First Twister Hits Erie, Mich.
The new tornadoes struck
Michigan while the State was
still cleaning up the May 21
twister that whirled through the
outskirts of Port Huron. Mich.,
and jumped the St. Clair River
and tore through Sarnia, Ont.
The first tornado last night
lashed Erie, Mich., just over the
Michigan-Ohio line from Tole
do, Ohio, at 6:25 p.m. EST). At
8:10 p.m. a twister hedge-hopped
through Washtenaw County, ?5
miles to the north and swept
into Milford, Oakland County, 15
miles to the northeast. Tawas
City, midway up the eastern
coast of Michigan on Lake
Huron, was hit at 8:25 p.m. and
Flint at 8:45 p.m.
The tornado area extended
from Tawas City down across
the Ohio-Michigan border to
Bowling Green—a path of 350
miles.
In Flint, a heavily industrial
ized city of 163,000 about 70
miles north of Detroit, hospitals
were filled with the injured—
many crowded into corridors still
stunned by the swift destruction
that hit their homes.

Staff Officers Work
On Final Details
Os Korean Armistice
Signs Increase That
Formal Signing Will
Come This Week
By the Associated Press
PANMUNJOM, June 9.—Staff
officers worked today on final
details of a Korean armistice as
hundreds of thousands of South
Koreans demonstrated violently
against the impending truce that
will leave their nation divided.
The liaison officers met for an
hour and 20 minutes. Both sides
brought maps into the confer
ence hut, indicating they were
working out a cease-fire line.
Allied and Communist teams
met in the tiny truce hut at

Panmunjom for 12 minutes amid
increasing signs that an armis
tice may be signed within the
week. x
Although an allied spokesman
gave no hint of what took place
in the hut, the briefness of the
nfeeting indicated that only fin
ishing touches remained before
a cease-fire agreement was
reached.
Lower level officers assembled
after the plenary session—pos
sibly to iron out the wording
of, the document that would call
a halt to the bloody three-year
old war.
The Reds asked the recess in
the plenary session and another
meeting was set for 11 a.m. Wed
nesday (10 p.m. Tuesday EDS).
Revision of the cease-fire line
to follow the present battle line
probably was one matter dis
cussed by negotiators and staff
officers. The original line was
drawn up in November, 1951.
Since then it has changed only
slightly.
Observers anticipated no seri
ous delay in reaching agreement
on a new cease-fire line.
The big obstacle was swept
aside yesterday with the signing
of the agreement providing for
voluntary prisoner exchange.
ROK Stand Worries U. N.
Still, the threat of continued
South Korean warfare after a
cease-fire agreement worried top
U. N. officials.
There was no indication what
would happen if the ROK armies
refuse to acknowledge a truce.
All fighting is to halt 12 hours
after the armistice is signed.
Within 72 hours troops of both
sides are to pull back to create
a 2la mile wide buffer zone. And
at the same time, machinery for
the release of prisoners of war
will be set in motion.

PUSAN. Korea, June 9.—The
South Korean National Assembly
called today for “all necessary
measures” at the front lines "to

northward adyance.”
The Assembly also voted unan

the withdrawal of Chinese Com

the North Korean army.
The lawmakers shouted their
approval of a four-point reso
lution reaffirming South Korea’s
opposition to an impending
truce and threatening to fight on
alone.
“In order to prevent another
Communist aggression and be
prepared for a northward ad
vance, all necessary measures
must be taken quickly at the
front lines as well as in the rear
area,” the resolution said.
Preparing to Fight On.
This was not further explained
immediately, but observers said
the Assembly apparently was
recommending that the South
Korean army prepare to fight on.
The first point of the resolu
tion read:
“No cease fire agreement will
be accepted unless and until the
ROK five-point principles on a
truce and President Syngman
Rhee’s three-point proposal to
President Eisenhower are
adopted ”
The five-point principals call
for North Korean army to be dis

States and continued American
military aid and support.

Wilson Tells
Pentagon Aides
Work, Cut Talk
Won't Retaliate
Against Critics,
However, He Says
By John A. Giles
Secretary of Defense Wilson
said today he felt the adminis
tration’s critics in the Pentagon
“should work a little more and
talk a little less.”
He made this comment when
asked by Senator Margaret Chase
Smith, Republican, of Maine
whether he planned any retalia
tory action against those who
have criticized President Eisen
hower’s reductions in Air Force
spending. The most vocal critic
has been Gsn. Hoyt S. Vanden
berg, retiring Air Force Chief of
Staff.
Mr. Wilson assured the Sena
tor he planned to take no action
against the critics and he added,
as did Air Force Secretary Tal
bott, who was asked the same
question, "I somewhat resent it.”
“As far as I am concerned, I
want to present the facts to the
Congress and the people without
giving aid and comfort to the
enemy,” Mr. Wilson continued.
Won’t Start “Any More Fires.”
Bue he added that when some
one “talks, he should know the
facts, and if he misrepresents
the facts, he should be held re
sponsible.”
He followed this statement
with the comment that he was
not “in favor of starting any
more fires.”
Mr. Wilson, before the Senate
Military Appropriations subcom
mittee for the second day. con
tinued his stout defense of the
cut he has made in the Air
Force budget. At one point he
remarked that he could probably
have cut it more, but he felt
some leeway should be left for
an emergency.
Senator Smith questioned him
at.length about construction of
North African Air Force bases,
which has been criticized as
wasteful by a senate committee.
Mr. Wilson admitted there had
been waste and extravagance be
cause the job was rushed through
with the idea of finishing It in
six months "an impossible
task,” he added.
Hard to Fix Responsibility.
The Secretary said it was dif
ficult to pinpoint the responsi
bility for what had happened.
“It was a poor job and the
only possible excuse is that it
was a crash (rush) job,” he
edded. “The building of five
bases in six months was an im
possible assignment.”
Mrs. Smith kept pressing for
the naming of some one who
was responsible and finally the
Secretary asked:
“You want to put the finger
on him so we can fire him?”
Mrs. Smith assured the Secre
tary she did not have such an in
tention, but that she felt there
should be clearer lines of au
thority in the sprawling defense
establishment.
No Rush From Korea.
Mr. Wifeon told the committee
that a truce in Korea would not
mean a quick recall df American
troops from the Far East or a
reduction in the ammunition
production program.
“The people will be disap
pointed that we cannot bring our
troops back home right away,”
Mr. Wilson said. “But if we get
a truce in Korea it will take at
least six months to liquidate the
prisoner of war problem and we
will have to keep our people
there under any circumstances.”
Secretary Wilson said he was
surprised to find how “soft” the
Air Force budget was bn taking
office early this year.
As an example of this, he said
that $8 billions in spare engine
parts had been ordered since the
start of the Korean war, while
the service had used only $3 bil
lion worth in three years.
Some of the parts are for
planes not yet manufactured, he
said.
Mr. Wilson again declared
there would be sufficient
funds for the Air Force to mod
ernize 143 wings when the planes
could be delivered.
“You can’t get planes in one
half the time by appropriating
tjwice the amount of money,” he
declared.

De Gasperi's Regime Claims
Majorities in Both Houses
Italy Still Compiling Record Turnout
Os 93% of Country's Eligible Voters
By th* Associated Press
ROME, June 9.—Government
spokesmen claimed today that
j Premier Alcide de Gasperi’s cen
i ter coalition had won absolute
majorities in both Senate and
Chamber.
Interior Minister Mario Scelba,
a Christian Democrat, confirmed
that the coalition of four parties
had won more than 50 per cent
of the Senate, but declined to
, say what the result would be
in the Chamber of Deputies, the
more important lower house. He
said he would announce the re
; suits later today.
The electoral office was still
compiling a record vote of 93.78
per cent of the eligible voters
in the election Sunday and yes
terday, the first since 1948. The
results will determine whether
the same coalition which has
kept Italy in the pro-Western
camp the last seven years will
continue to rule.
Results in the Senate race
were counted first.
“Bonus” Seats Provided.
If the government wins more
than 50 per cent of the Chamber
vote it is guaranteed 64.5 per
cent of the seats under a new
election law. This “bonus”
would give it 390 of the 590
seats, a bloc calculated to give
Italy a five-year period, at least,
of stable government.
The government claim was
made at a time when totals so
far made available by the elec
toral office indicated both the
extreme Communist - Socialist
left and the Monarchist-Fascist
right were running strong and
imperiling Mr. De Gasperi’s hopes

One-Year Trade Act
Extension, 23 so 2
President Eisenhower’s request
for a one-year extension of the
Reciprocal Trade Act finally won
approval by the House Ways and
Means Committee today, but in
compromise form which drew
many Democratic complaints.
The Democrats voted for the
bill, which the committee re-

ported out, 23 to 2. But on a
straight party split, 15 to 10,
the committee rejected their at
tempts to limit the measure to
a one-year extension without
change in the current act, and
to prevent an increase from six
to seven in the membership of
the Federal Tariff Commission.
The Democrats said they be
lieved the act should have been
continued for three years. They
said they supported the Presi
dent’s recommendation for a one
year continuance rather than en
danger the entire program. The
names of the two Republicans
who voted against any extension
were not disclosed by the com
mittee.
The bill seemed likely to re
ceive Rules Committee clearance
later today for House action
Monday. Although the present
law expires Friday, congressional
leaders said the lapse will not
affect existing tariff reduction
agreements negotiated 2>y the
President with foreign countries
in return for trade concessions
to the United States.
The Trade Act extension pro
posal had been blocked for sev
eral weeks in the committee.

Rhee Reported Planning
Flight so See President
By tha Associated Prats*
NEW YORK, June 9.—Jim
Robinson, NBC correspondent in
Korea, reported today President
Syngman Rhee plans to fly to
the United States to make a last
minute appeal to President
Eisenhower not to sign the Ko
rean armistice.
Mr. Robinson said the only
thing that might prevent the
trip to Washington would be 78-
year-old Mr. Rhee’s failing
health. In that case, the corre
spondent said, Mr. Rhee would
fly to Tokyo and appeal to Gen.
Mark Clark, supreme commander
In the Far East.
Mr. Robinson quoted a high
South Korean official as his
source. He said top Republic of
Korea officials have urged Mr.
Rhee to make the trip.
In Washington, spokesmen for
the State Department and the
Korean Embassy said they had
heard nothing about the possi
bility of such a trip. The White
House had no comment.
Asked whether he approved of
the idea of a visit by Mr. Rhee,
Secretary of State Dulles said:
“I haven’t given it any mature
thought.” Mr. Dulles made the
comment as he left a meeting of
the National Security Council at
the White House.
Scooter Check on Parking
Seen as Paying for Itself
The Commissioners today gave
out details of a plan for forming
a civilian squadron of “tricycle
troopers” whose job would be to
crack down on parking meter
violators.
The seven-man outfit would
roam each meter route at least
twice a week on motor-driven
tricycles to check on red viola
tion flags in the meters. TO
sustain the squadron would cost
the city $35,000 for the first year,
Engineer' Commissioner Louis W.
Prentiss estimated. Subsequent
years would cost about $28,000,
he added.
But the expense would be
worth while. Gen. said.

Fleming Resigning
As Advisory Council
Chairman June 30
Outside Responsibilities
Are Cited in Letter to
District Commissioners
Robert V. Fleming, chairman
of the Citizens’ Advisory Council,
will resign from that body ef
fective June 30.
This was disclosed in an ex
change of letters released by the
District Commissioners today.
Although Mr. Fleming’s resig
nation comes while the District
Government reorganization plan
is in a crucial stage, the chair
man declared in his letter to the
city heads that heavy outside re
sponsibilities force him to take
the action.
He is president and chairman
of the board of the Riggs Na
tional Bank. With these offices,
he said, combined with “other
public service of a national char
acter,” he would be unable to
continue on the advisory council.
Praises City Workers.
Mr. Fleming noted that “it
was my pleasure to play a part”
In the reorganization, and he
added that he has been "im
pressed with the high caliber
public service” being performed
by city Government employes.
“They are of the highest grade
and all fine public servants,” he
declared.
Accepting the resignation
“with deepest regret,” the Com
missioners told Mr. Fleming that
the local government and Wash
ington citizens owe him a last
ing debt of gratitude for his
work with the government.
Request His Photograph.
They will miss him so much,
the Commissioners added, that
they want an autographed pho
tograph of the resigning chair
man to hang in tKe conference
room where the advisory group
held its meetings.
“Needless to say,” the Com
missioners said, “we will find it
difficult to replace you.”

1873 Case Law
To Be Enforced
Wifhouf Delay
Prosecutions Due
After Tomorrow if
Negroes Are Refused
By Robert K. Walsh
A Supreme Court decision re
quiring restaurants here to serve
Negroes brought assurances from
District officials today that they
will use prompt but normal pros
ecuting procedure to enforce an
80-year-old anti-discrimination
law.
Commissioner Samuel Spencer,
appearing on “Your Commis-
Stories Related to Supreme Court Res
taurant Decision. Pages A-4 and A*s
sioners’ Report” on WMAL-TV,
The Evening Star Station, urged
all restaurants and eating places
to comply immediately with the
law. He indicated that probably
the earliest any prosecutions
would be attempted would be to
morrow.
“We probably will not under
take any prosecutions for a day
or so,” Mr. Spencer said.
He said this slight delay would
only be fair and give restaurant
owners time to familiarize them
selves with the ancient law.
Complaints, he added, should be
taken to the Corporation Coun
sel’s office in Municipal Court
where normal procedure would
be followed.
Home Rule Grant Supported.
In an 8-0 ruling which sup
ported congressional authority
to grant considerable home rule
to the District, the Supreme
Court yesterday held:
That the District’s old legis
lative Assembly in 1873, under a
delegation of power from Con
gress, legally enacted a statute
that “any well-behaved and re
spectable person” must be served
in “any licensed restaurant, eat
ing house, bar room, sample
room, ice cream saloon, or soda
i fountain.”
And that the statute is still en
forceable because it never was
repealed by Congress, killed in a
subsequent codification of Dis
trict laws or done away with by
disuse over the years.
District Commissioners called
; a special meeting and conferred
with Corporation Counsel Ver
non E. West late yesterday.
Fine, License Loss Provided.
They discussed enforcement
steps and points that may require
further clarification in the courts.
Violations will be handled in
I the same way that violations of
i any law are, subject to com
plaints, warrants and court ac
tion it was explained. There
will be no drive to discover re
fusal of restaurant proprietors to
give services to Negroes. Officials
emphasized, however, that there
will be no unreasonable delay in
enforcement and prosecution.
Provides SIOO Fine.
The 1873 law provides for a
J fine of SIOO and forfeiture of li
; cense for one year for violations.
| The law not only requires that
establishments serve well-be
haved persons irrespective of
color, but also states that price
lists must be posted on the prem
ises and such price schedules be
filed with “the Register of the
District.”
The Commissioners said the
price-posting section might be
obsolete. They noted that estab
lishments provide such price in
formation either on wall signs
or menus. Mr. West plans .to
ask the Municipal Court whether
a proprietor must post prices
according to the letter of the
law. But, In any event, it will
be a violation if there is jjrice
discrimination between Negroes
and whites.
The former "Register's” office
has been replaced by the As
sessor’s Office. Price schedules,
under the law, would have to
be filed with the assessor.
The Supreme Court opinion
referred only briefly to the li
j cense forfeiture provision. The
opinion included it mainly in
footnote texts of the anti-dis
crimination laws passed by the
