Russia Warned of May Kill Summit Meeting Plans By THOMAS J. FOLEY United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) — High American sources said today that any highhanded action by the Soviets against Berlin would break up the impending foreign ministers meeting and end chances of a summit conference. The warning came as Secretary of State Christian A. Herter prepared to depart for the Geneva meeting, ready to negotiate with the Russians in a spirit of conciliation but firmly against bargaining away basic western principles. Officials said if the Soviets are not already aware of the danger of carrying out their ultimatum on Berlin, it will be made clear to them at the Geneva meeting starting Monday. There also was indication that U.S. officials are prepared for a procedural scrap in the meeting's opening phase over what role the two Germanies and possibly Poland and Czechoslovakia should take in the discussions. Confers With Eisenhower Meanwhile, Herter had a brief morning consultation with Presi- Russian Spy ‘Gag’ Breaks Heart of Little Old Lady HOLLYWOOD (UPI)—It started as a gag. Nobody figured it would break the heart of a little old lady. The idea was to see how people would react if a Russian-speaking spaceman popped up in a metropolitan city—and also to get some publicity for next Monday’s Westinghouse-Desilu TV show, “Man in Orbit.” It started innocently enough. A Russian-born bit actor, Goury Polonsky, 60, was outfitted in a rubberized grey space suit, high shoes, a black and gold helmet that covered his face and black leather gloves. Then, at lunch hour Thursday, he emerged from the downtown Los Angeles underground garage in Pershing Square and started to ask for help—in Russian—from persons on the crowded streets. A girl of about 18 ran up behind him, listened to him talk for a few seconds and kicked him in the legs. “Communist!” she screamed. Picking up about 50 followers, Polonsky stopped in front of a trolley dispatcher and asked him some questions—in Russian. The dispatcher listened seriously, then replied: “You catch the P-car right here.” Then came the little old lady. White-haired, and about 70, she heard Polonsky talking Russian, rushed to his side and asked if she could help him. “I am Russian too—before I became American,” she said. By this time, several hundred persons had gathered around the “spaceman.” Some berated him angrily as a “spy.” Sharper eyes noticed English-language labels on his equipment. But the little lady stood by him. them at the Geneva meeting starting Monday. There also was indication that U.S. officials are prepared for a procedural scrap in the meeting’s opening phase over what role the two Germanies and possibly Poland and Czechoslovakia should take in the discussions. Confers With Eisenhower Meanwhile, Herter had a brief morning consultation with President Eisenhower. They presumably went over last minute details on what the U.S. will expect as a prerequisite for a summer conference that would involve the President. Officials said any Soviet attempt to take unilateral action on the Berlin situation while negotiations are going on in Geneva would very likely break up the conference. They would expect one of the western nations to take the matter immediately to the United Nations. Herter, in his first tough assignment as the West’s chief negotiator, was prepared to make concessions at the Geneva foreign ministers’ conference if Russia will give ground, too. Short Stop In Germany Flying to Geneva by way of Bremen, Herter was to stop off Saturday for discussions with West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer. He was to arrive in Geneva late Saturday for Monday’s opening session of the foreign ministers’ meeting. Swimmer Killed Despite Girl’s Ree SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) — A “huge grey shape” swirled through the water near the Golden Gate Bridge Thursday and killed an 18-year-old college student swimming just 40 yards offshore. Albert Kogler, a student at San Francisco State College, was pulled from the water alive by a daring girl who his screams of warning. But Kogler, one arm and chest slashed to ribbone three hours later despite gency surgery. Local authorities were saker was a great white very rare in the chilly waters. Then came the little old lady. White-haired, and about 70, she heard Polonsky talking Russian, rushed to his side and asked if she could help him. "I am Russian too—before I became American," she said. By this time, several hundred persons had gathered around the "spaceman." Some berated him angrily as a "spy." Sharper eyes noticed English-language labels on his equipment. But the little lady stood by him. "He' lost," she explained to the crowd. "He was ejected from his plane and needs help. I'll take him home to my son and give him a good meal." She was about to hustle him into a taxi when a publicity man took her aside and explained that the whole thing was a stunt. The old lady looked at him unbelieving, then walked slowly away. "It's not fair to do such things," she said, leaning against a store window and wiping her eyes with a handkerchief. NEW YORK (UPI) — Outdoor work, heavy drinking, and frequent respiratory illnesses are statistically significant in lung cancer but are far outranked by cigarette smoking, the newest study of the problem showed today. NEWS OF THE WORLD IN BRIEF BILL TO ABOLISH DEATH PENALTY BURIED SACRAMENTO (UPI)—The Senate Judiciary Committee Thursday night buried, for at least two years, a new and heavily-amended bill to abolish the death penalty in California. The 8-6 vote on the measure authored by Sen. Fred S. Farr (D-Carmel) was two short of the number needed for committee approval. TRUMAN CELEBRATES 75TH BIRTHDAY NEW YORK (UPI)—Harry S. Truman, who took over Times Square Thursday, captures the rest of the nation tonight in a star-studded happy 75th birthday party. An estimated 50,000 persons were expected to turn out to honor the former president at Democratic Party dinners in 16 cities, linked by closed-circuit television. FIVE-CENT POSTAGE RATE APPEARS DOOMED WASHINGTON (UPI)—The administration's request for a nickel stamp on first class letters appeared likely today to wind up as a dead letter in Congress. There was no noticeable enthusiasm among congressmen for the administration proposal to raise the four-cent rate for regular letters to five cents and boost air mail letters from seven to eight cents. TV star Arthur Godfrey climbed in the report's staircase of 500 lung cancers whose personal and ancestories were minutely invoked about one-seventh year after one-fifth were outliers, about one-seventh year drinkers, and one-third year ill of respirators.

SHORTAL Steel Talks Bog Down as Bitter Accusations Fly By ROBERT G. SHORTAL United Press International NEW YORK (UPI)—Steel wage negotiations bogged down in bitter accusations Thursday but both sides agreed to try to reach a settlement before a strike shuts down the vital industry. The United Steelworkers of America asked federal officials to investigate alleged plans of the industry to violate anti-trust and labor laws. Management quickly replied that if anything needs investigation it is the union concentration of power. However, R. Conrad Cooper, chief negotiator for the industry, and David J. McDonald, union president, agreed it was much too early for both sides to be making such tough statements. They expected more time for them to get together on a new agreement. Union Charges Greed The current contract covering 500,000 basic steelworkers expires June 30. If no new agreement exists at that time, a strike is almost a certainty. The union let loose a new blast at the industry in the latest edition of its publication, "Steel Labor." It charged that the industry in its "head-long dash for cash" may have lost sight of the need to increase the purchasing power of the public to consume the goods produced by American business. The contract talks which began Tuesday have run up against any settlement should include. The industry contended that no wage increase is justified and that any increase in employment costs must be offset by a price increase. The union said the industry can afford to absorb a "substantial" increase in wages and fringe issues without a price increase. Charges And Denials The union urged Thursday in separate letters to the Justice Department and the National Labor Relations Board that alleged industry plans to crack any strike technique be investigated. The industry denied it planned any such action and reaffirmed Killed by Shark Girl’s Rescue Try Killed from the water barely alive by a daring girl who ignored screams of warning. But Kogler, one arm hanging and chest slashed to ribbons, died three hours later despite emergency surgery. Local authorities were sure theiller was a great white shark, very rare in the chilly bay area waters. The girl, who swam ashore and then returned to help Kogler, was Shirley O'Neill, also 18 and a student at the same college. Describes Attack Army M.Sgt. Leo Day, who witnessed the rescue said, "It was the greatest exhibition of courage I have ever seen, or am likely to see in my whole life." Before being placed under sedatives Shirley sobbed out her story of the sudden attack. She said she and Kogler were swimming at Bakers Beach, west of the Gold Coast. Trunks Drinking, Lung Cancer Cause TV star Arthur Godfrey was included in the report's statistics. Of 500 lung cancer victims whose personal and ancestral histories were minutely investigated, about one-fifth were outdoor workers, about one-seventh were heavy drinkers, and one-third were frequently ill of respiratory troubles. But more than nine-tenths were cigarette smokers and four-fifths had smoked two packs or more a day for years. The study was made by Drs. Herbert L. Lombard and Leonid S. Snegireff of Harvard University, Tufts College, and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. It took seven years and was designed to meet criticisms of previous statistical studies of relations between cigarette smoking and lung cancer. Such criticism has been made by the tobacco industry and some statisticians. This new study showed that 80 per cent of the victims had smoked more than 9,125 packs of cigarettes, or two packs a day for 12½ years. But the average lifetime consumption of the group was about 15,000 packs, or 20 years at two packs a day. It found that the younger patients were among 36 who had smoked less than 5,475 packs in their lifetimes. This was the sole (Continued on Page A-4, Col. 4) Describes Attack Army M.Sgt. Leo Day, who witnessed the rescue said, "It was the greatest exhibition of courage I have ever seen, or am likely to see in my whole life." Before being placed under sedatives Shirley sobbed out her story of the sudden attack. She said she and Kogler were swimming at Bakers Beach, about two miles west of the Golden Gate Bridge "when a huge gray shape swirled out of the water." "I heard Albert scream, 'Go back, go back, it's a shark!' Then blood gushed in the water." As she headed for shore, Miss O'Neill said she saw the shark's tail whip-across the surface of the water several times. Brings Him Back The attractive student said she had just about reached shore when she heard Kogler cry, "help me!" She ran from the water to Joe Interson, a fireman fishing nearby. He tied a fishing line about her waist and she plunged back into the surf. In a hesitant voice she said that upon reaching Kogler, "one arm seemed to be hanging by a thread." "I grabbed him around his back, but it was all bloody and I could see his insides," she said. "He kept screaming and yelling so I finally told him to lie on his back and relax. "He did that, though the pain must have ben awful, and if he hadn't I would have never been able to get him back," she said. Meanwhile other spectators had called police. Patrolman Harry Paretchen, first on the scene, realized no ambulance could travel on the sandy beach. "I saw a Coast Guard boat off the beach," he said. "I fired three shots, then waved my arms for them to send a helicopter or a truck." Charges And Denials The union urged Thursday in separate letters to the Justice Department and the National Labor Relations Board that alleged industry plans to crack any strike technique be investigated. The industry denied it planned any such action and reaffirmed its position that the steel companies were concentrating their efforts on arriving at a peaceful settlement. The union claimed industry consideration of dividing revenues among those companies that worked and those that might be closed by a "divide and conquer" strike would amount to a violation of the anti-trust laws. Industry negotiators countered by saying while they were looking into a "mutual assistance pact" the matter of pooling profits had never been discussed.

Eisenhower was "shocked and saddened" by Quarles' unexpected death. In an expression of sympathy, the President said: "As deputy secretary and prior to that as secretary of the Air Force, Mr. Quarles devoted his service of his country. His contribution was of inextimable value to the security not only of the United States but of that of the entire Free World. I share with his associates in the government a keen sense of personal loss." Saw President Thursday Quarles, as a member of the National Security Council, had met with the President Thursday. Quarles was an engineer-industrialist who came out of the Ozark Mountain town of Van Buren, Ark., and once played in a hillbilly band.

Dep. Coroner Frank Hulsh was found dead in the garage of his residence shortly after 1 a.m. by his wife Velma Marie. A 9-millimeter German Luger bullet had pierced Hulsh's heart. Hanson said Hulsh, a music box technician, apparently had been cleaning the weapon. The clip was not in the gun. It had been well oiled. Hulsh used the garage for a workshop. The garage door was closed, according to Hanson. The shot apparently was fired about 10:30 p.m. It wasn't heard by the sleeping 15-year-old son of Hulsh. A next-door neighbor, however, recalled hearing a muffled shot when questioned by deputies and Hanson. No notes were found and there was no indication Hulsh planned to end his life, according to Hanson. Mrs. Hulsh was not home when the shooting occurred. Hulsh's body was removed to Smith Mortuary, Huntington Beach where funeral services were pending today.

The 16-foot frying pan used to fry 1,000 pounds of fish at a time foundered Thursday night while being towed across Camogli Bay. The annual festival, which usually turns into an uproarous celebration, was set for next Sunday. Fishermen, housewives and droves of tourists have been descending on the north Italy fishing town for days for the event. The huge copper frying pan, a "padella," measures more than 18 feet in diameter and weighs about three tons. Because of its size it has to be garaged in the town’s municipal warehouse on the outskirts of Camogli along the coast. The frying pan is too wide to be transported by road and long ago the townsfolk discovered it could simply be sailed across the bay a few days before the "sagra di pesce di San Fortunato," the fish festival of St. Fortunato feast day, and set up in the town square. On the morning of the festival every local fisherman hands over his previous night's catch for the fish fry and Camogli housewives donate olive oil they have saved all winter. Then when the first 1,000 pounds of fish are fried to a crisp turn the mayor of Camogli invites all present to "eat and enjoy as much as they desire," all free. Usually the voyage of the frying pan is uneventful. But Thursday night an unexpected swell in a choppy sea splashed a ton or so of water into the pan and it sank in water nearly 20 feet deep. Without the frying pan there can be no fish festival, local fishermen moaned.
