Pag 10 THE PALM BEACH POST. Tuesday. April 8. 1958 U. S.

Reported To Introduce New Arms Plan LONDON, April disarmament negotiator Harold E. Deaths And Funerals JOHN EDWARD GOODSON. Mr. Goodson, 64, of Layton's Park, Riviera Beach, died Monday at a local hospital following a short illness. He was a retired office worker for Griggs, Cooper and Wholesale Groceries, St.

Paul, wher he worked for 42 years, and was a member of the Final Exhibit Launched At Worth Gallery Closing exhibition at the Worth Ave. Gallery in Palm Beach will include works by a number of continental and Manhattan Artists, combined with those of a group of Palm Beach painters whose names fey wiM fr Staff Photo by Bob Rabe REPORT ON TRIP Members of the City Commission were told Palm Beach High School Choir to New Orleans and points between.

Eisen hower reached his decision last Wednesday during a two-hour con ference with Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and other top advisers on the Middle East situation. They said the President's deci sion did not rule out the possibili ty that this country may grant Israel request later. It was emphasized, however, the Israeli request will be kept under continuing review in light of future developments In the Middle East and this country's efforts within the United Nations to achieve a stable peace. Weapons From Allies But they said Israel will have to look to Britain. France and other allied nations for the foreseeable future for jet fighters and other defensive arms.

Israel asked to buy cut-rate arms from the United States last Nov. 16 after it was announced Communist Czechoslovakia would ship modern arms to Egypt, in cluding tanks and jet bombers. The United Press was told that France "in a matter of days" will deliver 12 jet fighters to Israel. But these sources said information about the sale may be withheld for security reasons until the planes are definitely in the hands of the Israelis. The White House decision indi cated that the administration has no objections to munitions sales to Israel by Britain or France.

But there was no assurance the administration will encourage its allies to make such sales. Support In Congress The Israeli plea for U. S. arms has received considerable support in Congress. Only yesterday.

Rep. Kenneth B. Keating (R-N Y) said a group of 50 House Republicans are considering adding funds for Israel to the administration for eign aid bill. But Dulles and other State De partment experts have long contended that arms to Israel would not be a long-range solution to the problems of the Middle East. Some western diplomats dis agree, however.

They believe the sale of defensive arms to Israel at this time may actually ease these tensions. They said, for example, the de livery of the French jets will help restore the balance of air power between Israel and Egypt and di minish demands within Israel for a quick "preventive war" against Labor Troubles Facing Circus NEW YORK, April I (UP) Ringling Bros. Circus had labor trouble on its hands today that may force cancellation of the opening of "the greatest show on earth. The Britherhood of Teamsters threw a picket line this morning around Madison Square Garden, where the circus is scheduled to open Wednesday evening, in an attempt to force the organization of Ringling's roustabouts. The pickets prevented the delivery of the tanbark floor without which the show can't go on.

The possibility that there will be no performers to give the show anyway became a possibility as circus Impresario John Ringling North negotiated unsuccessfully for a new contract with the Amer-I ican Guild of Variety Artists North met again this afternoon with a fact finding committee in a last minute attempt to work out a settlement. KVHitimiM from Face One) Violent exact duplicate of one last week when dust storms raked five west- em and southwestern states and buried Minnesota under a bliz zard. Meanwhile hot and humid air knifed from the Gulf of Mexico all the way to the Mississippi and Ohio valleys. At Chicago the mercury climbed to 79 degrees, an all- time high for the date. In the northern and central plains, cold air from Canada moved in.

There were tornado alerts In both Oklahoma and Missouri, but no dust in Oklahoma. Pioneer resi dents in the midland-Odessa sector of west Texas said the dust storm was the worst they could remember in 50 years or more. Street lights were turned on. Mo torists switched on their head lights, but even so had to stop their automobiles when the wind was at its height. The lights of the automobiles at such times would not penetrate the dust.

Cap. Pat Spier, in command of the Highway Patrol at El Paso, said visibility ranged from zero to 100 feet in the El Paso area, and driving was extremely hazardous. Visibility got down to 50 feet or less at Pecos, 50 miles south of the New Mexico border. Just before the dust storm hit El Paso, the city had a brief rain and snowstorm. The temperature at the time was 37 degrees.

The dust came in ahead of cold front with chilling tempera tures. At Salt Flat, west of tower ing Guadalupe Peak, the temper ature dropped 14 degrees in 20 minutes. Weather forecasters said the temperature may get as low as 28 degrees before dawn In the Pan handle, upper south plains and El Paso areas of Texas. Collins Makes Appeal To Cut Trash Burning TALLAHASSEE, April 2 Gov. LeRoy Collins today called on Floridians to refrain from burning trash or undergrowth near wooded areas until the present dry season is over.

He said low humidity, strong winds and lack of rainfall are con tributing to the fire danger but it still people who cause the fires. "I urgently request that every one refrain from all brush or trash burning In or near the woods in the dry areas until conditions im- Arms Request Pigeon-Holed WASHINGTON.

Nevertheless, Kefauver urged a big vote of protest. In a telegram to state Democratic Chairman Phillip Nash today, Kefauver bore down heavily on the farm issue. Kefauver is unopposed on the Democratic ballot for president while Eisenhower has the token opposition of John Chappie, Ashland, editor who was seeking delegates for a "pro American, pro-Christian anti Soviet" candidate as yet unchosen by him. Voters will chose between the three slates of convention dele gates, with no write-in votes allowed. Party leaders differed in their estimate of how many votes Kefauver would have to poll in nom inally Republican Wisconsin to make a showing against President Eisenhower in the popularity race.

In the 1954 primary 776,009 GOP votes were cast and 241,000 Demo cratic. (Oontlimed from Pate One) Letter Cites first reading, one of which would close city -registration books 30 days before any municipal elec tion to conform to the law relating to county and state elections. The city has heretofore permitted registration up to 10 days prior to an election. The other ordinance would in crease from 9,000 to 15,000 gallons the amount of gasoline storage per mitted at one location.

Stassen conferred with the Soviet delegate shortly after, he flew back from a week-end conference at Gen.

Alfred M. Gruenther's NATO headquarters in France. Stassen had lunch with Gromyko at the Soviet embassy and said afterward they had a "free exchange of views." Informed sources said Stassen would introduce new U.S. disarmament proposals at this week's sessions of the arms conference which resumes here tomorrow. Five-Nation Meeting Stassen and Gromyko are their nations' chief delegates to the United Nations disarmament negotiations among representatives of the United States, Russia, France, Britain and Canada.

It was believed Stassen checked with SHAPE headquarters on mil itary aspects of the new Soviet arms cut plan as well as his own American blueorints. The United States, while heavily qualifying any optimism, has been more receptive to the Soviet, proposal than either Britain or France. Stassen's trip to Paris recalled his conference with Gruenther last July just before President Eisen hower proposed his open skies" aerial inspection plan at Geneva. Soviet Arms Plan Stassen is expected to cross-ex amine Gromyko closely in this week's sessions on the new So viet arms plan publicized Satur day. Stassen is reported to reject the Soviet call for a ban on H-bomb tests before a general disarma ment agreement is reached.

He rules out Russia's call for a cen tral European zone of arms lim itations unless it is accompanied by German reunification. The U.S. delegate also would not accept the Soviet plan of ground checkpoints unless Gromyko ac cepts the American open skies proposal without qualification. Britain and France appear dis mayed that Russia "stepped back ward" by switching emphasis from nuclear disarmament to con ventional disarmament. Mackey Lines Recommended For Cuban Route WASHINGTON, April 2 (1 A Civil Aeronautics Board examiner recommended today that Mackey Airlines be granted a route to Cuba and new services to the British West Indies.

Mackey's route between Tampa and St.

Petersburg, and Nassau, by way of West Palm Beach Palm Beach and Ft. Lauderdale, be renewed for three years. 2. Mackey be authorized to serve the Biminis, Great Abaco Island and Eleuthera Island in the Bahamas as new intermedi ate points between Ft. Lauder dale and Nassau.

3. Mackey be granted a new route between West Palm Beach-Palm Beach and Ft. Lauderdale and Nassau by way of Havana, Cuba. Henderson also recommended denial of Mackey's application for authority to carry mail. Mackey has authority only to operate passenger and cargo services.

Opening Monday, this very at tractive and artistically worthwhile show will be open to the public for the next two weeks. This will conclude the 13th season here for the gallery, for which Mrs. Dug-gett Benson and Mrs.

Archibald C. Rayner are co-directors. A newcomer to the gallery ranks. Harold Sterner, of New York, proves one of the most engaging art personalities to be presented there. Indication of his versatility is found in the discovery that "The Harbour is merely an exception ally well-painted and attractive oil marine, while his six other paint ings represent a delightful blend of surrealist technique with madcap romantic subject matter.

A kind of kinship of feeling may be found with bis works and the one enchanting tiny oil, "By the Sea, by the well-known Jean Watts, though Miss Watts veers towards the modem primitive rather than surrealism. The only two other artists with large groups are the Frenchman. Andre Tellier, and the America Roger Baker. Both paint beautifully, Tellier with a heavier brush and charming realism; Baker with deli cacy and delightful imaginative quality, notably in "Harlequin with a Yellow Bird." Known from previous shows are the individually distinctive works of a trio of Italian Artists, painting in Paris: Stanislaw Lepri, Rafael Leonardo Cremoni and Leonora Fini. Jack Hawkins, to whom special credit is due for his artistry in blending the varied paintings into a distinctively stylish and elegant whole, has two new oil paintings, Sculpture for the Plains, and "Stalactities, Stalagmites and Sculpture," which reflect his rare ability in transforming geometric forms into designs of fluid beauty of line and color.

Paintings by the local artists are in the main retrospective in nature. representative of their outstanding work his winter. They include Theda Tilton, Hopkins Hensel, Em-ilie Johnson, Allison Dodds Foster and Ouida, with small bronzes by Ann Norton and Oliver O'Connor Barrett. Sensitivity, Clarity Mark Arts Quartet Fleetness, clarity, sensitiviJy and a fine quality of reserve Pt among the musical attributes for which the Fine Arts Quartet of Chicago will be remembered by a small but almost reverently appreciative audience who heard its members play last night in Pioneer Hall of the Norton Gallery of Art, where the 1956 annual Ralph H. Norton concert took place.

And those who recall the gentle and dignified manner of the founder of the Norton Gallery must have been well pleased with the splendid fusion of individual styles achieved In the playing of four quartets by the ensemble, including, Leonard Sorkin, Abram Loft, violin; Irving Ilmer, viola; and George Sopkin, cello. Designated especially as a memorial to the Chicagoan whose love of art and music caused him tn erect the Norton Gallery in 1941 as a center of culture in this city, where he made his winter home on Barcelona now occupied by his widow, the former Miss Ann Weaver, well known as a noted sculptor, was the Andante from the "Quartet in flat," by Dittersdorf, music highly sensitive, tranquil and reserved. The concert was opened with the music of Haydn, more prolific contemporary by Dittersdorf, in playing of the four movements of "Quartet in D. Op. 64 No.

5. in which many moods are expressed. the music calling for the most steady control of fingers, and the Fine Arts Quartet measuring up every inch of the way to the challenge. Familiar passages from less erudite music by Grieg wer heard in his "Quartet in miom Op. 27, which was programmed as the second offering by the artists, who brought all the Nordic freshness of the music to the ears of their listeners, with the cello singing forth in rich organlike tones.

The music of Mendelssohn brought the concert to a close with "Quartet in flat, No. 1, Op 12, in which the ensemble, perhaps more than in any of the other compositions played, unified their efforts to project the interweaving passages with splendid aplomb. One encore was offered, as a coda it might be said, to an inspiring evening of great music played by artists of the highest caliber, and that was the scherzo movement from the "Fourth Quintet" by Shostokovitch, recently introduced in this country. The sprightly and discordant passages spanned the centuries, and made clear the fact that string quartets, and especially the Fine Arts, are as progressive and as eager to play all the best in music as any other artists in the musical realm. The concert was arranged for by the music committee of the Palm Beach Art League with Mrs.

Albert C. Fordham as L. K. Car Stolen Again Herbert Crouse, of 328 Dyer reported to city police Monday night that his dark green 1948 Dodge Sedan was stolen the night of March 29. Crouse said he did not the theft because he thought the car would be returned.

Monday about the trip of the Collins Ignores Telegrams Sent By Primary Foes By The Associated Press Gov.

LeRoy Collins referred to gubernatorial candidate Peaslee Streets yesterday as a friend of Fuller Warren in a statement In which he said he would refuse to reply to telegrams he received from either opponent. Collins announced his statement of policy after receiving a telegram from Warren repeating his challenge to the governor and Sen. R. B. Gautier, of Miami to debate their political records.

Warren proposed that the debate be held in Miami April 7. He again referred to the challenge in a speech yesterday at Orlando. I have had a policy of not re plying to the telegrams I have received from Peaslee Streets," Collins said. 'This same policy applies to his friend (Warren). Generally candi dates do not become so frantic and irresponsible until the last days of a campaign.

I repeat that I will not engage in a public hassle with him." Warren, In telegrams to Collins and Gautier, said if they refused his debate challenge "it may be my duty, to hold a discussion in your absence to give the people all the facts, many of which have been heretofore hidden and concealed."

The purpose of the $5,000 Donated By Red Cross In Pahokee Fire A tentative amount of $5,000 was set aside for the 75 Negro families of Pahokee who were left homeless by a fire Saturday night, and the American Red Cross Cam paign drive was extended to April 15 by the Palm Beach County Red Cross Chapter executive committee at a special meeting Monday afternoon, E. F. Reddy, chairman of the chapter, reported last night.

'The tentative amount set aside by the executive committee Monday," Reddy explained, "may meet the needs of the homeless families, but we will add to it if the amount does not cover the re lief operations." According to E. L. T. Smith, one of three Red Cross emergency relief workers from the area who is aiding in the relief operations, about 27 families have been pro cessed, but about twice that many have yet to be processed. Smith said it is costing approximately $100 for each family to supply them with necessary clothing.

According to reports, the families were only able to-save the clothing they had on their backs. A report was given to the execu tive committee that approximately $92,000 has been raised in the Red Cross campaign, which had a goal of $110,635. The campaign, which ran through the month of March, has been extended to enable the Red Cross to reach its goal and take care of the Pahokee relief, Reddy stated. The first general disaster organi zation planning meeting on a coun ty wide basis was tentatively set up 'for May 15 by the executive committee. The meeting is held each year to make plans for the hurricane season, Reddy reported.

Reddy stated anyone desiring to contribute to the relief of Pa- hokee's fire victims should speci fy on their checks American Red Cross Emergency Relief Fund," and the funds will be used exclusively for fire victims.

newsmen witness an explosion scheduled for about May 1 at the Eniwetok prov ing ground. Some regional and state civil defense leaders also will observe test. Officials believe that permitting eye-witness reports will help pre vent misunderstandings about the tests. They feel the reports will offset Communist propaganda and reassure some Free World nations that have misgivings about the ex plosions. Newsmen were barred from the big 1954 H-bomb test, in the Paci fic a policy that resulted in all sorts of rumors and reports about the blast.

Only last month the State De partment rejected a Japanese plea to call off the tests. The depart- men said this government is con vinced the tests are "vital to its own defense and the Free World." The Japanese request was prompted by results of the 1954 test in which more than a score of Japanese fishermen were sprayed with radioactive fall-out. One of the fishermen later died, although the causes of death were disputed. The Atomic Energy Commission has warned that an area of about 421,250 square miles from the Mar shall Islands proving ground will be a "danger area. April 20." It said most of the area should be clear by the end of August.

In today joint announcement the Defense Department and the commission said news coverage of the explosion will give newsmen a chance to report on events as sociated with the test and to see first-hand safety measures taken in the public interest. The government decided to let each of the three U. S. wire serv ices send one representative to the tests. Other newsmen will repre sent their media on a pooled basis.
