The Presi ent - ba cki ng Se c retary of State Dulles. Who said, y ester day - that we may assign fighters, to defen o ur planes in Japan. The section - where an American ,a photographic plane was shot down, by Russian jets, on Sunday. At his news conference today, the President added that Moscow seems to be more conciliatory in this case - than (instances / in forme~ u••••••; of Red at tacks on American planes. Be did not go into details, and the State Department ret'uaea to c01111ent - on ways in which the Reds are taking a milder tone. n.e President said the plane shooting incident is c omplicated - by a dispute over territory. The question - the Hab01181 Group of Islands. Are they Russian? Or are they Japanese? War time agreements gave the ~lle lslan s to the Soviets. But they didn't mention - the Habomal. Small bits of lan - at the southern en of the Kuriles. Near - the EISENHOWER - 2 oast of Japan. Both si d es claiming them. The American B-29 atta c ked, in the vicinity of those lspute islands. INDOCHINA The Indo-Chinese armisti c e c om.mi sion ba c ks the French effort to rescue refugees - fleeing from northern Viet Nam. Thirty to forty thousand people - flocking to the sea.

INDOCHINA - 2 The French are sen in g seven warships to pick up thousan d s more - of the fu g itives from C ommuni s m.

So ay . s high official of the worl or n1zat1on. Next year 11 rk the tenth aMiversary of the Unite Nations, 1d hl · h was founded in San Francisco. So it would be appropriate tor . ,, the General Assembly to hold Jts meetings 1n the itJ 4111 ~ the Golden Gate. But that we are told, 1s impract able. Instead, they will try to have some other kin ot U I gathering - but not the General Assembly. KAPITZA An interesting proposal - at the United Nations. In a d ebate - President Ei s enhower' s "atoms for peace" plan. The New Z ealand chief delegate appealing to Soviet Russia - to free Dr. Peter Kapitza. One of the world's greatest atomic scientists. Kapitza was a Russian in England, who worked with Lord Rutherford - the greatest of the pioneers, in the real.a of the atom. Kapitza - gaining a world reputation, when he was perpsuaded to visit hie native Russia. To which - he had not returned after the Bolshevik revolution. Once in Russia, he never came back. The Soviets holding him - as their c hief atomic scientist. Kapitza - credited with a large part of the development of the Soviet atom and hy d ro g en bomb. Reports are - he lives in luxurious confinement. In a spec i al villa,•• wtt h a re s earch i n st itute of hi s own. > But - a l ways under heav y guar d by the Soviet Secret P oll:e. KAPITZA - 2 So now, dele g ate Leslie Knox Monroe of New Zealan d calls on the Soviets - to free Kapltza. Let him participate in that Eisenhower proposal for turning atomic energy to purposes of world betterment. RUSSIA-RELIGION Another si g n of c han e in Soviet Rus s ia - quite a c han g e. C ommunist pa r ty o f fi i a l - or d ere not to interfere with church a c tivities, or ' hurt the feelin s " of believers. The decree was issued by the Central Committee of the Soviet Communist Party. Signed by Khrushchev, the committee chairman. Khrushchev, regarded as number two men to Malenkov - severely criticizes newspapers and Communist party organizations. For what he calls - "insulting attacks against the clergy and believers perfonning religious rights." Sonnds like another step away from the grim tryanny of Stalin. SPACE The Soviets are rushing plans for - a space ship. So ays aviation Executive William P. Lear. In fact he says the Russians will beat us on the inter-planetary deal unless own we launch an astronomical vehicle of our t■n mighty soon. We have heard before that the Soviets are using German experts they captured at Peenemunde, the Nazi rocket station. "The Germans" adds expert Lear, "were thinking in terms of space ships as u early as Nineteen Thirty Nine." Says he: "It will be possible to build one within another year." Cost? Oh, about a billion dollars. And we've heard that • ..._. same figure quoted before. or what value this space ship? Well, he says that first - the psychological effect would be staggering if the Soviets achieve an inter-planetary triumph. Juat the propaganda value alone. Secondly, a space ship, circling just outside the atmosphere of our earth like a satellite, would be an obe e rvatory and base of operations from which the power operating it would dominate this planet. So, he SPACE - 2 thinks we simply must hustle - get ourselves a space ship, right away -- or the Kremlin will have one - and then our g oose will be cooked. r AIR FORCE The Air For c e has grounde all F-100 fighter planes, the new super-Saber Jets. Following - three crashes, in which two lives were lost. One pilot - bailing out. The F-100 - a successor to the Sabre jet, the F-86 which won fame in Korea. This later model - the fastest operational plane in the world. With speeds - exceeding eight hundred miles an hour, supersonic. The crashes are being investigated - and, meanwhile, the super-sabres are grounded. NATURALIZITION To ay the island of Guam began a round-the-worl d set of c eremonies. It's alrea y tomorrow - out there on the other sid e of the international date line. Armistice Day - or rather Veterans Day. For more than a generation, November Eleventh has been hailed as the day of the Armistice, ending World War One. But that event, after a second World War, seems remote. So armistice day has been u changed to - Veterans Day. The celebration - a wholesale naturalization of citizens in every part of the United States and its territories. Guam beginning the proceedings - with eighty Filipinos and Micronesians taking the oath of allegiance. In the New York metropolitan area, twenty thousand aliens will be naturalized. Great throngs - in baseball parks. '8lta Which will be used as courtrooms - for the legal swearing in. At Birmingham, Alabama, forty one German scientists.

President Eisenhower repeats ~ his opinion that the t11tm interests of the country will be served - by the Dixon-Yates contract. MCCARTHY The McCarthy debate began, today, in the Senate - with an immediate outbreak orloisy wrangling. Senator Watkins of Utah, Chairman of the C ensure Committee, began the oratory - presenting to the Senat~the committee reco•endation that - McCarthy of Wisconsin be rebuked. He was interrupted by McCarthy~ who kept injecting questions. Criticizing - the proceedings of the Censure Committee. Watkins - answered back- in an angry dialogue, face to face. Senator John Marshall Butler, the Maryland Republican, followed - making the first formal address, against the A motion of censure. He said he disproved of McCarthy's .A conduct, on some points, but u felt that a Senate rebuke would "seriously Jeopardize minority rights." Would set a precedent, a code of conduct. Which would - - cramp the Senatorial style. Senator Butler contended, moreover, that a censure vote against McCarthy would give Communists and pro-Comunists McCarthy - 2 real c ause to celebrate. Senator Francis C ase of South Dakota, a member of the censure committee - •• raised - a technical point. Would the i censure resolution require a two third majority? The Bouth Dakota luaku legislator presented evidence pro and con - asking for a parliamentary ruling. The question was passed along for further study. Will a two thirds majority be necessary to censure McCarthy? Or - will a simple majority do? FOLLOW MCCARTHY A Pro-Mee rthy mass meeting was held in Washington this afternoon. Addressed - by Rabbi Benjamin Schultz, who told the gathering that "elements" against the Wisconsin - Senator "are out to get every anti-Communist in this country."
