Frank Carlson (R-Kan.) •a hri was Mr. Eisenhower’s political adviser in his 1952 campaign, said flatly: “I think the country is going to Insist that he be available and that, faced with that kind of demand, he will be.” Carlson is among those who also think the President will name Vice President Richard M. Nixon as his choice for a 1956 running mate. The President paid warm tribute to Nixon during his Tuesday news conference. He said a presidential nominee should “Immediately step aside” if his party refused to give him an “acceptable'' running mate. Sen. John W.

Prisoner's Parents Return Son's Medal Say Purple Heart No Honor To Son “ PITTSBURGH (INS) t- The parents of a Fayette county Pennsylvania officer reportedly taken captive by the Reds in Korea said they are returning their son’s purple heart medal since it “does not hon or" hint. Ottley R. Coulter and his wife. Ethel of LeMont Furnace, enclosed a copy of a message to President Eisenhower in a letter sent to International News Service in Pittsburgh. Their message to the President said that awarding a purple heart to air force Lieut. John R. Coulter while he is still unaccounted for in Korea "is not in accordance with the original purpose of the medal.” The couple said they returned the medal on Memorial Day. which they described as a “day of shame for the abandonment or betrayal of those killed or still captive in Korea.” Indianapolis Man Sentenced To Life INDIANAPOLIS ()NS) —A 32-year-old Indianapolis man. who tried to kill himself after slaying bis alleged love rival, was senTenceff tb life imprisonment after he recovered from his wounds.

They feel that if the Reds are sincere in attempting to reduce east-west tension—and this now seems to be the case — the best thing they could do would be to free the remaining prisoners. The government is attempting to make it as easy as possible for the Communists to follow that course. The state department was purposely mild in its reaction to Monday’s announcement that the four fliers were to be released. It called this a “welcome” move but alsho pointed out that others igere still being held. COURT BATTLES (Continued from Page One) same schools. Accepting the challenge.

Probers Call In Officer To Give Testimony Senate Committee Resumes Probe OF’* Contract 'Payoffs* WASHINGTON UNS) —. Senators investigating alleged graft in military uniform contracts chlled a Shelby, O. air force officer today to answer charges that he took 150.000 in bribes from a Chicago garment maker. Chairman John L. McClellan (D-Ark.) said the officer, Capt. Raymond Wool, would be among the first witnesses as the senate investigations subcommittee resumes its probe of “payoffs" to federal, workers by clothing men. New Ydrk garment manufacturer Leon M. Levy accused Wool of taking the money from Harry Lev of Chicago who was awarded a $2 million contract for nearly seven million sailor hats in 1953. Levy, who complained he was squeezed out of the deal, charged that Wool helped Lev to get the contracts while the captain was a contracts officer for the armed services textile and apparel procurement agency (ASTAPA) in New York. Levy said Wool used the money to spend on an actress friend he was seeing in New York while setting up a new home for his wife and expected baby. The charges against Wool were contained in a confidential diary Levy kept to record the activities of his business associate, Marvin Rubin, a procurer of government contracts for apparel firms. Levy suffered a heart attack last week and was unable to continue his testimony. But the investigations subcommittee used the diary, written in Arabic, to probe deeper into what McClellan has termed "a nest of small grafters.” Rubin, already threatened with perjury action, has repeatedly denied that he made any payoffs to military officials working on clothing contracts in which he was interested.. But witnesses have told the subcommittee that Rubin gave cash and gifts ranging from a deep freezer and lingerie to whiskey and plane trips to officials with whom he had contact. y . < 'J o> If you nave someemng to sen or -ooms for rent, cry a Ueino*-ai Want Ad.

' GREAT BRITAIN (Continued from Page One) tering and leaving the city during rush hours caused some monstrous traffic tangles. Britain has more cars than she ever has had, but has built virtually no new roads since World War 11. But If the strike continues, there may be no jobs for many commuters to go to. A spokesman for the Federation of British Industries forecast “complete paralysis” if the strike lasts another week. Currently, the walkout was causing a “creeping paralysis.” Widespread layoffs among 100.000 steel workers were inevitable within 48 hours. Many large industrial firms were continuing only on a day to day basis as the supply pipeline began ta dry up. The crisis was complicated by a strike of some 17,000 dock workers now in its tenth day. The emergency regulations will be presented to the new parliament when it meets next Tuesday to organize.
