President Names See Senate Okay Of Nomination AUGUSTA, Ga. (UPI) — President Eisenhower today announced his selection of Christian A. Herter as the new Secretary of State. Herter flew by Army helicopter from his vacation retreat at Green Pond, S.C. for a final conference with Eisenhower this morning before the chief executive personally announced the selection of the acting Secretary of State to replace cancer-stricken John Foster Dulles. Eisenhower told reporters he would send Herter's nomination to the Senate as soon as the Senate meets next week. Speedy confirmation was expected. The President last Monday told Herter he anticipated the resignation of Dulles and planned to name Herter as the successor provided a physical checkup showed Herter was able to carry out the strenuous duties of the post. Herter in "Fine Shape" Herter, 64-year-old former governor of Massachusetts who has been in the State Department since 1957, went to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Md. last Wednesday for a check on his general condition and particularly the effect of the arthritis from which he has suffered for years. The results of the examination were sent to the President later in the week. The White House said they showed the new secretary to be in "Fine shape." Dulles has suffered from recurrent cancer for two years. His ernor of Massachusetts who has been in the State Department since 1957, went to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Md., last Wednesday for a check on his general condition and particularly the effect of the arthritis from which he has suffered for years. The results of the examination were sent to the President later in the week. The White House said they showed the new secretary to be in "Fine shape." Dulles has suffered from recurrent cancer for two years. His worsening condition forced his resignation last Wednesday. The President, however, could see the inevitability of Dulles' decision and talked to Herter in Washington last Monday about his elevation to the cabinet contingent on the results of the medical examination. Herter told reporters at the President's offices here today he assumes that the State Department will continue operating with the "same team" developed under Dulles. Herter did not, however, want to discuss foreign policy in general terms until he has been confirmed by the Senate. Herter will return to Washington on Monday from his weekend at the Cheehaw Plantation in South Carolina to prepare for his imminent departure for the Paris meeting of Western Foreign Ministers beginning April 29. After that conference, Herter will then lead the American delegation to the May 11 meeting of foreign ministers with the Soviet Union in Geneva. Placentia Recall Again Delayed By Orange County News Service Possibility of holding a city council recall election in Placentia, has been again delayed by legal maneuvers in a double barreled lawsuit in superior court at Santa Ana. Late Friday afternoon, Superior Court Judge John Shea continued a restraining order against the Placentia City Clerk, in effect ordering him not to tabulate signatures on recall petitions which have been filed with him. No date for a new hearing was set. The continuance of the restraining order was granted in order for attorneys to prepare additional arguments on whether or not the pending suit should go to trial. In this court action, six taxpayers are pleading that the recall petitions are invalid and that a recall Leveled at Reds By Dalai Lama TEZPUR, India (UPI) — The Dalai Lama today accused the Chinese Communists of lying and treachery in their invasion of his Himalayan kingdom. The young god-king made his first public statement on the anti-Communist rebellion in Tibet when he reached the safety of this heavily guarded railhead in eastern India 33 days after fleeing from his capital city of Lhasa. He had moved through the 20,000-foot mountains of Tibet by horse and crossed the forbidding rivers in yak-skin barges to reach India. Today he emerged from the restricted Indian frontier area in a caravan of jeeps and issued his condemnation of Red China. Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru announced to the world he was granting political asylum to the Dalai Lama when he crossed the border of the frontier area on April 1. The refugee ruler has spent the time since then under protection of the Indian army in an area closed to all but members of the Indian military and a few government officials. The Dalai accused the Communists of breaking their promises and of lying when they said he was kidnapped by "imperialist agents." He decided to leave of his own free will, he said, because of the Communist threat. The round-faced god-king, wearing a smile for the thousands of Buddhists who gathered here to pay homage, issued the statement to more than 100 newsmen gathered in this tea plantation center. He denied specifically he had been held under duress as charged by Peiping. He accused the Reds of interfering in Tibetan affairs despite a 1951 agreement guaranteeing full autonomy to his ancientocracy.

Devenney Santa Ana Jail Break Try Foiled SANTA ANA (OCNS) — An attempt by 11 felony inmates to break out of Orange County Jail has been foiled. One of the prisoners seeking freedom was murder-case defendant John H. Thwails, 28-year-old Torrance longshoremen. Jail Capt. Clarence Double admitted the escape try. He said a hole large enough to enable a man to crawl through had been cut in a heavy wire screen. Double also disclosed work had been done on one jail bar, although it hadn't been sawed completely through. The escape plot was hatched in notorious Tank No. 103 — on the ground floor of the old stone jail — facing an alley. The tank has been the scene of numerous jail break efforts. One inmate was killed in the tank by a fellow inmate last year. Double said none of the felony inmates have admitted complicity in the break-out plan. Hacksaw blades used in the cutting haven't been found. The escape attempt failed by only a few hours. Jailers learned of the break plan via the "grape-vine." Speculation was that Thwails was the key figure in the bold try for freedom. He was transferred yesterday to Los Angeles City Jail to stand trial on a murder indictment. Thwails allegedly conspired with five others, including a cocktail waitress, to slay San Diego underworld figure Tony Mirabile. Thwails had obtained a change of venue to Orange County for trial. When he was indicted by the Los Angeles County Grand Jury, the case was dismissed here.

(UPI)—National Guardsmen firing bazookas, machine guns and tear gas crashed into the Montana Prison today to end a 35-hour convict rebellion and win the freedom of 16 guard hostages. One of the convict ringleaders murdered the other leader and then committed suicide. Warden Floyd E. Powell led the 200 guardsmen, supported by 100 police and vigilantes, in the assault on the grey fortress-like prison when he received word that the convicts had decided to shoot and burn the hostages. "Stool Pigeons" Freed In addition to the 16 guard hostages, five so-called convict "stool pigeons"—informers—seized by the rebels escaped unharmed. Two members of the assault team were wounded in a wild exchange of fire with the desperate convicts. The ringleaders, Lee Smart, 19, and Jerry Miles, 44, were found dead in one of the prison towers. At first it was believed that each had committed suicide with rifles seized in the first minutes of the uprising Thursday afternoon. But Warden Powell said one of two rifles found in the room had an empty shell in the chamber. This was "positive proof" that one of the convicts had shot the other and then killed himself, Powell said. Several empty shells lay on the floor. He said he believed Smart had killed Miles because "Miles didn't have the intestinal fortitude to carry out what he said he would do." (Not to be taken alive). Admits Murder of Deputy The Warden said Smart told him he was the one who triggered the uprising by fatally shooting Deputy Warden Ted Rothe Thursday afternoon. The admission was made to the Warden when he was briefly held hostage shortly after the riot started. Thus a prison mutiny started by a murder by Smart ended with a murder by Smart. He was serving a term for murder. Smat and Miles were the only convicts who died in the uprising. Five others who fled to the tower with the pair for a last stand surrendered meekly. Warden Powell said prison officials decided about midnight to attack instead of waiting out the 25 to 30 hard-core members of the 450-man prison population. "The cons had decided to kill the hostages with incendiaries." Powell said. "I got the word from the other inmates." Warden Claims Prison Going To Be Tougher DEER LODGE, Mont. (UPI)—"Things are going to get a lot tougher around here," Warden Floyd Powell said today after the quelling of his first prison riot since he became warden here. "I've always believed in a thorough program of rehabilitation and somewhat light discipline. I don't know just how I will change my program now, but it sure is going to get tougher." Powell, 40, walked down the sidewalk fronting the cold gray stoned walls to a nearby restaurant, perched himself on a chair and ordered ham and eggs. "I guess you could say all's well that ends well, and this one ended in great shape." "Our only concern was for the safety of the hostages inside the walls." The 36 hour uprising had a particularly bitter moment for the graveying, usually pleasant penal official. His good friend, Deputy Warden Ted Rothe, was shot and killed Thursday afternoon as the convicts took over the prison. Rottie had worked with Powell at Waupun, Wis. Powell had worked there 18 years and brought Rotte with him. Powell came here last August and Rothe followed him in October. "He was a good friend and a good man," Powell said. Powell said his original strategy was to "sweat them out and let them cool off" in hopes that the ring-leaders would become disillusioned in their effort to obtain various concessions and voluntarily give up the hostages. "But when one of my contacts inside the wall told me 'they're going to burn the hostages', I had no choice but to open up with everything we had available." He said he did not know what he would have done if the inmates had not decided to harm their BABY BORN ABOARD MEXICALI, Mexico (UPI)—Federal police today sifted through the wreckage of a Mexican airliner which crashed near the fishing village of Guaymas in an effort to learn what caused the plane to explode and crash. Police said they believed the plane exploded before it crashed with 26 persons aboard. The officers confirmed earlier reports that one of the passengers on the ill-fated plane had given birth to a baby a few minutes before the crash Friday. Latest reports from the scene indicated that only 12 bodies have been recovered. The bodies, said to be unidentifiable, were taken to a mortuary at Hermosilla. Police said the bodies would be sent here and to Tijuana on the Mexico-California border this morning. The twin-engine plane was flying in clear weather when it crashed at dawn on the beach west of Guaymas. Airport officials here said the C40 was owned by the Tigres Voladores (Flying Tigers) of Mexico. It reported no trouble in its last radio contact with the airport. At that time the plane was over Rocky Point, Mexico, at the entrance to the Gulf of California. The plane was en route to Mexico City from here. First reports had indicated the plane apparently ran into mechanical trouble and attempted an emergency landing on the beach.
