Tokyo prepares for President Eisenhower's arrival June 19 with 25,000 police, 13 escort trucks, and vehicle convoys as Japanese groups debate demonstrations. Communists threaten action but some labor and socialist factions seek calm, amid broad anti‑Eisenhower sentiment and legal limits on mass arrests.
President Eisenhower flew from Elmendorf Air Force Base to Wake Island for refueling on a trip aimed at Manila and Tokyo. He said risk to his safety would not deter the trip as he seeks to improve international understanding. The journey follows a warm Alaska reception after a 3700 mile nonstop flight from Washington. Prospects of a Manila welcome were high while Tokyo faced potential threats from left wing mobs. The 69 year old leader rejected advice to postpone the visit.
In western Argentina a vest-pocket revolt collapsed within about six hours after starting in San Luis. Loyal forces captured Gen Mauricio Gomez. Gen Rodolfo Larcher warned surrender by dawn. Rebels, numbering 309 to 400, were linked to the so called Gorilla group opposing Frondizi.
A committee of 38 military leaders ousted Premier Adnan Menderes and drafted a provisional constitution giving the junta supreme power. Gen. Cemal Gursel remains provisional president and premier and a show trial is planned for Menderes Bayar and other ousted leaders. A high justice court is to try them with judges selected by the ruling junta.
Vice President Nixon and House Republican Leader Halleck reportedly clash over school aid legislation. Nixon seeks a compromise to keep the issue from affecting the campaign. Halleck aims to block the measure. Senate and House propose different aid plans, with conferees to reconcile the four year 1.3 billion program and a two year 1.8 billion teacher pay and construction bill. Eisenhower may back a compromise if Congress acts.
Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller pressed Vice President Richard M. Nixon to outline new defense and foreign policy positions. Rockefeller, denying any presidential bid, said he would back Nixon if he secures the Republican nomination. He spoke on two television programs totaling about three hours.
Forecast calls for mostly cloudy skies and occasional showers and thunderstorms through Tuesday. Temperatures remain steady with highs near 82 and lows around 65, while rain returns Friday or Saturday after a clearing midweek. Middletown recorded .43 inches of weekend rainfall. Yesterday's high reached 85 and the morning low was 67.
Eastern Air Lines seeks a permanent injunction after a wildcat strike idled about half its fleet. Pilots face possible contempt for defying a temporary injunction issued by Judge Joseph Lieb after objecting to a FAA inspector behind the captain on jets. No Miami flights since Friday midnight. 9,400 passengers affected, 118 daily flights normally operate. Attendants and engineers reported to work while pilots stayed away. Idlewild New York flights all canceled. Newark LaGuardia and Boston Detroit operations curtailed.
At Anchorage President Eisenhower is greeted by 4,000 cheering locals as 90,000 others line the city. Hagerty says plans for Tokyo stay remain largely unchanged amid security shifts with 25,000 police expected. Ike notes Alaska as a bridge to Asia and travels proceed to Manila, Formosa, Tokyo, Okinawa, Korea, and Hawaii. His wife remains hospitalized in Washington with asthma.
A playful note recalls a mythic end of the world once foreseen by gods, now recast as a modern DIY undertaking. The line hints at human agency over fate with a light, irony soaked tone.
The House Appropriations Committee cut 790 million dollars from Eisenhower's foreign aid request, including 400 million from military assistance. If sustained, the measure would set the fiscal year total at 3.3845 billion of the 4.175 billion requested, plus about 400 million in unobligated prior funds. The full authorization stands at 4.0863 billion, 701.8 million below the requested amount. Eisenhower urged against cuts in military and defense funds. The Senate is expected to consider restoring some reductions.
At Geneva the French disarmament expert Jules Moch cautioned that Khrushchev's June 2 plan signals a complete change in Soviet policy though some principles stay the same. He noted the plan borrows ideas the French government had proposed.
Moch warned the authors of the plan against exploiting it to weaken the Western Alliance, saying any such move would backfire and not shake unity. In a first speech since resuming disarmament talks on June 7 he said the Soviet plan was drafted for a summit conference. Ormsby-Gore pressed Zorin with questions crucial to Western stance on the plan.
