Tells Os Escape As Theater Collapsed Waco Woman And Daughter Escape ' .1 WACO, Tex. UP —Mrs. Jack Parnell told today how she and her four-year-old daughter, Jeanette, escaped injury Monday when the Joy Theater collapsed about them during a tornado. Mrs. Parnell said they had seen a double feature, "The Lusty Men” and "Follow the Leader,” and got up to go home. When they ?ould see outside, she decided it was raining too heavily for them to leave, and she said they walked back down to the front of. the theater. "Just a second later, •* I heard the walls begin, to crumble. It was a terrible feeling,” she said. ■ i ( “And I heard someone holler, ‘Get down.’ I told Jeanette to get under a seat, on the floor, and she did. Then I laid down over her to protect her. "We just got on the floor and said, ‘Honey, let’s start praying.’. Then the walls came down in front and back of us. People were groaning and screaming. It was just terrible,” Mrs. Parnell said. Finally, a man with a flashlight led Mrs. Parnell from the rubble while another man carried Jeanette out of the debris and across the street. "I don’t know whether I’ll ever go to another show or not. 'I thought the end had come. I just closed my eyes and prayed,” she said. "I don’t think the atom bomb could be any worse.” f Chicago Man Dies Os Wreck Injuries Calderon, 53, Chicago, died Monday of injuries suffered near here Saturday in a truck-auto crash which also killed his wife, Millie, 45.

But ! there was a feeling here that the prime minister’s speech might cause some friction with the Eijenhiower administration, which has made it plain that it believes careful diplomatic ground work should precede any big power conference. It Was too early for official reaction from Moscow .which has long sought a conference of leaders. (But an editorial today in Izvestia, the Sbfviet (government newspaper organ, indicated the Kremlin may insist that the Chinese Communists; pe included in any big ,conrference. 1 j In hik House of CoAimons speech, Monday Churchill called for a small, informal, highly secret meeting of a few world leaders; He said nobody should be frightened “at having a try” for an international agreement which, he urged, might bring “a generation of peace.” 'lt was 'believed Churchill meant a meeting which would include Britain, the United States, France and Russia. British newspapers practically unanimously praised Churchill’s speech, I including even the Communist paily Worker. Frencji leaders praised tho speech. Government circles in West Germany and the Socialist opposition welcomed Churchill’s declaration that the Bonn government should not be sacrificed to obtain a settlement with Russia. The "Irish Independent,” Eire’s biggest morning newspaper in circulation, said editorially that Churchill had ‘‘seized the initiative" from the United States.

Voice Opposition To Solons' Pay Boost J • ■ Senate's Economy Bloc Scores Plan UP — Legislation m paise coagressional salaries ran J into opposition today from members of the senate economy Sens. J. Ellender D-La. Und Harry E. Byrd D-Va. said Congress has no business voting itself a pay increase until the' federal budget is 'balanced. Others raised “go slow” warnings. The senate judiciary committee Monday approved a (bill would give members of congress and most federal judges a slo,obo a year pay boost at a cost of about $9,000,000 a year. The bill would hike pay of senators and representatives from $15,000 to $25.0(|0 a year except the speaker of the house who would continue to get S4O 000 annually. It would lIKMJst federal district judges from sl-5.000 to $25,000 a yeat: circuit judges from $17,500 to $27,500; associate supreme court justices from >215,000 to $35,000 and the chief justice from $25,500 to $40,000 to put him on a par with the vice president and the speaker. The bill would also increase the pay;— and set up a new compensation system —for U. S. attorneys and prohibit them from engaging in private law practice.

small, as federal outlays go, congress should as a matter of principle defer consideration of the bill until the federal budget is l>alanced. Ellender predicted tough sailing for the bill. “This is no time to be raising salaries,” he said. "J, want us to balance the budget and get out of the red before we Start increasing salaries.” Sen. Wayne Morse I-Ore. said he did not know "the facts” in relation to the proposed judges pay hike and would not comment on this feature of the bill.

Quicker Method Os Polio Diagnosis Opens Possibility Os Finding Vaccine ■VWASEH.INGTdN U’P — Two scientists of the U. S. public health service have developed a ■quicker and cheaper method of diagnosing the most common type of polio. ■ . Health service officials said their work also opens the possibility of developing a "live” virus vaccine which might be effective for a year. The only immunizing agent now in use—gamma globulin—is effective only for five, weeks. A "dead” virus vaccind now being developed at the University of Pittsburgh is expected to be effective three to six months. Rsearchers t found a method of devqloqdng in mice the type of polio virus believed to be the cause of most cases of human polio.' Until now this type of virus could be developed only 'in monkeys and chimpanzee. The said this means that all three oif the known polio virus strains now cap be diagnosed . through the relatively simple mice ‘ tests. They said this will "permit the performance of rapid, reprpduceable and relatively inexpensive diagnostic tests.” line operated undisturbed for 15 years, from 1936 so 1951, before the operation was discovered.

REA Officials Ask Power From Projects Interior Assistant Said Sympathetic WASHINGTON UP — REA officials from four miawest states said today assistant secretary of interior Fred G. Aandahl was “sympathetic” to their request for contracts for power from projects now being built. Andrew Freeman, manager of the Minkota Power Cooperative, Grand Forks, N. D., told a reporter the group "presented our problems to Mr. Aandahl and he agreed to review them in developing policy that will prevail under his administration.” A "We suggested that to formulate a policy, an attempt be made to consult REA’s and municipalities in the various areas,” Freeman said. "Mr. Aandahl said he would consider this.” Also meeting with Aandahl were D. W. Delaurier and Gerald Olson, manager and president of the Central Electric Power Minot, N. D.; Edward Wolters and O. N. Gravganrd, manager and president of the Elk River Rural 1 Pow> er Cooperative, Elk River, Minn.| Henry Hope anji Ben Jaspers, manjager and president of the Cor£ Belt Electric Power Cooperative, Humbolt, la.; Alfred Sehmillen, president of the Northwest lowk Power Cooperative; Le Mars, la,| John Hyde, manager of the Southwest Power Cooperative, Creston, la.; Virgil Hanlon, manager of the East River Electric Power Coopeltive, Madison, S.

(Co»tlnn»d From Page Owe) It plain [that the penalty withip the )|Lmish church was severe, excommunication. Smith said 'Schwartz had beep given all the chances to enter his plea and ] the commencement of a new trial would be prejudicial to the cause of the state. Herman “Punk” Bowman, former sheriff, took the stand aftejr the recess Monday and testified that he had not advised Schwartz, not to get an attorney, but, to the! contrary, he told him. Bowmap said, to get an attorney. He told the court that Schwartz remarked to him, upon being advised to get a lawyer, that "my father would turn over* in his grave if I evet did that.” <Tn the defense’ argument, Harold Fiely, of Jenkins and Fiely ; attorneys for Schwartz, said the case they had was based on rule* 1-11 of a ruling of the state supreme court, and the fact, they alleged, that Schwartz was ignore ant of court procedure and didn’t understand whait was going on. Fiely challenged the efforts of Ed Bosse and Chris Muselmah, who attempted to get the circuitcourt here to permit Schwartz to; change his plea. (This was done three weeks after Schwartz went; to prison.) Said Fiely; “Why wasn’t an appeal taken from the, refusal of the court, and why didn’t the court grant permission Cor the change?” Os the 15 relatives who took the stand last week and testified to the conversations that the Amish said they overheard in which Bowman advised against an attorney: Smith said, the testimony was doubtful because they were all relatives, neighbors, and of the same faith. In a nutshell, the state held that (1) Getting a lawyer was against Schwartz* faith and he was willing to go to jail for it rather than risk excommunication; (2) He (Schwartz) voluntarily made his plea of guilty. The defense contended that: (1) Schwartz was held incommiThlcado; (2) was ignorant of the seriousness of the proceedings; (3) the court should have appointed an attorney over the objections bf Schwartz. Continued Judge Byrd in his decision granting the writ of error coram nobis: "In my opinion Judge Parrish was not acquainted with what the evidence disclosed had transpired before the defendant came into court for arraignment, otherwise I am sure he would have named an attorney over the objections of the defendant, at public expense, to represent the defendant during all stages of- the arraignment. “ . . . No public official should assume that he can speak for the court. Former sheriff Bowman has denied that he advised the defendant to proceed in the arraignment without the services of counsel, hut many persons have j testified to the contrary. In criminal proceedings all doubt should be rfesolved in favor of the defendant. If Mr. Bowman did give Mr. Schwartz advice through the ignorance of court procedure, and in view of.the fact that a number of elements necessary to fully advfee the defendant of his constitutional rights were lacking in the arraignment ... I feel obliged to grant the writ of error coram hobis.” Judge Byrd said during and after his opinion that he harbored a disfavor toward making the de-

cision because he whs, in effect, forced by the facts in the case to give protection tci the Amish people who do not [Tespect this government. After the reading, and while on the bench, Judge Byrd remarked: "1 want it understood that 1 respect all religions, but this is a little more than I can take.” < Judge Byra contacted the Daily Democrat this morning and -'gave a statement on why he granted the writ, and freedom to Schwartz for the time being, at least. "In granting a writ of error coram nobis to the defendant in this matter, the court recognizes the recent rulings of£ the (state) supreme court . . . which amounts to a reversal of the common understanding of . . §‘the bar of Indiana for many years and all courts ptior to the adoption of rule .1-11 by the supreme court . . in light bf the new the court has no alternative than to follow the rule of (he supreme court (and grapt thei writ.)” Rule 1-il of the supreme court states, in part, that Upon a pUa of guilty to a felony > , . a complete transcript of the questions and answers in the Case will be made and entered by the clerk of the court. This transcript, it goes on. ban. oh appeal.- be entered by defense in its , bill of exceptions. || | ( Third Person Dies , Os Auto Accident VALPARAISO, Ind.
