Publisher's Talk Said
To Draw Criticism
Little Rock, Ark (ID
Denver publisher Palmer
Hoyt talked on integration at
the banquet of the Arkansas
Press Association Friday
night.
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.
"My position," Tudor said
"is that regradlesi of who is
right or wrong, we exposed
tne governor to tome undue
criticism of his policy at a
public meeting."
Hoyt said he did not think
Faubus seemed upset when
he talked to the governor fol
lowing the speech.
Hearing Continued
On Beck Re-Trial
Seattle (W The hearing
on a motion for a new trial
for Teamsters President Dave
Beck has been continued by
Superior Court Judge George
H. Revelle until Monday
Beck recently was convict
ed on a charge of grand lar
ceny by embezzling union
funds from the sale of a
Teamster-owned Cadillac. His
son, Dave Jr., was convicted
on a similar charge and was
denied a new trial motion
by Revelle Thursday.
Charles S. Burdell, defense
attorney, said he needed a
little more time to complete
his case. He also told the
court he would need a tran
script of Friday's session.

Follies Queen May
Get Pension Back
Chicago OP) Pension offi
cials Saturday held out hope
for a former Ziegfeld Follies
queen who was cut from the
old-age assistance rolls when
she donated a small bonanza
to underprivileged children
Annabelle Whitfor Buchan,
79, known both as the "Gib
son bathing girl" and "the
peerless Annabelle," and her
husband. 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.

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.
Four Year Old Dies
Of Skull Fracture
St. Paul, Minn. W A 4-year-old
boy died of a skull
fracture in a St. Paul hos
pital Friday night after his
father allegedly beat him with
a belt buckle. The victim
was Ronald Lee Thompson.
His father, Lee Thompson,
about 35, has been taken to
Ancker hospital for observa
tion. Police were unable to
determine why the child had
been beaten.
Detective L. L. Byrne said
Thompson became hysterical
when he found out the boy
had died. Byrne quotes
Thompson as saying: "I killed
him. I killed him. He didn't
have a chance."
