Johnston plans to resign October 24. An aide to Johnston disclosed that he will return to his post as president Of the Motion Picture Association of America at the end Of October. The aide said that Johnston took the job last January 24 with the understanding that it would be only for nine months.

EDT., aboard his DC-6 Independ­ence and was scheduled to arrive in San Francisco 10 hours later. His pilot, Colonel Francis T. Williams, planned a non-stop trip. Truman, wearing a tan suit and a light western-style hat, was in a jovial mood when he arrived at the Washington airport to board the, plane. He engaged in his usual banter with, reporters, hut put everything he said “off-the-record.” Aboard the plane, the president worked on the final draft o f the speech he w ill make to the con­ference tomorrow evening. It is expected'to reiterate force fully his previous statements that Russia will not be allowed to ob­struct the Japanese trdSty. Secretary of State Dean Ache^ son said today in the first Voice of America broadcast to Japan that the free world is confident that Japanese will make a “genu­ine contribution to peace.” The voice began beaming pro­grams to Japan on the eve of the San Francisco conference on the Japanese peace treaty. “This readiness on the part of the free world to make peace with japan is the true test of its friendship for Japan,” Acheson said. — It also shows the Allies’ confi­dence, he said, “in the future of Japan and the desire and ability of the Japanese people to make a genuine contribution to peace, se­curity, and progress.” H I m K ? m W ' i ; |V i s i mm® H i m i m M i rSl*. 4 ____ |h o were nabbed by city police for discharg gathered at the police station this morning.. 1 and his dog, “Crackerjack”; W.

Short of Cash SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 3— (UP)— Japanese delegates to the peace conference are ad­mittedly short of cash and full of professed humility. Members of the delegation have only $155 apiece in spend* ing money hut feel this may be enough since most of them don’t speak English a n d haven’t enough interpreters to staff a first-class shopping tour. Nobody in the delegation would say what Japanese Pre­mier Shigeru Yoshida, the chief delegate, had in the way of an expense account. But Yosh­ida was not ihterested in eith­er cash or shopping. Asked by this correspondent how he was faring in-San Fran, cisco, the 73-year-old Japan­ese diplomat only smiled. U.S. Ambassador William J. Sebald from Tokyo answered for him : “He’s very, very busy.” Japanese delegates said they were all delighted with the re­ception given them here. The Japanese insisted they still felt great humility, a n d came to the conference with full recognition that they rep­resented the defeated nation. “We come to the conference as representatives of a defeat­ed country,” one of the most influential members of the del-egation said. “We do not wish to debate how the rights and wlongs of a war fought many years, ago, but we fully rec­ognize that we were beaten.” Commies Step Up Offense In East Korea EIGHTH ARMY HEADQUAR­TERS, Korea, Tuesday, Sept. 4 (UP)—The communists hurled an estimated i 6,000 men against United Nations lines in east cen­tral Korea Monday as General James A. Van Fleet warned that the Reds could put 850,000 men and 1,000 planes into a new of­fensive within two weeks. Enemy troops were supported by heavy concentration of artil­lery and mortar fire as they staged one of their heaviest drives in recent days in the area north and northwest" of Yanggu. f UN troops, however, held their positions and in some places made small advances. Allied artillery on the east central front was said to have inflicted 886 communist casualties. A l l i e d warplanes roared through heavy fog to continue a round-the-clock air offensive against enemy supply columns. More than 9,000 enemy vehicles have been spotted behind the lines in the last three days. Bombers and night fighters de­stroyed or damaged 500 out . of 1800 vehicles attacked up to da' Monday. ? ? ? ? !'

Wafer District Directors Study Two Alternatives A two-way approach to the water problem presented the Las Vegas valley as a result of Colonel Jess Larson’s rather blunt declaration Saturday that there might be no excess water In the Basic pipeline beyond plant needs, was being discussed informally by members of the board of directors who were frankly taken completely by sur­prise by the latest development. There was no indication of Lar­son’s thinking until he read his prepared statement at the Hen­derson session,? and district di­rectors were' still trying to evaluate the situation today. There still was the possibility that an engineering study plus a definite determination of the needs of Basic lessees might re­veal a sufficient potential surplus to carry on with the original plan which calls for purchase of a maximum of 10,000,000 gallons daily from the owners of the pipe-line. This information was expected to be ready within 60 days or less, Larson said. The second approach was the ultimate goal of the water dis­trict— construction of its own pipe-l,ine and pumping facilities at an estimated c o st of $12,- 000,000. This Ts charted in the. present program for I960, With the Basic pipeline surplus con­sidered somewhat in the light of a stop-gap arrangement. The water district directors met Saturday afternoon to di­gest the Larson brochure, but decided to issue, n o . statement until more thought could be giv­en to the matter, and a few more answers obtained. Indica­tions were the directors would m eet late this afternoon or to­morrow with a view to formulat­ing official comment on the Lar­son declaration. Tom Campbell, chairman of the water board, admittedly rather disappointed and unhappy over the sudden turn of events, never­theless indicated he felt there is a solution to the problem which will fit the capacity of the area to finance. Making it plain he was not speaking as an official of the (Continued on Page 2) Expect Truce Talks to Resume TOKYO, Sept- 8 (UP) — Vice Admiral C. Turner Joy, chief UN delegate to the Korean ceasefire talks, flew in to Tokyo tonight for conferences with UN Supreme Commander Matthew B. Ridgway as high officials in­dicated their confidence that ne-gotitations will resume. A new charge was , made to­day by the Chinese, communists that U. S. warplanes had again bombed Manchuria while war­ships created “imperialist dis­turbances” off the Chinese coast. Ridgeway had not replied to­day to the last m essage from communist leaders demanding either a cessation, of alleged UN violations of Kaesong’s neutral­ity or a formal UN declaration breaking off the talks. But he named a Korean officer as an alternate- to the UN ceasefire team, a move indicating his ex­pectation that the talks will re­sume. Joy was accompanied on his trip to Tokyo by Rear Admiral Arleigh Burke and Air F o r c e Major General Laurence C. Craigie, other members of the UN delegation, and several staff members. A spokesman refused to cgjRi-ment on Joy’s visit. atomic Warhead Weapon Program Rushed WASHINGTON, Sept. 3 — (UP)— A billion dollar build­ing program of guided missiles, some of which will carry atomic warheads, is being rushed by the.United States. Representative Geo. H. Ma­hon, Democrat, Texas, chair­man of the house appropriations subcommittee on defense funds, disclosed for the first time a round figure for the money to he spent on the program be­tween now and. next June 30. ?401/f, are 5°>nS forward on this thing,” Mahon said, “and some of these guided missiles will carry the atomic warhead, I think it is fair to say. We are moving toward the use of atom- 16artillery.” -However, in an interview over the Texas Quality network yesterday, he added that “we are not quite ready to do some of these things.” Some guided missiles are ex­pected to be put into actual pro­duction before next summer. It is understood that the atomic energy commission tested some forms of atomic warheads at its recent Nevada tests. More tests are coming up. Mahon said the ,U. S. joint chiefs of staff do not expect all-out War with the Soviet union before next January 1. t McCarran re-iterated t h e Statement he made In Washing­ton recently that was in­evitable in the near future, and that/ as i. result of defense oper­ations, the Basic plant would be one of the key establishments ' in the production of goods for peace time as well as war, " The senator said, in an, inter- . view Saturday, that there w as every possibility that the air force would be expanded to 160 groups in the next few months and, if the 160 group program was not reached, certainly it - would be expanded to “ at least 100 groups.” In this expansion, the Senator said, the Basic plant will play a significant part, because there are two lessees at the plant who are producing material for the | air force and, if expansion Is ac­complished, the contracts of the two companies will be increased in the same ratio. “Within the foreseeable future, the Basi6 Magnesium plant rajBp be the biggest operation- of its | type in the country,” the. sen- ; ator predicted. “The expansion of |g the plant will be limited, only by the availability of water a ^ d ' power,” he declared. The senator disclosed that two new companies are eyeing-the Basic facilities for the establish­ment of branches here,' one of ? them being one of the larger firms doing ? business In the United States today. I “Whei these companies come into the area, they will nail the project down as a permanent establishment, and will mean much t. the economy of this ?: section,” McCarran said. He pointed out that the pro­posed expansion would not fall into the “ war baby” category, but would be geared to peace time activities with the possibil­ity of expanding even further if war breaks. _ ", Both or' {fia" hew companies which are planning establish­ment of plants here are plan­ning peace time production and are not coming in with war con­tracts which would end with the cessation of any hostilities which might break. Asked if he could estimate what the employment figure at Henderson might be in the im­mediate future,'the senator de­clared he would 'not hazard a guess, but did say that it would be a “good figure” if the popu­lation of Henderson was set at “somewhere around 10,000 with­in the next five years.” Eight Hundred / Ely Miners Return to Jobs ELY, Sept- 3 (Special)—Eight hundred miners and smelter men, who have been out on strike jn the sprawling Kennecott hold­ings in the Ely area, will trek back to their, jobs tomorrow morning as the week-old strike will be ended. Kennecott signed a new con-v tract with their employes over the week end, and the Ely work­men were affected by the 15 cent an hour raise which Was given by’ the contract; The big labor Day celebration, which was scheduled for today, took on a new meaning, and a spirit of exuberance w as noted ) as the labor unions ifl this area turned out to provide a big cele­bration for the youngsters of the Ely-Ruth-McGill section of White Pine county.

VY ., oSe__p_ xt . «3 j , . . ______ x . ^ > (UP)—Panic was believed to­day to have been the prime cause of the capsizing of the fishing boat Pelican which drowned 37 persons. , Eyewitness accounts by the 19 survivors of the Saturday disaster said that the Pelican listed at a 60-degree angle to starboard when it w a s swamped by a wave. Passeng­ers fled to the port side and the additional’burden caused the boat to back flip when a second wave struck it. Both county authorities and the US coast guard are con­ducting investigations into the tragedy. Owners of more than 200 boats at this port on the tip of Long Island cancelled ail Labor day cruises today at a loss of about $30,000 in respect to the memory of Edward Car-roll, captain.^ of the ill-fated craft which had put out to sea with 56 aboard. The body of Carroll was among the, 18 still missing which presumably had drifted opt into the Atlantic ocean. A search fol the missing was resumed at dawn. Diver Thomas Innes of the state police recovered nine ;bodies from the boat’s cabin yesterday. “They were bunched together like wrestlers fighting with one another,’? Innes said. “One of them was trying to tear apart a seat cushion with his bare hands. Another was jammed in the doorway with others claw­ing at him .” Evidence indicated there was a sufficient number of life pre­servers aboard the 59-foot craft but they were not used.
