committee voted against send

for a vote.
Within an hour after the
committee acted by 9-6 vote,
the President told a news con-
ference he would send a re-
organization plan to Congress
to establish the department by
executive order unless either
branch of Congress vetoed it
within go days.
Some top House Democrats
predicted the reorganization
plan would be defeated by roll
call . vote. They expect a
majority of Republicans and
most Southern Democrats to
oppose it.
While there was no official
confirmation, there was a we'll
based suspicion that the Rules
Committe action did not make
the new House leadership un-
happy.

tain defeat. Mr.. Mccormack
made no such request of Rules
Chairman Smith of Virginia,
one of the four Southern
Democrats who voted against
the bill.
Instead, it was learned, Mr..
Mccormack merely requested
that the committee take action
first on a bill to provide
Federal aid for college class
room facilities construction.
Mr.. Smith yielded to that
request and the committee ap-
proved the school bill, giving
Mr.. Mccormack a victory on
the first bill he brought be-
fore the committee. Mr.. Nc
Cormack did not seem cha
grined or surprised when in
formed of the Rules Committee
action on the urban affairs
measure.
Democrats hope to make con-
siderable political hay out of
the committee action. They
believe the fact that committee
Republicans opposed the urban
affairs bill 100 per cent, While
Democrats backed it 60 per
cent, will hurt Republican elec-
tion chances in big city areas
where the G. o. P. hopes to
pick up House seats in Novem-
ber'S elections.
At the same time, the Presi-
dents statement that he would
name a Negro to head the new
department if it is created

Only IL of the 28 chiefs of

were expected to be repre-

because of the governments

The chiefs of state were to
take up an undisclosed proposal
on the Algerians but there was
no expectation that the boycott
ting delegates would reverse
their decision and fly to this
West African capital at the last
minute. The former French colo

Orthodox primate, Archbishop
Iakovos, resigned today under
Greek government pressure. A
spokesman for the Holy Synod

interference in church affairs. "
His resignation came after a
bitter controversy following
charges levied against the 60
year-old Archbishop by a Greek
Orthodox archmandrite, a gen.
eral and an admiral. The ma
ture of the charges was not
disclosed, repeatedly because of
their delicate nature.
400 Priests Defend System
Earlier, about 400 Orthodox
priests met in Athens Cathe-

proposal to change the system
under which the Archbishop is
now elected. The government
threatened to take such actor

MYSTERY MAN OF THE CANYON
Death Fails to Reveal Secret

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, Jan.
rs (AP).-A probate hearing
. next month may shed some
light on a strange. silent man
: who lived alone for many years
In a stone castle high in Laurel
Canyon.
Hjalmer Lindquist, rs, died
last New Years Day.
But even in death there was
confusion about this mystery
man of the canyon-confusion
caused by two conflicting wills.
. Mr.. Lindquist, a cement
mason, built his castle on
Wonderland avenue 26 years
ago. He not only built it him
self, he kept it to himself.
longtime Laurel Canyon resi-
dents say that, so far as they
know, no outsider ever was in
vited to the castle. And, until
his fatal illness, none of the
neighbors ever exchanged a
word with the owner in more
than two decades.
Left Gifts for Women
The most popular theory had
1t that Mr.. Lindquist suffered
from the heartbreak of an un-
happy love affair in his young
.er days.
&, Despite his passion for pri-
vacy, Mr.. Lindquist wasn't an
unfriendly man.
In 1912, two spinster sisters
Luise and Marian Squire
moved into the house next door
to the castle. Although they
never spoke with him, he often
left gifts on their doorstep.
During the war years the gifts
were ration stamps or a supply
of sugar. On one occasion,
after the sisters had helped
save Mr.. Lindquist's castle from
a brush fire, they found a sew
ing machine outside their door.
I, when we moved into our
house." Luise explained, 1--WE
were told that Mr.. Lindquist
preferred to be by himself. We
respected his wishes because he
was such a wonderful man."
E, Then came last December %
and-as Luise tells it:
>. MY sister was outside ard
she heard a tapping on Mr..
Lindquist's window. Then she
saw that poor. bony hand at
the window. The old man had
, lost 40 pounds"
q Asked for Help
Mr.. Lindquist spoke his first
words to the sisters when he
asked, Help me, I'm ILL.,"
;. The sisters called an ambu-
lance and Mr.. Lindquist was
taken to a hospital. He died
three days later.
: In back of the castle was Mr..
-Lindquist's gold NINE" a short
tunnel into the hillside. A sign
warned squatters to beware and
the door was always padlocked.
: After Mr.. Lindquist's death,
1t was found to contain a guam
.tity of preserved fruit and a
copy of a will dated December
9, 1861, leaving all of his pos
sessions to the Squire sisters. i
, But a second will was subse-
quently produced. It was dated
December 80, 1881 and it be-
queathed everything to Edith
'Thorene of Hollywood, Mr.. Lind
,quist's lsister. &#B i 2
A hearing on the two wills Is
set for February 27 in Superior
Court. ~ 4 #
! Officials said Mr.. Lindquist
appeared moderately well-to-do|
but extent of his estate was
not known.

African Summit Urqed
To Back No MeddIinq'

LAGOS. Nigeria, Jan. 25
(AP).-Nigeria's Governor Gen
eral, Nnamdi Azikwo, opened
an African summit conference
today with an appeal for all
African states to declare pub
licly their adherence to the
policy of nonintervention in the
internal affairs of each other"
The African continent is a
miniature United Nations and
must adapt to Africa the
tested principles which guide
the world organization, he
added.
This is very vital today" he
declared, when the magnets
of economic imperialism and
neocoloniaIism are drawing the
Western and Eastern blocS of
the cold war to intensity their
struggle for hegemony in
Africa" ~ said the Nigerian
leader. - -,s .
The conference, which met in
Nigeria's National Hall. may
not accomplish much. African
heads of state were slow in
arriving, and at least seven of
the % invited nations are boy
cotting it.
& Seven Reject Bids
Mr.. Azikwo said 81 states with
a population of 1876 million were
represented, while seven states
with a population of So million
had declined bids because the
rebel Algerian government was
not invited.
He listed the seven as Tunisis
and Libya, plus the five
so-called Casablanca states
United Arab Republic, Morocco
Mali, Ghana and Guinea.
He did not mention Sudan,
which previously had been listed
as not attending.
Foreign Ministers who met
here earlier this week to plan
the summit conference ex-
pressed doubt that any major
success could now be achieved
The conference is expected tc
take up proposals for an African
common market similar to. the
successful six-nation European

Report Cuban
 Grocery Store Shelves are Bare

MIAMI, Fla. R - Cuban gro- cery shelves have practically nothing but insecticides and sugar, a British journalist said Satur- day, arriving here from weeks stay in Havana.
 Richard Beeston, correspondent for the London Daily Telegraph, said, Cuban government off, cials are not honoring ration cards. There is no meat and no eggs. An English chap, a friend of mine, told me the last egg he ate was on Jan. 24."
 Beeston said food could be ob- tained in restaurants, "but the quality is bad and it is terribly expensive"
 A shortage of automobile re- pair parts also is plaguing the Cuban government, Beeston re- ported. He said "cars are break ing down all over"
 The Englishman said Cubans are still being told Americans are going to invade their island. ssIt is quite likely this is being used to keep the people in state of crisis so they will forget food and other shortages Beeston commented.
 He said the militia personnel were in quantity throughout Ha- vana, but that military defenses were not so evident.
 Another noticeable factor is the fact that there is little men tion of Prime Minister Fidel Castro. You just see him around. But he and his brother Raul de- finitely appear to be in the back ground Beeston said.

 ''Why don't you Democrats fol- low the wishes of your party leader?" Phillips asked. He only asked for $200,0o0 for this pro- gram next year"
 This IS an unprecedented and fragrant misuse of the taxpayers, money Sen. Howard Pollock said. Why should every tax payer be required to contribute to the Democrat war chest?o
 Sens. Pearse Walsh and Lester Bronson said the Rural Develop ment and Depressed Area pro gram was one of the best things which has ever happened for the states small villages.
 The projects aided by this program are necessary. These two bills mean bread, milk and rss es to many people, 7 Walsh S.
 ssq vohn Coghill told the Sen ate ASs felt the depressed area funds sssould be used in connec- tion with the federal Area Rede- velopment program.
 "The development of industry is the thing which is important to Alaska" Coghill said, mot a handout program, a welfare pro gram"
 Closing the argument before the Senate vote, Sen Howard Bradshaw, one of the prime au- thors of the two bills, said:
 Welfare is not the answer to our unemployment and underem- pioyment problems. These bills will give Alaskans the opportun- ity to work on necessary public work projects and earn money.

AIR FORCE IN ALASKA GETS MORE AND FASTER TELEPHONE SERVICE

s'The need for more and faster telephone service for the Air Force in Alaska has now been met"
 Thus voiced Maj. Gen. Wendell Bowman, Alaskan Air Command commander. following the com pletion of long distance tele- phone call to the commander o1 Fort Yukon Air Force Station north of the Arctic Circle, from his headquarters at Elrnendort Air Force Base near Anchorage, some 400 miles distant.
 Gen. Bowman, one of the Air Forces top communications ex- perts, had made the call in a mat ter of seconds using the new Alaskan Switching System - di- rect distance dialing telephone network.
 Long familiar to many tele- phone subscribers in the United States, the direct dialing system is first for the military in Alaska. It was placed in opera ton yesterday, shortly after mid- night. Previously, Air Force units in Alaska had been connected by long distance private lines and manual switchboards, with White Alice the core of the network.
 It is Col. Harold Hughes unit, the Alaskan Communications Re- zion AFCS) headquartered at FL rnendorf, that will have the re- sponsibility for the operation and maintenance of the system.
 Under contract to USAT for the past several months, the Western Electric Co. has had 30 teams of specialists busily install ing switching centers, automatic switchboards and other equip ment at some 65 locations through out Alaska.

WIEN AIRLINES ASKS
 FOR ROUTE BETWEEN FAIRBANKS AND JUNEAU

WASHINGTON R Wien Alaska Airlines asked the Civil Aeronautics Board Saturday for a route between Fairbanks and Juneau.
 Wien said that part of Alaska which it serves has access to Ju. neau primarily through twice a-week connecting service with Pan American Airways at Fair banks. It said this is less than the amount of service required.
 Wien added that service be- tween Fairbanks and Juneau by way of Anchorage usually in- wolves an overnight stay in An- chorage and costs almost 30 per cent more-an additional $25-- than direct service one way.
 Wien said it's proposal would have little effect on Pan Ameri- can Airlines, which currently is authorized to operate between Fairbanks, Whitehorse and Ju- neau.

MIKOYAN GETS SILENT
 TREATMENT IN BERLIN

BERLIN M The people of East Berlin received Soviet De- putty Premier Anastas Mikoyan in silence Saturday = silence so deep it had the appearance of a planned snub.
 The Communists drummed up thousands of spectators. But there were far from enough to fill the streets as Mikoyan drove through the city after arriving at the air. port from Moscow.
 Mikoyan, who also is foreign trade minister, came for the Leip- zig Fair. He was accompanied in a closed car by East German Com munist chief Walter Ulbricht. Po- fish Premier Jozef Cyrankiewicz and Czech Deputy Premier Otakar Simunek followed in another closed car.
 There was hardlysa a sound as the cars drove past. The absence of enthusiasm was so conspicuous, it looked almost like sponstane- Ous anti Communist demonstra- ton although many in the crowd wore Communist party buttons.
