Legion Chief
Sees Rebuff
For Chino

THE admission Of Red China
into the United Nations should
not be accepted as inevitable"
American Legion commander
william r. Burke said last
night.
Speaking to members of
Congress and delegates to the
National Commanders Confer
ence at a dinner in the Statler-
Hilton, Mr.. Burke declared, 81
cannot believe that the small
nations are going to invite the
tiger into the house." He ex-
pressed concern at the posi-
ton the United States might
be placed in in the new drive
he said is building up to seat
Red China in the U.N.
The Legion commander spoke
to 1,700 guests, including 400
members of Congress, who were
honored at one of a series of
week k-long conferences held by
the organization in Washing
ton.
THE American Legion" Mr..
Burke asserted, like the
American people, has supported
the United Nations, and has
urged that it be strengthened.
Admission of Red China would
be in violation of the charter
of the U.N. and would trag-
ically weaken the instrument
which has been created to
bring the conscience Of man
kind to the defense Of small
nations against encroachment
by the great powers.
Mr.. Burke said the United
States cannot tolerate a
stronghold 80 miles from its
border and pledged the Ameri-
can Legion would support the
administration and the Con-
gress "in any and all meas
ures, including the use of
force" to end the "intolerable"
situation in Cuba.
The commander presented
awards to Robert M. McCurdy
of Pasadena, Calf, and Jer-
ONE F. Duggan of st. Louis,
for their work with Legion
commissions. The Legion was
presented the flags of the SO
States by former Secretary OF
Defense Louis Johnson, a past
Legion commander.

BUT BACK TO THE
TULIPS, which were the
cause of the party.
The stately flowers. ar
ranged in numerous bouquets
and placed about the first
and second floors, had been
flown in the day before by
the tulip producers of the
Netherlands.
One Of the varieties shown,
a carefully developed hybrid
called Hollands Glory"
was making its debut at the
Embassy yesterday. Intro
duced in Holland two years
ago, it was described by an
Embassy official as "red
bronze" but looked flame
colored in the artificial lights.
The new hybrid dazzled
Mrs. John Duncan, jr., who
was present with her hus-
band, the Assistant Secre-
tary Of Agriculture.
The tulip season is now at
its height in Holland. Nor

cold, rainy weather has
slowed their growth. Actual

Mrs. van Roijen, because the
more gradual their progress,
the more beautiful the
blooms. Look for them after
the first warm day.

and Mrs. van Roijen will give
a second Tulip Reception for

The 20 or more varieties
of tulips on display at the
Netherlands Embassy last
night got some stiff compe-
tition from Soviet AmbaSsa-
dor Mikhail Menshikov.
AS a master attraction, the
Russian envoy probably had
the edge.
The man from the country
with the first astronaut made
an early appearance at the
annual Tulip Reception
given by Netherlands Am
bassador and Mrs. Van Roi-
jen. He stayed about an hour
and throughout that time
was. understandably, the lion
OF the party.
Modest in victory, Am
bassador MenShikov correct
ed somebody who praised his
nations achievement. 1T is
a universal achievement" he
said. But he looked mighty
pleased as the congratula-
tions rolled in.
Everyone is very nice
about it," he observed.
He heard of the successful
space flight, he said, on an
8 am. news broadcast. What
he learned from the Ameri-
can press was supplemented
by cables from Russia
throughout the day.
ASKED IF THE NEWS
had touched off as jubilant
a reaction at the Embassy as
it did in Moscow, the Ambas-
Sador said there was plenty
of excitement, but no COL
lective rejoicing. Z
mo celebration? No cham
payne toast for such an occa-
sion?" a guest exclaimed. Mr..
Menshikov replied with a
grin, 1--WE drink whatever
we like-before, during and
after"
The Soviet Ambassador
said whimSically he thought
it would be nice "in 10 to is
years perhaps" to "go see
which star we like the best.
From here they all look
alike"
Among those who gathered
around Ambassador MenShi-
kov at different times were
Mrs. Chester BowleS, wife Of

Justice Runs Into q Tight Fit

LOS ANGELES, April Z (AP) =.
1t isn't fitting, say police, to

meanor check charge.

Officers in suburban Lynwood

Clyde w. Childers, 5 feet 8 and
100, towering over Beasley-
with gun in hand.
Childers said he was a special
deputy sheriff from Kosciusko
County, Ind. He also is a bail
bondsman for the company that
lost it's bond when Beasley
jumped bail.
Childers said he had been
trailing Beasley for more than
a year-and finally cornered
him in the motel, firing three
shots to impress Beasley with
the seriousness of his intent,
if not his size.

Judge Doubts
Youth Quizzes
Police Station
Queries Dropped
By DANA BULLEN
Star Staff Writer

Juvenile Court Judge Orm w.
Ketcham today released an
opinion rejecting serious
doubts about the truthfulnesS
of children's statements during
police interrogation.
In the case, which involved
assault charges against four
boys. the judge refused to re-
ceive evidence of discriminating
statements allegedly made by
the youths at police stations.
The opinion discusses only
the boys assault case. How
ever, police officials are ex-
pected to interpret the 11-page
memorandum as general policy.
Similar written opinions, a
court official said, have been
handed down by Judge Ketch-
am only four or five times dur
ing the past two years.
New Policy Seen
Earlier, the judge said he
would receive evidence of state
made by the children to
police on the way to police
headquarters but not those
made after arrival there.
The judges remarks were in
terpreted as launching a new
policy in Juvenile Court closely
paralleling the adult Mallory
rule, which bars statements
made during unnecessary de-
lays before a defendants ap-
pearance before a judge.
Judge Ketcham said after the
boys trial earlier that it was
the place where the interroga-
ton was conducted rather than
the time element that con-
cerned him.
The judge said, however, he
would accept evidence of state

Planes Chute

Report Discounts
Rebels Retreut;
Highway Is Prize

VIENTIANE, Laos, April Z
(AP) -Four Soviet planes have
dropped more rebel troops and
material near the royal army
headquarters at Wang Vieng
north of this capital, a govern
ment spokesman said today.
The announcement contra
dicted earlier reports that the
Communist Pathet Lao had
given up an attempt to seize the
headquarters, 30 miles from
Vientiane.
Acting Information Minister
Tao Sopsaisana said he was
unable to say how many rebel
troops were dropped yesterday
near Wang Vieng. But in a
similar operation earlier this
week, the rebels parachuted less
than 300 troops into the area.
The official said the informa-
ton on the new drop came from
Gen. Kouprasith Abhay. COM
mander in the area, who re-
ported yesterday his forces were
pushing north from Wang Vieng
with a mile-long column of
rebels in retreat before them.
He said the royal forces ad-
vanced 20 miles without en-
countering resistance.
Royal Troops Reinforced
Gen. Kouprasith had said the
rebels apparently abandoned a
drive on Wang Vieng, which
lies on the main north-south
highway between Vientiane and
the royal capital of Luang Pra-
bang 140 miles to the north.
The new airdrop by Soviet
nyushin transport planes in
dicated the rebels intend to
stay put despite reinforcement
of royal troops by a parachute
drop earlier this week.
The sudden paratrooper ac-
tivity on both sides appeared
to be an attempt to consolidate
positions and gain new ground
before an expected cease-fire
call haltS the struggle.
The main prize is the Wen
tiane-Luang Prabang highway.
A company of pro-Commu-
mist Pathet Lao infantry at
tackled royal troops Wednesday
on the highway, Gen. Koupra-
sith told newsmen, but broke
and ran when counterattacked.
Morale Reported Improved
Royal troops, their morale
all but shattered by rebel VIC
tories in recent months, were
reported to have perked up at
their success and the airdrop
Wednesday of 500 paratroopers
northwest of Muong Kassy, on
the rebels flank.
There was no indication the
paratrooperS had gone into ac-
ton but they presented flank
ing threat to the rebel drive
south. Military observers in
Vientiane viewed the airdrop as
a spectacular gesture to let the
rebels know the government
has a will to continue the fight
if the Pathet Lao refuses a
cease fire bid.
American helicopters, deliv-
cred a week ago from a United
States Marine base at Udorn,
IThailand, went into action with
the royal troops, ferrying sup
plies to the front lines and re-
turning with wounded.
Gen. Kouprasith said he was
elated over the turn of events
because 10 days ago the rebels
southwark drive threatened to
overrun Wang Vieng. He said
that with the aid of another
government column moving
south, he should soon have con-
troll of the Muong Kassy-Vang
Vieng area.
