Ollen Lovell, 30, and his wife, left a note, Thursday night saying they were going away because they had no money to buy food and could not stand to see their young ones go hungry. Although the Lovells have not been located as yet, offers of work have ,been made to both theman and his wife by persons who learned of the tragedy. Columbia, S.C. (UPI) James Fulton Foster, father of seven, prepared Saturday to end two years in death row because the confession of a Bible-reading cop - turned -crook cleared him of a 1956 murder. Charles P. (Rocky) Roths child of Cairo, 111., signed a confession Friday saying he shot a Georgia merchant in a burglary attempt two years ago. Foster had been convict ed of the murder and sentenc ed to death. Romulo Warns U.S. Of Neutrality Rise San Antonio, Tex. (UPI) Philippine Ambassador to the United States Carlos P. Romulo has told Americans to be wary of the spread of neutrality in Asia and has suggested the United States "project into Asia that which it put into the Philippines in order to assure the West of continued superiority." Romulo said "neutrality is advancing in Asia and neu trality certainly doesn't favor the United States." He said "a life and death struggle for world power is going on" and told more than 1,000 members of the State Bar of Texas association that the U. S. is losing out by not increasing aid to Asian na tions. Two Basie Truths Speaking before the associ ation's 76th annual meeting Friday, Romulo said there are two "basic truths" to be con sidered: . "Invincibility of the West is gone" and "America can't afford to lose one single friend." The international statesman said the West was invincible and invulnerable before the Second World War, but the situation was changed by the Korean conflict and World War II. He put the blame for the current Lebanon crisis on American inaction in 1956 when "Russia achieved suc cess in getting an outlet to the Mediterranean by the sale of arms to Egypt." Manpower Lag In terms of manpower, he said "the race for world lead ership is already against the United States." He said more than one bil lion Asians "are not lined up with" America. Romulo claim ed more than 650 million Chinese "are lost to the West and under the domination of Russia." - i He said 450 million natives of India, 80 million Indones ians, and 40 million people in Burma and Ceylon "call themselves neutral." ,f yu " U kei'l " "d four chair I &l5&Q$(r I 1 ai8:?0 1 plui two axrra arm chain anJ three Netting Decorator lX t.HTl JW.f I I "Sfloefc igg table.

"But I do want to thank all the people that helped me." His wife, who had remain ed at home in Greer, S.C, with the seven children dur ing the two years her hus band was awaiting execution, heard the news of Rothschild's confession by accident on a newscast. Six of the children heard it also. Jump With Joy , "They've been jumping up and down with joy. They keep running to the window to see if he's coming down the road," she said. "I knew from the very be ginning he didn't do it. He's too good a husband and fa ther to do it. He's just too good." Rothschild said the Bible led him to confess shooting Charles Drake, 56, of Jeffer son, Ga., two years ago. The onetime Cairo police man cited the Fifth chapter, 10th Verse of thee book of St. Mathew: "Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness sake for, theirs is the kingdom of heaven." "May God return him to his wife and family and may he have a long and happy life, Rothschild said of Fos ter. To Return Home Officials at Jefferson said Foster would be free to re turn to his home at Greer to day or Sunday, depending on necessary paper work. Rothschild was being held in the South Carolina State penitentiary for slashing his arm with a razorblade two weeks ago in the Spartans burg jail where he was serv ing a five-year sentence for conspiracy in a safe robbery. His confession said he and two other men staged the rob bery killing of the Jef ferson merchant. Foster had claimed inno cence all along, saying he had been drinking beer seven miles from the merchant's home at the time of the mur der. But he was convicted, partly on identification by the murdered man's wife. A fund to pay lawyers' fees was raised by residents of the Jefferson area who believed in Foster's innocence. Convicted in August, 1956, he was scheduled to die first on Sept. 17, 1957, then again on June 21, 1958. Both execu tions were delayed on ap peals. " Horseman Shot With 13 Bullets Brady, Tex. (UPI) A meek- mannered Louisiana man was ; held on murder charges yesterday in the 13 bullet shooting of 1 a brawny part-Indian horseman who had been the central figure in a sensational seven-week murder trial in 1953 at Oma ha, Neb. Jesse B. Harris, Jr.," 32, Shreveport, La., was held in .the McCulloch County jail after turning himself in to police Friday for the fatal shooting of Joe Kuykendall,' 39, in the stable area of the July Jubilee racing grounds. A district court jury ac quitted the six-times-married horseman and blacksmith five years ago amid shputs and screams after the longest jury trial on record in Omaha. Kuykendall had been charged witl; beating to death his heir ess wife, Ardath Nonie Kuy kendall, 30, in their plush trailer home during the Ak-Sar-Ben racing season at Omaha. , His own death - came : two hours after his body was rid dled with 13 bullets at the end of the sixth race on open ing day of the quarter-horse and thoroughbred racing at the July Jubilee track. Spectators thought the ex plosions were firecrackers un til the six-foot, four-inch Kuy kendall crashed to the earth from his. saddle. Witnesses said he and Harris had ar gued over transfer papers on a horse. ' Harris was charged with murder .with malice.. Kuyken dall had been tried for first degree murder, which rough ly corresponds in Nebraska with the Texas charge here. July 4 Is Just AnotKor Party Day for Trujillo San Pedro, Calif. (UPI) Gen. Rafael Trujillo Jr., survived the rigors of an all night "bash" aboard his pri vate man-of-war and then re turned his girls to his home- away-from home, pier 86. The girls were returned to land yesterday morning from the Catalina channel area aft- Hawaii Task Force Arrives in Stales San Francisco (UPI) A Hawaii statehood task force was en route to the mainland Saturday for an assault on a pessimistic Congress with the hope of stitching the 50th star to the flag before the year is out. The group was headed by Hawaii Gov. William Quinn and Statehood Commission Chairman Lorrin P. Thurston, publisher of the Honolulu Ad vertiser. Among those scheduled to greet the islanders at Inter national airport was Alaska Gov. Mike Stepovich, presum ably to give Quinn some tips on acquiring statehood. Quinn in turn was to present Stepo vich with the 49th star which Hawaii had hoped it cc.'ld add to the national standard. The Hawaii delegation was to remain overnight here, then fly on to Washington to-day. er a series of episodes Friday in which Trujillo, who failed to graduate . from, the U. '. Army General command school, also flopped Fourth of July protocol. He made quite a few booboos in not observ ing the niceties of this coun try's big holiday. Trujillo, 29, soldier-playboy of the Dominican Republic, obviously preferred an esti mated ten girls to internation al flagwaving. Nosy people with binoculars counted at least ten girls -aboard the "Angelita." ' Hoists More . Than . Ancher "He was hoisting more than the anchor," one observer said. "He was hoisting a drink in one hand and a blonde in the other. It looked like a cocktail party with musicians going full toot. That was aft ernoon. By early evening the kid hoisted anchor for some place less open,' I guess." Small points of Trujillo's observance of the holiday included: Snubbing his nose at in ternational protocol by net hoisting full dress colors on plush yacht in recognition of Independence Day until leav ing Los Angeles harbor.
