Twice in Six Months
LA Shuts Down New York Shipping
New York — (U.P.) The 25,000 member International Longshoremen's association shut down the port of New York for the second time in six months today in a bitter dispute over one year's back wages.
Shipping spokesmen immediately voiced fears the new tieup would force diversion of millions of dollars in cargoes and permanently cripple the nation's busiest port.
Today's strike order, backed by unanimous vote of the union's rank and file, took effect at every pier in the port except those used by the military.
The last strike by the LAST aged 29 days and cost the port $500 million dollars in lost cargoes and shipping business. Three LAIL leaders were jailed and the union was fined a total of $2,500 for pressing the tieup in the face of a federal court ban.
The strike order was issued by the union's 170-man wage policy committee after 25 locals voted unanimously to reject an industry demand for a two-year contract
San Antonio, Tex. —(U.P.)— Adm.
Arthur W. Radford declared today that the United States must build the best fighting machine in the world because it cannot depend on anything else for its "ultimate security."
Radford Asks Strong Force
Adm. Radford, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, warned that this country's armed forces are "relatively small" compared to those of the Communist bloc.
To counter this power, he said, America must develop more efficient fighting men, superior weapons, and better techniques than "any other nation." He said it also must pursue a "vigorous" and "long pull" military program that will assure a "high plateau" of preparedness "for as many years as we can seesee."
"In war there is no intermediate measure of success," Adm. Redford told the Texas Mid-Coninent Oil & Gas association. "Second best is to be defeated, and military defeat carries with it national disaster—political, economic, social and spiritual disaster."

John A. Burke, federal mediation officer, said he would call separate sessions of the ILA and shipping representatives later today to "get the facts."
Escaped Flier Tells of Red Power in Jets
Berlin —(U,P)— An East German airman who swam to freedom here last night said today Soviet Germany has an air force of hundreds of pilots, many with jet training, ready for action as soon as Russia equips it fully with modern planes.
Sgt. Horst Becker, 20, said he had flown 86 hours in Soviet-made propeller-driven planes and was scheduled soon to go to Russia for jet training when he "chose freedom" rather than spy on fellow pilots.
Becker was promptly turned over to Western authorities for questioning about Red German rearmament, which has been in progress for years while the Allies bickered about rearming West Germany.
The sergeant, clad only in "long-handled" underwear, swam more than a mile down the Havel river from Red Germany and was thoroughly chilled when police fished him out here. They took him to a hospital at once, and he was none the worse today for his experience.
The Communists are expected to accelerate their arms program as a result of this week's London decision to recruit a 500,000-man army in Germany's western zones.

Mohammed Ali denies—with a smile—that he became prime minister of Pakistan as the result of a coup aimed at aligning his country with the West.

A Friend of U.S.
Now Ali has arrived in the U.S. for a visit, on the invitation of President Eisenhower.
It did happen, however, that not long after Ali assumed office in April 1953 the swing to the West started.
Pakistan's Swing to West Tied to Accession of Ali
It is an important visit. The United States can have few warmer friends than the 44-year-old leader of the 76 million people of Moslem Pakistan.
"Its efforts should be appreciated. It is activated by a great good."

Pakistan has concluded an arms aid agreement with the United States. It has concluded an alliance with Turkey, which is a member of North Atlantic Treaty organization. It has outlawed communism.
Ali carried out his policy of linking Pakistan with the western democracies against Communist aggression over the protests of "neutralist" India and despite the open anger of Soviet Russia.
"I do not believe in neutralism," he said on his arrival in New York Sunday. "One has to align oneself with one side or the other. That is why we have aligned ourselves with the West."
"The United States desires only peace," he said at a press conference last December, while arms aid negotiations were under way.
His views are summed up in two brief statements.

Soviet Charges Chiang 'Piracy'
United Nations, N.Y.—(U.P.)-Russia pressed a diplomatic flank attack against the Chinese Nationalists in the United Nations today, charging Chiang Kai-shek with "piracy" in the China seas.
Debaters to Begin Freshman Tourney
The General assembly's 15-member steering committee scheduled a meeting to decide whether the Soviet charge should be put on the agenda for debate.
Twenty freshmen debate squad members will compete this week in the Freshman Debate tournament.
Little opposition was expected to putting the "piracy" item on the agenda. But the committee was expected to attempt to persuade Mr. Vishinsky to agree to having his disarmament proposals included as part of the debate on the overall problem of arms reduction which is expected to open the main political committee's work late this week.
The steering committee also will have before it Soviet delegate Andrei Y. Vishinsky's request that the assembly put the Kremlin's latest disarmament proposals on its agenda as a special item.
The U.S. is mentioned by implication in the Soviet complaint which charges that "in recent months, cases of piratical attack on merchant ships of various countries in the China seas and of the seizure of such ships by Kuomintang naval vessels have multiplied."
ruchard Wilke, freshman debate coach, said the tournament, which is judged by upperclass debaters is ahead of the final for interscholastic debate tournaments.

The freshmen will debate on "Resolved. That the United States Should Extend Recognition to the Communistic Government of China."

Candidates Press Kansas Campaign
Abilene—(U.P) —George Docking, Democratic candidate for governor, carried his campaign to central Kansas today with a call for immediate state aid to high schools.
Mr. Docking also said he believed the 1955 legislature would provide the money for the aid.
"If we can spend $7 million for a modern class office building we can find the funds needed for high school aid," the candidate said. He referred to money being spent on a new state building at Topeka.
Aitchison—(U.P.) —Fred Hall has urged an investigation into a proposed gas rate hike for Kansas before it becomes final.
The candidate for governor on the Republican ticket objected in a campaign speech that the hike to Kansans averaged $1.20 a month, while only averaging $1 to Missourians.
"It would seem more logical to me that the rate increase in Kansas should be less—not more—than it is in Missouri," Hall said. "Most of this gas comes from the great southwestern Kansas gas reservoir. I am certain it costs less to deliver this gas to Kansas consumers than it does to carry it to the states in the East."
McPherson—(U.R.)—Russ B. Anderson, McPherson city attorney, announced today he will launch his Democratic campaign for attorney
general with a speech tomorrow evening in Great Bend.
"In my opening speech I will tell the people of Kansas why the private as well as the public life of a state official should be above reproach," Mr. Anderson said. "I believe my remarks will be of wide interest to the people of Kansas."
Baldwin —(U.P.)— Rep. Errett P. Scrivener came to Baldwin today on a swing through the Second Congressional district.
