There is mo indication of
Russian participation at this
time" in the Red Chinese
military buildup on the Chi
nese mainland opposite For
moSa, Averell Hartman told
the Women's National Demo-
cratic Club yesterday.
The Assistant Secretary of
State for Far Eastern Affairs
conjectured that the Red Chi
nese may hope that the So
Wet Union will support them,
as there is a treaty between
Red China and the Soviet
Union which could be called
into effect"
The former United States
Ambassador to the Soviet
Union said it is almost i'm
possible to say what their
(the Red Chinese) motives
are because we don't know
what their detectives are. 1t
may be defensive; there
might be other reasons"
One evident fact he ex-
planned is that their resources
are limited, especially food
and raw materials, and their
factories have had to cut
production. But. he reasoned,
ANY energy they divert to
other tasks also sets the
country back"
Mr.. Hartman said that
even back in the days of Sta
lin, the Russian dictator
didn't see eye to eye with
Mao Tse-tung, but now
there's more open discussion
between MOSCOW and
Peiping."
Comparing the Moscow
Peiping points of view, he
said it's clear Khrushchev
doesn't want to risk an
atomic war which will lose
the Soviet Union everything
it has worked to build up,
but that Peiping is more
reckless because they haven't
much to lose" This is one
reason why we must watch
with care what Peiping's poll
cies are" he said.
Mr.. Hartman described the
situation in Wet Nam now
as similar to the crisis
Greece faced in 1947, de-
claring that I'm convinced
that if we show in the Far
East the same determine
ton we did with the Marshall
Plan in Europe we can equal
" Illustrate the ambitions Of
Mao Tse-tung and even
Khrushchev."
Furthermore, he said "wher
Red China seems near col.

double our asSistance-and

developed countries and show
them they can achieve theil

At the same time he
branded 'the hotheads in this

rather odd that some Ameri-

but will always be beaten in

Gunmun, 3 Police
Wounded in Bottle

TOLEDO, Ohio, June 9 (AP) .
"A berserk gunman and three
policemen were wounded today
in 15-minute gun battle.
Wounded were Patrolmen
Donald Brown, 80; Frank Hayes,
80; William Boyle, 81, and their
asSailant, Oliver Nickerson, So.
Mr.. Brown, struck in the face
by a blast from Nickerson's S

ton at Mercy Hospital.
Patrolman Boyle's 29-year-
old brother, Walter, was killed
in a gun battle on the city's
east side last December 8.
Officers Boyle and Hayes
were sent to the Nickerson
home today to investigate a
disturbance.
Patrolman Hayes said that
one of Nickerson's sons ran out
of the house and told them his
father had a shotgun. Said Mr..
Hayes:
THAT kid saved our lives. If
he hadn't run up to tellus that
his dad was drunk and had a

When the white-thatched

in the audience to recall the

Mr.. McCloskey dreamed up his
device for swelling party cof-
ferS.

Lea Dy PRESIDENT kennedy,
the Democratic Party paused
last night to pay tribute to its
most lucrative inventor, Mat
thew H. McCloskey, the man
who dreamed up the $100-a-
plate fund-raising dinner.
Mr.. McCloSkey, a Philadel-
phia contractor whose ancestors
came from Ireland, is going
back there as American am
basSador. And the President
who nominated him is reluc-
tant to see him go.
Hes about the only busi-
nessman we have left in the
party" said Mr.. Kennedy.
Looking at former President
Truman, also there to do honor
to the man who separated the
most Democrats from the most
cash, President Kennedy re-
marked that when he was in
the House, he often had won
dered how Mr.. Truman could
get into so much trouble.
Now He Knows
Nov I know" he told the
capacity crowd at the May
flower Hotel. II got a letter
from the president of Bethle-
hem Steel saying I was worse
than Truman"
The Democrats, who had
raised the McCloskey tab from
500 to $3.50 for this occasion,
roared with laughter.
Laughter, in fact, was the
order of the night.
On other occasions, Vice
President johnson might be
grim about what Billie Sol
Estes had done to the fair
name of Democratic Texas. Not
last night.

that there was plenty of good

Texas for refugees from the

Sol and the Edward Kennedy

Mr.. johnson also suggested
that Mr. McCloSkey might find
room for the defeated Mas
Sachusetts Democrats in Ire
land in a sort of reverse migra-
ton.

started, the ebullient Demo-

Actor Peter Lawford the
Presidents brother-in-law, in

and assured Mr.. McCloSkey
that they were saving money on
the entertainment because the
performers were staying at the

Mr.. McCloskey, whose party
was both a thank-you for his
long service as treasurer of the
Democratic National Commit

trip to Ireland, saw a huge cake
wheeled in with a figure on

Stephen E. Smith, another

Wisconsin Town,
Cited in Senate,
Faces Breakdown

MADISON, Wis, June %
(AP).-The furnished fame of
Silver street, which came to the
attention of a United States
Senate committee investigating
vice this week, has earned it
another crackdown-this time
by Wiscontin Attorney General
John w. Reynolds.
Mr.. Reynolds said today that
"it's about time we clamped
down" on little Hurley, a COM
munity Of 1904 residents in
far Northern Wisconsin.
I'VE have plenty of powers
under which we can act" Mr..
Reynolds said. THE problem
is proof that will stand up in
court"
For many years, raids by local
officers and State beverage tax
division agents have formed a
regular part of the social life
along Silver street, where more
than so honkytonks are located
in a five-block stretch. How
ever, the fines and Jail terms
imposed locally have done little
to quell activity.
The most recent national at
tention came with testimony
before the Senate committee
that two teen-age Canadian
girls had been held in virtual
bondage as entertainers in one
OF the Silver street strip joints.

Today, Senator Mundt told a

this is a standard operating
procedure in Government, to
employ these tactics against

Mundt and Curtis were well

VIENTIANE, Laos, June %
(AP).-Prince Souvanna Phou-
ma announced tonight agree
.ment has been reached among
the three Laotian factions on
all points of difference which
have been delaying the inau-
guration Of a coalition govern
ment. Prince Souvanna. who
will head the coalition, said
the cabinet will be installed to-
morrow.
Thus the off-again, on-again
plans for establishing joint
rightist neutralist leftist role
over this troubled land to make
it neutral in the cold war ap-
peared once more to be on.
Other Agreement Failed
The latest previous COM
promise agreement among the
factions collapsed after less
than "a hours.
Phoumi Vongvichit Of the
pro- Communist Pathet Lao
group told newsmen that Gen.
Phoumi Nosavan, leader Of the
pro-Western right-wing fac
ton, had reversed himself and
once more insisted that the
royal decree installing the new
government include mention of
the conservative dominated Ma
tional Assembly.
Mr.. Vongvichit said in addi-
ton a disagreement had de-
veloped over two other consti-
tutional points relating to in
auguration Of the coalition
headed by neutralist, pro-Com-
munists and right-wingers, with
Gen. Phoumi and Prince Sou
phanouvong, leader Of the Pa
tibet Lao, as deputy premiers.
New Obstacle
Mr.. Vongvichit reported the
new obstacles after a one-hour
meeting with Prince Souvanna
and Gen. Phoumi.
The right-wing leader had
announced last night that the
three factions had settled their
differences. Gen. Phoumi said
then he had withdrawn his in
sistence that the installation
decree specify that the coali-
