Evidence Grows That Remon Assassin Came From Abroad
Panama City, (U.P.)-Military police seek the murderers of President Jose A. Remon today reported growing indications his assassins were "triggermen" sent here from abroad possibly by the Communists.
The National Assembly has proclaimed a 10-day "state of siege"—modified martial law—to aid the investigation and more than 30 persons are under arrest, but the identity and motives of the tommygun slayers are still a mystery.
The entire National Guard (Army) has been alerted for a possible revolutionary attempt, but no disorders have been reported in the country since the slaying Sunday night.
In New York, Ernesto De La Ossa, head of the Panamanian delegation to the United Nations, said last night he believed the assassination was "Communist inspired." He told a radio reporter (CBS) that Remon was "a vigorous anti-Communist in a country high on the Communist target list" and "I would bet my life it was a Communist plot."
Reports that a mysterious "gun moll" gave the signal for the shooting led to the arrest of two Panamanian women, Thelma King and Olga Yanis. So far nothing has been proved against them except both were on the scene and both were carrying revolvers in their handbags.
The two women had been known as supporters of ex-President Arnulfo Arias, arrested as a suspect, but both are said to have switched their allegiance to the relatively unknown PRI party.
The lack of revolutionary activity weakened the presumptive case against Arias, whose only likely motive for engineering the assassination of Remon would be to try to seize control of the government.
Norberto Navarro, principal leader of the PRI, has been living in Honduras for some months, but he came here for the Christmas holidays.
Authorities here are leanning more and more to the theory that the killing was an "outside job," if only because of the coolly professional way in which it was carried out. They doubted that any of Panama's known opposition gunmen would have been capable of such efficiency.
Remon was killed in the bar at the Juan Franco racetrack, where he was celebrating the victory of one of his horses in a Sunday race.
An eyewitness said the three killers first fired a brief burst from their machine guns, apparently as a warning, and then fired the lethal volley that cut down the 46-year-old president, a member of his bodyguard, and a swimming champion who may have been an "innocent bystander."

U.S. to Pay $2 Million For H-Bomb Incident
Tokyo — (U,P)—The United States has agreed to pay Japan $2 million for loss to life and property as the result of its hydrogen bomb tests in the Pacific this year, the Foreign office announced today.
The agreement was signed by Foreign Minister Mamoru Shigemitsu and U.S. Ambassador John Allison at a ceremony at the Foreign Ministry building.
Mr. Allison assured the Japanese in an informal statement after the signing that the United States "will take every possible precaution" against a recurrence of the "Fortunate Dragon" incident in future tests.
"This is not a safe world," he warned. "It is sometimes necessary to make dangerous experiments. But they should be surrounded by the utmost precautions."
Japanese officials hoped the agreement would heal the anti-American feelings which were aroused by the atom-dusting of 23 Japanese tuna fishermen near Bikini March 1 last year and end the agitation against further H-bomb tests.
The United States specified that it did not recognize any legal responsibility to compensate the fishermen of the Japanese fishing industry for subsequent losses as a result of the "atomic tuna jitters" which followed the illness of 23 fishermen and the death of one of them.
The United States maintained that fishing vessels had been warned to stay out of the danger area and that the fishing boat "Fortunate Dragon" was in the danger area when it was hit by a radioactive fallout.
Japan agreed that it would ask no more compensation from the United States for damages rising out of the Bikini tests.
The agreement left up to the Japanese government the amount to be paid to the injured fishermen of the "Fortunate Dragon" and how much to pay others for direct and indirect losses which followed the incident. Many tons of tuna were scrapped because they were radio active.
Japanese press reports said the United States was willing at first to pay only $1 million compensation but agreed yesterday to the $2 million figure.

2 Scientists Warn of War With H-Bomb
Champaign, Ill., —(U.P.)— Two scientists warned that a "small" hydrogen bomb war could spell the certain doom of mankind within 1,000 years.
Dr. Eugene Rabinowitch and Dr. Henry Quastler, both of the University of Illinois, said in a joint statement yesterday that the H-bomb's effects on heredity could thus begin the "creeping suicide" of the human race.
Dr. Quastler, a physiologist, said the generation alive at the time of the H-bomb war might survive, "and its children and its children."
"But the eventual fate of mankind would have been sealed and nothing could be done about it," he said.
Dr. Quastler said it is not yet known how much H-bomb radiation it takes to seriously affect heredity—"but we do know that radioactivity would have some effect."
The danger, he said, would be that the amount of radioactivity would grow with each new H-bomb explosion, disappearing only slowly over a period of hundreds of years.
"The danger is that we can contaminate the atmosphere so that every part of the land and air and ocean will eventually be affected," he said.
"It would be possible to explode enough hydrogen bombs for mankind to commit a creeping suicide."
