in public Monday at a solemn
inaugural ceremony in front of
the Capitol.
The President will deliver his
2.000-word inaugural address at
that ceremony which will be
broadcast to the nation by radio
and television.
This will be followed by a 2',i
hour parade down Pennsylvania
ave. and by a glittering inaug
ural ball which will be split into
four sections to accommodate
the great throng of Republican
leaders, national and foreign dig
nitaries who rate invitations.
Administer Oath
Chief Justice Earl Warren will
administer both of Mr. Eisen
hower's oaths. Senate Republi
can Leader William F. Know

Some Clearing is

Wake of NW Storm
Scattered showers and some
clearing was forecast for south
ern Oregon today in the wake
of a storm front which brought
rpin to the Rogue valley and
snow to mountain regions Sat
urday. Weather bureau officials here
said the frontal system which

Cooler air is expected to lower

The freezing level, although

Arab Nations Reject
Middle East Dctrine
Cairo U.P.) An Arab summit
conference rejected President
Eisenhower's Mideast doctrine
Saturday and warned foreign
power presumably, including
Russia to keep "hands off the
Middle East."
A communique issued last
night said rulers of Egypt, Syria,
Saudi Arabia and Jordan "all
agreed on rejection of the
vacuum' theory and decided
that Arab nationalism was the
sole basis on which Arab policy
could be formulated."
The announcement could be
read as a warning to Russia
as well as to the West.
Egypt, Syria and Arabia also
agreed to replace Britain as the
financial backers of Jordan,
paving the way for elimination
of Jordan's last ties with the
West.

Donald Ambuehl Is
Sentenced to Three
Years; $500 Fine
Kelly May Move for
New Trial in Case
Donald La Verne Ambuehl, 31
of 1615 Crater Lake ave., was
sentenced to three years in the
penitentiary and fined $500 Fri
day for illegal possession and
control of narcotics.
Sentence was pronouned by
Ciruit Judge Orval Millard of
Josephine ounty, who presided
at Ambuehl's eight-day trial. The
jury returned a verdict of guilty
Jan. 11. Maximum penalty for
illegal possession and control of
narcotics is 10 years in the pen
itentiary and a $5,000 fine.
Eligible for Parole
Judge Millard indicated Am
buehl might be eligible for
parole in about a year.
Edward Kelly, who represent
ed Ambuehl at the trial, re
quested the sentence be deferred
until Feb. 11, when he intends
to move for a new trial. Kelly
did not state the. basis for his
proposed motion.
Judge Millard denied deferral
of sentence and ordered Am
buehl taken into custody by
sheriffs deputies.
Al Franzke, deputy district at
torney, represented the state at
the sentencing. He called to
Judge Millard's attention two
misdemeanors for which Am
buehl was convicted in Califor
nia and Nevada in 1949 and
1954. One involved a gambling
machine and the other charge
was disturbing the peace.
Franzke said a state police car
was damaged to the extent of
$160 in a collision with Am
buehl's car on July 18, imme
diately preceding his arrest.
Injuries in Crash
He added that Police Chief
Charles Champlin received a
slight head injury, and State Po
lice Lt. Paul Morgan is believed
to have sustained a permanent
heart injury from the collision.
Franzke noted that Ambuehl
could have committed a more
serious narcotic offense than the
one for which he was convicted,
but recommended no leniency.
Kelly recommended that Am
buehl be placed on probation
and emphasized to the judge that
reformation rather than punish
ment is the prime consideration
in the system of justice.
He said Ambuehl would give
up night club and tavern work
and engage in manual labor if
placed on probation. Kelly add
ed he thought it would not be
fair to blame Lieutenant Mor
gan's heart attack on Ambuehl
since the lieutenant was work
ing long hours on another case
when he became ill. Kelly also
said he thought restitution could
and should be made for damage
to the state police car.
No Evidence
In pronouncing sentence,
Judge Millard noted there was
no evidence to indicate Ambuehl
had ever been a seller of nar
cotics. He said selling narcotics
to a child, resulting in addiction
of the child, would be worse
than being a user.
The judge said to Ambuehl,
"Your record shows you've been
a cheater for a long time. . . .
You've done everything but try
to earn an honest living." He
added that Ambuehl had shown
considerable ingenuity r in his
business and stated, "If that in
genuity had been applied to a
lawful business, you wouldn't
be in the situation you're in
now.

Leaders of Revolt
In Hungary Hanged
After 6-Day Trial
Decision of Court
Reported Unanimous
Vienna (U.R) The two top
leaders of the Hungarian rebel
lion were executed Saturday,
Budapest radio announced.
The radio said Jozsef Dudas,
former chairman of the all-Hungary
Revolution Council and
Janos Szabo, his right-hand man,
were put to death after a six-day
trial.
It said they were found guilty
of "trying to overthrow the Hun
garian Peoples Democracy by
organizing an armed uprising."
A "Military Tribunal of the
Hungarian Supreme Court"
found that Dudas had set himself
up as president of the all-Hungarian
Revolution Committee
and Supreme Commander of the
armed forces of the counter-revolutionaries.
The broadcast said Dudas had
wormed his way into the Com
munist party and had been un
masked as a "provacteur" in
1946 and jailed in Romania.
The decision of the court was
unanimous. The radio said Du
das and Szabo were denied clem
ency and hanged early yester
day morning.
The executions were part of
the crackdown ordered by pup
pet Premier Janos Kadar to
smash the last elements of re
sistance to Communism- in Hun
gary. Since a martial law decree
went into effect more than one
month ago, a number of "counter-revolutionaries"
in the- Oct.
23 uprising have been executed
after trials before military tri
bunals and civilian kangaroo
courts.
The government extended its
campaign Saturday to newspap
ermen, ordering tne dissolution
of the National Association of
Hungarian Journalists.

Arrested in Valley
Three North Bend-Coos Bay

assistance in removing the car
from the ditch. The 14-year-old
driver told officers she dropped
her purse and went off the road
while attempting to find the
purse in the car. The girls ad
mitted the car thefts to a state
police officer who was summon
ed by Central Point police.
The girls told officers they
left Coos Bay and headed for
San Francisco after attending
a school basketball game Fri
day night.
The 14-year-old girl was lodg

The failure to choose a sen

state without a governor since

Electricity May
Have Caused Blast
Olympia (U.P) Static elec
tricity, possibly from friction of
wool clothing, was the most
likely cause of a dynamite blast
that killed six workers at the
Pacific Powder company plant,
Ed Sorger, Washington state
safety supervisor, said Satur
day. Sorger conducted a three-hour
hearing Friday with his chief
powder inspector, C. B. Jacobs;
three company officials and five
members of a safety committee
of employes.
The exact cause will never be
known, Sorger said, but it was
the concensus of those at the
hearing that static electricity
probably triggered the tragedy.
All six workers in the "jelly
house" of the plant 11 miles
south of here were blown to
bits by the blast Friday. Four
others in neighboring buildings
suffered minor injuries.
Sorger said all conditions were
"favorable to static electric ac
tion." The humidity reading was
one of the lowest of the year,
he said, and cold weather en
couraged the wearing of wool
clothing.

Communist Party Chief Wlady

last night on the eve of a "free"
parliamentary election to sup
port his program of friendship
with Russia or see Poland "cross
ed from the map of Europe."
Gomulka bitterly denounced
in a broadcast to the nation both
the anti-Communist and Stalin
ist opposition which seeks to
oust him from power.
Urges Country
He urged the country to ac
cept the "road mapped out for
Poland in the October Days"
when as a Titoist he bloodlessly
took Over from the" Stalinists
and charted a more independent
course while remaining friendly
with the Kremlin.
Gomulka emphasized in his
13-minute address that voters
must support his candidates if
Poland is to keep the "most
vital" friendship of Russia.
Opponents of his regime, he
said, "are well aware that only
Socialist Poland can figure on
the map of Europe as a sovereign
and independent state."
To Crossroads
He thus brought his country
to the Communist crossroads.
Some 18 million voters, taking
part in the first "free" postwar
election in the country, must
choose between Gomulka and
his followers and the diehards
who would restore the old Iron
disciplined Stalinist regime.
Gomulka had the backing of
