We Must Keep Japan Free For Security Of America, President Eisenhower Says TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras, June 22 (AP) Rebel Invaders of Guatemala announced tonight they had moved their "liberation army" headquarters from neighboring Honduras to the village of Camotan, 20 miles inside Guatemala. A communique issued here said the anti-Commu-rilst forces trying to overthrow the Red-tinged government of President Jacobo Arbens Guzman have occupied three other villages near Camotan and have destroyed two bridges near the vital rail town of Zacapa and another bridge across the Motagua River between Gualan and Morales. The communique acknowledged the fight for control of Guatemala's main port city, Puerto Barrios, still had not placed It in rebel hands and communications between it and the capital, Guatemala City, had not been cut off as yet. Associated Press correspondent Jack Rutledge reported from Guatemala City that major interest among authorities there was centered on the battle building up for possession of Puerto Barrios, on the Atlantic-Caribbean side.

His dispatch said a lone rebel plane swooped down twice over Guatemala City's airport at sunrise today and firing was heard in the vicinity. The plane, a single-engine P47 fighter of World War II vintage, then flew away. Rutledge reported scattered firing was heard around Guatemala City during blackouts last night. He said all power was cut oft during the blackouts and one dared not even light a candle for fear of being fired upon. Private advice from Guatemala said the town of Bananera, near Puerto Barrios, was In rebel hands.

These reports said Americana working on United Fruit Co. banana plantations there were nnharmed. All commercial shipping left Puerto Barrios last night, the sources said, and the port still was in government hands. The rebel communique here said the forces in the field now were under the command of Col. Ernesto Neiderhaitman.

Another commander named was Col. Guillermo Flores Avendanno. The communique said the insurgent high command gave officers of the Guatemalan army time enough to decide whether to join the rebel movement or he held responsible for the losses involved if they decide to resist the invasion. WASHINGTON. June 22 (AP) President Eisenhower declared It.

is "absolutely mandatory" to this nation's security that Japan 'be spared from falling under the domination of the Communism spreading over Asia. In an address before the National Editorial Association, Mr, Eisenhower indicated that preservation of a free Japan is Ihe keystone of American policy in Southeast Asia and the Pacific. Cantor Signed For $9 Million; Cincinnati Deal Frederick W. Ziv, chairman of ihe board of the Ziv Television Programs, Inc 1529 Mad On Predictability Of Many Accidents Cincinnatian Reports On 35,000 Cases, Gives Several "Scores" "The possibility now exists to predict, with reasonable certainty, when, to whom, and under what circumstances an accident is most and least likely to occur," Dr. Morris S.

Schul-zinger, Cincinnati, disclosed at San Francisco yesterday. Dr. Schulzinger reported on a study of 27,000 industrial and fi()00 nonlndustrial accidents handled in his private practice in the last 20 years. He operates an emergency hospital at 340 Reading and also is on the staff of Jewish Hospital. The Schulilnger report, says the National Safety Council as quoted yesterday by the American Medical Association, probably Is the largest and longest continuous study of accidents and their causes by one Individual In history.

Dr. Schulilnger drew a number of Interesting conclusions and suggestive Indications front his 35,000 rases. "SCORING" IS GIVEN Some "scoring" on accidents, both industrial and nonlndustrial, was listed by Dr. Schulzinger as follows: Accident rate at age 20-24 2', times at high as at 40-44; nine times at high as at 60-64. Period of highest incidence of accidents begins at 17 years, reaches peak at 21, virtually is over at 28.

Nonindustrial rate Is lowest at 5 a. peak at 5 p. m. The hours of 10 a. m.

and 3 p.m. are industrial accident peaks. Peak hour for children tinder 15 is 5 p. for young adults 15-40 years old, 10-11 p. m.

"An accident Is most likely to occur to a young male, age 21, on a hot and humid summer day In the montht of June or July, on a weekend or holiday, when he It driving a car or behaving aggressively; In the late evening hours, If he is not working, or In the homeward rwA hours o( late afternoon and early evening, especially If these also are hours of darkness," Or, Nrhiilzlngrr said. "SAFEST" IS LISTED "An accident Is least likely to occur to a healthy, well-adjusted girl, age IS, born and reared In a normal, secure and loving home, In which both parents are well adjusted, and If she has not experienced or witnessed major or frequent accidents In the past." Dr. Schulzinger questioned the theory of "accident prones" belief that most accidents occur to a relatively small, fixed group of individuals who can't help having such trouble. Rather, he said, indications are that over a period the "prone" group constantly is changing, some individuals dropping out and new ones coming in. "The challenge which the accident problem presents should he met by a new and more aggressive approach," Dr.

Schulzinger said, speaking before the section on preventative and industrial medicine and public health of the AMA convention. He commented that his 35,000 cases appeared to be representative of Cincinnati as a community, and included many complete family groups known over periods of years. The National Safety Council, quoted by the AMA in comments on the Schulzinger report, says that accidems kill 95,000 persons in the United States an-nuallv. permanently disable 400,000, and Injure nearly 10 million. War Power Continued WASHINGTON, June 22 (UP) The House passed and sent to the White House today legislation to continue for another year certain of the Presidents war powers, dating to 1941.

The authority, covered In Title II of the First War Powers Act, was due to expire July 1. The provision gives the President emergency authority in the handling of defense contracts. differences there on a river erosslng soon would be resolved. Covington officials will be ready shortly to sit down with Kentucky and Cincinnati officios on the matter, he said. Donald 11.

Holf, Hamilton County commissioner, suggested on behalf of the county, Cincinnati, the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce and the, Citizens Development Committee of Cincinnati that there ba a fifth bridge opposite the Cincinnati central riverfront and a new expressway In Covington. He proposed that the Clncinnati-Conneaut turnpike tie lnt Ihe Millcreek and Northeast Expressways and lxk toward a future bypass of the city west. FEE ROUTES PREFERRED The Rovernors'lirected their proper officials to meet immediately to employ engineers to make the study of traffic and the need for bridges. The resolution recorded the governors as preferring to build toll roads to carry heavy traffic to raising taxes or allowing the slaughter of motorists on Inadequate free highways to continue. The solid front thrown up by the governors behind a reduction in the number of Ohio Ither dams from 46 to 16 may speed up action by Congress.

Ixxks big enough to handln long tows at a single lockage and the elimination of several locks would cut transportation coats on the Ohio River in half, Colonel Derby asserted. Hene-fits to consumers In lower prices would exceed costs, he explained. There has been a siaggering grow th in river traffic since World War II, he explained, adding that traffic into and out of Ohio alone is the equivalent of seven 100 -car trainlonds every day, RIVER WORK SPURRED The governors urged a pro-grsm of replacement of existing locks as rapidly as possible, with immediate appropriations by Congress tq begin construction of new locks and dams at New Cumberland, Ohio; Green up, and Markland, and early action for design of other locks and dams. The Corps of Engineer envisions 20 years for the full Job, hut It could be done In 10 If Ihe funds were available, Colonel Derby said. jThe New Cumberland dam would cost an estimated $45 million, Greenup $65 million and Markland $77 million.

All 16 locks would approximate $1 billion.

If the KremHn and the rulers of Red China are able lo control the vast resources of Asia and give Japan the task of providing naval strength, the President said, the Pacific could become "a Communist lake." Speaking with utmost seriousness to the convention of editors of 5200 weekly newspapers, the President declared Japan to be the "key to the defense" of ihe Western Pacific. "So it becomes ahsolutely mandatory for us that Japan does not fall under the domination of Ihe Soviets, or Into the hands of the Kremlin," the President said Mr. Eisenhower appealed to the editort to weigh all facts carefully in presenting the crucial fssuet of foreign affairs to the public. Reminding the editors 'that "truth comprises more than knowledge," the President said he frequently hears more kinds of assertion which in themselves are truths but which must be lempered with wisdom and understanding. Such assertions, he said, were: That the United States cannot carry all the nations of the free world on its shoulders and should slop "international giveaway programs." It is very true, the President said, that we cannot by our own efforts make any nation free.

That this country should not allow our allies to trade with the Reds. Said Mr. Elsenhower: 4 It is, of course, true that while nations are trying to destroy us "we should not supply them with guns and ammunition with which to destroy us." We should not get Involved In Southeast Asia. It is true, commented the President, that America cannot be strong enough to defend the whole Unless there is determination in the threatened places to remain free, he said, those countries will In some way fall under the control of authority other than their own.

A spokesman for Henry Cabot Lodge chief S. delegate and council president for June, said shortly afterward that he had received no request for the meeting. The spokesman added It is doubtful there would be a meeting, in view of the fact thst Ihe Guatemalan situation is before the Organization of American States.

The Guatemalan ambassador has insisted in frequent comments here that his country is not dealing with the OAS and that the situation is not before the inter-American organization. The Honduras delegate at the UN, Tlburclo Cartas Informed of the new charges from Guatemala, said he rejects any Implication of guilt In the situation. He aid Honduras always Is glad to comply with UN resolutions, but It Is not guilty In this case. Nicaragua also denied at the meeting of the Security Council on Sunday that It was Involved In this affair. Castillo Arriola made it known that he wanted a meeting as quickly as possible.

The Soviet Union on Sunday vetoed a resolution by Colombia and Brazil to send Guatemala's complaint to the Organization of American States. Guatemala is not a member of the Security Council, but as a member of the UN it could request a meeting. Some diplomats here speculated the Guatemalan delegation would be reluctant to accept any more support from the Soviet Union, since the Guatemalan government specifically denied to the council that it is Communist. No" member of the council appeared ready at this time to demand an early meeting. George N.
