Expectant Mother Stranded Small islands surrounding Britain were isolated by the storm and the Royal Air Force ordered a helicopter to fly a doc ' tor to the aid of an expectant mother, stranded on a tiny islet off the coast of the Isle of Man. Her needs were made known to the mainland by distress signals and the word "baby" spelled in white stones on the island's stormlashed beach.

Joseph . R. McCarthy appeared today to have gained GOP Lead er William F. Knowland's sup port on one argument made against censuring the Wisconsin Republican. Knowland did not directly commit himself. But he indicated during the Senate censure de bate that he has doubts about whether the Senate could prop erly punish McCarthy now for acts during 1951-52, since the Support Against Red Chinese Envoy Rejects Oral Protest On Jailing of Yanks Geneva, Switzerland U.R) U.S. Consul - General Franklin Gowen,' in a bitter face to face meeting with Red Chinese dip lomat Chen Ping last night, pro tested the unlawful jailing of 13 Americans by Red China "in the strongest possible terms.'

The woman, implicated in the Herman -Havens "jilted bride" case of last spring and summer, is . described by 'authorities as the girl friend of Percy William Herman. . He - was convicted : ir. Richmond in July on the same charge. It involved jewels and money belonging to his former bride, Mrs. Dyoll Prather Ha vens. He was sentenced to eight years in prison and fined $10, ooo. S:-:r- Mrs. Nagler gave "her address Rogue River. . However, : au thorities there said she moved away from , there about 1951.

Holdouts Heed Pleas A group of 23 holdouts, in cluding Unruh, the' mad killer who murdered 13 persons and wounded three others in a shoot ing spree in 1949, barricaded themselves in the, dining room. - The holdouts, Who ; greeted pleas to give up with curses and demands to see Gov, Robert B. Meyner, finally were talked into submission by : Col; Lovell Bix by, acting head of the institu tion. , United Dim Aft by Knowland McCarthy Senate had reseated him with out challenge in 1953. . , One of two censure counts against McCarthy is that he was contemptuous of a Senate Elec tions subcommittee which inves tigated his financial and other activities in 1951-52. ' Dangerous Precedent . Knowland aired his doubts in questioning Sen. Ernest. S. Brown (R-Nev.), who took his seat Nov. 8 and probably will be replaced within a few days. The Chinese silently wrote down every word as Gowen read the protest in the luxurious Beau Rivage hotel and then sol emnly announced that it' was "unacceptable." In diplomatic language that meant it was re jected. Gowen charged the Imprison ment of the Americans on trumped up spy charges was a "flagrant violation" of both the Korean truce and the 1929 Gene va Convention on prisoners of war. ; Gowen strode into the Beau Rivage hotel on the "neutral" shores of Lake Geneva and made his oral protest to Chen Ping, acting Chinese Communist consul general, and to his depu ty, Li Swang-tze. 4' ' ' TTKe face "to face meeting de manded by Gowan on State De partment, orders, was disclosed by American officials this morn ing.'. .' The Chinese had stalled until last night on Gowen's . challenge to step from their diplomatically immune consulate " onto "neu tral"' territory to receive the bit ter American complaint. Gowen's meeting with Chen came after. Chen telephoned the U.S. Consulate they were ready to hear the protest on the lake side hill where American and Peiping diplomats have been meeting since the Geneva con ference, to discuss the fate of Americans still in Red China's hands. ; T ; Said West's Plan Los Angeles (U.R) Field Marshal Viscount Montgomery said today that if the West is attacked it will defend itself against the aggressor "with the full weight" of its atomic and hydrogen weapons. "We will never be the aggres sor ourselves," he asserted, "but the essential point is that ' we ourselves should be able to re ceive a surprise nuclear , attack, to absorb it and to survive to hit back." The deputy, supreme com mander of Allied powers in Eu rope spoke of nuclear retalia tion in a speech prepared , for delivery before a, lunch spon sored by the California Institute of Technology and . the , World Affairs Council. i ; "The best safeguard for peace is the possession of such strong air power that a potential aggres sor knows his attack will be re turned at once, that he will get back far more than he gives, and that his own country will be de stroyed," Montgomery said. Purchase Authorized For Penal Institution Salem KU.PJ The State Board of Control today authorized pur chase of the Williams and Hart farm north of Salem for $70,000 as a site for the new intermed iate penal institution. . Iv - This marked final action after months of inspection of sites in Marion county, and hearings be fore the State Emergency Board. That board -last Friday finally gave its approval to the site se lected by the Board of Control. Previously, the Emergency Board members had asked the Board of Control to take another look at tbe Keppinger site at Gexvais. rilBUNE Fresa FuU Leased Win Price 5c No. 217 Doouft k Brown, who spoke for two hours, said that censure of McCarthy would establish a dangerous precedent limiting congression al investigations. Brown was defeated in the Nov. 2 elections by Democrat Alan Bible who will succeed him in the Senate seat as soon as his credentials are approved. McCarthy did not appear dur ing the three-hour morning ses sion. This was the last full day of general debate on censure. Voting will begin late tomor row. Knowland said he was glad Brown brought up the point of how far back the Senate could go in censuring a member it has since seated without question. He asked Brown if he felt that a form of "statute of limitations" did not apply, once the Senate has seated a member. Brown said that was his view. Brown Praised In a later question, Knowland said he always had felt ''there must be some termination date" otnerwise the Senate could go back as far as it pleased to "dig out material"' on - members. Brown agreed. Sen. Dennis Chavez (D-N.M.), praised Brown for a "wonderful contribution" to the debate. But he said Brown's main argu ments concerned the Senate's right to expel a member. "The question here is whether we have any right to scold Mc Carthy; or censure; him," Cha vez said. The galleries, often packed since the censure debate began, were less Jhan half full ' as BrowrPmade his long presenta tion with frequent interruptions for questions. Blood Unit Due Here December 15 The Red Cross blood collec tion unit will be in Medford on Wednesday, Dec 15, it was an nounced today. ' It is hoped that at least 300 donors will give blood at that time, and blood ' program offi cials pointed out that if the quota is not fulfilled, Jackson county again will fail to provide enough blood for its own local needs. ; : The bloodmobile will again be at the Elks temple from 1 to 6 : p.m. Blood-giving : appoint ments may be made by tele phoning 3-3813. . It was also pointed out that the bloodmobile will visit Rogue River the day. before, Dec. 14. The visit was set Up as a result of many residents there who want to give blood but find it impossible to come to Medford to do so. Recent discussions among blood program workers have centered around the need to mo tivate local people to give blood. Some - consideration has been given to changing the hours of the visit to permit more people who work set hours during the day to visit the unit, s - Military Pay Raise Under Consideration Washington 4U.R) The De fense Department -is preparing legislation calling for military pay raises that may average from 8 to 1L per cent, informed sources said today- - Army Secretary Robert T. Stevens told a Retired Officers Association meeting Monday that the department would ask Congress next year for "a sub stantial pay raise" for miltary personnel. Rep. Carl Vinson (D-Ga.), who will be chairman of the House Armed Services Committee in January, has said the pay raise will be his committee's No. 1 business. It was reported the new bill different from previous across--the-board raises will especial ly reward servicemen who make the military a career. And the rates will vary with individuals, rank and length of service. : Portland (U.R) Robert Brew ster ' Taylor. 57-year-old Adams wheat rancher, is to be named Oregon State Wheat Commiii- sion adiaiaistrator.. . ..

Dulles conferred with Presi dent Eisenhower by telephone before making ; Monday night's major foreign riolicv SDeech. He then announced the nation will exhaust all "neaceful means of sustaining our international rignts and those of our citizens." This country' must not let it self be "provoked", into, "war ac tion" which could upset the deli cate balance of world peace and "impair the alliance of free na tions," he said Dulles speech before the na tional 4-H Club Congress and to a nationwide radio and television audience was a flat rejection of forceful policies urged by Sen ate Majority Leader William Knowland. Knowland has" called f or . a blockade of Communist China as an answer to the recent sen tencing of 11' American service men and two civilians captured during the Korean war. . " Dulles warned Communist China's "aggressive" action may mean "international Commu nism is trying by a new way to divide the free nations." "Thev seek to hp snnthinff in Europe,' 'he said. "They are pro vocative in Asia." , , To React .Vigorously ' "Our , nation will react and react vieorouslvrbut witi-.mit nil lowing ourselves to be provoked into action which would be a vi olation of our international ob ligations and which would im pair the alliance of the free na tions," he said. ' ' ; "What, has happened . is a challenge to us, and indeed to all who want peace, to find ways, consistent with peace, to sustain international rights," he said. Dulles pointed out that the United States, under the United Nations Charter, has agreed to settle international disputes "by peaceful means in such a man ner that international peace is not endangered." ' i Washington 4U.R) Secretary of State John Foster Dulles re ceived bipartisan support today for his firm stand against an air or sea blockade to try to force Red China to release 13 Ameri can prisoners. Three Democratic foreign. pol icy spokesmen Sens. Walter F. George (Ga.), John Sparkman (Ala.) and J. William Fulbfight (Ark.) lined up with Dulles in opposition to the blockade pro posal advanced by Republican Senate Leader William v vn Avar- land, Calif. , Two influential Republicans H. Alexander Smith (N.J.) and Homer Ferguson (Mich.) also sided with Dulles although Fer guson said he would not rule out use of a blockade at some time. George, who will be chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee next year, said he "thoroughly agreed" with Dulles in ruling t)ut a blockade of Red China. He said a blockade would "invite war and retaliation on our own people" . and lead to the "speedy death" of all Amer icans held by the Communists. Smith, the second-ranking Re publican member of the com mittee, said he too generally agrees with Dulles but was dis appointed the secretary did not make; a "more definite state ment" on what peaceful steps will, be taken to free the 13 Americans, r "' . . . ; '? jt Sen. Arving M. Ives (R-N.Y.), praised Dulles' speech as being "fundamentally sound" and agreed that a blockade "might lead to all-out war." Sparkman said "we ought to remember that a blockade is an act of war and that with a block ade we'd be inviting war." Ful bright , said " Dulles' remarks "make good sense ant) 'a far ac I can see, I support his views." Knowland stuck by his guns today despite rejection of the idea by Dulles. " 1 However, Knowland com menting on Dulles' snpch- said his dispute with the administra tion on Far East policy is not as great as some would make it apnear to be " He said . he would support any . "effective" awexnauva to a blockade. . , SEEK ASYLUM -- Seeking asylum in Prague, Czecho slovakia, Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Ward and theirchildren take a walk in park here. Ward, i U.

Hanna to life on both charges. The. Coos Bay youth earlier ' had pleaded innocent to first degree murder charges involv ing the April 24 hatchet slaying of Mrs. Hile. This morning he withdrew . that plea to plead guilty to second degree murder. It was not necessary that Ches ley be reindicted. by, the grand jury bin the second degree mur der charge,, because second, de gree murder is included in the charge of first degree murder.

The, test, given in the assist ant jailer's quarters in the coun ty jail, lasted about an hour, and during that period Chesley. steadfastly maintained that he did hot hit Mrs. Hile, Nunley said. ' ..) Felt Jus-fied "Legally speaking, Chesley is still guilty of first degree mur der," Nunley said, "but morally speaking, I felt justified in pleading him guilty to second degree murder." The district at torney added, "Considering his (Chesley's) age, I felt the inter- . ests of justice would best be served by allowing . him to plead to second degree mur der." . The truth serum test was giv en on the recommendation of Dr. Gehrhart Haugen and Dr. John . Waterman, , psychiatrists who, examined Chesley, the dis trict attorney said. He added that the psychiatrists' examina tions, disclosed no evidence of insanity in Chesley. . Nunley noted that he con ferred with the parents of the murdered woman before allow ing Chesley to enter a plea to the lesser crime.
