McCarthy Claims Red China Rejects P MeCarthy Claims Army Produced ‘Phony’ Charts WASHINGTON (UP) — Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy accused the Army today of producing “phony” charts of Pvt. G. David Schine’s passes, by Schine’s former commander declared that the charts told the truth. The charts were introduced in the 20th day of the televised Army-McCarthy hearings to show that Schine got 16 passes at Fort Dix, N.J., in a period when the average trainee got only six. McCarthy did not dispute these figures. But he complained that the pass record on Schines charge was marked heavily in black while that on the chart for the average trainee chart was not. McCarthy asserted this was a “dishonest” and “phony” attempt to deceive the television audience. He and an aldee went over the charts making black marks on the “typical” trainee’s record. Army Defends Charts Maj. Gen. Cornelius E. Ryan, Fort Dix commander, testified that Schine was given the passes at the request of staff members of the Senate Investigating Subcommittee for which he was an unpaid consultant until he was drafted Nov. 3. Ryan said this was “absolutely not” improper on the part of MoCarthy and his subcommittee aides, since Army Secretary Robert T. Stevens had authorized passes for committee work. But he insisted the story told by the charts was true. He said he supplied the information on which the charts were prepared. “I don’t see anything dishonest about them,” Ryan said. “They reflect the truth. They are not inaccurate and misleading.” Red China Rejects For Indo-China Truce GENEVA, Switzerland — Communist China reject Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru’s proposal for an immediate fire in Indochina, informed Geneva conference sources daily. Red Chinese Premier—Foreign Minister Chou En-Lai turned down the two-point plan after it had been presented to him by V. K. Krishna Menon, India’s roving ambassador. The plan, according to the sources, called for: 1. An immediate halt in the fighting. 2. Formation of a good offices committee composed of Asian neutrals to aid the two sides in working out a political settlement once the truce became effective. Chou's action was disclosed as the East and West prepared to start the mechanics of a cease-fire at the ninth session of Indochina peace talks. Consults Cabinet Agreement to get down to details on the cease-fire was reached at Monday's session after French Foreign Minister Georges Bidault offered a formula that bypassed the deadlocked issue of treating two of the Indochinese states — Laos and Cambodia — separately from the third, Viet Nam, as the West demands. Bidault presented his plan after urgent weekend consultations with Premier Joseph Laniel's French cabinet. Optimism over the Red agreement to get to work after weeks of stalling was offset, however, by the controversy over separate settlements for Laos and Cambodia. U.S. Undersecretary of State Walter Bedell Smith had wanted to take up the Laotian and Cambodian issues ahead of the Viet Nam problem because they would be easier to resolve, permitting the ‘Angel of Dien Bien Phu’ Tells of Capture by Reds When Fortress Fell HANOI, Indochina (UP) — Lt. Genevieve de Galard-Terraube, the “Angel of Dien Bien Phu,” was nursing the fortress’s wounded when a Red rebel soldier entered her underground dispensary and told her the fight was over, an Indochinese newsman said today. The newsman was not permitted to question the “Angel,” but he said he heard her talking to Prof. Pierre Huard, organizer of the mercy airlift of the wounded, while flying from Luang Prabang to Hanoi. Genevieve, who wanted to remain at Dien Bien Phu until the last wounded defender was evacuated, returned to freedom Monday, appearing pale and thin but smiling warmly. The newsman said Genevieve told Huard that the khaki-clad soldier who entered the dugout and those who trooped in later acted with extreme respect. She said that at all times between the day Dien Bien Phu fell, on May 7, and the time she flew to Luang Prabang she had been given every opportunity to aid and comfort the French Union wounded. Dien Bien Phu fell on a Friday. On the following Sunday morning two rebel women entered Genevieve’s tent. One wore the emblem of the Communist Red Cross. The other was dressed in a flowing gown on which appeared a portrait of the late Josef Stalin. Ordered To Hanoi Shortly before the women arrived, the 29-year-old heroine of Dien Bien Phu received a letter from her chief, North Front Air Commander Gen. Jean Dechaux, ordering her to Hanoi. In a rare act of mercy, the Reds, under instructions from Red Chieftain Ho Chih Minh, had promised the French to free her but she remained behind voluntarily until receiving the direct order). The woman in the long gown told Genevieve she was president of the Communist Viet Minh Union of Women, which had petitioned Ho for the brave nurse’s release. Both rebel women attempted to propagandize Genevieve as they escorted her to the airstrip for her flight to Luang Prabang. “The imperialist war is a lost war,” they told her. “Our troops are at the gates of Hanoi. We are the army of the people.” Upright weekend consultations with Premier Joseph Laniel’s French cabinet.

(UP) — Gary Crosby, 20-year-old son of singer Bing Crosby, was recovering today from injuries received in an auto accident that took the life of a Mexican national and injured five others. Attendants at O'Connor Hospital said young Crosby might be released today if he continues to improve. They said his condition was "good." Gary suffered a lacerated nose and knee in the accident, which took place on the Bayshore Highway near here early yesterday. Bing drove all day yesterday from Shasta County in northern California, where he had been fishing, to be with his son. "The boy's pretty good," he said. "He's a healthy fellow." Bing said the accident probably will not interfere with Gary's summer radio show. Gary was scheduled to take over as his father's summer replacement for 16 weeks. He was to record his first program Sunday for release June 6. The accident also injured Crosby's companion, George Labreaux, 21, San Jose State College student. He was treated for ear and chest lacerations and released. Killed in the accident was Felix Oliveres, 24, Santa Clara, a passenger in a car driven by Jesus Hernandez, 30. Three other passengers, including an 11-year-old girl, were taken to the Santa Clara County Hospital. Deputy District Attorney Margaret Morton said no charges will be filed against Crosby.

U.S. May Use Military Office Training Native Forces in India WASHINGTON — The United States and France ing the possibility of using American military officers to help train native forces for the war in Indochina. Informats said the idea of increasing the native gram, perhaps with American help, was reviewed within the past week by Maj. Gen. John W. (Iron Mike) O'Daniel and Gen. Paul Ely, French chief of staff, who made an emergency survey trip to Indochina. O'Daniel is head of the U.S. military assistance advisory group in Indochina. France in the past has refused to accept large-scale American help in training native troops. But the French might agree to change their previous stand if the United States is successful in lining up support for a collective action program to defend Southeast Asia against Communist aggression. Britain Shows Interest Informed sources said the slow-moving project has been picking up steam since Britain has shown new signs of interest in view of the East-West deadlock at the Geneva conference. Meanwhile, State and Defense Department officials headed by Secretary of State John Foster Dulles asked a bipartisan group of representatives to give them authority to spend foreign aid funds in Southeast Asia next year wherever they can be used most effectively. Chairman John Taber (R-NY) of the House Appropriations Committee said the administration middle of Jackson Lake by Justice of the Peace Ruiz. Rulings Made by Supreme Court ATLANTA (UP)—A prospect of broad changes in racial barriers confronted segregated areas across the nation today as a result of the Supreme Court's rulings yesterday. The court followed up the ban it issued last week against public school segregation with decisions involving racial barriers in higher education, public housing and public recreation. While the courts new decisions involved six specific civil rights cases in widely separated states, the South's militant opposition to racial mingling predicted the effects would be felt throughout the region. Talmadge Protests Gov. Herman Talmadge of Georgia predicted the court eventually will "knock down every principle affecting the white and Negro races and finally will overthrow the South's laws against inter-racial marriage. Talmadge also predicted that President Eisenhower would suffer politically in the South from "guilt by association" because of his appointment of Earl Warren as Chief Justice of the United States. In three decisions the court left standing lower court judgments which open a white junior college in Texas to Negroes, admits Negroes to a white housing project in San Francisco, and opens golf courses in public parks of Houston, Tex., to Negroes on a segregated basis. RESIGNATION ERROR It was learned today that Clyde Morris, member of the Magnolia elementary board of trustees did not resign his position on the board as previously reported in a brief article in Saturday's Bulletin. Meanwhile, State and Defense Department officials headed by Secretary of State John Foster Dulles asked a bipartisan group of representatives to give them authority to spend foreign aid funds in Southeast Asia next year wherever they can be used most effectively. Chairman John Taber (R-NY) of the House Appropriations Committee said the administration "doesn't want us to tie its hands by marking specific sums for specific countries in that area (since) they say they don't know at this moment where they might want to use it." The administration has asked for about 1-billion dollars to finance the anti-Communist fight in Indochina in the year beginning July 1. Under the present bill, five-sixths of this would be handled through France.

TEMPLETON joins local bank Gerald Templeton Named Local Banking Assistant Gerald L. Templeton has been elected an assistant branch manager of Security - First National Bank's Anaheim Branch accord WASHINGTON (P) — Secretary, of State John Foster Dulles said today that the Communist arms shipment to Guatemala could be intended for use in building up a military strongpoint near the Panama Canal. Dulles said that the important Guatemalan situation is whether Guatemala is being subjected to Communist colonialism. "The extension of Communist colonialism to this hemisphere would, in the words of the Caracas resolution, endanger the peace of America," he said. Fast Action Possible Dulles said that if hostilities should break out in the Central American area, we would expect collective action under treaty obligations to stop them. He said that a meeting of the American nations could be called on 24-hours notice and, in such an event, he would anticipate possible action speedily. Discussing the recent shipment of arms from Poland to leftist Guatemala, Dulles said the shipment "was effected under conditions which are far from normal." Secrecy Involved He said the arms were cleared for Dakra, Africa, but "the operation was cloaked under a series of chartering arrangements so that the real shipper was very difficult to discover." Military sources said that more U.S. arms are expected to follow two rush plane loads dispatched to neighbors of Guatemala. The Central American country recently was supplied with arms from Iron Curtain sources. The United States acted with uncommon speed to fly small arms, ammunition and jeeps to Nicaragua and Honduras, demonstrating the grave view this government takes of a recent, 2000 ton weapons shipment from the Soviet sphere to Guatemala. State and Defense Department officials disclosed the airlift operation yesterday. This country's military aid agreement with Honduras was signed only last Thursday and a similar agreement with Nicaragua is scarcely more than a month old. Often it is a matter of months before actual delivery of military equipment to an ally follows signing of an agreement. In this case, the government was moved to almost immediate action by the receipt of Red supplies in Guatemala within the past 10 days and "rumors" that two other ships Trial of Anaheim City Clerk Opens In Superior Court SANTA ANA — A jury of five men and seven women today began hearing evidence in a County Grand Jury accusation that City Clerk Charles E.

The jury was impaneled late yesterday in Superior Judge Robert Gardner's court and then dismissed until today. The jurors include Anthony J. Stark, Charles O. Bundy, George C. Larson, Harold Jolly, Edmund Sparet, Violet Jean Boyce, Hazel M. Wightman, Vivian W. Borns, Elizabeth M. Campbell, Norma Rhoads, Edith Lyon and Lorena B. Weis. First witness to be called to the stand today was Eugene L. Gilbert, who last summer was a resident of the annexation area and who now lives in Seattle, Wash. His wife, Carol, followed him to the stand. They were questioned by Prosecutor Kenneth Williams as to how they received absent voter ballots allegedly without having asked for them. The Grand Jury claimed in its accusation that Clerk Griffith had mailed out ballots which were not requested.

NEW YORK (UP)—Haile Selassie I, emperor of the ancient African land of Ethiopia, arrived today for an American visit that was regarded as a gesture of friendship with the West and of non-sympathy with Communism. The frail, black-bearded emperor came here at the invitation of President Eisenhower and will fly to Washington in the President's private plane Wednesday for three days of state ceremonies, including an address to a joint session of Congress. Heightening interest in the visit in this atomic age was the emperor's announcement last week that his country—the oldest Christian realm on Earth—now has been found to contain high grade uranium ore. It was expected that during the emperor's two-month visit it would be announced that he has reached agreement granting the United States military bases in Ethiopia for 99 years. Ethiopia and the military aid agreement with Honduras was signed only last Thursday and a similar agreement with Nicaragua is scarce more than a month old. Often it is a matter of months before actual delivery of military equipment to an ally follows signing of an agreement. In this case, the government was moved to almost immediate action by the receipt of Red supplies in Guatemala within the past 10 days and "rumors" that two other ships may be en route with more. Asked whether the air shipments were hastened by Guatemalan developments, State Department Press Officer Lincoln White said, "yes." He added that action on the arms agreements with the two countries was being "facilitated as rapidly as possible."
