Khrushchey Does Not Attend Red
 Showdown Meeting

MOSCOW R-Premier Khrush- chev today conferred in Kiev with Foreign Minister Paul-Henri Spaak of Belgium on easing East-West tensions.
 KhruShchev met with the former Secretary-General of NATO hun dreds of miles from Moscow, ap- parently to demonstrate his aloof- ness from the showdown talk be- tween the Soviet and Chinese Com munist parties, now going on here
 The studied snub was empha- sized by the nature of the con- ference. Tass said it was a con- tinuation of the conversations the two men had in 1861. That was when Khrushchev withdrew his deadline for signing peace treaty with Germany and turning West Berlin into an internationally con- trolled free city.
 The Chinese have violently op- posed Khrushchev's policy of try Ing to cO-eXlSt pedcefully Wltn the West. The meeting with Spaak was a dramatic demonstration of this policy.
 In Moscow, Soviet and Chinese delegates met at a walled villa on the hills at the city's edge The press of both countries ignored mention of the session.
 Western correspondents were kept at distance from the villa. Soviet police stood guard to see that no pictures were taken as cur tained limousines Whisked the ne gotiators through the gates.
 Efforts to get information from the Chinese embassy also proved fruitlesS. Western neWsmen were told embassy officials were too busy to answer questions.

WASHINGTON LP - Is astro- naut John H. Glenn thinking about attempting a political orbit - per haps in next years race for the US. Senate?
 Glenn, fl, replies to such specu- lation that he has no time for politics. A spokesman for the Ma tional Aeronautics and Space Ad- ministration comments the politi- cal guess-work about Glenn sounds like trial balloon.

By the Associated Press

Traffic accidents killed at least 553 Americans during the long Independence Day weekend, a record for the holiday.
 A Sunday squirt in highway fa- talities sent the toll beyond the record 509 mark of 1861 well before the midnight deadline for the four day period,
 The final tally for the 102- hour period from 6 pm. Wednes- day to midnight Sunday local times fell within a death count span estimated by safety experts before the holiday period.
 The National Safety Council, in pre-holiday statement, estimated 55O-560 persons would die in traf- fife accidents during the long week end.
 Tt has been a costly weekend in terms of accidental death and injury, breaking all records for a summer holiday weekend" said Howard Pyle, council president.
 The wicked part of it is that at least 70 per cent of the damage was done through avoidable situa- tions: Speeds too great for con- ditions, failure to yield right-of- way, violation of the centerline in the road, and drinking an d driving"
 The councils figures show that traffic deaths in the first five months of this year have averaged 100 per day.

By the Associated Press

Racial violence in New York and Baltimore overshadowed peaceful integration steps taken Sunday by two widely separated churches.
 A white teen-ager was wounded earlier today by a gunshot from a passing car near a Bronx diner which had been the scene of a racial disturbance earlier. The boy, Jack Cippolla, Is, of the Bronx, told police the gunman was a Negro. Cippolla suffered a flesh wound in the right cheek.
 The diner is being picketed by white and Negro members of the Congress Of Racial Equality CORE is demanding that the diner chain, White Castle, hire more Negroes.
 Early Sunday, some persons in a crowd of several thousand, most ly teen-agers, hurled rocks, eggs and tomatoes at the pickets. Short ly before the shooting, police dis persed a crowd of several hundred white youths in the area
 Baltimore police arrested more than 100 white and Negro inte- grationists - including 13 clergy men - at privately owned amusement park in suburban WoodlaWn while about 5000 white patrons hurled catcalls and ob- scenities. The integrationists were charged with trespass.

Judge H. Gilbert Named to Third
 Division Bench

JUNEAU LP - The appointment of Judge Hugh A. Gilbert as a Superior Court Judge in the Third Judicial Division at Anchorage was announced today by Gov. Vim. Egan.
 Gilbert, formerly Superior Judge for the Second Judicial Division at Nome, fills a seat in the Third Division authorized by the legis- lature.
 Gilbert's name was submitted to Egan by the Judicial Council, along with the name of one other mem Der of the legal profession, whose name was not disclosed.
 The constitution provides that the Judicial Council recommend two or more qualified persons to the governor for appointment to vacancies on the Superior Court bench.
 Egan said he believed Gilbert was nominated by the council be- cause of the need for an experi- enced jurist in the Third District, which has a large case backlog.
 Gilbert, 48, is native of Ft. Cobb, Okla, who first came to Alaska in 1946. He has served in both the Territorial House of Re- presentatives and the State Sen ate.
 Prior to his appointment to the Superior Court bench at Nome on Nov. g, 1859, Gilbert had prac- ticed law in Sitka and had served as US. Attorney and City Magi- strate at Fairbanks.

SAIGON, Viet Nam LR - South Viet Nam's American Press Corps
 has appealed to President Ken
 nedy to support a protest against manhandling of neWsmen by Viet- namese secret police.

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
By WILLIAM MORRIS

Q. Perhaps you can shed a
little light on the mystery Of
Lady Godiva's dresses. In our
local paper the following ap-
peared: 'Danville. 80 Virginia's
modern version Of Lady Godiva
Is scheduled to stand trial in
the Municipal Court Thursday
on a charge Of driving while
under the influence of intoxi-
cants. The S5-year-old woman
differed from her Legendary
counterpart In that her only
covering were brief underpants
instead Of dresses and she was
riding In a car rather than on
a horse"
That's the first time I ever
knew that Lady Godiva was
wearing a dress when she took
her famous ride. Somehow this
belated revelation takes some
OF the zip out Of the famous
tale. What say2-J. E. G.,
Washington, D. c.
A. Put the zip back into the
story-and we don't mean zip
per, either. What has hap
pened here Is that an over
Jealous copy editor has "cor-
rected" the unfamiliar word

viously what the writer Of the
dispatch meant was that the
modern Godiva was clad in
underpants rather than tresses.
Every newspaperman has his
own list Of words that he
doesn't dare use In copy be-
cause ne knows from past ex-
perience that similar "correc-
tons" will be made. The
word "bathos," for instance,
almost invariably appears as
"pathos." Career" in the
sense Of a car rushing madly
out Of control, becomes "ca-
reen" and so II goes.
But the copy editors, bless
them, tidy up many a piece Of
careless copy and merit the
thanks OF every one who writes
for print-so much so that we
can even indulge their occa-
slonal errors Of overzealousness

Not everybody would have
bid the South hand as am.
bitiously as Noreen Walsh, Of
Beverly Hills, one Of the new
young crop Of tournament stars.
Still, not everybody would have
had a partner bidding the spots
off the North cards. The mel
result was a very unlovely slam
contract.
Without a diamond lead Mrs.
Walsh could have run the clubs
to discard dummy's singleton
queen Of diamonds. Unfortu.
nately, the bidding drew a blue
print for the opponents. West
opened a diamond, and East
took the ace. Now declareI
needed the rest.
When East returned a club
Mrs. Walsh resisted the tempta.
ton to let II ride to dummy
The slam did not depend on
club tricks. South needed fl.
nesses In both spades and
hearts and had to lead both
suits from her own hand.
Takes Club
Mrs. Walsh won the second
trick with the ace Of clubs and
led a heart to win a finesse
with dummy's queen. So far, SO
good.
The next step was to over
take the queen Of clubs with
the king and lead a spade. West
played low, and Mrs. Walsh
won a finesse with dummy'S
jack.
The trumps broke evenly,
and one ruff set up dummy's
hearts, 50 all ended well. East
and West didn't think it was
such a good ending. There's
no pleasing some people.

Partner opens in third posi-
ton with one spade, and the
next player passes. You hold:

on you for too much after your
