building at Columbus, Ohio.
Six or seven men, he related
yesterday, dragged him from the
pulpit of a small negro church

and he was Splattered with blood
when he told his story in the As

displayed a doctor's certificate
describing the treatment he had
received after the beating.
He said his abductors asked
him: "Why don't you preach
in a white man's church?''

A man In the front seat, Pl
cardi added, told him between
curses: "Hell, we're gonna see
that you people of the north know
there is a dixie line."

land said he had received re
ports Plcardi was living with a
Negro family and that he ex
plained to him the day before,

New Government
Seen For Italy
; ROME,' Jan. 14 Italy's
President Lulgl Einaudi was ex
pected to call on Christian Demo
crat Premier Alcide de Gasperi
today to form a new government.
The president still had two po
litical Jeadert to 'interview In his
discussions with chiefs of all par
ties before designating a premier
to resolve' the current cabinet
"crisis." ' The crisis occurred
when de Gasperi's coalition cab
inet . resigned last , Thursday to
carry out a reorganization prom
ised last October. ., .
. The Christian Democrat lead
er, whose party controls both
houses of the Italian parliament,
was. considered certain to get the
president's mandate. .
Political circles said If DeGas
perl is chosen today, he will not
submit the names of his new cab
inet members before next Wed
nesday : or Thursday. The crisis
Is expected then to last until next
Saturday) with the cabinet pos
sibly being sworn in on Jan. 22.

possibility that Roseburg would
again 'be without power some
time Saturday if the power load
proved to be too heavy for trans
mission lines. Mountain States re
duced their load capacity to the
minimum in order to serve this
area by way of the Springfield-
Roseburg line. Even essential serv
ices may De cut oft locally, if
other lines serving Roseburg are
not repaired soon.
Copco officials said today they
hope to have the southern or Pros
pect line repaired by 3 p.m. today.
Several breaks were reported on
the Roseburg-Coos Bay line, and
although some repairs have been
made, including a break between
north and south Myrtle creeks and
one tower, the line is still not In
working order. Crews are now
searching for other breaks on the
Coos Bay line. Repair crews are
reported to be wading through
deep snow drifts in the Toketee
area in an attempt to locate
breaks in that line. Snow depth is
reported to be five feet at Toketee
camp. Although local radio con
tact Is lost, search crews in that
area are being aided to some ex
tent by radio cars, one of which
Is as far up the river as Dry
creek.
8un Shine
At least some relief from the
sub-freezing 27 degree minimum
noted here last night was evi
denced this morning by brilliant
sunshine which reflected off the
citv'si snow drifts. However, with
partial clearing ekles forecast for
today, came a iorecast lor aaai
tlonal cold weather this afternoon
and tonight, with the ther
mometer to skid below last night's
minimum. A few snow showers
are also expected during the after
noon and evening.
Slate police said this morning
they had no reports on snow depth
along highway 99, except to note
that traffic was blocked at Can
yonvllle, Sexton mountain, in the
Siskiyous and "at least eight or
ten places In northern California.
Road Partially Blooked
! At last reports, received early
this morning, slate police said
the highway north was partially
blocked at Rice hill and travel
there was termed "nearly Impossi
ble. They said tne nignway soutn
of Eugene was blocked by water.
A weather and highway report,
received by state police late last
night from Portland, had every
highway east and south blocked
out of that city. The night's mini
mum there was reported as 17
degrees.

Trading Of School
Leave Periods By
Vets Explained
Veterans administration ex-
plalnes provisions allowing vet
erans in colleges and universi
ties under the GI bill to trade
leave time, previously taken, for
additonall entitlement lor educa
tion.
They may do this, the VA ex
plained, by refunding subsistence
allowances paid to them hy VA
for periods of automatic end-of-
term leave. They tnen wm De
credited with an equivalent
amount of GI vlll entitlement.
By making the refunds, the VA
said, a number of veterans near-
lng the end of their entitlement
may be able to complete a term,
quarter or semester at govern
ment expense. . , .
The leave for which they may
refund subsistence is only that
given, without their specifically
having asked for it, at the end
of the school year or other per
iod of enrollment. It does not in
clude time off for holidays, wi th
in-term vacations, time on De?
tween terms or semesters and the
like. Those periods are consid
ered a part of the regular school
year.
The leave, the VA emphasized,
must have been granted auto
matically. If a veteran was given
a choice in the matter, he gen
erally is not entitled to the priV'
ilege of refunding subsistence for
added entitlement.
One Exception Cited
There Is one exception. If he
elected to take his end-of-school
leave and did not cash his sub
sistence check covering that per
iod, he may turn In his check
and have the entitlement charge
removed. .
The VA regulations allow a
full-time college student 15 days
leave at the end of each enroll
ment period, unless he states in
advance he does not want it.
During that period, he receives
his usual subsistence allowance.
Each 15-day extenselon, of course,
decreases his entitlement Dy that
much. -
The regulations also permit a
veteran student to finish his
semester under the GI bill if his
entitlement runs out after more
than half the semester is over.
If entitlemen expires before the
nauway marK, trie veteran may
not complete at government ex
pense.
By refunding subsistence for
leave granted automatically, a
veteran might possibly use the
15 days' extra entitlement to car
ry him past the mid-point and
therefore complete his semester
under the GI bill.
n Another Category
VA staled that a veteran mav
refund subsistence for only an
entire 15-day period and not a
fraction of that period.
Anotner, and smaller, catetrorv
of veterans also may be entitled
to exenange subsistence allow
ances for added training time,
the VA said. This category in
cludes those who quit their GI
bill courses during the month
and received subsistence even
thouvh they were not In train
ingto the end of the month.
inese veterans mav refund sub
sistence allowances, as well as
tuition paid to the school, for the
period they were not in train
ing, in order to conserve those
days of entitlement.
No forms are available for the
purpose of refunding subsistence
allowances to VA. Veterans who
want further Information should
write to the appropriate VA re
gional office. They should not
send any money until asked to
ao so oy tne va.

German-Soviet
Pact Denied
FRANKFURT, Germany, Jan.
14 UP) An east German fov
eign ministry spokesman de
scribed today as. "complete fa
brication" a newspaper report
that the Russians have signed a
pact with east Germany guaran
teeing its military defense.
The non-Communist Ruhr Na
chrichten of Dortmund publish
ed a story saying that a three
year mutual friendship and as
sistance pact was signed in Mos
cow last Dec. 17 by east German
Foreign Minister George Dertin
ger and Andri Vishinsky, Soviet
foreign minister.
In Berlin Max Keilson, press
chief of the east German foreign
ministry, said the story "is a
complete fabrication. It is with
out any basis whatsoever. That
Is all I have to say."
Quoting its Berlin correspon
dent In the Soviet zone, the news
paper said formal declaration of
the agreement is to be made by
east Cerman President Wilhelm
Pieck on the day the last Ger
man war prisoner is released
from Russian prisons. There re
lease reportedly is expected Jan.
18 or 20.
The report said the pact pro
vides a guarantee by Russia to
defend the political integrity of
east Germany, including military
protection, so long as the east
German government has no arm
ed forces of its own.
U.N. Ignores
Soviet Action
LAKE SUCCESS, Jan. 14. UP)
The United Nations security
council plans to go ahead with
normal work despite the latest
Soviet walkout.
The ten remaining nations on
the council intend to ignore Rus
sia's challenge that council ac
tions are not legal as long as Na
tionalist China holds its big
power seat in the 11-nation secur
ity organ.
The Russians yesterday lost
their fight to unseat Chinese Na
tionalist delegate T. F. Tsiang. So
viet representative Jakob Malik
quit the council chamber in his
second walkout of the week.
Russia, India and Yugoslavia
who have recognized the Chinese
Communist government voted
to oust the Nationalists here.
Britain and Norway, who also
have recognized the Chinese Reds,
abstained. They contended explu
sion would be premature until a
majority of the 59 United Nations
switched recognition from the
Nationalists to the Communists.
Voting against the Soviet de
mand were the United States,
France, China, Cuba, Ecuador and
Egypt. Seven affirmative votes
were needed to kick out the Na
tionalists. Malik's action and statements
were attacked by remaining mem
bers. Then, over Yugoslavia's ob
jection, the cou n c 1 1 "restored
Tsiang to the chairmanship he
holds for January.

Connally retorted he couldn't

added; "If I were president and

Senator Morse (R-Ore) took is

as a sanctuary in which officers

Morse said the civilian head of

policy.
He argued that the civilian mil

officer's private views just be
