They not only backed him with encouraging words but with money. His friends hired an attorney to help him fight extradition. Alford was arrested here a few weeks ago on a drunk charge. A check of his fing erprints revealed that he was wanted in Mississippi on a charge of escaping from pris on, where he was serving a five year sentence on a charge of stealing S240 from a Mis sissippi farmer in 1939. He had served two years of his sentence when he broke out. He refused to waive extra dition when arraigned on a fugitive warrant from Missis sippi. Alford claims that he did not steal the money in Missis sippi. "I wouldn't have run away if I did," he said. "But since I didn't steal it, I figured I didn't owe the state of Missis sippi anything." Government Back To Red Ink Use Washington OP) The fed eral government has returned to red-ink spending. The expected budget sur plus for the current fiscal year has been turned into a deficit by a billion-dollar boost in spending in the wake of Russia's sputniks and a billion-dollar drop in tax reve nues caused by the business slump. President Eisenhower made the startling disclosure today in his budget message to Con gress. Submitting a precariously balanced budget for the new fiscal year starting July 1, the President said he can't balance the budget for the current fiscal year despite all previous hopes. He said federal spending will exceed revenues by '$400 million in the year ending June 30. Only three months ago the administration fore cast a $1,500,000,000 surplus. A year ago when the current year's budget was submitted to Congress the President foresaw a $1,700,000,000 sur plus.

Bandit Chieffan Finally Cornered Tehran, Iran OP) The elusive bandit chieftain Dad Shah, who murdered three American civilians last March, was cornered Saturday and killed by Iranian police, it was reported. An official police spokes man said Dad Shah died in a bloody battle in a remote sec tion of this largely barren land. But he refused to dis close any details. Unofficial reports said Dad Shah and his band were tracked down in their moun tain hideout by Iranian po lice. Twenty men 10 on each side were said to have died in the gunfight. Dad Shah has been the ob ject of a relentless manhunt since he and his outlaw band ambushed a U.S. Point Four party in the wilds of the Baluchistan desert 10 months ago. Killed in the bandit attack last March 24 were Kevin Carroll, 37, and Brewster Wil son, 35, and two Iranian drivers. The body of Carroll's wife. Anita, 35. was found four days later.
