Exercise Your Right as An Say Ike to Decide Soon On Entering Indo War WASHINGTON (UP)—Key congressional sources said today that President Eisenhower may decide in a matter of days whether to ask Congress for authority to intervene directly in the Indochina war. A ranking Republican senator said the fateful decision appears imminent. He said the Communist drive into the Red River delta area means the administration has far less time than it expected to weigh the heavy issues involved. A high Democratic source in the House also said the administration seems to be getting ready to ask Congress for the necessary authority to intervene. He said he expects Mr. Eisenhower to submit the request within 30 days. Dulles Prepares Answers Secretary of State John Foster Dulles meanwhile prepared answers for his weekly news conference this morning regarding a published report that the United States proposed twice during April that it intervene in Indochina with air power but plans fell through when the British balked. The report, carried in a copyrighted dispatch in the Washington Post and Times Herald Monday, said Mr. Eisenhower had been prepared to submit the air intervention plan formally to Congress April 26. It said key congressmen already had been informed of the plan and had objected to the United States acting alone. Official "Leak" Hinted The Democratic representative who would not permit use of his name, said the report appeared to be part of an official "leak" to get Congress and the American noose. STATE Cohn Says Steven Was 'Pressured' For Protection WASHINGTON (UP)—Roy M. Cohn testified today he does not believe Army Secretary Robert W. Stevens was "codding Commissars" when the Army-McCarthy feud broke out. But Cohn insisted that Steven was under pressure to protect some army people who were covering up for Reds. The Army-McCarthy hearings, their 29th day, apparently were heading for an early climax. Amy counsel Joseph N. Welch said he planned to cut short his questioning of Cohn, McCarthy subcommittee counsel, in order to hurry up testimony by Sen Joseph R. McCarthy and Francis R. McCarthy. Local Girl Hurt In Auto Crash ORANGE (OCNS) — An Anaheim girl and an Orange Coast College student are hospitalized today with major injuries after a two-car broadside collision at Newport avenue and Bristol Road. Miss Maggie Martinez, 19, of 506 East Cypress St., Anaheim, who was a passenger in a car driven by Sylvester Arreguil, 18, Chino, is in Orange County Hospital with a severely lacerated knee and a possibly broken knee cap, according to the California Highway Post and Times Herald Monday, said Mr. Eisenhower had been informed to submit the air intervention plan formally to Congress April 26. It said key congressmen already had been informed of the plan and had objected to the United States acting alone. Official "Leak" Hinted The Democratic representative who would not permit use of his name, said the report appeared to be part of an official "leak" to get Congress and the American people in the proper frame of mind for intervention. He expects the "leak" to be followed up within 30 days by a request for authority to intervene with air and naval power. Many congressmen feel that unless the administration acts within that period Indochina may be lost to Communist rebels. They note that the Communists are driving speedily toward Hanoi at a time when the Western Powers had been counting on seasonal monsoons to halt Red activity. Rep. Francis E. Walter (D-Pa) said in a radio interview Monday night that he believes a "vast majority" of Congress favors American air strikes in Indochina. He said, however, that he is not sure the use of troops would be approved.

Carr his staff director. The Army-McCarthy investigators were urgently looking for an end to the hearings. Night Sessions Talked Chairman Karl E. Mundt (R-SD) called for all parties to submit a list of prospective witnesses by Thursday noon. He said "we're near the point where night session will be necessary if we can't agree on some target date for quitting limiting the number of witnesses or both." McCarthy said he would "settle for almost anything if they agree on a target date." Other highlights of today's session: 1. Cohn agreed that the U.S. armed services "are wonderful and that the U.S. government is in the hands of "patriots and no traitors." Under questioning by Army counsel Welch, he also agreed that the Army is ready to fight Communist both at home and abroad. 2. Cohn swore again that Army counsel John G. Adams threatened to circulate an "embarrassing" report about Cohn's activities in behalf of Pvt. G. David Schine if McCarthy did not call off investigation of alleged Army subversion. 3. The investigating subcommittee discussed but did not act on proposals to wind up the hearings. Target dates included Friday or Saturday or early next week.

Orange County Plain Dealer ☆☆☆ BULLETIN TUESDAY, JUNE 8, 1954 VOL XXXI NO. 247 R PRIMARY ELECTION Light Vote Expected At Polls By JAMES C. ANDERSON United Press Staff Correspondent SAN FRANCISCO (UP)—Voters went to the polls in surprisingly small numbers today to nominate the officials who will govern California for the next four years and represent the state in Washington. Despite the importance of the election and the weeks of campaigning by both parties, only about half of the state's 5,664,688 registered voters were expected to ballot before the polls close at United Press Staff Correspondent SAN FRANCISCO (UP)—Voters went to the polls in surprisingly small numbers today to nominate the officials who will govern California for the next four years and represent the state in Washington.

Election officials at Anaheim's 41 polling places today reported a moderate turnout for the primary election. Although other parts of the county reported little—and some no activity, Anaheim voters were expected to report in about the same percentage expected statewide — between 45 and 50 per cent. p.m. everywhere except San Francisco where the closing times is 8 p.m. Every major office in the state was at stake except that of Sen. William F. Knowland. Principal Contests These were the Principal contests: Governor: Incumbent Republican Goodwin J. Knight against Democrat Richard P. Graves. U.S. Senator: Thomas H. Kuchel, the Republican incumbent appointed to the post by former Gov. Earl Warren, against Democrat Sam Yorty, a Los Angeles congressman. Lieutenant governor: Republican Harold J. (Butch) Powers, the incumbent, and State Assembly Speaker James W. Silliman and Superior Judge Frederick F. Houser of Los Angeles, both Republicans, plus Democrat Edward R. Roybal, a Los Angeles councilman. Congressional Battles House of Representatives: All 30 seats with the hottest fights in the 26th (Los Angeles) district, where James Roosevelt was battling eight other contenders, and the 6th (Contra Costa-Solano counties), in which the incumbent, Democrat Robert L. Condon, was in a nip-and-tuck race. In addition, 20 of the 40 seats in the state Senate were at stake as well as all 80 seats in the Assembly, four posts on the Board of Equalization and the offices of attorney general, controller, secretary general, treasurer, and commissioner.

Dulles Charges Reds Stalling at Geneva WASHINGTON (UP) — Secretary of State John Foster Dulles charged today that the Communists are dragging their feet at the Geneva Far East Conference while intensifying military operations in Indochina. Dulles told a news conference that this gives the lie to professed Communist desire for peace. He declined to say how much longer the Western powers should sit at Geneva and let the Communists prolong negotiations. 26th (Los Angeles) district, where James Roosevelt was battling eight other contenders, and the 6th (Contra Costa-Solano counties), in which the incumbent, Democrat Robert L. Condon, was in a nip-and-tuck race. In addition, 20 of the 40 seats in the state Senate were at stake as well as all 80 seats in the Assembly, four posts on the Board of Equalization and the offices of attorney general, controller, secretary of state, treasurer and superintendent of public instruction.

Legion Head Backs All-Out Asian War SAN FRANCISCO (UP)—National Commander Arthur J. Connell of the American Legion says the Legion believes an all out war "with no Yalu barriers" is necessary to preserve democracy if the United States decides to intervene in Indochina. He admitted yesterday that a full fledged conflict in Southeast Asia now would probably lead to a third world war. But Connell said the Legion believed a third all out battle may be necessary to preserve democratic freedom. The Legion is flatly against further limited police actions such as the Korean conflict he said. "We want to do everything possible which will result in victory," Connell said. "We want no Yalu river barriers such as in Korea and we advocate the use of all weapons at our disposal, including the A-bomb and H-bomb."
