A Czech bus snorting up to the

marked the end of 12 days of
■nt effort by the U.S. military
State Department to obtain
release.
Spying Charged
Czech authorities had accused
- seven of being on a spying
ission when they were picked up.
U.S. government branded this
false and countered that the
r. had been “kidnaped.”
How the release was finally
ed upon was not made public.
„ily before the turnover was
ade, the U.S. Embassy at
said it knqw nothing about
thejnen would be freed.
Washington, the State Depart-
t said no concessions were
ade to Czechoslovakia to obtain
lease of the men.
If the usual Communist pattern
followed, the men were sub-
^„sd to long hours of questioning,
uch of it at night. Observers
surprised that the two men
allowed to bring back their

Red domination of millions of
Indochinese.
Reports To Counsel
Dulles is reported to have made
these points in reporting to the
White House and the National Se-
curity Council on his flying visit to
Paris.
Dulles has cautioned the Presi-
dent and top advisors that even
though Mendes-France is optimis-
tic over prospects for negotiating
an honorable truce, negotiations
could break down in disagreement.
In such an event, he is under-
stood to believe it may be neces-
sary for the United States to join
other non-Communist nations in
auiek action aimed at protecting
the rest of strategic Southeast Asia.
No US Intervention
Dulles has emphasized to Men-
des-France. it was said, that the
United States will never intervene
in Southeast Asia alone, but only
with other nations and aftw prior
congressional approval.
The official U.S. government at-
titude toward any partition ar-
rangement which might be nego-
tiated to halt the bloody eight-year
old war can be summed up as
follows:
The United States is not happy
over the terms because it enslaves
millions of Indochinese. But, as the
same time, it will not go to war
to upset such a settlement or en-
courage other countries to fight to
block it.
Lessen Danger
It js argued that such a peace,
while far from perfect, does halt
the a>ctual fighting, lessening the
chanc*' that it will explode into a
worldwide atomic war.
President Eisenhower and the
National Security Council, It was
reported, have advised Dulles that
the understandings reached are
satisfactory from the American
view.
Overseas dispatches reported to-
day that American officials have
reluctantly decided a line about
the 16th parallel represents the
best the French can get from the
Communists in Viet Nam, the big-
gest of the Jndochina states.
Protect Two States
Dalles hat; advised the White
House that it would be possible to
protect the other two Indochina
states, Laos and Cambodia, from
future Red aggression, even in the
event these two states are
‘neutralized’’ as part of any truce
agreement.
This could be done, he believes,
by the United States and other
countries linked in a Southeast
Asia pact which could specifically
guarantee defense of these states
even though they might not be
members of the alliance.

Top Senators
(Continued from Page One)
authorizes Senate Republican Lead-
er William F, Knowland to offer
a motion to table any move to
force a Senate vote this session on
matters involving organization and
operation of the Senate.
“I'm not surprised,” Flanders
told a reporter. He said he had
not decided whether to meet the
issue head-on or to try some other
action, such as a motion of censure
against McCarthy which would not
involve "Senate organization and
operation.’
Knowland said Wednesday when
Flanders announced his decision to
act Tuesday that ne would offer a
motion to lay aside the Flanders
proposal.
Flanders' resolution to strip Mc-
Carthy of his chairmanships for
alleged “contempt" of the Senate
is now tied up in the Senate Rules
committee. Flanders plans to of-
fer a motion to force the matter
out of committee and onto the Sen-
ate floor.
The resolution charges that Mc-
Carthy showed "contempt of his
peers” by refusing to answer ques-
tions about his finances raised by
a Democratic - controlled Senate
Elections subcommittee in Jan-
uary, 1953.

Raft Sailors
(Continued from Page One)
damned glad to get off that raft.
I was darn seasick and was hungry
all the time.”
No More Shark Meat
Grosvenor Fearon, 22-year-old
son of Dr. Arthur Fearon, Univers-
ity of San Francisco professor and
sponsor of the expedition, said that
the next time, the expedition could
“go without a radioman.”
Lamont Hawks, 23-year-old Og-
den. Utah, artist, said that he
hoped they had a better bill-of-fare
on the next trip.
"No more shark meat for me. . .
and na more bananas, either,” he
said. ^
Hawks also said he did not be-
lieve the leak in the Lehi's bow
was “bad enough to abandon the
raft.”
Thus ended the cruise of the
Lehi. When the craft left here last
Friday, crewmen hoped to drift
2,400 miles to Hawaii in the raft as
"shakedown” cruise for a longer
trip from the Persian Gulf to
Central America tio prove a Bibli-
cal theory of migration to this con-
tinent.
But when the first feeble distress
signals were heard Wednesday
night, the Lehi, caught by strong
coastal currents, had drifted 200
miles toward the south and was
headed toward the Mexican coast.
The Lehi's luckless voyage was

51,710 Collected
In Police Court
Total fines from Corporation
Court brought the city $1,710.25 dur-
ing June, accdtding to the police
department report for the month.
There were 1.936 traffic violation
charges and 50 criminal charges
filed.
Overtime parking accounted for
most of the traffic tickets with
1,706 listed while speeding was sec-
ond with 62. Nearly half, 24, of
the criminal charges were for
drunkenness.
climaxed Wednesday night when
monitoring stations picked up
radioman Don Smith’s SOS which
said:
“SOS. Taking water. Bow opened
by heavy seas. Need tow quick.
Sinkable condition.”
The Coast Guard immediately
dispatched the cutter Alert and two
amphibious planes to the Lehi’s
aid. The Alert and the cutter Ac-
tive were ordered to stand by when
the Metapan radioed it had res-
cued the crew.
Midwestern
Heat Biamed
In 126 Deaths
Bv The Aiiorltlnl I’rtss
I Heat deaths in the nation rose
to more than 177 Thursday- 126
of them in Oklahoma, Kansas and
Missouri.
j Those three states bore the brunt
'of the hot weather blast the last
few days. Temperatures went as
high as 120 degrees.
Ktorm Dumage
Meanwhile, northeastern states
tallied deaths and damage follow-
ing violent storms which broke the
heat wave there.
Besides the 126 deaths in three
states, another 51 fatalities were
scattered across the nation, from
heat prostration, drowning and
from storms.
High winds and lightning ac-
counted for millions of dollars of
damage from Ohio and southern
Michigan through Pennsylvania
and New York to the Atlantic
Coast. The storm Iron! formed in
the conflict between the hot air
mass and a cooler mass flowing
out of the Rocky Mountain section.
Eurlv Morning Cool
Early Thursday temperatures
under the cool cover were as much
as 40 degrees under the highs on
Wedhesday, when many points in
the eastern half of the nation re-
corded the highest temperatures in
history.
St. Louis was hardest hit with 35
dead from heat effects this week.
Meanwhile, hot weather that has
blanketed Texas two weeks eased
slightly Thursday, but weathermen
still weren't predicting any wide-
spread relief.
A heavy mid-afternoon thunder-
shower at El Paso dropped the
temperture 19 degrees in an hour.
It was 84 at 1:30 p.m. and 65 an
hour later. By 3:30, however, the
mercury was back up to 80 de-
grees. The El Paso weather sta-
tion reported .35 inch fell in the
shower which reduced visibility to
three miles. Pre-shower turbulence
kicked up local blowing dust.
Cool Front Gone
A weak cool front that' moved
into the Panhandle from Colorado
Wednesday dissipated.
Greenville hiid the day's top, 104,
and Dallas had its 11th consecutive
day of 100-plus weather with 103.
All-Candidate
Rally Slated
The League of Women Voters
and the Junior Chamber of Com-
merce are cooperating in arranging
a soap box rally for county and dis-
trict candidates at 8 p.m. Tuesday
in Central Park.
All voters are invited to attend
and bring their families, said Mrs.
H. H. Hahn president. The pur-
pose of the meeting Is to promote
"informed and active participation
of citizens in government."
Each candidate will be alloled
three minutes in which to make
his basic points. Those candidates
who do not live here will be notified
by telephone or telegram.
Mrs. Hahn will preside. A Jay-
cee member, to be named later
will introduce candidates. Mrs
W. A. Breining, a league member
will be timekeeper. The Rev. Wood-
row Adcock, pastor of the First
Methodist Church, will give the
opening prayer.
A brief talk explaining the pre-
cinct conventions, which will be
held the same day of the primary,
July 24, will be given by represen-
tatives of both Democrats and Re-
publicans.
Tootie
(Continued from Page One)
Tootie grew up, apparently, be-
lieving she was a housecat, too,
and probably wonders why she
grew to such great size.
The bobcat stays inside, in front
of the air conditioner, most of the
time, Mrs. Anderson said. And no
watchdog is necessary around the
Anderson place at night, for Tootie
sleeps right at the foot of Mrs.
Anderson’s bed.
Tootie is well housebroken and
even utilizes bathroom facilities.
She has been featured in several
South Texas publications because
of her good manners.
Tootie loves strangers and her
early morning romp. She lives
high, too being fed four or five
rabbits a week at a cost of about
seven dollars to the Andersons.
True to bobcat habit, she likes
dark, cool places in the hot day-
time.
The word "dollar” is a modified
form of “thaler.”
