Indochina 'General'
Dies on Guillotine
Cant Ho, Indochina (U.R)
A 32-year-old rebel "general"
who once vowed he would never
cut his hair until he had defeated
the French died today on a
French guillotine.
But ironically it was not the
French who executed rebel leader
Ba Cut. An impassive Vietnamese
executioner, one of his own
country-men, released the blade
which sliced off the head of the
self-styled general.
Ba Cut, former leader of the
quasi-religious Hoa Hao sect,
was found guilty of treason by
three separate Vietnamese courts
last month and was sentenced to
death.
Democrats Seize Dixon-Yates
Contract as Issue in Campaign
Washington (U.R) Demo
crats today seized as a ripe cam
paign issue administration argu
ments in federal court that the
Dixon-Yates contract was in
valid. The Justice Department filed
a brief Thursday in the U. S.
Court of Claims saying the
Dixon-Yates private power con
tract was invalid because of a
conflict of interest involving
New York banker Adolph H.
Wenzell.
The Dixon-Yates power com
bine is suing the government for
S3,534,778 it claims to have lost
on the now abandoned power
project at West Memphis, Ark.
Sen. Albert Gore (D-Tenn.), a
leader for the Dixon-Yates con
tract, strongly intimated the
government brief will become an
important Democratic campaign
weapon. He said that as much as
any other government project
the Dixon-Yates contract had the
personal endorsement of Presi
dent Eisenhower.
Aski Prompt Trial
Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn.),
who headed a Senate investiga
tion of the contract, said his
committee brought out Wenzell's
dual role and other faults in the
TOP TRADE-IN ALLOWANCE
contract "over violent opposition
of the administration from the
White House down."
"It is gratifying," the presi
dential candidate said in a pre
pared statement, to find that the
Justice Department "has re
versed its previous position . . .
and will now give the govern
ment these defenses."
He said he hopes the case will
be brought to trial "expedi
tiously Prior to this fall's elec
tion." Sen. Clinton P. Anderson (D
N.M.), chairman of the Senate
House Atomic Energy 'commit
tee, praised the Justice Depart
ment for finding that the gov
ernment has no liability for the
contract. He recalled he had
made this point after the Presi
dent cancelled it.
Claim Law Violationi
The Justice Department brief
said Wenzell's role in negotiat
ing the contract "involved a con
flict of interest so contrary to
public policy" as to make the
agreement "null and void."
The contract, originally signed
by the government in 1954, was
cancelled last year by President
Eisenhower. The government
raised the possibility at the time
that a conflict of interest was
involved.
In its brief, the department
issued point by point denials of
various claims by the power
combine. It cited a series of ir
regularities in negotiating the
contract which it said involved
law violations.
