China and Russia
Continue Feud
Over Test Ban
By JOHN RODERICK
TOKYO UP—Red China charged
today that enslavement of n o n -
nuclear nations is an aim of the
big three partial test ban treaty.
It described Soviet leaders—along
with Britons and Americans — as
freaks and monsters operating
with insolent arrogance.
The Peking People’s Daily, of
ficial newspaper of the Chinese
Communist party, paired the
Kremlin with the Washington ad
ministration in a fresh denuncia
tion of the pact to be signed in
Moscow Monday.
Both sides in the Moscow-Pe
king feud again named names.
The Soviet government news
paper Izvestia charged Chinese
Premier Chou En-Lai showed in
sincerity as long as four years ago.
Illustrating that, it said Chou
launched a campaign against the
Soviet Communist party shortly
after he endorsed Kremlin lead
ership at the 1959 party congress
in Moscow.
Stalinist Albania, a Soviet bloc
outcast long allied with China, took
a potshot at Premier Khrushchev.
It accused him of “unconditional
concessions and capitulation to the
imperialists” in agreeing to the nu
clear test ban.
The Soviet news agency T a s s
played up an attack on the Chi
nese Communists by a Red leader
of Chile, Orlando Millas. Under a
Santiago dateline, it quoted Millas
as accusing the Peking regime of
adopting a reactionary viewpoint
on the danger of a nuclear war,
divisive activities and defense of
“all that was negative in the
(Stalinist) personality cult.”
Republicans State Party
Position On Test Ban
WASHINGTON M — The Re
publican leadership in Congress
said today the nuclear test ban
treaty is in the interest of Am
ericans only “if it can be had
without endangering our safety or
security.”
The party position was summed
up formally for the first time in
a statement asserting that before
the Senate acts on ratification, its
members “should have every bit
of information necessary” to see
that it meets that test.
Among questions raised by the
Republicans, headed by Sen. Ever
ett Dirksen, the Senate minority
leader, and Rep. Charles Halleck,
the House GOP leader, were:
1. Would the test ban treaty per
mit the Soviet Union to overcome
any margin remaining to the U.S.
and eventually establish marked
superiority?
2. If Soviet superiority were
gained, would the peace of the
world be in safer hands than when
the United States enjoyed the
edge?

Dr. Ward Fails to Respond |
To Treatment For
Overdose of Drugs
LONDON UFi — Dr. Stephen
Ward failed to respond to treat
ment for an overdose of dm"s and
bronchial pneumonia and drifted
closer to death today.
The society osteopath has been
in a coma since he took an over
dose of drugs Wednesday shortly
before he was convicted of living
off the earnings of prostitutes.
Julie Gulliver, 25, a red-haired
singer who was Ward’s daily com
panion during his trial, told news
men:
“There’s a whole crowd of peo
ple right now praying for Stephen
to die so that their names won’t
be mentioned.
“If he dies I’m going to make
sure that they are.”
Ward, 50, society osteopath and
artist, has been in a coma since J
Wednesday when he took an over
dose of drugs a few hours before
an Old Baily jury convicted him
of living off the prostitution of
Christine Keeler, 21, and Marilyn
Mandy Riee-Davies, 18.
Ward developed bronchial pneu
monia Thursday afternoon. At one
point his breathing stopped and
he was clinically dead. A breath
ing machine, applied to an incision
in his throat, pumped air into his
lungs.
Ward was still unaware that he
had been found guilty and faced
up to 14 years in prison.
His private room was bright
with flowers sent in by many of
his girl friends.
Only Miss Gulliver had applied
to see him. She was turned away
in tears as an official said, “Only
relatives—no girls.”

shooting of Martel Jackson, 39,
must await the release of his wife i
from Ketchikan General Hospital

while they and their two children
were fishing from their salmon
troller off Prince of Wales Island.

Miss Universe in Miami Beach re
cently.
Other girls chosen by Sellers for
the new film include Miss Sweden,
Kersten Jonsson; Miss Norway,
Eva Carlberg; Miss Italy, Gianna
Serra; Miss France, Monique Le
maire; Miss Cuba, Alicia Chia of
Miami Beach; and Miss Canada,
Jane Kmita.
And here is Nina's own account
of the Miss Universe judging:
“The contest was very exciting,
but the best part was meeting and
living with girls from all corners
of the world.
“My room-mate was a wonder
ful and beautiful girl from the Re
public of South Africa. We became
the best of friends and some day,
some how, I'm going to visit her'.
“It was sad to leave all your new
and interesting friends after
everything was over. As for the
actual contest—believe me it was
more work than you could im
agine. Rehearsal hours were long
and tiring and at the end of the
day your feet were twice their
normal size from the heat and
standing in one spot all day. It
has its good side and its bad side
and I think I can sum up every
thing by saying — “What an ex
perience!”
Costume
“The creative costume designed
by Betty Crouch in Anchorage won
second prize in the Best State Cos
tume division. It is made to repre
sent a king salmon or silver sal
mon of Alaska.
“First prize was taken by Flori
da, Miss Florida being dressed in
a $7,000 astronaut outfit furnished
temporarily bv the Navy for the
event.
“Peter Sellers, the well known
English actor, was a judge at the
Miss Universe contest. He selected
seven girls 'all different types) to
be in his next movie “The World
of Henry Orient.”
“The girls were chosen from
Canada, Norway, Sweden, Italy,
France, Cuba, and Alaska. I’m
just bursting with joy over the
contract was United Artists, even
though it is only for a short tenn.
I feel especially proud to be the
only girl from the United States.
“In the early part of Septem
ber we are all to go to New York
and the filming will be done on
Long Island.”

Row In Senate
()ver Raeial
Discrimination Bill
WASHINGTON W — A blister
ng political row among Senate
Commerce Committee members
capped today their hearings on
President Kennedy’s bill to ban
■acini discrimination in places of
aublic accomodation.
The uproar was touched off by
questions by Sen. Hugh Scott. R
Pa., put to Minnesota’s Demo
cratic Gov. Karl Rolvaag who had
testified for the bill.
Scott asked Rolvaag if he had
voted at the recent governors con
ference in Miami to abolish the
resolutions committee so that the
state executives could avoid taking
a stand on civil rights issues.
Rolvaag replied he had voted to
abolish the resolutions committee
but not for the purpose Scott
stated. He said there was a full,
free, open discussion of civil
rights at the conference, with "no
gagging” of anyone.
Scott said one Republican gov
ernor — meaning Gov. Nelson A.
Rockefeller of New York — had
sought to have action taken on
civil rights. He asked if Rolvaag
had not joined in voting to table
the motion.
Rolvaag replied that the execu
tive committee was directed by a
38-3 vote to study civil rights
matters thoroughly and to report
back later.
Sen. John O. Pastore, D-R.I.,
protested that Scott’s questioning
was “absolutely unfair and un
called for.”
He said the questions carried a
strong implication that Rolvaag
had come before the committee to
testify for civil rights after having
tried to put a gag on the issue at
the governors conference.
