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.

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.
Sheriff's deputies said the
body had what appeared to be a
knife wound in the chest. It
was lying face down in a pool
of blood when it was discov
ered. 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. An Army fatigue
jacket with the name "M. H.
Berghauser" stenciled on it was
found in the car along with some
bloody towels and an undershirt.

lecture platform, the church,

sities and colleges."
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."

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.

home loving man until the hor

Increase in Hog
Slaughter Expected
Sunday, November 13, 1955
O
MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE
Chicago (U.R) J. 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.
