As More Help To Banks Than To Children
Washington (U.R) Sen. Rich

that any such increase in inter

Revealed by Organ
: Taipeh, Formosa (U.PJ The
Communists have stepped up the
redeployment of their forces op
posite Formosa for attacks
against Quemoy and Matsu, the
official Tato news agency said
today.
. Tato, organ of the Ministry
of Interior, said the mass move
ment of Communist troops into
the Fukien - Chekiang coastal
area was greatly increased fol
lowing the evacuation of Tachen
Island.
Another Risk Predicted
The agency predicted the Chi
nese Communists would "run
another risk" and attack the
islands "despite American big
talk." '
The Tato agency . said the
Communists were building up
air, land and naval strength in
the two provinces opposite For
mosa, especially air fields which
are within striking distance of
Formosa.
: The buildup was reported to
be under direction of Red Chi
nese Gen. Chen Yi, veteran of
the war against Japan and . of
the civil war in China.
Arms Flow Into Amoy
A continuous flow of arms
and munitions has poured into
the Amoy area, only a few miles

south of Tachen and leave only
a regular and guerrilla garrison
there.

Plans for Freedom
Of American Fliers
Officials Hold Slim
Hopes for Success
Washington (U.R) U.N. Secretary-General
Dag Hammarsk
jold still has a couple of plans
up his sleeve to win release of
15 American airmen : jailed by
Red China,,it was learned today;
But American officials frank
ly admitted they do not hold
high hopes that Hammarskjold's
ideas will, work. They refused to
say what the U.N. official is
considering. -
Dulles, Lodge Talk
- Secretary of State John Fos
ter Dulles told reporters before
flying to New York for a major
foreign . speech that he had
talked by telephone with Henry
Cabot Lodge Jr., chief U. S. del
egate to the United Nations,
about efforts .to free the fliers.
He said he has no plans to con
fer with Hammarskjold while
in New York but will meet with
James J. Wadsworth, deputy to
Lodge. He said he will"not par
ticularly" discuss the fliers with
Wadsworth, but he refused to
say what they will talk about.
The existence of Hammarsk
jold's plans came to light after
Senate Republican Leader Wil
liam F. Knowland said in a
Senate speech Tuesday that the
fliers should not be allowed to
"become the forgotten men."
Knowland also arranged a break
fast appointment with . Presi
dent Eisenhower today, possibly
to discuss the plight of the air
men, 'y';. 'C'"'"
Captured During Korea War
The fliers were captured by
the Communists during the Ko
rean war, but never returned in
accordance with the armistice.
Eleven have been sentenced to
jail terms ranging from four to
20 years.. The '"'other four have
not been sentenced publicly.
Knowland ".sad.uesdaythat
since the United Nations has
turned the Formosa, . problem
over 'to diplomats for secret
cease fire efforts the organiza
tion should return to the prob

crisis. . ..
The sudden loss of support
from a large segment of the As

Pineau's , previous high hopes

Man:
Given, Suspended,
As Leniency Asked
Lack of Criminal
Intent Cited by DA
Circuit Judge Orval J- Mil
lard yesterday afternoon sen
tenced Fred Warden to a five
year term in the state peniten
tiary. He then suspended the
sentence after hearing reports
on the defendant, the back
ground of the case, and several
appeals for leniency. ;.
Warden, 31, who - lives at
route 1, box 350K, Medford,
earlier pleaded guilty to a
charge of manslaughter. It was
filed following the death of
Philip Stephen Minear, 12, son
of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Minear,
route 1, box 331, Medford. War
den was hunting and one of his
shots fatally wounded the boy
and injured a companion.
Judge Millard also fined War
den $500, and forbade him to
carry or use firearms in Oregon,
except in self defense.
District Attorney Walter Nun
ley was among those who asked
the court for leniency. Nunley
said he was "fully aware of the
seriousness of . the crime," but
added that Warden is not the
type usually associated with
criminal offenses. "The essence
of the charge was negligence,"
Nunley stated, "and no criminal
intent was involved."
Nunley cited Warden's ': "ex
treme remorse" for the shooting,
and his willingness to do what
ever' he could to make amends.
The district attorney pointed out
that Oregon laws expressly state
that reformation of those con
victed is the primary purpose of
sentences, with punishment sec
ondary. The crime itself, , h
said, was -"the result of great1
stupidity."
'One Tragedy Enough' v
Nunley concluded by saying
that "anything else - but a leni
ency recommendation, would be
a shirking of responsibility to
the court and community," and
that "one tragedy arising out of
the crime is enough."
Warden is married and the fa
ther of two small children.11;
The Rev. D. Kirkland West,
minister of the ; Medford First
Presbyterian church, testified to
Warden's good character and
reputation, and also asked
Judge Millard for leniency.
The judge, in imposing sen
tence, commented on the court's
responsibility to -consider both
sides of the law, justice and
mercy, and pointed out that the
report of the state board of pa
role and probation confirmed
the statements of Nunley and
Mr. West. Defense Attorney
John Dellenback also spoke in
behalf of Warden.
Six other cases came before
Judge Millard yesterday.
; Mrs. Odessa Evelyn Campbell
Mires Davis, 35, Phoenix, who
was charged with polygamy,
was placed on probation and
passage of sentence was sus
pended for two years. - .
; - Aaron Francis Gentry, 25 j of
42V4 Third st., Ashland, was
sentenced ; to six weeks in jail
for furnishing liquor to a minor.
Frank Sylvester Jantzer, 19,
Prospect, pleaded guilty to con
tributing to the delinquency of
minor girls, and Donal Neal
Ware, 20, San Dimas, Calif.,
pleaded guilty to forgery. Then
cases were continued pending
the receipt of records from the
Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Pleads Guilty
Milton Edward Wallace, 18,
Box 55, Phoenix, charged with
larceny from a building, plead
ed guilty. His '-cause " was con
tinued for sentencing until Feb.
25, as was the case of George
Edison Moore, 23, route 1, box
671, Central Point, charged with
probation violation.
Oscar Freeman Stallsworth
Jr. 20, Grants Pass, charged
with a Rogue River burglary,
also will appear Feb. 25.

Methods of Cheating
Atom Fallout Menace
Tolcl by Government
Washington U- (U.R) The H
bomb can kill a. city. It also is a
fact, now- officially confirmed,
that it can poison a region of
thousands of square miles and
jeopardize lives far from the
cratered ruin of the central tar
get. But your government has a
word of comfort for you.
; "In the event an enemy should
resort to radiological warfare
against us," the government
knows what to expect. And it
knows there ' are many things
you can do to protect yourself. '
Assuming you are not caught
in the deadly circle of total' de
struction by H-bomb blast and
heat, you can save yourself from
that other H-bomb killer radio
active fallout.
Secrets Revealed ' , -
That is the official promise of
the Atomic Energy Commission.
The AEC has revealed hitherto
secret facts about the H-bomb's
ability to rain death' upon popu
lations too far from target even
to feel a whisper of the super
weapon's unparalleled violence.
An H-bomb comparable in
power to the "thermonuclear
device" tested by : the United
States at Bikini last March 1 can
contaminate an area of 7,000
square miles, the AEC said. A
In that , event, your survival
might depend "upon prompt
evacuation of the area or upon
taking shelter and other protec
tive measures." ,
Bath, Change Suggested
But, the AEC said, "there are
many simple and highly effec
tive precautionary measures"
which can keep you from becom
ing a casualty if you are caught
in such a fallout area.
The simplest of these, if you're
outdoors, is to go inside. Another
is: Take a bath and' change
clothes. By such means, taking
shelter," and "decontaminating"
yourself, you can do much to
cheat the menace of fallout. ,

' Bern, Switzerland t (U.R)
Three desperate anti-Reds who
seized the Romanian legation
building and held- it for more
than 40 hours surrendered today
to the pleas of a priest. t--
They surrendered without the
"fight to the death'l they had
promised earlier. v, ,
They had defied 100 Swiss
troops and police for nearly two
days in a desperate bid to force
Communist Romania to ' release
five anti-Communist political
prisoners held in Red jails.
The surrender came only 30
minutes before a deadline set
by the Swiss government for the
end of their defiant stand. Other
wise, they were warned, troops
and police would attack the yel
low sandstone Legation. Two
anti-tank guns stood nearby to
back up the. warning.
Call for Priest
The three men, who had
sworn an oath to die or win re
lease for their anti-Red com
patriots, called for a priest.
Swiss authorities : said they
told them they wanted to discuss
with the priest release from
their holy vows before deciding
whether or not surrender was
possible.
They had been promised they
would be spared extradition to
their Communist homeland. But
the men, and a fourth member
of the band who surrendered
earlier, ; must y stand trial in
Switzerland for the - slaying of

killed when they shot their way

Dr. I Beat : Lorenz Sekinger of
Bern's Trinity Church, called on
the men after they had told
authorities they wanted to make
their peace with God and seek
a priest's absolution before
shooting it out with the assault
force.
" .The Roman. Catholic priest
strode throueh the nolice lines
and entered the building to hear
the plea of the men for forgive-'
ness. , '
He stayed with them for 15
minutes, then left the villa.
The anti-Communists march

with their faces masked by the
hoods of their parkas.
