! litor Use 0 Says Atomic akes Possible f Censorship Fort Worth, Tex. (U.R) A noted editor-publisher said Fri day night that the atomic age has made possible the use of censorship to cover personal and official mistakes in government. Palmer Hoyt of the Denver (Colo.) Post said that censorship Saturday was "a particularly pertinent danger" because of the need for secrecy in connection with the atomic bomb, and "be cause of the march of the to talitarians." Hoyt spoke to an audience of some 400, as. he inaugurated a lecture series at Texas Christ ian University. The lectures are Earned in honor of the school's president, Dr. M. E. Salder, and are known as the "M. E. Salder Freedom Lectures." Basic Freedom Hoyt called freedom of the press "our most basic freedom," and said it was "license and , command to let the trumpets blow so that the people may be awarned that danger nears." Hoyt, winner of the first Zenger Freedom of the Press Award in 1954, called on the press to spearhead a drive against censorship. "There are many other threats" he said, "such as ra cism and religious conflict; -there is one threat that is al ways with us perhaps most important of all, censorship. . "In this area mass communi cations must act in accord the Man's Body Found In Abandoned Car Trunk Yakima, Wash. (U.R) A gar age mechanic Saturday found the body of a 25 to 30-year-old man stuffed into the trunk of a car which had been abandoned near the Yakima Fair Grounds three days ago, the Yakima county sheriff's office reported.

Officers said the victim has not been identified. The car was registered to Hollis Boone of Shafter, Calif. The body was clad only in a pair of OD Army pants, offic ers said.

New Classes The Denver editor-publisher said a Congressional committee in Washington has disclosed that about 30 new classifications have been created to keep non security government informa tion from the public. "Here is an era which needs attention, exposure and remedy, and Jiere is a vacuum into which the press can move most effec tively. God grant they have the wit and will to do just that," Hoyt added. He said Sen. Joseph McCar thy (R-Wis.) represented another type of threat "a threat direct ed not only at the press, but at education as well." - . i ini i in i v FOR THE BIRDS Montpelier, Vt. (U.R) A Ver mont state senator filed a reso lution that was "strictly for the birds." It called upon the Gov ernor to appoint a state ornithol ogist (bird expert) to serve with out pay. Investigation Reveals Worden's Car Not On Beach San Antonio, Tex. (U.R) A sheriff's officer said Saturday his investigation has discounted re ports that a wealthy San Antonio woman's car was on Padre island at the time she said she shot her "Svengali" husband with a diamond-encrusted .22 caliber pis tol. Sheriff investigator Oscar Warnke said a blue 1955 Cadillac reported seen on the sandy island at the time and place Don Worden was slain is not the blue Cadillac owned by the dead man's bride of two months. Mrs. Violet Canales Worden said her husband had hypnotized her and forced her to dig a grave for herself and her five-year-old daughter, Maria, on Oct. 22. She said she shot him instead and buried him in the sand. Fishing Trip Mrs. Worden told Warnke and Texas Ranger Zeno Sith that the trio went on a fishing trip at that time in a station wagon. Warnke said he took scrapings from under Mrs. Worden's Cadillac and found only cliche and no beach sand, and no evi dence the car had been near the beach within recent weeks. Nueces county authorities were informed that a car fitting the description of Mrs. Worden's was seen on the beach ne,ar the death scene and that two women were observed one having a pis tol. Two unidentified witnesses said they heard shots after wards, but thought the women were target shooting. Warnke said he had obtained permission to inspect the Worden car and home from a real estate agent, who has the house listed for sale.

Father of Murdered Boys Dies of a Heart Attack Chicago (U.R) Anton Schuessler, who could find no peace after the murder of his two sons and their neighborhood ptl, has joined them as the kil lers' fourth victim. The 42-year-old tailor's heart cracked Friday, 26 days after the mutilated bodies of his two boys and their friend were found dumped in a forest pre serve ditch. His wife, now utterly alone in the world, said Schuessler died of a broken heart. The official report said teat Schuessler died of an apparent heart attack while undergoing treatment a few hours after he had entered a suburban rest home for a complete rest. Happy Man Tony Schuessler was a happy, home loving man until the hor ror slaying of his boys, John 13, and Anton Jr., 11. He had never suffered from heart trouble.

Russell Ives, associate director of the marketing department of the American Meat institute, said Saturday an 11 per cent increase in federally inspected hog slaughter is expected for the marketing year 1955-56. Ives addressed the AMI's 50th annual meeting. He said that in the year running from last Au gust to next July, slaughter is expected to be about 63,500,000 head, the. largest 12-month total since the 1951-52 marketing year. For the year to date, he said, federally inspected pork produc tion is up 13 per cent over 1954 and hog slaughter has been more than 1,500,000 head for each of the past three weeks, an average increase of 23 per cent over last year. Ives said the large supplies "have resulted in a sharp decline in hog prices, and many ob servers have wondered if a sub stantial cutback in production might not take "place in 1956. The little bit of evidence we have thus far indicates that this is not happening." Spring lambs, marketed be fore July 1 bring higher prices because they are off the farm before parasites and hot weather take their toll.

Federal Maritime Board Hearings In Honolulu Monday San Francisco (U.R) A Fed eral Maritime board hearing will open in Honolulu Monday on applications by Pacific Far East Lines and American President Lines to open trade routes be tween the West Coast and the islands. Hearing Examiner F. J. Horan closed the Pacific Coast por tion of the proceedings Friday after hearing four weeks of testimony. Horan said Neil Laidlaw, scheduled as the final witness for the Matson Navigation com pany, will testify in Washington, D. C, at a later date. Matson is spearheading opposition to the applications. A majority of Friday's testi mony was given by W. Russell Starr, freight and traffic man ager of Castle Cook and Com- any and a former member of the Hawaiian Legislature. Influx of Tourists Starr said that even with a great influx of tourists during the next few years, he doubted that there would be any impact on the amount of cargo now be ing carried to the islands. He outlined what he felt the forecasts would be and indicat ed that there has been a stabili zation of most activity in Hawaii over the past several years. Under questioning by Matson attorney Willis Deming, Starr said that movement of the Army's 25th Division from the islands would mean a loss of about 30 million dollars annual ly to the Hawaiian economy. His answer was objected to by PFEL attorney Odell Kom iners on grounds he was not an expert on the subject. Kominers asked that his answer be stricken from the record.
