Vw4Am
Friday
In the dedication of this magni
ficent new Courthouse I wish at
the outset to emphasize that this
is preeminently the people's build
ing, the seat of government for
all the people of Marion County.
It is not a monument to the ambi
tion of public officials, nor a build
ing to gratify the pride or merely
to give comfort to those who work
within its walls. It is erected for
the. use and benefit of the people
of the County. The portals are
opened daily in its service. The
people have provided the funds
for its construction. Very properly
they may take pride in it, be
cause it is theirs not only as phy
sical property, but in its function
ing for the housing of an essential
arm of government
The Courthouse really is funda
mental in our political organiza
tion. Laws are made at the na
tional and at state capitals; but
it is in the County Courthouse that
laws are applied. In the ordinary
routine of living many persons
rarely have business at a court
house; but let there be a trespass
on the rights of the individual and
the courthouse becomes a place
for legal redress or even a haven

would have perished in the heat
otherwise.
A spokesman in the Southern Pa

of his name, said damage might
run to "one million dollars" be
cause the food in the cars "cer

Tbo perishables were beading for
Eastern markets.
Spokesmen for the railroad said
also they did not expect to clear
the track sufficiently to start re
building the torn rails until Mon
day morning.
Traffic on the tracks would not
be resumed until Monday after
noon. At least four passenger
trains were scheduled to move
along the tracks before Monday.
Railroad officials said deals were
made with bus lines to transport
passengers from El Paso to Fa

the East to handle the load.
Cause of the wreck had not been

Hanoi Awaits

clouds piled over Hanoi Sunday as
this sunburned war capital waited
for overdue monsoon rains and a
siege that may not come.
Communist-led Vietminh divi
sions which crushed Dien Bien Phu
six weeks ago with human sea at
tacks have semi-circled Hanoi for
two weeks and are now at bases
40 miles to the north and west, 55
miles to the southwest, and 90
miles to the south.
Vietminh supply convoys total

Red China-supplied artillery and
anti-air batteries have pushed re
lentlessly forward to the outer de
fense perimeter of the Red River
Delta despite almost daily French
bombing, napalming and strafing.
Apparently the rebels are in po-v
sition to start a battle for the delta
and Hanoi today, tomorrow or next
week.
JBut the delta is teetering on the
edge of the monsoon season and
there has been speculation that if
the rebels do not attack before the
rains ceme, they will not attack
until the rains quit some time in
September a view not held by
Gen. Rene Cogny, commander of
French Union forces in North Viet-
Nam.
The handsome Woot, 4-inch

U.N. to Act
On Guatemala
By FRANCIS W. CARPENTER
UNITED NATIONS. N.Y. (J)
Russia Sunday vetoed an American-backed
proposal to shunt Gua
temala's complaint of aggression
to the Organization of American
1 States and demanded that the U.N.
Security Council act in the case.
It was Moscow's 60th veto in the
Security Council.
Russia's Delegate Semyon K.
Tsarapkin, with Guatemala giving
full agreement, stood aside and
permitted the Council, meeting in
a long and tumultuous Sunday
session, to approve a resolution by
France calling for an immediate
end to :he bloodshed in Guatemalav
The French proposal, passed
unanimously by the 11 - member
Council, also urged all U.N. mem
bers to refrain from assisting any
party in the fighting in Guatemala.
Resolution Killed
Even though the Russian action
killed the resolution by Brazil and
Columbia to send the matter to
the inter-American organization, it
was certain the matter will be
I taken UP bv that
inier-American
organiza
tion's peace commission will meet
Monday in Washington at 4 p.m.
for a discussion of the Guatemalan
fighting.
The Council was startled to hear
a charge by Guatemalan Ambas
sador Eduardo Castillo-Arriola that
a plane which made a bombing run
over Guatemala crashed at Tapa
chula, Mexico, and two Americans
were aboard.
Mexican authorities said in Mexi
co City they had no report of the
incident. Government flight con
trol authorities there said there had
been no landing at Tapachula by a
damaged plane.
First Time
It was the first time the Security
Council has held an extraordinary
Sunday session since the Korean
War began four years ago.
The meeting was marked by a
shouted demonstration by a man
in the public gallery and by a spirit
ed exchange between Henry Cabot
Lodge Jr., United States chief dele
gate and Council president, and
Tsarapkin,
Tsarapkin said the Guatemalan
question must be acted on by the
Security Council and not be sent
to the inter-American organization,
which he said was dominated by
the United States.
Lodge replied with heat that Mos
cow had designs . on the Western
Hemisphere and sharply" told
Tsarapkin to pass the word to Mos
cow to keep out of the Western
Hemisphere.

Day for County
Man, Locked 8
Days in Sealed
Boxcar, Alive
CASA GRANDE, Ariz. UFi A
28-year-old man locxed in a sealed
railroad car for eight days was
found alive when the car was
opened here late Sunday.
He was identified by papers in
his possession as Milford Alvin
Fitzgerald of 4450 Fifty-First Ave.,
S.W., Seattle, Wash.
A physician said Fitzgerald was
in "poor" condition'.
At first unable to talk, he began
to mumble incoherently a few
hours later at Pinal County Gener
al Hospital in Florence.
"He is too dehydrated from lack
of food or drink," commented Dr.
E. L. Heap, a hospital physician.
Officials of the Southern Pacific
Railroad said Fitzgerald apparent
ly had climbed into the car loaded
with lumber in Washington State.
The car then was sealed. .
When the train had left Tucson
for Casa Grande Sunday, an uni
dentified hobo told sheriffs depu
ties that he had heard a man in
side the sealed car. The deputies
notified local officers to be ready
for the train's arrival.
The desperate convicts ordered
gate keeper Andy Hollingsbead to
open the gate which leads from
the vestibule to the administration
building and fired at him when he
refused.
Mar jorie Capehart, 19, of Topeka,
Kan., whose two-year-old niece
was with her during the ordeal,
sobbed in the warden's office after
ward: :
"The man who was holding me
was real nice he didn't take the
child. But they kept telling us to
ten the guards to let us all out"
Warden Edmondson rushed to a
second gate ' about 15 or 20 feet
behind the vestibule gate. He tried
to reason with the convicts and
urged they release the hostages.
He drew gunfire in return.

Martial Law
Reigns Over
Nation's Area
By SAM SUMMERLIN
TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras OPV
President Jacobo Arbenz Guzman
imposed martial law throughout .
Guatemala Sunday night and read- i
ied a "taxicab army" to combat
anti-Communist invaders of his .
country.
Guatemala City's streets were
cleared as soon as the martial law
decree was announced, a report
from the capital said.
Leaders of the . "liberation :
army," who said their 5,000 men
consisted entirely of Guatemalans,
declared their three-pronged inva- r
sion was well advanced toward the
Pan American Highway near the
Salvadorean border.
But Associated Press Cor
spondent Jack Rutledge in Guate
mala said the . government had
ordered all private automobiles ;
commandeered, and had put -'
guards over all gasoline stations i
to prevent sales to private owners.
He said the cars 1 were being
mobilized to move troops, and that !
a decisive phase in the battle for ;
Guatemala might be reached in '
48 hours.
He quoted Guatemalan army of
ficers as saying no field action had
been fought in the three-day old
revolution against the red-backed
regime, but that action could not
be delayed much longer
President Arbenz was reported
to be in personal charge of defense
strategy, and it was speculated
that he might have in mind an
emulation of the famous "taxicab
army" which France rushed up to
the Marne in World War I to turn
back the Germans from Paris.
The U.S. Embassy in Guatemala
also was reported concerned by a f
rising "anti-American" campaign ;
in the capital. It was reported
making plans to evacuate the 1.200 ;
Americans in Guatemala. The
embassy described the situation as 1
"very, very serious."
A spokesman at the "liberation '
army" headquarters here of Col.
Carlos Castillo Armas, leader of
the Guatemalan resistance move
ment, said the invaders were mov
ing toward Jutiapa, a town of 5,000 .
some 45 miles south of Guatemala
City and 20 miles north of the El j
Salvador border.
The rebels also were pointed to
ward Asuncion Mita, a town of ;
3,000, 13 miles northeast of Jutiapa. .
The spokesman said rebel planes ..
were dropping arms in Western' 1
Guatemala where uprisings :
against the government have been ,
reported. He said small-scale up
risings had occurred at Tutonica- '
pan, which has a population of
9,500; Retalhuleu, 7,500; and Hue
huetenango, 6,000, which is farther
