GOP Chairman Sees Republican Victory Nationol Committee In Annual Session Washington. Jan. 20 —(UP) — Chairman Carroll Reece of the Republican national committee today predicted a sweeping GOP victory in November, and promised an early end to costly “crisis government.” Addressing the opening business session of the national committee. Reece again pledged a hands-off" policy in the selection of ' the Republican presidential nominee. But he said the GOP candidate, ‘ whoever he may be, will ride to victory.” “It is through our party alone,”! he told committee members, “that the people of this country will have opportunity to put an end to 16 years of crisis government.” “Crisis after crisis has been created.” Reece said. “It has required that all of our people give up more of their income and make more sacrifices in their standard of living in order to put added billions in the hands of Washington's spenders.”

Reece said the billions of dollars asked by the administration for foreign aid would never have been necessary except for an “infamous alliance" between the Democratic party and the communists. As the national committee met to outline campaign plans, delegates expressed belief that the scramble for the GOP nomination would be no less than a four-cor-nered fight involving Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York, Sen. Robert A Taft of Ohio, former Gov. Harold E. Stassen of Minnesota and speaker Joseph W. Martin, Jr., of Massachusetts. Those willing to discuss candidacies, even privately, disagreed on the outlook for supporters of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower and Gen. Douglas MacArthur. Some expected the boom for both generals to die down by convention time in June. Others said Eisenhower in particular would remain a dark horse possibility to the end. Rep. Katharine St. George, R.. N. Y„ keynoted GOP campaign confidence last night when she said the third party candidacy of former vice president Henry A. Wallace was biought about by “a merciful providence.”

So I took between $19,000 and $15,000 during the past Ift years.” Dillon was paid $165 a month as manager of the Spiceland. Ind.,, branch of the Citizens State Bank of New Castle.

A third son is an Indiana state police trooper. Dillon asked federal authorities to permit him to “start serving my sentence immediately" and was disappointed when authorities told him he would have to wait to appear in court for sentencing. “I want to get this thing over with as quickly as possible.” he said. “But I feel better now than I have at any time in the last 10 years.” His attorney, Eugene Yergen, said Dillon had been active in the religious and civic affairs at Spiceland “like any small town banker” for 30 years and that his salary simply was not adequate to maintain his standing in the community. Yergen told Hughes that Dillon ! had become “mentally ill” worrying about his financial troubles and asked that he be confined to a hospital for observation. He said police found Dillon unconscious in his car after it left a highway near Spiceland two days ago. The banker admitted taking several sleeping tablets, A gun lay on the car seat beside him. - ' Dr. James Habegger To Geneva, Illinois Berni); Jan. 20 — Dr. James Ha--be'ftgor. son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Habegger of near Berne, has accepted a position as resident physician at the Community Hospital in Geneva, Hi., and starts his work there today.

Slate May Conclude Walts' Case Today Negro Truck Driver On Trial For Murder Shelbyville. Jan, 20— (UP) — The prosecution in the first degree murder trial of Robert A. Watts indicated that the state’s case against the 25 year-old truck driver might be completed today. The trial began Jan. 12 in Shelby circuit court. Watts is accused ai the shotgun death ot Mrs. Mary Lois Burney in Indianapolis last Nov. 11. Yesterday’s witnesses for the state. testified that the negro navy veteran was in the neighborhood of the Burney home on the day of the murder. Among the witnesses was Mrs. Harriet Stout, on whose complaint Watts was first arrested. The attractive executive secretary of the Indiana League of Women Vaters testified that Watts used a ruse in gaining entrance to her home about a half-mile from the Burney residence on the day of the killing. She identified a butcher knife as one that Watts used to threaten her with before she escaped to the home of a neighbor. A finger print on the knife was described as “similar” to Watts’ print by Albert G. Perrott, Indianapolis city finger print technician. State police ballistics technician Harold Joliffe testified that shells found in the Burney home were fired by the shotgun which the state says is the death weapon. '

Marion county prosecutor Judson L. Stark testified concerning a statement made by Watts in which the negro defendant allegedly admitted killing the pretty Indianapolis housewife. The statement was admitted as evidence last week over defense allegations that it had been obtained by coercion. 0 Draftsman Position Is Open For Exams Position Is Open At Wright Field Open competitive examination for jH-obational (permanent) appointment in the federal civil service for position of statistical draftsman, CAF-6, $3,021 a year, was announced today by the executive secretary, board of U.
