Bible-reading cop - turned -crook

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."

"I'm so excited now that I
don't know what to say," Fos
ter said. "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.

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.
Ignores U. S. Anthem -

playing of the Star Spangled
