Former Red Poland
Boss Is Released
London (U.R) Radio Warsaw
said Saturday Wladyslaw Go
mulko, former Communist boss
and vice premier of Red Poland,
has been released from prison
apparently as a new act of Com
munist contrition f5r Stalin-age
sins.
The broadcast did not say
when Gomulko -was released or
give any details of his present
whereabouts.
Earlier, Radio Budapest had
announced the release of Ilona
Nyilas, United Press Correspond
ent in the Hungarian capital,
from the prison where she was
serving three years as a "spy and
subversive plotter."
The Budapest broadcast said
Miss Nyilas was freed Wednes
day, on Hungarian "Liberation
Day." It gave no clue to the fate
of her husband, Associated Press
Budapest correspondent Endre
Marton, who was jailed at the
same time on similar charges'.
Gomulko was one of a number
of satellite Communist leaders
jailed or executed in 1948 and
1949 for "Titoism" defiance of
orders from the late Premier
Josef Stalin's regime in Moscow.
Several have been released or,
if dead, "rehabilitated" since the
Kremlin launched its current
"Down With Stalin" campaign.

signed to the
1100th Secur
ity Squadron
o f headquar
ters command
Harmao Nichols
here at Bol-
ing Field,
, These hand-picked e n li s t e d
men can do more with a rifle
than a Tennessee squirrel-hunt
er, except that these kids don't
shoot unless the occasion de
mands. They merely show their
skill with the manual of arms,
done on the split of a second.
When occasion demands the
boys are ready to act as what
they are basically air police
men. In times of emergency the
squadron is elected to guard spe
cial government agencies in the
Washington area. And don't
challenge 'em. Those rifles they
carry can go off, too.
Highly Praised
The squadron of 75 airmen
hardly ever gets a breather.
Folks all over the country want
to see their precision executions.
They have caught the hand clap,
since their founding in 1950, of
the President of the United
States. Also the presidents of
Italy, France, Mexico, Ecuador,
Chile, Brazil, Turkey and Pan
ama. The king and queen of
Greece liked them, and so did
the queen of Britain and Sir
Winston Churchill.
Just any old body can't get
into the select group.
Each man assigned is a vol
unteer. He meets rigid require
ments. There is the proper mili
tary bearing, fine Air Force rec
ord, the smile of the pro, and
he must not be less than five-10,
nor taller than six-one.
Once accepted, the kids catch
it. They must practice the pitch
ing of rifles and the footwork
three to four hours a day. They
must go through rigid calisthen
ics before breakfast.
A trainee isn't sure like the
baseball rookie in spring train
ing that he will make the
team.
There are all sorts of difficult
maneuvers all of them invent

As Circus
Goes On In Garden
New York (U.R) The cir
cus went on Friday night minus
three of its most famous clowns
and the regular ringmaster, shut
out by picket lines.
Whether the greatest show on
earth would put on its three per
formances Saturday was a mat
ter of speculation.
Pickets representing the Am
erican Guild of Variety Artists
and the International Brother
hood of Teamsters began walk
ing in front of the entrances of
Madison Square Garden early
Saturday on a 24-hour basis in
hopes of shutting down the cir
cus entirely. The unions accuse
the Ringling Brothers and Barn
um and Bailey Circus of unfair
labor practices.
Lifted Order
A city Supreme Court justice
Friday lifted an order banning
picketing and union pickets im
mediately resumed their march
of protest around the garden.
Their presence prevented three
clowns Emmett Kelly, Otto
Griebling, and Felix Adler and
ringmaster Preston Lambert
from taking part in Friday
night's show.
The unions said that begin
ning Saturday they would main
tain continuous picketing and
hoped to keep out all unionized
employes, including ticket tak
ers, electricians and the like.
They also hoped to stop the de
livery of supplies.
The attendance at Friday
night's performance was esti
mated at 8,000. The capacity of
the garden is 14,000. Circus
spokesmen said the New York
stand always starts slowly and
then picks up.
Valuation Correction
Petitions Available
Petitions for correction of as
sessed valuations on real or per
sonal property are available to
property owners at the county
clerk's office in the courthouse,
according to County Clerk Mrs.
Bereth Hopkins.
The petitions may be filed
with the clerk any time through
the first week of the board of
equalization meetings which be
gin May 14.
The law requires, that the
board meet daily until examina
tion and correction of assess
ment rolls are completed.
Board members are County
Judge Rodney Keating, Arnold
Bohnert of Central Point and
E. H. Singmaster of Ashland.

Take the most spectacular of
their maneuvers the "Minute
March." All done with a silent
single command. In one minute
there are 120 separate move
ments, at two changes a second.
You have to see to believe. It
takes good men to execute
them.
The Air Force boys almost
never goof.
The leader of the teams is
S-Sgt. Jack F. Wilson, who is
called a drill instructor. Jack is
a handsome young man and
proud of his flying suit. He has
been with the Air Force for
eight years, a rifle fan from way

the drill team for only three and
a half years.

Riesel Given Hope
To Regain Sight
New York (U.R) Doctors
Saturday gave labor columnist
Victor Riesle hope that he will
regain his sight despite injuries
suffered when a mysterious as
sailant dashed acid in his eyes.
Dr. G. Bonaccolto, director of
St. Clare's hospital eye division,
announced that there is a "good
chance" that Riesel's vision can
be saved although "he's not out
of the woods yet." Bonaccolto re
ported that Riesel was much bet
ter mentally and physically.
Authorities questioned three
more unidentified persons this
morning, bringing to 21 the
number of those questioned
about the attack which occurred
on Broadway early Thursday.
Detectives also were attempt
ing to trace the origin of a small,
wide-lipped brown bottle which
was found in the gutter at the
scene of the attack. It still con
tained a small amount of sul
phuric acid but bore no finger
prints, police said.
Authorities were studying
transcripts of recent broadcasts
made by Riesel to obtain the
names of racketeers and labor
figures whom he had attacked.
The long list included such names
as Abner (Longy) Zwillman,
Anthony (Tony Ducks) Carallo,
and Joey Fay.

ike Resumes Ceremony of
Receiving Credentials
Washington (U.R) President
Eisenhower Saturday resumed
the old ceremony of personally
receiving the credentials of new
ambassadors for the first time
since his heart attack.
The President planned to re
ceive the credentials of Ambas
sador George Arthur Padmore
of Liberia at ceremonies at the
White House.
Padmore denied rerxrts that
Liberia has agreed to a pact of
friendship with Russia or has ac
cepted recent Russian offers of
economic aid.
The ambassador released a
statement from Liberian Presi
dent William V. Tubman declar
ing Liberia "has never been for
sale, neither will the Liberian
people barter their integrity."
The traditional White House
ceremony of receiving ambas
sadors was one of the functions
dropped from the President's
schedule after his heart attack
in September to ease the burden
on him during his recuperation.
Since September 13 envoys
have presented their credentials
at the State department. The
necessary o f fi c i a 1 documents
were forwarded to the President
for signing. ;-
