Nerve Gases To Be Produced in West
Washington—(U.P.)—Nerve gas ammunition will be produced at a new ordinance plant the Army is planning to build in Denver, informed sources said today.
Nerve gases already are being produced at the chemical corps Rocky Mountain arsenal. But the new plant is believed to be the first to manufacture nerve gas ammunition in a "deliverable" form, such as shells and bombs.
The new $8 million plant, to be located at the Rocky Mountain arsenal, is expected to be ready in 15 months. The Army announced plans for its construction in an announcement late yesterday.
It said the plant would be used to "provide facilities for assembling and packaging chemical-type ammunition" but otherwise refused to shed any light on the purposes of the project.
Informed sources linked it with nerve gas, however. They noted that the plant is located at the Rocky Mountain arsenal and that the only chemical-type ammunition produced there is believed to be nerve gas which paralyzes and kills in a matter of minutes.
Army approval of the new plant was a strong indication that nerve gas development and production at Rocky Mountain has expanded to the point where additional ammunition producing facilities are needed. The plant will be filled with capacity to turn out shells filled with the lethal gases.
Wilson Heals Rift in GOP
Chicago —(U.P.) A public rift between Defense Secretary Charles E. Wilson and Illinois Gov. William Stratton appeared healed today in the wake of Secretary Wilson's apology for "bringing up those bird dogs."
The Republican governor introduced Mr. Wilson at a $100-a-plate Republican rally in the night, despite his suggestion that Mr. Wilson cancel his speech.
Mr. Wilson told an audience of 1,500 "I am sorry I made inept remarks" while talking about unemployment.
"I admit that I made a mistake—an unfortunate mistake—bringing up those bird dogs at the same time, talking about people." Mr. Wilson said.
He then accused "our left wing opponents" of "hitting below the belt" by "deliberate misrepresentation" of his famed remark about bird dogs and kennel dogs at a news conference in Detroit Monday.
Profanity Burst Over Television Denied by Nixon
Van Nuys, Calif.,—(U.P.)—Vice-President Richard Nixon denied through a spokesman today that it was he who cut loose with a burst of profanity during a televised speech here.
Many TV viewers, who swamped the TV station and newspaper switchboards following Mr. Nixon's address last night, expressed the belief it was the vice president who blurted out the words, "who the hell did that?"
A spokesman for television station KTTV, which telecast Mr. Nixon's speech locally, said KTTV was "absolutely flooded" with telephone calls.
The outburst hit the airwaves moments after Mr. Nixon ended a paid political telecast and stood on the speaker's platform with local GOP candidates, on whose behalf he had spoken.
James Bassett, national GOP publicity director, immediately denied the words were uttered by Nixon and blamed the blooper on KTTV but refused to comment, but said he would stand on Bassett's remarks.
A spokesman for KTTV said the words came over as the camera was showing a long shot of Nixon with Congressman Patrick Hillings (R-Cal.) and Reps. Edgar W. Hiestand and Joe Holt.
Red Course Hinted In Trieste Accord
United Nations, N.Y.-(U.P)-The Soviet Union's acceptance of the recent Trieste settlement may indicate the latest Kremlin course in relations with the West, informed sources said today.
Soviet Delegate Andrei Y. Vishinsky in a brief note to the U.N. Security council president last night announced that Russia recognized the Western-sponsored Yugoslav-Italian agreement on Trieste. The accord was initiated in London earlier this month.
The agreement, which divides the
O'Dwyer Tells OfRedsToday
The former mayor of New York City was subpoenaed to appear at the opening of the subcommittee's two-day hearing here into Communist espionage in Latin America.
Los Angeles—(U.P.)—Former U.S. ambassador to Mexico William O'Dwyer was to testify before a House subcommittee today on what he knows of Communist attempts to infiltrate Latin America.
Mr. O'Dwyer, who arrived in Los Angeles this week from Mexico City, where he now has a law practice, refused to divulge what he would say at the hearing. "Wait and see," he told reporters.
The subcommittee's chairman, Rep. Patrick J. Hillings (R-Calif), said the former diplomat was subpoenaed to testify because it was felt he could render valuable information to the probs.
territory between Yugoslavia and Italy, was reached by the two countries under the sponsorship of the United States and Britain. The strategic port of Trieste goes to Italy under the accord.
Russia previously has insisted that it could not accept any agreement on Trieste which was not concluded within the United Nations. The Treaty was given under sponsibility for Trieste under the 1947 Italian peace treaty.
However, the Soviets reversed their decision and Vishinsky said in his letter to Council President William Borberg of Denmark:
"The agreement concerning the free territory of Trieste has been reached as a result of the understanding between Yugoslavia and the countries immediate interested and is acceptable to those countries.
"In view of this circumstance, we also of the fact that the above-mentioned agreement between Yugoslavia and Italy will promote the establishment of normal relations between them and thus contribute toward a relaxation of tension in that part of Europe, the Soviet government takes cognizance of the above-mentioned agreement."

Famed New Orleans Street 'Middle of Hell' to Graham
New Orleans —(U.P.)— Evangelist Billy Graham sat back and grimly recounted his night-time ride through "The middle of hell."
It was relatively quiet that night as Mr. Graham, two Baptist ministers and a former state trooper stepped into the car after a revival at Pelican stadium.
"Somebody asked me if I wanted to see the French quarter," sighed the tall, blue eyed evangelist who wore a dark coat and sade here, "So we gw, down there."
As their car turned into rowdy old Bourbon street and slowed in the bumper to bumper traffic, jazz music roared from the open doorways of glittering bars. Flashily dressed barkers, framed by big posters of scantily clad stripteasers, winked and cajoled the passbys: "The show's just starting, folks, they're taking it off."
"I thought I was in the middle of
a road," he said. "I was a sketch in the
northwest of God."
He said they made only one trip up the one-way street.
"I certainly didn't want to linger there," Mr. Graham said. "I told them to take any street back out of there, anyone but Bourbon. Heavens no, I didn't go in any of those places."
Mr. Graham devoted his sermon the following Sunday to the "Sins of New Orleans" and scathingly denounced a "certain New Orleans street" he had visited.
The attack brought an angry reaction from some of Bourbon's family.
Sultry Stormy said Mr. Graham's criticism was "like pointing an elephant gun at a house."
"The street is well-lit and well-patrolled and remarkably free from vice compared to other streets in Chicago and St. Louis," Miss Stormy said. She thought Mr. Graham was a "very sincere man" but asked, "Do you see anybody here going to hell?"
Mr. Graham, who said he has found a "great hunger for God" in New Orleans, charged that Bourbon street "detracts from the city. Anything that leads to immorality detracts from a city."
