The Daily Missoulian LXXXV. No. 213. Missoula, Montana, Friday Morning, November 29, 1957 Price: Five Cents NATO Sets Meet as Scheduled PARIS (AP) NATO nations decided Thursday to go ahead with next month's summit meeting even if the ailing President Eisenhower cannot attend. A communique from NATO's Permanent Council said it "learned with regret Eisenhower will beaprevented from attending the NATO Council meeting in December." The White House, however, said Eisenhower's recovery from a slight stroke has been so rapid that he may yet go to Paris.

The NATO council seemed to take it for granted that Vice President Nixon will sit in for Eisenhower, saying: "It learned with satisfaction that Vice President Nixon would lead the American delegation." In Washington, Nixon said only that he would be ready to substitute for Eisenhower. He told a newsman Eisenhower will decide who makes up the U. S. delegations. Members of the council did not mask their concern that Eisenhow.

er, one of the principal builders of the alliance's military strength, might, not be present. But they were determined to go ahead with the plans for the greatest show of Western solidarity since NATO was formed. A spokesman said that "no plans at all will be changed." Make Quick Decision It took less than a quarter of. an hour for the permanent representatives to make the decision. Informal talks in the past 48 hours had left no doubt of their reaction.

Some. talks reserve might was lose some expressed of their propaganda effect if Eisenhower is absent. But these objections were not pressed when it came time for a vote. The absence of Eisenhower would rob the Dec. 16-18 sessions of some of their luster.

But problems facing the West in the Sputnik era of proved Russian seientific advances are urgent and NATO members are determined they must be tackled at once. The discussion of the heads of governments of the 15. NATO nations stemmed from the talks in Washington between Eisenhower and Prime Minister Macmillan of Britain. After these conversations, an informal call went out for the premiers to sit down together to work out means of sharing their manpower and technical resources to meet the Russian threat.

A doctor who examined the body shortly after 6 a.m. said it was possible that Skinner had been dead for "a couple of hours or more." He said the instrument used apparently pierced the lower part of the heart. Sheriff-Coroner Dave Middlemas said the wound was caused by a knife or some sharp instrument.

LIVINGSTON (P)-A mother and her four children apparently drowned about noon Thursday when their car plunged into deep Yellowstone River waters while they were en route to a Thanksgiving Day dinner. Sheriff Fred White Jr. identified those in the car as Mrs. Charles Woods, 26, and Betty, 6, 'Bruce, 4, and identical twins, James and John, 3. They resided at Big Timber.

It was first believed the husband and father, Charles Woods, 28, was also in the vehicle. However, Woods telephoned the Livingston sheriff's office about 9:30 p.m. Thursday and notified authorities he was not riding in the car which plunged into the river. Woods telephoned authorities from Luther. Deputy Sheriff Wally O'Hair said he was told Woods was looking for a job and did not make the trip from Big Timber to the L.

W. Swanson ranch south of Swanson ranch south of here for Thanksgiving dinner. The car apparently went out of control on an icy, section of U. S. Highway 10 on the eastern edge of Livingston and plunged into the river, White said.

White said the car and the bodies of one of the twins and Bruce were recovered. Sub freezing weather forced a searching party of 35. persons operating from shore and in boats to abandon efforts to recover the remaining bodies late Thursday night. The search will be resumed Friday morning, White said. Visibility in the Livingston area was reduced to near zero about the time of the accident by strong winds mixed with snow.

Mrs. Swanson, an aunt, said the 3-year-old boys were identical twins. There was no report of the accident until a woman passenger on a Northern Pacific passenger (Continued on Page 2, Column 4) Eisenhower Might Go To NATO Meeting; Attends Church Service WASHINGTON (PI President enhower, in an astounding display of recovery from his brain artery blockage of Monday, left the White House Thursday and went to church. Furthermore, the White House said, he and Mrs. Eisenhower hope to travel up to Gettysburg, Sunday to their farm home.

Eisenhower's doctors will decide later, it was said, whether he will fly over to Paris in a couple of weeks for the North Atlantic Pact meeting. Does all this mean the old President is back to normal, reporters asked in amazement. No More British Arms For Tunisia Without French Consultations LONDON (P) Prime Macmillan disclosed to Parliament Thursday a British pledge to send no Tunisia without consulting French. But arms, he did not rule out more arms for the former French protectorate. In his first review of the talks this week with Premier Felix Gaillard of France in Paris on the U.

arms shipments that angered France, Macmillan told the House of Commons: Observe Holiday With Feasts, Services Here Church services, big dinners, cloudy skies and two inches of snow on the ground made up most of the Thanksgiving Day picture in Missoula. Two union church services were conducted over the holiday- one at the Evangelical United Brethren Church Wednesday night and the other at the First Methodist Council of Churches and the affiliated School of Religion of Montana State University. Dr. Richard S. Ford of the school gave a sermon on "Grasping for Hidden within a "gracious act of kindness can be a sin of a devastating nature that which I choose to call grasping for gratitude," Dr.

Ford said. "In our anxiousness to receive a reward, we have fallen into a pit we are caught in the web of grasping for gratitude. Unintentionally we have revealed a secret motive of our giving that the reward of gratitude is our just due for our good works. And we quickly grow weary in our welldoing if it is not forthcoming." He termed this concern for reward only a symptom of a deeper problem. He said this is the problem of anxiety.

"Man is anxious, basically as a concern about his death." according to Dr. Ford. clutching for mere physical existence "we are denying that we are he declared. "In the Christian. faith we have the great assurance that man is not mere flesh and blood, but that he has a spirit which can begin living eternally now, if he would live the faith of God.

The temperature ranged from 30 to 36 degrees. Pavements were generally slick over western Montana and a half dozen or more cars went into ditches. Officers and highway authorities were advising as many as possible to stay off the highways. Sanding, crews and wreckers were busy, especially on the mountain passes.

"No," Press Secretary James Hagerty replied, emphatically, the President back to normal. Hagerty added: "Don't try to rush a complete recovery by the President, That would be an error." Hagerty said going to church Thursday morning--and he said it was the President's own idea, okayed by his doctor -indicated "just exactly what the doctors have been saying that his progress has been excellent." In reply to a specific question, Hagerty said Dr. Howard M. Snyder, the President's personal physician, had reported there is no indication that Eisenhower has arterio-sclerosis, or hardening of the arteries.

The press secretary said he was informed that Eisenhower's general arterial condition "has never given any evidence" of hardening of the arteries. Hagerty also reported a very great recovery from the speech impairment that has been a manifestation of the President's illness. One result of the bounce-back display put on by the chief ecutive Thursday could be to fur. ther undercut various reports that he might resign and turn the helm of state over to Vice President Nixon.

Warning Given On Soviet Missile Subs WASHINGTON (AP) American intelligence was reported Thursday night to have told investigating senators that Russia now has some submarines able to launch from hundreds of miles away nuclear-headed missiles that could devastate large East Coast cities. The Reds were said to be building more. Informants said this information was given to the Senate Preparedness Subcommittee investigating the missiles program.

The senators Wednesday heard Allen Dulles, head of the hush-hush Central Intelligence Agency, give secret testimony about Russian developments. After the closed session, some of the senators expressed shock at what they had been told about Soviet military might. But details were not given out. Sources in a position to know, however, said Thursday, night that the committee Russia now has a few-perhaps four -submarines capable of firing a missile with a nuclear warhead up to 700 to 900 miles. The intelligence report was said to have estimated a missile from one of the subs could cause disaster over an 80-square-mile areahalf of this area destroyed by the nuclear blast itself and half contaminated by radioactivity.

"This means they are practically in a position to wipe any major city on the Eastern one informant said. He did not say any of the subs were now at sea in a position to start a missile attack, however. The. Soviets were said to have 450 submarines all told that are capable of being equipped with the missiles. More beyond the four were reported being outfitted.

The 450 total was described as eight times the number of conventional submarines that the Nazis had at the start of World War II. However, U. S. Navy chiefs have said they are able to cope with a large number of enemy subs in case war should break out. One source said CIA reported the Russian subs could launch their missiles while still submerged.

The missiles were described as reportedly, of the "cruise" type. Presumably this would mean a guided missile, as opposed to a ballistic missile which goes much faster and is aimed like a bullet rather than being guided in flight. The United States itself has a (Continued on Page 2, Column 5) "We confirmed that no further arms would be sent from the United Kingdom to Tunisia without continued consultation with the French government. "But I did not, because I did not think it right, give any absolute guarantee on our part. "We agreed to work out together arrangements designed to avoid the recurrence of the difficulties such as those which have recently occurred." France protested the shipments of small arms before they were made two weeks ago.

The French feared the submachine guns and rifles in the shipments would reach rebels fighting French rule in neighboring Algeria, The United States and Britain said they were assured the arms would not reach the Algerians. They said they acted to keep Tunisia from turning to the Soviet bloc for arms. French officials in London said Gaillard repeatedly tried to pin Macmillan down to acknowledging that Britain should not have damaged relations with France by sending arms to Tunisia. He sought vainly to win pledges that this would not happen again. The British were embarrassed, meanwhile, by a Paris dispatch reporting that two months ago France was asked by Yemen for weapons and turned down the request after consulting London.

A Foreign Office spokesman admitted the report was true spe. cifically that the French rejected Yemen's bid because the guns and bullets might be used against British forces in the adjacent Aden protectorate. The Yemeni kingdom, which has had some arms from Russia, has an old quarrel with Britain over ownership of parts of the Aden protectorate. Fighting has often flared along the disputed border. Nuclear Bombs 'Safeguarded' In U.S.

Planes LONDON UP Prime Minister Macmillan said Thursday U. S. authorities have taken elaborate precautions' to prevent a nuclear in the crash of any crippled U. S. Air Force bombers in Britain.

He told the 'House of Commons the nuclear weapons carried U. S. planes flying from British bases are not armed. The weapons are in separate components that do not become alive until the plane crews take action to unite the parts. Macmillan said a nucleararmed U.

S. bomber doubtful of making a safe landing in Britain can be refueled in the air to fly back to its own base in the United States. For the second day running members of the opposition Labor party expressed concern because U. S. aircraft flying patrol missions from Britain were carrying nuclear weapons.

Auto Hits Man Fatally Near Laurel LAUREL (P Thanksgiving in the Laurel area was marred by a highway fatality near the Northern Pacific Railway yard office.
