old Hancock County farmer.

Noah H Fry died in Indianapolis Methodist Hospital today of head injuries inflicted by two assailants with a flat iron Saturday night in a futile attempt to make him reveal where he kept his hidden money.” Mr. Fry, suffering from arthritis, could walk only with the jaid of crutches. Hancock County Sheriff Joe Fisk said the slugging may have resulted from an ad Mr. Fry ran in the local paper offering cattle for sale. The ad in the local paper adlvertised two cows for sale. However, persons who called the phone number listed in the ad were told by Mr. Fry that he had four milk cows and two calves for sale. He was asking $1000 for the six animals. Sheriff Fisk said that it was known in the community that Mr. Fry wanted to sell the animals Saturday morning as he

ly what was meant by the

phrasing.

But he said it did not mean he supported a coalition. He said he never believed the arrangement possible although Mr. Acheson, putting it “out of context” implied he did. Gen. Wedemeyer told the committee he would have recommended “affirmative action” dairected “against the Soviet.” “Words are not enough” he said. “We have to take action.” But this phase of the testimony did not make it clear whether he meant he would attack the Soviet Union proper or what. Gen. Wedemeyer made his statement in reply to a question by Sen. Styles Bridges (R. N. H.) on what he would have recommended in Korea. Felt Stymied Gen. Wedemeyer, who returned from China to become Deputy Chief of Staff for the Army, testified that he had asked for his present assignment in San Francisco because he felt “frustrated” in Washington when his policy recommendations were not accepted. He said he did not mean that his suggestions were always rejected and added:

“But with developing events in|

the world, I found that the suggestions I made were sound and

in the interest of America. And]

I felt frustrated. “I knew that I could go out to the 6th Army, which I have done,

and carry out orders, and I have] done that for the past two years

to the best of my ability. : “The _ policies, the plans for

American action in the West and in the East, I did not agree with.” |

Of Korea, Gen. Wedemeyer said he thinks the “primary purpose” of the Russians is to get the United States to spend its manhood on “powder kegs” on the Soviet borders. Plans to Wreck U. 8S. If they can, he said, the Russians will “wreck” the United States, psychologically and economically. “If, as the newspapers indicate, we effect a truce very shortly with Soviet Russia or with their at the 38th Parallel, that will be tantamount to a defeat for us psychologically,” he declared. Explaining his opposition to use

of ground troops in Korea, Gen.

Wedemeyer said: “There are lots of potential
