It drew criticism from State Sen. Tom Allen, a pub lisher himself, and vice pres ident of the association plan ned to go before the board of directors Saturday to ask the association to issue a formal apology to Gov. Orval Fau- bus. Allen, who publishes a weekly newspaper at Brink- ley, Ark., said he felt the speech was in poor taste and walked out when Hoyt pre faced his remarks, saying he did not intend to criticize Faubus for his actions in the Little Rock crisis. Faubus. who introduced the Denver Post editor and Dublisher. said he felt Hovt had a rieht to his orjinion. but it was another story of an outsider judging southern problems. In his speech, Hoyt said the Little Rock integration crisis is part of an "unfolding, im plied tragedy" that could end in the disintegration of Amer ica. "Little Rock, whether you like it or not, has become an outpost of America's cold war struggle against alien forces who would enfold behind the iron curtain the billions of off-white people who populate the earth," he said. Hoyt said the world be lieves that the armed power ASSOC ATION Time of an American state involved to prevent nine Negro chil dren from obtaining an edu cation. The board of directors of the PTA defeated by a vote of four-to-two a motion by Keith Tudor, ' a board vice president, to send Faubus a formal apology.

Hoyt said he did not think Faubus seemed upset when he talked to the governor fol lowing the speech.

Dr. Edward J. Bu chan, 77, ran into trouble when they turned a $900 magazine fee over to the Chi cago off-the-street club for children last July. Mrs. Buchan earned the fee by writing a first-person ac count of the Chicago Iroquois Theatre blaze in which 601 persons were killed in 1903. The 42-18-38 beauty was playing "queen of the fairy ballet" in "Mr. Bluebeard" when the tragedy happened, When the federal govern ment heard that Mrs. Buchan gave the $900 to charity, she and her husband were dropped from the pension rolls for violating a rule that requires pensioners to use their funds on personal liv ing expenses. Cook County Welfare Di rector Raymond M. Hilliard said, however, that if a real emergency existed the Bu- chans can make reapplication and be returned to the wel fare rolls immediately.

Widow Sobs Oyer Jury's Leniency At Murder Trial Rockingham, N. C. (U" Frank Edward Wetzel re ceived a life sentence Friday night for slaying a North Car olina highway patrolman. The widow of the slain pa trolman, on hearing the sen tence, sobbed hysterically: "He's going to live! He's go ing to live! I can't bear it." A Richmond County Super ior court jury deliberated slightly more than three hours Friday before finding the 37-year-old Seneca Falls, N.Y., fugitive guilty of first degree murder in the death of Wister Lee Reece, one of two patrolmen he killed last Nov. 5. The jury spared Wetzel's life, however, making the life sentence mandatory. Despite a warning by Judge J. A. Rousseau against any demon strations, many of the large group of teen-aged girls in the crowded courtroom squealed and clapped their hands when the verdict was announced. Wetzel broke into smiles and several persons shook his hand but the widow of the slain patrolman collapsed and was carried from the court room sobbing. The pretty dark-haired na tive of Wales whom Reece married in England 13 years ago was treated in an ante room adjoining the court room. Wetzel, asked by a report er if he felt he had a fair trial, said, . "I don't think I should have been convicted." The jury of 10 men and two women could have sent Wet zel to the lethal gas chamber by omitting the mercy rec ommendation. Wetzel's older brother, Wil liam Alvin Wetzel, is to be executed in the Mississippi electric chair next Friday for murder. Defense attorney John T. Page Jr., gave notice of ap peal but said he had not de cided whether an appeal might be made. Wonder-Wrap 9113 Dress! Coat! Duster!

MYSTERY Open Throughout The Year MEDFORD (OREGON) Jobless In U. 5. Pass 8-Year Mark Washington (W More job less Americans were claiming unemployment benefits two weeks ago than at any time in almost eight years, govern ment figures showed Satur day. Claims came in during the week ended Dec. 28 at a rate almost as heavily as during the 1954 recession. The figures indicated to some extent the severity of the downturn in the nation's economy. President Eisenhower noted the slump in his State of the Union message Thursday. He said, however, there were signs things would get better. An estimated 2,360,400 workers sought federal-state unemployment insurance in the last week of 1957, accord ing to a labor department re port late Friday. This was the highest total since 2,391,000 in February, 1950. There were 1,467,500 in sured unemployed during the corresponding period a year ago. The department said the year-end increase followed the seasonal pattern but was "substantially larger than usual." Every state but two report ed increases in insured unem ployment. Most blamed it on widespread plant shut-downs for inventory, production cut backs in metals, machinery and auto manufacturing and further slackening of outdoor work.
