Jailer Beaten by
Armed Escapees
Coquille, Ore., Nov. 21
Three heavily armed Coos coun
ty jail escapees were hunted to
day. The trio of young men bat
tered an elderly jailer last night,
looted the jail office of shot
guns and pistols and fled into
the night.
I Sheriff William Howell Iden
tified the escapees as James Lyle
Vlning, 23; Doyle Gault, 22; and
David Clinton Maynard, 20.
Jailer G. H. Atherton, 70, was
beaten about the head and is in
the Myrtle Point hospital. The
jail matron, Mrs. F. Staten. es
caped possible harm by lock
ing herself In I room when the
three men broke out of the cell
block.
They had lured Atherton into
the cell block on the pretext of
wanting a towel, the sheriff said.
One of the men tackled him in
the corridor and all three then
ran for the main floor. They
stopped long enough to obtain
the guns and ammunition, cut
the telephone wires to delay an
alarm, he said.
Road blocks were erected on
all highways leading from the
area by state police. The sher
iff said posses were also organ
ized to search the southwest
Oregon coastal sector.
Atherton's condition was de
scribed as critical at the hospi
tal. The sheriff said the jailer
had been struck with a heavy
mop stick.

Acheson Asks 30 Nations
To Aid in Freeing Consul
Washington, Nov. 21 P) The
30 nations, including Russia, to
munists in behalf of the imprisoned American consul general,
Angus Ward.
The state department announced that Secretary Acheson sent
out messages Friday night ask-"
ing the other governments as
a matter of urgency" to express
to the communist authorities
PeiDing their "concern" over the
jailing of Ward and four mem
bers of his staff.
Ward and the others were
jailed October 24.
The state department said that
even today other American staff
members at Mukden are still
unable to get permission to visit
Ward.
Acheson made his appeal after
the repeated protests to the top
Chinese communist officials,
through American consular rep
resentatives at Peiping, had been
ignored.
There has been a mounting
cry in this country for some
action including demands that
the United States use force
against the communists.
The communists have claimed
that Ward and his staff mem
bers were arrested for beating
a Chinese employe. The state
department calls these charges
"trumped up."
In his communication to other
governments, Acheson recited
the circumstances leading up to
the arrest of Ward The secre
tary then told the other gov
ernments: "The international practice of
civilized countries for many
years has recognized that con
suls should be accorded all the
privileges necessary for the
proper conduct of their duties.
"Although consuls do not have
diplomatic immunity, it has been
the universal practice, because
of the public and official char
acter of their duties, to permit
them and their staff freedom of
movement, and in the event that
any criminal charge is made, to
permit them to remain at liberty
on proper arrangements for bail,
with unlimited freedom to com
municate with their governments
with respect to official business."

of a darkened home. If anyone
answered, he would ask for a
fictitious girl and go away. If
not, he would jimmy a window
and make off with cash and
jewelry.
He joined the army when he
was 18, he told newsmen, and
went to Japan as an agent from
the criminal investigation de
partment. There, he said, he
married a 20-year-old Japanese
girl named Toshiko and they had

Norblad Talks
National Issue
With the government going
into the red at the rate of $15,
000.000 a day, adoption of the
welfare states as advocated by
President Truman would mean
an additional 20 billion dollars
in deficit. This was the asser
tion of Congressman Walter Nor
blad as he discussed national
problems before a capacity
Chamber of Commerce luncheon
group Monday noon.
Speaking in his customary
rapid fire manner Congressman
Norblad spoke of waste in vari
ous governmental agencies and
tion of the national defense. Such
unification, he asserted, would
eliminate much useless duplica
tion.
The B-36 plane is merely i
stop gap to be used until such
time as the XB-52 can be devel
oped, said Norblad. He pre
dicted the B-36 would be outdat
ed no later than 1952 or '53
The Hoover plan, while devel
oped by a non-partisan commis
sion is moving slowly in its pro
gress toward adoption. The
speaker said its adoption would
save at least one and a half bil
lion dollars and there was a sus
picion that the resultant cur
tailment of patronage might
have something to do with the
delay.
The speaker advocated a
strong reserve in contrast to a
huge force of regulars in the
army and navy and praised the
naval establishment now in op
eration in Salem.
Congressman Norblad said he
expected to move his family to
Salem within the near future.
