Lack of Cooperation
Blamed for Failure
Of 'Clamp Down' Here
SOUL-SEARCHING William A. Cowart, Dalton, Ga., one
of three turncoats enroutc home from Communist "hell"
in Red China, appears in this soul-searching pose as he con
centrates deeply during Lutheran Church services in Hono
lulu. He and two other turncoat GIs stopped over for 14
hours here on their way home to an uncertain fate.
Pentagon Confused;
Future of Turncoats
Said Still in Doubt
Washington (U.R) Apparent
confusion within the Pentagon
today left still in doubt the fu
ture of three turncoat ex-GIs
who defected to Red China and
then decided to return home.
An army spokesman said last
night the three would be arrested
for courtmartial as soon as their
ship docks in San Francisco Fri
day. No Decision Reached
But a Defense Department
pokesman said today the matter
till is being investigated by the
Defense and Justice Departments
nd that no decision has been
reached on what action to take.
The spokesman said the Army
fource did not consult the De
fense Department before his un
official discussion with the press
bout the turncoat's future.
The ex-prisoners William A.
Cowart, 22, Dalton, Ga.: Lewis
W. Griggs, 22, Jacksonville, Tex.,
and Otho G. Bell, 24. Olympia.
Wash. are on the last leg of
their ocean voyage home from
Bed China.
To Tell Charges
The Army said officers would
board their ship the President
Cleveland with customs inspec
tors and immigration officials
before it docks. The spokesman
said the trio would be sum
moned, informed they are under
military arrest and told oi tne
charges against them.
The spokesman said the
charges would include aiding the
enemy and misconduct as prisoners.
Colombia Newspaper
Censorship Studied
Bogota, Colombia (U.R) The
National Press Commission took
under consideration today the
censorship order clamped on El
Tiempo, Colombia's leading
newspaper.
- El Tiempo reported Monday
that the government had direct
ed it to submit to prior censor
ship every article appearing in
its editorial page, and any news
reports dealing with disturb
ances of the public order.
An executive decree issued in
1949 empowered the govern
ment to impose press censorship.
Application of the decree has
been suspended since 1953, however.
District Attorney Walter Nun
ley told a group of Medford
businessmen yesterday noon that
the law is only as good as the
community support it receives.
He spoke at an informal Cham
ber of Commerce roundtable
luncheon.
Nunley, when questioned
about enforcement of the cur
few and minor liquor possession
laws, stated that not too long
ago his office decided to attempt
a clamped-down policy. Sheriff's
officers and state police brought
in groups of violators every
night and built cases from their
statements, Nunley said.
But when brought into district
court, they received only a 20
minute lecture and perhaps a S5
to S20 fine. Their parents were
called in, but were irate at the
district attorney not their chil
dren. Aiter a time the offenders
formed a "Ben Cot" club, Nun-,
ley said, and it became a distinc- I
tion to have "been caught" on a ;
liquor violation. I
Therefore, the campaign was i
dropped. j
The district attorney also ,
pointed out that officers are hesi-;
tant about making arrests wnen
there is question as to a person's
being a minor, because oi me
possibility that parents win sue
for false arrest.
Nunlev noted that prior to
January, 1953, no concrete ac
tion had been taken in jaexson
county to prosecute false check
crimes. Since then, his office has
adopted what the check passers
term a "hard-nosed" policy and
reduced by almost 50 per cent
the number of bad check com
plaints filed.
Civil Work Cited
He said that the district at
torney's office does a great deal
of civil work in offering legal
opinions to county officers. Last
year 22 written opinions were
given.
Nunley declared that his of
fice, and other county law en
forcement agencies, are under
staffed. He observed that last
year only two counties in the
state, Multnomah and Lane, had
a greater volume of district at
torney action. Lane county of
fice, he remarked, is stalled oy
a district attorney and four depu
ties and had only a 12 per cent
greater volume than Jackson.
Nunley has only one deputy,
Gene Piazza.
Multiple Relief
Comes for Cashier
Chicago (U.R) A young
woman walked into a cur
rency exchange here and told
the cashier:
"I'm your relief. You can
take off."
She then "relieved" the ex
change of S9.100, police said.
Horseflies Swarm
Over Japan Workers
Ojiya, Japan (U.R) Con
struction workers appealed for
help from scientists today to
combat daily attacks by swarms
of biting horseflies
As many as 500 horseflies at
ence have swarmed about indi
vidual workers. They are slow
ing down work on a road
through the hills near here to
bring supplies to the power de
velopment project at Okuta
dami, northwest of Tokyo.
