Flanders Message Said Sanctioned by Administration
Washington U.R) Sen.
Ralph E. Flanders' Thanksgiving
Day message to Russia over the
Voice of America was strictly in
line -with administration policy,
the United States Information
Agency sad today.
A spokesman added that the
agency itself asSed Flanders to
switch his choice of words and
address his statement to the
"Soviet people" rather than the
"Russian people." The purpose,
he said, was to avoid offending
minority groups in Russia.
Furor by Jenner
Sen. William E. Jenner (R
Ind.) kicked up a furor in the
Senate Tuesday when he shout
ed at Flanders, demanding to
know what he meant "when he
appealed to the Communist ty
rants ... as my friends, my So
viet brothers." He accused the
Vermont Republican of "con
torted, twisted thinking" and of
helping spread "peaceful co
existence propaganda."
The USIA spokesman said the
agency had asked Flanders to
make a Thanksgiving Day
broadcast to Russia after he had
made several speeches on the
need to get across to the Soviets
"that we stand for peace." The
message was recorded at Fland
ers home in Springfield, Vt.
"He originally referred to the
'Russian people' and we suggest
ed that this be changed to 'So
viet people in accordance witn
administration policy,- the
spokesman said.
Message Translated
Flanders' message on disarma
ment plans proposed by the free
world was trar slated for broad
casting purpos3s into Russian,
Armenian, Georgian, and
Ukrainian. The spokesman said
that people speaking languages
other than Russian and living in
their own provinces would have
been "insulted" if they had been
referred to as Russians. '
"What he said was very much
in line with our foreign policy
of real disarmament," peace, un
derstanding and friendship with
all peoples," the spokesman
added. "Nothing he said is in
conflict with the foreign policy
of the United States or other
Voice of America broadcasts."

sale nationally on Oct. 1 of this
year, he said.

done in ivory to coordinate
with the lighting system.
The store will be open until
9 p.m. today, and until that
'time on future Wednesdays.
pregnant during that California
visit. , -
Miss Hayes left Cleveland for
California after she quit her job
at a hospital on -Feb. 3 this year.
She gave Dr. Sheppard the ad
dress of the Roy Shabla home,
where she went to live in
Downey, a Los Angeles suburb.
Miss Hayes said she first
heard from Dr. Sam in March
when "he called me on the
phone and said he was in Los
Angeles."
Home of Friend
Then, the next day, he drove
to Downey, picked her up, and
they went to dinner at the home
of Dr. Arthur Miller in Los An
geles. Mr. Miller is a friend of
Dr. Sheppard's.
They were at the Miller home
"about seven days," she said.
"Did you occupy the same
bedroom with Dr. Sheppard?"
She said she did. ,
She was on direct examina
tion almost an hour.
A previous witness, Thomas
Weigle, testified he saw Dr. Sam
fly into a rage while the osteo
path and his son were watching
a cowboy and Indian television
movie. ,
Beat His Son. -
Weigle, Marilyn Sheppard's
first cousin, said Sheppard beat
his son, Sam Jr., 7, for some two
minutes because the boy play
fully tapped his father on the
arm.
Weighe's testimony followed
that of Worth E. Munn, a manu
facturing executive and uncle
of the slain woman who told
how Dr. Sam immediately after
the murder had said he thought
there were two intruders in the
house when she was killed.
Pr. Sheppard in subsequent
stories said that he grappled
with one big, bushy-haired man.
The earliest modern form of
insurance was for the safety of
ocean vessels as well as the car
go they carried.
