GOP Takes Three Hawaiian Races;
Quinn Chosen 50th State's Governor
HONOLULU (M)-Hawaii's many races overwhelmingly chose a
one-armed Japanese-American war hero as Congressman; sent a
rags-to-riches Chinese-American to the United States Senate; and
gave underdog Republicans surprise victories Tuesday in the Islands'
first election as the nation's 50th state.
William F. Quinn, President Dwight D. Eisenhower's appointee
as territorial governor, was kept on as the state's first elected gov-
ernor.

.invitation
By Nixon
WASHINGTON (A") - President
Dwight D. Eisenhower said yester-
day Vice - President Richard M.
Nixon has every right to talk over
with Nikita Khrushchev the pos-
sibility of visiting this country, but
has no authority to invite him
here.
President Eisenhower said Nix-
on, now visiting Russia himself,
has every right to listen and con-
verse and discuss such a visit with
the Russian premier.
Thus the President appeared to
confirm at a news conference that
Nixon has talked with the Soviet
leader about coming to the United
States sometime.
No Encouragement
But it is President Eisenhower
who will determine when and
whether an invitation will be is-
sued.
The President did little to en-
courage a Khrushchev visit at this
time.
Yet he is known to feel that at
the proper time and under the
right conditions a personal meet-
ing between himself and the So-
viet Premier might be desirable.
Good Ideas
President Eisenhower regards
Khrushchev as shrewd but not
wise, as erratic but not reckless or
irresponsible.
And he thinks it would be a
splendid idea if Khrushchev and
other top Soviet officials could
come to this country sometime to
see what this nation has, how the
people live and how much the
United States has to fight for if
necessary.
The news conference yesterday
skipped around the world-to Rus-
sia, Hawaii, the Far East, Latin
America-and dealt as well with
domestic affairs.
Starts Conference
The President started the con-
ference by voicing gratification
that persons of Chinese, Japanese
and Hawaiian ancestry were vic-
tors in Tuesday's election in Ha-
waii.
With a grin he added that he
wasn't unhappy that the Republi-
cans picked off the governorship
and one of two United States Sen-
ate seats.
May Recess, 'Stop,.
Talks C ompletely
To Cease Whether or Not Solution
To Berlin Situation Found in Time
GENEVA (R) - West and East decided yesterday to halt
the Foreign Ministers' Conference by next Wednesday even
if they fail to find a way out of the Berlin crisis.
They may recess or they may break off the talks entirely.,
There was nobody in town willing to predict that there
would be agreement by next Wednesday. Even the normally
optimistic British were portrayed as depressed over the pros-
pects.
No New Hope
"There is no evidence to indicate there is new hope for
a Berlin settlement," Andrew H. Berding, Assistant United
States Secretary of State, told"
reporters. Maurice Couve de
Murville, the French Foreign Power Shift
Minister, told the French cab-

Porter (R-Blissfield), committee
chairman, said the bill was sent
to the floor at this time for pro-
cedural reasons.
The airport bill, also approved
by Porter's group, carried $1,153,-
000 in state funds to help finance
projects at 21 airports. Of the
total, $728,000 will come from fed-
eral grants.
Last year, the Legislature pro-
vided only $781,000 for airport
work, all of it from the state aero-
nautics fund fed by aviation fuel
tax receipts.
Detroit Outfit
To Construct
Research Unit
American Metal Products Co. of
Detroit announced recently that
it would build a $750,000 to $800,-
D000 research center on a 20 acre
site in Pittsfield Township, about
a quarter-mile south of Ann Arbor.
Construction of the center,
which will be partly dedicated to
the discovery and use of, nuclear
fuels and exotic metals, will begin
the first week in August.
Andrew M. Mras, president of
American Metal Products, said
yesterday:
"The great potential in missile
and nuclear power applications
for the high-temperature mater-
ials (exotic metals) developed by
our Engineering Science Division,
opened only 15 months ago in
Ann Arbor, has made it necessary
to undertake this expansion of
research and engineering facili-
ties."
The present research unit, lo-
cated at 1355 N. Main will con-
tinue operation as a supporting
unit after the new research cen-
ter is occupied.
.Harold A. Ohlgren, director of
the present center, will also head'
the staff of the new center. Fred-
erick C. Matthaei, Jr. is overall
supervisor of the Engineering Sci-
ence Division. He is also the com-
pany's vice-president in charge 'of
research and development.

Red Festival
Interrupted
VIENNA (P)- Anti-Communist
delegates gave the Communist
sponsors of the seventh World
Youth Festival more woes yester-
day.
The anti-Reds invaded discus-
siori seminars and forced Com-
munist speakers into debate with
embarrassing questions.
Frequently the anti-Red ques-
tioners drew loud applause from
the seminar audiences.
The campaign was part of an
announced aim of the anti-Com-
munists: "To get some real free-
dom of speech and debate into this
show."
The big news continued to be
the dissent within the Festival
ranks. This wasbmarked by a
sharpening row between United
States delegates and the Festival
management.
A Festival official refused to
recognize a new steering commit-
tee elected by the feuding Ameri-
can delegation.
SVERDLOVSK, Soviet Union
W) K- Hecklers loaded with un-
friendly questions and arguments
stalked Vice-President Richard M.
Nixon yesterday.
The Vice-President Ii toe-to-toe
exchanges told his hecklers to get
their government to step jamming
American broadcasts so they would
know the truth.
Another time he asked why
Soviet troops are in Poland, Hun-
gary and East Germany.
Helps Nixon
Dr. Milton S. Eisenhower,
brother of President Dwight D.
Eisenhower, and Vice-Admiral Hy-
man Rickover, the atomic sub-
marine expert, helped Nixon bat
down criticisms of American pol-
icy.
Herbert G. Klein, Nixon's press
aide, broadly hinted that the Vice-
President thinks the Soviet gov-
ernment has primed trusted
agents with hostile questions and
planted them among otherwise
friendly crowds.
"The Vice-President has noticed
there's a tremendous similarity in
questions as he's gone along," said
Klein.
"These people wait for him
either at entrances or exits where
they will be sure to be in his
path."
Hecklers Follow
The heckling began yesterday
morning at Novosibirsk, 900 miles
east of here, where the Vice-Presi-
dent's Soviet tour had brought
several examples of warm contact
with the Soviet people Tuesday.
Flying yesterday to this boom-
ing center in the Eastern Urals,
noted for its heavy industry and
armament mills, Nixon found a
big-but silent-crowd.
Just outside a steel mill Nixon
got into a discussion with the
plant superintendent, Nicolai
Stravtsev.
Nixon Debate
"You are jamming Western
radio broadcasts," Nixon told
Stravtsev. "You don't know the
truth."
"What you present is not ideas
but dirty slanders," Stravtsev de-
clared.
Nixon went on:
"You can stick to your own
ideas, but you ought to have the
right to choose what you hear and
read. Why must you let somebody'
else tell you what you must
hear?"
Patience Wears
"I am surprised that a bright
man like you should stick to such
an outmoded system," Stravtsev
retorted.
Nixon, whose patience had worn
thin after answering seemingly
planted questions as several
points, wound up the unexpected
debate by shaking hands with the
steel mill superintendent.
He went on to visit other parts
of the mill, crowded with Ameri-
can and West German machinery.

No Resistance
Berding said Gromyko did not
resist the idea that the conference
must be 'wound up in a week.
The two men agreed during a)
nearly four-hour private talk thatI
the Big Four would make every
effort during the next week to;
narrow 'the profound differences
still separating East and West.
The West insists on a signed
agreement guaranteeing its war-
won rights in West Berlin, 110
miles behind the Iron Curtain.
Make Offers
At the last minute, the Western
Big Three offered to limit their
West Berlin garrisons to 11,000
men and to join the Communists
in checking propaganda in both
East and West Berlin.
Gromyko has proposed an 18-
month truce during which East
and West Germany would negoti-
ate as equals on unification. After
that, the Big Four would take up
the problem for an unspecified
period if' the Germans could not
agree among themselves.
Compromise,
on Tax Plan
Seen by'Beadle
Senate Majority Leader Frank
D. Beadle,(R-St. Clair) yesterday
predicted the Legislature would
reach a compromise solution to the
state's tax crisis "by the end of
next week."
Interviewed following a panel
talk at a University of Michigan
Institute in Practical Partisan
Politics, Beadle admitted he was
"more optimistic" than his col-
leagues on prospects for an early
end to the record-breaking legis-
lative session.
He said hewas "hopeful" that
any use (sales) tax included in
a compromise plan would be found
constitutional by the Supreme
Court.
New Structure
Should the Court reject a use
tax increase on this ground, Beadle
said he was inclined to favor
"wiping the slate clean and start-
ing all over" to build a new tax
structure.
The Senate leader also indicated
a compromise solution to the.con-
tinuing deadlock over representa-
tion to a state constitutional con-
vention might be developed, with
some chosen on the basis of Senate
and others on the basis of House
apportionment.

The Twentieth Century is,not
going to be the "American Cen-
tury," because of a "catastrophic"
shift in world power to the Soviet
Union, New York Times corres-
pondent Harry Schwartz warned
yesterday.
However, Schwartz pointed out
"weaknesses as well as strengths"
in Russia's political' and econonic
programs which may help miti-
gate the threat.
He noted a "fantastic economic
recovery" in the Soviet Union
since World War II, particularly
in the steel, electric, and petro-
leum industries.
Will Grow Stronger
Barring an unforeseen reversal,
Schwartz said, the Soviets will
be economically stronger with
each year."
Coupled with the development
of satellites and missiles, Russia's
"tremendous economic growth"
gives Premier Nikita Khrushchev
good reason to taunt United
States Vice-President Richard M.
Nixon on his tour of the USSR.
He pointed out that the Vice-
President has given no denial to
Khrushchev's claims to Russian
military superiority.
But defeat, while possible, is by
no means inevitable, he stressed.
Have Sacrificed People
For their accumulation of
strength, the Communists have
sacrificed a "terrible" number of
people, he said. "Most people in
the Soviet Union are still living
poorly by any standards of the
modern technological age - and
the people know it."
"Can Khrushchev put so much
weight on heavy industry and
economic development and at the
same time give enough money to
keep his people q u i e s c e n t?"
Schwartz asked.
The Soviet leader "is going to
have to bend to the public will,"
Schwartz predicted. As the Soviet
public is allowed to see travel and
fashion exhibitions, they will be-
come increasingly restless, unless
given more benefits, he noted.
Youth 'Not Impressed'
The younger generation in Rus
sia is "not terribly impressed by-
how bad things were before the
Revolution," he said, but are
"more impressed by how bad
things are in 1959."
Another potential Soviet weak-
ness, Schwartz said, lies in the
possibility of a break or' conflict
with Red China.
He warned, however, that al-
though Americans can find "con-
soling possibilities, any nation
which depends on something to
happen in the opponent's back
yard is foolish."
House Spurns
NEW YORK (A) - The luxury
liner Queen Elizabeth, largest in
the world, collided with a fog-
bound freighter in New York har-
bor yesterday, but none of the
'What's Playing'
2,000 persons aboard the two ships
was hurt.
Some of those on the huge
passenger vessel said they hardly
felt the jar.
The freighter, the American
Hunter of the United States Lines,
stove a three-foot hole in the hull
of the 83,000-ton Elizabeth above
the water line.
Forced To Return
Officials said it could be quickly
repaired and expressed hope the
liner could again sail for South-
ampton before dawn.
With 1,959 passengers aboard,
the magnificent queen ofBritain's
merchant fleet was forced to re-
turn to her Hudson River pier
after the collision. She tied up
there about sunset..
Crews Work
Passengers crowded her stately
decks. Some said a blinding fog
bank had engulfed the ship", short-
ly before the collision. They said
the impact, however, was barely
noticeable.
As night came on, repair crews
went to work under glaring flood-
lights to repair the damage. Offi-
cials said it could be mended
within a few hours.
"It is hoped that the Queen
Elizabeth will sail in the early
hours of morning," said E. Sey-
