Neighbors Rally
To Help Negro
Payette, Idaho Iff) Resi
dents of this southwest Idaho
farming community rallied
Saturday to the defense of
Eddie (Willie) Alford, 51-year-old
Negro laborer and their
neighbor for the past 16 years
in his fight to avoid return to
Mississippi to face an old prison-break
charge.
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. BIBLICAL SCHOLAR DIES

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. The Carrolls
came from Issaquah, Wash
ington, and Brewster from
Portland, Ore.
