Hawaii Alerted After Quake Hits Siberia A severe earthquake, apparently centered in the eastern reaches of Siberia, set off a "precautionary" tidal wave alert in Hawaii today. The alert was called off, however, a short time later when the threatened wave failed to materialize. The quake was recorded as a strong one on seismographs around the world. It registered a magnitude of 7 on the Richter scale of 10 on the Fordham seismograph in New York. The University of California at Berkeley set it at 7.5. The shock was strong enough to put the instruments of the San Domenico Observatory in Prato, Italy, out of action. First reports put the quake's epicenter near the Kamchatka Peninsula of the Soviet Union, near the Aleutian Islands, touching off the tidal wave alarm. Later reports put the quake on the Siberian mainland, however, cancelling the tidal wave alert. Officials of the Geodetic survey in Honolulu said the tide rose only one foot at the island of Attu in the Aleutians and no rise was reported at Adak, Midway or Wake islands. The quake was recorded at 12:28:14 a.m. p.d.t. It was not immediately determined whether the quake's center was near a populated area but the likelihood was small. Normally on the scene reports of earthquakes in the Soviet Union are extremely slow to break through official Soviet news channels to the outside world. A quake of 7 or 7.5 on the Richter scale would be quite severe. The scale, devised in the 1930s by Dr. Charles F.

Normally on the scene reports of earthquakes in the Soviet Union are extremely slow to break through official Soviet news channels to the outside world. A quake of 7 or 7.5 on the Richter scale would be quite severe. The scale, devised in the 1930s by Dr. Charles F. Richter of Cal-Tech, is based on the logarithm of the distance a seismograph needle is deflected by the shock, adjusted for the distance of the instrument from the quake center. A magnitude 2 earthquake is 10 times greater than a magnitude 1. A quake rated at 9, believed impossible, would be 100 million times stronger than a magnitude 1. The biggest quakes figured yet on the scale have been in the range of 8.5 to 8.75. Moolick Resigns Post in Stanton Max Moolick, Stanton city clerk since the city held its first council meeting in June, 1966, has announced his resignation effective May 13. Moolick, owner of the Stanton Bible House at 8035 Main, sent copies of his resignation to each of the council members. The resignation becomes effective the day following Stanton's recall election. Asked if he had any plans, Moolick said, "Yes, I have plans, but I want to keep folks in the dark for a few days." Councilwoman Hazel Lewis said she was really surprised when she received Moolick's letter, last Friday. "I was very sorry to hear about his resignation," she said. "He has been a very faithful employee. It was a real challenge for Moolick to assume a position such as city clerk in a new city." "We are going to be rush - rush to get a replacement," she commented. "We're on a competitive employment plan in Stanton, and will probably select a successor that way." Other councilmen and civic officials were not available for comment. WASHINGTON (UPI) — Former President Harry S. Truman today called for repeal of the ban on a presidential third term as a "bad" constitutional amendment. He said it was devised to "get Roosevelt" and is now hamstringing President Eisenhower.

Roosevelt who was elected four times. The amendment was initiated by the Republican-controlled 80th Congress. Truman noted in a terse three and a half page prepared times as he could get votes."

Nixon Says India Top Trouble Spot Nixon Says India Top Trouble Spot WASHINGTON (UPI) — Vice President Richard M. Nixon said today India’s economic struggle may be more important to the Free World than the Berlin crisis. Nixon delivered the opening address to a two-day conference of U.S. and Indian leaders who advocated vast, long-term American loans and other aid to India. All the speakers emphasized that in India, whose population is greater than Africa and Latin America combined, the world will see perhaps a conclusive answer to the question of whether under-developed nations can achieve economic progress without abandoning freedom. Endorsing this theme, Nixon said, “What happens to India insofar as its economic progress is concerned could be as important or more important than the consequences of the negotiations on Berlin.” The vice president said the U.S. welcomes the opportunity to help India, “help prove to the world that it is possible to have economic progress with freedom.” However, he added, “I would not like to rest the case on simply the negative issue of how to defeat Communism. “If there were no Communism and no Communist threat to people like those of India there would still be poverty, disease and need. Our primary interest must be the victory of plenty over want, of freedom over tyranny.” Nixon defended the U.S. foreign aid program against critics who oppose helping nations who are not cold war partners of the United States. Weapon Against Reds The real purpose of the aid-giving, he said, is to help all countries stand independent of any foreign domination. This automatically makes U.S. aid an effective weapon against Communism, he said, because “International Communism and national independence are completely incompatible.” Dickson Murder Trial May End This Week SANTA ANA (OCNS) — The murder trial of 42-year-old Mrs. Frieda Dickson resumed this morning in the court of Superior Judge Robert Gardner.

Storm warnings had been posted since Friday. Gale warnings were issued Saturday and all Coast Guard vessels were put on an emergency basis. Things were complicated since sailboats and other craft had journeyed the 22-mile stretch across the channel. Many Orange County residents were stranded at the festivities at Santa Catalina since commercial craft were prohibited from taking passengers who would be endangered by the wind and sea. The Coast Guard told OCNS it was considering using its vessels for transportation of civilians from Avalon to the mainland. However, because the vessels as well as Coast Guard planes were needed for rescue operations, evacuation was not performed.

(UPI)—About 750 Negro college students plan to stage a classroom strike today in protest against the rape of a 19-year-old classmate. Four young white men are charged with the rape. The Negro students at Florida A&M University turned out by the hundreds Sunday night at a mass meeting to try to focus nationwide attention on the case. Another meeting was scheduled today and student President Clifford Taylor announced "no loyal student will attend classes today." Taylor called on the students to spend the day fasting and praying. "We want the world to know that we are disturbed about this," he said. The student rally was called after formal charges of rape were filed Sunday against the four young white men, aged 16 to 24. If convicted on the charges, the four could be sentenced to death, Florida's maximum penalty for rape. A police investigator said the four told him they had been drinking and drove through the predominantly Negro section near the university "to scare" students attending a Friday night dance. Police said the accused rapists found the girl and her date with another Negro couple in a parked car. The white youths allegedly frightened the two Negro boys away with a .12 gauge shotgun and switch-blade knife. Then they forced the girl into their car. The other girl broke away and hid in the bushes.
