Failing Dulles Visited by Ike At Army Hospital WASHINGTON (UPI) — Associates of cancerstricken John Foster Dulles said today that, barring a miracle, he will have to resign as Secretary of State. They based their conclusion on reports from his physicians and developments in Dulles' case during the past week at Hobe Sound, Fla., where he has been resting. Persons who talked with the 71year-old diplomatic warrior since he re-entered Walter Reed Army Medical Center Sunday reported him weaker now than when he left Washington just two weeks ago for his Florida "rest and recuperation." President Eisenhower and Dulles' brother, Director Allen W. Dulles of the Central Intelligence Agency, visited the secretary at the hospital during the noon hour. No Definite Date The President, interrupting his golfing vacation in Georgia, went directly to the hospital from the airport. He came to Washington to make three talks today and Tuesday, and to see Dulles. There was no indication, however, how soon a final decision on Dulles' future would be made.

He came to Washington to make three talks today and Tuesday, and to see Dulles. There was no indication, however, how soon a final decision on Dulles' future would be made. High officials said that if the decision is to resign, as they expected, the successor would be Undersecretary Christian A. Herter, who has been acting secretary. Dulles, following radiation treatments for his abdominal cancer, had hoped to regain enough strength to continue his duties for a while. As recently as last Wednesday, he was reported determined to try to return to his post and lead the American delegation to the foreign ministers' meeting at Geneva starting May 11. He had been arguing against the advice of his physicians, who doubted that he would be well enough to undertake the rigorous Geneva meeting. Tests Being Made But after an X-ray examination in Florida Thursday, his Army doctor who had accompanied him south insisted that the secretary return to Washington as soon as possible for a thorough check-up at Walter Reed. The tests began there. There was speculation that Dulles' decision to resign and Eisenhower's designation of a successor would come soon after doctors evaluate the results of the conclusive check-up. Eisenhower's aircraft was used to bring Dulles here from Florida Sunday. Dulles appeared thin and drawn as he stepped from the President's plane, Columbine III, but he told reporters, "I feel fine." Vice President Richard M. Nixon greeted him at the airport. May See Ike Eisenhower was described as "very disturbed." He was expected to visit Dulles at the hospital today when he returns from Augusta, Ga., for a 24-hour round of engagements before resuming his vacation there. Administration sources insisted the question of Dulles resigning from his State Department post had not come up in his most recent conversations with Eisenhower. The President was pictured as primarily concerned at this time about the secretary's health and not with the problem of whether Dulles would return to the State Department hurry.

The President was pictured as primarily concerned at this time about the secretary's health and not with the problem of whether Dulles would return to the State Department helm. State Department Press Officer Lincoln White, who visited Dulles at the hospital, said "it is now desirable he have a period of further medical observation." White declined to comment further. But other sources told United Press International the additional observation apparently was necessary to determine what further treatment for Dulles was required.

Officers were called to 11972 Samuel Dr. when it was reported a fight was in progress. Reports show that La Rue and his wife were visiting Dr. Mrs. Jack Osborn of that address when La Rue began to walk with his mate. The Osborns and La Rues are related.

La Rue was given first aid for his injuries and then ported to Orange County Jail where he was booked. Knight Calls for Liberalized GOP By WILLIAM F. TYREE United Press International LOS ANGELES (UPI) — Former Gov. J. Knight broke a five-month silence today after sharp warning to California's Republican Party it must reject some of its conservative leaders base a political comeback on progressive tactics. Knight intends neither to be the GOP's elder statesman nor its messiah, but he will try to assist in its "liberalization" by slugging it out with the Democrats when the proper time comes. "From experience, I know that whenever the Republicans present a progressive program they have been rewarded by the voters," Knight said pointedly as he relaxed in his new role as private citizen. "I believe we can restore this position, and that is my political ambition. I don't intend to be a candidate for any office." Knight, now 62, spoke without bitterness over his defeat at the polls last November.

The court said Nye was offered $100,000 to kill Castro. Nye denied all the charges. After his conviction, Nye was told he would be shot on sight if he stayed in Cuba more than 48 hours. "Where is the way out?" Nye asked. Before midnight he was in Chicago. Nye, tanned and smiling, told newsmen at the airport he felt the whole affair should be considered closed. "I expect no further reprisals against me or my government," he said. "I am not bitter. I hold no animosity toward anyone. There were a lot of hotheads and rebels serving under Castro. There were some Communists involved, but Castro is not a Communist." The charges against Nye were read to the public trial by Lt. Jose Antonio Suarez de la Fuente, the prosecutor, who demanded the death sentence. Suarez charged that Nye arrived in Bayamo in Oriente Province last Dec. 17 with a telescopic rifle and a pistol to carry out the "physical elimination" of Castro. He called Nye a "traitor" to Castro's 26th of July Movement. He said Nye was a member of the movement but had burned three airplanes intended for delivery to Castro's forces who were fighting the regime of Fulgencio Batista, now deposed and living in the Dominican Republic. During most of the trial, the revolutionary government's chief executioner, Capt. Herman Marks, an ex-exconvict from Milwaukee, Wis., hung over Suarez' shoulders with his hand on his holster, watching Nye. Nye said he had come to Cuba only to join the rebels and had informed them of a plot to kill Castro. But he insisted he had nothing to do with this plot. He said he just wanted to be a pilot against the Batista forces. Living In View Apartment "I'm not mad at anybody," he told United Press International in an exclusive interview at Park La Brea Towers, where he had moved to a 12th floor view apartment. He thumbed through a book on "Theodore Roosevelt and the Progressive Movement" as he sat wearing a gay sports shirt in his leather chair overlooking "Puzzle-town," his description of the jigsaw effect of the several towers of the fashionable housing project. Talkative Housekeeper Costly to Bartender A local bartender who prefers to remain anonymous was taken for a total of $1,409.11 by a housekeeper whose name he does not even know. According to police a friend approached the man and asked if he would like a housekeeper to keep his place in order. The bartender said that he would, and the young lady in question duly proceeded to devote her daylight hours to sweeping, dusting, mopping and other household chores which men find tiring. Like other women, she also liked to talk. That she did like to talk was ascertained when the telephone company called the bartender and told him that unless he paid his bill they would discontinue service. He asked what they meant, and they replied that he owed them the $1,409.11 for a number of calls to Rhode Island and other points, made at the rate of nine to fourteen a day over a nine-day period at a cost of about $140 per day. The housekeeper, who has disappeared, cannot be handled by police action, since the laws says that a homeowner is responsible for his guests (this apparently includes employees). No matter how messy his home may become, the victim has vowed to do his own housework in the future.

Resign Post Bulletin Anaheim Daily-Herald April 13, 1959 Phone PR 4-7870 TEN CENTS ON A-TESTS Moves to Break Talk Deadlock GENEVA (UPI)—The United States today asked Russia to accept an immediate ban on atmospheric atomic explosions and settle the question of underground tests later. Moves to Break Talk Deadlock GENEVA (UPI)—The United States today asked Russia to accept an immediate ban on atmospheric atomic explosions and settle the question of underground tests later. The U.S. move to break the long-standing nuclear conference deadlock was put forward by Ambassador James J. Wadsworth as the three-power discussions resumed here after an Easter recess. The atmospheric ban, which would reduce the problem of radiation danger, would cover explosions up to 30 miles in altitude. It thus would not cover the type of outer-space shots completed last September in the U.S. Argus Project. Western sources said after a short 70-minute conference opening session that Wadsworth had indicated if the Russians accepted the atmospheric ban, a further agreement on stopping underground explosions could be worked out later. The U.S. proposal appeared to signal a major shift in western nuclear policy worked out during the three-week Easter break. Both the American and British delegations have insisted in the past that only a comprehensive ban on all atomic weapons tests, both above and below ground, would be acceptable. But the difficulties of winning Russian assent for the close inspection required to supervise an all-inclusive ban has led to insistent pressure, particularly in Washington, to settle for something less. The Russian delegation's initial reaction to the latest American offer was negative. Soviet sources said the Wadsworth proposal, which presumably had full British backing, violated longstanding Soviet demands for a complete and all-inclusive ban on all tests.

Orange Woman Killed in Crash ORANGE (OCNS) — Orange recorded its first auto fatality of 1959 Sunday night when a 46-year-old Orange woman died at Orange County Hospital. Mrs. Clementine Ryan, 46, of 17852 Serrano Ave., died as a result of severe head injuries sustained in an accident at Vista and Glassell late Saturday night. Mrs. Ryan was a passenger in a car driven by her husband, Charles, 48. Both Ryans were reportedly hurled from their car as it collided with a station wagon driven by James Wallace Ruberg, 32, of 1034 North Grand Street. Ruberg stated he was coming home from work in Fullerton, south bound on Glassell St., when he saw a car coming out of Vista Avenue. "All I saw was lights coming at the side of me, and then I was bouncing around," Ruberg told police. When officers arrived, the Ryan couple was sprawled on the pavement. Mrs. Ryan was lying in a pool of blood. The injured woman and her husband were rushed to Orange County Hospital. GUNMAN FORGETS ONE SMALL DETAIL NEW YORK (UPI) — Donald J. Krista, 24, held up a motorist Sunday, stole his car, gunned the motor for a fast getaway and roared 20 feet in reverse until he smacked another car. "I guess it wasn't such a good idea." Krista told arresting police. "I don't even know how to drive." HOLLYWOOD (UPI) — James Gleason, who rollicked and wise-racked his way across the nation's stages and screen for all but two months and a couple of Army pitches of his 75 years, died Sunday night. The veteran actor underwent surgery last December and went to the motion picture home in the San Fernando Valley to convalesce. Gleason, whose family tree was liberally sprinkled with stage celebrities, came into the word in the proverbial theater trunk in New York on May 23, 1883. His father, actor-producer William Gleason, gave him his first part at the age of two months. At the age of 5 young Gleason starred in the touring play "Stricken Blind." At the age of 16 he felt the call of adventure and joined the Army, living about his age, and fought through the Philippine Insurrection. He started as a bugler and ended up as a tough sergeant. Gleason rejoined his parents who then were running a stock company at the old Liberty Theater in Oakland, Calif. There he met and married Ingenue Lucille Webster. She died in 1947. The couple toured for several years and finally hit New York where Gleason appeared in two silent pictures. Gleason returned to the Army when trouble broke out along the Mexico border and stayed in the service until the end of World War I. He served with distinction in the field artillery and emerged first lieutenant. He returned to the stage and later acted, produced and managed stock companies. He appeared for nearly every studio in Hollywood. Lucille Gleason also carved herself a career in Hollywood, appearing in many films, including one with her husband and their son, Russell.

FIRING SET TODAY Three Satellites Poised for Flight WASHINGTON (UPI) — The United States plans to launch three more earth satellites today—two from Cape Canaveral, Fla., and one from Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif. If all goes well, the three man-made moons will be fired skyward by midnight. The new satellites are designed to glean more data on the earth's make-up and weather and explore the possibility of putting huge reconnaissance satellites into orbit in the future. The Cape Canaveral shot is scheduled to be a unique 2-in-1 launching with the Vanguard rocket. It will carry an instrumented satellite for measuring the magnetic field, solar radiation and meteor effects, and a 30-inch inflatable sphere for checking air density. Actually, the Canaveral scientists may put three objects in orbit if all goes well. The third and final stage of the rocket assembly is expected to go into orbit with the two satellites. At Vandenberg, the Air Force will try to put a Discoverer satellite into a south-north polar orbit. This launching will be part of a long-range endeavor to develop satellites capable of scanning the earth with television and photographic cameras. The 1,300-pound Discoverer probably will eject a package of instruments which scientists will try to recover. However, defense officials were mum on this aspect of the experiment. The Discoverer satellites, which are designed to achieve stable flight rather than tumbling about like other satellites, have an important relationship to eventual efforts to put a man in space as well as to military communications, meteorology and reconnaissance.
