C<IIVICTS The hero of Santa Venet1a, California - 1a Dukie the Boxer. The pooch who barked so long and so loudly - that Mrs. Dorothy Worley knew someone wae in the woods. When a rough looking group of rather x-,,...1:•killl men appeared -- Mrs. Worley decided that ahe 1 4 better call the sher1tf. And thi.t 1 1 how tho■• tive escaped convicts - were rounded up. They broke out ot San Quentin - yesterday. They mtght atill be at large - if Mrs. Worley•• boxer hadn't 1'-rt•cl barking at them. ATOMIC - The latest American appeal to Khrushchev was issued - without much hope of an affirmative response. After all, the boss of the Kremlin - could have allo.ed some progress at the Geneva Conference. He could have given some hint - that he n1 interested in a cheat-proof atomic teat ban. Since 1hru1hchev didn't do 10 then - it•s taken for granted that he won•t do 10 now. Then - why today's appeal? First - to keep the record straight on who 11 preventing a teat-ban. Secondly - to answer the neutrali■ ta in Geneva. They've been dellalldlng more concessions trom the weet - than from the Eaat. And• want them to know - that ••re ready to sign a teat-ban treaty toaaorrow. With the 1011 and sane condition - that a genuine inspection system must be built into it. No more taking - JChrushchev•s word. BOXDfG I I one of the world 1 e great sports 1s under fire tonight - aa never before in its long history. I guess I don't have to tell you - the reason. The death of Benny "Kid" Paret - ha1 shaken boxing fans everywhere. And a lot ot people - who never go near the ring. Paret, who bung on gamely tor ten days - atter the battering he took from Bm1le Or1tt1th. Bill, the loser in the welterweight Mtbt title match - never ••rpd from hie coa. The P91nt seeme to be - that nobody can be bl.iliilld tor the tragedy. Not the referee, the handlera, thi ~ n - or the doctora. The real culprit, in the eyes ot the cr1t1oe - la boxing itself. They want the sport, that goe1 all the-, back to tbe classical Greeks - outlawed. CUBA The mass trial in Havana le turning into - a blatant propaganda circus. W1tneseee, departing from the indictment - to make scathing speeches about the United States. One unexpected point - the charge that American planes took part in last Apr11 1 e abortive invasion. Caetro has never ■a~e such an allegation - even 1n eix complaints at the u.1. But hie puppets - came up with it today. Asserting that American aircraft cauaed many casualties - before they were driven ott. Meanwhile, Castro is having more trouble - with the rest or this hemisphere. Today, Ecuador became the titteenth Latin-American nation - t o ~ break diplomatic relations with caatro•s Cuba. He now has formal ties with only tour - Bolivia Brazil, Mexico, and Uruguay. INDIA The Indian Parliament in New Delhi, to no one•e eurprise - has reelected Prime Minister Nehru. Today 1 1 vote being, the logical conclusion of - an elementary syllogism or democratic politics. The congress Party or India won an overwhelming victory - in the last election. Rebru heads - t~, Congress Party. Ergo - Nehru returns as Prilll N1n11ter ot India. The question of free h uses for astronauts - ha1 been settled. There was no la• a ainst the offer made by the tiou ■ ehold h&aociation of tl ouston, Texas. The offer of a twenty-four thousand dollat ho ■• - for each astronaut. Hot illegal - but what about the proprietiea? Ho• would it loot? Today the Space Administration decided thi acceptance would not be in the beat int•~•• of all concerned - and this evening the astronaut• let it be known that they declined with thanks. A United ~t tes district judge today ordered the city of New Orleans to take a giant step upward in its stairstep program of desegregating public schools.

Dunn accuses theee firms of - "bookkeeping razzle-dazzle" - on contracts for the Nike anti-aircraft missile. Another phraee that came out in today's hearing - "pyramided profits." Meaning - profits on profits. The firms, alleged to have presented bills to the government - in which the final figure was arrived at, by totaling all the costs of all the sub-contracts. That final figure - one and a half billion dollars. AIGERIA The question is Algeria is - how long the patience of the Moelems will endure. It could be near the breaking-point after today's atrocities by the Right Wing underground. In particular, the ferocious atrocity of a band of OAS gunmen - invading a Moslem hospital in lilt Algiers. Turning machine guns - on helpless patients. The toll - ten dead, eight wounded And it would have been much higher - if some patients hadn't managed to escape.down corridors and through windows. The shooting at the hospital is enough to make the Moslems look for - revenge. On the other hand, they know very well - that's Just what the OAS wants. Renegade General Salan, hoping to provoke a Moslem rising - that will force the French army to intervene on the side of the Europeans. The psychological and social tensions are becoming intolerable - as Algeria spirals down toward a possible blood bath of horrendous porportions. SYRIA The rebellion in northern Syria - appears to have been one or the shortest on record. It started yesterday - in Aleppo. Tonight - it•s all over. The rebels or Aleppo - surrendering without a shot. Apparently the ba11c trable n1 - that they couldn't agree on an objective. Some of the rebela, being for - reunion or Syria with Egypt. The rest, ai■ply demanding - the return or Syria to e1v1lian government. The end or the military junta - that seized power laat ••k. The upshot seems to be - continued military control in Damaecue. But - without seven generals fled to Switzerland - and exile. GOUL&RT - 3 great nations.- finding out how closely they can work together in nthis momentous era of the All lance for Progress.
