Perjury Charged To Icardi
In Death of Maj. Holohan
Washington (U.R) A fed
eral Grand Jury today indicted
former Army Lt. Aldo Icardi on
eight counts of perjury growing
outof the mysterious' slaying
of Maj. William V. Holohan in
World War II.
Cloak and Dagger Slaying
The indictment charged that
Icardi, now a Pittsburgh lawyer,
perjured himself in testimony be
fore a House Armed Services
subcommittee in 1953. Icardi
stated at the hearing that Holo
han was killed by an enemy
band that attacked a mission that
the major was leading behind
enejiy lines in Italy.
Holohan was slain in 1944
while of) a top secret cloak and
dagger mission of the Office of
Stytegic services. His body was
no discovered until 1949 when
armored cars through the native
quarters of Casablanca, Rabat,
Fe and other big cities.
Glantzberg sent a message to
his forces outlining a precaution
ary security plan for the crucial
two weeks ahead which may
mark the beginning of peace in
Morocco or open rebellion
against French rule.
"We are in no danger and
there is no anti-American feel
ings," Glantzberg said. "But spec
ial care will be needed through
the next weeks' probable in

Portland lUR) More than
2500 Democrats yesterday
flocked to Jantzen Beach Park
here for the party's, annual ,njc-

Morse promised that in the
next Congress he would make a

Leaves Dick Haymes
Hollywood (U.R) Rita Hay-
worth, who stuck by crooner
Dick Haymes through two years
of trouble, walked out on him
today "for the best interests of
my children."
The much publicized couple
admitted the fracture in their
two-year-old marriage and
Haymes blamed it simply on
"pressures."
"I don't know at this time that
the separation is final," Rita
said.
Haymes refused to discuss
what he and( his glamorous" film
star wife had argued over but
one report was that the spat in
volved his management of her
career.
Haymes, after first denying
there was any rift in his mar
riage to the glamorous actress,
finally broke- down and ad
mitted he had troubles once
again.
Friends of the couple said the
break-up came out of an uproar
ious dispute Saturday night
after which she flounced out in
a rage claiming he used physical
force.
Rita's friends said the rift was
"irreparable."
it was found in a weighted sleep

Qrta.
An Italian court ruled in 1953
that Holohan's death was plotted
by Icardi and former Sgt. Carl
Lodolce of Rochester, N.Y., but
U.S. courts refused to extradite
the two men.
New Investigation
The U.S. government opened
a new investigation into the 11-year-old
slaying last Aug. 15
when the Justice Department
put the case before a Grand Jury.
Thirteen Italians, including
three priests, and the police lieu
tenant who recovered Holohan's
body from the lake, were sum
moned to testify. The jury's re
port today charged that Icardi
lied to the House committee in
vestigating Holohan's death.

To Water Resource
Board by Governor
Study Planned
For Efficient Use
Salem (U.R) Gov. Paul Li
Patterson today appointed seven
members of the new State Water
Resources Board, considered one
of the most important bodies to
be created by the State Legisla
ture in many years.
The board will have vast
power over water resources of
Oregon and will undertake a
study with a view jtoward get
ting the most efficient use out of
those resources. Many Legisla
tors consider creation of the
board the most important piece
of legislation passed by the 1955
session.
Board Members
Named to the board are: Rob
ert H. Foley, Bend attorney, a
member of the Upper Columbia
River Basins Commission and
experienced in the field of recla
mation; Professor Fred Merry
field, Professor of Sanitary En
gineering at Oregon State Col
lege and associated with a private
engineering firm dealing with
cities on sanitation problems; H.
E. Maxey, Springfield newspaper
publisher, member of the Wil
lamette Valley Basin Commis
sion for the past nine years and
long interested in conservation;
John Davis, Stayton insurnace
man formerly with the Bonne
ville Power Administration and
long experienced with hydro
electric problems; Wayne Phil
lips of Baker, prominent rancher
and cattleman,, and a student of
land and water problems; Robert
Root of Medford, farmer and
orchardist, former member of
the State House of Representa
tives and active in reclamation
projects; and L. C. Binford of
Portland, -past . president -of the
Izaak Walton League, active
sportsman and resource conser
vationist.
Members appointed by Gov.
Patterson must be confirmed by
a two-thirds . vote of the 1957
Oregon Senate.
Disarmament Talks
Start in New York
New York U.R) The dis
armament . conference opening
at the United Nations today
brings East and West together
for the first time in nine years
with new ideas for laying down
their arms.
The Big Four powers-United
States, Russia, Britain and
France each are equipped with
disarmament plans. All four are
different.
It is hoped that out of the four
some realistic program will
emerge from reducing the bur
den of military costs on both
sides of the Iron Curtain.
And at the same time reduce
the chance that civilization will
destroy itself in a nuclear war.
The experts see only a fair
chance that the disarmament
conference -under U.N. auspices
will succeed, despite the inter
national fair weather created at
the Summit Conference in Ge-
eva.
There is still a wide gap be
tween. Russia's determination to
outlaw nuclear weapons entire
ly and the West's belief that the
A-bomb and H-bomb are its chief
protection against the vast man
power of the Communist world.

Sultan Would Be
Ousted Under Plan
Appeasement Hoped
By French Premier
Paris (U.R) The French Cab

posals-of Premier, Edgar Faure
for ending the bloody Moroccan
uprising. .
The decision to support Faure
was taken in a stormy 13-hour
Cabinet session which at times
threatened to topple his govern
ment. -
Faure's plan calls for the oust
er of both the French Resident
General Gilbert Grandval, who
is hated by French colonials and
right wing elements of Parlia
ment for his "soft" policy in
Morocco, and Sultan Sidi Mo
hammed Moulay Ben Araf a,
who is bitterly attacked by the
Moroccan Nationalists.
The Premier hopes by the two
moves to appease both the Na
tionalists and the French who
have . demanded a more stern
policy toward them by the resi
dent general.
Successor Selected
The Cabinet finally agreed to
Faure's formula after a 10-hour
session, broken for a few hours
sleep and resumed for another
three hours this morning.
Informed sources said the Cab
inet agreed to accept Grandval's
resignation within the next day
or two and will appoint Tunis
ian Resident General Pierre
Boyer de la Tour to take his
place.
If he accepts, the government
will ask Boyer de la Tour to
leave for Rabat Thursday to as
sume his difficult new post.
He served as resident general
in the sister French North Afri
can protectorate of, Tunisia
while the difficult home rule
agreement for that .area was ne
gotiated there.
