The officer, E. J. Peoples, ap
pealed to the patrol after he said
he fired two shotgun blasts at a
mysterious prowler in the front
yard of his home several miles

He may have hit the fleeing in

Data on U.S.
Pilot's Crash
MEXICO CITY Mexico's
chief of the air force staff, Col.
Carlos R. Bergunza de Victoria,
said Sunday he had received no
report of a crash-landing by an
American-piloted warplane on Mex
ican soil after a bombing raid over
Guatemala.
That charge was made Sunday

ing his country's demands for an
investigation into Vie invasion by
anti-Communist insurgents seeking
to overthrow the leftist regime of

Castillo - Arriola said a United
States pilot bombed a Guatemalan
town and then flew on to crash
land at Tapachula, Mexico. The air
port control tower here which is in
constant contact with Tapachula,
said it vhad received no word of
any crash landing there.
Commercial airlines officials
said none of their crews working
through Tapachula had heard of
such a landing.
The Defense Ministry said the
only unusual landing at Tapachula
occurred Saturday. At about 4
p.m., it reported, a small plane
carrying three Guatemalans land
ed. The pilot was identified as a
man by the name of Archilla and
the co-pilot as Casta neda.
The passenger told immigration
authorities he was Carlos 111 esc as
and be was the new Guatemalan
consul assigned to Mexico City.
The three were held overnight "for
lack of proper documents," but
were released to continue their
flight to Mexico City, .Sunday ,
There werefwo air -crashes; iast

then left In a few minutes.
The car was the same model
and color, the officer continued, as
one which followed him for sev
eral miles Fridav nieht after the
anti-vice crusading Patterson had
been gunned to death in a driveway-parking
lot alongside the build
ing in which he had his law office.
Peoples told a reporter and high
way patrolmen that the car con
taining three men followed him to
his brother's home near Columbus,
Ga.. and that a short while later
he received a telephone call.
The unidentified caller told him,
the officer related, that he had
been "talking too much" at the
scene of Patterson's killing, and
that he would be slain himself if
he didn't keep his mouth shut.
Never Live t. Die
"He told me I'd never live to
die from a heart attack if I didn't
too talkins." Peoples said.
The officer recently suffered a
heart attack and has been on leave
of absence from the Police Depart
ment since then.
Meanwhile, the climndown which

groping for a clue to the identity
of Patterson's slayer.
Night spots have been told to
remain closed at least until after

day. New Method
Of Freezing
Peas Tried
MILTON-FREEWATER. Ore. J
A new method of freezing peas
after they have been dehydrated
is being tried at the Umatilla Can
ning Co., plant here, and observ
ers say the process may revolu
tionize the pea freezing industry.
Technicians of the U.S. Depart
ment of Agriculture's Western Util
ization Research Branch, Albany,
Calif., are conducting the experi
ments in which the water in the
peas is extracted before freezing.
The method cuts the weight of the
frozen peas 50 per cent.
William Miller, plant manager,
said the decrease in weight would
mean substantial freight cost sav
ings, and cold storage facilities
could accommodate nearly twice
the number of peas because of the
smaller package.
Miller said that if the process is
successful the biggest demand for
the new product will probably be
from the armed forces, institutions
and other large bulk users.
The Army has a special observ
er at the plant to watch the experiments.

Decisive Stage
In Revolution
May Be Due
(Story also on page 1.)
TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (JP)
The three-day old revolution
in Guatemala against the Com
munist-backed regime of Presi
dent Jacobo Arbenz Guzman may
reach a decisive phase within 48
hours.
This was the report of Associ
ated Press Correspondent Jack
Rutledge who quoted Guatemalan
army officers. Leader of the re
sistance force, reportedly an
army of 5,000 consisting entirely
of Guatemalans, is CoL Carlos
Castillo Armas.
Resistance headquarters claimed
Guatemalan soldiers "are desert
ing to our side" but gave no esti
mate of the number. Col. Rodolfo
Mendoza. former Guatemalan air
force chief now aiding the invad
ers, broadcast an appeal to gov
ernment fliers to desert.
Cat by Rebels
The headquarters said Guate
mala's only railroad, the vital line
connecting Puerto Barrios, on the
Caribbean, with the capital and
San Jose on the Pacific bad been
cut by the rebels between Puerto
Barrios and Guatemala City, near
a town called Morales.
Some fighting was reported in
that sector, although the Guate
malan army has claimed it has
made no ground contact yet with
the invaders.
Other invading units were report
ed striking out to cut the rail line
farther inland, between Zacapa
and Chlquimula, about 65 miles
northeast of Guatemala City.
Key Port
Resistance headquarters said
their forces were in Puerto Barrios
but conceded that key port was
"not officially in our hands." The
rebels earlier claimed to be hold
ing both Puerto Barrios and San
Jose, but those claims had been
denied by the government:
The headquarters here said the
towns of Asquipulas, Jocotan and
Quezautepeque also had fallen to
invasion forces and announced that
a special mass of "thanksgiving"
would be celebrated at Asquipulas
there Monday. All three are in the
agricultural district of Chiquimula
near the Honduran border.
(At the United Nations jn New
York Guatemalan Delegate Ed
uardo Castilo-Arriola confirmed the
fall of Morales and Asquipulas, and
also Bananera. He described all
three as small towns close togeth
er, all about 10 miles inside Guate
mala.) WASHINGTON UFi Guatemala's
diplomatic representative here
charged Sunday that war weapons
the United States recently airlifted
to Honduras and Nicaragua "are
now being used by aggressor forc
es invading Guatemala."
Alfredo Chocano, charge d'af
faires of Guatemala, made the
charge against the United States
he accused Honduras and Nica
ragua of sending attacking forces
into Guatemala as he announced
he had asked the inter-American
Peace Commission to help restore
peace in his country.

Hensel Says McCarthy Admits
Charges Not Based on Facts
WASHINGTON Of) H. Struve
Hensel said Sunday Sen. McCarthy
(R-Wis) admitted he had no factu
al basis for charges he made
against Hensel and offered to with
draw them if it could be done with
out making the senator appear a
"damn fool."
Hensel, assistant secretary of
defense who was dismissed as a
principal midway in the McCarthy
Army hearings, said he refused
McCarthy's offer without a "con
fession of error" and "that confes
sion Sen. McCarthy refused to
make publicly."
This latest echo of the seven-week
hearings came as Hensel released
an affidavit which he submitted
for inclusion in the record. Based
on what-it contains, he said, "the
motion . to dismiss the charges
against me should be revived and
passed unanimously with a severe
rebuke to ' Sen. McCarthy."
AffldaTlt Seat
Hensel sent the affidavit with a
letter dated June 16 to Sen. Mundt
(R-SD), who presided over the
hearings. He released it for publi
cation Sunday at the Quantico,
Va., Marine Corps Base where he
and other Defense Department of
ficials are concluding a four-day
conference.
Mundt declined to comment on
Hensel'i statements, but said the
committee will decide in execu
tive session whether to include the
document in the record. No date
has been fixed for the. group's next
meeting, he said.
McCarthy was not available for
comment. After the hearings end
ed last Thursday, he left for a
week's vacation without saying
where he was going.
Free to Resume
Mundt said the end of the hear
ings left McCarthy free to resume
Tests Due in
Death of Heir
To Fortune
CHICAGO un Chemical tests
have been ordered in the death
Saturday of 20-year-old Montgom
ery Ward Thorne, an heir to a
$2,600,000 mail order firm fortune.
Dr. Harry Leon, Coroner's physi
cian, directed the chemical exam
ination following an autopsy. Leon
said Thorne appeared to have died
of natural causes, possibly of a
stroke.
Thome's body was found lying
across a bed, clad only in shorts,
by the landlord of a near north
side apartment. Leon said no
marks of physical evidence were
found other than four needle marks
on each arm.
Coroner Walter E. McCarron
withheld his opinion' on the cause
of death pending the outcome of
the chemical examination which
may require three weeks. An in
quest is scheduled to open Mon
day. -
Thome's father, Gordon Corn
stock Thorne, died 16 years ago
leaving an estate valued at $2,
600,000. Gordon Thorne was the
spn of William Cobb Thorne, form
er president of Montgomery, Ward
k Co., and a grandson of the
founder of the firm.
Young Thorne and his mother,
the former Mrs. Marion Bolin of
Ashland, Wis., are heirs to the es
tate. Thorne had returned to Chicago
earlier in the month following com
pletion of his freshman year at
Fordham University in New York
City.
New Premier
Of France
Due for Talks
GENEVA UP Top Western lead
ers Sunday cleared the conference
field for the race by French Pre
mier Pierre Mendes-France to gain
a negotiated peace in Indochina
within the next four weeks.
French sources here said the new
Premier will arrive in Geneva late
Monday or early Tuesday to take
personal charge of his program of
dealing directly with the Communist-led
Vietmlnh rebel regime
instead of through an allied front.
The next conference session is
Tuesday afternoon.
After talking with U.S. Under
secretary of State Walter Bedell
Smith, in Paris, however, Mendes
France apparently had changed his
mind on his timetable. He said he
would not be coming here Monday.
He could not say when he would
make the trip.

investigations and hearings by the
Senate permanent investigating
subcommittee. He said the ban
which the committee voted on new
probes by McCarthy expired at the
end of the public hearings.
But Sen. Jackson (D-Wash), a
subcommittee member, said in an
interview "it is inconceivable" that
the subcommittee would tackle any
new investigations before disposing
of charges pending against mem
bers of its own staff.
Jackson told newsmen the charg
es involving staff members "can
be handled separate and apart"
from over-all findings in the McCarthy-Army
probe.
Jenkins Won't
Seek Senate
Seat in 1954
WASHINGTON UP Ray J.
Jenkins said Sunday he probably
will not run for the Senate this
year but if he changes his mind
he would be happy to have Sen.
McCarthy (R-Wis) campaign on
his behalf.
"If I ran I would welcome all
the help from any persons whom
soever I thought would be a help
to me in my campaign," said Jen
kins, special subcommittee coun
sel in the just-ended McCarthy
Army hearings. He was inter
viewed on the NBC TV show
"Meet the Press."
Jenkins said he had been con
tacted by many friends during a
trip to his home in Knoxville,
Tenn., this weekend. The friends
want him to go along with those
who have put his name up for
the Republican nomination to the
seat now held by Sen, Kefauver
(D-Tenn).
As for McCarthy helping him if
he does decide to run, Jenkins
said:
"If I became a candidate for
the Senate and Sen. McCarthy
magnanimously tendered his serv
ice and came down to make a
speech for me at this moment I
would accept his offer."
Jenkins was asked whether Sen.
Dirksen (R-Ill), a member of the
investigations subcommittee, had
offered financial and personal help
to him in the Tennessee race.
The Tennesseean replied that
Dirksen had offered neither politi
cal nor financial support. He said
the Illinois senator had talked to
him about the possibility of his
running and there was "some inti
mation" Dirksen would come to
Tennessee to speak on his behalf.

Burn U.S. Flag
SANTIAGO. Chile Cfl Chilean
students shouting pro-Guatemala
slogans burned the American flag
in downtown Santiago Saturday
night. Anti-U.S. demonstrations
had started in the afternoon.
Youths of seven political parties,
ranging from left-wing Socialists
to conservative Social Christians,
shouted "Unite our forces and
close our ranks to defeat the ag
gression against Guatemala."
Leftists and nationalists blamed
the U.S. for the uprising against
the Guatemalan government.
The demonstrations earlier were
staged in front of the Guatemalan
Embassy, where Guatemalan ex
