8 Non-Strikers Jailed in Yilson Plant Dispute Albert Lea, Minn. (UPD Eight non-strikers were jailed today lor carrying shotguns, rifles and pistols into Wilson & Co. packing plant, reopen - ed with the lifting of martial law here. The plant's reopening and the city's return to civil rule after 16 days of martial law came off otherwise without incident. "Everything went just fine," Sheriff Everette Stovern said. "There was no trouble what soever." National guardsmen, their rifles slung over their shoul ders, searched cars as the van guard of about 500 non-union workers drove past picket lines to get the plant back , into operation. They seized about a dozen guns and at least one knife. The sheriff said the eight workers arrested, along with one more yet to be jailed, will appear before a judge for violation of a restraining or der. An order issued by Judge John Cahill several weeks ago outlawed weapons in the plant vicinity. At least 150 workers, hired since the strike was called more than nine weeks ago, drove through picket lines this morning. Later this week the company planned to put 350 more men back to work. The governor's action de claring martial law and clos ing the plant was overruled by a three-judge federal court. JOHNSTON STORES Appliance CDearance Sale!

JOHHSfblTSTORES 112 South Riverside Three Americans Waiting Indonesia Court Appearances Tokyo - (UPD - Free lance flier Allen Lawrence Pope is not the only American facing trial in Indonesia. Two Californians Frank C. Starr, 41, and Wesley Broce, 22, of Long Beach - have been in jail in Djakarta since last May on charges of illegally entering the country. Like the Pope case, which involves a charge of flying bombing missions for the In donesian rebels, the case of the two Californians is politi cally embarrassing for the U.S. State Department The two claimed they were on an official peace-making mission seeking to bring a rapprochement between the Indonesian government and the rebels when they were captured in the Borneo jun gles last May without proper papers. 'Peace With Honor . Both, signed statements to the effect they were negotiat ing a "peace with honor" for the rebels. Starr claimed he had a contract to sell arms to the rebels and admitted a number of other activities which could bring a death penalty if proved. However, the chances of any charges being pressed on these activities were lessened considerably when the case was turned over to civilian authorities by the military some time ago. Their case was called this fall at the Djakarta District Court. But it was suddenly postponed after the judge and most of the participants-ex- $ 125 00 SALE cept the defendants - had gathered in the courtroom. The reason given for the postponement was that the prosecutor was ill and was not able to appear. This was more than three months ago. Aciiv But Confined Starr has been active al though confined. He has man aged to smuggle hundreds of letters from Djakarta's Tjipi nant prison where he and Broce are being held. A large number of the letters have been to the American Embassy and to U.S. Ambassador Howard P. Jones. Starr has used extreme ly bitter language in assailing the Embassy's failure to get him released. He has threat ened on several occasions to have the Ambassador fired once .he is released. Starr claims close associ ates in a number of high places in the United States and Indonesia. . . Some of the accusations Starr has levelled against In donesian Defense Minister and Army. Chief of Staff Lt, Gen. Abdul Haris Nasution have caused consternation among Embassy officials. One of the charges accused Nasu tion of promising the rebels he would pull off a coup d'etat. ' . , Unlike the Pope case, the Starr and Broce. case . has caused no serious public re action and has gotten only oc casional mention in the Com munist press. But it still is a headache for Embassy officials. New Jury Panel In Finch Trial Los Angeles (DPD A new panel of prospective jurors was called today for resump tion of the murder trial of Dr. R. Bernard Finch and his red haired paramour, Carole Tre- goff. Finch, 42, a wealthy physl cian, and Miss Tregoff, 23, his former receptionist, are ac cused of the fatal shooting July 18 of Finch's estranged wife, Barbara, 33, outside the Finch $65,000 home in nearby West Covina.
