Around the World—
U.S. Will Retain Control Of Europe Defense Aid
London—(U.P.)-U.S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles told the nine-nation German rearmament conference today that the United States will insist upon retaining control of the nature and disposition of U.S. aid to any European defense organization.
He flatly rejected a French proposal that control over American arms aid be turned over to an enlarged Brussels alliance.
Mr. Dulles' clarification of the American attitude on control of aid nipped an attempt by French Premier Pierre Mendes-France to enlarge the diplomatic victory he won yesterday when Britain promised to maintain four divisions of British troops on the continent. Mr. Dulles promised that American troops would remain on the continent if the defense arrangement is worked out at the current conference. But he warned that U.S. troops might be withdrawn if the conference fails.
Today's defeat was the first flat rebuff Premier Mendes-France has encountered since he came here to bargain sharply for Western European defense arrangement, tailored to French plans.
Authoritative sources said the French premier pressed at this morning's sessions for further concessions from his erstwhile allies in the defense arrangement. Brussels pact control of arms aid and even more firm commitments on the stationing of American and British troops in Europe were said to have been among his objectives.
Tokyo-Peiping radio reported that a Soviet delegation, headed by Communist party First Secretary Nikita Khrushchev arrived in the Communist Chinese capital today. Mr. Khrushchev told Chinese greeting him at Peiping airport that the strength of the Soviet Chinese peoples "exercised increasing influence on the settlement of international questions."
Guatemala City—President Carlos Castillo Armas said his government has "complete control" of arms shipped to Guatemala from Communist countries before pro-Communist president Jacebo Arbenz was ousted three months ago. He said that reports the Communist underground in Guatemala had the arms was not true.

Nevada Waits Senate Rule
Reno, Nev. — (U.P.)—State Attorney General William Mathews was expected to rule today on Gov. Charles Russell's authority to appoint a successor to Sen. Pat McCarran, veteran Nevada Democrat who died Tuesday.
Gov. Russell, a Republican facing a stiff battle for re-election said flatly he will name a member of his party to replace Sen. McCarran, if the state's election law permit him to do so. He ruled himself out as Sen. McCarran's successor.
Gov. Mathews, a Democrat, gave no indication how he would iron out the controversy created by Sen. McCarran's death.
Democrats disputing Russell's powers cited an ambiguous provision in Nevada election laws which says "vacancies occurring after the holding of any primary election shall be filled by the party committee of the county, district or state, as the case may be. Such action shall be taken not less than 30 days prior to the November general election."
Navy Gets First Atom Sub Today
Groton, Conn.,—(U.P.)-The world's first atomic submarine, the Nautilus, will be turned over to the Navy today in a history-making ceremony which will usher in new concepts of warfare at sea.
The Nautilus, which is believed to be capable of circling the globe without resurfacing, will be accepted by Adm. Jerauld Wright, commander of the Atlantic fleet.
The Navy will enter a new epoch when the commissioning pennant, a narrow bunting with seven stars, is run up the $55-million submarine's short mast at the top of its conning tower.
The Nautilus is the first ship which will be driven by atomic energy. A few pounds of uranium in its revolutionary new power plant is expected to supply enough power for 30 days at sea without resurfacing.
The vessel will be manned by select and highly trained specialists. Its 12 officers and 85 enlisted men were assembled as long as three years ago to learn their complex jobs.
The Nautilus will be commanded by Cmdr. Eugene P. Wikinson, a 36-year-old former schoolteacher, who was chosen not only for his exploits during World War II when he was a torpedo officer but for his knowledge of mathematics.
