Hoover Willing To Remain With FBI Expected To Remain As Bureau Director WASHINGTON, UP —J. Edgar Hqover is willing to remain as director of the federal bureau of investigation under the incoming Republican administration, it was learned today. The 57-year-old FBI chief, now winding up his 35th year of continuous public service, would not discuss his plans. But informed sources say he has no present intention of retiring and will stay on the job if asked. It was considered a foregone conclusion that President - elect Dwight D. Eisenhower and his attorney general will ask Hoover to remain as FBl;chief. The veteran law enforcement officer is as highly respected by. Republican leaders as" by the outgoing Democratic administration. It was noted that Hoover, director of the bureau since 1924, has served under Republican as well as Democratic presidents and has always considered his job — and the work of his agency — as strictly non-political. ; \ Unlike many other high government officials, (Hoover does not hold his post by presidential appointment and senate confirmation. “He is appointed by the attorney general and is responsible only to him. . But starting with Re-publican Harlan; Fiske Stone in and ending.-with Democrat James P. the present incumbent each attorney general has quietly and without fanfare t retained Hoover in qffiee. For Hoover, the advent qf the new administration will mark the start of his 29th year as head of the FBI. • 111 1.11111 11. i j ~I I lill *1 111 II 111 Illi ! ■ U.II! what might he the Republican high command in the 1953 house.

Van Ness of Valparaiso were re-elected president pro tern. He called Van Nessa “splendid officer.” As fori appointments to statehouse jobs,h Craig said he has paid “little ort no attention” to them and has “ijiade no commitments.”

Newsman Is Driven Out Os Mississippi Abides By Threat] Os Yankee Haters TUPELO, Miss. UP —A youthful newspaperman prepared for a secret flight today with his* pregnant wife in compliance with an Ultimatum issued by masked "Yankee” haters who slashed his fa<*e and warned him to get out of town by nightfall. \ Perplexed authorities promised all-out protection but Newell Anderson, 27, city circulation manager of the Tupelo Daily Journal, said he had had enough of threats and violence. Anderson, who arrived with his wife a month ago, said he would leave secretly for his home in Fargo, N. D., today before the 6 p.m., call deadline given him in repeated warnings by the mysterious terrorists. t Anderson told police that 10 days ot threats and vandalism was climaxed Monday pight when two masked men took him for a ride, slashed him with a razor and warned him, “We don’t want Yankees in Mississippi.” *■ Police placed a 24-hour 'guard around Anderson’s home and offered him round-the-clock protection for 30 days, but Anderson said he preferred flight to risking further violence. Anderson returned a pistol which police had given him, saying, “1 couldn’t shoot anyone, anyway,” and prepared to leave for Fargo “as soon as possible.” He resigned his job Tuesday night. “We got to thinking about what would happen after those 30 days and decided to leave,” Anderson told police chief D. B. Crockett. He said he feared further incidents might have a bad affect on his wife. Both police and acquaintances were as mystified as the Andersons by the incidents.. No one knew- of anything Anderson could have done to arouse animosity. Police were told that while Anderson was being roughed .up by the two masked men Monday night his wife received a telephone call from a person who asked. “Where’s your husband tonight?” When she replied that he - was at the newspaper office, she said, the voice interrupted with “That’s what you think.” She said this happened more thkn once during the two hours her husband was being maltreated. Anderson said the two men who took him on the midnight ride ,in bis car wore masks and heavy gloves. He said he got in his auto Monday night and drove a short distance when a man arose from the back seat and told him, ’keep driving if you don’t want to get hurt.” c \ After he reached a country road. Anderson said, he was ordered to stop and a car that had been following pulled alongside and a second masked man joined them. He said they flashed his suit with a straight razor, cutting his face 811gl\tlyJ One man kept telling him, “We won’t hurt you this time,” Anderson said, and the other warned, “We don’t want Yankees in Mississippi,” and told him to leave town by 6> p.m. Wednesday. Police! said someone shattered the windshield of Anderson’s car last Thursday and the next day a telephone caller told Anderson he noticed I Anderson had not left town. Friday night Anderson found sugar in the fuel tank of his auto, police said. The newspaper announced a SIOO reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Anderson’s abductors and two individuals offered to increase the reward. \ ' 1 ' ' I ! ‘■ ’ SNIPER RIDGE (Continued From Page On») concealed in underground positions.

The ROK’s began their successful counter-attack at mid - day through a deadly screen of Communist hand grenades, mortar fire and artillery shells. They swept over Pinpoint and then thrust on to occupy some of position yoke on the far northwest end the ridge. At dusk tonight, another part of the ROK force was mopping up Chinese Survivors, driven out onto a small finger of land to the east. But Yoke was still largely in Red hands. Some of the gopher-like network of caves and tunnels on that rocky knob fell to the ROK’s, but the Reds held most of them. It was because of the caves and tunnels'that the Reds were able to hold Yoke during most of the\ 30-day Kurnhwa Ridge campaign. The South Koreans found 30,003 Communist grenades in one captured cave. Another cave was big enough to hold 160 men. If you have something to sell or rooms for rent, . try a Democrat Want Add. It brings results. < Trade In a Good Town—Decatur I

Despite this authoritative statement, thepe were two beliefs among diplomats here. One was that Lie might lie bidding for a votie of confidence in the form of an assembly request to stay on.
