SISKT MCCrOKO fOMOOlf) HaymesDeportalion Case Loses Ground Under New Ruling San Francisco (U.R) Thegov ernment's deportation ease against crooner Dick Haymes lost strength Saturday because of a recent ruling of the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in the case of an obscure Filipino fisherman. Haymes, Argentine-born hus band of actress Rita Hayworth, was arrested for deportation on Aug. 6, 1953, a month after his return from a whirlwind trip to Hawaii during his courtship of the film star. He had previously been de clared an alien ineligible for citizenship because he allegedly avoided the draft in 1944 by de claring he waa a citizen of a neutral country. The U.S. Immigration Service claimed Haymes tailed to get a formal permit "to reenter the country" upon his return from Hawaii and thus was subject to deportation under terms of the McCarran-Walter Immigration Act. Case Undermined However, the federal appellate court in San Francisco under mined the government's case against the singer 12 days ago when it handed down a decision in a case parallel to the Haymes situation. The ruling, written by Circuit Judge William Healy, reversed a deportation order against Fili pino fisherman Alejandro Raca Alcantra, who left Seattle to go to Alaska for the fishing season and was picked up for deporta tion upon his return. The opinion, concurred in by Circuit Judge Walter T. Pope and District Judge Oliver 8. Hamlin, held that a territory was not "foreign soil" under the meaning of the McCarran Act, so that the fisherman could have not been considered to have left the United States. Matter Of Exclusion Judge Healy told the United Press that if the Haymes case was merely a matter of exclu sion for illegal reentry from Hawaii "then I see no reason why the Alcantra decision would not control that case." At his Malibu Beach home near Hollywood, Haymes, who married Rita in a much -publicized Las Vegas ceremony on Sept. 24, 1953, was jubilant when informed of the San Francisco court's ruling. "That's wonderful," he said. "I will contact my lawyer in Washington right away. If Judge Healy went on record about that ruling, it probably would apply to mine."

Helens School Rated Not-Standard St. Helens (U.R) St. Helens high school plant and furniture have been rated "not-standard" in a report made -by the state department of education. Equip ment and supplies were also in- clluded in the ''not-standard" category. This means a plan of plant improvement acceptable to the state department of education must be submitted in 90 days if the school is to participate in basic school fund distribution. This year St. Helens received about $120,000 from the state fund. -: U.S. Warned by General Against Stalemate Policy Los Angeles U.R) Gen. Nathan F. Twining, Air Force Chief of staff, said Friday night 'there is nothing in history to in dicate that the United States and Russia could reach a "nuclear stalemate," and he warned "we must stay ahead to remain free." Twining, in a pre-Armed Forc es Day address before Los An geles Rotarians, said he was sure the United States was still ahead of Russia in air power, but he expressed concern over Soviet advances in long range bomber production. Gives Real Concern "The air plane that gives us real reason for concern," he said, "is the Soviet long range jet heavy bomber. Last year they showed us one. This year, in the rehearsals for May Day, there were flights of more of these long range jets enough that we have to accept a rate of pro duction." Twining said, "They have the ability to produce nuclear wea pons and first-class aircraft to carry them." He also said the Russians have started producing turbo-prop aircraft this year, further up setting the United States' esti mate of their production capab ilities. Scorns Stalemate The general scorned the idea of a nuclear stalemate. "There is nothing in history to indicate that stalemate is possible," he said, and the problem facing the United States is to stay ahead and keep the lead in the arma ment race. A ban on nuclear weapons alone, Twining said, would hand the Soviets "a tremendous ad vantage" because of their sup erior numbers in manpower and army materiel. Such a ban would mean the Air Force would have to triple or possibly quadruple its Strategic Air Command. Portland, Ore.

Army Gives Up Gl Following 'Seige' By Police Officers Winthrop, Mass.

The warrant couldn't be found. Refused Custody Police Lt. Henry J. Roberts and three town selectment were politely refused custody of Schmidt, because they 'didn't have the warrant. They said Pumphrett had the warrant. "I'll go find him," Roberts said. Two hours later Pumphrett was located and rushed to the gate.
