/ . North Korean Pilot Backs UN Charges Saysr Communists Violate Armistice SEOUL, Korea UP —The North Korean pilot who flew a Russianbuilt MIG-15 to freedom today' backed up a United Nations charge the Communists have vio- \ lated the armistice by building up their air power. The flier, LL Noh Keun/Buk, told newsmen he saw “some,, pro-peller-driven planes’* brought into North Korea after the truce was signed. The U. N. earlier today filed a “-eliaKge before the military armis- ' tice commission charging the , Reds violated the truce by inJ creasing their air power in North Korea after the shooting stopped. ■ Nob. who surrendered a MIG to the Allies last month, returned fromj Okinawa to Korea; where he was greeted by President Syngman Rhee. He was reunited with his Christian mother, whom he had not seen for-four years. Later, he held a press conference at sth air force headquar- . ters. He told reporters he had j been telling the U. S. air force on Okinawa all he knows about MIGs and the North Korean air force. "Just before the armistice, a number of planes were brought in by train,” Noh said. ’’After the armistice some propeller-driven planes were brought in by boat, did not see any MIGs brought in after the armistice.” Noh said he saw three new IL--288 at Ulju air field after the armistice. The IL2B is a new Russian jet bomber which recently appeared in North Korea. He< said the jet fighter he flew to Seoul from North Korea was an improved version of the MIG known as the “MIGISBTS.” Noh said the North Korean air force has three divisions of MIGs each including 50 planes. One division consists of MIGISs and the other two are made up of MIGIS- - BIS. Noh said he has not yet collected the SIOO,OOO reward offered for r bringing in the first MIG. He added, however, that he expects to get it ’’before long.” He plans to continue working with the U. S. air force for three to six months as a research consultant. Then he hopes to study in I the United States. Trade in a Good Town — Decatu; . i '■ . , -I'

Vice President And Wife In New Zealand Hawaiian Statehood Predicted By Nixon WELLINGTON, N. Z. UP — Vice President Richard M. Nixon arrived today on the second leg of his around - the - world ‘goodwill tour.” The youthful vice - president's special air force Constellation set down at Ohakea Airport at 10:45 a.m., two hours behind schedule, on a flight from Hawaii. Strong headwinds and a late take off from the refueling station of Canton Islapd in the South Pacific caused the delay. Before landing at Canton, Nixon played the role of ‘‘King Neptune” in a “shellback” initiation for four passengers, including his wife, Pat, as they crossed the equator. While in Hawaii, Nixon took up the statehood issue and predicted congress would vote for It in. the next session. “I recognise the risk in predicting statehood because nobody can predict with assurance what congress will do,” Nixon said. “However, I know it is part of the President’s program and, by taking the position that it is ‘out front,’ I believe it will have a beneficial effect in making the prediction come true.” / If you have something to sell or rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Add.

Says U. S. May Fall Behind In Armament Race Atomic Chief Says Russia May Produce Thousands Os Bombs INDIANAPOLIS. (UP) — Chairman W. Sterling Cole, R-N. Y., of the congressional atomic energy committee said today he fears that Russia has embarked on a program of producing “hundreds or even thousands” of hydrogen bombs. He said there is a real danger that the United States may fall behind in the atomic arms race, and called for a vastly increased U. S. H-bomb program “comparable in scale, dollars, resources, daring and speed to our entire atomic effort of World War II.” Speaking before the American Legion’s national conference of state commanders and adjutants, he said there is “ominous” evidence that H-bombs may be “far easier” to produce than scientists once thought. \ While he. did. not elaborate on this statement, it recalled recent unofficial reports that scientists have found away to produce Hbombs without using ordinary Abombs as a “trigger” to generate the enormous heat necessary for the hydrogen fusion reaction. "If our own hydrogen effort falters, as it must not and need not, the Soviets have it in their capacity to outstrip us — and outstrip us decisively—within a relatively short period of time,” Cole said. He said Russia has made unexpected speed in.its atomic program because Soviet leaders "assigned supreme and overriding priority to their project from the very outset.” He did not estimate the cost of the stepped up' H-bomb program lie proposed, but said it should be undertaken at once even if it means abandoning attempts to balance the federal budget. “It is appalling that I find myself forced to recommend this course of action,*’ Cole said. “I hate the weapons we have been forced to produce, and the still more devastating weapons to come. Yet, though It be against our will, we are now engaged in an atomic and hydrogen arihs race. We\ have no alternative blit to stay! ahead—commandingly and incontestably ahead.” He said that if it cost a lot of money to make hydrogen bombs, Americans might console themselves with the thought that the Soviets could manufacture them only in small quantities. “But I fear the real facts are the passage of enough time, which need not be great, and a research and productioin program of suf-

I fear that the Soviets may come to possess, not' five or ten of these weapons, but hundreds or even thousands.” Woman Murdered And Dismembered York's Police Seeking Murderer NEW YORK UP — Police assigned 50 detectives and hundreds of patrolmen today to search for a murderer ahd the missing head of the 33-year-old woman he stabbed and dismembered. Their chief suspect was a tai'll, fair-haired man who made a mysterious telephone call to police telling them to “look for a 1949 green Lincoln sedan.” t The torso and arms of the woman were found early Sunday stuffed in a suitcase that had been left standing on a sidewalk in the thickly - populated neighborhood near Columbia University and the Union Theological Seminary. Five houi\s later the legs of the victim were found wrapped in brown paper bags near a cluster of garbage cans a block away. An intensive door-to-door search of the neighborhood failed, to produce any trace of the head of the woman, a red-haired prostitute with a record of narcotics addition. Deputy chief inspector James Leggett, leading the investigation questioned three men and a blonde woman early today but refused to comment on their connection with the case. Lt was believed the search w-ns centering among thp woman’s drug-taking acquaintances. Police identified the victim as Florence Pearl Gibbons. also known as Kay Gibson, who had been arrested twice in Boston on narcotics charges and twice in New York for prostitution. She was released only a month ago from a federal drug rehabilitation center at Lexington, Ky. 'Detectives began checking all 1949 green Lincoln sedans they could find after a man stopped at a filling station 30 blocks from where the torso was found and telephoned police, “Do you want the person in the torso case? Look for the man In a 1949 green Lincoln sedan.” Attendants said the man, tall and biondish, had driven up in a ca*r of that description.

Policy Announced On Blood Exchange With Mayo Clinic “If you have attended the Mayo Clinic at Rochester, Minn, since the time the Fort Wayne blood center began, you are entitled to be paid any money you spent for a blood transfusion,” Mrs. Max Schafer, secretary of the American Red Cross local chapter, said today. Mrs. Schafer learned of the new plan at a meeting Friday night at Fort Wayne of the regional Red Cross officials. The policy was instituted recently, she said, find provides that the Mayo Clinic will withdraw from the Fort\ Wayne chapter, one pint of blood for each pint given at Mayo, to a patient from this area, the policy being retroactive to the start of Fort Wayne’s blood center. Mrs. Schafer was also told that blood coming from the Fort Wayne center, one of the 45 in the nation, is considered “tops” by the national Red Cross organization. The secretary said it was explained that this is probably so because of the thorough checkups given by doctors at blood donor programs. It w'as announced that despite the summer slump the Fort Wayne area donated 7,791 pints of blood as against a quota of 9,0000, considered better than average. TURNPIKE (Cewttnned From Page One) 22-year old blonde in whose home Wable had been rooming. Search of the room, which the girl’s parents forced Wable to give up last week, disclosed a pistol which ballistics tests later showed to be the one used in the turnpike Discovery of the pistol touched off a two-state search for the missing man. Numerous reports that he had been seen by residents of Western Pennsylvania and Ohio during the weekend turned out to be false. Ironically, Wable was a prisoner in the county jail at nearby Uniontown, Pa., a week after the third shooting. He was arrested Aug. 8 on charge of failing to return a rented automobile, but was released after his mother, Mrs. William Wable, of Ohiopyle, made' restitution. \ At the time of his arrest, Wable bragged of being the turnpike “phantom.” However, police dismissed his claims as those of a “screwball.” Later; after discovery of the watch and pistol, Charles Wlech, of Grindstone, Pa., a cellmate of Wable, also disclosed that his companion had ’talked of the turnpike slayings. Police said information disclosed by Welch could only have been known to the killer. 1 Trade in a good Town — Decatur

Specification Change To Cost Time, Money City Official Tells Os Costs For City A city hall official not willing to be quofed by name said today the change by the city council of sewer lateral specifications, effected at the last meeting, wou’d cost the city a sum ot money and possibly two weeks delay. The official referred to \the change by council to permit bidding on the laterals on an open basis rather than as was voted upon at a special meeting four weeks ago in a decision to exclude concrete for construction in favor of vitrified tile only. was pointed out that last month, before the specification changing activity,, the specifications of city enginee~ Ralph Roop were on an open basis, excluding no material. But at the insistence of the council, for the first time in the approximately 15 years Roop has been engineer, said the source, his specifications were questioned and changed by unanimous vote at the special meet* ing recently. The informed official said the engineer’s office, upon being officially informed four weeks ago that the council had changed his specifications to accept vitrified tile only in tiles under 25 inches, had 10 copies of each lateral mado for possible bidders, which made a total of 30 copies now on hand that must be junked. What has been done, said the party, is a double switch of specifications to their very beginning, the difference to be a two-week delay and some cash. \ The responsible source said l.e believed it^ e General , Electric would require servic- from vitrified tile in any case, as they, want a solid guarantee that highly acidulous material they dump into their sewers need utmost protection. The official also testified to some late information he had on hand describing the ' “coating” that is placed in concrete pipe tc make it acid resistant. He described it as a “pitch” coating that is placed around the inside of the tile and is at best good for 10 years, after which it must be retreated or, if acid has gone too far, removed and replaced altogether. Vitrified tile, on the hand he asserted, will remain acid-2 resistant for 50 years and is much more to be desired in duties that entail highly acid materials.

Three Americans Jailed In Shanghai Trio Captured By Reds On March 21 HONG KONG UP — The English - language China Mail , said today two American newsmtn and a merchant captain, captured by Chinese Communist between Shanghai and Macau, have been jailed in Shanghai. An informant who recently Shanghai told the newspaper that Richard Applegate, Don Dixon and Capt. Ben. Krasner were put in separate cells at the Nantao political prison. The informant thought it significant that the three men had been segregated in a political prison rather than an ordinary* jail. He said he did not know what charges had been brought against them. Crewmen of a Chinese gunboat captured the trio last March 21 while the Americans were cruising between the two China coast cities in Applegate's cutter. Applegate, a correspondent for the National Broadcasting Company, and Nixon, an International News Service reporter, were well know-n to! the Communists. As a United Press war correApplegate covered the early stages of the truce negotiations at Parimunjom, where he was seen often by Chinese Communist and North Korean officials and newsmen. In Washington, the U. S. state department said Saturday it will “not overlook any possibility” of obtaining the release of the trio and 31 other Americans who have been imprisoned by Red China. A 225-word'\ stagfement said the state department was “very seriously concerned” over “continued imprisonment, detention and maltreatment” of Americans by the Red China government. The department said the Peiping regime has not published the charges on which most of the Americans were held and said the government has ignored “numerous protests and notes” made on behalf Os the United States by Britain.

CRAIG ADMITS I Cow ltn tied From Pace One) tions of a Jaw which prohibits the granting of exclusive trade privileges. He will meet with brewery representatives soon to determine why the law hasn’t worked in Indiana. He said a manufacturer’s product should be available to all wholesalers and distributors wbo want it. He said enforcement of the law might affect “a lot” of property interests, and he will try to remove “political entanglements” without hurting businesses. The governor was "still weak” from, a two-week virus infection and said his doctor advised him it may take a month to regain his strength. t K Craig scheduled a full day of conferences with mental health and traffic safety leaders bn his return to the statehouse. He classified a mental health survey as one of his administration's biggest undertakings. As the result of a Survey at the village for epileptics at Neir Castle, he said, 146 of the 900 patients were returned to their homes. He called it “tetrifying" that “if a patient did happen to get .well in a state institution, nobody, would know it.’ During the next six. months, all mental patients and pupils in state schools will be re-examined. Craig said the survey of case histories will include a welfare department screening determine cases where relatives can take care of patients. Asked 4bout state treasurer John Peter’s recent suggestion to set a 50-million-dollar limit on the State surplus and refund all over that to taxpayers, C said there , is “no reason t,o have surplus money unexpended that is beyond the point of needs.” “Off-hand, 1 would say the limit is sufficient,” he said, “IW I am not prepared to discuss rebates. I don’t know what the administra-/ tive cost of handling such rebate/ would be.” Craig will suggest to highway safety leaders today that most state highway intersections be made four-way stops. He said present lights which flash caution on one highway and stop on the intersecting road should be replaced with four-way red lights or by stop-and-go red and green signals where traffic volume is heavy.
