Sen. Kefauver Not Candidate In 1956 - Tennessee Senator Denies Candidacy CLEVELAND (INS) —U. S. Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennessee says he is net a candidate for the 1956 Democratic presidential nomination and has no plans for becoming one. Kefauver, an unsuccessful candidate for the 1952 nomination, said "I really have no intention other than to be a good senator.” The southern lawmaker was the featured speaker at a dinner honoring Congressman Charles A. Vanik in Cleveland Sunday night, but was questioned on his ponnal aspirations by newsmen prior to a speech at the banquet. Kefauver vigorously denied that he was in Cleveland to “lineup” delegates for the 1956 Democratic convention, and help head off a grass-roots movement to put Ohio Gov. Frank J. Lausche on the national In -hrs talk,-Kefauver raid Ute ’United ‘States position in Asia .“generally is deteriorating steadily and the Communists are gaining strength through improved tactics." Kefauver said if this trend continues “the bulk of Free Asia may follow Red China behind the Iron Curtain within the matter of a decade or so.” New Zealand became a British colony in 1840. •

Man, Woman Brainwashed By Reds And Freed Freed Americans Turned To Parrots By Chinese Reds HONG KONG (INS) —A plump woman school teacher and a former Harvard pre-med student appeared today to be the most thoroughly brain-scrubbed Americans ever released from Red Chinese prisons. Both Mrs. Adele Austin Rickett, 36. and Dr. Malcolm Bersohn, 29, mechanically recited their quilt and Communist China’s righteousness on their arrival in Hong "Kong. ~ ■; A state department official in Washington said privately that the two Americans had “been turned into parrots by their Red captors” and termed their case “tragic.” Bersohn, dressed in tattered blue dungarees, faded gray shirt and lace-less black shoes declared: “All those inside Chinese jails are guilty of their crimes. If the government did not have sufficient evidence, they would never arrest anyone.” Short, plump and bespectacled Mrs. Rickett said her husband, Walter Allyn Rickett, 33, of Seattle, Wash., still is imprisoned in Red China and “fully deserved to serve the full time." (Both claimed .they had gained weight during three and a: half years in Red jails-although both showed signs of strain. Bersohn, the son of Mrs. Jessie Bersohn, of New York City, was highly nervous. Mrs. Rickett, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harold W. Austin, of Yonkers, N. Y., looked pale and wore a forced smile. Both rattled off spy "confessions.” Mrs. Rickett told of seeirig an American friend, Harriet Mills, a former Fulbright scholar, in the same prison where she had been held until the end of last week. Bersohn said he was in the same jail with the Rev. Harold Rigney of Chicago, former rector of the Catholic Fujen university in Peiping. He claimed the priest-who has been in prison since 1951 - was in “good health and is being treated kindly.”
