MIAMI, Fla. (m The Amer

This means business. Watch it.
Suppose the Republic of Panama

What would we do?
Why, we'd send more troops

doing in the case of Suez.
WHY?
The answer is simple. We have
an Atlantic coast and a Pacific

Thomas Gibbons was
holding without charge Mrs. Len
nander'8 husband, Curtis, 33, who,
the sheriff said, freely admitted
that he whipped the two women
during a sect meeting Monday
night.
Sect members pointed to the
words of Proverbs (20:30) in an
effort to explain the whippings,
The passage says, "The biueness
of a wound cleanseth away evil
and so do stripes the inward parts
ot tne oelly."
"I know I am absolutely guilty;
I was in a frenzy; I beat them
down," the sheriff quoted Lennan
der as saying. "Whipping is needed
for wrongdoing and almost a 1
ways a person who gets it admits
it. It drives out the devil."
Dr. A. M. Lundholm, deputy cor
oner, said an autopsy showed all
of Mrs. Halvorson's right ribs were
broken as well as one on the left
side, and her breastbone. He said
her body was covered with welts
and blood clots.
Gibbons said Lennander used a
3-foot whip to beat his wife and
Mrs. Halvorson at the Monday
night meeting at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Pat Doyle in suburban
Lauderdale. About a dozen mem
bers of the cult were present. Mrs.
Doyle, a daughter of the dead
woman, is held as a material wit
ness. Gibbons said he asked Mrs.
Doyle, "How could you stancTTjy
and see your mother beaten to
death; didn't you do anything
about it?" He said she replied:
"No, why should I?"
Gibbons said that after Mrs. Hal
vorson ceased to move, Doyle
stopped Lennander from beatine
her further. Doyle then obtained a
length of hose from the basement
and whipped Lennander, whose
body is also covered with welts. I

V. J. Gosso Faces
Jail Escape
Try May Lead
To Life Term
Powell. Pal, Receives
24-Year Rap;McGaughey,
Aide, Given Extra Year
Penitentiary sentences ranging
from one to 24 years were imposed
Wednesday on three men who ad
mitted taking part m an at
tempted escape from the county
jail Oct. 10.
In addition an habitual criminal
charge was filed today against Ver
non John Gosso, 24, one of the
trio. In circuit court this morning
Gosso was served notice that the
habitual criminal charge had
been filed, and that at the end of
a 30-day period the charge will be
formally read to him.
The habitual criminal rap can
be imposed after three felony con
victions. Gosso has a record of
five. However, the law specifies
that 30 days must elapse between
the filing of such a charge and
reading of the charge to the ac
cused. Gosso, a sturdy former profes
sional wrestler, received two other
sentences Wednesday afternoon.
Judge Wimberly gave him a 12
year sentence on a charge of as
sault while attempting to escape
and another of nine years on the
robbery charge that put him in
the county jail in the first place.
The youth took it all calmly with
no outward signs of emotion. .
Pals Also Rapped
Also sentenced Wednesday were
Edward C. Powell, 25, Gosso's
partner in the try for freedom, and
Jack Harris McGaughey. 20. who
admitted being the outside contact
who sent up escape tools to Gosso
and Powell.
AIL pleaded guilty to district
attorney's informations after
waiving grand jury hearings.
Powell received a nine-year sen.
lence on- the- attempted jail break
charge. This is to run consecu
tively wiih his 15-year sentence
imposed last Friday on an at
tempted rape charge making a
maximum total of 24 years.
McGaughey got a one-year peni
tentiary sentence added to a year
sentence imposed previously on a
charge of contributing to the de
linquency of a minor.
Powell, as he stood for arraign
ment, stared vacantly at an oppo
site wall as District Attorney Rob
ert G. Davis recounted the attack
on Jaiier William Kissinger and
the vicious bloody struggle that
followed.
His hands folded before him, the
retiring, thin-faced Powell heard
Davis described ill detail the bat
tle that left a trail of blood
throui'iout the jail corridors.
Gosso's first arraignment was
on the robbery' charge. He asked
for additional time in which to en
ter a plea.
The youth then pleaded guilty to
the second charge, involving the
jail break attempt.
Denies Attack On Faigley
Apparently having changed his
mind, Gosso was returned several
minutes later from his jail cell
and pleaded guilty to the robbery
charge. He was originally accused
of hitting 81-year-old Thomas Faig
ley over the head and robbing him
of a billfold containing $111.
He denied that he had hit Faig
ley or taken the money, however,
and named another person as com
mitting the act. Gosso told the
court:
"I guess I was just as much to
blame as the other man. I didn't
hit him (Faigley) and I didn't take
ne money, but I was there when
" happened."

CAIRO, Egypt UF British
and Egyptian troops clashed Wed
nesday along the Suez canal and
the British seized the only bridge
crossing it. Two Egyptian soldiers
were killed in the fighting.
The Arabic newspaper Al Zaman
later said the British had with
drawn from the bridge called El
Ferdan and that Egyptian troops
had resumed guard duty in the
area.

officials yiid the Britons agreed
to pull their troops out of the town
of 50.000 and leave it in control of

British possession of canal
crossing facilities and other com

that Egyptian army forces sta

The British, meanwhile, were

by air of 3,500 parachute troops
from the Medileranean island of
Cyprus to the canal area where
40,000 or more British soldiers and
airmen already sere on the alert.

The tense situation is the mil
growth of Egypt's action Monday
breaking its liue mutual delense
treaty with Britain and the 1899
agreement setting up joint Anglo
Egyptian rule of the Sudan.
The defense treaty gave Britain
the right to station troops in Egypt
to guard the canal.
Egypt is trying to oust Ihe troops
and take sole control of the Sudan.
Britain's foreign secretary Her
bert Morrison has announced Bri
tish troops will stay put and fight
to defend themselves until Egypt
agrees to some new method of
defending the canal. Morrison said
Britain refuses to exchange Su

Defense, Commercial Shipping Halted
By Wildcat Dock Strike In N. Y. City
NEW YORK (AP) Wildcat dock strikers tightened
their grip on New York City piers today, as rumblings of
possible violence spread along the waterfronts here and on
the west coast.
Apparently beyond control of AFL longshore leaders,
the strike leap-frogged to more docks in Brooklyn, and vir
tually numbed the entire Hudson river waterfront on Man'
hattan s west side.
Vital defense and commercial
shipping alike were severely .crip
pled. At Brooklyn's big port of em
barkation, one of the nation's ma,
jor shipping centers for military
supplies and troops, nearly 1,000
stevedores gathered on the streets

but ignored "shapeup

Death is often the easy way out.
That was the idea forcefully brought to a group of about

They spoke to the high
Bloodmobile Due
Here Tomorrow
The Red Cl'oss Bloodmobile will
call in Roseburg between 3 and 7
p. m. at the Elks temple Friday
reminded Harold Shanks, blood
procurement chairman.
Shanks cited an incident re
cently where the quick response
to a call for blood at a local hos
pital saved a woman's life.
He said the woman, brought into
Ihe hospital, needed blood badly.
No donors were immediately avail
able and a call was issued.
A young falhcr, visiting his wife
at the hospital, heard the call and
offered his blood, which coinci
dentally was the proper type, said
Shanks.
In citing the incident, however,
he said that it is far better to
have the blood immediately avail
able than to depend upon chance
donors. Only by full cooperation
can this be achieved, because of
the demand for blood by the mili
tary in Korea. The local blood
procurement committee would like
to be able to stockpile sufficient
blood in the community as well
as to send its share to Korea, said
Shanks.
The Douglas county quota is 284
pints each month.
Tommy Keel, Injured,

Tommy Keel, 15, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Vernon Keel of Roseburg,
and a junior in Roseburg Senior

that each officially participated
in.
It happened one Sunday morn
ing about 1:30.
It left a small boy, age 4 dead
with a crushed head and crushed
chest.
Did you ever crush an egg

That's how this boy's head was
crushed," Dr. Halladay said.
A girl, 7, lost an eye. "It was
like someone had taken an ice
cream scooper and scooped out an
eye," Dr. Halladay explained.
The other car involved carried
six teen-age high school students
three couples returning from
a dance.
One girl, 18, will never dance
again. She suffered a shattered leg
which will always be lame. She'll
walk on it again but she'll never
run or engage in athletics again,
Dr. Halladay said.
A 16-year-old boy and a 17-year
old girl will never dance again

of the accident.
The driver of the teen-ager's car

The car swerved Into the left

other vehicle, driven by a navy

Three were killed and seven
others injured. But the story didn't
end there.
Prottcution Told
District Attorney Robert Davis
described how he prosecuted
reluctantly the 18-year-old
driver of the car on a manslaugh
ter charge.
"He has a scar that none of the
rest have," Davis said. "In an
other three years he'll come out
of the state penitentiary an ex

home in bed at the time nf the
accident, was involved in $42,000
worth of law suits, Davis said.
"This boy was like a lot of
olher drivers who drive with a
feeling of power," Davis said.
"They want to build up. i sense

though there had been no report
that a woman was aboard. A red
sweater and a red slipper were
nearby.
"I don't think they'll ever recog

the bodies were intact but they
were all charred."
Jones said the plane crashed
about 100 feet below a bluff but
there was another bluff beyond.
"If the plane had climbed the
other way it would have been over
the sea and safe," he said.
"The right wing was standing
straight up in the air, and there
was one float but that was all
that was in one piece."
