Indochina Reds Wreck Trains
I Laden With American Supplies
| HANOI, Indochina, July 8—(UP)—Rebel Indochinese
| saboteurs blew up two trains loaded with American sup-
I lilies for French union defenders of the shrunken Red river
delta, the high command said today.
The guerrillas struck when the trains passed Kesat, near
the halfway point on the rail-
road connecting Hanoi with
Haiphong, its port of entry
for U. S. furnished supplies.
Shortly after the high command
received word of the guerrillas’
sneak attack, French warplanes
roared out of airfields at Hanoi
and rained bombs on bases used by
the saboteurs against the vital life-
line.
Lines Infiltrated
Other Small but well-knit groups
of rebels were reported to have in-
filtrated the new French line from
the southern sector of the delta
which French Union forces suddenly
abandoned last week.
A French army source said ele-
ments of Communist divisions were
edging across the Bamboo canal,
which forms part of the new south-
ern defense perimeter about 40
miles southeast of Hanoi.
Rebel regulars continued to pour
fire against the gates of Hung Yen,
last French-held city south of the
Hanoi-Haiphong road. Latest reports
said intense rebel mortar fire was
being directed against Hung Yen.
War Reaches Hanoi
The roar of artillery fire could be
heard in Hanoi also, but the shells
are indications of election law vio-
lations.
Murray said he still has commis-

Murray also had plainclothes of-
ficers watching in Oklahoma, Tulsa,
Pottawatomie, Creek and Latimer
counties.
"I certainly will declare martial
law again if it is necessary," he
said. "It depends on whether they
are out peddling ballots again."
The first primary investigation

He said a second martial law or-

same counties.
Electrical Storms Injure Girl
But Fail To Break Heat Wave
U.S. Plans To
Exercise Veto
Against China
Dulles Is Confident
Red Chinese Won’t
Sit in UN Council
WASHINGTON, July 8 —(>»»)—
Secretary of State Dulles said today
the United States would use its veto,
if necessary, to keep Red China out
of the UN security council.
Dulles expressed complete con-
fidence the Red China regime would
be unable to gain admittance at the
fall gession to any of the principal
UN organizations, including the as-
sembly.
At a news conference, Dulles de-
nounced the Peiping regime for
flouting the united nations in Ko-
rea. supporting the Communists in
Indochina and generally failing to
fulfill international obligations.
Dulles said firmly, In answer to
questions, he did not believe there
would be any occasion for the Uni-
ted States to withdraw from the
united nations if Red China is ad-
mitted, as Sen. Knowland <Republi-
can-Calif ornia) has proposed.
Ike Backs Stand
1>lk of pulling out of the united
nations, he said, strikes a note of
defeatism which is entirely un-
justified because the United States
and like-minded countries have a
powerful case for blocking Red
China's membership.
President Eisenhower said yester-
day he is "completely and unalter-
ably opposed under the present
situation to the admission of Red
China to the united nations."
His stand was believed to have
warded off likelihood of any early
senate action to put congress on rec-
ord with formal notice of American
withdrawal if Red China should be
admitted, as suggested by Know-
land.
Proposal Not Expected
Knowland himself has been cool-
ing on his idea and Sen. George
< Democrat-Oeorgia) said in an in-
terview he does not now expect such
a proposal to be offered.
George, who Is senior Democrat
on the senate foreign relations com-
ntfuee. said he would oppose such
a move because it "might deprive us
of freedom of action at a critical
time."
Dulles also said in dealing with
other matters;
Won’t Return to Geneva
1. Neither he or Under Secretary
Walter Bedell Smith has any pre-
sent plans to return to the Geneva
far east conference, even though
Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov,
French Premier Pierre Mendes-
France and Chinese Communist
Foreign Minister Chou En-Lai have
made arrangements to do so. He
does not wholly exclude this pos-
sibility, however.
2. The United States hopes and
expects to grant full diplomatic re-
cognition to the new government
of Guatemala after that regime
lias demonstrated willingness and
ability to meet existing interna-
tional obligations.
3. He hopes present talks with
Britain aimed at creating an anti-
communist defense in southeast
Asia can be wound up quickly and
that other non-Communist coun-
tries will join.

MAP FINAL EFFORTS—With less than three weeks to
go before the runoff election on July 27, William O. Coe,
left, and Raymond Gary, finalists in the Democratic gov-
ernor race, are mapping their closings “no-holds-barred”
campaigns. Coe led Gary by a slight margin in the last
count of Tuesday’s election.
Runoff Election Foes Regroup
Forces; Hot Battles Foreseen
OKLAHOMA C ITY, July 8—(UP)—Candidates prepar-
ed for a “total war” campaign today in the battle for Okla-
homa’s Democratic nomination for U. S. Senate and gover-
nor three weeks away.
Nothing but a "gloves-off” battle was expected of the
contenders—Sen. Robert S. Kerr and Roy J. Turner for sen-
ator, and state Sen. Raymond Gary and'William O. Coe for
governor.
| Voters will decide the issue
Tuesday, July 27.
The outcome of the struggle be-
tween the two oil millionaire senate
candidates will settle « quarrel dat-
ing back to the days when each
served as governor.
May Renrfit GOP
Prospects for a bitter campaign
cheered Republicans, who profited
from a similar situation in 1950
when they nearly won in the No-
vember general election.
Kerr led Turner by about 35,000
votes, but seven "little candidates
who polled slightly more than 40,-
000 forced a runoff.
Coe held a lead of some 3,000
votes over Gary in the governor's
race.
Coe, an Oklahoma City attorney,
is a fiery speaker who already has
blistered Gary as a "machine can-
didate" and a “draft dodger"—the
same tactics that took him right up
to the door of the nomination in
1950. He almost overcame a first-
primary handicap of 88,000 votes
that year by moving to within 1,000
of Johnston Murray In the runoff.
To Renew Attacks
Gary normally is a mild cam-
paigner, but some of his followers
believe he will toss a few bombs of
his own to keep the pace set by Coe.
In the senate fight, Turner has
attacked Kerr vigorously as "the
man who wasn't there" at senate
rollcall time, and he is expected to
push even harder to overcome the
senator's present margin.
The primary fight will be eyed
closely by Raymond Fields, Guymon,
and Fred Mock, Oklahoma City, who
will be fighting a runoff battle of
their own for the Republican sena-
torial nomination. Fields outdis-
tanced Mock in the first primary,
but, as in Kerr's case, lesser-knowns
forced a runoff.
Reuben Sparks, Woodward, won
the GOP nomination outright for
governor.
Human Side
OKLAHOMA CITY, July 8—
(U.R)—A Texas motorist today
paid a high compliment to an
Oklahoma officer—lor the way
the officer arrested him.
H. Dortle Prater of Baytown,
Tex., wrote a letter to the head
of the Oklahoma highway patrol
in praise of Trooper Tom Ballard
of Vinita. In it he told how he
caused a traffic accident June 25
in Ballard's district by driving too
close to a car in front of him.
Prater said Ballard gave him
a ticket and took him to Vinita
to pay his fine. But it was such
a hot day Ballard invited him to
his cool home during the noon
hour. The Texan was impressed
by the friendliness shown him
and his family by Ballard and
his wife, even though it didn't
reduce the size of the traffic
fine.
“We had received the repri-
mand due and the instruction es-
sential for a safe trip, plus the
extra personal kindliness which
seems to have disappeared from
so many of our homes,” the
Texan wrote.
“You are to be complimented,
sir, for having a patrolman on
your force who can uphold the
dignity and respect for the law
first and who also reserves such
decent consideration for total
strangers.”

Gunmen Gain
$42,755 In
Bank Robbery
SOUTH GATE. Calif., July 8—
—A teller out for a cup of coffee
was followed back to a Bank of
America branch today by two gun-
men who wired together the feet
of eight employes and escaped with
*42,755.
They apparently fled in a car
driven by a third man.
Teller Richard (M. Rug, 26, said
he entered the bank at 8 a. m. and
15 minutes later went to a nearby
corner shop for a cup of coffee.
On his way back he was followed
by the two men. One shoved a gun
against his back and told him to let
them into the bank.
Inside, the robbers ordered bank
employes to sit in chairs behind the
tellers' cages as they arrived for
work ai.d bound their feet with iron
wire.
The thieves forced Manager Walt-
er J. Behm and Mrs. Betty Oliver,
a stenographer—each of whom
knows half the combination — to
open the vault. They fled and Behm
telephoned police.
