The guard said’’ he was over- 1 powered about 2:30 EST and locked in a basemerit room. The three convicts ripped the telephone from the wall to prevent him from raising an alarm and then went to the barber shop, where the razors were tauen. The three then apparently scaled the fence surrounding the farm. The guard remained locked up for about 20 minutes before he was able to attract the attention of another prison official. The fugitives were dressed in regular prison garbEdgell had been an inmate since August, 1959. Leslie was sentenced in November, 1960.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, INDIANA

Minnesota Solon Defends Record

WASHINGTON (UPD — The stoewy, dark-haired man raised his right hand and said: “H. Carl Andersen never did anything wrong in connection with the Estes affair. My conscience is clear, so help me God.” With that, the 65-year-oki Minnesota Republican congressman left the well of the House Wednesday amid applause from about 200 of his colleagues. A number of congressmen, heeding his plea during an emotional 38-minute speech to "come say hello, come shake my hand.” did just that. Andersen, a veteran of 23 years in Congress, took the House floor under a “question of personal privilege,” which takes precedence over all business except a motion to adjourn. The rarely used procedure allows a member one hour to defend himself against attacks on his rights, rep- > utation and conduct. Says Smeared by Pearson The Minnesotan said he had been smeared by columnist Drew Pearson and, since he revealed a business transection with indicted Texas farm tycoon Billie Sol Estes, shunned by some of his colleagues including Republican leaders. He said Pearson lied about Mm in an article about the Estes case ■ and a 1957 controversy over a : veterans bill. He called the columnist a “polecat,” a "skunk” : and a “liar,” and then dipped into an 18-page compilation of attacks on Pearson by others to extract more epithets. Andersen said Pearson’s article falsely implied that he opposed a veterans bill in order to protect a monetary interest in his brother’s estate. Waving a sheaf of papers and speaking in a voice that sometimes appeared near breaking, Andersen called for expulsion at ~ 'Pearton trom the congressional Congressional Aide Fired For News Leak ' WASHINGTON (UPD — A Re- ■ publican aide in the House in- : vestigation of the Billie Sol Estes , case has been fired for leaking - confidential information to news- . papermen, it was learned today. A committee source told United Press International the dismissal notice was given to Robert Manuel, Republican minority counsel to the subcommittee The group is headed by Rep. L. H. Fountain, D-N. C. Manuel told UPI he gave the i New York Herald Tribune an • Agriculture Department investigation report on Estes that was s j stamped confidential. li Manuel said his position on the ( ! committee tfliil was undecided t! but that he “guessed” he would ! be fired. Another source said if the majority stuck by its decision to (oust Manuel, there was a possibility the Republicans might walk out of the hearings. As for the Estes report, Manuel said he could see no reason i for hte administration to refuse to turn it over to Texas Atty ■ Gen. Will Wilson and a Texas . grand jury. . "I leaked it,” Manuel said, j Political friction among the L committee members investigating I Estes’ farm operations has flared L into the open as the committee i caelldas a witness Dr. James T. i Ralph, an Agriculture Department ’ official who was fired for letting Estes pay for his long distance ’ calls. ) DESCRIBES ’ (Continued from Page One) • the sale of these items will be us* ' ed for youth work in the Decatur ■ area.

PROSECUTOR (Continued from Page troe) for comment on Solmos’ story. The disclosures came after the Northwest Indiana Crime Commission filed a petition for .disbarI ment with the Indiana Supreme Court against former Lake County Prosecutor Metro Holovachka. The court’s disciplinary commission now is reviewing the case. Holovachka was convicted by a federal jury on income tax evasion charges and has appealedHolovachka said Wednesday he does not know Nusbaum or Solmos and had no contact with them, and knows nothing of the case. “This is simply a further persecution of me, something that I .have MM. W-_ proximately 3% years,” Holovachka said/' * ”

press galleries. Andersen told the House some weeks ago that he sold Estes $4,600 worth of stoctt in a familyowned coal mine, and that he wks awaiting the Texan’s instructions on where to send the certificates. Got No Favors At that time and again Wednesday, Andersen denied any wrongdoing and said Estes neither asked nor got favors from him as a member of Congress. The Minnesotan is ranking Republican member of a House appropriations subcommittee with jurisdiction over agriculture spending. Near the end of the speech, he told the members “some of you have been shying away from me” since his name was linked with Estes. He singled out House GOP Leader Charles A. Halleck, Ind., Rep. William E. Miller, N.U., who is national Republican party chairman, and Rep. Ben F. Jensen, lowa, another veteran Republican Appropriations Committee member. n "Come and say hello," Andersen implored. “Come shake my hand.” Jensen, who was present, denied he was shunning Andersen. "You’re imagining things," he said in a voice almost as emotional as Andersen’s. Jensen said he held no man in high regard than Andersen. Andersen apologized to Jensen. Halleck, who was not present during the entire speech, told a reporter later he was not aware of having been cool to Andersen. "In fact I talked to him for an hour yesterday," Halleck said.
