Kosaku Shinoda, public, rela- tions spokesman for Kjshi?╟╓s rul- ing Liberal Democratic Party, told newsmen the administration would recess; Parliament for a ?╟ political truce, so that President Eisenhower?╟╓s visit can be made a succtess.** More than 1,000 police tried to hold the mob at bay. ?╟úIt was tantamount to an insur- rection,?╟╓?╟╓ said Shojiro Kawashir ma, secretary general of the rul- ing Liberal-Democrats. In contrast with previous dem- onstrations, however, there was little initial expression of opposi- tion .to President Eisenhower?╟╓s visit. The demonstrators carried only a handful of signs demand- ing cancellation of the visit he is to start Sunday.

Arnoff; sought $240,369 as a bal- ance of bis investment made more than two years ago when the two went* into partnership at El Rancho. The partnership lasted only from Jan 1, 1958 until March 31 of the same year. Arnoff first sued for $315,000 and a security writ of attachment which closed up El Rancho ca- sino. In negotiations between the pair, Katleman paid *$100,000 and ragi"eed to make future payments jin three $25,000 monthly sums and the balance at $50,000 per month Later Katleman halted the payment and filed suit against Arnoff for $100,000 contending that he had been coerced by Arn- off. Judge Marshal said, in his opinion, that there was no founda- tion for Katleman?╟╓s claim f o r damages fr.om Arnoff. ?╟úIt is the judgment of this court that there was no duress, that the defendants have wholly and total- ly. failed to prove that such was the case,?╟Ñ Marshall said. Atty. David Goldwater, repre- sented Arnoff, while Madison Graves, associated with Richard Blakely of Reno and Leo Gold of Beverly Hills represented the hotel and Katleman. Councilmen Germain Houle apd Jack Strahan. Bishop?╟╓s attorney, George Dicker son, also attended the meeting. Dickerson said his client could offer a plan at a reduced rate, beginning with $200 per month for the first fear, progressing each year for three years or until the fee reached $350-400 per month for the third year. Bishop said, he would give this city $3,200 worth of ipan-power and equipment if the city consent- ed to his service on a contract basis. The committee was appointed to study- the matter as a result of Bishop?╟╓s charges earlier that he would discontinue his services un- less the city of North Las Ve- gas ?╟úcame up with something sub- stantial.?╟Ñ Bishop claims he cannot oper- ate the ambulance service here and stay ?╟úin the black?╟Ñ unless he receives subsidy. He said he has three rigs costing $12,000 apiece. The committee will submit their findings to the council for rec- ommendation aftei* getting an opinion from the fire and police departments. City Manager Robert Nelson said it is expected to get strong rebuttals from council members. ?╟úWe just don?╟╓t have enough mon- ey in the budget to pay for such a service at, this time,?╟Ñ Nelson said.
