Surgeon Tortured by
Sadistic Burglar;
Both Hands Mangled
Evansville, Ind. (U.R) A
wealthy surgeon said today he
thinks he can still perform op
erations even though his hands
were mangled by a sadistic bur
glar. However Dr. Justis F. Wynn's
medical colleagues weren't so
sure. They said the torturer had
gouged chunks of flesh from
the -year-old doctor's hands
and had left deep marks on his
fingers.
The doctor may be injured
much more seriously than he
believes, they said.

Oregon Seen Good
Portland (U.R) The ex
ceptionally heavy snow fall in
Oregon this year will mean
"good" to "abundant" spring
and summer water supplies the
U.S. Soil Conservation Service
said today. The record breaking
depth of snow in the mountains
also may mean flooding inmany
areas this spring, W. T. Frost,
Oregon snow survey supervisor,
said.
W(Jer content of snow above
5000 feet is 140 per cent of the
year average and below the
5000 foot level the. water con
tent is 150 per cent of the aver
age. Record-breaking snows
be measured in the
Rogue-Klamath area and in the
Wallowa mountains.
Reservoired water supplies
are generally excellent. Other
reservoirs are assured adequate
inflow from the present snow
cover, Frost said.
Stored water in 20 important
irrigation reservoirs is 44 per
cent greater than last year " at
pthis time and 9 per cent above
average. '
Spring water flows are ex
pected to equal or surpass rec
ord highs in the Malheur, Burnt,
Powder, Imnaha, Wallowa, Ap
plegate, John Day, Grande Ron
de, Illinois, Rogue, Klamath and
Warner Lake basins.
1 yesterday by a gunman who
stole S3000 and then tortured
j him ir an attempt to get more.
S Donald Lockwood, 31, neph
j ew of Wynn's brother-in-law,
was arrested on an anonymous
I tip one hour later. He denied
the attack and Wynn was to
view him in a police lineup to
day. Wynn said he was alone in
his home and asleep after re
turning from a Florida vaca
tion when he heard a voice ask
ing "where is your money:"
"I was sure that it was a gun
pressing against my stomach,"
the husky doctor said. He esti
mated its position and "grab
bed for both the gun and the
man."
The two men lurched around,
the room in a deadly struggle.
Then the gun went off, missing
the doctor, and he relaxed his
grip. The burglar slugged him
and Wynn "went down dazed."
Wrists Bound
"At this point my wrists were
bound and ankles taped," he
said. "The robber then rolled
me over on my face and told me
Tm going to use these pliers on
your fingers until you tell me
Where the rest of the money is.
He tried to get a grip on my
thumbnails but the pliers slip
ped off. Then he started work
ing on the flesh of my fingers.
It felt as if he was pinching the
flesh off my hands.
"I told him 'I make a living
with these hands if I had any
money in the house I'd tell you
where it was. But I don't have
any'."
The gunman finally gave up
his torture and left.

which helped Holt cut through
red tape to bring the 12 chil
dren to the United States last
year.

COM
PAN
Washington (U.R) Back
ers anj opponents of high, rigid
price supports for basic . farm
crops were cool today to a com
promise proposal to return to
90 per cent of parity supports
for this year only.
The compromise feeler advan
ced as the Senate neared a
showdown on a Democratic bill
to provide for 90 per cent sup
ports this year and next year
for corn, cotton, peanuts, mill
able wheat and rice consumed
domestically.
Sen. Francis Case, (R-S.D.),
said that he probably would of
fer an amendment calling for
90 per cent supports for this
year only if the reaction of
enough senators is favorable.
Compromise Rejected
But leaders in the farm bill
fight abruptly rejected the com
promise. Chairman Allen J. El
lender (D-La.), of the Senate
Agriculture committee said he
will stick with his committee's
bill in its preesent form.; Sen.
George D. Aiken (D-Vt.), leader
of the flexible support forces,
said that President Eisenhower
wouldn't sign a farm bill calling
for 90 per cent ' supports for
either one or two years.
Voting will start on the farm
measure tomorrow with the
first vote on the price support
issue. The administration oppos
es ditching the present flexible
price support program in favor
of 90 per cent supports.
Both 90 per cent and flexible
support forces claimed to have
lined up enough votes to win.
But they agreed the outcome
would be close and might be
changed by last-minute decis
ions of a few senators.
Strenuous Schedule
Senate leaders set up a stren
uous schedule in an effort to get
a final vote on the measure be
fore adjournment Friday. De
bate continued until 9:39 (EST)
last night. Another late session
was probable tonight.
These two late sessions are
designed to give senators an op
portunity to get speeches into
the record before voting starts.
But they knew there was virtu
ally no chance of the speeches
influencing any votes. At last
night's session Sen. Hubert
Humphrey (D-Minn.), who fav
ors the bill, spoke to an aud
ience that included only himself
and the presiding officer.
