Rwbirosa made the announcement as called at the Hotel Pierre for a pre-marriage visit, with the Woolworth heiress who already has struck out four times in the romance department. Rubirosa walked into a lobby filled rf.ih reporters and photographers when he came to see Miss Hutton and stopped long, enough jonly to confirm the wedding. He said there would be a Tnore complete announcement latiMiss Hutton had been; unavailable for comment up to that time.. Her secretary had told reporters she was sleeping and would have no comment until this afternoon. Rubirosa. who has been married three times before himself, cleared up a situation that was beginning to get as complicated as a Caribbean revolution. Im Las Vegas, Nev., whence Rubirosa flew to his newest love, Zsa Zsa Gabor swore that the Dominican diplomat really loved her. I •\ To prove his lAve, she said, the diplomat socked her and gave her a black ftye when she rejected his proposal. Rubirosa, in an interview Tuesday \ night' with columnist Earl Wilson of the New York said he thought Miss Gabor was seeking publicity. He also paid high tribute to Miss \Hutton, who, he" said, “brought something new and different into my 1 life.’’’ “I will not be like her other husbands—>l will make her happy at last,” Rubirosa told Wilson. \ He added that iMiss Hutton would understand Miss Gabor's! Hollywood statement that he had asked her to marry him. “Barbara is such an intelligent girl, she understands human nature so well,” Rubirosa was quoted as saying. “She’ll know it's all ridiculous. She’s one of the most Intelligent women anybody ever met. 'Zsa Zsa is just trying to get publicity out of Barbara and riie. I don’t think it’s ladylike." The Dominican Republic gave its blessings to the marriage Tuesday night.

Hint Anti-Red Prisoners May Not Be Freed Speculation Grows Prisoners May Not Be Freed Jan. 23 PANMUNJOM, Korea UP — There was growing speculation today that the 22,000 anti-Cornrnunist war prisoners may not be released promptly Jan. 23 as previously indicated. An Allied source said that it still is United Nations command policy to call for the release of all nonrepatriated prisoners on that date. U. N. supreme commander Gen. John Hull has promised the POWs will be released at “12:01” Jan. 23. But all POWs are in the hands of an Indian custodial force commanded by Lt. Gen. K. S. Thimayya, and it still is not clear what steps this force will take next . month. , alreafiys nas told the U.N. command that he sees no objection to releasing the prisoners on the appbinted\ date unless the two sides agr.ee ito holding them longer. i Under the United Nations interpretation of the armistice agreement, the prisoners become civilians at midnight Jan. 22, and are eligible for release. The Communists, however, have objected to this planned move.' They claim they have not had a chance to talk to all the antl-Red prisoners during the 90-day explanation period which ended Dec. 23. They have demanded an 80day extension. The U. N. command has refused to consider such an extension,. Thus the prisoners are beingheld by the Indians for an additional 30 days between midnight Dec. 23 and midnight Jan. 22. This is in l lne with the armistice terms. Prisoners still may change their minds and return to their own sides during this period. Sweden and Switzerland among the five nations of the repatriation commission are expected to vote for the U. N. interpretation of the armistice terms while Poland and Czechoslovakia are expected to back the Communists. India then would have the deciding vote. An influential English language daily newspaper close to Chinese Nationalist inner circles on Formosa has reported India will side with the Reds. Pleads Innocent To Manslaughter Charge Charge Killing Os ° Illegitimate Child MARION, Ind., UP — Mrs. Gretchen Brunt Woodard, 20, pleaded innocent today to manslaughter charges in the Easter discovery \ of a newborn baby's body in a. dump. h* Mrs. Woodard, the daughter of a well known Marion department store owner, pleaded before Special Judge Henry S. Bailey of Peru after her attorney withdrew a motion t<T- quash a grand jury indictment on which she* was ariested. \ t Bailey set trial for Feb. .8 and continued 32,000 bond for the defendant, who has been free most, of the time since her arrest. The trial date was suggested by Mrs. Woodard’s attorney, John O. Campbell, and concurred by Bailey and prosecutor James McKnown. The grand jury which indicted Mrs; Woodard, accusing her of killing her illegitimate child last April before her marriage in, June, also Indicted young male friend of Mrs. Woodijrd for complicity and a physician for testifying Mrs. Woodard was not pregnant several weeks before the baby’s birth.

Discontinue Oxygen To Two-Headed Baby Baby's Condition Reported Improved INDIANAPOLIS UP —Doctors discontinued oxygen "temporarily” today to an 18-day-oid twoheaded boy born to the wife of an ordnance worker. A report from James Whitcomb Riley Memorial Hospital, where the baby with two heads and four arms has been under observation since its birth Dec. 12, said doctors wish to see what the effects of lack of oxygen will be. The baby’s condition, cautiously termed- “critical” most of the time since birth, is now “generally improved." t i ■ Hospital attaches said' they had received no word from the parents as to whether they plan to take the child home. The parents saw the baby and were quoted as saying they expect to take it home to jbin thj, family circle with their other children when the hospital releases it. Dr. J. W. Elbert! Petersburg, their family physician said, how-, ever, he doubted the family cbuld care for the child properly in their present house, which has no.electricity or plumbing. If the family takes the child home. Elbei_t said he will insist they move to town from the small house on a road he described as “impassable to anything but a jeep.” Trade in a Good Town — Decatu*-

_ ■ ■ „ __ r ' By: EDWARD HEIMAN We’re slightly miffed this season at not having received • a watch —a very special watch—for Christinas. This ticker. £hown at the Exposition of Chronometers ahff Timepieces, is Bo\thin that it quite handily sliced a juicy slab-of steak. It sold at the tidy figure Os >BOO, but we dare say it was worth every penny—providing the steak went with it, of course. ' fe Also on the subject of watches, we notice where a gentleman in Grand Rapids—a horologist, makes his living by’ putting watches out of whack. It seems that this requires gteat skill (fathers with small sons disagree) as the watch must be rendered tickless with no damage to the parts. The 5 watch is then sent to an apprentice horologist to be put back in working order. Sounds rather like a government job somehow.
