HAGGERTY In Tok o, this evenin, Presi ential Secretary Jim Ha erty was in conference with Japanese officials in charge of securit. Arra i - for stron er measures to guard residen Eisenhower. When he arrives in Japan - on June Nineteenth. The JmU protection had better be a lot better - judging by what happened to Hagerty, today. Mobbed - by wild anti-Eisenhower crowds at the airport, besieged 1n an automobile for over an hour - along with U.S. Ambassador Dou las MacMarthur, Third. •fue rioters, in a frenzy - smash 1 at the car. occupants getting away - only when a U.S. military helicopter descende, and picked them up. It appears that Hagerty•s idea was to drive by car from the airport into the city, as a trial run. In advance, - of the Presi ent. How would it work? The answer - an orgy of crazy violence. Fifteen thousand left wingers - 1n a frantic anti-American outbreak. Screaming-" o like Ike!" "Go home Hag". HAGGERTY -2 The police mesa ures the airport - utterly inadequate. The automobile, with a erty and the Ambassador at the mercy of the sh ieking ob. Which ripped the tires - and smashed a window of the a tomobile ... Until - a force of a thousand policemen arrived. And then it was - a savage battle between the rioters and the police .. Who, ttu finally, wereable to clear a space - for the helicopter to come down. In Tokyo, the word is that the original plan for President Eisenhower may be changed. The schedule has been - for him to make a triumphal~ procession with the Japanese Emperor om the airport through Tokyo Streets - to the Imperial Palace. Instead, he may fly by helicopter - perhaps landing inside the enclosure of the Palace Which is surrounde by a wall and a moat - in the style of medieval fortification. Toda 1 s helicopter job was a good one. Eight of the whirley birds - hovering over the scene of the automobile besieged b the ragin crowd. The one that did the rescuing - HAGGERTY - 3 piloted b ajor Don F oss, of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, nephew of the orld War Two combat ace, Joe Foss. The helicopter, coming down, was met by a barrage of stones• which damaged it. Hagerty, the Ambassador and others - climbing aboard as fast as they could. Major Foss, taking off in such a hurry that a secret service man, who was trying to get up 1n the cockpit, was carried aloft for ten feet. Before he dropped off. One peculiar thing about the savage tumul.t was the td fact - that the infuriated rioters paid no attention to the American Secret Service men ,)Ibo kept their places - beside the besieged automobile ,Afld American news reporters circulated freely through the crowd - without being molested. The wrath of the mob - directed against Jim Hagerty, as a respresentative of President Eisenhower. The President, himself, something of a •pw-t symbol of the Japanese American Security Treaty )lhich the left wingers - are trying to overthrow. HAGGERTY - 4 Later in the day, Hagerty said - he ad been ready or trouble. There had been plent y of warning of de~onstrat1on but he never expected anything like that eruption at the airport. Tonight, the Japanese Foreign Minister went on television. ~pressing admiration for Jim Hagerty 1 s coolness I - in the face of real danger. The Foreign Minister called the outbreak - the "greatest disgrace. to Japan". A formal apol.ogy has been made to the Unfted States. But, at the au same time, a whole series of left wing organizations threatened to bring out a hostile force of a quarter of a million ~o riot against President Eisenhower. In Washington, the word remains - that the President will, neverthel~ss, make the trip to Japan. NIXON-ROCKEFELLER There was one burning question, today - that got all mixed up ln earlier news dispatches. Did Vice President Nixon and Governor Rockefeller shake hands - at the opening of the British exhibition in New York? First reports were - no, no hand shake. Second report - yes. But no hand shake - in public. So let's get it straight. The star of the occasion, of course, was Prtnce Philip - husband of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth the Second. But even royalty was, momentarily, submerged - by American politics. That question - of a hand shake. What the public and the newsmen saw - was this: Governor Rockefeller - on the rostrum, when Prince h111p entered, accompanied by the Vice President. The Governor - joining the crowd in clapping hands for the utam nation's royal guest. Now when you clap hands, you can't shake hands. Just try to do the two things at the same time - and see how NIXON-ROCKEFELLER - it won't work. So, instead of a han -shake, ixon tapped Rockefeller on the shoulder, by way of reeting. However, here's what the public and the newsmen - . did not see. Previously, the Governor and the Vice President had met by accident, in an ante-room, and there - they shook hands. Nixon saying: "It's good to see you again, Nelson". To which Rockefeller answered: ."It's good to see you • . " -1..tt d ~ a,l So then, out on the rostrum, there _ wasAnot ,r ■vn c<. • '" /< t• ~t need for a second hand shake -- and it•• fi,!.c, ol}.for the Govemor to keep on applaud1ng -= ;.a:3iiii~~i2' Prince Phlllp. In the speeches that ·followed, Governor Rockefeller noted gracefully - that Prince Philip, today, had brought him together with the Vice President."Tnere's great unity among all of us - regardless of party considerations." Which After the oratory, the three prin~ipal figures made a tour of the magnificent British exposition. ~ich included - NIXON-ROCKEFELLER - 3 a stop at a duplication of an En lish pub. The bar-maids -- 1n the traditional costume of an ol glish tavern. The three di nitaries ha, each, a mug of ale - Id: while the bar-maids sang 'Happy Birthday". Prince Philip - thirty- nine years old, today. Later, there ma was a birthday reception for Prince Philip - at the Waldorf. The crowning feature of which - was a giant birthday cake) Witleh WIii carried in - by a plat'bon of waiters. The cake so big - DJ they couldn't get it in C between the tables. Wlffcti required some hazardous maneuver1 A '1 ;t{ . r"' •\ it one wayA and the lighted candles on - the waiters til , the cake came in contact with a British flag, on.A table. Nearly setting the Union Jack - on fire. Then the waiters tilted the cake the other way, and it nearly fell on top of Prince Philip. Who looked around in alarm, as he seemed about to be engulfed in gooey birthday Cake • NIXON-ROCKEFELLER - 4 But they finally got it fixed. The Queen's husband - having quite a day in New York. " ' ; ·, . . WEST POINT West Point - always produces one of the sentimental. features of the year. Graduating cadets - getting married. One, this year - second Lieutenant Joseph Wiley of Hartsville, Tennessee. His bride - Joan Cole of Hull, Massachusetts. Who have entered matrimony - with considerable excitement. Just before the wedding, the couple were driving near West Potnt - when their car hit a power line pole. The crash knocked down live w1res,}fh1ch fell over the car - and trapped them. ,.Until the wires - were cleared away. They got married, all right, yesterday - and were driving on their honeymoon, when the car skidded off the road, u down an embankment and into a tree. The bridegroom - incurring a fractured rtb. The bride - a cut on her arm. REPUBLICANS In Wash1 ton, today, the GOP National Committee adopted a resolution - ,t•wbg praising President Eisenhower and Vice President Nixon. Which might seem to be a rep~y to Governor Nelson Rockefeller of New York criticism of the •nu administration and the Vice President, as a candidate for the Republican nomination. Chairman Thruston Morton said that the consensus of opinion~ of the National Committee is that Nixon will be the O O? candidate. He adds -- he wouldn't be surprised if Helson (. Rockefeller,-••• before long, come• out as an open candidate for the Republican nomination.
