Kennedy Move
Burs Rail Strike
BY the Associated Press


President Kennedy has
blocked a threatened Nation
wide railroad strike Monday by
the 6,000-member Railroad
Yardmasters of America.
Mr.. Kennedy invoked the
Railway Labor Act yesterday to
delay any walkout at least GO
days. He set up an emergency
board to air the dispute and
make settlement recommends
tions in 80 days. An additional
30-day no-strike period is pro-
vided for negotiations.
Invoking emergency provi-
sions after a strike threat has
become a more or less standard
way to get rail disputes settled.
The President named Harold
M. Gilden, Chicago attorney,
as chairman Of the emergency
board. Other members are Will
liam H. Coburn, Washington
attorney, and the Rev. Leo
Cyril Brown, st. Louis Univer-
sity economics professor.

Johnsons Buy
Mestu Mansion

Vice President and Mrs,
johnson have purchased Mrs.
Perle Mesta's house, Les Ormes
in Spring Valley.
The contract for the white
French Provincial styled house
was signed late yesterday.
The sale ended a five-month
search by the Johnsons for a
residence suitable to his new
post as Vice President.
The sale price was under
100000 and includes, it is un-
derstood, the fine old Venetian
cartoons that line the dining
room walls. Cartoon is the
name given to paintings used
as patterns for tapestry
The sale was effected by the
Tyson Realty firm in conjunc-
tion with the Mrs. Sophia
Wanamaker firm.

Rocket to Venus
May Be Signaling

JODRELL BANK, England,
May 20 (AP). - The giant
radio telescope here picked up
vague and indistinct signals
today which might have been
sent out by the Soviet space
rocket which, if still on course,
should be near the planet
Venus.
Certain unidentified signals
were received in the appropri-
ate frequency band, but we
can't tell Immediately whether
they were from the rocket, /"
said Prof. Bernard Lowell, di-
rector Of the station. "Tape
recordings are being sent to
scientific colleagues in Moscow,
and they are the only ones who
could assess whether the sig
nails were connected with the
Venus rocket"
The rocket, launched Feb
ruary IL, was due to pass
within $4,000 miles of Venus
this morning. It's radio went
dead, some time ago but the
Russians say a reserve COM
munications system was sup
posed to begin operating
yesterday.

Big Manila Fire
Races a Blocks

MANILA, May 20 (Ap).--A
spectacular fire, the worst to
hit Manila in so years, razed
more than four blocks of the
city's market district today. in
Juring scores of persons and
causing more than $50 million
property damage.
President Carlos P. Garcia
ordered all government relief
agencies to help the victims.
The conflagration ragged for
IL hours and left 5000 persons
homeless in the commercial
district of Binondo, heart of
Manila's Chinatown. Business
men hard hit included textile
retailers and wholesalers.
More than 200 persons were
arrested for looting and police

Not All Invaders
Are Accounted For

council group and, they say
the chief protege of CIA.
Implications for future Amer
ican policy are great. MRF
leaders claim they saw the EN-.
bryo of an alternative to the
invasion policy in the Ken
nedy administration before the
April II landings.
1t was in the white Paper
on Cuba released by the State
Department on April 3. It.
theme was that Fidel Castro
had betrayed a genuine socia,
and economic revolution which
could not be turned back. Il
took sides with early members
of the Castro government whit
have broken with the totali.
tartan system imposed in tn,
name Of reform.
This position, they point out
fits into the Alliance for Pro-
greSs" for the Americas an
nounced by President Kennedy
1t would seek to contain Castro
and communism by sustaining
the very revolutions through
out Latin America they plan
to use.
Coincident with these Ameri.
can policy pronouncements
MRP leaders maintain, theil
underground movement began
attracting great interest in Of
ficial quarters here.
Slow Approach Vindicated
Today Mr.. Ray and his sup
porters believe their alternative
to outside invasion did moi
have time to crystalize in the
new administration. The need
to overthrow Castro seemed toe
urgent, his economic and mill
tary support from the Soviet
bloc was growing too rapidly,
and the invasion plans were
too far advanced. The alterna-
tive OF co-ordinating internal
subversion and sabotage with
relatively minor support-land-
ings seemed too slow and too
unpredictable.
In their eyes the outcome
has vindicated the slow, in
ternal approach. They would
like to see President Kennedy
adopt a two-pronged approach
to communism in this hemi-
sphere: l. Mend fences in Latin
America against Castro by rapid
implementation of the al
lance for Progress" 2. Rely on
Cubans inside Cuba to over
throw Castro at a time and in
a manner they choose.
That would mean maximum
help to the islands UNDER
ground from the outside. It
would also mean a complete
change from the strategy which
governed the abortive invasion
of April II.

New Regime Takes
Anti-Red Measures

seizing the capital early last
Tuesday.
Although the reserves were
80 or more miles from the
front line, sources left no dount
that the U. N. Command con-
sidered their movement a mu-
tiny against Gen. Magruder'S
authority.
The new military regime de-
creed strict anti-Communist
measures, saying increased ac-
tivities of the Communists and
their sympathizers brought
clear and present danger to
the nations security"
Any Communist activity is
outlawed in South Korea. The
new measures are similar tc
those vainly sought by the
ousted government and led tc
protest demonstrations.
Seoul Mayor Fired
Tightening it's grip on the
capital, the junta fired elderly
Seoul Mayor Kim Sang-don
replacing him with Brig. Gen
Yoon Tail, one of the five
engineers of the coup. Two
days ago Gen. Yoon was named
commander of the front-line
South Korean 9th army.
Seven of ex-Premier Chang!
cabinet ministers plus the chief
cabinet secretary were picked
up by MP's just before mid.
night and taken to the city's
West Gate prison.
The junta also arrested 1e
of 18 prosecutors named by the
old government to try former
officials who served under
strongman Syngman r h ee.
Mr.. Rhee was overthrown a
year ago in a student-led re-
volt. The military then stood
on the sidelines.
Corruption Charged
The prosecutors were told
they were being arrested for
allegedly engaging in corrupt
practices during their investi-
cations of the former Rhee Of
ficialS.
Families of the cabinet min
listers confirmed their arrests
which followed by IL hours
Gen. Chang's statement that
former officials would be pun
ished for any past crimes.
Charges against the ministers
were not known.
The status of five missing
ministers was unknown but
they were believed in hiding.
JailS throughout the nation
filled as the junta cracked
down. The latest official count
had $500 in custody. These
included $500 so-called hood
lumS and $50 suspected of
leftist leanings.

The initial session lasted an
hour and 40 minutes. The only
announcement made by either
side afterward was that the
next meeting would be held here
Tuesday.
There was a stir in Paris dur
ing the noon hour when the
cable linking Evian and the
capital failed. There was imme-
diate fear of bomb sabotage, butt
the cable was restored As min
utes later and Evian reported
all calm. There was no expla-
nation why the cable failed.
III general, President Charles
de Gaulle has instructed Mr..
JOKE to negotiate for an
Algeria that will be fully in
dependent yet linked with
France through cultural and
economic ties and guarantee
the safety of the one million
Europeans living in the vast
territory.
While both the French and
the rebels agree in principle
that the future of Algeria
should be decided through
"self-determination," there are
many major obstacles to put
ting the principle into practice. /
One such obstacle is whether
or not the oil-rich Sahara is to
be treated as an integral part
of Algeria.
In Algeria and Paris, city
streets were noisy with the
bombings and gunfire of both
violent European settlers op-
posed to the peace negotiations
and Algerian rebels agitating
against the French.
Nearly 10000 troops and riot.
police guarded the port city of
Algiers after a night of violence
in which % bombs and gre
nadeS exploded.
The only reported casualties
were two passersby injured by a.
grenade hurled in the streets
OF Bab-el-Oued, Algiers' worker
section.
To the west. the city of Oran
was reported quiet in the wake
OF a savage battle in the CEN
ter Of the city last night. Troops
and police fought European
settlers protesting against the
opening of the peace talks.
European settlers - angered
because Switzerland is the host
to the Algerian rebel peace
delegation-invaded the Swiss
consul'S office in Oran last
night and burned his files.
Heavily armed French troops
broke up the mob after the
rifle butts and tear-gas gre
nades of riot police could not
cope with the demonstrators

and were evacuated-are close
ly guarded secrets.
One island the two exile lead
ers visited is Vieques, where a
United States Marine Base is
located 80 miles from Puerto
Rico. That base has since been
closed to anyone who does not
have a special pass from Wash
ington.
Reports are that remnants Of
the invading force were taken
there for "debr:efing" and
quarantine until the storm over
the adventure has quieted some
what. These men hold many
missing pieces in the puzzle over
the preparation and conduct of
the invasion.
Tough Lessons Learned
The future usefulness of these
soldiers in any similar type
military operation against
Castro is considered all but nil
in exile circles. For the debacle
at Cochines Bay has taught
the Cuban exile leaders some
tough lessons.
The first: No drive against
the Castro dictatorship can
succeed without organized sup
port from inside Cuba. The
basic defect Of the previous
operation was that it came
entirely from the outside with
inflated hopes for turning
nebulous internal discomfort
into wholesale disaffection.
The second: The groups who
did not participate in the in
vasion have been least dis
credited. This means primarily
Manolo Ray and his MRP fol-
lowers, who argued against the
invasion from the beginning.
Tried to Do Too Much
Some of the Cuban exiles
claim the April II operation
failed because their American
"allies" tried to do too much
not only to overthrow Mr..
Castro, but also to dictate
the form and substance of the
political system taking his
place.
They argue that the struggle
is basically a Cuban struggle
to be decided from inside Cuba.
They welcome American sup
port through guns and ammu-
milton, but they want no strings
attached.
Paradoxically, these Cubans
on the Left are the ones who
have suffered most from the
invasion. They do not gloss
over the fact that 1t has done
irreparable harm to their un-
derground. The damage is both
physical and psychological.
They maintain that the mas
sive roundup by Castro after
the attack did not break the
nucleus of their organization.
But it did capture much valu-
able equipment and peripheral
personnel. Furthermore, the
police squads have spread a
goodly amount Of terror.
Potential Help Lost
MRP leaders indicate that
many Cubans who were just
beginning to oppose the. Castro
regime actively now refuse.
These reactions do not por-
tend well for the future of the
Cuban Revolutionary Council.
All members claim they still
support it. But from the be-
ginning in March, disunity in
the council was only plastered
over with promises to reform
the rebel operation. These
promises died in the swamps
around Cochinos Bay.

groups outside the council are

GENEVA, May 20 (AP). -
Secretary of State Dean Rusl
took off by plane for Washing
ton today, leaving the Ameri
can delegation at the East
West conference on Laos IL
the hands of Ambassador at
Large Averell Hartman.
Mr.. Rusk was seen off b!
Mr.. Hartman and Arthur
Dean, head of the American
delegation in the three-powe,
nuclear test suspension talk
also in progress in Geneva.
Later Mr.. Dean also headed
for Washington to report to thu
President on the deadlockeC
nuclear talks, expected to b
one of the subjects discussed
by Mr.. Kennedy and Premier
Khrushchev when they meet il
vienna two week nom today.
The American Secretary diC
not make any statement upor
his departure.
Months of haggling over Lao
looms before an agreement car
be reached to guarantee that
Southeast Asian country's fu'
ture as an independent ant
neutral nation.
Mr.. Rusk plans to return tt
the Laotian conference wher
and if the negotiations ap'
proach an agreement.
The Laotian talks were the
first East-West conference fol
Mr.. Rusk. He came to Geneva
for the NATO meeting in Oslo
earlier this month.
Diplomats from other coun-
tries said Mr.. Rusk handled
himself well both at Oslo and
Geneva.
Will Go With Kennedy
The American Secretary will
have only a short stay in
Washington before accompany
ing Mr.. Kennedy late thi'
month on his visit to Paris fol
talks with President de Gaulle
and then to Vienna for discus
sions with Mr.. Khrushchev ano
finally to London for a meeting
with Prime Minister Macmillan
Reports Of armed clashes
and political uncertainty in the
jungle kingdom weigh e d
heavily on the delegates at the
14-nation conference here.
Complaints that the shoot
ing is still on have not been
settled. The International Con-
troll Commission on the spot is
still short of the transport 1t
needs to keep a close check on
the truce.
1t was only on condition that
the firing stop that the United
States and its allies came to
the conference. There is always
the possibility that they will
walk out if it does not.
LaOtians May Meet
Another difficulty is that
Laos has no unified govern
ment to represent it at the
conference table with the 13
other nations at the meeting
There were reports from Vien-
tiane, the Laotian capital, that
pro-Western, Communist and
neutralist politicians are con-
sidering a summit meeting
among themselves here in
Geneva.
But until they can get to-
gether. delegates say, the con-
ference can make no firm de-
cisions.
Starting four days late, the
international parley began
this week with all delegations
East, West and neutral, pro-
Tossing they want independence
and neutrality for the 2 mil
lion Laotians. What threatens
trouble is disagreement about
the meaning Of those goals and
how to reach them.
There are signs that the con-
ference will go into low gear
for a while. Attention is shift
ing to the Kennedy -Khrushchev
meeting. The next session is
scheduled for Monday after
noon.

The New Wave may have as
much to answer for as the
Method before long. In evidence

called unique. 1t resolves around
a first-rate performance by
Lola Albright and its director
Alexander Singer. has given it
the look and feel Of real life.
Unfortunately. these are not
enough.
Miss Albright plays a strip
tease dancer Tor maybe it's a
former Striptease dancer) who
spends her summers in New
York not working and trying to
appear respectable. The hand
some 17-year-old son of the
janitor comes up one day to
fix the air conditioner and Miss
Albright's girl comes all apart
at the seams, painting with pas
sion. She plies him with ice
cream until she can talk him
into sampling stronger stuff
that will dissolve his defenSes.
She's going to teach him there
is more to life than playing
stickball in the street with the
other fellows.
This, admittedly is a switch
from the normal direction of
cinema seduction, but, again. II
is not enough.
Director Singer presses for
ward in his exploration Of this
sordid affair, though, and soon
the boy thinks he is in love
with the woman upstairs, who
is happy to have him think so
Unfortunately, however, she
has taken a job over in Jersey
to get her ex-huSband out of
a jam and you know who turns
up to witness the shameless
hussy's shameful performance

Moviegoers with easily Sus-
pended credulity will find
Come September" reminiscent
of such relatively recent ro-
mantle comedies as Pillow
Talk" and Operation Petit
coat"
1t has the same elegance of
production, setting, and ward
robe. What it lacks is the mini
mum of plausibility that these
possessed. The effect of this is
frequently to leave poor Gina
Lollobrigida and Rock Hudson
dangling from limb after limb
of banality. The joke of the
film often is more on, than of
them which may leave admirers
of a little logic feeling testy.
Such a bubble is rapturously
ignored by everybody engaged
in the film at the Warner and
Ambassador Theaters. After
all, there they all are working
in the bright sun of the Italian
Riviera and In a villa that rep
resents the apex of Mediterra-
mean luxury.
AS the screenplay goes, this
place belongs to Hudson, ar
American reputed to be the
richest bachelor in the world
He comes there every Septem.
Der to keep an informal rem
devious with Miss Lollobrigida
This time, arriving early, he
finds that the butler has turn
ed the place into a lush pen
stone which just happens to be
filled with American adde's
cents whose parents can afford
the best.
This is a farce situation with
multiple possibilities but theil
development calls for more re-
Taxed playing than Director
Robert Mulligan can coax from
his decorative cast. Miss Lollo-
brigida, effervescently Roman
is at ease in her work and SC
is Walter SelZak as the butler
with aspirations to run his own
hotel.
The scenes they dominate
can be, and frequently are
cheerfully farcical. AS for the
others, including Hudson who
did so well in PILLOW Talk
they work as If the screenplay
needed their assistance too des-
perately. Among these are San.
dra Dee who seems to be in
every other picture, Bobby

presence suggests Come Sep
