Polish Red Leader Assails Opponents Drastic Clean-out Os Party Is Urged WARSAW (UP) — Polish Communist Party leader Wladyslaw Gomulka bitterly attacked his Stalinist and revisionist opponents in a speech released today. He recommended a drastic clean-out of party ranks of both the extreme left and the extreme right. . .... ‘The unity of action of our party 1 has been considerably impaired," he said. "It is high time to put an < end to this.” i Gomulka's speech was made 1 Thursday to the Central Commit- 1 tee of the Polish .Workers’ Party, but was not released until today. > He said the political bureau had < recommended a postponement of 1 the party congress scheduled for ( December because the expected 1 "marked improvement" in party ' unity “did not happen. ’ < "The unity of action of our party has been considerably im- 1 paired, owing to which the party < is not able to fulfil properly its ! leadership functions in the con- ’ struction of socialism in Poland," 1 he said. ! Gomulka denounced lack of dis- < eipLine and increased opportunism which has crept imo party ! ranks, charging "this ideological i confusion, prevalent among a con- i siderable number of party mem- ] bers, was brought into the party by revisionists and liquidators of various sorts." “There is no doubt,” he said, ! "that dogmatism and sectarian- ' ism is the breeding ground which l favored and always favors the im- ! rxis growth of revisionism." references to dogmatism and sectarianism appeared to be di- i reeled to Poland's Stalinists. Although Gomulka did not use the term ‘Stalinists" it was ob- I Vious they were the main target for his attack. They include the old guard crov.d of so-called dog- 1 matists who have been bitterly opposing the reforms started since ! he returned to party leadership in i October, 1956. Gomulka said two groups were 1 at work within the party, “sabo- ' taging" the decisions of its leaders. ' He warned that the revisionist wing “must be severed from the party." He added that the party “must be homogeneous." 1 1 Writes Suicide. Note And Jumps To Death ATTICA (UP) -Charles V.

Russia, Syria Boost Barrage Os Propaganda Moscow Renews Its Warlike Charges On U.S. And Turkey By WALTER LOGAN United Press Staff Correspondent Moscow renewed its warlike charges against the United States and Turkey today and said the Middle East crisis is "becoming more dangerous." Both the Soviet Union and Syria increased their propaganda barrage as the General Assembly of the United Nations prepared to resume debate on the Turko-Syrian crisis after a three day recess. Debate was set to begin at 3 p.m. e.d.t The Syrian Foreign Ministry in Damascus cabled the Syrian U.N. delegation and Foreign Ministet SaJah Bitar charging that foui Turkish planes flew over Syrian territorial waters' of Latakia and said another passed over the northeastern border sector. Recently Syria accused the U.S. Sixth Fleet of sending planes almost daily over Syria. Both accusations were, expected to be repeated in the U.N. debate. Accuses U.S. of Pressure Moscow and Damascus also teamed up to accuse the United States and Turkey of pressuring the General Assembly to vote to postpone again the debate on Syria’s protest against Turkish “provocations." Damascus Radio said the United States and Turkey were using the "rumored mediation” between Turkey and Syria in an attempt to postpone U.N. discussion. The Communist Party, organ Pravda took a pessimistic view of the Mideast situation and then said Washington was trying to take the Syrian question off the U.N. agenda. It accused Turkey of trying to restore the Ottoman Empire and crlied for vigilance to “wrest from the aggressors hands the torch which is ready to light the fire of war." Seeks Saud Withdrawal In Cairo the semi-official Egyptian Middle Blast News Agency reported that Syrian President Shukri El Kuwatly had called on King Saud ot Saudi Arabia to withdraw his offer to mediate. There were signs in the United Nations that some Arab countries were waging Ih their support for Syria because of its refusal to let King Saud try to mediate. A spokesman said they would present a resolution asking for a U.N. investigating commission. The West indicated it would ask that Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold head such a mission but the Syrian delegation was cool to the idea. Syrian Ambassador Farid Zeineddine said "no useful purpose” would be served by such a mission. ’ EISENHOWER AND (Continued from Page On el The President has informed Macmillan he will seek congressional modifications of the stiff secrecy terms of the 1946 Atomic Energy Act to permit closer sharing with Britain.

Arrest Pair After Wild Bank Robbery Two Are Arrested In Florida Robbery TAMPA, Fla. (UP) — A pair of swashbuckling bandits used two airplanes, two automobiles and a hostage to carry out a wild bank robbery scheme Thursday before being captured four hours later. Police identified the bandits as Donald J. (Bugs) Thompson. 32, a stunt pilot and former Air Force flyer, and Irvine U. Suits. 26, an airplane broker. Every law enforcement agency in Florida was alerted after the pair captured constable Harry Godwin, robbed the First State Bank in Fort Meade of $26,645, made a shooting exit and fled in a stolen airplane to bury their loot. Authorities said Thompson and Suits flew in their own plane from their home airfield in Tampa to a small airport at Winter Haven, several miles inland. There, they stole a plane, flew to Fort Meade and landed in a pasture, police said. When Godwin tried to arrest them for drunkenness. Thompson and Suits overpowered him, beat him up and used his car to drive to the bank. After the robbery, the pair flew back to Winter Haven, picked up their own plane and apparently went somewhere to hide the cash. Then they returned to Tampa. Violence In Milk Strike In Michigan Most Os Detroit's Milk Is Delivered DETROIT (UP) — A shot was fired into a milk truck Thursday night to climax a violent first day in Michigan’s milk strike but marketing experts said today “98 per cent” of Detroit’s milk supply was delivered. Despite the failure of the strike to shut off the milk supply in the first day, leaders of the striking Dairy Farmers Cooperative Assn. (DFC) predicted “the strike is gathering momentum.” Isaac Kelly, 26, Owosso, told state police he was fired on while he was driving a pickup truck to deliver milk to the Detroit area. Kelly said a par tried .unsuccessfully to force him off the road near Novi as he was heading east toward Detroit. Moments later a second car overtook ESi L uck and someone fired a shotgun at him; The blast shattered the right headlight of the truck and damaged the hood and grille, but Kelly was not injured. The strike narrowed down to a battle between the DFC and the larger Michigan Milk Producers Assn. (MMPA), with pitched battles between farmers for the two groups at Brighton and Imlay City Thursday, and MMPA legal action against strikers. The MMPA obtained a temporary injunction — enforceable through the entire state—banning the use of force or threats or actions by pickets which would interfere with movement of milk. The MMPA then announced it was filing a civil court suit for property damages against the eight farmers arrested Thursday for allegedly stopping a milk truck near Elsie, roughing up the driver and dumping some 5,000 gallons of milk from the truck. The MMPA said the suit might total $20,000. The eight farmers are charged with malicious property destruction and assault and battery. In view of the injunction, DFC strike chairman Homer Martin said strikers would “win in the cowbarns, not the picket lines" and send roving teams to farms to win more farmers over to withholding milk. DFC headquarters reported today carloads of farmers were on this new job. The DFC wants the price for Class I drinking milk boosted from $5 per hundredweight to $6. The $5 price was negotiated by. the MMPA, longtime marketing cooperative for the farmers. Want Ad— they bring results.

None of the five defence lawyers would say which, if any, of the defendants would take the witness stand when defense testimony begins Monday. 4^— But David Lewis, attorney for Teverbaugh, said there was “still no reason” why his client should not testify in his own behalf. When the trial opened three weeks ago, Lewis said he would “expect” that Teverbaugh will be a witness.
