Reject Rehearing Appeal For Preble INDIANAPOLIS 'UPD — The Indiana Supreme Court today re- ' jected a petition by Marvin I Preble, an Austin housemover convicted in the state highway scandals, for a rehearing of his appeal. Preble was convicted and seni fenced in connection with the filing of a claim for moving a house from the Madison Ave. Expressway right of way of Indianapolis. The state contended the house never was moved but that Preble collected for the job. Justice Norman F. Arterburn rejected the petition for a rehearing filed by Preble Jan. 11, about three weeks after the high court denied the appeal which Preble had sought last Aug. 4. Arterburn said it appeared Preble's appeal possibilities had run their course. The court clerk immediately mailed a copy of the rejection to Marion County Judge Norman Brennan. The action may mean that Preble will become the first of six persons convicted in. the highway scandal trials to go to prison. Preble was convicted on one charge of perjuty and another of falsely obtaining. $8,850 from the state for work not performed. He received a 1-10 year term on the perjury charge. The false claim charge drew a 2-14 year term but it was suspended. Preble has been free in $5,000 bond. Publish Testimony On Red Subjugation WASHINGTON (UPD — The House Committee on Un-American Activities has published testimony on how Communist forces under Nikita Khrushchev imposed “horror filled subjugation” on the people of Slovakia and Albania. The witnesses at closed hearings were Joseph Pauco, Middletown, Pa., secretary-general of the Slovak National Council Abroad: j Father Theodoric Joseph Zubek, Clifton, N.J., a Franciscan priest who fled Communist persecution in Slovakia; Nuci Kotta, New York City, an Albanian exile who is deputy secretary general of the Assembly of Captive European Nations; and Arshi Pipa, New York City, who spent 10 years in prisons and slave labor camps in Albania. The testimony was published Tuesday as part five of a committee series entitled “The Crimes of Khrushchev.” According to the testimony, Khrushchev directed the Communist forces which in 1945 overran Slovakia, once an independent nation but now part of Communist Czechoslovakia. , In Albania, the witnesses said,! collectivization “started in earnest” when Khrushchev became Soviet premier.

Maurice Challe. the military commander, in an effort to prevent an open break between France and Algeria. , . The state-owned radio Algiers trumpeted that the chin-high cobble stone barricade* thrown up in the streets of major Algerian citie* “no longer *eparate — they unite. They are a connecting link i between civilian*, militiamen and the armed forces “ Paratroop* Sarreand Barricade* Colonels in command of paratroops surrounding the street barricades in the heart of Algiers were reported to have served notice they will not attack the insurgents unless they are fired on first.

Accusation By Sen. Symington WASHINGTON <UPD — Sen Stuart Symington <D-Mo.) charged today that the administration has “juggled" its intelligence books on Soviet missile strength “so the budget books may be balanced." Symington, a frequent critic of administration defense policies, made the statement in a speech prepared for delivery in the Senate. The senator was Air Force secretary under former President Tumen. An unavowed candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, Symington said he understood his accusation would be regarded as “politically motivated." But he said he preferred that risk to the one involved in what he called an administration’s “policy of misinformation." “I charge this administratiin with using intelligence information in such a manner that the American people have been given an inaccurate picture of what is necessary for our national defense,” Symington said. Symington referred to the optimistic picture of America’s defense potentialities given to congressional committees recently by Defense Secretary Thomas S. Gates Jr. Gates based his appraisal, in part, on new intelligence estimates of Russian strenth. Symington said that the administration has “proceeded to change the ground rules for evaluating the facts.” Central Intelligence Agency Director A|len W. Dulles told a New York audience Tuesday night that there is nothing new in the method being used to prepare estimates of Soviet missile strength. Dulles said new information has made it possible to make more accurate predictions of what Russia probably is doing in the missile field. Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson and other Democrats have charged that the new estimates, disclosed by Defense Secretary Thomas S. Gates Jr. were “too rosy” and were based on a “dangerously risky” system of calculating Russia’s mis-sile-building intentions. At his news conference Tuesday, President Eisenhower backed up Gates’ revised appraisal of the
