Bank Robbers 
May Have Fled 
Via Motorboat Canada, U.S. Police 
Scour River Following 
Trenton Area Holdup 
DETROIT (AP)—A pair 
of masked gunmen, escap- 
ing with $11,460 from a sub- 
urban branch bank, were 
believed to have fled to 
Canada in a motorboat. 
A witness told suburban 
Trenton police two men 
were seen running to a 
small outboard motorboat 
yesterday a short time after 
the holdup of the West Road 
branch of the Trenton State 
Bank. 
A description of the boat- 
men matched that of the 
gunmen, police said. 
Police were led to believe the 
gunmen had taken to the Detroit 
River in their flight when a car 
was found near where the boat 
was launched. The car, police said, 
had been stolen from a used car 
dealer's lot three days before the 
bank holdup. It was identified as 
the car this pair used when they 
fled, 
The bank is located about a 
quarter mile from the Detroit 
River, A boat trip te the Can- 
adian shore some three miles 
distant would include a detour 
around the nine-mile length of 
Gross De, located in mid-stream. 
Canadian and Detroit police 
boats scoured the area but found 
no trace of the men. A_ police 
helicopter also was unsuccessful 
in the hunt. 
Police then theorized the men 
might have crossed the river to 
Canada. 
Bank manager Fred W. Pluskat 
said two men entered the bank 
shortly after its 10 a.m, opening. 
The gunmen bound Ptuskat and 
two women tellers with lengths 
of clothesline after forcing the 
branch manager toe open the 
sale. 
Pluskat called police after free- 
ing himself minutes after the gun- 
men had fled

Thousands Flee Flood LAREDO, Tex. «—Police in this 
border city hurriedly evacuated 
residents of low areas today in 
the face of the Rio Grande's great- 
est flood. 
Police said an expected 40-foot 
crest would send flood waters 
boiling into the business section of 
this city of nearly 52,000. 
Across the steadily rising 
rampaging boundary river the 
twin Mexican city of — Nuevo 
Larede abandoned affémpts to 
sandbag the levee. Workmen 
started moving everything pos- 
sible, including the population, 
te higher ground. 
Police expected the waters to 
envelope the already closed Inter- 
national Bridge at any moment 
Thousands of on both 
sides of the U.S.-Mexico boundary 
fled to the hills. Nearly,.100 miles 
north of the Rio Grande, in the 
rich oil-and-cattle country of far 
west Texas, 14 persons were be- 
lieved dead after flash floods swept 
through Ozona. 
The Red Cross reported at 5 
a.m. that six persons were con- 
firmed dead and nine were miss- 
ing. This varied slightly from 
ether figures, 
Flood stages 5 to 15 feet higher 
than ever before were expected 
in the border cities today. But an 
International Boundary and Water 
Commission (IBWC) spokesman, 
after a plane flight over the river, 
said: 
“How much the river will fise 
after this crest presses is any- 
body's guess.” 
The IWBC had lost contact 
with its gauging points north of 
Langtry, some 60 miles upstream 
from Del Rie, 
Back of the picturesque border 
river's churning, debris-laden crest 
were shattered bridges, flooded 
towns and washed-out railroads 
and highways. Thousands were 
forced from their homes, but—ex- 
cept for tragedy-ridden Ozona— 
there had been no loss of life re- 
ported. “sms 
River-wise city folks quickly 
evacuated their homes. Farmers 
had been warned and joined the 
thousands in the Mexican hills.

Woman Reporter Is First 
to Visit Guatemala Rebels (Editor's Note—Evelyn Irons, only woman correspondent covering the rebel 
invasion of Guatemala from Honduras, has scooped 40 of her male com- 
petitors She wes the first reporter 
Guatemalan headquarters to enter Chiquimula the insurgents’ 
How she got there is part of the story, written 
for the London Evening Standard and the Associated Press after her return 
to Tegucigalpa.) 
By EVELYN IRONS -_ 
TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (AP)—The toughest aspect 
of the Guatemalan war is getting there, as the invaders 
found. I traveled as they did—25 miles by mule and on 
foot from the Honduran border village of Nuova Ocoto- 
\peque to Esequipulas. 
It was a reputedly 6 to 8 hours trip but it took me 13 
hours. 
A lean desperado in a battered straw sombrero agreed 
to supply himself as guide and two mules for $15.   
But he turned up with?— 
only one mule and the state- 
ment that not for $1,000 
would he go farther than 
the border, as he feared for 
his life in Guatemala. 
So we started up the boulder 
path leading to the mountains with 
Enriques, the guide, trotting 
ahead. I, on the mule, followed. 
It was a brilliant, hot morning 
and at first: the adventure had 
charmg with the mule scattering 
@touds of vivid yellow butterflies. 
Even more brilliant yellow tropical 
birds flashed across the path 
Engiques, in sandals, larruped   up mountains until I thought. my 
heart would burst. 
Five hours after ihe start we 
reached the border. Nobody was 
in sight and I wondered how to 
find my way from there. .The place 
seemed deserted—just a monolith 
on a mound with ‘Guatemala 
1936’ carved.on it. But round a 
bend I found a hut shared by a 
family with their pigs and hens. 
In the hut were a reconnaissance 
party of five rebels led by a hard- 
bitten farmer, Jose Santival, whom 
I had met on an airplane from 
Tegucigalpa. 
But now a rainstorm, which is 
(Continued on Page 2, Col. 8)   river is lower than the U.S. side. 
The rains, some up to 22 inches 
were spawned by last week's 
Hurricane Alice, which lashed 
the Texas-Mexican Gulf Coast for 
12 hours last Friday. 
Ahead of the rushing floodwaters 
lay-the great international Falcon 
Dam, dedicated less than a year 
ago by the presidents of the United 
States and Mexico. It was expected 
to keep the damaging floodwaters 
from the lush vegetable and citrus- 
growing lower Rio Grande Valley 
and its big population. 
For the lower valley, the great 
flood was a blessing. Beyond Fal- 
con Dam, the river has been vir- 
tually dry. Now the flood will be 
used in future months to slacken 
the mammoth thirst of the orange 
and grapefruit groves, the vege- 
table farms and cotton-growing 
areas. 
At least half of Cludad Acuna, 
across the river from Del Rie, 
Tex., was under water. Some 
15,000 people huddied in the supplies, food and clothing were 
being flown in by the American 
Red Cross. The privately owned 
International Toll Bridge was 
swept away between Ciudad Acu- 
na and Del Rie. 
Fifty-five miles south of Del Rio, 
between Piedras Negras and Eagle 
Pass, the raging flood beat the city 
owned International Bridge to 
kindling about 9 p.m. last night. 
Eagle Pass’ only hospital was iso- 
lated by the swift-moving flood 
waters and could be reached only 
by boat. 
Both the United States and Mex- 
ico hurriedly marshaled forces to 
combat the mad waters. The U.S. 
4th Army flew field kitchens, cots, 
blankets and clothing to flood- 
harried towns. 
Large numbers of motorists were 
seen stranded along U. S. 90, the 
inundated highway which parallels 
the Rio Grande for miles along 
the border. At Del Rio, water was 
in the business district and

EDC, Defense of Asia 
as Conference Ends 
WASHINGTON ( A P )— 
President Eisenhower and 
Prime Minister Churchill 
end their historic unity con- 
ference today in evident de- 
termination to avert 4a 
breakdown of British-Amer- 
ican cooperation despite 
persistent disagreement on 
major Communist issues. 
The two leaders sched- 
uled the last of a series of 
meetings stretching over 
five days. A statement of 
“basic principles” was prom- 
ised-for shortly thereafter. 
Then the 79-year-old 
Churchill takes off for a 
brief visit to Ottawa, Can- 
ada, on his way home to 
London. 
He leaves behind a ringing ap- 
peal for a ‘“‘real good try" at living 
peacefully with Soviet Russia. 
a joint statement by the Amer- 
lean and British leaders. 
They agreed to “press forward”’ 
plans for a_ collective defense 
against communism in Southeast 
Asis whether the Indochina war 
is settled or whether it goes on. 
And they agreed that the projected 
European Defense Community pro- 
vides the best means for rearming 
West Germany, while _ telling 
France other means of ng this 
will be considered if French ap- 
proval of EDC is not given 
promptly. . 
Some who heard him gained 
the impression that one of his 
  -] motives in coming to the United 
States now was to deliver a piea 
for an all-out attempt at getting 
along with the Russians, as an al- 
ternative to what he termed the 
“‘doom-laden"’ condition of the 
world today. 
It is no secret that many Britons 
fear U.S. policy toward the Soviet 
Union and Red China:has become 
too. rigid. 
Churchill's appeal was built on 
the idea of establishing more con- 
tacts with the Russian people and 
on the faith that their interest in 
befter living conditions would op- 
erate as a restraint on the policies 
of the Soviet government. 
“I would like to make quite 
sure,”’ he declared, ‘that the Rus- 
they might gain far more by a 
quartey of a Century 6f peaceful 
development in their own country 
than they would by pressing mat- 
ters to_a point where we should all 
be led to a situation which baffles 
human imagination in its terror 
but which, I am quite sure would 
leave us victorious—but victorious 
on a heap of ruins.” 
He made.clear repeatedly that in 
his opinion the basis of any effect- 
ive policy by the Western Powers 
toward Russia must be the unity 
of the United States and Britain. 
He emphasized, as Foreign Sec- 
cretary Eden had done a week 
earlier, Britain's interest in having 
a nonaggression guarantee for 
Southeast Asia.

It City Refuses to -Rezone’ From Our Birmingham Bureau 
BIRMINGHAM — ‘The threat of 
a law suit faced this city today

BOSTON W — Edward H. Lairt> $200,000 Suit 
Goes to Jury Judge Holland Tells 
Panel of 4 Verdicts on 
Bleacher Collapse 
A $200,000 damage suit against 
Birmingham School District and 
a Detroit bleacher company ended 
today with a 90-minute charge by 
Circuit Judge H. Russel Holland 
to the jury of 10 women and two 
nen 
Dr. Maurice Richards, a Royal 
Oak dentist, is seeking the dam- 
ages for disabling injuries to his 
leg reecived when bleachers col- 
lapsed at a high school football 
game in 1948 
dudge Holland told the jurors 
they had four verdicts to choose 
from: negligence on the part of 
the school district; negligence on 
the part of the bleacher com. 
pany; negligence against both 
or no cause for action against 
both. 
It was the duty of the firm 
Atlas Bleacher Co.. to provide 
bleachers properly designed and 
constructed and to give notice of 
any known defect, the judge said 
in his charge 
He pointed out that the company 
could not be held liable if the 
bleachers collapsed because of 
faulty erection and that a verdict 
of no cause for action should be 
returned if the company carried 
out Ys obligations. 
The schoot district has been 
charged with faulty erection, in- 
spection and supervision. No sup- 
ports were placed under the 
bleachers’ frames te keep them 
from sinking inte the ground, 
the plaintiff charged. 
“It was the legal duty of the 
school district to exercise care and 
precaution m erecting the bleach- 
ers, Judge Holland said, “and if 
the school district was negligent 
then the plaintiff may recover. 
“It must be remembered that the 
school district has used the same 
type of bleachers for many years 
and there has been no evidence 
to indicate school officials had any 
knowledge that the bleachers were 
inherently unsafe or deficient in 
design." 
“Tf in) your opinion you think 
proper care Was used in erecting 
the bleachers jou must return a 
verdict of no for action 
against the school district.”’

Highway Fraud 
Made Easier’ Gov. Williams Says 
Road Department Has 
Laxity and Confusion 
WHITE CLOUD w — Gov. Wil- 
liams said last night “‘there is 
evidence of a deep-seated laxity 
and confusion in the (state) High- 
way Department which has made 
toler a lot easier than it should   
Addressing Rotary’ Clubs from 
three communities, Williams said 
G. Palmer Seeley, convicted High- 
way Department right-of-way buy- 
er in Grand Rapids, “‘literally 
gave away $45,000 of the people's 
money without any explanation 
whatsoever.”’ 
The transaction which Williams 
criticized occurred, he said, in 
the department's condemnation 
of a right-of-way at Holland 
which cost the state $80,000 for 
land appraised at $350,000. 
“The reason for the $80,000 
award was not hard to find,” Wil- 
liams said: *‘The records disclosed 
that the Highway Department's 
chief land buyer for this area went 
on the witness stand and testified 
that the state could fairly pay $80.- 
000 for the property appraised at 
Declaring the witness was See- 
ley, Williams said “his conduct in 
that case should have brought 
about an immediate investigation 
to determine where his loyalties 
were. But no such inquiry was 
made. And it was not until a year 
later that he was conficted of 
fraud in right-of-way purchases in 
Muskegon County and sentenced to 
a prison term.” 
Williams used the case as an 
argument for his contention that 
a highway construction. council 
should be established if the state 
floats a 5300 million dollar bond

which we plunged, our way dimly 
lit by two inadequate flashlamps. 
Across our first broad river was 
a precarious, slatted wood bridge, 
strung on wires, which I crossed 
dizzily while Enriques rode, swim- 
ming the mule. 
The worst moment was awaiting 
him on the other side and wonder- 
ing if he would turn the mule 
homewards. I had foolishly paid 
in advance. But after 15 minutes 
he appeared round the bend. 
Hour after hour the going got 
tougher. I clung to the pommel of 
the high Mexican saddle as the 
mule slithered down precipices or 
struggled up sheer, white soap- 
stone cliffs.

What path there was was mostly 
in riverbeds, dry or wet. Even the 
mule balked at perpendicular 
rocky descents, so dismounted.

on our seats. 
Enriques urged me use the 
single spur which he halt attached 
to my borrowed American army 
boots but I had a certain fellow- 
feeling for the mule and only pre- 
tended to dig in the spur when 
Enriques was looking. 
About three miles from the bor- 
der the mule gave up. We left him 
at a peasant’s adobe hut and con- 
tinued walking. 
I missed my footing in the mud 
and plunged into the water, soaking 
myself and my baggage. My cam-

Crossing this in the ‘dark was 
jittery. I had only one hand to 
support myself—the other hand 
clutched my soaked baggage. 
The last three miles were flat 
without precipices. But the path 
was a knee-deep, muddy river. It 
was even slower going.

Field Marshal Alexander Papa- 
gos, premier of Greece, is taking 
another step in building up his 
ancient little country’s importance 
in the Western aligriment against 
Communist aggression. 
He is to arrive in Bonn Wednes- 
day for a six-day state visit to 
West German Chancellor Konrad 
Adenauer.

also military cooperation when 
Germany enters the Western de- 
fense set-up. 
No world - shaking decisions are 
to be expeeted from the talks. But 
they will emphasize what Papa- 
gos has done to ipcrease the pres- 
tige of Greece, which only a few 
years ago was in chaos. 
Papagos is decidedly not a man 
of peace. He has been a hero in 
two wars and in Greek politics 
he is oftener than not embroiled 
in some sort of dissension.

Headlines like those come often 
out of Athens. 
But Papagos is helping material- 
ly to build up the allied strength 
against communism and thus to 
strengthen the chance of peace. 
He has entered an alliance with 
Turkey and Yugoslavia, once ene- 
mies of Greece. The pact with 
Yugoslavia was entered into de- 
spite the fact that it is a Commu- 
nist country and that Papagos is 
one of the bitterest of anti-Com-

nauer paid to Greece Inst March. 
It is one of the few such visits 
To the amazement of the world, 
the little Greek army under Papa- 
gos sent the Fascists fleeing to 
the hills. Then came the German 
invasion. 
That fight was hopeless. Papa- 
gos refused to leave after defeat 
and was kept in a series of Nazi 
concentration camps until Ameri- 
can troops freed him. 
Papagos came to the United 
States and returned to Greece in 
1946. The Communist rebels were 
already becoming a menace. But 
it was not until 1949 that Papagos 
was asked to take the field against 
them. He routed them within a 
few months. 
He entered politics for the first 
time in the 1952 election as head 
of the conservative party, and won 
by a landslide. 
  
Union, Company 
Agree on Plans 
to Keep Operating 
PORT HURON (#—Agreement 
has been reached on a program 
designed to keep 460 employes 
working at a nearby Marysville 
automotive parts plant. 
Harold C. Davis, president of 
Local 689 CIO United Auto Work- 
ers, and John D. Leighton, execu- 
tive vice president of Pressed 
Metals of America, Inc., made a 
joint announcement of the program 
yesterday. 
Earlier, Davis had announced 
the local members had agreed to 
take p pay cut if it was necessary 
fo keep the plant operating. 
The program provides that the 
union agrees to withdraw strike 
action and settle 8) per‘cent of 
its’ grievances. These grievances 
have been under discussion since 
last January. The company also 
agrees to provide the locs”s bar- 
gaining committee with a com- 
plete contract of proposals which 
the firm feels are necessary for 
profitable operation 
Leighton advised the union last 
Friday that the company, manu- 
facturers. of automotive wheel sus- 
pensions and bushings, would be 
forced into liquidation unless a 
seven-point list of demands were 
met. The company recently lost 
Ford and General Motors con- 
tracts.

|Farm Hassle 
Takes fo Air Two Congressmen Will 
Answer Nixon, Benson 
on Nationwide Radio 
WASHINGTON (INS)—President 
Eisenhower and Agriculture~Secre- 
tary Ezra Taft Benson have sig- 
nalled their intentions to fight to 
the finish for their farm program, 
and at least two congressional 
leaders have accepted the chal- 
lenge. 
Reps. Clifford Hope (R-Kan) 
and Harold Cooley (D-NC), ‘will 
take to the nation’s airways 
Wednesday night to answer 
charges made last night in a simi- 
lar broadcast by Benson and Vice 
President Richard Nixon 
Nixen and Benson tore into the 
rigid, high price support program 
which the House Committee 
headed by Hepe, voted to ex- 
tend for ene year. 
The congressmeh—the two most 
powerful farm spokesmen in the 
House—will tell the public why 
they believe a one-year continua- 
tion of 90 per cent of parity price 
supports on the six basic com- 
modities is in the best interest of 
the nation. 
Hope is slated also to tell part of 
his story Wednesday afternoon on 
another nationwide show, Benson 
will be guest of the same program 
today. 
This action of a Republican 
committe chairman and the 
ranking Democrat on his com- 
mittee getting equal time on the 
air te answer farm statements 
It is undoubtedly true that more 
Democrats than Republicans favor 
the continued high price supports 
initiated by Democratic adminis- 
trations. 
At the same time, however, the 
Eisenhower proposals have been 
pushed aside in favor of continued 
90 per cent supports by Republi- 
can dominated agriculture commit- 
tees in both houses.

to Write Fire Insurance 
LAPEER — After writing only 
windstorm insurance for 58 years, 
the State Mutual Cyclone Insurance

the move to meet the trend of 
selling windstorm and fire insur-

wind damage insurance alone, as 
well as fire insurance-only policies.

_THE_ 
Stocks Lower, 
Then Up Again NEW.YORK — A selling wave 
rocked the stock market today, 
bringing losses of two points and 
more in some issues, but a subse- 
quent recovery movement brought 
prices up from their lows. 
Selling became urgent shortly af- 
ter the second hour began and the 
ticker fell behind in recording 
transactions,- The tape soon 
cleared, however, and some stocks 
moved to the upside. 
Du Pont, a feature yesterday 
with a rise of 15% points, was a 
target for profit-taking today. At 
“lone ume it was down 9 points but 
later traded off 5% 
Wall Street observers said they 
were not too disturbed by the fall 
in the market. Yesterday it hit a 
new high since Oct, 22, 1923, and 
that meant it was vulnerable to 
  profit-taking, Some sources said 
lthey considered a correction long 
overdue 
In early afternoon, scattered plus 
signs appeared in the list, The }. 
motors and.chemicals were mixed, 
but other groups were mostly 
lower. 
Higher stocks included Republic

Consolidated Edison, Phelps Dodge,

A former Waterford Township

Un-American Activities Committee, 
named Charles H. Bisdee in his re- 
cital of co-Communists during their

Showboat Memories CHICAGO (UP) — Metropolitan 
counties have taken on new func- 
tions of government, according to 
the International City Managers’ 
Association. They no longer are 
mere subdivisions of the state. 
Information collected by the asso- 
ciation in q study of 174 counties 
with more than 100,000 population 
included the following: 
Thirty-six of the counties pro- 
vide a measure of fire protection, 
26 provide street lighting, 24 pro- 
vide garbage collection and dispo- 
sal service, 17 are active in public 
housing. and 72 provide library 
service. 
The association said activities by 
metropolitan counties in planning 
and zoning are especially indica- 
tive of the added responsibilities 
assumed. 
Eighty-nine counties, or 51 per 
cent of the 174 surveyed, have offi- 
cial planning agencies. Twelve of 
them’ are joint city-count agencies 
and two are regional. 
The functions and problems of 
metropolitan county governments 
have increased with the movement 
of city dwellers to suburban areas, 
the association said.   former university faculty members Ex-UM Student

WASHINGTON ® — A former 
University of Michigan student yes- 
terday told the House Un-American 
Activities Committee of the alleged 
Communist activities of seven 
and 30 former students. ; 
Francis X. T. Crowley, a 28 
year-old New York draftsman, 
made his statements in the pres- 
ence of four of the ex-students he | 
tagged as members of Communist | 
organizations while attending | 
Michigan. 
The four turned down a chance | 
to deny Crowley's testimony. They 
were Robert H. Silk, 28; Norman 
Cazden, Bridgeport, Conn. mu- 
sician who formerly taught at 
Michigan and at the University of 
Illinois; Lester Beberfall, a Ches- | 
ter County Pa. high school teacher,

in Ann Arbor Communist cir- 
cles. 
Arthur Brandon, director of uni- 
versity relations, said all but two 
persons on Crowley's list were only 
names in old files at the Ann 
Arbor school. 
Brandon said two students named 
by Crowley, Lee Salk and an Ed- 
ward Shaffer, were on campus 
now. , = 
Shaffer recently appeared be- 
fore a Communist hearing in De- 
troit by a House subcommittee 
headed by Rep. Clardy (R-Mich). 
Salk Was identified as a 27- 
year-old graduate student enrolled 
last semester. 
Four others identified by Crow- 
ley, but not present, were C. H. 
Bisdee, a lawyer: Jacob Geist, 
now teaching in Israel; and Mar- 
tin Hoffman, now associated with 
a Detroit school. 
Crowley told committee Chair- 
man Velde (R-Ili) thar he quit 
the Communist party on leaving 
Michigan in 1950. 
He said he joined the Commu- 
nists in 1946 shortly after he 
left the Army and was seeking 
“some sort of faith or ideology.” 
The former Michigan student told 
the committee he knew now that 
he was ‘wrong’ when he worked 
for the Communists. He said he 
decided to tell his story on the 
advice of a Catholic priest.

Pessimism

NEW YORK #—Having shot the

inessmen at midyear look for 
pleasanter sailing come fall, 
The summer doldrums may: help 
in a number of cases. The factory 
shutdowns for July vacations 
should trim inventories a_ little 
more, let new orders and consumer 
demand build up. cn 
. s 
Fo# fall the outlook is for more 
new orders on the books; better 
sales, fewer layoffs, high weekly 
work hours, with factory employ- 
ment rolls either at their present 
levels or rising if orders come in 
as now seems likely. 
Most retailers seem confident 
now that in the next six months 
they can equal sales volume of 
a year ago. Some think they can 
surpass it. If so, it'll be a merry 
Christmas. 
Few in industry and trade, how- 
ever, look for sharp gains. They 
think, rather, that the long decline 
in business is over or about so, 
that the adjustment will continue 
here and there in some industries 
till fall, t after Labor Day there 
are likely to be more plus signs 
than minus ones in the economy. 
  Optimism Climbing. Slumps, 
  Industrial output continued its 
downward slide until May, a total 
drop of 10 per cent. : 
Factory sales dropped 8 per cent. 
with the sales of durable goods 
down 12 per cent and the soft 
goods selling about as well as ever. 
In sections where the economy is 
based largely on the manufacture 
of durable goods, the winter and 
spring were not happy ones. 
° . Ld] 
Some manufacturers aren't out 
of the woods yet. As a whole, 
they've knocked down their inven- 
tories of raw materials by 10 per 
cent and pared their stocks-in- 
process a little, but’it's only since 
late spring that their stocks of 
finished goods have stopped piling 
up. 
The two saving notes in all this 
are: : 
1. The consumer goes on buy- 
ing about as much as ever, al- 
though shifting considerably from 
one class of goods fo another and 
becoming more insistent in looking 
for a bargain. 
2.. Earnings hold much better 
than output and sales. ; 
Tax cuts help in both instances.)
