tribunal first gave its reasons and then condemned him to the gallows Six hundred per- sons packing the courtroom were deathly silent throughout the brief session, then filed out with hard- ly sound.
 Still the ssblock of ice" Jewish survivors of the Nazi program called him, Eichmann never even gulned visibly. He quieted the facial nervous twitch evident during the trial, and his hands hung loose and unclenched by his side.
 Eichmann, who had scornfully refused to plead for mercy before the sentence was pronounced, was told he has 10 days to file no tice of appeal with the court and an additional five days to draft his reasons.
 Chief defense counsel Dr Robert Servatius from West Ger many was advised if he felt tho time given him was too short : h1ste ccss:l1 ask the president of the Supreme Court or his deputy for an extension.
 Dr. Servatius, already at work on Eichmann's appeal, told the court: "Thanlx you for the guid- ance and I shall think t over"
 Eichmann is the first Nazi to be tried in this state which holds itself as the protector of all Jews in the world.
 Israeli legal authorities say he may be the last one brought to Judgment here. They reason the case has served to chronicle what happened to the Jews during Hit ler's Third Reich, how the plot to exter1ninate the race came into being, and how 6 million Jews died

Bus Driver Charged
 With Manslaughter In Death of 20 School Children

GREELEY, Colo. R = A man. slaughter charge was filed today against Duane Harms, g, driver of the school bus in which 20 children perished in collision with high speed passenger train yesterday.
 The charge was filed by Karl Ahlborn, assistant district attor- ney. Bond was set at $1,000 and Harms was taken to county jail for booking.
 His father, Wilbur Harms of Fleming, Colo, told reporters he didn't know how soon he might be able to raise the bond. Harms, tall, slender, sandy haired man, wore small bandage near one eye, souvenir of the tragedy. He escaped with minor injuries.
 An official of the Colorado Highway Safety Council said poor visibility resulting from frosted windows may have contributed to the accident.
 Thirteen children are in a hos |pital. Four others among the 37 children aboard were treated and released.
 They were in late model, 60. passenger bus sliced apart by thu Union Pacific's 16-car passenge' train, City of Denver, at a rura
 crossing near here.
 The streamliner, 90 minutes lat
 because of Christmas baggage de
 Hays enroute from Chicago t Denver, was travelling 79 mile Ian hour. Railroad officials sai< that was normal speed. Herbert Sommers, 64, a Union Pacific engineer for % years, said l the bus did not stop at the cross ing, marked by wooden crossarms and road sign. Harms, a school bus driver |since last September, said q think I did stop. Well, I'm quite sure, because l usually do" . Jerry Hembry, IS, bus pas senger, said "the bus stopped and then started up again. ?
 Colorado law requires school 5us driver to stop within 50 feet, but not less than 10 feet from the nearest rail, look and listen for trains.
 State patrolmen said the diesel locomotive struck the rear of the bus near the dual wheels. Those wheels and four rear seats were dragged 455 feet down the rail- road. The main section of the bus was hurled 192 feet.

Conflicting Opinion
Serious studies of the deter

One such study was made
three years ago by Clarence B.
Randall for then-President Eli
Senhower. In his report to the
President. Mr.. Randall said:
THE American who can go
abroad but once or twice in a
lifetime wants to buy what he

What may prove to beat
least abroad-one of the most
unpopular acts of the Kennedy
administration is that limiting
to 800 the amount of purchases
a traveller returning from a
foreign land can bring home
duty free.
While the action may serve
to dramatic the need to bal
anee our tourist trade, its &C
tual contribution will be in
finitesmal.
The major harm in the move
is that it comes at a time when
we are getting ready to spend
millions abroad to induce for
eign tourists to visit the United
States, while seeming to dis
courage Americans from travel
ing abroad.
It is going to be downright
embarrassing for officials of the
United States Travel Office to
try to convince other countries
that they should ease money
restrictions SO their citizens can
spend that money in the United
States.
In effect, the new law cuts
from $500 to S100 the amount
of duty-free goods the traveller
can bring home with him.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j.
Vacationers to southern New
Jersey Seashore resorts pass
many farms as they cross the
State. Small wonder this is
known as The Garden State. 4"
A few short miles from sea-
shore resorts an r-chang-
ing picture unfolds as the
seasons pass and new crops
are harveted.
Entering the State via the
Delaware Memorial Bridge the
visitor passes large dairy
farms.
BY this route or coming
from Philadelphia or Trenton
early in the spring the tourist
passes many peach trees in
bloom. There is a heavy con-
centration of peach orchards
in the southern half of the
State with an annual Peach
Blossom Queen" being crowned
in Hammonton, 30 miles in
land.
At the tip of the State on
the road to Cape May Point
is the 60-acre, 41-year-old
Ocean View Dairy Farm. Visi-
tors are welcome on week days.
This is right on the ocean
front. There are other farms
throughout the surrounding
area.
Travelling north, a trip
through side roads leading off
Route 9 and the parkway will
reveal an interesting and edu-
cational picture of what lies
within a few miles of such
resorts as Cape May, Wildwood
and Ocean City.
Large Duck Farm
Leaving Cape May County
and entering Atlantic County
at SomerS Point, along Route
9, there is one of the largest
duck farms in the area. ViSi-
tors are permitted.
Through Atlantic County
there are thousands of farms.
Many blueberry farms line the
side roads. These are not
exactly open to visitors but it
is possible to drive up to many
of them. park the car near
the small shed in the field
and purchase some Just

side dunes are covered with
sea oats waving in the breezeS
of summer, which at this sea-
son blow from the south and
southwest.
Marshes along the National
Seashore and State highways
southwark of Nags Head are
splotched with color-the wild
hollyhockS, pink and white,
are in full blossom.
From the shallow waters of
the marshlands, parent gad-
walls and blackduckS swim
back and forth followed by
their broods, some of which
are already flying in flocks as
August begins.
The parking areas along the
marshes provide lookout spots
for birdwatchers who scan the
waters to watch the duck
families or the many species
of heron, egret and ibis which
wade the shadows in search
of fish.
With parallel highways from
Duck to Oregon Inlet traffic
is no longer a problem as it
was in the old days when only
one crowded and speed con-
trolled highway served tn e
Dare Beaches. But during July
the highways were muc h
travelled.
Even before July had ended
officials at the Wright Broth
ers National Memorial reported
that more than 10000 persons
had visited the first flight site
of Wilbur and Orville Wright.
July, 1861, will make new
travel records in so far as the
National Park Service unit
counts are concerned. Never
before have 10000 persons
been counted as visitors at the
Wright Memorial.
1t is likely also that the
count at Fort Raleigh Ma
tional Historic Site on nearby
Roanoke Island will be a rec
ord for any month, especially
for any July, in recent years.
State Highway officials on
the coast during the past week
announced that two more
ferries would be added to the
Oregon Inlet (NagS Head to
Hatteras Island) fleet on
August 20. The ferries, former
military LCU's have been pur-
chased and are now being con-
verted for ferry use.
The officials announced also
that by January l, 1862, the
new Alligator River Bridge be-
tween Sandy Point and East
Lake on U. S. Highway 81,
which is one of the paved
"gateways" to this coaStland,
will be completed, thus speed
ing traffic from the west.

of the most important of the

Iposal which found unanimous
agreement.
IT therefore again urge that
the duty-free allowance for re-
turning United States tourists
be increased to $1,000 every six
months and that Congress be
requested to approve legisla-
ton for this purpose"
In fairness, it should be
pointed out that even at $100,
the United States is still one
of the most liberal countries in
the world with its travelling
citizens.
The move will have little ef-
feet on the person who travels
often. If he travels as often as
once month, he could theo-
retically bring home up to
81 200 worth of duty-free goods
a year.
The big blow will come to
the once-a-year vacation trav-
eler abroad or, as is more
often the case, the once-in-a-
lifetime vacation traveller.
/ Although some in the travel
industry will dispute this, the
major effect may we'll be on
the purchase of foreign cars.
Exemptions Mount Up
Under the current system,
which the new law will soon
end, a man and wife can, by
combining their major exemp-
tionS, apply up to $1,000 toward
the purchase of a foreign car
before the Is per cent duty be-
gins to apply. For family of
three which would be 81 500, or
one of four, $4,000, and so on.
Although the Virgin Islands
are United States territory,
customs regulations apply to
visitors returning from there.
They are a free port, and only
items manufactured in the
islands are exempt from duty.
An amendment to the law
eXempts the Virgin Islands
from the cut from 5000 to $100.
If you bring home from your
trip more than $100 worth of
goods purchased abroad - or
from the Virgin Islands more
than 5000 worth-you will have
to pay duty on the part that
exceeds those amounts.
Duties Listed
The United States Bureau of
Customs points out that on
popular tourist items those
duties are:
Cameras-15 per cent.
Perfume-between 10 and 20
per cent.
Leather goods-10 per cent.
Jewelry and similar articles
to be worn on the person-35
per cent.
Chinaware and dinnerware-
Is per cent.
Certain furs-35 per cent.
The duty on watches, anoth-
er popular tourist purchase,
depends on such things as the
number of jewels, number of
movements, and type of case.
