'Confidential' Editor Missing On Chicago Trip

Rushmore, Seeking Red Leader, Receives Call, Disappears

'CHICAGO tif^-PoUce today in­vestigated the disappearance of Howard Rushmore. 43. editor of Confidential, a bimonthly national magazine, who has been missing since early Thursday.

Rushmore. who came to Chicago Monday from his home in New York City, failed to keep an ap­pointment yesterday with Detective Frank Heimoski.

Police said Rushmore came to Ciicago to work on a story in con­nection with the death of James Forrestal, the former secretary of the Navy and Defense Depart­ments. They said Rushmore had appeared on a Chicago TV pro­gram Wednesday night and said he was looking for a Chicago Com­munist party leader.

Rushmore at one time was film editor of the Communist Daily Worker but he broke with the party in the 1930s. He has been a wit­ness against the Communist con­spiracy before several congression­al committees. Until last fall he j was a reporter on the New York Journal American, specializing in J articles about communism.

In New York City, Rushmore's wife, Frances, said she knew of no acquaintance of her husband by the name of Larry. Mrs. Rush-more, who is women's page editor of the New York Journal Ameri­can, said Robert Harrison, publish­e r of Confidential, had telephoned her Thursday and said he was "worried about Howard."

"He was to call in yesterday and didn't." Mrs. Rushmore quo­ted Harrison. "I 'm really wor­ried. He was on a real hot story."

Police said Harrison was ex­pected in Chicago to aid in investigation.

2 Youths Held In Fake SOS Signal Stunt

Mystery of Fishing Boat Incident Bared to Police

WOODMERE, N.Y. W — Two youths were held early today as police unravelled the mystery of ths fishing boat Blue Star.

An SOS signal, purportedly com­ing from the vessel, sent coast guard rescue craft on a $50,000 search of the Atlantic early Thurs­day.

Nassua County police said one of the youths, a 21-year-old for­mer crewman on a commercial fishing boat, admitted that he beamed the phoney distress signal to show his 17-year-old pal how a "real radio works."

The older youth was identified as Thomas Maldona, of East Roc-away, N.Y., laid off six weeks ago from the fishing boat St. Jo­seph. •

His companion was George Teen, of Oceanside, N.Y.

Police said the youths, who broke into the radio shack of the St. Joseph, were charged with a third-degree burglary.

They are expected to be turned over for prosecution by the Feder­al Communications Commission as soon as a warrant is obtained from a federal judge.

Under commission regulations, a hoaxer faking a disaster at sea faces a $10,000 fine, a year in pris­on or both.

Dramatic Story The distress signal said the 40-

foot fishing boat Blue Star was sinking with 21 persons aboard aft­er striking a "strange object" 30 miles off Bamegat. N.J.

The message said a boiler room explosion set the boat ablaze, blocking access to life preservers. The last radio telephoned message

Coast Guard air and sea craft patrolled some 4,000 square miles of the sea in the area pinpointed in the message only to find an oil slick and a torn, unmarked lifejacket bobbing in the water. Neither was necessarily an Indica­tion of a disaster, the coast guard said.

The search, which cost the gov­ernment $50,000 was called off aft­er 30 hours, when it was ascer­tained that all boats listed as the blue star were accounted fqr, no submarine was tn the area and that no calls from relatives were

Appearance |Of Adoption 'Pawn' Ordered

DEDHAM, Mass. Ofl —Probate Court Judge James F. Reynold has demanded the immediate ap­pearance of Hildy McCoy, the 4-year-old pawn in a long religious-adoption dispute.

HUdy is in the custody of Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Ellis of Brook-line, a Jewish couple. Her natural mother. Marjorie, Who gave her in adoption to the EUises four years ago, wants her back. Mar­jorie is Roman Catholic.

Hildy's mother is seeking to re­voke the adoption under Massa­chusetts law which says where practicable a child must be given in adoption to foster parents of the same religious faith.

The Ellises, who have had Hildy since she was 10-days-old, say they do not believe the child's mother, now Mrs. Marjorie McCoy Do-he rty of Hingham, wants her. El­lis says he believes the mother wants to give her in adoption to someone else.

Last week Judge Reynolds set a day and hour for the Ellises to surrender the child. They did not appear. They were "out of town." An order went out for Ellis' ar­rest. Authorities could not find him.

Yesterday J u d g e Reynolds signed a habeas, corpus writ di­recting Sheriff Samuel Wragg to bring Hildy before him "fort-with." But first Wra ig must find Ellis, who has said p e is ready to do anything-^possible even go to jail—to keep Hildy.

Summer Season's Longest Heat Wave Now in Prospect

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Another day of the summer sea­

son's longest heat wave was the uncomfortable outlook today for the Eastern half of the nation.

There was some hope that a little relief might reach the baked Mid­west over the weekend, but swel­tering teperatures continued from the Mississippi River east­ward to the Atlantic coastal states.

Early morning temperatures from northern Illinois southwest-ward to Oklahoma and northern Texas were in the low 80s after hitting in the 90s yesterday. Chi-cagoans were wilted after nine straight days of 90-plus heat, with yesterday's high of 99 a record for July 8, and one of the nation's top marks^ A high of around 92 was expected today.

Some relief from the sizzling heat was reported in the Dakotas and Minnesota with early morn­ing temperatures 5 to 15 degrees lower than yesterday morning. The weak cool front is expected to ex­tend over the northwest half of the Midwest today and spread over most of the region Sunday.

Widely scattered showers and thunderstorms occurred in the Pa­cific Northwest, Central Plains, Ohio Valley and Middle Atlanuc States. Heaviest falls were at R i c h m o n d , Va., which was drenched with nearly 3 inches of rain in six hours. Other heavy amounts were nearly 2 inches at Akron, Colo., and 1.62 inches at Omaha in six hours.

However, Wilson assurtd Russell the Penta­gon plans to use the least possible 'enforcement measure."

Armed Services Committee pub­lic hearings on the program to build a combat- ready reserve force of 2,900,000 by 1960 were in recess until Monday. Defense offi­cials were scheduled to testify at that time.

British Balk Reds' Turncoat' Trick Hong Kong Entry Plans Limit Propaganda Value HONG KONG (,P)^-Hong Kong authorities today

accused Chinese Communist officials of attempting to pull a last one in demanding transit permits for three turncoat Americans who want to leave Red China.

had* - — ' Announcing such permits not and would not be issued, a government spokesman said the unexpected demand "undoubtedly was a propaganda move" aimed at pressuring U.S. and British author­ities into allowing the men to enter Hong Kong legally.

A government statement issued shortly afterward said the British charge d'affaires in Peiping had been authorized to inform the Chi­nese Red Cross Society that the men would be admitted to Hong Kong.

This was interpreted as mean­ing they would be allowed to enter as undocumented aliens, the status of most European refugees re­turning from Red China. There was no indication whether this would satisfy Peiping authorities.

The announcement said the for­mal authorization for their entry had not previously been given "be­cause of the necessity for consulta­tions with authorities in London and Washington."

As undocumented aliens, they would be turned over immediately to American authorities here. Brit­ish sources said the Hong Kong government's position has been to make certain that the men would not be left on its hands through some dodge that would prevent them being handed over directly to U.S. officials.

The government spokesman earl­ier explained that the possession of transit permits would enable

The broadcast b l a m e d the change of plans on the failure of British authorities to supply the permits. The men reportedly are now in Canton, awaiting final ar­rangements for their departure from Red China. Peiping has ident­ified them as Lewis W. Griggs, Jacksonville, Tex.; O. G. Bell, Ofyanpia, Wash., and William A. Cowart, Dalton, Ga.

Peiping radio made no men­tion of a new departure date. But British police officials maintained a watch at the Shumchun River frontier, 32 miles north of Hong Kong, in case the men should ar­rive there without futHier notice. Border officials said they were not on this afternoon's train from Can­ton.

U.S. Swallows 3 Aides' Ouster To Soothe Reds for Geneva Parley

WASHINGTON (m—The' United States has quietly settled its latest diplomatic dispute with Russia over three American Army offi­cers expelled from the Soviet Union.

The State Department, appar­ently to keep the incident from disturbing prospects for the Big Four summit conference, has ac­cepted Russia's right to order the three embassy aides out of the country.

Three replacements for the men, all assistant Army attaches, will be named, however, with the ex­pectation Russia will agree to ac­credit them for the American Em­bassy in Moscow.

The name of one of the men has already gone forward for ap­proval, it was learned, but infor­mants did not disclose his name.

The whole incident and its after­math have been handled without publicity, obviously in an effort to keep the affair from mushroom­ing into a major disagreement at this time. The State Department confirmed the incident only after details had become known.

Informed officials disclosed last June 17 that Russia had banned the trio, declaring them "persona

non grata," or persons unaccept­able to the Soviet Union. The three were Lt. Col. John S. Vinson of Milton, Mass.; Capt. William R. Stroud of Kewanee, 111.; and Capt. Walter Mule of F t Mon­mouth, N. J .

Expulsion of the Americans was for allegedly improper acti­vities, not publicly specified.

The three have already returned to the United States for reassign­ment to new posts.

As far as could be learned from officials who were reluctant to talk about the matter,- the United States has no plans for retaliating against the Soviet Undon by order­ing several Soviet Embassy aides to leave the country.

Russia and the United States in the past adopted a tit for tat policy whenever such incidents came up. Nearly a year ago Russia ousted an American lieutenant colonel and a major attached to the American Embassy, accusing them of im­proper activity including espi­onage. The State Department promptly denied the charges. It said Russia's move was dictated by a desire to retaliate because the United States had kicked out three Soviet diplomats earlier in the year on similar grounds.

WASHINGTON <£>-Sen. H. Alex-! ander Smith (R-NJ) said today he will fight to restore in the Senate a House committee's 50 per cent cut in a special Asian aid fund asked by President Ei­senhower.

The House Appropriations Com­mittee, cutting 20 per cent from the President's foreign aid re­quests, sliced in half the 200 mil­lion dollars asked for the Asian economic development fund. The committee said that not more than 100 million dollars would be used anyhow the first year.

But Smith said in »an interview it was "most important" that President Eisenhower go the July 18 Geneva conference "leading from strength."

The full 200 million dollar fund, he said, would be a major indica­tion the United States is unselfish­ly and seriously intent on building up the economies of the under­

developed nations of Asia. Smith, a senior member of the

Senate Foreign Relations Commit­tee, also criticized what he called a "dangerous" reduction of 420 million dollars in the President's $1,125,000".000 request for direct military aid to U.S. cold war al­lies. The House has yet to act on the committee recommendations, but indications were the $2,638.-741,750 money bill to finance an­other year of global aid would go through substantially unchanged from the committee's own version. The House is to take the bill up Monday.

Sen. Mansfield (D-Mont), also a Foreign Relations committee­man, said in a separate interview his only disagreement with the House committee's big reduction in the military hardware item was a "feeling" the economy knife had not struck deep enough.

Judge Would Change Handling of Delinquents

System of Adolescent Courts Is Suggested

SYRACUSE C*>-New York city's chief magistrate yesterday urged reorganization of magistrate courts in the city to create adolescent courts to replace youth terms in Manhattan and the Bronx.

Judge John Murtagh spoke at the Institute on Juvenile Delin­quency and Youth Crime. Similar institutes are scheduled for Buf­falo next week and New York City starting July 18. The Syra­cuse institue, which started Tues­day, ends today.

Murtagh suggested that the over­haul of magistrate courts in the city be started in September.

He also called for the exten­sion of the jurisdiction of the adolescents between the ages of 16 and 21. He urged a more wide­spread application of the Way ward Minor Act in the Adolescent courts in the cases of Delinquents who have not yet been charged with the commission of a crime.

Murtagh said that adolescent courts, as reorganized, would have jurisdiction to;

One: entertain wayward minor proceedings in the case of anv male adolescent under the age of

Two: arraign every adolescent under the age of 21 arrested in (the respective county, whatever the crime charged.

Three: substitute a wayward charge, when permitted by law, for a criminal charge upon con­sent of the district attorney. thereby keeping the treatment of the adolescent within the magis­trate court and avoiding the nec­essity of processing him through the grand jury or the court of special sessions.

Judge Murtagh said "Weakness of famiily life" was "abe key to the tragic phenomenon ot juven­ile delinquency." He said the "basic answer to juvenile delin­quency lies in a happy family life and adequate religious instruct-tion of our youth."

More than 100 police officers, judges and probation officers at­tended the Syracuse Institue. r
